A FATAL ACCIDENT ON R.R.
TRACK LAST FRIDAY NIGHT
w. n. Studebaker Killed and f. II. AhIin
Badly Injured Standing on Rail
Hit BY String of Flats

Last Friday night, shortly altar IL
o'clock, Studebaker and Ahlin, en-
ployed in the car inspection depart
ment OF the Great Northern, went out
to meet an incoming train and thought
lessly stood on one OF the numerous
sidings in the G. N. yard waiting for
the train to come to a stop. 1t was
dark and both carried lanterns, which
makes it harder TO see dark moving
object unless very near by. The
switching crew had started string of
fiat cars down the track on which they
were standing and hit both men, knock
ing them down and passing over them.
Ahlin had one arm severed just below
the elbow and was severely bruised
about the body and face. Studebaker
had an arm and shoulder blade broken
and was internally injured. Both men
were at once taken to the Emergency
hospital and everything that medical
skill could do was done. Ahlin's lac
Grated arm was amputated about two
inches below the elbow joint. Stude-
bakers wounds were dressed at once
but in his weakened condition amputa-
ton was delayed until the following day.
He was kept alive until Sunday about
noon, when he died. Funeral services
were held in the Methodist church
Tuesday and the remains laid to rest
in the Leavenworth cemetery, under
the direction OF the Cascade Under
taking Company.
Mr.. Ahlin is slowly recovering from
his burts but is considered to be in a
fair way to get well. He has been in
the employ OF the company for many
years and is considered trustworthy
reliable man. Mr.. Studebaker came
here from Wenatchee eleven years ago
and had been in the employ OF the
railroad company for over nine years.
He was we'll known and universally re-
spected by all who knew him. He
was 48 years old and leaves wife and
three small children.

For County Treasurer on the Demo
cratic Ticket

A. J. Amos, an old time citizen of
the Wenatchee valley, has filed for
county treasurer on the democratic
ticket and will make an active canvass
for the nomination. Mr.. Amos lived
in Wenatchee for a number Of years
and eight or nine years ago removed
to ranch near Dryden where he owns
a valuable apple orchard which he is
coaxing into the bearing stage. Mr..
Amos is a good citizen and no one
questions his ability. The burning
question is are there enough democratic
votes in Chelan county to elect him.
The present Wenatchee postmaster
"inviggled'' enough republicans to
twice elect him county treasurer, and
Mr.. Amos, very artlessly says What
was once done can be done again.

Oh, Ye Bear Hunters, Avaunt

Mr.. ]. H. Osborne, superintendent
Of Leavenworth's public schools, went
up the Icicle river, about three
miles from town, Monday evening
after school closed, and ran across a
bear and killed it. 1t was about a year
old and weighed approximately 120
pounds, and was as fat as pig, if that
is a permissible comparison. Every
summer from one to hall dozed bear
are killed by Leavenworth hunters.
Now Mr.. Osborne is not professional
bear hunter but great lover of out
door exercise and sport and spends all
his spare time on the hills. He is
also something OF dog fancier and has
two or three Airedales and hound or
two. The dogs accompanied him on
his hunt Monday and had their part in
getting the bear. The proof of
the pudding is in the eating,
says the proverb, and if you want to
see the bear go and ask Mr.. Eckhart,
at the Leavenworth market. This is
the third bear this season tho bear
hunters have been out nearly every
day since last spring, there being no
closed season on bear.

CIV. fIIinger Going to California

c. w. Ellinger, a resident OF the
Upper Wenatchee valley for the past
twelve years, has sold his place on the
south side of the river to L. w. Cowles,
of Pomona, California. Mr.. Ellinger
left for the southern country about six
weeks ago and his wife and son will
leave this week to join him. In the
exchange Of property Mr.. Cowles comes
into possession OF the 80 acre tract OF
land on the south side of the river. Mr..
Ellinger was one of the most progress
siye ranch owners in the Upper We
neatchee valley. We say progressive,
because Mr.. Ellinger always endeavor-
ed to produce the best of everything
adapted to this particular locality. He
succeeded, too. His cantelopes and
melons were always in demand. because
they were just little better. His
vegetables also were the best sold in
this market. He was progressive in
that he introduced newer and better
varieties of fruit. Where he got them
or their name, we do not know, but he
sold the finest grapes that ever came
to this market. His peaches and ap-
ples were unsurpassed. He was a use

lul and valuable citizen and we regret
to see him go away.
In the exchange of property he takes
over from Mr.. Cowles a handsome
home in Pomona and other valuable
property. Referring to the exchange
Of property the Los Angeles Herald oil
Sept. 23 has this to say:
During the last week ]. A. Fitch,
Pomona, consumated three important
real estate deals. L. w. Cowles, Po-
mona, exchanged his home at 788
North Carey avenue, together with
property in The Hutchinson's subdivis-
ion on Bradford street. for an eighty
acre ranch near Leavenworth, Wash
ington, owned by C. w. Ellinger The
consideration involved was $4,000.
Mr.. Cowles, who will take possession
of the Ellinger place spent some time
here last spring and was highly pleased
with the outlook and the prospect fol
future development in the Upper We
natchee valley. With his family he is
expected to arrive here this fall to
make his home.

MONEY HAD TO BE RAISED
TO MEET APPROPRIATIONS
And the North Pays the Freight
Congress SsaddIed the Burden on
the Northern States.

Every reader remembers how the last
congress increased the appropriations
and broke the record by appropriating
almost three times as much as any pre-
vious congress ever appropriated be-
fore. Read the following congressional
record on appropriations:
Let the North pay the taxes" is
the slogan Of the Democratic Congress,
recently adjourned. And that slogan
was lived up to. Nothing better illus
trates that than the munitions tax,
carried by the Kitchen bill, now law.
AS that bill was originally passed by
the House, it levied a heavy tax upon
the manufacturers of munitions, but
coupled with the munitions tax was a
special tax on the production of cop
per. The theory of the House was
that copper enters largely into the
manufacture of munitions, and as the
copper producers haye been reaping
large profits during the past year, they
also should be taxed.
When the bill got to the Senate,
there was an uprising against the cop
per tax. Why said the Democratic
senators from Montana and Arizona
big copper producing states should d
copper be taxed while steel iron, lead,
zinc and cotton, which enter into the
manufacture of munitions quite as
much or more than copper, go un-
taxed7" The question proved en-
barrassing, and it took the Finance
Committee three weeks to find the
answer. When the answer came, the
Senate distributed the copper tax to
cover iron, steel, lead, zinc and cotton.
That was shock to the senators
from the cotton growing states OF the
south. They would never consent to
a tax on cotton, not even on cotton
entering into the manufacture of ex-
plosives. So the south, as represented
in the senate, got together, decided to
eliminate the entire tax on raw materials,
but to disguise their hand, let Senator
Ashurst OF Arizona make the motion in
the senate. This he did, and out went
the tax on raw materials, including the
tax on cotton from the south, on lead
and zinc from Missouri, and steel and
iron from Alabama. And all that was
left was the tax on munitions, which
are manufactured exclusively in the
north.
But we must make up for this loss
of revenue in some way" said Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, chairman
of the finance committee. Sure"
replied his committee, and straightway
the income tax, 90 per cent of which
is paid in the north and west, was
given another boost.
All OF which merely illustrates how
the south, which is in control, manip-
ulates the present democratic congress.

Tax Levy and City Budget

The council met in special session
last evening and decided that $l0,-
8o5.80 would be required to pay the
city's expense bill for the year 1917.
This is $1,577.2l less than the 1916
budget, which was $12,473.01. For
1916 the city levy amounted to even
20 mills. This year it is cut to 1712
mills. Both the budget and the tax
levy indicates that the council has de-
termined to ease up on the taxpayer.
The difference is not much, but at
least it is in the right direction.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 9,
FIRE PREVENTION DAY
One Sensible Movement That Deserves
0bSevatiOn-PraCtiCal Observance
Will Prevent Great Loss

We have all sorts of special days set
aside for particular purposes. Mothers
Day, Fathers Day and lot Of other
foolish days. Every right thinking
man and woman knows that fathers
and mothers day is every day in the
year. The man or woman who does
not honor his father and mother every
day is fit only for treason, strategems
and spoil, and deserves to be cast into
outer darkness.
In fire Prevention day we serve every
living and moving thing. We have
too many fires. The insurance com
panies are responsible for most of them.
Perhaps not the companies but over
Jealous agents who insure property be-
yond its worth. II all fire insurance
was abolished by law fires would dimin-
ish one-half. The wicked man would
have no object in settiong fire to his
house and tbs careless man would take
more precaution to prevent fires.
Still, we can do some good, perhaps,
next Monday if we examine our Chin
neys and stove pipes. We can pre-
vent fires by removing something from
the stove pipes that was placed too
close during the past summer. We
can caution the children about fire; we
can arrange our fire fighting appliances,
such as hose, buckets and ladders, so
that il fire breaks out no time will be
lost in hunting something to put it out.
The prudent housewife can do more
next Monday than anybody else be-
cause she occupies the home and
knows the danger, expense and incon-
venience caused by a fire. If you can
not do the things necessary to do to
prevent fire do not rest until the man
OF the house makes preparation against
an outbreak.
No where does the old saw about an
ounce Of prevention apply with so
much force as right here. Gov. Lister
adds this in his fire day proclamation:
''And l earnestly urge and recon-
mend that on that day all public build
ings, factories and homes in the State
of Washington be thoroughly cleaned
of any rubbish accumulations they may
contain; that wiring and fues be ex-
amined for flaws and any flaws found in
them corrected; that fire filing appar-
atus be examined carefully for defects
and deteriorations and placed in first
class condition; that fire drills be held
in schools, factories and other places
where such drills are not regularly es-
tablished, and that programs be arrang-
ed in the public schools Of the state,
and BY civic and other organizations to
the end that the widest possible pub
licity be given the subject and real ed
ucational progress made along the line
of preventing fires and fire loss."
