lated enlistment all over the country.

REWARD IS OFFERED
BY THE CITY COUNCIL
Fines Will Be Split $3.50 in Gambling
and BOOtIegging Cases With Per-
son furnishing Evidence

All members were present at the
regular meeting Of council Tuesday
evening except Snyder and Wolden-
burg.
Bills amounting to S498. 80 were al
lowed and ordered paid.
The matter Of painting the city hall
suggested at a previous meeting, after
some discussion, was laid over.
The city Jail, the building of which
was begun last fall, received the finish
ing touches Tuesday and was inspected
and approved by the council.
There is a section in the west end Of
town in which the drainage is very
bad and VIM. Moon was given the
contract Of putting in five culverts OF
an adequate size to'carry off the water.
DR.. A. R. McKeown was given a
permit for the new brick building he
is having erected on Front street. He
also asked permission to take up the
old board walk in front of the building
and replace it with cinder. After this
settles he proposes to top it with ce-
ment. This request was also granted.
The following motion was passed al
ter some discussion:
Fifty per cent Of each fine will be
given to the person furnishing evil
dence leading to conviction for unlaw-
full sale Of liquor or gambling in Leav-
enworth, or that, a minimum reward oi
$50 be paid for evidence leading to
conviction for each case of unlawful
sale of liquor in Leavenworth."
This gives some local Sherlock a
rare chance to make some easy money.
If the empty bottles that have been
picked up in the past three months are
any criterion there must have been
barrels of liquor sold in this community
since the ban was put on booze.

frost Damage in Upper Valley Light

Mr.. and Mrs. M. w. Starks were in
Leavenworth Wednesday. Speaking to
MI. .Starks, who is one OF the largest apple
growers in the Upper Wenatchee valley,
he said in regard to the frost Of the
first three nights this week: Il do not
think the damage is serious. l have
made an examination in my orchards
and so far as I can judge at this time
the damage is negligible. Perhaps it
may have made thinning unnecessary.
Guy Stage, another of the old apple
growers of the Peshastin valley, said to
a representative of this paper one day
this week that he did not think the
frost damage would amount to enough
to take into consideration.
]. Fred Wright of the Wright & Day
ranch, two miles east OF Leavenworth,
came here Wednesday to take the train
for Seattle. Speaking OF the frost dam
age the first three nights this week,
which gave some cause for apprehen-
sion, he said: Our trees are not yet
in the full bearing stage, expecting
only about two thousand boxes this
year. We do not think the frost has
done any damage in our orchards, with
the exception, possibly, of the cherry
trees, of which We have only few for
domestic use. l do not think the frost
has done any damage. The apple
trees are of course the principal things
with US and they have not suffered, in
my judgment"

Officers in charge of state road camps
where honor convicts are employed re-
port that this class Of labor is growing
shorter every month since the dry law
went into effect and by midsummer
they expect all convicts now employed
on road work will be entitled to be re-
leased. AS their places are not being
filed by others it will become neces-
sary TO employ free labor in this work.

THREE STATE CON-
VENTIONS IN A WEEK
Democrats, ProgreSSives and RepubIi-
Cans-Meet, Adopt Platforms
and Name Delegates

Rarely in the past have three great
political. parties held their conventions
In one week. The democrats met in
Yakima on Tuesday Of last week, the
progressives on Friday in Seattle, and
the republicans on Saturday in Yakima
Adopting platforms and naming dele
gates to the national convention and
presidential electors was the principal
business transacted. Nothing occurred
at either meeting to rivet the atten-
ton of the public.
The democrats had little to discuss
except their own patronage problems,
which they settled by making Hugh
Wallace, who lives in Washington, D.
c., their national committeeman, be-
cause he is close to the national ad-
ministration and controls, all federal
jobs in this state anyway.
The republicans had many interest
ing contests for delegates to the ma
tional convention at Chicago in June.
The delegation will be uninstructed.
and will follow its best Judgment, and
future developments, in determining
how the votes OF this state will be cast
for candidates for the presidential NOM
ination. The delegates at Yakima all
predicted sweeping republican victories
thruout the state this fall.
The progressives practically agreed
that they might as we'll return and join
the republicans, altho expressing a
preference for Roosevelt for president.
Each party adopted state platform,
the democrats simply,endorsing Wilson
and Lister, while thessrepublicans de-
nounced the present foreign policy,
demanded a protective tariff andsother-
wise adhered to the we'll defined prin-
ciples Of the party, including strong
preparedness" plank.
