ChunlstiCk Road Open

County Road Supervisor Parrish was
here the first OF this week and said he
was repairing the bridges on the Chum-
stick road as rapidly as possible, and
making repairs to the road, and would
have the road open for travel by the
last Of this week. He expects to do
considerable work on this road later on
and when he gets thru he thinks it will
be in better condition for travel than it
has ever been before. 1t is necessary
to delay some repair work in order to
allow the earth to dry up so that re-
pairs can be made.

Last Saturday in the United States
senate Senator Sheppard, democrat Of

menaced by a rapidly increasing aris-

constitutional amendment to authorize
congress to purchase land anywhere in
the country, hold, improve, sub-divide

PRINTED REPORT OF
THIS OTY'S FINANCES
Is Misleading and Not Just Beyond
Minor Irregularities in Book
Keeping Nothing Wrong

Readers of this paper will recall a
statement printed in the Wenatchee
World to the effect that Leavenworth's
finances were in bad condition and that
the town was found to be short of cash,
leading to the conclusion that funds
had been misappropriated.
Naturally we took more than usual
interest in the publication of the story
sent out from Olympia, and awaited
the fling OF the report Of the states ac-
countancy expert, VIM. S. Shank, who
was sent here to check up the books
OF the city.
The certified report Of the expert,
on file with City Clerk Brown does not
disclose or charge that any funds have
been misappropriated. 1t is stated in
the report that former City Treasurer
Koerner was creless in his bookkeep-
ing and failed to keep correct ac-
count, and that Cancelled bonds,
warrants, interest coupons and receipts
we're not filed, but were badly mixed
up, making very tedious check. :"
This again from the report, he was
shert in his cash, simply the result of
carelessness. The amounts short,
$50. and $3.50 when his
attention was called to the shortage he
Immediately paid the amount TO the
present city treasurer.
The report then goes on to state
that the city had no right TO exceed
the amount of $4,000 authorized by
vote, in building the city water system.
and that the $4,000 spent in excess
of $44, 900 was spent without author
ity OF law.
The expert also makes the statement
that there was a deficit in 1915 OF
$5,878.62. A careful checking up OF
his report shows that he himself has
made some errors and as matter OF
fact, instead of deficit the receipts
exceeded the expenditures by $185.23.
The total expenditures amounted to
$13,777.35 while the receipts were
S13,o62.58.
Mr.. Shank further states in his re-
port that the indebtedness Of Leaven-
worth is within the legal limit.
The present city treasurer states that
during the past year more than 81 1000
was paid on the city's Indebtedness.
The expert sent here to check up
the city's books went out Of his way to
remark incidentally that the affairs OF
the city were in bad shape when as
matter of exact fact the only statement
made in his report where any wrong
was done is his reference to the treas
urers' method of book keeping. Tho
in this connection he did not find
where the city had lost anything thru
this wrong book keeping. II ne did
he neglected to point it out.

AS public safety commissioner
Coates resumed the tactics that had
marked his administration of public
works. One of his first acts was to
assemble the policemen and make
many promises. About half the 125
officers accepted the Coates bait while.
the other half received it with sus-
picion. Greater success greeted
Coates efforts to line up the 100 fire.
men. He espoused the double platoon
system, providing for two shifts of
firemen instead Of the one then en-
ployed. The double platoon system
was largeley experimental and had
been tried in but two cities of the
country. Over the opposition of the
fire chief the double platoon system
was taken up by Coates and put over
by 700 votes while Coates himself
went down to defeat. The double pla-
toon remained as elegancy of Coates
administration until year later,
when it was repealed by popular vote.
The one years trial cost the taxpay-
ers of Spokane $4,000 besides sowing
discord and hard feeling in the fire
department that has taken two years
to quiet down.

MANY TOURISTS
ARE EXPECTED
More Auto Tourists Than Ever
Before Will Visit Northwest
This Summer.

More automobile tourists will visit
the Northwest this summer than ever
before, in the opinion Of Charles H,
Davis, president of the National High
way association. Impetus to touring
the great states of Minnesota, North
Dakota and Montana, he says, is being
furnished by the Yellowstone Park
sociability excursion over the Ma
tional Park highway.
According to the well known road
advocate, motorists who wish to see
Yellowstone Park by automobile will
never have better opportunity to do
SO. The novelty of sleeping in q
palatial hotel train such as will be
operated by the Northern Pacific rail
way, and eating aboard dining cars
is one that hordes of motorists will
take advantage Of.
Mr.. Davis, in letter to w. w.
Smith of Fargo, N. D., president of
the National Park Transcontinental
Highway association, says he will
participate in the coming tour to
Gardiner, Yellowstone Park entrance
if such a thing is possible.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Smith and other
members of the committee in charge
are making preparations for staging
the event. He says that applications
for entry blanks are coming in at a
remarkable rate. The number Of cars
to be permitted on the tour will be
limited, and applications enrolled in
the order received.

it soon became apparent that the
foreman, timekeepers, and even the
common labor were selected with a
view Of perpetuating Coates in office.
This political activity in the public
works department under Coates grew
so apparent in the early summer of
1913 that three members Of the cOun-
Gil voted to GUST him and order his

der the new charter in 1911. He was
a pioneer resident Of the city and
had been affiliated with organized Ia
Dor for generation. Farley was Of
a conservative turn and refused to
support the socialistic fads of Coates.
This called forth the opposition of
Coates organization, and the central
labor council, under the domination
of Coates, at different times resoluted
in denunciation Of Farley. After

INDIAN LEGEND
Of GRAY WOLF
Song and Story Current Among
the Red Men as Told by A.
MEG. Beede.
THE SONG OF THE
OLD GRAY WOLF

OLD GRAY WOLF
This is a song and story current
among the Indians Of the Dakota ma,
ton. Indians say of the gray wolf,
G"He is the chief of hunters. He
knows what he wants, and when he
gets it he is glad. Indians learned
to be good hunters by watching the
methods of the WOLF"
They tell the following legend:
"A band of gray wolves gliding
across the prairie from the west
came to the Missouri river They
swan across the river and went. on
ward gleefully. But there was one
old wolf who was too old and weak
to swim the stream. When the other
wolves had disappeared from sight
this old wolf sat down and looked
away across the river. He thought
of the strength and cunning which
had formerly been his, but which now
had gone from him. As he unused
upon his past life and the near ap-
proach of the end Of his career he
sang with a mans voice the following
song:
All Ger the earth I've roamed,
I've journeyed far and wide;
I'm nothing, nothing now.
I'm nothing, nothing now.
Missouri river, flow,
j Thou sacred water, flow. .
My spirit haste and go;
Pm nothing, nothing now;
I'm nothing, nothing now.
Sometimes an old Dakota sits on a
hill by the Missouri river and as he
muses. upon his experiences of life
he sings the song of the old gray
wolf.
