173 FREIGHT CARS, CABOOSE,
TWO ENGINES, IN ONE TRAIN
Mile and Half lOng---The Conductor
Walked Mile and Half and Rode
Three Miles in Three Mile Run

What is believed to be the longest
train of freight cars ever hauled on the
Great Northern was brought into Leav-
enworth last Saturday evening by Con-
ductor Benner. The train consisted
of two engines and caboose, and 173
freight cars. The length of train
lacked only a few feet of being one
and half miles long. In making the
run from Peshastin to Leavenworth
Conductor Benner walked over the
train and therefore rode three miles
and walked a mile and a half in a dis
tance of three miles. The two Malley
engines which brought the train in are
each ninety feet long. The average
length of each car is "A feet, counting
the coupling. The length of the ca
boose was 40 feet.

Death of Henry c. Blankenship

Henry, as he was familiarly known,
first took sick about two weeks ago
while working on the mill pond of the
Id. Lumber Co., first with a severe
cold, followed by tonsilitis, which later
developed eresypelas. He was brought
to the Leavenworth Hospital and every
thing that medical skill could do was
done without avail. Toward the end,
May %, other complications set in and
he died Saturday morning at 10 o'clock
and was buried in the local cemetery
Sunday, May %. Rev. A. c. Huff
conducted services in the Methodist
church.
His father, w. F. Blankenship, is
he oldest resident on Lake Wenatchee,
having moved there in 1891. Henry
c. Blankenship was 27 years old, and a
twin brother of Harry c. He is sur
vived by his father and mother, six
brothers and two sisters. This was the
first death that has occurred in this pio-
neer family, which removed to Wash
ington in 1887, all members OF which
are universally esteemed as among the
best citizens in the county.

This paper has always stood for and
advocated the enforcement OF a law on
the principal that the non enforcement
of a poor or unpopular law begets con-
tempt for all law. There are, how
ever, instances where asking for the
very. farthest limit OF punishment is
little short OF savagery, and nothing
less than persecution. The case here
referred to is such an instance. For
the accidental killing Of ]. c. Parsons
the law was fully vindicated when
Harry E. Carr was convicted by Jury
in February last, and sentenced to
confinement in the penitentiary, fol-
lowed by his confinement in jail for
three months, pending the result OF

BIewUtt Mining News

On May 21st rich gold quartz was
encountered on the new level of the
Ivanhoe mine, which is one of the
Wilder group, 200 feet below No. 3
tunnel, at the face of a deep cut driven
from the gulch.
The ore shows visible grain gold,
we'll disseminated, associated with py-
rites and telluride, and is Of high mill
ing grade. Alongside is strong pay
streak of red oxidized ore.
Development Of this property is be-
ing watched with considerable local in
terest as its successful opening is slim
ulating systematic prospecting on this
gold belt and indications are that its
earlier production will be revived.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
ADJOURNS TILL MONDAY
Tumwater Bank is Made Municipal De-
pository-CounciI Buys Auto for
Water Commissioner

The city council met as usual last
Tuesday evening with all members
present. AS there was little business
on hand an adjournment came at o:30.
A communication from R. F. Taylor,
cashier OF the Tumwater Savings Bank,
relative to the changing Of the city's
account from the State Bank to the
Tumwater Bank, was read and discussed
at length. In view of the fact that
letter from the officials Of the State
Bank, read at a previous meeting OF
the council, to the effect that if the ac-
count was to be divided they would
prefer having the Tumwater handle all
the city's business, Councilman VOL
denburg moved that the city treasurer
be instructed to transfer the funds to
the Tumwater Bank, which would in
the future be the city depository The
motion was seconded and carried.
A bill from Cal Young, amounting to
$72, which he claims is the value OF
furniture destroyed by city officials, was
laid on the table. The furniture de-
stroyed was that which was in Mr.
Young's home during the time his
family was quarantined with scarlet
fever and was burned to prevent a fur
ther outbreak of this contagious disease.
The council having decided several
weeks ago that the water commissioner
needed an automobile, which would
enable him to make better time in
travelling about the city and would also
cut out livery hire, Councilman VOL
denburg moved that they accept the
car offered them by Julian Magyar. The
motion was seconded and carried. The
price was $225. The car, in addition
to being used by the water commits
sioner in the performance of his duties,
will be equipped so it will be an easy
matter to attach the hose cart to the
machine to be used in case of fire.
On motion of Mr.. Woldenburg, At
torney Nelson was instructed to bring
in written report next Monday night,
giving his opinion on the letter of Mr..
Nuzum, the Spokane attorney, regard
ing the proposed damage suit against
the contractors, Seaman & Quigg
There being no further business the
council adjourned until that time.

Harry E. Carr Has Had Enough Punishment

punishment severe to a proud, sensi
tive, honorable man, who had always
enjoyed the high respect of every man
in the community in which he lived
for twelve years, then we ask, in heav-
ems name, what punishment more Sc
we're could be added. Would ten
years confinement add to his punish
ment-his mental anguish2 What
good purpose is served by sending him
to the penitentiary for term of years.
None, absolutely none. 1t would only
deprive his family Of the help and COM
fort he could be to them. Because
the law has been vindicated, and be-
cause he has already been punished,
we earnestly hope his petition for par
don will prevail with the governor when
it is presented.

$4,000 Reward for Two Fresh EGGS

TNCLE SAM is making a wonderful
offer, and a boy may thereby gain
a fortune of $4,000 merely by find
ing birds nest with two white eggs in
it. But the nest must be the nest of
wood pigeon, and the eggs must be freshly
laid and under the care of the parent birds.
Twenty years ago a boy could have
found thousands of these nests, for there
We're millions of the beautiful pigeons
in the country at that time, and now it is
feared that not one remains; but Uncle
Sam is making a desperate effort to find one.
This does not mean that only one nest
will be paid for, but as many as are
found will receive the reward of $4,000.
The reason for the governments anxi-
ETY. to find these nests is that the authori-
ties hope to breed these wood pigeons once
more; for they are the one kind of bird
that may be depended upon to keep down
the moth pests that are now fast Destroy
ing our trees and shrubs and laying waste
our farms, and it would be vastly cheaper
for Uncle Sam to pay a few premiums of
$4,000 each than to make the annual
appropriations of millions of dollars for
the determination of the gypsy and other
moths and pests.
Ii was the wild pigeon that used to
keep the forests and fields free from these
insect pests, and eighteen or twenty
years ago they We're common sight.
Now they are all gone, and even one
little nest is worth $4,000. The authori-
ties realize that even from one nest and
pair of birds the species might again be
coaXed back. Agassiz reported that dur
ing their annual migrations their hordes
We're beyond belief and in one of his rec
ords the great naturalist speaks of one
flight of the birds that made dense path
half a mile wide and took fifteen hours to
pass a given place.

1t has been one of the greatest mysteries
in the history of bird lore, this sudden dis
numerous. These wood or passenger
pigeons We're the commonest of all birds
in the early days of our land, and We're
found all over the country. They We're,
to be sure, killed by millions, and, as in
the case of the buffalo, there was wanton
destruction. Few were used for food ;
but the wings and feathers were used for
various common purposes. In little
over decade they We're finally exter-
minated
The nests We're rather odd, and could
not be mistaken for the nest of any other
bird. They We're crudely constructed on

afternoon to investigate the circum-

was that of David Kato, a Finlander,
48 years of age who had lived and

years. Working in Camp II this win
Ter he spsnt Monday in town and was
believed to have started for camp
about nine o'clock using the log-road
as is customary with the camp en-
ployees. The train struck and ran over
him but examination later, could not
determine whether cash in his
throat was made then or earlier by
foul means. 1t was not known just
how niue h money he carried but when
found only dollar or so was on his
person and a watch he was seen to have
while in town was missing. A coro-
ners jury of six men was impa nelled
to view the remains and supposed
scene of death and after so doing rem
dered verdict that he was murder
ously assaulted before being struck by
the train but did not name any per-
son or persons as suspected of the
crime. So it will likely go down in
