FOOTBALL NEXT SUNDAY
Id. VS.. WENATCHfE
This Will Be a HOtIy- Contested Game
and a Large Turnout is
Expected

Sunday comes the big clash of the
season on Leavenworth's gridiron. The
Wenatchee All-Stars are scheduled to
meet the Lambda club on the local
grounds. Everyone who followed the
football scores of a year or two ago
knows something of Wenatchee's ia
nous 1912 team. Nearly all Of these
men are now playing with the All-Stars.
They include such men as Duffy, the
former high school full-back, who won
fame at Gonzaga college last year;
Crosby, famous high school half; Mer-
ideth, one of Wenatchees speediest
halves; and Rawlins, an all-round ath-
lete and football player. These men
make up the All-Stars back field, and a
formidable one it is.
Our backfeld looks just as good
with Wunder, woodrow, Gordon ano
McKinnie, we may look forward TO one
big scrap. A good turnout is desired
as the club boys have gone to consid-
erable expense in bringing the Wenat-
chez bunch to Leavenworth. Every
one is assured his moneys worth ol
thrills Stillman Miller of Wenatchee
will referee the game, which will be
called promptly at 3 p. m, rain Oh
shine.

.LAMB-DAVH IBR. CO.'S
RIVER DAM REPAIRED
force of Men Employed Over a Month
in Making Repairs Costing
Upwards of $1,000

Under the supervision Of Mr.. w. w.
Wilder the Lamb-Davis Lumber Com
pany's dam has undergone considerable
improvement the past month. To
make the improvement contemplated
the water was all drawn out of the mill
pond five or six weeks ago, since which
time the entire upper side of the dam,
where the gravel was exposed, has been
covered with heavy coat Of concrete
varying in width from ten to twenty
feet for distance OF nearly two thous-
and feet, or from one bank to the
other. Decaying timbers were replaced
with new timbers, and wherever the
structure showed weakness it was made
stronger.
This improvement in the company's
dam is mentioned because it indicates
that the company expects to have use
for the dam next year, and ought to
stop the mouths of those calamity clac-
kers who have spread the report that
the mill would not run next year.

Nothing But Conversation
BOOSe" Now

In the past week we have had a
touch of what Europe has enjoyed for
over a year, scraps. Last Saturday
night man had his head almost
beat off by two men who make prac-
tice OF beating every one who refuses
to give up money to buy booze. On
Monday these two particular individ-
uals ran afoul of the law and the law
got the best OF them. Magistrate Gra-
ham gave each fine of 800 and 80
days in Jail. Monday another good
man had his face all skinned UP.
How did it happen?" Got in dis
pute with another man and he beat
me almost to death.
The dispensers Of liquid refresh
ments all claim the fighting brand Of
liquor has been banished from Leaven-
worth. At present the strongest brand
obtainable is called Conversation
Booze" Victims OF this brand will
talk you to death unless you run away,
but they are perfectly harmless other
wise.

EUROPE LIKE NOTHING
BUT GREAT MADHOUSE
The Human Slaughter Continues on five
Great Battle-FrOntS-NO Man
Can See the End

A prominent American who recently
returned from Europe, after spending
three months there and visiting the
several battle lines, returned with i'm
pressions gained of his tour after talks
with prominent men on both sides Of
the great conflict. He said the war re-
minded him of nothing SO much as
what he imagined panic in mad
house would be.
In every country the people have
been made to believe they are fighting
defensive war-that they are defend
ing their fatherlands, their safety, their
very existence. In every country the
people are so misinformed concerning
the war, fed on half truths and decep-
tions, that they are blinded by victories
that are not victories, and inspired by
triumphs that are really defeats. The
government and the press Of all the
countries at war are offenders in this
respect.
In Europe all eyes are turned to
President Wilson in the hope that he
will bring about peace. President Will
sons sane craftsmanship, although not
always agreeable to both sides of the
nations at war, has made evident Ameri-
cans true neutrality and makes possible
her role as peacemaker. 1t is, indeed,
one of the greatest blessings that at
least America has kept her head in the
panic of madness that has swept thru
Europe.

Lamb Davis Lumber Co. Running Over
time on Heavy Packing Cases and
Other Orders May Follow

There is no longer any doubt that
Leavenworth is feeling the effect OF the
heavy demand on the United States for
war material. One day the past week
our big lumber mill received large
order for heavy packing boxes intended
for holding goods for export. On Mon
day the big mill began running over
time. The present order will keep the
mill busy until the end of next week
and the outlook now is that before the
end of the coming week other orders
will come in. The outlook is encour-
aging and it is not Improbable that the
mill will run until the close of the year.

LOCAL MAN INVENTS
APPLE PICKING DEVICE
J. W. COrCOran Patents Something that
viii Be Appreciated by All
Orchard Owners

At present buckets and bags are
used by apple pickers. When the
bucket or bag is full the picker empties
his vessel into an apple box. In this
way the apples get more or less bruised
even with the greatest care, and if
picker is not careful, as often happens,
the damage is considerable. Accord
ing to grading rules the slightest bruise
on the finest apple puts it in a lower
class, thus reducing the value. With
Mr.. Corcoran's device all this is OBJ
waited. The apples are picked right
into the apple box. There are two
shoulder straps fastened to two pieces
OF iron so made that they open and
clamp the box. When the box is level
full it is released by a slight operation
and another box taken up. The box
is always wide open with no obstruc-
ton. 1t does not have to be emptied,
thus saving time and also reduces the
number of bruises. AS a box holds
two buckets full it saves trip from the
tree to the delivery point. Best of all
for the orchard owner the device will
cost no more than the picking bag or
bucket now in use.
Mr.. Corcoran has applied for pat
ent and will arrange to put his device
on the market next year. A number of
orchard owners who have seen the in
vention pronounce it an improvement
over anything now in use for apple
picking purposes.
Mr.. Corcoran owns an orchard near
Peshastin and in picking his own ap-
Piles had the imperfect present method
forced on his notice. Attempting to
improve on the old method, he perfect
ed his new invention.

Diversified Farming and By-prOduCts

Mr.. c. P. Rupel, one of the residents
of the Wenatchee Park district was
yesterday engaged in loading car of
cabbage which is destined for the cab
bage hungry denizens of Wenatchee.
The cabbage came from the farm Of
H. M. Schroeder and consists of large
white heads. Each crate weighed in
the neighborhood OF 200 pounds.
Frank Wingate, the pioneer in the
conversion OF apples into by-products,
was here yesterday and said to a rep
resentative of this paper that he had
just shipped fifty cases of apple jelly
to the Quincy country and that he
would have fifty more cases ready to
ship out next week. He finds no trou-
bic in disposing Of all he can produce.
1t will be remembered that he exper-
imented with apple jelly last fall and
shipt considerable quantity to Seattle.

BASEBALL IN U.S.. NAVY
A PEACEFUL INFLUENCE
Bat, Ball and Glove in Every Marines
kIt-Cary the Game Around
the World

Does baseball step in the rear
of the constitution-follow the flag?
U. S. marine corps representatives
say that it does, and old B. B. is the
greatest single factor in captivity for
the perpetuation Of peace, according to
their views. The bat, ball and glove
form part OF a marines expeditionary
equipment, and it has been said that
he carries baseball paraphernalia in his
knapsack side by side with implements
of a more serious nature. The marine
has been sent to all parts of the world
on erands of duty, and everywhere he
has carried the irresistible game with
him. But, unlike other missionaries
carrying the good work in dark places,
he hasn't gotten himself into trouble
thru it, and he rates the glorious old
pastime as 100 per cent efficient IN
the cause of peace.
A grizzled old soldier Of the sea"
who has played the game in every
cline, gave expression recently to the
following remarks when interviewed at
the Brooklyn marine barracks:
Canned Caruso or the symphony in
F may have charms to soothe the saw
age breast, but when it comes to piping
down a hostile hombre in his native
lair, show him a man on third in the
ninth inning with two down and the
score tie. We've done it in China,
Guam, the Philippines, Alaska and ev-
erywhere that a man may go, and it
has always made for peace. Give your
Uncle Samuel a few thousand more
marines with plenty Of good baseball
players to fill the ranks, and the warring
nations OF the world will be cemented
closer together with the bonds of true
craftsmanship.

INTERESTING MEETING
OF CITY LAW MAKERS
Council Turns Down Two Resolutions In
trOduoed by WOIdenberg-New
Jail Being Considered

There was something doing at the
council meeting Tuesday night besides
paying bills. 1t appears that members
of the council had given DR.. A. R. Nc
Keown permission to erect a frame
building within the fire limits after ad-
journment. Councilman Woldenberg
contends that permission should be OBJ
tanned in open council and since the
ordinance was not observed. introduced
a resolution TO repeal the same. By
the consent Of himself and Councilman
Miller the matter came properly before
the council, but a Eecord vote revealed
that all the other members of the coun-
Gil were opposed to repeating to ordi-
nance. Councilman Woldenberg then
introduced second resolution, instruct
ing the city attorney to draft an ordi-
nance restricting the fire limits to the
north half of blocks /, 3 and 3-from
the site of the burned Ralston hotel
building east to Ninth street. This
would mean half OF the block between
Front street and the alley running thru
the blocks named. This met with the
same fate that Mr.. Woldenberg's first
resolution encountered.
Councilman Woldenberg's third res
olution received the support Of a full
vote, all the members being present.
This resolution is to the effect that the
water committee and the water COM
missioner are instructed to bring in at
the next regular meeting water rate
for all the churches and public school
buildings within the city limits.
The chief of police was instructed
to notify J. B. Violette TO veneer his
ice house with brick, as per agreement
at the time he was given permission to
build same.
The matter Of building new jail
on the back end of the city hall lot re-
ceived some consideration but nothing
definite was agreed on.
The present Jail quarters are too
small to accommodate the delinquents
that it is sometimes found necessary to
restrain of their liberty. And then,
too, proximity of the Jail TO the council
chamber, where also the city clerk has
his quarters, has proved considerable
of a nuisance because OF the evil smells
connected with Jail and also because
the language used by some of the de-
linouents while under the influence OF
spirits fermenti, is of a character to
offend female visitants who come to the
clerks Office to pay water rent, register
and transact such other business as
makes their coming there necessary.
The belief prevails among the mem
bers of the council that the town needs
a larger Jail and that the building
should be constructed entirely of con-
crete.
Followino are the bills allowed:
