SUMMER SEASON At.
OLD POINT CAMP
xAvERIAN BROTHER AND
CHARGES ENJOY THEM
SELVES GREATLY.

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
OLD POINT COMFORT. VA. July
2e.-The summer camp conducted by
the Xaverian Brothers at Old Point
Comfort college Is enjoying an un-
usually prosperous season. Since
opening day. July 4th, accommoda-
tons have been taxed to the utmost.
Besides the boy campers. the brothers
IN charge have several brothers from
various inland points here as guests.
Quite buzz of excitement occurred
Tuesday. when the government avi-
ators. Lieutenants Smith and Cheval-
Ter, en- route from Annapolis to Fort
Monroe, drove their hydroaeroplane
over the camp and along College bay,
descending In graceful spiral to
Hampton Roads. Lieutenant Smith Is
we'll known to the Richmond campers,
and they felt quite proud of his
&C hdeveme but the whole gather
ing is interested because Lieutenant
Smith spent several summers at o.
p. G. camp.
Everybody Is waiting anxtously for
the maneuvers at Fort Monroe The
soldiers have been in camp for sew
with the big guns. but the most In
terest centers around the attempt to
capture Fort Monroe. Last year the
most vigorous fighting occurred on
the summer camp grounds. the Reds
and Blues engaging in deadly combat
The weekly searchlight drill is an
other interesting feature. At each
drill the campers silently watch the
mighty streams OF light illuminate
the heavens or the dark waters Of
Hampton Roads, now following some
bay steamer along her course or sig
nal the other lights
Many of the campers are devotees
OF Sir Isaac Walton. Ono party made
a record catch of lS2 in an hour very
recently.

STUDENTS DOING
EXCELLENT .||: WORK
ENROLMENT AT FARMVILLE Is
ALSO LARGER THAN ANY
PREVIOUS YEAR

FARMVILLE. VA. July 2e.-The
summer school students have done
most excellent work this year: an
earnest set of teachers who are striv-
ing to get as much benefit as possible
out of the various courses offered. The
enrolment has reached a total of
$50. more than have ever been regis
tered before in the summer school
On Friday evening, July 18th, Mr..
Karl Jansen gave an entertainment in
the auditorium which was much en-
ioyed by the students; he gave a short
talk on Swedish gymnastics and cor
receive work and made up the rest of
his program with Rotations, descrip-
tons of sports in his native Norway,
etc.
On the evening Of the 2sth instant
the Prince Edward branch OF the
Normal league gave a concert in the
auditorium under the direction Of Mrs.
Elsa Schemmel Schmidt. director of
the Farmville Conservatory of Music
The program was rendered by local
talent and was a most creditable one.
After the performance those taking
part on the program and the members
of the summer school faculty were en-
tertained in the parlors of the school
where refreshments were served by
the home department. The occasion
was most enjoyable one and the pro-
ceeds OF the concert go towards as
sistinE some Prince Edward county
girl who could not otherwise obtain
her training for the work of teach

EmpIoye Badly Injured at Mill

w. w. Hatmaker an employee at
the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. met with
a serious and painful accident last Sat
urday about five o'clock when he
slipped and fell, his right leg getting
caught in an endless chain. He was
dragged for quite a distance before he
was finally extricated by his fellow
workmen. On examination it was found
that his leg was broken in several
places besides being badly lacerated.
Drs. Hoxsey and judah dressed the
wound after which he was sent to the
Wenatchee-Chelan hospital in Wenat-
chez. 1t was thought for time that
it would be necessary to amputate the
leg but II is believed now that it can
be saved. The injured man is in the
Wenatchee hospital and is reported to
be doing well.

Must Prepay Freight on Fruit

Fruitgrowers throughout the north
west are being notified by transporta-
ton companies that hereafter no fruit
shipments will be forwarded unless the
freight is paid in advance or guaran-
teed by some responsible person or
bank.
The action Of the railroad companies
is brought about, it is said, by the fact
that during the past season large
amounts of fruits did not bring enough
on the market to pay the expense Of
The grower did not feel like digging
down into his pockets ior the amount
of the freight bill, in view Of the fact
that he had received nothing for his
fruit, and the commission men felt no
obligation toward the railroad com
panies, so the roads lost out all around.
They will take no chances the coming
season.

FRONT STREET TO HAVE
ANOTHER BRICK BLOCK
Paul Weigand and W. {. Roach Will
Likely Begin Work on New Build
ing in Few Weeks

According to report given out yes
terday work will soon commence on
another brick block on Front street, to
be erected, on the lot adjoining the
Barclay building, by Paul Weigand
and VIM. Roach. Some time ago
Messrs. Weigand and Roach purchased
an interest in the wall Of the Barclay
building, but it was not known until
this week that they were planning the
erection of building this summer.
The building will be two stories in
height and probably three, the ground
floor to be occupied by Roach Bros
harness and shoe store and the upper
floors made into lodge rooms. Just
when the work will be started has not
been given out but it is believed that
it will be at an early date.

It Happened on tuesday

What might be classed as a miracle
occurred Tuesday afternoon near the
Teavenworth Lumber Co.'S mill, when
log coming down the long chute nom
near the top Of the mountain struck a
cow who had straddled the chute and
threw her some twenty feet in the air.
After striking the ground she lay for a
taw moments to recover her wind
which had been so suddenly taken
from her, and then got up and walked
away as though nothing had happened.
The speed with which the logs come
down the incline is enough to drive a
hole thru a brick wall or knock 1900
Mallet off the track, yet it didn't taze
Miss Cow. Beat that if you can.

Work on Red Mountain Road

A. o. Nuetzel returned from Red
mountains and reports the streams un-
usually high and the road and bridges
in bad condition, but says that when
he and other parties who have under
taken to do road and bridge work have
completed the work contemplated the
Red Mountain road will be in good
shape. Mr.. Nuetzel, with the assist
ance of Mr.. Atkinson and Mr.. Lozier,
has completed a substantial bridge at
the Rock Creek ford and will also
bridge the second Rock Creek ford
and the lower ford OF the Chewawa
river. and do road..work between these
two points. The forest service is
building new bridges and doing all
necessary road work as far as Rock
Creek. These Improvements will
make the Red Mountain road one oil
the best mountain roads in the county.

Important Witness Has Disappeared

Does anyone know the Whereabouts
of R. c. Clark II so they should no.
tify Prosecuting Attorney Sorensen.
1t will be remembered that Clark
raised considerable disturbance here
about month ago when he got drunk
and lost his roll OF $3.50. Two other
young companions who were with him
and were alleged to have taken the
money were arrested couple Of days
later in Monroe and since that time
have been confined in the Wenatchee
Jail. Both of the men protested their
innocence at tbs time and only had a
few dollars in their clothes when ap-
pretended. 1t is believed that Clark
went to Portland but nothing has been
heard from him since and it is likely
that criminal action will be dismissed
against the boys.

Jumps From Boat Into Columbia

NJ. McMath, a deckhand on the
steamer Okanogan, committed suicide
Monday morning by jumping into the
Columbia river. The boat was on the
down trip and was only few miles out
of Wenatchee. McMath was long
shoreman, who came over from Seat
tie several days ago and got place
with the C. & o. Steamboat company.
This was his first trip up river. Engi-
neer Ben Parish happened to look up
Just as McGrath went out on the guard
of the engine room and followed him,
arriving just in time to see him jump.
The boat was stopped at once and a
life-boat launched. The man was lost
in the swift current before the boat
could reach him.

New Telephone Rates

A new change in long-distance tel
ephone rates will go into effect
Throughout the State on July 10, un-
less complaints are filed before that
time. These air line' tariffs for
long-distance telephone calls charge e
one-half cent per mile per minute for
conversation, with a fixed Scent ter
minal charge, Scent differential and
so per cent of the original rate added
for each conversation each minute.
The Bell telephone system has already
fled its new tariff sheets with the pub
lie service commission. Since every
community in the state is interested,
many complaints are expected after the
commission has informed different sec
tions whether the rates are to be
higher or lower than at present. To
determine the reasonableness OF the
rates a complete valuation of all the
telephone properties will have to be
made.

NOVEL SCHEME WHEREBY
JAP BUYS ROOMING HOUSE
Miss Mary RaIstOn Sells Clifford House
to 0. Namba For $50OO-Has Four
Years to Pay Entire Sum

To evade the law forbidding alien
ownership of land within this state, O.
Namba, Jap of this city has taken
advantage of a novel plan, says the
Wenatchee World. A contract was
filed by him with the Chelan county
auditor Saturday morning. 1t records
an agreement between Miss Mary Raj
ston, spinster, and o. Namba, whereby
she sells to the Jap lot eleven OF Raj
ston addition to Leavenworth better
known as the Clifford house for con-
sideration of $4,000. Namba paid
$500 down, the balance to be paid
in installments. No deed is to be
delivered until the contract shall have
been consummated in May, 1917.
Nothing in the law forbids an alien
from entering into contract for the
purchase of property; only he may
have his title taken away by the state;
but if he has not yet acquired title, 1t
cannot be taken from him. Namba
says he figures on selling the Leaven-
worth lot before his contract natures
in 1917. The deed lies in escrow in
the bank. The law distinctly protects
from beclouded title because Of the
transaction. The worst thing that can
happen is that Namba may be unable
to sell at a profit before 1917. If he
then accepts the deed, he is still safe
until the state itself begins action. No
private citizen can attack him or his
property. If the state prosecutes, then
he loses the land to the state. No in
dividual can profit. L. J. Nelson is
the attorney who drew up the Ralston-
Namba contract.
A Wenatchee Jap bought some fruit
land in east Wenatchee several years
ago. When the illegality was learned,
he was helped out by two local busi-
ness men who are holding the title in
their own name. He has no protec-
ton but their honesty.

ELKS GO TO WENATCHEE
INITIATE NEW MEMBERS
Six Autos Convey Members to WenatChee
to Take in Big DOings-FiYe New
Members From Here

Tuesday night was a big night for
those who are termed as the best
People on Earth" and probably night
that will never be forgotten by five
gentlemen from this city who were in
itiated into the mysteries of the Elk
brotherhood. Out of the twelve can
didates who run the gauntlet five were
from Leavenworth, namely F. C..
Riggs, NJ. A. Marley, S. A. Burce,
Harry Wall, and Mr.. Barrett. For
several days previous to the initiation
the above parties have been subject to
considerable joshing as to what was
going to happen to them, but with the
exception of little dropping of the
eye lid no trace Of the terrible ordeal
through which they must have passed
could be found on their return We'd
nesday morning. The Wenatchee
lodge voted to call the event Leaven-
worth Night" and it doesn't take much
Of an Imagination to picture what a
bunch of Wenatcheeites would do to a
Leavenworth candidate, despite the
fact that the newly made Elks will
tell you confidently that they were
treated in the most kindly manner.
About twenty-five Elks all Of whose
names we were unable to learn at
tended the meeting from here. The
party was taken to the county seat in
the autos of R. B. Fields, Guy Ham
ilton, Chas. Fox, Ed. Tholin, o. S.
Sampson and ]. B. Adams. Elks
from all over North Central Washing
ton were in attendance at the meeting.
The Leavenworth party arrived home
at a. m.

Cashmere Marshall Arrested

On a charge of giving liquor to an
Indian two months ago, William Less
niger, marshal at Cashmere, was ar
rested in that city last Friday on war
rant issued by Prosecuting Attorney
Sorenson. The marshal was confined
in the county Jail for several days but
is now released on $500 bail. Lessin-
ger admits giving liquor to the Indian,
who was at the time confined in the
Cashmere Jail, but says the redskin
was very sick at the time and it was
given for medicinal purposes. Less
niger is well known in Cashmere, be-
ing the son of George Lessinger, a
pioneer in the valley.

Polly of the Circus at Scenic Theatre

On next Monday evening June 80
Mrs. Vera Dayton Cook will give
reading of the we'll known play Polly
Of the Circus at the Scenic Theater.
Mrs. Cook has received some very
complimentary notices Of her work at
different places where she has been
and the presentation Of Monday night
will no doubt be quite a treat to many
theatergoers.
The Snohomish papers stated Mrs.
Cook scored a complete success in her
first appearance here and her hearers
are prophesying great future for her.
Miss Sarah Andrews Thornton Of
Everett writes, Il have received the
congratulations of many Everett peo-
pie who listened to the fine presen-
tation OF Polly of the Circus, by my
pupil Mrs. Vera Dayton Cook. Her
work always pleases Everett audi
ences."
Varney M. Shumaker, principal OF
the Skykomish schools says, the best
number in the Lyceum course main
tanned this year by the Skykomish
High school was the reading from the
Virginian, given by Mrs. Vera Dayton
Cook.

DOG TAXES SHOULD
BE PAID AT ONCE
Every rersOn Who Keeps a Dog Must
Pay a Tax Even Though it Never
Leaves His Premises

Do you own a dog7 Do you pay
his license Probably not. We ven
ture to say there is at least a hundred
CANNES in Leavenworth most of which
have no other home apparently than
the street whose license is not paid.
A good dog is alright, but good dog
sometimes becomes bad dog and to-
gether with bunch of ours such as
can be seen on the street most any
hour OF the day, impels US to say that
they are becoming a nuisance. Other
cities and towns thruout the state are
insisting on the payment of the dog
tax and it is matter that should not
be overlooked in this city, even if the
council has to appoint dog catcher
and allow him fee on every dog he
takes to the pound. The city ordi-
nance backed by the state law is quite
drastic and permits municipalities to
sue dog owners who do not pay their
license fee, whether the dogs are on
the street or kept in private yards. 1t
is up to the people to get busy and
pay their license or they are liable to
arreet

SNOHOMISH COUNTY TO
HELP SCENIC HIGHWAY
five Miles of Road to be Built in That
County Which Will Cost
$35,000

From all indications now the Scenic
will be open for travel next
year, a writer in the Index-News says:
Snohomish county, with only about
S miles to build at an estimated cost
of SIS, 900, has given assurance time
and again that her portion would be
ready when the others were. So that
1914 will see the completion of a pub
lie highway which will bring more dol
lars into the Puget Sound country than
the big red apple will into Chelan
county; road that will some day be
noted wherever roads are known as
one of the greatest scenic highways in
the United States, if not in the world;
a road which can be travelled from 6 to
7 months in the year over its highest
portion, and which will have con-
tinuous stream OF travellers from the
Atlantic ocean to Puget Sound; will in
the near future be one of the greatest
assets the Northwestern Pacific coast
has. Numbers of mountain homes will
be built by people from the Puget
Sound cities once the region is avail
able and great prosperity is bound to
come to every town on the road when
ever it is completed.

CITY WATER SYSTEM
ACCEPTED BY COUNCIL
Contractors will Keep Their Eyes Open
for Leaks for the Next Two Weeks
More Extension of Mains

The last estimate on the city water
system amounting to $10,o47.47 be-
ing accepted at the council meeting
last week motion was made Tuesday
evening that the city take over the
system. After some discussion the
council agreed to accept the system
conditioned that the contractors en-
ploy man for the next two weeks to
be on the lookout for leaks and breaks
in the pipe.
The supply pipe which runs along
the county road near the Briskey place
was slightly damaged by the high wa
ter of the past two weeks, but is now
being repaired by the contractors.
A petition from a number of the
property owners in Miller's and Fox's
addition was presented asking that the
water mains be extended into their
districts. The petition was granted
and the water commissioner instructed
to lay the pipe as soon as convenient.
E. L. Potter who asked permission
of the Council last week to operate a
skating rink on the lots opposite the
old Thomas Store building presented a
petition carrying the names of num-
Der of residents in that locality and on
motion was granted license.
Two propositions for the purchase
OF typewriter for the city clerk were
presented to the council, one by a
representative of the Remington type
writer Co. and by Engineer Mitchell
who had a second hand machine which
he would sell to the city for $50. The
matter was turned over to committee
to investigate the two machines, with
power to act.
A communication was on hand ask
ing that the name, the Leavenworth
Land Co. addition be changed to
Fox's Addition. The request was
granted.
An ordinance providing for the in
spection of all electrical wiring done
in the city was passed at this meeting
and appears elsewhere in this paper.
An ordinance raising the salary OF the
CITY Treasurer from $25 to $50 was
also passed at this time. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Koerner, city treasurer
will turn over SIS a month to city
clerk Potter for taking care OF the wa
ter collections.
