CASHMERE WOMAN GIVEN
WOhfN'S FEDERATION OFFICE
Mrs. O. M. Brooks Elected Trustee at
Raymond Meeting Last thursday

The eighteenth annual meeting OF
the State Federation of Women's Clubs
came to an end with the singing of the
club song Blessed be the Tie that
Binds.
Mrs Brooks, of Cashmere, who was
elected one of the trustees, is a sister
of Mrs. Harry Krollpfeiffer of this city.
Among the advanced theories en-
dorsed by the federation we found the
following which will be read with
interest by the women of this town:
Prohibition of the use of birds for
millinery purposes was one of the
measures recommended by the report
of the committee on resolutions, given
by Mrs. c. c. Brown of Everett, its
chairman. Others were the planting
of shade trees on public highways, that
all trees, shrubs and vines planted be
indigenous, and the protection of mi
gratory and insectivorous birds. The
report also endorsed the projected
women's building at the University Of
Washington. and state appropriations
for agricultural and economic work for
women, and urged severer punishment
for social evils.
Resolutions were adopted urging
congress to revise the naturalization
law so that the legal status of women
will be unaffected by that of their hus-
bands; that The Star Spangled Ban
ner' be considered the national air; and
that the federation support state and
national prohibition of the liquor traffic
and establish vocational training it the
public schools throughout the state.

AUTOMOBILE OWNERS
FORM ORGANIZATION
viii Boost for Better Roads, Stand for
Better Protection and Work to
Prevent Accidents

What is destined to mark new era
in the development OF the good roads
movement in this state is the organiza-
ton of the Washington State Automo-
bile Association, which will be afil-
lated with the Automobile Association
OF America. The new organization
will boost for good roads, work for leg
islation that will be fair to both auto
mobile owners and non-owners and for
the general protection of the motorists
intesest. Chairman A. G. Bachelor,
Of the executive board Of the A. A. A.
in stating the necessity for the forma-
ton of the association, said: En-
ploYing vehicle which has within its
capacity a wide range of activity, we
frequently find ourselves seeking roads
that only encourage long distance
travel. The motorists, however, know
that nowadays centers of population
must be connected by roads and invar-
iably such main arteries serve the most
prosperous farm country and must bear
the great burden of traffic which ac-
cummulates from the equally essential
but less important tributary veins of
communication. The new organiza-
ton will start with a membership we'll
up in the thousands.

MILLIONS OF TROUT FOR
CHFLAN co. STREAMS
New Fish Hatchery Will Add Over Two
Million Trout to Nearby Streams
Zach Year

That Chelan county streams will
prove popular among fisherman for
many years to come and that they will
always be sure of good catch is the
belief of Game Commissioner Scheble.
The building of the new fish hatchery
in this city at a cost of more than
$4,000 will mean that there will be
approximately 100000 trout fry dis
tributed among Chelan county streams
each year. The hatchery was built
jointly by the state and county but
the law provides that half of the out
put goes to the county. This. it is
believed, will always insure good fish
ing in this locality.
At the present time the fishing is
reported to be very good in all the
nearby streams. The Chewawa and
Wenatchee rivers and Lake Wenatchee
are favorite spots for the disciples of
Isaac Walton as they can all be reached
by automobiles. If one is looking for
a more strenuous trip they should take
a trip up the Icicle river where trout
are always plentiful.
Game Commissioner Scheble has in
formation that fishermen are finding
good sport this year in Fish Lake a
mile and half from Lake Wenatchee.
Some five years ago this lake was
stocked with black bass and perch, but
until this year there have been little
returns from the fish planted. This
year it is stated that the perch fishing
is especially good.

Chelan sportsmen who have deemed
it necessary to buy rights to fish and
hunt during the season Of 1914 out
number the 1918 contingent by 625,
says the Wenatchee World. From all
indications the receipts at the audi
tors office will show large increase
over those of 1918. The fines are
also running higher than last year,
showing a tendency on the part of the
sports to try and outwit the authorities.
With Inspector Ross Watson on the
job they are getting hard run. Both
fish and game hogs are keeping under
cover, efusing to talk about their
record catches to the stranger appear
ing in their midst.

RED MOUNTAIN ROAD
HAS BEEN IMPROVED
Joe MaSsie Made Needed Repairs Thru
Donations Made by Local Citizens

The Chewawa river and Red Mountain
road which has been so sadly neglected
in the last few years that it had become
almost impossible, especially for auto
mobiles is now once more in fairly good
shape according to Joe Massie.
The county road funds in this dis
trict being exhausted Mr.. Massie took
it upon himself to repair the road. He
was assisted by donations from the
citizens whose names follow and do
mated his own time and labor. Mr..
Massie states that he appreciates the
help given him and saws that all those
who have occasion to use this route
will find it in good shape for automo-
bile travel.
Five days were spent in working on
the road during which time there was
three other men employed besides Mr..
Massie and in addition two teams and
a grader were used. The work began
at the forks OF the Lake Wenatchee
road and continued as far as Rock
creek.
Following are the names of those
who assisted by donations:

TRACK WALKER KILLED
IN TUMWATER CANYON
The Body of John Parsons Found on the
River Bank tuesday MOrning-Has
No Known Relatives

The body Of John Parsons, track
walker for the Great Northern Railway
was found at an early hour Tuesday
morning on the bank OF the river near
the railroad company's power plant
about three miles up the Tumwater
canyon. The gruesop> discovery was
made by James b. IN a lineman.
The mans head lay IN the water and it
is believed that death resulted from
drowning. There was not enough
bruises on the body to indicate that he
had been struck by a train and it is
thought that he probably stumbled and
fell over the embankment, the fall rem
dering him unconscious, after which he
rolled into the river.
Immediately after the discovery Cor
oner May of Wenatchee was notified
and arrived here few hours later. It
was his opinion that the man had been
dead for at least two days. There was
$13 in the pockets of the unfortunate
trackwa,ker and it was afterwards learned
that he had about $40 coming from
the railroad company. The where
abouts of Parsons relatives are not
known and he was buried in the local
cemetery the same day.
The deceased was about As years OF
age and we'll known in this city. He
was known to have a fondness for drink
and it is quite likely that at the time
he met his death be had imbibed to
freely.

A movement has been started in
this state to secure for Seattle the big
1915 encampment of the Grand Army
OF the Republic. The ranks of this
organization are rapidly becoming de-
pleted and it is the desire of Washing
ton citizens to entertain the veterans
before the final opportunity shall have
passed. Puget Sound, with its de-
lightful summer climate, is pointed TO
as the most desirable and logical place
for the encampment. This year the
gathering takes place in Detroit and
last year it was held in Chattanooga.
On account Of the advanced age OF
most OF the veterans the heat of the
eastern and southern cities has always
caused discontinue to the old soldiers
and a number of prostrations have oc-
cured. Such a condition would be
absent if the encampment were held
on Puget Sound.

The State RefOrmatOry

Though the fact may not be gen
orally known, Washington, in the state
reformatory, at Monroe, has a penal
institution with. more inmates placed
upon their honor and trusted to the
fullest extent in comparison to its popu-
lation than any other institution in the
world.
Remarkable changes have been
worked by Donald B. Olson, of Seattle,
highly successful business man with
out any previous experience in such
work, who assumed the superinten-
dency there the first of the present
year. On trips TO Seattle he has ex-
pressed himself as nightly please
with the manner in which the inmates
have taken to the advent of the honor
system and OF the self governing in
fluence for the better that the changed
conditions have stimulated in the in
mate organization, called the Brother
hood. In the new policy Mr.. Olson
has the enthusiastic support Of H. R.
King of Seattle, president of the Board
of Managers and the other members of
the board.

of raising money to build Chelan coun-
tvs portion of the Cascade Scenic
Highway. King county has already
let the contract for fits portion OF the
road and is insisting that the boosters
Of the highway in this county get busy.
At the meeting Saturday an effort will
be made to raise S., 900 which will be

NOTICE TO WATER USERS

AS a precautionary measure I
strongly urge users Of city water to
boil all water intended for drinking
and cooking purposes until further
notice. A change in the source OF
the water supply the past month
made its contamination possible
and l deem it safest to boil all
water intended for drinking pur-
poses. ]. Stillson Judah,

Is In Favor of '.Skookum" Label

Mr.. Reginald H. Parsons, owner oil
the Hillcrest Orchards in the Rogue
River valley, and president of the North
western Fruit Exchange, one OF the
most prominent apple men in the
Northwest, feels that the branded apple
under community arrangement to be
the logical solution of marketing oil
standard grades. A trade name, well
established in the minds OF consumers
and dealers, fixes personality which
carries weight and honesty.
Mr.. Parsons says, 1t has always
seemed to me that the "Skookum'
brand is merely logical stepforward in
putting before the consuming public or
civilized world a definitely marked and
packed product, bearing standard for
excellency in every particular, and by
the use Of different varieties derive the
benefit of great publicity on the part
of the producer and longer consuming
period by the buying public. We
growers in the association fully believe
in the advantages of discarding indi-
vidual or independent brands and hav-
ing a single brand of the association,
for the reason that in this wav compe-
tition of multifarious number individ-
ual brands is done away with to a con-
siderable extent, and by haying a
greater quantity and greater varieties
Of fruit, the brand can receive wider
distribution.
The "Skookum'' label idea is simp-
ly another step along these lines where
different associations can combine and
get more money for advertising and re-
ceive a wider distribution for the pro-
ducts OF the country in which they are
all Joint producers. II, in the iudg-
ment of good growers. they can give
up their pride in their own individual
brand why cannot they give up their
pride in their own local brand and get
the benefit of cooperation Of other
growers in furnishing funds for better
advertising and distribution OF their
wares, competing as we all do in the
markets of the world, and achieve our
purpose by this means at far less ex-
pense and with greater results to our
selves?"
To stop hall way in this work of
pushing our own product would be
shortsighted. 1t can all be worked out
practically and comprehensively if we
work Jointly and with enthusiasm in
advancing our business and refrain from
holding back and giving as little as we
can when we have so much at stake.
Our success in the future can only de-
pend on our ability to grasp the needs
of our conditions and the great neces-
sity of solving them in a logical and
comprehensive way. If We grasp and
accept these cocditions and work them
out with energy and foresight, we will
succeed; if we fail to treat our busi-
ness as big business, we will suffer.

The revolt among the members oil
the Western Federation OF Miners, at
Butte, Montana. against repeated as
sessments to maintain unsuccessful
strikes in Michigan and Colorado, has
caused the general public TO wonder
what has been done with all the money
thus collected. That it is used for the
personal benefit of the agitators who
caused all the trouble while they were
exploiting union labor, may be seen
from the issue of April 4, 1914, of the
Trinidad (Colorado) Chronicle News
in its account OF the amounts received
by the starving leaders:
Frank ]. Hayes only received
s4,052.o2 in salary and 81, ,667.20 for
expenses for nine weeks period end
ing November 80, 1913. John P.
White only received $6,286,43 in sal
airy and 50, 2,286.43 for expenses; John
McLennan received 50, 2,683.55 in sal

That 100000 900 worth OF capital
for the development of Alaska will be
spent within the next year and that in
ten years the population Of that terri
tory will have reached 100000, is the
opinion of D. A. Mckenzie, mining
man of Cordova, who has just returned
from the national capital, where he
added his efforts to the work for the
passage of the Alaska railroad bill last
winter. He believes the agricultural
possibilities Of the north will, after the

THAN 100000 MEN
Forty-fourth Anniversary
of Entry Into Rome
Celebrated.

Rome. Sept 20.-Italy already has
more than half million men under
arms. The best of these troops are III
camps and barracks in the Lombsrdy
and Venetian provinces.
The forty-fourth anniversary OF the
entry of Italians into Rome was cele-
brated to-day with a programme or
ganized by the municipality. The usual
procession to the po ut where the open
ing was made in the walls of the city,
was arranged, but as the route passes
the British Embassy the government
took measures to prevent war demon
stration.
The democratic Constitutional party
held a meeting and adopted resolutions
saving that the manifestations Of de-
mocracy indicate to the government
the enthusiasm of the people for the
time when the national aspirations
NAV be realized, but expressing the
opinion that the public should leave to
the government the determination or
Italy's final attitude toward the inter
national conflict.
The resolution adds that /. is hoped
that the governments decision will
lead to the triumph of those sent
ments of national democracy from
which alone Europe can obtain an
epoch Cf social peace.
