died in half an hour. The parties
gave themselves up.-Cortez Journal.

Kills Coyote With Auto

w. A. Nelson, a rancher from the
White River valley who was in town
the first of the week tells of an un-
usual experience while on his way
home last Friday evening. He was
within about three miles Of his place,
when he noticed what he first took to
be a dog running ahead of his machine.
Thinking it rather odd he speeded up
bit, and to his surprise found it to be
coyote. The animal evidently
blinded by the light refused to leave
the road and the sudden burst Of speed
was too quick for the coyote, with
the result that two wheels of the car
passed over it. Nelson says he has
skinned the animal and the next time
he goes to Wenatchee will collect a
dollar from the county auditor, which
sum is the bounty paid for the killing
of coyotes.

Where Quality Rates Higher Than Prices

The policy of Sharman & Gangler is
not to meet competition with cheap
goods and cheap prices, but the best
goods at fair price. Our experience
is that inferior goods and poor goods
rarely give satisfaction 10 the pur-
chaser. even tho they were cheap.
From this class Of goods men 60 away
and say, 1T was cheap, but it was ill
fitting and looked bad after 1 wore it a
few times"
We would much rather our Gus
toners would say, The price was
stiff, but it looked good as long as I
wore it. I got my moneys worth,
in looks and good service"
When we sell a man goods and he
is satisfied with the fit, and the wear
ing quality we believe he will come
back, but if a man buys something
that proved unsatisfactory, even tho it
was cheap, the next time he wants
cheap stuff he will 60 to some other
place and see if he can't get goods
that will give satisfaction at lair
price. We handle Hart, Schaffner &
Mark clothing, the worlds standard

Mallory hats, Duchess guaranteed

LOCAL MASONS HAVE
FINE LODGE ROOMS
Building Erected Past Year Represents
an Investment of Between $4,000
and $1,000

T h e building was
erected by the Masonic lodge of this
city and represents an investment Of
between $4,000 and $1,000. The
structure which was built under the
direction OF Louis F. Speidel, local
contractor is two story and is an addi-
ton of which Leavenworth may justly
be proud as there are few cities of
this size in the Northwest that can
boast OF an institution OF this charac
ter.
The upper floor will be used by the
Mason's exclusively for their lodge
rooms, while the ground floor will ul-
timately be made into a Masonic Club
room. The building is very artistically
designed on he in,id as we'll as the
outside and is modern and convenient
in every respect. 1t is the intention
of the members to grade the grounds,
SOW lawn and set out shade trees
this fall, and within a very few years,
the place will be one of the beauty
spots on the North Side.
The Masons of Leavenworth feel
very proud of their achievement and
when one stops to think that the bull
ding was erected without any outside
help, other than from members of the
fraternity, they are to be congratulated.
The temple was built by day labor,
superintendent by Mr.. Speidel and
during its construction every member
found the time to work few days each
week himself, and if unable to do SO,
hired man to work in his place.
Practically all of the material was Sc
cured at cost which shows the pro-
gressiYeness as well as the interest and
enthusiasm taken in the building by
the Masons of this city. The dedica-
ton of the building will occur some
time next month at which time prom
inent members OF the grand lodge will
be here to participate in the ceremony,
which promises to be a very brilliant
affair."
Zarthan Lodge, No. 148, A. F. &
A. M. of this city was organized in
the spring of 1905, and was granted
dispensation by the grand lodge June
80, 1905. The following were the
charter members. ]. ]. King, F. A.

War Still the Absorbing Topic

The great European war has been in
progress forty days. The sickening
details of the awful tragedy cover the
pages of the daily press. For the past
three or four days the news has seemed
to indicate the success of the allies,
France, England and Russia. Germany
set such furious pace that her own
armies are breaking down under the
strain.
The human slaughter has progressed
far enough to form a pretty sure idea
of the way it will end In the begin
ming it was our judgment that Germany
and Austria would be beaten. Now
we are constrained to qualify that judg-
ment, and say, had Germany secured
free and prompt passage thru Inflated
Belgium she would have whipped the
whole of Europe to a stand still. She
would have been in possession of the
city of Paris two weeks ago, and would
long since have turned her incompar-
able war machine against Russia. Being
detained two weeks, or more, by those
heroic descenants of the Walloon French
and Flemish Dutch will be declared by
future historians of the war to be the
turning point in the great struggle, and
attempting to go thru Belgium the fatal
blunder in the German war policy
The one feature of the outcome that
we do not relish is the fact that when
the final settlement comes Russia will
be in possession of large part of the
German territory and will be in posi-
ton to exert preponderating influence
in defining geographical lines and the
size of war indemnities when settling
I'D day comes. This, to our way OF
reasoning is to be regretted. German
influence on civilization is preferable to
Russian.
The war has already demonstrated
that Germany was relying on broken
reed when she expected help from the
Austrians. Austrian soldiers and gen
erals have shown no capacity to deal
with Russia.
We still believe the war will come
to an end before the closing of the
year. Already are signs on the war
horizon indicating that somebody wants
help to let go, as the boy said when he
caught the wild cat. Even the Ger
man war fervor has abated somewhat.
While there has been no great de-
cisive battle there have been many
sanguinary encounters, and the fight
ing has been continuous. There is
limit to human endurance and the
German soldiers seem about to have
reached point where they have lost
much of their efficiency. They are
not near so cockey and reckless as
they were in the beginning.
II the war shall come to an end be-
fore winter sets in a lot of suffering
will be avoided and the entire world
will say, Amen.

Something to Hope For.

Have something to hope for.
You may be poor.
You may be weary and obscure.
You may be old or blind or lame.
Chance may have robbed you OF your
rights,
You may not ever proudly claim
A place upon the cleaning heights,
But you may have such Joy as springs
Within the breast of him who thrives,
The pride that fair achievement brings,
II hope within your heart survives.
Have something to hope for.
You may behold
A cleaning crown of gems and gold
You may have dreamed Of glory which
The future has reserved for you.
In pleasing fancy, proud and ricn.
You may be of the splendid few.
Send forth a ship. select goal,
Set out a shrub or plant a seed
Keep some fair purpose In your SOUL
Let hope have food on which to iced
Have something to hope for.
