Goldini again; all her love was dead
A gray-haired woman was clasping
her to her breast. The girl looked
into her, face a full minute before she
realized who this was.
20, motherp' she sobbed. 90, take
me away, take me away"
Through the silent crowd the gray
haired, black-bOnneted woman led
the girl in the short skirt with the
spangles.

CROOKED HEELS ARE CAUSE OF
FRAZZLED NERVES
''Down-at-the-heeT' shoes don't
cause all the headaches women are
heir to, but it's responsible for a great
many of them, and for many a case
of frazzled nerves.
The relation between the turnover
heel and the splitting head" is easy
to trace. When the heel turns" the
body turns with it, and in that lop-
sided position it throws delicately
balanced internal organs out of place
and adds to the trouble by putting
pressure on a whole army of nerves.
The natural result is a headache, and
aches in the body, too.
1t costs about 10 cents to have a
turnover heel Strengthened, but it
costs more than you can reckon in
dollars and cents to have headaches
and sideaches and frazzled nerves.
NO REST FOR THE WEARY
We do wish people would let us
alone. Every time we go to sleep on
the road some gilly comes along and
toots his automobile horn to wake

.SEALFR OF WEIGHTS
AND MEASURES HERE
Found Conditions GOOd-Very Slight
Corrections in Scales Required

A. A. Bosquet, Of Wenatchee, Dep
uty Sealer of Weights and Measures,
arrived here the first of the week and
has been putting in his time check
ing up the scales OF the business
men of Leavenworth, and incidentally
as part of his duty examining the COM
modities sold by the merchants to see
that all goods sold are up to standard.
In conversation with Mr.. Bosquet yes
terday he said he found the scales in
use among the business houses in fairly
good condition and needing very little
correction. Indeed as often wrong in
giving overweight as underweight. He
says he has not made full examina-
ton of all the commodities offered for
sale but does not apprehend much
cause for adverse comment on this

ACCIDENTS THAT RESULT
FROM RAILROAD CROSSINGS
Statistics Show That Only | 1-2 per
Cent of Auto Accidents Occur on
Railroad Crossings

While actual statistics show that
only one and one-half per cent of au-
tomobile accidents occur at railway
crossings, nevertheless this one and
one-half per cent is so large that auto
mobile associations are cooperating
with the railroads to minimize the num-
Der and bring about a greater exercise
of care on the part of pedestrians and
drivers OF motor vehicles. In making
an effort to ascertain wherein the re-
sponsibiity for crossing accidents
might rest, some observations were re-
Gently made by one Of the railroads
with Offices in San Francisco, and the
statement of the results, involving 16,-
522 motor vehicles, 4246 teams and
4528 pedestrians shows that 90 per
cent of the drivers of motor vehicles
took no precautions whatever to pre-
vent being struck at crossings, 81 per
cent passing at high rate of speed.
1t is pointed out by railway officials
that the millions necessary for added
grade protection would levy an extra
toll on the rates paid by passengers
and by shippers There would be less
necessity for this if more precautions
were taken by drivers and pedestrians
at the crossings.
The observations were made in San
Francisco, Lodi, Stockton, Oakland
and Sacramento. The total of the Pc
destrians and drivers of teams and mo-
tor vehicles who crossed during the
period OF observation, was Is, 5,2o6. OF
this number IS stopped and looked in
both directions before crossing; 1850
kept moving and looked in both direc-
tions; 1894 kept moving and looked in
one way only and 14,617 kept moving
and looked straight ahead.

CASHMERE WILL GRANT FRANCHISE
LYMAN Harris Believes lie Can Promote
Building of Valley Electric Line

''Our plans are maturing nicely in
the way of financing the electric line
for the Wenatchee Valley" said Pro-
moter Hyman Harris Tuesday morning
in Wenatchee. I'VE have been de-
layed in getting our franchise at Cash
mere, but believe that the ordinance
as revised will be satisfactory to our
selves and to the city, and will be
passed at the next meeting. After
this franchise is passed think that
we will be able to let the public into
our confidence little bit regarding the
route and plans for the line which We
expect will be built from Leavenworth
to Colockum.

good base ball towns and it will be an
easy matter to get crowds large en-
ough to take care OF expenses. En-

Max Kringle Recalls a Chilly Night

Speaking about cold weather says
Max Kringle, one Of the old timers in
this city, ach nein" we don't have il
any more. Kringle has experienced
some cold weather in the past, having
made several trips into the antarctic
zone region, but the lowest, he says
he ever saw the thermometer go in
Leavenworth was in the winter Of 1896,
seventeen years ago, when on New
Years night the mercury dropped to
% below.
Say that was some chilly night says
Max, and oh how we'll l remember it.
l was living in the Chumstick valley at
that time near the old Graham place,
and on this night, I played for dance
in an old school house almost mile
from home. Well, when the dance
broke up, it was up to my wife and
to walk home as we had brought no
conveyance. There was three feet OF
fresh fallen snow to plough thru, and
you can just bet we had an awful time.
We finally got home alright, but both
suffered from the effects of that trip
for weeks afterwards, 'ach nein' ne
yer again for me.

ASSESSOR WANTS TO
MEET THE TAXPAYERS
Meeting Called for Next Wednesday Ev-
ening in the old Club
Rooms

Whereas this is the year in which
the real property OF the county must
be assessed I wish to meet as many OF
the taxpayers as possible and to take
up with them the different features Of
the new assessment and to have their
help in arriving at the actual value OF
all classes of land in the Leavenworth
country. I wish to impress the tax
payer with the importance Of the work
to be done this year in making the
assessment as it will affect every tax
payer and if done properly at this time
will be of lasting benefit both to the
taxpayer and to the Office of the
County Assessor. I propose to have
the help Of the people of every dis
trict of the county in arriving at
the actual value of all classes OF
property as they from their know
ledge of local conditions can best
Judge as to values. We have arrived
at the time when the spirit OF specula-
ton has been eliminated to a great ex-
tent from land value and true value
can be ascertained. I urgently re-
quest every Taxpayer to be present at
this meeting to discuss the coming as
sessment and to help in the appoint
ment of a committee to work with my
sell in gathering the necessary data to
arrive at real values.
The meeting is called for 8 p. m.

WenatChee Loses to LeayenwOrth

With the motto Never quit" our
high school boys took the fast aggre-
CATION from Wenatchee through forty
minutes of basket ball that showed real
class at all times, last Monday evening.
The local team took the tip off,
in a rush, and while the game was
close and fast they were always mas
ter of the situation. The boys are to
be commended on the spirit Of clean
sportsmanship they have shown in all
games. Always ready to play the
game without trying to grand stand''
they are working together like vet
erans. From bunch Of raw recruits
they are developing into a team that
will make the state champions ner-
vous crew until they are disposed OF.
A comparison of the records of Bas-
ket Ball in the west GENITAL district oi
the state for the present year would in
dicate that the trip to Pullman, next
month, for the state tournament now
lies between Cashmere and Leaven-
worth. Leavenworth will play Cash
mere on their court next Monday night.
The score ended Leavenworth 80,
Wenatchee, 25.

State News Items

Advices received this week by Gov
ernor Lister from Senator Jones are TO
the effect that immediate action may
be expected from congress to provide
a means for the direct election of
United States senators, and that an
extra session Of the legislature for this
purpose probably will be unnecessary,
thus confirming what has long been
the opinion of the governor.
A ballot the size of bedsheet is in
prospect for Washington voters at the
next general election if initiative mea-
sures keep piling in at the present rate.
Last week witnessed the filing of seven
measures by a combination of labor
men, the grange and farmers unions,
making the total number filed IL, in
cluding two Implications. Several
other proposed measures are to be filed
later. The measures filed so far pro-
vide for everything from statewide pro-
hibition TO the licensing Of six varieties
Of practitioners not now provided for
under the medical laws.
