GETTING READY FOR BIG
CUT COMING SUMMER
Over Hundred Men Employed at Id.
Mill in Making Changes to Increase
Capacity

A visit to the big mill OF the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co. plant located in
the western suburbs OF the town dis
closed busy scene. Mr.. Riggs, the
new superintendent OF the manufac-
turing department Of the plant said the
plant had heretofore been operated
with what the trade calls two double
cut band saws. This will be changed
to two single cut band saws, which
will slightly reduce the daily cut,
which will, however, be almost dou
bled the coming summer by oper-
ating the mill night and day. The
quality of the lumber Of a single cut
band saw is vastly superior to that
turned out by the double cut mills.
and the policy of the new manage
ment will be quality, rather than
quantity.
Forty-odd skilled mechanics are emf
ployed in overhauling the saw mill.
New log carriages and new edgers are
among the improvements being made.
At the planning mill a large number Of
men are employed. The boiler room
and engine house, 40x80, with walls
10 feet feet high, built of brick, is
being replaced with substantial brick
building of much larger dimensions
and the furnaces refined with new fire
brick. New and improved machinery
will be added to the planning mill.
The dry kiln is also receiving an
overhauling and being placed in first
class condition. The round house of
the Wenatchee Valley and Northern
railway, located near the planning mill,
has been enlarged to double its former
capacity. A change made necessary
by the additional equipment ordered
for the road. The new engine is ex-
pected to arrive the last OF this month,
making three engines for this road.
The new log loader, much larger
than the old one, is being set up and
gotten ready for work. The new flat
cars ordered some time ago have ar
rived. Manager Mcdonald, who is
keeping the road open to Appleton
and making three trips every week,
says log hauling has ceased for the
present on account Of the extraordi-
nary amount of snow to contend with,
but will be resumed early in the spring.
Logging, while not carried on so ex-
tensively since the heavy fall of snow,
is still going on in the Wenatchee and
Chewawa river valley.
Together with the skilled mechan-
les employed in making changes and
improvements in the saw mill, box
mill and planning mill, over hundred
men are now employed. Mr.. Riggs
says in the future the policy will be to
turn out the highest class Of material,
both in lumber and boxes, and TO this
end the changes and Improvements in
the equipment of the plant are being
made.

G. n. SETTLES WITH
SNOW SHOVELERS
Men Who We're Detained Here for few
Days Receive Money Monday and
Leave for the Coast

The last Of the hundred or more
striking snow shovelers who were the
guests OF the city OF Leavenworth from
Thursday of last week to Monday de-
parted Monday evening for the coast.
In the action brought against the rail
road company it was charged that the
company owed each man S19 which
included pay for the time they had
been forced to remain in this city.
The date for hearing had been set for
next Saturday. but Great Northern
Attorney Dougherty arrived here Mon
day morning with orders to settle with
the men and rather than wait for a
week, it was decided to bring the mat
ter to an end.
From Attorney Nelson who repre-
sents the snow shoyelers, we learn
that the men were paid for the actual
time they put in which ranged from
81 to 81 after their board had been
paid. Their meals while in this city
were also settled for by the company.
In addition to this the men were given
transportation to either Spokane or Sc
attle and late Monday evening the
larger portion Of them boarded 43 for
Seattle.
The conduct OF the men during
their stay in this city was very orderly
and as a whole they were far above
the average. that one sees among this
class of men. There were some peo-
pie in this city who condemned the
workers, claiming them to be I. w.
WIS who wouldn't work if they had
too, but the majority of the citizens
appeared TO be in sympathy with the
strikers. Probably the conditions were
not as bad as some OF the laborers pic
tured them but at any rate they were
bad enough. The company might
have made some arrangements to feed
the men after they left them stranded
in this city, but they did not and 1t
was up to the citizens of Leavenworth
to provide food and shelter for the
unfortunate ones.
Several citizens of Leavenworth,
among whom were Mayor Carlquist,
L. J. Nelson, D. H. Magyar, Chas.
Mischke, Rev. Max Jefords and 9TH
ers whose names we have not been
able to learn, went good for the meals
for the men, and the nights they
spent in the Methodist church and
the city hall. Mr.. Jeffords speaks
very highly Of the conduct OF those
who STAYED at the church and says he
would not want to meet finer bunch
OF men.
The twenty-three strikers who were
arrested in Spokane Friday morning
for beating their way from here to that
city on passenger No. 4, were aTaigned
before Justice Fred Witt in Spokane
and given a fine of IS which was re-
mitted short time later. Those who
went to Spokane received their money
Sunday morning, each one drawing be-
tween SO and 50.

MINING PARTY ARE
ON WAY TO ALASKA
Left Here Just Before HOlidays-Inip
Made Without MiShap

Don Thomas, who left here a week
before Christmas and with him Jack
Carr, Bill Herder and Dan Ryan,
writes from Hinchinbrook light house,
on Prince William sound, under date
of Dec. %, just day or two before
the party expected to arrive at their
destination, on Culross island, where
the mines are located. Writing OF
their experience on the trip Mr..
Thomas says:
We left Seattle at 9 p. m, Sunday
Dec. %, just week ago to-day. Our
first day out was warm and spring like
with all the bunch regular at meal
times, which means four times day.
On our second day up by Pitt and
Royal islands, B. c.. we encountered
severe snow squalls and cold weather,
but as we were on the inside passage
we considered ourselves safe. We had
now settled down to ship life, such as
playing cards and telling yarns. The
third day out was stormy with snow
and blizzard. We arrived at Ketchikan
at 11:30 a. m. 1t being Christmas
all places were closed except the
drinking resorts. We also had one OF
the finest dinners that was ever set on
any table. And at Q a. m. on our
fourth day we passed thru Wrangel
Narrows arriving in Juneau at II noon.
Juneau is one OF Alaska's livest towns,
it being within three miles Of the fa-
nous Treadwell mine. We left Juneau
at 1:30 p. m. on Our way thru icy
straits and Cross Sound.
On the morning of the fifth day at
about 2:30 a. m. we came out on the
big Pacific and Bill and I did not want
anything 70 eat all that day, it being
somewhat rough. We arrive at Yakutat
Bay at 10 p. m. and then OF course we
sat down to the midnight lunch, at
that table all were present, up to this
time Jack and Dan were first class
sailors, but they were in their hunks
most of the time. We left Yakutat at
a. m. on the sixth day out and en-
countered heavy southwesterly swell
and there was plenty of room at the
table while the swell lasted, we ar
rived at Katalla at 8 p. m. and an
chored in the roadsted of the town
about u miles out and waited most
all night for the scow to come out and
take the freight ashore which amounted
to fifty tons. This being our seventh
day out we left Katalla at a. m. and
are just now entering Prince William
Sound and expect to arrive at Cordova
at about 8 or 9 p. m. We will not
arrive at our camp until New Years
day. All are enjoying the best of
health, of course, barring seasickness,
which we had to put up with. To-day
has been quite cold, but there is very
little snow on the ground. Am mail
ing this at Cordova, so as to catch the
Mariposa back, as there is not an
other mail boat for ten days, believe.

A little japanese girl, who happened
to be in Brussels at the time, was maxi
ing her way to her pension one night
when she was attacked from behind by
an apache, who drew a handkerchief
tightly about her neck. In a moment
che would have been on her way to
Ntrvana, the ultimate hope OF all Budd-
hfsts. had 1t not been for her quick
action. But she had no fear OF death,
and with one forceful back jab of her
left arm she caught her enemy right
over the heart and he dropped to the
corner and found a policeman and turned
the apache over to him. after which
she calmly continued on her way to
her pension.
That little girl was Miss Al Kishi,
who at the time was only fifteen years
OF age and just about the average height
and size for a girl OF her years. She
knew no fear. in fact. she has never
known what It was to be afraid; she Is
not afraid to-day. She Is not afraid OF
the biggest man In the world.
She is not a curiosity. neither Is she
a freak OF human nature. She Is simply
educated In the art of self-defcnse and

when she was just old enough to tod
