confined to what was caused by water
and will probably be less than $25.
The other building, erected in 1918
by the Leavenworth Building & Loan
Association, fronted o5 feet on Com
mercial street and was rs feet deep.
It was divided into three rooms. The
one occupied by the postoffice was %
feet wide; the adjoining room was the
same width and was occupied by Mr..
S. A. Murray, owner of the Palace
Store, with stock OF dry goods and
women's wear. Adjoining that was the
Leavenworth Furniture Co., Messrs. A.
G. Mccoy and o. B. Hayes, proprie-
tors. They occupied frontage of so
feet. The outer walls of the building
were brick, but the partitions between
the furniture store, the Palace and the
postoftice were all made of wood, and
made the fire impossible of control, as
the partitions added to the fire.
The wooden warehouse of K. & V.
B. Hardware Co., across the alley from
the building occupied by the Leaven-
worth Furniture Co. was saved with
little effort and was never considered
in much danger. The loss of the
Furniture Co. is approximately IS, 900,
with insurance amounting to $3, 500.
Mr.. Murray, of the Palace Store, says
he has $500 insurance and says his
net loss is $1,000, which would make
his stock value SIS, 500. The loss
on the postoffice fixtures is $4,000
with $500 insurance. The value Of
the government property amounted to
some $500. The loss OF the build
ing is estimated a. $4,000, with
$500 insurance. Whether it will be
rebuilt has not yet been decided on.
While this was not by any means
the largest fire the town has had in the
past twelve years it was one of the
worst to combat that has ever occurred
here, on account of the difficulty Of
getting to the fire. There was an
abundance of water and the pressure
was never less than 80 pounds, and the
volunteers worked bravely and hard to
save the building. 1t was very diff
cult to get into the basement and the
dense smoke only added to the trouble.
All the blanks and fixtures intended
for the new postoffice at Winton were
in the Leavenworth postoffice the night
of the fire and were destroyed. This
will delay the opening of the Winton
office until new outfit can be ordered.
After the fire number OF Christmas
packages were recovered. All of them
were saturated and some of the pack
ages had the address destroyed, while
other packages and letters appeared to
be uninjured and were delivered. An
enormous lot of mail and postoffice
blanks, mail pouches and other things
belonging to the postoffice was re-
covered in a more or less damaged con-
dition. The contents of the two safes
in the post office was found wet but
otherwise undamaged except the stamps
which were useless. The contents Of
the safes in the Palace store and the
furniture store were also found in good
condition.

To Each Individual in the Stale o.

To Each Individual in the STATE oil
Washington:
I earnestly ask that every man and
woman will read carefully the questions
below and after carefully considering
them from every angle, sit down and
write me his or her views thereon. I
have frankly stated my personal views
but, as the representative of our people,
I desire in a matter of this kind to re-
fleet their views as nearly as I can as
certain what they are; and it is to get
this information that l am submitting
these inquiries:
First-Do we need larger standing
army than we now have for purely peace
purposes and domestic duties2 | think
not.
Second-Whatever may be the final
outcome OF the present war in Europe,
do you think that any OF the countries
involved will want to go to war with US
at once or very soon after it comes to
close? I do not think SO?
Third-If you think any country now
involved will desire to go Immediately
or very soon into war with US, kindly
say why you think so.
Fourth-Do you think it most prob
able that there will be at least several
years of general peace when the war
closes? I do.
If we are likely to be attacked by a
strong power, do you think that an in
crease in our standing army by 40, 900
men will enable US to make an efec-
tive defense? I do not.
Sixth-If we should prepare now to
meet an attack by a strong power in
the near future, don't you think we
should make adequate and prompt
preparations by organizing standing
army of 25O,O00 or 100000 men, as
urged by the war experts? do.
Seventh-If trouble is to come soon,
should we take four or FIVE years to pre-

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1915-12-31

To the senator's first question, which
he answers in the negative, we submit
qualified answer. In the event OF a
German victory we think the need of a
larger standing army is quite probable
to preserve peace and order. In that
event it is highly probable that Ger
many would attack Canada. Also in
that event it is possible we might have
trouble in repressing the German ele-
ment in this country, who if they did
not take up arms against this govern
ment, which is unlikely, would cause
international trouble in the violation of
our neutrality with other nations.
To the second question, the likli-
hood of war with any Of the European
nations Immediately following the close
Of the present war, we think it scarcely
likely, but quite possible in the event
OF German victory. Therefore it is
necessary as a measure of precaution to
be prepared for any eventuality.
To the third question, our reply is
that in the event Of German victory,
nothing is sure.
To the fourth paragraph we have to
say: We think it highly probable that
the close of the big war will be followed
by turbulent times all over Europe;
war on lesser scale and violent revo-
lutions.
To the fifth-Unqualifedly, no! A
half million would come nearer to what
we need. A million would insure pro-
lection.
With the sixth proposition we can
readily agree.
To the seventh we have but one an

GOOD ROADS DAY
Some Excellent Work Done an East
and West Roads

C.The good roads day Tuesday. which
was made holiday by the merchants
ana business men of the citv proved a
great success, big turnout of labor
ers and teams falling into line. Some
~ teams were at work on the east line
and 276 leads of gravel were put on
the trail line. a straight mile of the
road having been graveled if it had
been all together. The western de-
partment did not have as many teams
at work. and they h.d further to ha aul
the gravel, but good work was done.
the road being the north branch OF
the trail.
The stores and business house, were
pretty we'll all closed for the day, and
the men were out upon the firing line.
At noon the ladies of the city, who
had organized themselves into a re-
freshm-nt committee, made their way
out to the trenches and supplied the
troops with hot coffee and an appetiz-
ing lunch that brought out the graft
tude OF the laborers all along the line.
As we go to press. work is being
pushed on the north and south roads
from Milbank. and men and teams are
at work. in similar form to that Of
Tuesday when the work was done on
the east and west lines. and dinner is
being served the same as on Tuesday.
