CITY COUNCIL MEETS
IN REGULAR SESSION
Councilman WOIdenburg Wants to Issue
$1,000 Worth of Bonds --Taxpay-
ers Urged to Attend Meeting

A matter of considerable importance
to the people of Leavenworth was the
resolution introduced by Councilman
Woldenburg at the council meeting
Tuesday, which calls for the the issu-
ance Of bonds to the amount Of So
900 which will be used to take up the
floating Indebtedness Of the city. Fol-
lowing the reading of the resolution
Mr.. Woldenburg made short talk in
which he said the city Of Wenatchee
had issued bonds several years back
when they were confronted by the
same situation which Leavenworth now
faces. He further said that il was not
necessary to bring the matter to vote
of the people, as it was in the power
OF the council to act. The bond issue
will be further discussed at the council
meeting next Tuesday night and ALL
TAXPAYERS ARE URGED TO AT
TEND and give their views.
Councilman Miller is strongly in ia
vor of putting the city attorney under
bonds and last Tuesday moved that the
council reconsider the ordinance relat-
ing to a bond for city attorneys which
they killed the week before. He said
the statutes compelled the giving of a
bond by the attorney. As before the
ordinance failed, Mr.. Miller getting
only the support of Councilman VOL
denburg.
j. B. Violette we given permission
to erect a brick veneer ice house on
his lots back of his residence.
A resolutionsto the effect that they
were very much opposed to the new
bill which has been introduced at
Olympia giving the public service
commission full power in the regula-
ton OF rates and other matters pertain
ing to public utilities, was drafted by
the council and forwarded to Senator
Flummerfelt, senator from this district.
A talk on Leavenworth's financial
situation and the condition OF the diff
ferent funds from which money is
drawn to meet the current and water
expenses occupied much time. 1t
was found that in many cases warrants
had been drawn against the wrong
funds.
At the request Of City Clerk Brown
and Treasurer Koerner, Engineer Bar
mum was instructed to make out re-
port of all work done and money spent
on the water system from the date the
contract was let up to the present time.
The two above officials were directed
two weeks ago to bring in this report,
but stated that they were unable to do
so, their time being all taken up. Mr..
Barnum, whose term of Office would
have expired today, was employed for
an additional ten days.
Engineer Barnum reported that the
Leavenworth Lumber Co. owed water
bill amounting to $17 on which pay
ment was refused. He said after re-
peated unsuccessful efforts to collect
the bill he had turned off the water.
The matter was turned over to the city
attorney for adjustment.
Mr.. Barnum was appointed electri-
cal and building inspector for period
OF one year. He expects to have on
file in a few weeks set of rules gov
erning building and wiring.

THE GOVERNMENT OFFERS YOU
SITE FOR A SUMMER HOME
Select a Tract of Ground on Lake Wenat-
chee For Summer Camp--The
Rental is Low

Did you know that you could rent,
at nominal fee per annum, half an
acre of ground within the National
Forest for a summer home and live
there indefinitely?
According to the National Forest
Manual, The fullest use Of the Ma
tional Forest lands and resources is de-
sired and encouraged" Few people
realize what this means. So much has
been said of the commercial side of the
National Forest resources, Of their
worth to the nation as business prop
osition, that little heed has been given
to their value as peoples playground
Where can one find a more delight
ful recreation spot than in the beautiful
forest?
Many a sylvan scene" within the
National Forest boundary may be per-
manently enjoyed almost for the asking.
Go into the Forest and pick out your
camping site along some stream or by
the side OF some lake or in the high
mountains, then apply to the nearest
supervisor for a permit to use half an
acre or so OF land on which to establish
your camp. II your choice Of site
does not interfere with other forest uses
or users, he will grant it to you upon
the payment of the annual rental, which
rental runs from SIS to SIS, according
to the location and the size Of the camp
site. Your permit is good indefinitely,
the only requirement being that you
comply with Forest Service regulations,
chiefly in regard to sanitation and fire
prevention.
Some few people have become wise
to the possibilities of National Forest
camp sites, and are already enjoying
their summer homes. An example Of
this kind Of special use is to be found
T. 8 s., R. 7. E., on the Oregon Nat
ional Forest, at the junction Of Still
Creek and Zigzag River, where there is
quite summer colony. Several
people applied to the supervisor for
rentals, and as a result, a tract OF land
along these two streams was surveyed
and laid out in lots, thirty-one in all.
They vary in size from 66x125 to 84x
90. Fifteen permits have already been
granted, the permittees have built their
homes and put in Improvements, and
appearances indicate that it will not be
long before the balance Of the lots will
be taken up under permit. The Bar
low Road, which has recently been i'm
proved. runs through this tract, and it
is only three hours ride by automobile
from Portland.
There are scattered lots and some
surveyed tracts in other National For
ests of Washington and Oregon. In
fact. there are splendid opportunities
for summer camps in such localities as
Klamath Lake, Oregon, Lake Wenat-
chez, Lake Chelan. Lake Keechelus
and Crescent Lake Washington.
Several summer hotels have been es-
tablished within the Forests, but there
is still room for many individual camps
OF summer homes.

off from the Confederacy that the Federal
government possibly could. l was also
told that President Davis, being unable to
furnish proper food, and especially medi-
cines for the Federal prisoners, by reason
of the blockade, and his great heart bleed
ing for their sufferings, wrote President
Lincoln, telling him of the condition, and
proposed to give safe conduct for any sup
plies the United States Government would
send to its imprisoned soldiers, even going
SO far as to offer safe conduct for such
officers and surgeons as might be deemed
necessary to see that the supplies were
properly distributed. But Mr.. Lincoln re-
fused to relieve his men,

"KEEP OFF THE GRASS" UNCLE SAM!

The German view is that anything is al
lowable that will save Germany. On the
other hand, it might be asked, is it right to
starve more than sixty millions of people,
or to inflict on all these millions of nom
combatants the pangs of months of hunger
in order to break down Germany's power
of military resistan nee? Yet the Germans
did that when they beseiged Paris in the
war of 1870, and that has been one of the
accepted ways of reducing strong city or
fortress from time immemorial. To do the
same thing to country is simply to give
an old principle wider application.
England is acting brutally from the Ger
man point of view; Germany is acting
brutally from the English point of view.
What is plain is that each is trying for the
strangle hold, for the death grip. We may
not have the right to sit in judgment on
either of them, but it is very important for
US to keep as much out Of the way of their
death struggle as possble.-4Nobate Reg
lister.
The Register is correct. The United
States is the last nation on earth that
should in any way whatever interfere in the
European War. There were no hypocrit-
ical tears shed in the North or protests
offered by Europe when the Federal Gov
eminent had its strangle hold on the South
during 1875, waging war of not only
starvation but of unsurpassed brutality
against the Southern Confederacy, while
Russia sent her battleships to New York
to intimidate other nations and the German
States sent their hirelings to the North to
fight the armies of the South. 1t would
surely be an act of the basest ingrattude
on the part of the North (and it is Northern
big business which is clamoring, regardless
of consequences, for free hand at dollar
grabbing) to directly or indirectly injure
the cause of the Allies: for had it not been
for the growl of the Russian Bear and the
Queen of England overriding the will of
her people, the Confederacy would have
won its independence. Again, if the news
paper reports at that time were correct, it
was the roar of the British Lion at Manila
Bay during the Spanish War which pre-
vented Germany from striking Dewey
with an iron hand"
Let big business be patient; keep out of
the way; don't rock the boat, and ''let US
have peace"
