Last Basket Ball of Season

In a spectacular game on the home
court last Friday night the local high
school defeated the Wenatchee high
school by score Of IS to As and won
the undisputed championship of the
valley. The Wenatchee boys were
completely outclassed at all stages Of
the game. Time and again the Leav-
enworth guards would take the ball
from center and clever forward shift
would give Wunder or Fitzpatrick an
open shot before Wenatchee would real
ize that the play had started. w. Wun-
der and Andersen played great game
at guard and allowed the Wenatchee
forwards only four goals. Wunder is
without doubt the best defense man
playing high school ball in the valley.
Andersen was moved from forward to
guard this year and played strong de-
fensive game as well as working the
floor we'll in the offensive play. Capt.
McNett, playing the pivot position,
has been the star center Of all the high
school games. In fact, Gellatly was
the only man able to take the tip-off
from him. Roswell thinks that there
should be a law prohibiting a man Of
Gellatly's height from playing center
anyway. McNett hopes to continue
his athletics in college and We hope to
hear from him later. Fitzpatrick, play
ing his first season as a regular, showed
great speed and cleverness. With his
speed and natural basket-shooting abil-
ity Joe should develop into a really
great forward. L. Wunder, the midget
forward, was the star point-getter Of the
team. Leonard can always be depend
ed on to play strong game against
any opponent and at any time. He is
a dead shot at the basket and will slip

WILL THE RAILROAD UP
ICICLE RIVER BE BUILT
Parties Are Now in the East Trying to
Arrange for its Construction
This Summer

Answering the interrogation in the
caption it can only be said that the
owners Of the mining property on the
head Of the Icicle river are now in the
east endeavoring to arrange for the
building OF the road. On the best of
authority we can say that Mr. Van Epps
with other parties left Seattle last week
for New York and hopes to arrange for
the building Of the road before they
return. On account Of the unusually
severe winter nothing can be done in
the mountains before the last of May
or first Of June. By that time Mr.. Van
Epps expects to return and will be in a
position to give out definite news as to
the plans Of the mining company.

THE TAX ASSESSOR AND
FRUIT TREE STATISTICS
Orchard Owners Can Help Him to Oh
tain Valuable Statistical
information

Mr.. Jay Buttles began this week
taking the 1916 tax valuations. He
remarked incidentally that orchard own
ers could greatly facilitate his work and
incidentally save themselves much
time by making an approximate sched-
ule Of their fruit tree acreage, the age
Of the trees and the variety Of apples or
other fruit trees. He is required not
only to take the acreage Of each owner,
but also the ages Of the trees and the
variety OF the fruit This not only reg
ulates the value OF the fruit acreage,
but at once establishes just how many
trees are in the bearing stage and how
many Of each variety there are in the
county.
This will be valuable statistical in
formation and useful to the sellers and
buyers OF apples and other varieties oil
fruit, and may have much to do with
regulating the price. In other words,
q crop estimate can thus be arrived at
with a much greater degree Of GER
tainty. Thus: After the assessment is
completed the number of acres Of
bearing trees in Chelan county will
then not be based on guess work.
Knowing the number OF bearing trees,
and their age, it will then be possible
to make very close estimate Of the
total box yield. The importance Of
this information should be evident to
orchard owners, and by working in har-
mony with the assessor they can help
to make it reasonably accurate. Make
list OF the varieties Of your trees, their
age and the number Of each variety.

LEAYENWORTH LUMBER CO.
STARTS MILL IN TWO WEEKS
Large Demand for Lumber Anticipated
Shortage in Cars May Delay
Movement

Mr.. F. S. Jacobsen, manager Of the
company, returned last Sunday even
ing from a five weeks trip spent in
Utah and Colorado. where he says the
demand for lumber and boxes is active.
He is quite we'll satisfied with his trip
and expects to start his mill in about
two weeks.
The unprecedented movement Of
freight, both east and west, has caused
a shortage of cars which threatens to
become more acute before the trouble
is overcome by the addition of new
rolling stock on the part of the rail-
roads.
Having carried on logging last fall
and early winter, before the excessive
snow fall came, he is pretty we'll sup
piled with logs and intends to add TO
his stock of logs by resuming logging

he attended the protracted meeting o.
the fruit growers of the lower valley.
He says a basis of cooperation was
finally agreed on and believes that in
the future the fruit growers of the val
ley will not only get better prices fol
fruit by the elimination OF the consign-
ment methods of shipping apples,
which has always had such demoraliz-
ing effect on the market, but hopes
that in the future, by the adoption Of
the cash method of selling apples, the
grower will be very substantially bene
fitted.

Griffin Is Skinned
 By Web Covington

Really some one should have spoken to Ben Griffin and not have permitted him to go before buzz saw, says the Fort Smith Times Record.
 But, seriously, the prohibitionists made a great killing at the joint de- bate. The address of MT. Griffin was disappointing to his friends. He is travelling over the state ask ing that the saloons be brought back, not as they were two years lago, but as they were fifty years ago, without any restrictions. MT. Griffin spent his entire time defend ing the right of the people to vote upon the question. At no time did he say a word in favor of the saloon or defend the provisions of the i'm bending bill.
 Mr. Covington, of course, spent most of his time in answering the arguments made, and he made the position of MT. Griffin painfully weak and inconsistent.
 The men who brought Mir. Griffin here were clearly swindled. He took occasion to say that he never had signed for saloon license and never expected to do so He said not one word in defense of the men who are trying to bring the saloon back He simply harped on the one question of letting the people vote, and MT. Covington showed clearly that this was pure hypocricy. The prohibitionists are jubilant because they had the advantage in the argument and MT. Griffin was pitiful figure as he tried to reply. He was whipped, and in company with every other man in the house he knew it.
 The crowd was strongly prohibit 1 tionist. There are about 2,000 votes
 in the Fort Smith district and prac- l tically one-half were present yester- day, testifying their approval of the terrible arraignment by MT. Gov | ington.
