Arranging Your Fate.

Many parents become much dis

trade or profession they should Sc

wisdom from Epictetus that may
help solve the problem: First say
TO yourself what you would be; and
then do what you have to do" The
idea Is. you cannot plan your life
from the start II will get its scope
and direction when one begins his
life. What he does Is determined by
what there In to do and what is at
tractive at the time he Is called upon
to act

Boy Burns Face

The twelve year old son of John
Tvedt, of the Cascade orchards, burned
his face quite painfully and severely
last Saturday said his father, who was
in town Wednesday. The fire in the
heater was slow about starting up and
the boy thot to help matters by pouring
kerosene oil into the stove. The heat in
the stove generated gas with the result
that there was an explosion and the
fame shot out into the lads face and
burned his eyebroys and lashes off
and severely burned him about the
face without, however, injury to his
eyes. Mr.. Tvedt says the road to the
orchards is almost impossible.

Destruction of 40O-FOOt Bridge WedneS-
day Near Scenic Further Delays
Opening of the Road

The taking out Of 400-foot bridge
one mile west OF Scenic Hot Springs
Wednesday, about u o'clock, by a
monster slide will further delay the
opening of the road to traffic. Numer-
Gus slides are known to have occurred
Yesterday on both sides of the noun
tains. It is a mere guess when traffic
between Leavenworth and the coast is
reopened. Two trains have crossed
the mountains since Dec. 31st. A
fast mail train crossed the mountains
last Sunday night and the same day a
train of fuel oil came thru from the
west.
Railroad authorities expect to have
the road open inside of week. Two
rotaries left early this morning with
boarding cars and large crew, and it
is believed the road from Leavenworth
to the summit of the Cascades will be
opened by evening. The rumor in
circulation this morning that the Wilson
Creek bridge had washed out. is denied
by the railroad company.

County Roads Almost Impossible

How could it be otherwise with
seven feet OF snow on level and a
new fall Of snow almost every day.
Since the weather turned warmer the
first of this week the roads have be-
come worse. So long as it remained
cold the horses found solid footing but
since it turned warmer they often bog
down and have to be helped to their
feet. Young Mr.. Horey came in from
the Hove ranch on the head of the
Chumstick yesterday and said he was
almost half day coming the nine miles.

WENATCHEE HAS BIG
SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE
Philip Leonard Sues County Engineer
Warren for $10,000-0ne Death
AIready-AnOther Attempted

County Engineer F. A. Warren has
been made defendant in a $4,000
damage suit by P. S. Leonard, vice
president OF the Wenatchee Produce
company and wealthy pioneer. The
cause Of action is alleged alienation OF
the affections of Leonard's wife by the
engineer. The complaint alleges that
for long time prior to January 1915,
while Leonard was still living with his
wife, Warren gained her affections.
The complaint further alleges that
Warren conspired with Mrs. Leonard
to accomplish the deaths of Leonard
and Mrs. Warren. Mrs. Leonard is
IS years old and beautiful. She was
married when but IS years of age, and
has two children, daughter married
to a son OF Conrad Rose, and son.
The parents separated last February.
Warren, who is serving his second
term as county engineer, lost his wife
by death under peculiar circumstances
last year. Leonard narrowly escaped
death twice during the past year thru
explosives placed in his garage.
Mr.. Leonard offered reward of
$4,000 for the apprehension and con-
viction of the would-be murderers, and
employed detectives, but no arrest fol-
lowed.

Ten Dollars an Ounce for Postage

The first settlement on the present
site of San Francisco dates back from
.1776. 1t consisted of Spanish
military post (presidio) and the Fran
ciscan mission of San Francisco de
Asis. In 1886 the settlement Of
Yerba Buena Vista was established in
little cove southeast of Telegraph
Hill. The name San Francisco, how
ever, was applied to all three settle
ments. The United States flag was
raised over the town in 1916, and the
population rapidly increased, reaching
perhaps 900 in 1848. The news Of
the gold discoveries was followed by
crowds of fortune seekers, so that by
the end Of 1858 the city had an esti-
mated population OF 10000. From
that time on San Francisco grew rap
idly. The first regular overland mail
communication with the east was es-
tablished by pony express in 1860, the
charge for postage being IS for half an
ounce. In 1869 the completion Of
the Central Pacific railway to Oakland
marked the beginning of transconti-
mental railway communication.

FIRST ANNUAL MEETING
GUN CLUB LAST SUNDAY
After the Shooting Lunch Was Served
and All Round Good Time
Was Had

One who was there sends US the fol-
lowing report of last Sundays meet OF
the Leavenworth Gun Club:
That nothing can dampen the ardor
Of true sportsmen was fully exempli-
fed last Sunday when score of the
members Of the Gun Club betook them
selves to the club grounds for their
first annual shoot. To open the season
In fitting manner arrangements were
made for a hot lunch. To get to the
grounds it was necessary to break trail
for quite distance thru a bank OF snow
seven feet deep. Here was where one
could fully appreciate the enthusiasm
of the true sport. First in line was w.
Van Brocklin carrying 60-pound box
OF shells on each shoulder. Following
close at his heels came Joe Hearst with
a cookstoye lashed securely on his
back. Next in line was seen Sam
DAILY with a 10-gallon can OF water
perched iauntily on the tip Of shoul-
der. Our genial tax-collector, Charley
Buttles, hearing that "Lifestaf" was to
be tabooed on the grounds, staggered
under huge cauldron of buttermilk.
As c. Eckhardt passed in line it was
easy to infer by his smile of anticipa-
ton that the bulging gunnysack slung
across his shoulders contained things
that were soon to gladden. the stomach
Of the most fastidious. After excavat-
ing some nine feet thru the snow the
trap house was located and cleared,
and squad up!" was called.
The day was ideal for shooting and
a general average OF good scores was
made. Lunch was served at II o'clock
and be it to the eternal glory OF Chef
Jay Buttles and his staff of cooks, the
repast was simply delicious. After the
tables were cleared some of the boys
enjoyed sociable game of cards. To
say that the day was enjoyed by all
puts it mildly. So much enthusiasm
was injected into the meet that mum

FAST MAIL IN THE DITCH
LAST SUNDAY AT MALAGA
Engine and Three Cars Left TraCk-En-
gineer Dean Seriously Injured
Switch Left Open

Last Sunday afternoon at $3.50 the
fast mail, following 43, the first train to
be sent thru to the west since the tie
up last Monday night, Jan. 31st, went
into the ditch at Malaga station, twelve
miles east of Wenatchee. The engine
and first three cars went off the track,
the engine turning over on the side.
Engineer Harry Dean was quite se-
verely scalded, but is not believed to
be seriously hurt. Fireman Hanover
jumped and escaped injury. The cars
that went off the track were loaded
with fast freight, the mail cars remain
ing on the track. The track was
cleared by ten o'clock and an engine
sent from here brought the train to
Leavenworth, arriving by II o'clock
and started on its trip thru the canyon.
Harry Dean, one of the oldest en-
gineers on the road, well known here
where he lived many years, was badly
scalded by escaping steam. He was
rushed to the Wenatchee hospital, suf-
fering intense pain. On Tuesday Of
this week he was resting easier and
considered out of danger. Fireman
Hanover jumped thru the cab window
and while considerably bruised, he es-
capped injury. Two of the mail clerks
were badly shaken up, but not other
wise injured. The engine ran into
two empty fruit cars standing on the
siding and only left the tracks to show
that cars had been there. The fire
man detected the open switch and
called to Dean, then jumped. Dean
threw on the air brakes but too late to
avoid the wreck. E

SOLAR PLEXUS BLOW
GIVEN PUNCH BOARDS
Council Orders Them Cleaned OUT The
Immense of Snow Puts City to
Much Expense

Last Tuesday evening was the regu-
lar meeting night of the city council
but only three members, Featherstone,
Kugelman and Seeley, and Mayor Day
made their appearance. In conse-
quence the meeting adjourned to We'd
nesday evening when one more mem
Der braved the storm. The roll call
then showed FeatherstoLe, Kugelman,
Miller and Seeley present and as four
constitutes a quorum they proceeded
to do business. The session was a
long one and there was heap much
talk' but not much business.
The first matter up was payment Of
bills. There was a stack, as one mem
Der remarked, as high as the snow and
most of them were caused by the SUI
perabundance of snow. Since the first
of January $14420 has been spent for
snow shoveling. AS this must be paid
out of the street and alley fund, and
as that fund has only $593 to its credit,
it leaves very little for street work this
coming summer.
A communication from Mr.. Wolden-
berg was read which asked that he be
excused from attendance at meetings
until he was sufficiently recovered from
his illness to attend. The communi
cation also urges the council to imme-
diately take steps to bring its suit
against Seaman & Quigg.
The bond OF Police Judge Graham
was approved.
The mayor appointed committee
to revise the present license ordinance,
partly to increase the city's revenue
and also to afford some protection to
our home merchants from outside ped
dlers. There will, Of course, be an
upward revision.
At the suggestion Of council the
mayor gave Chief Potter instructions to
notify all those who have punch boards
that they will have to be taken out.
The city's suit against Seaman &
Quigg was next brought up and dis
cussed at some length. 1t was the
opinion Of most of the members that
Nuzum & Nuzum's terms were too
high and that an effort should be made
to secure the services of an attorney
who would take the case on a contin-
gent basis. Something definite will
probably be done at the next meeting.
After several Intellectual attempts a
motion to adjourn was finally carried.

The Eight Cylinder Club Meets

a quarter to eight and departed at.
The early part of the evening was spent
in playing cards. The champion card
players Of the evening were Carl, Nor

About 10:40 the bunch elected Max
as chiei cook and Norman as flunky.
While Max and Norman did the cook
ing Clifford, the renowned tenor, sang
a solo while Harry tried to keep pace
with him by playing something on the
piano that sounded a little like Get
