SCHOOL FACULTY A-hUNTING
COILS AND ONE GETS LOST
When the Scent of Bear is StruCk-lt
Was Not the Bear He Feared

A faculty party composed OF Messrs.
Osborn, Bickel, Lane afeld and Ellison
of the local schools and Messrs. Brown
and Moore of Weratchee started out
after big game last Friday. The nim-
rods left home with hopes elated but
in the midst OF their pleasures they met
with a sad experience. Saturday after
noon the leaders of the party scented
the tracks Of old Bruin and were hard
on his trail. But one Of the pursuing
party proved too corpulent, and being
unable to keep up the required pace.
decided to rest at the bottom OF a ridge.
Game was near and the fact that one
of the hunters was missing was over
looked.
Great uneasiness seized the camp
that night when the lost member
failed to appear. Help was summoned
from the city and early the next morn
ing the searching party located the
lost one in the exact spot where last
seen. The lost one preferring relax
alton and the rather dark night, dis
PEELED all thought of seeking camp
hence a night Of solitary communion
with Nature.
We would suggest that il the un-
lucky member make a peace offering
to Diana before the next trip the fates
may smile more benignly upon him.

new REGISTRATION LAW
EVERY VOTER MUST REGISTER
Voter Can Cast His Ballet at Any Box in
the State-After Jan. Registra-
ton Every Four Years Only

The law passed at the last session of
the Legislature governing the registra-
tion of voters makes many changes in
the old law, most of which are along
the line of improvement and conven-
ience. After the first Of January next
it is necessary to register only once
every. -four years, provided you have
voted at every general election and
remained citizen of the state all the
time. The voter can also cast his bal
lot at any voting box in the state, pro-
vided, when registering he has OBJ
tanned a certificate OF registration.
Then the voter simply presents his bal
lot, accompanied by the certificate, to
the election officers, who seals the
same and forwards it to the election Of
fcers where he registered. If the
voter is less than 25 miles from his
own voting box his vote will be re-
fused. 1t is taken for granted if man
wants to vote he can go to his home
box if not more than 25 miles
distant. Every voter must register in
the county where he resides. There
is no distinction made between town
and country districts. All must regis
ter, every four years. The registra-
ton books open the first Monday in
January and remain open all the time,
except they will be closed twenty days
before general, state, county or mu-
nicipal elections, and closed ten days
before any special or primary election.
Registration officers in the country
will be paid five cents a name for all
voters registered and five cents for
cancelling a name; added to this they
will receive five cents per name for
every recall, initiative or referendum
petition they check. and five cents for
every voter certified TO any state Off
Ger when required.
If the law is violated in any way the
crime is felony.

STATE BANK INSTALLS
WONDERFUL MACHINE
1t Does Almost Everything But Talk
It is so Accurate that Mistakes
Seldom Ever Occur.

The Leavenworth State Bank has
just added a remarkable machine to its
equipment-it posts ledger accounts
and makes out customers statements.
There won't be any more night work
balancing pass books at the end OF each
month. The bank has done away with
the old pass book system and adopted
the Statement System which banks in
other cities are using.
People who are not acquainted with
the inside workings OF bank will not
fully realize the great advantages oi
machine work over hand work in post
ing to the ledger. The big advant-
ages OF using the machine is the saw
ing il time and in the improvement in
the appearance and legibility of the
ledger sheet.
Heretofore the clerks, when posting
to the ledger, had to first make list
cf checks and then a list of deposits,
on each account add each list separate
ly and then subtract to get balance.
This is all accomplished in one opera
ton by the new machine. 1t automat-
ically adds the deposits to the old
balance and substracts the checks as
they are listed. The new balance is
computed and proved simply by taking
total.
The bank will save at least fifty per
cent in time by the machine method.
Then, too, there is no possibility of an
error as the machine cannot make a
mistake. The saving in this means
something to the patrons Of the bank,
for this time can be devoted to the
improvement of the already excellent
service which the Leavenworth State
Bank is now giving to its patrons.
The bank is also using the machine
in connection with its recently adopted
system OF sending out monthly state
ments. The statements are written
entirely on the machine which means
absolute accuracy and printed figures.
The big feature, of course, is that the
customer will no longer have to wait
for his pass book to be balanced.
Heretofore, if a customer wanted a
statement Of his account in the middle
of the month. he would be compelled
to wait until the clerk went through
the ledger from the first Of the month
made a list of checks and deposits
listed each check and deposit and add
ed each check and deposit and added
each list and then substract to get a
DalaDce or an OVeIQrdll.
With the new adding substracting
machine in use the customers account
is balanced daily. Each day the state
ments are taken out OF the binder, put
into the machine and checks and de-
posts listed; a total taken and the
balance carried forward ready for the
next days posting. Now when Gus
toner wants a statement at any time,
all the clerk has to do is to go to the
ledger and take off the last figures
posted, which will be a statement Of
the customers account right up-to-
date.
V. w. Fell. of the Burroughs Add
ing Machine Co., was in the city several
days installing the new system.

FIVE-BOX GRAND APPLE
PRIZE AT EXPOSITION
viii Come Here if Our Growers Go After
It-COntest Open to Every Fruit
Section of United States

Whether the Wenatchee valley cap
lures this trophy depends upon whether
our growers make the same determined
effort to win which they have put for
ward in the past. The superiority Of
the apples from the Wenatchee valley
are not questioned. The matter Of
winning the grand prize rests solely
with the growers.
Following are the rules which will
govern in awarding the prize, adopted
at meeting of exhibitors in the Wash
ington state space, palace Of horticul-
ture, Panama-Pacifc International Ex-

6 o'clock p. M, Nov. /, 1915.
Exhibits must be installed in partici
pants space, palace Of horticulture, not
later than 6 p. m., Nov. 6, 1915.
One box of each entry is to be de-
livered to the jury, in the original pack
age, the remaining four boxes to be
installed in the participants space and
the wrappers removed from the top row
only.
Repacking OF boxes after reaching
San Francisco disbars the exhibit from
competing in the contest.
The rules governing alb International
Apple Contests, relative to box bruises
received in transit, will prevail in this
contest.
Each entry must consist of five boxes
of one variety grown by one individual.
Exhibitors may have as many entries
as they wish but cannot enter more
than five boxes of one variety.
The following score may be used in
awarding the grand sweepstakes prize
in the five-box contest:
