MORE BUSINESS HOUSES
AND MANY RESIDENCES
No Let Up in the Building Activity
Front Street Business BlOCk-COn-
tracts Let for Residences

Work on the three story Barclay
building is progressing rapidly. The
basement walls will be completed by
the last OF this week and work on the
brick walls will be rushed as rapidly
as possible. The iron is expected to
arrive this week. The o. S. Sampson
residence, under construction by Hart
man & McKinsey will be ready for
occupancy about the first of June. A
dozen other residences are in more
or less advanced stage of completion.
You can see new roofs and building
walls in any direction.
John Bjork has all but let the con-
tract for two story business block on
Front street adjoining the Overland
Hotel building which he erected seven
years ago and proved very profitable
investment. Messrs ]. B. Adams and
T. ]. Burke own the adjoining lot and
an interest in the foundation walls OF
the Bloom building. By agreeing on
party wall with Mr.. Bjork they could
have building by simply closing the
two ends, and it is a foregone conclu-
sion that they will also build.
w. L. Hale, one Of the best fixed
ranchers in the upper Wenatchee val
ley owns fine lot for a residence on
the east end of Front street which he
has had cleared OF rock and leveled.
He has had the contractors figuring on
handsome residence to cost about
$4,000. Work on this building may
not commence for a month or two but
it will be built before the summer is
over. Billy Smith has the contract to
build a six room $4,000 bungalo for J.
P. Williams and an $500 FIVE room
bungalo style residence for Mrs. Gus
sic Myers who recently returned to
Leavenworth after an absence OF sew
eral years. DR.. Snyder let the con-
tract last week for a four room resi-
dence to a ]. A. Love, to be built on
the north side of the track. We have
heard OF five or six other residences on
which figures are being made and
which will materialize by the end of
this week.

Matt Sonitsch brought four quarters
of three year old heifer from his
Chumstick valley ranch Wednesday
and sold it for $72.35. The four quar-
tiers weighed 62o pounds and the price
was 11A cents per pound. Counting
the hide, tallow and other by-products
he received over $50 for his three year
old. Why cannot more people raise
cattle here. There is nothing more
profitable or certain.

BRIDGE
FOR PIPE OVER RIVER
Contractor Quigg Says Cost Will Not be
Over $780, Objections Made to
Cow Ordinance

That part of the pipe line OF the
city's water system which is laid on
the bottom Of the Wenatchee river,
just below the dam will never prove
satisfactory, was the statement Of Con-
tractor Quigg at the council meeting
Tuesday evening. Several OF the
councilmen who made an investigation
were OF the same belief, and it was de-
cided to have contractors Seaman &
Quigg put in suspension bridge, the
cost of which Mr.. Seaman said would
not be over $500, and in all prob
ability a lesser amount. The con-
tractors agreed to do the work at cost
plus ten per cent. 1t will require
about two weeks to put in the bridge,
after which Messrs. Seaman & Quigg
will be ready to turn over the system
to the city.
A communication from the Civic
League, signed by Max Jeffords, was
read asking that the council take steps
to remove the slot machines in the
pool rooms. The marshall was in
structed to see that the machines were
put out of business.
Asking that a street light be in
stalled on Cedar street, a petition was
presented bearing the signatures of a
number of residents in that vicinity.
The matter was referred to commit
tee with power to act. Another petit
ton asking for a light on Whitman
street was turned over to the same
committee.
An ordinance establishing water rates
was read for the first time and laid over
until the next meeting. 1t was decid-
ed that the water receipts must be
paid on or before the 5th of every
month, and failure to do so would re-
suit in the cutting off Of the water, and
fine OF so cents imposed when it was
turned on again.
w. c. Wallace was present and made
strong objections to the ordinance
passed last meeting which limited one
COW to each family in the city limits.
He stated that he kept several COWS
and was in the business OF selling milk
and that he thought it was unjust for
the council to forbid him to keep more
than one COW on his premises, provid-
ing he kept his barn in sanitary con-
dition. No action was taken.

Here is a Simple Wayof Cor.
recti,lg it Instantly Before
it Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thousands
injure themselves by the use OF
strong cathartics, salt mineral wa
tiers, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
it is true, but the good effect is soon
lost, and the more one takes OF them
the less effective they become
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary. and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained
by using scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind high sounding name,
but is what it is represented to be,
a mild laxative medicine. III is so
mild that thousands of mothers give
it to tiny infants. and yet it is so COM
pounded and contains such definite
ingredients that it will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic con-
stipation. In fact, among The great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
1t is fact that millions of Families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house. homes like those of Mrs. G. b.
Pruitt. Berea. Ky. who used DIR. Cald-

Western Canada people are leaving

participated largely in the holiday
business of the railroads and the
steamships, but they all had return
tickets. Early in December the east
bound trains and boats were loaded,
and an estimate furnished by the rail-
road people gave upwards OF twelve
thousand as the number who would
make the Christmas holiday visit
abroad. This does not mean that these
people are leaving to avoid the cold
