CITIZENS STILL SUFFER
FROM WATER SHORTAGE
Normal Conditions Promised by Satur'
day-Gang of Men Replacing
Frozen Pipe With New

Shortage of water the past week is
still the greatest trouble Of the house
holder. Southside residents have Jared
tolerably well. For few hours every
day the water from the railway COM
pany's line is turned into the city
pipes, but as this lasts only for short
time and the railway company only
agreed to let the city have so much as
it could spare, the pressure has not
always forced the water to the north
side, where the ground is considerably
higher Still, people have somehow
made out and little complaint is made.
In the meantime the city's water
superintendent is doing all he can to
replace the frozen pipes with new and
hopes TO have the connection made by
tonight, or not later than Saturday.
The new pipes were hauled out or
sleds to within one and half miles o.
where needed and from there they
were dragged on hand sleds. The
work is most difficult and the men en-
ployed have suffered much from the
cold

Musical Talent Organize

The recently organized Leavenworth
Musical Club met Tuesday evening at
the Masonic Temple for the transaction
of business and elected the following
officers:
Mrs. L. c. Brender, president.
M. A. Marley, vicepresident.
F. S. Jacobsen, director.
Miss Bella Mclean, secretary.
Harry Wall, treasurer.
About thirty members were present
and great enthusiasm was evinced over
the prospect Of an early appearance OF
the club in musical comedy. New
music has been purchased and other
arrangements planned to make the
initia, production an unqualified sue
cess. The idea is to stage an enter
tainment about once a month, and
make a grand splash twice year. The
next meeting will be held Tuesday
evening at the Id. clubhouse, when
the rolls will be open to new members.
Further information may be obtained
from the secretary.

High School Forms Dramatic Club

The people of Leavenworth will be
glad TO know that their High school
is again TO be heard from publicly in
the field Of dramatic art. This public
appearance of the local school has come
to have the significance of and to be
looked forward to as an annual affair.
For several years the students have
succeeded in their efforts along literary
lines Of the highest class.
Two years ago they field an orator
ical contest of high merit and last year
appeared in Shakespeare's AS You
Like 1t" in manner that would have
done credit to a professional cast. 1t
has been officially announced that the
young people have something unusual
to offer as their annual public perform
ance this year The talent of the
school however is not confined to lit
erary lines alone, but is musical as well.
The students will therefore combine
their literary and musical ability and
offer one Of the most attractive musical
plays recently published-the opera
Sylvia, a pastoral play in two acts. Its
lyric and bucolic theme offers an abun-
dance of inspiring and catchy choruses,
beautiful solos and bevy of rustic lads
and lasses to sing them. Plans for
elaborate costuming are being carried
out in detail and the staging will be up
to date in every respect. One of the
most notable features of the production
will be the orchestral arrangement of
the entire opera which will bring out
the usual harmony of the musical text.
The patrons of the school have every
reason to expect something worth while
and they will not be disappointed in
Sylvia. Miss Elsie Meier will have
charge of the production in the capa-
city OF musical director and Mr.. Donald
Lancefeld will be business and stage
manager. The date has been set for
April 7th.

DAMAGE TO TREES AND CROPS
BELIEVED TO Be UNIMPORTANT
Blanket of Snow Protected Wheat-Dam
age to Young Trees Reported
Peach Buds May Suffer

The winter wheat crop, under the
snow, is safe from damage by the cold
wave. Tho there is some danger in
February and March. The crop is
large and the plants we'll rooted to
withstand the freezing weather that
sometimes follows an early spring after
the snow is well gone.
Some horticulturists fear that the
peach crop may be cut short by the
freezing weather of January, but it is
yet too early to positively assert that
the peach crop has been killed in the
bud. Apple, pear, cherry and prune
trees are all right and large crop is
confidently predicted for 1916.

Special Meetings Continue

Special meetings still continue at the
Methodist church, every night except
Monday night, commencing at 7:30.
Every man feels that some prepara-
ton of life is necessary for man to be
at his best. Most men have a plan
worked out that looks reasonable. DR..
Torrey's four tests of refuge may
help you to see if your refuge is true
one, or only a refuge Of lies"
First, true refuge must be one that
meets the highest demands Of our own
conscience. Second, does your trust
in your refuge make you better man,
does it help you to stop SHINING? Third,
will it stand the test OF the dying hour2
Fourth, will it stand the test of the
Judgment day7" These tests must be
applied to ones religion, as well as to
any other refuge. Many mans re-
ligion is of so spurious a type, that he
is none the better because Of it. Gen
uine Christianity has proved and is
proving true refuge. Give the gos-
pei chance with your life. This is
worthy of your most earnest thought.
We sincerely desire your presence at
these meetings.
F. L. Moore, Pastor.

EXTREME COLD WAVE
VISITS WASHINGTON
Began first week in IanuaE-ReaChed
Lowest Point Sunday the 18th,
10 to % Below Zero

The cold wave, the first since winter
set in, began the first week in the
month, and on the 9th the thermome-
ter indicated zero weather at number
of points. There was a slight let up
for few days, followed by further
drop which on Sunday, January 10th,
indicated 1712 degrees below zero
here. At Wenatchee it was one or
two degrees colder and in the Okla
hogan, Douglas and Grant county Sec
ton reached a degree of cold indi-
Gated by % degrees below. Monday
morning following it was IS below and
Tueaday liz below, showing that the
extreme point had been passed.
Because in this section there is very
little stock running at large there was
little loss or suffering. In Douglas,
Okanogan and Grant counties, where
there is still range stock, there is re-
port of much suffering and some loss
cattle and sheep.
Farther east, in Montana and the
Dakotas comes the report that the
temperature fell as low as 48 below
with a 80 degree temperature every
where.
In the Waterville country, where the
cold was accompanied by high winds
drifting the snow, railroad traffic was
interrupted, on what is called the
Mansfield branch and the towns along
that line were without mail eight OF
ten days. On the Northern Pacific
branch line from Spokane TO Coulee
City there was an interruption in traffic
tho not as serious as on the Mansfield
branch OF the G. N.
At the same time on the Sound there
was unusually low temperature, rang
ing from 18 above to 10 above, ac-
companied by show, which in some
sections reached a depth of six and
eight inches, with ice on small bodies
OF water from two to four inches in
thickness, making skating possible, a
winter sport not often enjoyed in Puget
Sound region.

was given out from the county audi
tors Office this week and shows a

did any other fund of the county gov
eminent. Warrants aggregating $27o,-
2o8 were paid to this account.

MINING MAN AND WIFE
IMPOSE ON OLD CITIZEN
Secure Half Interest in Valuable Mining
Property at BIewett-C Court
Asked to Cancel Deed

A tale OF doubtful business practice
and the credulity OF man OF 10 is told
in a suit filed in the superior court
Tuesday last in Wenatchee.
Jas. Wilder, Of Cashmere and Blew
EFT, asked the court to quiet title to
six valuable mining claims at the latter
named place.
Joseph Warner, accompanied by a
woman he called his wife, became
acquainted with James Wilder, Of Cash
mere, aged 70. Representing himself
as a prosperous citizen of New York,
and pretending to have $4,000 in
cash which he was anxious to invest,
Warner persuaded the aged man to
give a deed to one-half interest in the
six mining claims, promising to erect a
reduction plant on the properties, ac-
cording to the allegations in the COM
plant.
Wilder further alleges that Warner
not only did not fulfill his promise tc
construct a reduction plant, but instead
disappeared with his mate last Novem'
Der, taking a large quantity OF high
grade ore and leaving unpaid labor
and material bills amounting to $2500
which have been filed as liens against
the claims.
The plaintiff asks the court to canoe
the deeds given Warner.
Both Warner and his wife are wei
known here where they often came tc
buy supplies from our merchants.

Frozen Pipes Cause Range fx'
pIOSiOn

The second explosion of kitchen
range due to frozen water pipes oc-
CURED last Sunday morning at the
home of Lee Howerton. Without ex-
amining his water pipes Mr.. Howerton
started fire in a new range last Sun
day morning with disastrous results.
His wife commenced getting breakfast
for the family and at the time was pre-
pairing batter for the breakfast hot
cakes. She was a few feet from the
stove when with deafening noise ii
literally blew all TO pieces. The lids
went thru the plastered ceiling. One
part OF the range hit the kitchen door
which was torn from its hinges and
thrown out into the yard fifteen or
twenty feet from the house. Some
piece OF the stove hit her on the top OF
the head in such way that It left a
bare place about the size OF silver
dollar as tho the hair had been shaved
off, but beyond stunning her tempo
rarily did no serious hurt. Another
piece hit her on the hip inhicting a
slight wound. She was the only mem
Der of the family in the kitchen at
the time. Mr.. Howerton says the
range cost him $50 a short time be-
fore and after the explosion was moth
ing more than scrap iron. He esti-
mates his loss at $3.50.
