OLE GETS EN- ALL
AT PRIMARY ELECTION
In His Home Precinct Ole Hanson Re-
ceiyed Every First Choice Vote Cast
for U. S. Senator

Ole Hanson, progressive candidate
for the United States senate, received
every first choice vote cast in his home
precinct primary day. Every vote.
What other candidate can show such
record?
A mans character is given the acid
test by his neighbors. They are usu-
ally his harshest critics. If he is not a
big, high-minded man, his neighbors
usually are the ones who know it.
Only once before did Hanson run for
an office. He ran for the legislature
in the Beacon Hill district in 1908.
Out of nearly 1000 votes cast in the
primaries, Hanson secured every vote
but 10. Yes, his neighbors know him
and believe in him.
Hanson has lived a useful, upright
life. A man with an ideal Rooseveltian
family of seven children, man with
ideal public service standards, Hanson
has we'll earned the confidence Of his
neighbors, as we'll as the whole state.

.BLEWFH ROUTE BETTER
THAN CLOCKUM ROAD
Well Known Contractor FdVOrS This
Route For State ROad-SCenery
More Beautiful

Jack Seaman, of Wenatchee, men,
Der of the we'll known contracting firm
of Quigg & Seaman, is back from trip
over the Blewett road to Lake Kee-
chelus, the return trip being made by
the Clockum route, says the Wenatchee
World. There is no question in my
mind as to which is the most feasible
route for the state road" said Mr..
Seaman Monday. with the road in
the present condition we made the trip
from Wenatchee to Lake Keechelus in
about eight hours. We left Wenatchee
at GAS p. m. and besides going to the
Peshastin station we arrived at the sum-
nit at 1880. We reached CleElum
at 1890 and the lake at $3.50 p m.
The altitude at the summit via Blewett
is 4071 feet and the climb is an easy
one until the last mile and half OF the
summit. I am told that the Clockum
route is considerable higher and the
climb is certainly much harder.
The new road built this summer
was from North Bend to Easton. There
is now good road from Seattle to
North Bend and there is a good road
east from Easton.
The route via Blewett would be
delight all of the way and is in great
contrast with the road over the noun
tains via Clockum.
Another thing of some importance
is the fact that water can be found all
along the way by the Blewett route.

Death of a Washington Pioneer

John Siverly died at the home of
his son George Siverly, in the White
river valley Wednesday at 10 p. M.
aged 80 years. Mr. Siverly came to
Washington from Pennsylvania when
this state was territory and made his
home at North Yakima, where the re-
mains will be taken for burial. He
came here last summer in the hope
that a change would do him good and
to visit his sons, two OF whom live in
the White river valley. The imme-
diate cause OF death was a stroke of
paralysis suffered the first Of this week.

FORMER WELL KNOWN CHARACTER
COMMITS SUILIDE IN INDEX, WASH.
Red Headed "OIe," who Lived Here Sey-
eraI Years Ago, Tires of Life
and Hangs Himself

Last Friday night Frank Olsen, who
was known all along the Great North
ern mainline from Seattle to Spokane
as "Ole, the Hobo" committed sui
eide in the town Jail by hanging him
self from the top bars of the cell with
his belt.
Ole had been taken up during the
evening by Marshall Handy to sober
up-an occurance which usually hap
pened several nights each week-and
put in one of the steel cells in the rear
of the town hall. Members OF the In
dex band who were practicing in the
front of the hall state that he seemed
in an unusually happy frame OF mind
during the evening. They left at
about 10 o'clock and Marshal Handy
in making his rounds found Ole's life

called and upon examination found
that he had been dead about forty
minutes.
Deputy Coroner c. H. Bakeman, of
Snohomish, came up on Saturday
noon's train and shipped the body to
Monroe, where it will be held and an
effort made to locate relatives of the
dead man.
Ole had made Index his headquar-
tiers for the past several months and
was we'll known to all the local resi-
dents. It is said that at one time he
was a prosperous hotel keeper at
Hinckley, Minnesota, and that fire
destroyed his property and burned up
his wife and family. That misfortune
drove him to drink and his decline was
rapid. 1t is also said that he recently
fell heir to forty thousand dollars,
which was being held in trust by a

UPPER WENATCHEE VALLEY
FRUIT DRAWS ATTENTION
Verify Our Claim, "The Higher Up the
Valley You Go the Bigger and
Better the Apples Grow"

Almost every business house in Leav
enworth has Upper Wenatchee Valley
apples on exhibition, but the Leaven-
worth Mercantile Company has the
most varied and attractive display in its
grocery window, and the people do
surely stop to look at it, many to
remark that The Echo's is no idle
boast. L. S. Allies, from the Swalwell
ranch, half mile north OF town, has
the largest display, while all are OF the
most sought and highest selling varie-
ties. Among the Allies display are
Stayman Winesap, Black Ben, Winter
Bananas, King David, Delicious, and a
plate of pears that we will put up
against anything in the county for size
and color. Thomas Burke has a Rome
Beauty from his young orchard east OF
town that is as large as Wolfriver
apple. c. A. Anderson has splendid
plate OF Grimes Golden. R. w. Mich
olas, from the Cascade Orchards has
some very fine samples OF Delicious,
Stayman Winesap and Black Bens.
Last, but probably best of all, are those
from the ranch OF c. w. Ellinger, on
the slope just south of town. His
Winter Bananas, Jonathans and Black
Bens are extraordinary. A box of Jona-
thans like those in the window would
capture the sweepstake prize at the
Spokane apple show for color, and size.
They are the largest Jonathans we ever
saw in the Wenatchee Valley. Mr..
Ellinger also has white and blue
grapes on exhibition that we would
like TO see exhibited at the fair.

POST OFFICE OPENED
IN NEW QUARTERS
Office Equal To Any Town of Its Size
In State-New Location More Cen
tral to Business Section

The postal authorities took advantage
of Columbus day and began moving
into the new quarters Saturday evening,
thus having the advantage Of two days
when the Office was not required to be
opened more than an hour each day.
Sundays mail was distributed and
handed out at the new office.
OF course there was some incon-
venience caused by the allotment of
some 500 boxes in the new quarters.
The distribution OF mail was slow be-
cause of unfamiliarity Of the clerks with
location of new boxes. Then all the
boxes had to be lettered with the names
of the owners. Where agreeable the
patrons were given the same numbers
they had in the old office, but the
taking up OF old keys and giving out
new ones took considerable time and
caused some delay. The public, how
ever, took the whole matter good
naturedly and seemed to be we'll pleased
with the effort to give Leavenworth an
p-to-date postal service.
There are 408 boxes 3Ax4R, 8
inches deep; 1872 5Ax5, II inches
deep; 80 6x10H, IA inches deep, and
four very large drawers, or 636 in all,
and 200 more boxes than there were in
the old office. All the boxes are uni
form in style and provided with Yale
lock. There are no call boxes or COM
bination locks.
At present there is ample room for
the transaction OF all business. The
lobby affords plenty OF room for patrons
to get to their boxes. There is stamp
window, general delivery window and
a money order window. Behind the
screen and boxes are all the conven-
fences that any we'll supplied Office in
a town OF this size is usually provided
with. Postmaster Hamilton has for
assistant postmaster Miss Louise David,
and Miss Minnie Sauer, who acts as
clerk, and constitutes the postoffice
force.

Olympia Banker in the Tolls of the Law

w. D. Hayes, cashier of the Olympia
Bank and Trust Co., also mixed up
with the Centralia bank failure in which
former citizen Of Leavenworth lost
considerable money, has been charged
with embezzling $36,550 of the banks
funds in the superior court Of Thurston
county. This sum represents money
subscribed by Hayes for his share of
capital stock. He borrowed money
from the United States National Bank
at Centralia and is said to have applied
the banks funds in payments.

HIGHEST REGISTRATION IN

Tuesday night, I'll voters in Leaven-

in the coming election by enrolling
their names with the city clerk. This
represents the highest registration in
the history of the city. While an cleo

it is more than probable that the com

SERIAL STORY STARTS TO-DAY.
Novel Written by DIR. II. II. Green,
Containing Local Characters,
Will Prove Interesting.

AS announced last week, we begin
today the publication of the serial
story, THE Recognition of Jesse
Badleigh," by Rev. H. H. Green, d.
d. of this city, father of We editor. 1t
will be remembered that some time
ago DR.. Green wrote an autobiogra-
ply, THE Simple Life of a Common
err" which contained so graphic a
description of early life in Iowa, the
civil war, and the subsequent history
of the state, that it was read with
much interest, and after publication
in book. form became in quite gener-
al demand. Readers of this paper
will remember that it made feature
that as its publication progressed
was the most prominent in the paper
The new story, THE Recognition
of Jesse Badleigh," is the first work
Of fiction among the various writings
of DR.. Green. The story is interwo-
ven with men OF DEBORAH and vicin-
ity as prominent characters, and we
feel sure that it will be read with
greater interest than any special fea-
ture this paper has contained. We
suggest that readers do not miss the
opening issues, for there is certain
to be large demand for back issues
after the story gets we'll started.

The Ice Situation.

Tavenir Bros. prospects of putting
up ice last week went a glimmering
Wednesday. There was an all day
downpour of rain with thunder and
something unusual for the
latter part of January. Consequently
the ice went out, and the banks OF
the river north of the college were
strewn with huge cakes. While some
ice has been cut for immediate use,
still none has been packed. In the
first place it was too thin and in the
second place there was danger in
working on it. Tavenir Bros. lost a
horse a week or so ago, by 1T
breaking through the thin ice, and
at Austin last week, a team of hor-
ses were drowned, that were being
used in cutting ice, and operations
there had to cease. An effort was
made Monday to get ice at the lower
power dam to fill the creamery and
Otto Dahljelm's ice houses, but it
was impossible to cut it at that point,
owing to the fact it was overlooked
with water. OF course the winter
isn't over yet, and February gener-
ally brings it's full quota of cold
weather, so the prospects of getting
ice for the summers supply is very
good yet.

4 Show That Pleased All.

That Printer of Udells" which
played the Grand last Thursday night
was one of the best attractions seen
in DEBORAH in many day. Those
patrons of the Grand who didn't see
it missed a gem. 1t was wholesome
throughout, and the acting was SUI
perb. Hugo Koch, the eminent
young actor was at his best.
The managers of the Grand are to
be congratulated on bringing such
clean wholesome plays to DEBORAH.
1t is not the easiest job in the
world to manage play house, es-
pecially one that calls for the high
grade attractions that Decorahs
Grand opera house does, and very
few people realize the amount OF
work put forth by the managers. II
is more than simply writing a letter
or sending a wire to a booking
agency to send on something" The
character of the play, the ability OF
the actors, and dozen and one 9th
er things are thoroughly looked into
before company is booked. 1t re
quires Judgment and tact, and con
sidering the many fine things
brought to DEBORAH, the manager
are surely entitled to great credit TO
their good judgment.
