Rabbit Hunting in Grant County

Geo. Ingham, Ed. Beasley and
gifeSand S. D. Knowles left here last
sunday for Ephrata, having been in
vited to take part in a rabbit hunt by
W. H. Bozarth, prosperous ranch
owner who once made his home in
Leavenworth but for the past eight
years has made his home on a home
stead which he acquired in Grant
county years ago. Mr.. Bozarth met
the Leavenworth party at the depot
with his auto and whirled them to his
home IS miles south OF Ephrata in
less than twice that many minutes. On
the following day, in the rabbit hunt,
more than hundred rabbits were
bagged. One of the Leavenworth
hunters got so excited that he lost
two guns, which he fortunately found
again. Mr.. Ingham, who returned to
Leavenworth Wednesday, says the
road from Ephrata to the Bozarth home
is equal to macadamized boulevard.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beasley will be guests
OF the Bozarth family until after the
first Of the year.

In the past the planning mill has run
all winter but on account of the ex-
treme dullness in the lumber trade it
is not likely either the box mill or
planning mill will operate before spring.
With the entire plant shut down the
monthly payroll will be $4,000 per
month, which does not include the Of
fee force and the superintendent and
general manager.
With a revival OF the lumber trade,
which is confidently expected to come
with spring, operations will be resumed
all along the line.

prosperity OF Leavenworth it cuts quite
large swath. The following account
OF its operations the past year will be
found not uninteresting reading:
This seasons run began April S and
closed Nov. IS, running every day
without interruption excepting the
Fourth OF July and two half days when
the saw mill had to close down on ac-
count of high wind. For about three
months the plant ran day and night,
giving employment to $50 men in the
saw mill, planning mill and box factory,
at which time the payroll was upwards
Of $4,000 per month, tor labor. The
total lumber cut was 81, 900, 900 board
feet. Of which 500 cars, in the shape
of lumber was shipped out, 20 per cent
being sold in the state and 80 per
cent was shipped to the middle west
and the east, leaving stock on hand
in the yards and sheds Of between
fifteen and twenty million feet.
The product of the box mill was
shipped out in ESQ cars, one half of
which was fruit boxes, used in the
state of Washington. When it is re.
called that each of these 125 cars con-
tanned over ten thousand boxes some
idea of the number of fruit boxes made
and used can be formed. The balance
Of the box shipments went mostly to
the meat packers of Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska and ran from five to
eight thousand boxes to the car. Per-
haps FIVE car loads Of boxes have been
left on hand.
Extensive Logging Operations
Some idea OF the extent OF the log
ging activity OF the company may be
formed when we state that for some
time last winter and spring 500 men
were employed in the woods, and that
the payroll OF the logging camps ran
over $25 900 per month. The logging
force was cut down in July since which
time the logging has been confined al
most entirely to the Adams & Costello
camp, Geo. Mcdonald and the COM
pany camp. The company camp was
closed down the end of this year, and
during this winter the logging will be
confined to Adams & Costello and the
camp OF Mr.. Mcdonald. The stock Of
logs on hand closely approximates 80
million feet, one half OF which is in the
mill pond and the balance scattered
along the rivers and in the woods and
along the line of the Wenatchee Valley
& Northern railway, a subsidiary cor
poration owned by the big lumber
company, with about thirty miles of

the process is termed rediscounting OF
its commercial paper.
This makes liquid the credit of the
entire district served by federal re-
serve bank; that is, it will readily flow
from one point to another as local
needs arise. It also makes mobile
all the bank reserves OF that district;
that is, those reserves may readily
be moved from point to point as local
needs arise.
May Obtain Currency as a Right, Not a
Favor
Under the new law member bank
that is sound and has in its note
portfolio good commercial paper will
be entitled as a right to rediscount
that paper" and receive temporary
loans of currency. Under the old law
an individual bank wanting more cur
rency had to seek it as favor from
some other bank, and to offer its COM
mercial paper for rediscount was re-
garded as desperate measure which
in itself threw the bank under suspi
cion and had tendency still further to
weaken its standing.
Broader mobility Of credit and re-
serves is provided in the section OF
the new law which authorizes the cen
trail reserve board at Washington, on
vote of five OF its seven members, to
compel one central reserve bank to
loan currency to another central re-
serve bank. For example, if currency
were abundant in the San Francisco
district, while the northwestern dis
trict stood in need OF an extraordinary
supply TO move its crops to market,
five of the seven members OF the cen
trail reserve board could compel the
San Francisco district to ship the stipu-
lated quantity of currency to the cen
trail reserve bank in the northwest
And conversely, the board at Wash
ington could, on occasion, require the
northwest to help the southwest tide
over its extraordinary requirements.
How the Managing Directors Will
BE Chosen
The president Of the United States
will appoint and the senate confirm the
of the central reserve board
at Washington. Each regional reserve
bank will be managed by nine direct
ors. These are to be selected by the
member banks as directly representa-
tive of the banking interests; three are
to be selected by the member banks
to be representative Of the general pub
lie interests OF the district and three
are to be appointed by the federal re-
serve board at Washington.
1t is gratifying to note disposition
by President. Wilson and members OF
congress to inaugurate the new system
on nonpartizan lines. Washington dis
patches report that the president has a
keen understanding that the success or
the failure of the system may turn on
the personnel of the central reserve
board, and influential senators and rep
have declared purpose to
abstain from partizan pressure and leave
the president free to exercise his best
judgment undisturbed by party pull
and pressure. If this avowed policy is
maintained the presidents initial ap-
pointments will stand as a correct and
precedent for the future.

Madison.-Prof c. 2. Cary, state SUI
perintendent of public instruction, has
apportioned the school fund income
for the year 1913 among the common
schools Of the state. The apportion-
ment is based on the number of chill
dren of school age, between 4 and 20
years, in each school district accord
ing to the school census taken last
June The total amount apportioned
this year was S2,218,216.68, as against
S2,104, 52941 last year. This money
comes from a state tax levy of seven
tenths Of mill on 81, 100000 from
the license fees and taxes paid by
corporations and receipts from certain
fines, sales of state land and several
other sources.
The total number of children Of
school age in the state this year was
770,820 as against 5,473 last year,
the decrease being accounted for by
greater accuracy in taking the census
this year. Tile total number of chill
dren in the city of Milwaukee this

last year. The per capita apportion-
ment outside of the city of Milwaukee

capita apportionment is $2.8652 this
year as against $2699 last year.

toned to each county for 1913 is as
