1iIIyard Treasurer in Trouble

A case in which the city of Hillyard
is trying to recover $4,712 from John
A. Carabin former city treasurer is now
being tried in Spokane. 1t is alleged
that Carabin got the money by Jug
Cling the water receipts and padding
payrolls. Attorney Henderson who is
appearing for the state seeks to prove
that the city lost $463 on the water
fund and and $3.446 additional as the
result of padded payrolls. The loss is
declared to have been suffered during
1910, 1911 and 1912.
R. E. Brown who was Leavenworth's S
city engineer in 1918, came here from
Hillyard and after leaving here was ar
rested in Canada and brought back 10
Spokane, charged with being in on the
graft. 1t was reported here several
months ago that Brown is now dead.

Narrow Escape from Drowning

Mr.. Lin Hart, head Office man at
the Tumwater Light Cos. place ol
business, had a narrow escape from
drowning last Saturday in crossing the
Wenatchee river on the mill company S
dam. His residence is on the south
river bank opposite town and to save
time was in the habit OF using the foot
bridge on the dam going to and from
work. The high water caused by last
weeks heavy rains weakened the al
ready unsubstantial footbridge so that
his weight caused a section to give
way, throwing him into the stream.
He caught floating piece of timber
and worked his way to shore, and be-
yond an icy bath suffered no inconven-
ience. But it was a narrow escape.
Without support one can not long re-
main ahoat. The benumbing effect Of
the cold water and the many whirlpools
and swift current in the Wenatchee
river nearly always prove fatal.
1t may not be amiss to say in this
connection that sign warning the
public not to use the footbridge is
posted at each end. The bridge was
put in place to make repairs on the
dam and not intended for public use,
but on account of the saving in dis
tance has been quite generally used
for years rather than the iron bridge

CREAMERY EQUIPMENT
TO ARRIVE THIS WEEK
machinery to Be Tested out April IL
Cow Owners Requested To Be
On Hand

The machinery and equipment FOL
the Leavenworth Cooperative Cream
cry, bought last week, is expected to
arrive today or tomorrow, and will be
installed next week. Everything is ex-
pected to be in readiness to test the
machinery on Saturday, April 18th, at
which time the owners of milk stock
and all those who are interested in the
success OF the enterprise are requested
to be on hand.
Charles Grant Of Pateros, well known
authority on the creamery business, ex-
presses himself in the Pateros Reporter
as follow: Il believe that if every far
mer within IS miles of Pateros MIXED
six head OF good average cows, that
would produce a quart of cream day
it would put each one of them on a
cash basis, and bring more money and
greater prosperity to the Okanogan dis
trict than all the other occupations
combined"

A Most Worthy Movement

Mr.. D. C. Town is heading move
ment to clean up the cemetery. 1t
will be remembered he started the
same kind of movement last spring,
and the place where we all expect to
take our last, long sleep, still shows
evidence OF the good work done
There is still need for more work to be
done. The location and the grounds
themselves are ideal as burial place.
What they sorely need, tho, is evil
dence that somebody cares how the
grounds are kept up. Whether you
have friends or relatives buried there
we take it for granted that you still
have some respect for the memory ol
the departed. Sunday afternoon, April
18, has been appointed as day when
those who take interest in the matter
will meet at the grounds. Come pre-
pared to help the good work. Con-
veyances will take those who are not
provided to the grounds and bring
them back.

Death of Al. Church

The taking off of Mr.. Church was
sudden and unexpected. He retired
last Thursday evening in his usual
health at the boarding house Of Mrs.
Bowers, near the LID. mill, but did
not arise at the usual hour. When an
investigation was made it was found
that he was dead in bed. A physician
was sent for and pronounced that
death resulted from heart disease. The
body was still warm and the supposi-
ton is that death came just as he
made the movement to arise. He was
forty-six years old and had made his
home about here for the past nine or
ten years. He was about six feet in
height and weighed over two hundred
pounds. AT the time OF his death he
was employed at the Lamb Davis saw
mill. He came here from Green Bay,
Wisconsin, whittier his body was sent
Monday afternoon under instructions
from his mother The remains were
prepared for shipment by the Cascade
Undertaking Co.

State Finances in Good Shape

The State Of Washington started its
new fiscal biennium, April /, a million
and a quarter dollars better off finan-
cially than it was two years ago, the
monthly statement OF State Treasurer
Edward Meath shows. When Gov
ernor Lister and the new state treasurer
were inaugurated the state general fund
was not merely exhausted but consid-
erably overdrawn, this overdraft total
ling $555.03o April /. 1918.
In addition the most extravagant
legislature in the history OF the state
had appropriated nearly $8,000,000
from the general fund, making it nee
essary for the state board of equaliza-
tion to increase the general fund levy
to three mills, the extreme statutory
limit, in 1918.
Even this levy would have been in
sufficient to have brought the general
fund out OF the red'' had all appro-
priations been expended. Careful and
conservative expenditures, however,
made it possible to save a considerable
portion Of the money appropriated, this
money reverting to the general fund at
the end of the biennium. AS result
the general fund now shows, instead of
an overdraft, cash balance of $727,-
o38. The total cash balance Of all
state funds amount to $3, ,384,565.

Rays Invisible to the Eve.

Science tells us that in addition to
the rays of the sun which we see,
there are rays on both sides of the
spectrum which are invisible to the
human eye, but which are distin-
guished by the camera. The ultra
violet rays-rays which are less than
three-hundredth millionths of MILL.
meter in length-cause human being
all sorts of discomfort, including
among other things sunburn, tired
eyes and even blindness.
They are one of the greatest men,
aces the eye has. 1t has long been be-
lieved that they cause snow-blindness.
A number of experiments conducted
under test conditions show that they
cause fatigue of the eye, and in old
age lead to cataract, and, therefore, to
blindness.
