Graduates in Demand.

in every bank of Marshailtown, and
in practically every business office and
growing manufacturing concern. you
Will find graduates of the Central Iowa
Business College employed and beng
advanced to responsible positions.
Within the past few days the college
has received calls for its graduates
from the Eaton Frye Company, OF Des

its Aberdeen office: the Western Gro

Hardly a week passes but that one or
more students are placed in positions

| Illuminating ON this phase of the sub
ject, T.-R. man sought out President
w H. Gilbert and asked an explana-
ton.
There are many reasons said Mr..
Gilbert, why the graduates of good
| business college are in demand and
outstrip their companions who have to
| begin lower in the scale and rise only
| by hard and sometimes bitter expert
ence. AS to why the graduates of this
particular school are preferred above
| others. l should say that the practical
character of the work we are doing en-
ables our graduates to make good. This
appeals to the business man. so that
after placing the student in an office,
or with a business concern. he becomes
a perpetual recommendation.

BY THE WAY.-Arthur Brisbane
is an editorial writer and works for

One of the faVorite themes of Bris-

He loves to tell those who read his
stuff that the really big men of the
world have blue eyes, .-
Brisbane DOES take this stuff Sc
riously.
And, though we are not so silly
as to imagine that the mental caliber,
of man is determined by the color
of his eyes, we offer to those born
so unfortunately with brown or dark
eyes this information:

JUNIOR CLASS PERFORMANCE
PROVED SPLENDID SUCCESS
High School Auditorium Was Crowded
Last Friday Night TO Witness Min
Strel Show and Carnival

A big success, financially as we'll as
socially, was the minstrel show and
carnival given last Friday by the Junior
class OF the Leavenworth high school.
Early in the evening the students, num-
bering some 40 or so, gave street
parade, after which they repaired to the
high school building and the fun COM
menced, continuing to a late hour.
The first thing on the program was
the minstrel show which took place in
the high school auditorium. Practi-
cally every seat in the room was occu-
pied. To say that the show was good
is putting it mild. The jokes gotten
off were exceptionally clever and kept
the audience in continual round of
laughter.
Following the performance the visit
ors were invited down into the base
ment where another show along the
lines of carnival took place. Here
for the small sum of one cent to a iit-
ney one could see Bosco eating them
alive; the dancing girls and all the
other attractions common at shows of
this kind. The crowd enjoyed this
part of the entertainment immensely and
it was a late hour before the lights
finally went out.
To Miss Wanda Warren, instructor
in music, most OF the credit is due for
the success Of the affair, which was
arranged according to her ideas and
gotten up in less than two weeks time.

SIXTY TO EIGHTY SPECIAL
TRAINS OVER THE G. n. RY.
The Special Service will Begin in June
and Continue Thru the Summer

Terminal Agent Woodrow says al
ready the road has arranged for some
sixty or eighty special trains over the
Great Northern railway, on the way to
or from the great San Francisco exposi-
ton. Lodges, societies, associations
and private touring parties are included
in the number. After the first Of June
they will begin to roll thru here at the
rate of one or more each way every
day in the week.
1t would seem that there is here an
opportunity to do some publicity work
that will benefit the Wenatchee valley.
There will be among the tourists peo-
pie from every portion OF the United
States and it is not unreasonable to
suppose that some are making the trip
with view Of deciding on a new loca-
tion.

Creamery Opening Postponed

On account OF the cement floor in
the working room of the dairy not be-
ing in condition to set the machinery
without injury to the same it has been
decided to postpone the installation OF
the machinery, which arrived the first
Of the week, until about the middle Of
next week. The demonstration run OF
the machinery for the benefit of the
ranchers and stockholders generally
will not be made until Saturday, April
oath, at which time everything will be
in readiness to give the machinery a
thoro test. Mr.. A. ]. Holcomb, who
will superintend the installation OF the
equipment and have charge Of the
creamery, is here and says among other
supplies received is the best churn on
the market.

New Industrial Insurance Rating


The rates of assessment fixed for
hazardous industries under the COM
pensation act have been more than suf-
ficient in every case, as is shown by
financial review of the industrial insur-
ance commissions work for the three
and one-half years during which the
act has been in effect.
For a number of classes the rates
fixed in the original law have proved to
be three or four times as large as nee
essary. In the printing class, where
an assessment of $1.50 on each 500
of payroll was provided by law, a 10
cent assessment proved sufficient.
At present the only method Of regu-
lating the rating question is for the
commission to omit the monthly as
sessments when class fund has a suf-
ficient balance to meet all anticipated
claims. Under the amendments to
the compensation act which will be-
come effective June 10, the commits
sion is, however given authority to
make any necessary changes in rates.

WOLFTTE BRINGS SUIT
FOR INSURANCE MONEY
Most of the Trouble Seems to Have Been
Caused Thru misunderstanding
$500 Involved

]. B. Violette thru his attorneys,
Whitney & Hughes of Wenatchee, has
brought suit for the payment Of three
insurance policys which have been
held up since the fire of December 80,
last which destroyed his place OF bus
mess located in the Bjork building.
The total amount of insurance carried
by Mr.. Violette was $500. OF this
amount c. E. Hamilton local in
surance agent carried $1,000 and R.
B. Field, $2,500. The companies
represented by Mr.. Hamilton deny all
liability and the company of which Mr.
Field was the agent claims that his
$2.500 policy was not in force. Mr..
Violette says that he left all his policys
in the care Of the insurance agents for
safe keeping and that he has cancelled
checks to show that he paid the pre-
MUM.
The whole thing is a mixed up af-
fair, caused when Mr.. Violette trans
ferred the bulk of his insurance busi-
ness from Mr.. Field to Mr.. Hamilton.
Mr.. Violette contends that Mr.. Field
was to carry the policy OF $4,000 on
his fixtures, but from all accounts it
was Mr.. Fields understanding that he
was to cancel all of Violette's insur-
ance carried by him.
What the outcome of the trouble
will be is not known at this time but
there is every likelihood that the case
viii be fought out in the court.

JOE JOHNSON RETURNS
AFTER LONG ABSENCE
County Assessor Comes from Alaska to
Place His IgnatiOn With
County commissioners

Joe E. Johnson, Chelan county's
missing assessor, showed up in Wenat-
chez last Thursday and placed his res
ignation in the hands OF the county
commissioners.
Mr.. Johnson says he regrets very
much to hear OF the reports circulated
by some of his enemies that he has not
played fair with the people. The rec
ords, he says, show differently. He says
it is absolutely untrue that he favored
two big corporations on the assessment
rolls and that he never collected his
salary while absent, but turned it over
to his chief deputy, Homer Grant. In
his resignation he asked the commits
sioners for a clean bill of health ap-
proving his work while assessor and
also disproving the charges against
him-that in a number OF cases assess
ments were illegal.
Mr.. Johnson is now located in Sew"
ard, Alaska, where he has gone into
the real estate business and bought
considerable property. He is much
elated over the fact that Seward has
been chosen as the terminus Of the
new government railroad in Alaska.

SCENIC HIGHWAY
TO BE COMPLETED
Road Supervisor Parish will Soon Begin
Work and Rush it to Early
Completion

King county expects to have its
section of the Scenic highway COM
pleted to the Summit by June 10"
said c. D. Flannigan, a Wenatchee
man, on returning to his home from
Skykomish last Sunday. The contrac-
tors are pushing the work rapidly and
are now way past Scenic Hot Springs.
The road from the springs to the Sno-
homish county line is completed and is
wonder, both for its fine construction
and its scenery. 1t can be seen from
the train as it winds around in the for
ests. Can anyone imagine anything
more delightful than automobiling on
this road when it is finished. From
Hot Springs on to the summit it follows
the route, of the old switchback. When
King county finishes this remaining
small strip, there will be a good road
from Seattle to the summit with the
exception of six miles which runs thru
Snohomish county and on which there
has been no work done, nor have there
been any appropriations made"
Mr.. Thomas Parish, supervisor OF
public roads in the western part OF Che
Ian county, passed thru here the first OF
the week on his way to Merritt to in
Spect roads and determine how soon it
will be practical to begin work on the
uncompleted portion of the Scenic
highway lying in Chelan county. He
said he thought work would begin in a
short time, and once started would be
pushed to completion. The uncom-
pleted portion of the new Wenatchee
lake road will also be completed.
Speaking of the Blewett road he said
he would build two or three bridges to
take the place of some that have about
served their time and would make con-
siderable improvement in the road. 1t
is the belief that the Blewett road will
in the future be used more because Of
the completion of the Snoqualmie state
highway at an early date. Those who
cross the Cascades from the west by
way Of the Snoqualmie pass will prefer
to go by way of the Wenatchee valley
to eastern Washington rather than by
the dry and rocky road from Ellens-
burg to the Columbia river, where there
is neither house, tree or shrub for a
distance OF fifteen or twenty miles.
Mr.. Parish believes by keeping the
BIewett road in good condition many
auto parties will be induced to make
free use of this connecting link be-
tween the Scenic state highway down
the Wenatchee valley and the Snoqual-
mie state highway
