Invention by Cashmere Man

Nate Shotwell, an old time resident
OF Cashmere, recently patented a fruit
box marker that has proved veritable
boon to apple raisers. 1t is very
simple and inexpensive affair and at
taches to the box mailing machine.
After the top is nailed on the box, by
very simple action the box is stamped
with the owners name and number.
With the marker it requires only a
small fraction OF time, whereas when
marked with hand stencil it required
between one and two minutes. Mr.
Shotwell, who by the way, is brother
of Mrs. H. G. Krollpfeifer, will arrange
with an eastern firm to put the inven-
ton on the market, and already num-
her of fruit growers have signifed their
intention to use it.

CRACKSMEN BLOW SAFE
IN MONITOR POSTOFFICE
$500 in Money and $500 in Stamps
Taken-Thought to be Gang That
Robbed Cashmere Depot

The Monitor postoffice was robbed
Monday night by experienced cracks
men. The small safe was rolled out of
the room occupied by the postoffice
into shed, covered with a bed mat
tress and sacks Of sugar and dynamited
with nitry-glycerine. The front door
was blown off in workmanlike manner
and 500 in cash and between $500
and $400 in stamps was taken.
Postmaster Mckee, who handles
Uncle Sans business in small frame
building adjoining the Big Department
store, discovered the robbery about
o'clock in the morning when he en-
tered the building to make up the mail
for train No. A.
Monday night between 10 and II
o'clock, two men who were asleep in
tent at the rear of the building heard a
muffied sound which awoke them.
They attributed it either to thunder or
10 an automobile but until this morning
never thought Of it being caused by
burglars. Sheriff Kenyon was notified
and made trip to Monitor Tuesday
morning. He pronounced the work as
that OF experienced yegmen. He be-
lieves it is the work of the same robbers
who held up the Cashmere depot last
Friday night and for which the sheriff's
office and Great Northern detectives
are now seeking clues.
Early this fall a yegman who has
served three terms in the penitentiary
and at Monroe for cracking safes, was
seen here by Great Northern detec-
tive. The ex-convict told the officer
he was going to Cashmere to pick
apples this fall. The robbers at Cash
mere left some clues on their departure
from the building, including the hand
kerchiefs which masked their faces and
also small electric flash light These
were sold at the Golden Rule store in
Wenatchee and the sheriff has good
description of the man who made the
purchase. The description tallies ex-
actly with the yegman who went to
Cashmere to pick apples. The officers
are now searching for him and they feel
confident he is the man who engineered
both Jobs.

HOLDUP MEN MAKE
BIG HAUL AT CASHMERE
Masked Bandits Get 5000 from Depot
As Yet No Trace of the Men
Has Been Found

Two masked bandits entered the
station of the Great Northern at Cash
mere last Tuesday night about seven
o'clock and covering Agent G. C..
Faskin and Operator Wollcott, took
500 or more in gold and silver, over
looking about 5000 in currency in the
safe. When they left they said: IF
you leave the station we will blow your
heads of"
Agent Faskin was forced to open the
safe, and presented the masked men
with the tin box containing the silver
and gold, which the men took without
further search.
The agent and operator paid little
attention to the threats, but imme-
diately notified the officers. Some ex-
citement was caused as the news spread
and soon many residents surrounded
the station, and here found the masks,
which the men threw away as soon as
they were outside Of the station. One
wore a red bandanna handkerchief and
the other a black mask. Each was
about five feet seven inches tall and
about 20 years old.
The bandits were in the Office less
than five minutes. They came in un-
noticed. 1t is said the office door was
not locked.
Railroad detectives and county auth
critics are still on the lookout for the
men, but as yet no arrests have been
made

REAL GOLD BRICK
FROM BLFWFTT CAMP
Thirteen Ounces From Test Run of IS
TOnS-RiCher Ore in
Sight

F. LeRoi Thurmond, who has had a
lease on the Golden Eagle mining
property and mill for the past year and
a half, brought gold brick down yes
terday and deposited it in the Tumwater
Savings bank for shipment to the U.
S. assay office, Seattle. The brick
weighed about thirteen ounces. Mr..
Thurmond says the brick is the re-
suit of a tank OF thirty-fve tons of ore
which is an average of approximately
SIS per ton. He says also that he has
taken five year lease on the property
and expects to operate the mill until
compelled to close down on account
of freezing weather. The ore out OF
which the run was made is low grade.
The ore in which they are now work
ing shows an assay test OF $25 per ton
so that the next run will show a much
larger gold yield. He is working four
men at present but expects to run the
mill to its full capacity next year.
This was only test run.
The Ridgely property, he says, has
been tangled up in litigation but is
about to be settled so that that prop
erty is expected to enter the produc-
ing stage, and that the outlook for
Blewett never looked better to again
become lively mining camp.

Death of Willie MCNulty

Willie McNulty, the 7-year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael McNulty
died Sunday after an illness of less
than one day. The boy had been out
playing the night before, and did not
complain until about 10 o'clock the
following day when he became sud-
denly i'll. A doctor was summoned,
but his case was puzzllng, and at $50
the same evening the end came. 1t
is now believed that his death was
due to spinal meningitis. Willie was
one OF the oldest children Of Mr. and
Mrs. McNulty and was one OF twins.
He was an exceptionally bright boy
and was the leader in his class at
school. The bereaved parents have
the sympathy OF the entire commun-
ity The funeral services occurred
Tuesday forenoon.
Miss Agnes Brannon, a niece Of
Mrs. McNulty came over from Seattle
the first OF the week to attend the
funeral Of Willie McNultY

Citizens

The city health Office of Leaven-
worth costs the taxpayers 81, 900 a
year.
$1,000 was appropriated to this Office
in 1918.
$1,000 was appropriated in 1914.
$1,000 is now appropriated for 1915.
What have we accomplished?
The natural location of Leavenworth
is beauty spot and it can be made
the most attractive town between Sc
attic and Spokane. This is not outside
the scope Of the health office, because
the first step to be taken in the health
Office is sanitation, and the first step in
sanitation is a garbage wagon which is
the crying need of our town. The
business of the health Office should not
be to wait till epidemic sickness over
takes US and then all clamor at once
for sanitation as did Yakima, but take
time by the fore look and clean our
town up.
Right here I propose the organization
Of Civic league for the purpose Of
making our town beautiful, sanitary
and up-to-date corporation.
II the money appropriated to this
Office is not sufficient ] will donate my
salary as health officer to maintain a
garbage wagon and a clean town.
Yours for a clean town and
more beautiful Leavenworth,
A. Royal McKeown,
Physician,
Candidate for City Health Officer.

LfAvfNWORTH'S CITY CLERK

There are four candidates before
the voters for this important office.
S. A. Potter, the present incumbent,
who has held the Office the past two
terms, Day Reynolds, A. R. Brown
and Mar Patterson. Without urging
serious objection against either OF
the first named three, we believe the
best interests OF all the people will be
served by preferring Mr.. Patterson.
He is by temperament and qualifca-
tions we'll fitted for the place. He is
invariably agreeable and accommodate
ing and if elected promises to spend
four hours every forenoon and after

PROFESSOR BEACH OF THE
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
War Will Aid China and Japan, Increase
Poverty, Crime and Insanity and
Leave Race of WeakIings

The European war will afford the
Mongolian nations the chance for which
they have been looking to free them
selves from European domination, "
said Prof. Walter G. Beach, of the
University Of Washington department
of sociology, last week. 1T will also
tend to make Japan and China import
ant factors in the commercial world, as
they will have ample opportunity to
manufacture and supply the wants now
left unattended.
He says that the war will cause a
weakening of the races, fewer marriages,
a decided decrease in the birth rate,
and an increase OF poverty and crime.
1t will result, he said, in the contin
uance of stock made up Of weaklings
and stay-at-homes. Movements for
social betterment, he avened, are
stopped by war, because the thought
of the people is turned in other direc-
tions.
Insanity the usual result Of wars,
has already begun to show an increase, !"
he declared. Even in this country I
know of two or three cases where minds
have become unbalanced. Intense
mental stimulation proves too much for
certain classes of persons, and develops
criminal instincts.

WASHINGTON IS DRY

On Prohibition measure No. 8 it
appears now that the DrYs have car
ried the state by from $4,000 to 20,-
900. In this city 323 votes were
cast against Initiative measure No. 8
and 258 for, giving the vets major
ity of 65. In Chelan county Also
votes were cast in favor of prohibition
and $500 against, giving the drys a
majority OF 1866. Other states to go
dry besides Washington, were Oregon,
Colorado and Arizona.

REPUBLICAN TICKET
WINS IN CHELAN CO.
Frank Reeves Only Democrat Elected,
Gets 1900 Majority Over J. Roy
Owens, Republican Candidate

With only two exceptions the entire
republican ticket in Chelan county was
elected. Frank Reeves, the demo-
cratic candidate for the Legislature, de.
feated J. Roy Owens, the republican
candidate, by ,462. For county COM
missioner from the second district Matt
Hickey, progressive candidate, appears
to have beaten Joe Massie Of this city
by about 800. Mr.. Massie received
the highest vote in this city given any
candidate. Another one Of the big
surprises in the election was the phe-
nomenal run made by Chas. Harlin,
socialist candidate for sheriff, who lost
by less than 100 votes. The winners
in the election in Chelan county were:
Frank Reeves, legislature.
Chas. Kenyon, sheriff.
Martin Spencer, clerk.
Terry Ross, Auditor.
Chas. E. Buttles, treasurer
Burt J. Williams, attorney.
Joe Johnson assessor.
E. C. Bowersox, superintendent.
Fred Warren, engineer.
Matt Hickey, commissioner.
T. w. Cowan, commissioner.
Wesley L. Jones has been reelected
to the United States Senate, with Judge
Black running second and Ole Hanson
third. For congressman in the Fifth
district c. c. Dill, the democrat, ap-
pears to be in the lead, with Rosen-
haupt, the republican, pressing him
hard. Cookery, the progressive, is
third in the race. Chadwick, Crow
and Holcomb were favored for the
Supreme court bench.
All of the reports received up to last
night indicated that every Initiative
and Referendum measure and the con-
stitutional amendments had failed with
the exception OF Initiative Measures
Nos. 8 and 8. The former is the pro-
hibition measure and the latter the one
abolishing employment Offices. The
Quincy Irrigation project is reported
to have been badly beaten.
