THIS AFTERNOON

The opening game in the Trolley
League will be played this afternoon
on Quimby field, .Hallowell will be
the victim, is the way some of the
boys put it. For ourselves we say that
in order for the above to be true
Gardiner will have to go some. The
game on Thursday, however, proved
that they can do just that thing and
the game is sure to be of interest.
Game called at 3.45. Everybody turn
out and give the boys a good sendoff

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1916-09-08

Mr.. Lloyd E. Candy, candidate for
congress in this, the Fifth district, has
come out squarely for prohibition, and
says if elected he will endeavor to have
nation wide prohibition law passed.
While he favors a tariff commission TO
study all phases OF the tariff question
he favors the republican principle Of
protection, and especially protection
for the new industries that have grown
out OF war conditions, such as the man
ufacture of dye stuffs in America and
protection of the American working
man who will be threatened by the
cheap European goods after the war is
over. He also favors universal military
service.

ROLLED WHEELS SPUN,
 SKY THE LIMII.


 There wero several things at the Enks sourd9ugh % Festival last night that were remarkable for their misrepresentation of the good old days of the green cloth.
 First, the games closed early this morning. Never, in the old days.
 Second. the dealers were about as stingy n bunch of tight-wads as ever made the Indian on a one cent piece scream from tight grip-they never "set 'em up" once during the play.
 Fiercel
 Then again, 1t just shows that a great bunch of the fellows have for gotten how to deal and many could not even stack two chips
 And again, 1t is good thing that the women present did not Init the games" in the old days, for If they had-many a bank would have been busted.
 Great Acesl how same of those women did play. The combinations they worked on the roulette table even made the marble jump with the razzle-dazzle.
 And at the crap game, talk about orollin de bones." old Elijah would have proven q pikor if he had wit messed the wrist twists and the shouts of women when the bones did come, and tried to have butted in.
 It was a noisy bunch, too. A stock exchange in the closing hours would have been @ grave yard. Ev- erybody wanted to play at once, and strange to say, everybody had the coin to play.
 Anyway, everybody had a great time. It furnished an evening for the pent up sporting blood to gush forth.
 When the final cash-ins were made Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs. Duberstein and George Simpkins had pulled down the prizes for the evening for the largest winnings.

Another proof that The Empire is read everywhere in Alaska came to light the other day. William Britt Norwegian vice-consul at Juneau, re. gently got a request from the Nor wegian government to ascertain the whereabouts of a subject of King Haakon. Mir. Britt requested The Empire to make mention of the cir cumstance, and Co request that the missing man communicate with him. It was not even known that the sought for individual was in Alaska.
 In due course the subject of Nor. way communicated with Mir Britt. He was serving sentence in the federal jail on Q conviction for selling liquor to Indians.

BIG MINE FACES A
 PROSPEROUS YEAR

The Gold Bullion Mine. in the Willow Creek gold camp. enters the season of 1916 with the promise of the banner yield of its history. This will be possible because of the install Iation Of five additional stamps, in. creasing the capacity to twelve stamps. A new sawmill has been installed, with O capacity of three thousand feet of lumber per day. A force of twenty-two miners and oth- CT worlsmen are employed now, and everything is in fine shape for the opening of the seashon. The ore re. serves opened indicate that the mill will be pushed to its capacity to handle the output.
 J. L. McAllen. of the Gold Bullion. mine. arrived in town yesterday from Willow Creek, to meet officials of the company who were passengers on the Farragut. Mir. McAllen is a mining engineer, and originally halls from Portland. Ore. He is register ed at the White House.-(Cook In. let Pioneer.)
