and she was called into the room to
solve the mystery.
When the letter was read to the
young lady, who, by the way, seems
tc ut very Well intoN the description
she blushed a deep scarlet and tried
to hide her bushes in her hands, ali
the while laughing uproarlously. She
denied any knowledge of the letter
and said she could not explain how
her address could be used. She went
on to threaten in a terrible manner
and her eyes fiashed-that If anything
at all was said about it in the papers
here, she would go the extreme limit

that she did not weigh 160 pounds,
but 165.
Two very downcast and discouraged
reporters sneaked back to the Office
to get the usual calldown for not land

solution to the mystery they had to
o11er was that young lady, formerly
Miss Ruth N. Paine, now Mrs. Victor
A. Ibach, who lived at the house,
might have written the letter in her
single days. Mrs. Ibach was married
last summer, however and the letter
was not received in Los Angeles until
January of this year, so they doubted
whether 1t would be fair to drag Mrs
Ibach's name into the limelight

the letter and would lose her happy

carefully away. To-day, however,
when the Ibachs made their charges
and threatened to take the matter

"R. N. p" Letters Pouring In
According to Mrs. Ibach, for several
weeks letters have been pouring in at

Miss "R. N. P"

All of these letters bear postmarks
of towns on the Pacific coast, prin-
cipally Los Angeles Mrs. Ibach's
maiden name was Ruth n. Paine.
Naturally, she thought when the first
letter arrived. that the mail was for
her. Upon picking the letter up, how

From that time on, according to
Mrs. Ibach, Miss Effie Snyder has CON

has claimed at least score of letters
bearing the "R. n. p" address.
In addition to letters, numerous pic
lures of men have come through the
mail and parcel post to the same ''R.

upon by Miss Effie. the Ibachs assert.

Returned With Better Opinion
of LeayenwOrth

Mr.. VIM. Mcintosh returned Tues
day afternoon from his trip to the San
Francisco exposition. He says he Wis
tied not only many towns and cities in
California, but also took in a goodly
portion of Oregon during his two weeks
vacation. Of one thing he returned
fully convinced-that Leavenworth is
just about as good in every way as any
town he saw in his travels. A large
portion of California, be says, looks to
him as if it was dried up and covered
with dust. As for business, we have as
much or more to the square inch than
any town he visited, and says so long
as we are doing as well or better than
most of them We have no room for
complaint.

SPOKANE MEN AFTER
WHITE PINE STUMPAGE
If Deal is Closed Extensive Logging viii
Be Done in Lake WenatChee
Region This Winter

From Wenatchee lake residents who
were here this week on business, we
learn that parties from Spokane have
gone to the lake with a view of deter
mining how much white pine timber
there is in the vicinity of lake Wenat-
chez. If the supply of logs is sufficient,
which old timers say are abundant, a
contract will be entered into with the
owners to put the logs in the Wenat-
chez river this winter and next spring
float them down to the Chiwaukum
bridge and there load them on Great
Northern cars for shipment to Spokane.
White pine of very superior quality
is quite plentiful on White and Little
Wenatchee river, and as this class Of
logs is in demand for making finishing
lumber it is quite possible that trade
will be made.

ONE THOUSAND CARS
HANDLED EVERY DAY
That is the Great Northern Record at
the LeayenwOrth Terminal at
the Present Time

What with the Panama Canal closed
and the great movement Of fruit and
grain, the Great Northern railway is do
ing a record business these days. APP
proximately one thousand freight cars
are handled out Of the yards here every
day. The local trains usually take out
from fifty to sixty-fve cars, but the thru
trains seldom move with less than a
hundred cars. All train crews, includ-
ing the extras, are working full time.
This condition is attributed to the
wheat and apple crops which are now
moving and also to the big landslide in
the Panama canal, which will block
traffic for the next three months. The
poultry shipments, going by express
are unusually heavy. The movement
OF lumber is also on the increase. Never
before in the history Of the road has the
freight business been better. Passen-
ger traffic, while not so heavy as in the
past, is quite satisfactory.

Francis Murphy Killed Trying
to Ride BrakCbUdm

Tuesday morning between one and
two o'clock the railroad yard crew
heard a noise as of something dragging
or grinding under one OF the cars and
on making an investigation found the
body Of man who had evidently at
tempted to get on a brakebeam-a
common way drifters have of getting
out of town. The man was taken out
and, tho yet alive. was badly broken
up. One leg was broken and there
was cut on the head and other inju-
ries. He was put on a stretcher and
sent to the Wenatchee hospital at two
o'clock. Later information is to the
effect that he died about four hours
afterward. In indistinct whispers the
man gave his name and address as Fran
els Murphy, Center street, New York
city. There was unmistakable evidence
that he was under the influence Of
LIQUOR.

thru the mediation OF ]. w. Elliott.
Messrs. Charles Fox and Lee Hover
ton take over from VIM. Payne what is
known as the Stephens ranch, north
east of town about two and half miles.
This is considered one Of the finest
stock ranches in the western part OF
the county. 1t is our understanding
it will be developed by the new owners
who contemplate putting on the ranch
a fine herd Of dairy cows, for which
use it is well suited. There is a fine
running stream of water, lots Of out
range. considerable hay land and a
good barn. In part payment Mr..
Payne received some town property.
