RECORD CROWD GO TO GUN
CLUBS ANNUAL SHOOT
Fine Sport and an Excellent RepaSt--
Some Good Shooting and Long
String of Prizes.

The Leavenworth gun club held its
annual Thanksgiving turkey shoot at
the club grounds on Sunday last, altho
there was quite depth of snow on the
ground, the sun was bright and warm,
and ideal for shooting, which brought
about seventy members and their
friends to the grounds. Trap and rifle
contests were pulled off as long as
glimmer of light remained, Those not
desiring to shoot played games, the
best players getting the turkeys.
An excellent turkey lunch was pro-
vided by J. A. Hearst champion sour
dough cook of Nome, Alasks, assisted
by I. w. Faulkner, our genial towns
man. Charlie Eckhardt deity dismem-
bered the turkeys at the same time
giving a dissertation on carving from
the we'll known book entitled, When
Father Carved the Duck" altogether
it was one OF the most successful shoots
pulled off by the club and enjoyed by all.
At the moment of writing, all the
turkey winners had not deposited their
vouchers at the meat market. The
following are the names OF those who so
far have called for birds.
Those who won two turkeys were
R. Templin John Hartman and L.

Industries Crippled by Laws

The fruit industry at best is noswery
profitable and in many western states
is crippled by foolish restrictive laws.
Growers say they find it almost i'm
possible to make anything growing ap-
Piles and yet we advertise that as one
of our pet industries.
Recently at Tremonton, Utah, a
cider manufacturer received a car load
Of Gull apples and had to pick out
many on account OF worm holes. He
offered to sell them at low prices to
poor people who were glad to come
and get them as they cannot afford to
buy the perfect apples. The local
fruit inspector stopped the sale, hold
ing that the law did not allow the sale
Of imperfect fruit TO the general public.
The Bear River Leader says this is a
foolish gag law and should be repealed
and that such drastic laws have nearly
killed the fruit industry. Growers
should be allowed to sell their apples
without spending as much as the crop
is worth to make the package attractive
to millionaires.
In Oregon similar fool law prevents
manufacturing jellies from the wastage
and windfalls Of the orchards, and jel-
lies are bought in the east. There the
apple growers have not so many fool
laws invented by soft-handed college
graduates who never work for a living
at any industry.

THE BOOZE QUESTION HAS
ANOTHER INNING TUESDAY
Council Is PetitiOned to Put Restrictions
on the Sale of Alcohol -0rdi-
nance is introduced

The city council held its regular
meeting Tuesday evening with four
members present, Hale, Reynolds, Mil
ler, Snyder and Kugelman and Mayor
Day presiding.
After roll call, reading of minutes
and auditing bills City Marshal Teshera
presented the report he had been in
structed to make on the sale Of alcohol
by druggists. Mr.. Teshera says the
books at Wheeler's drug store show
18 prescriptions filled and IS sales of
alcohol for mechanical purposes. At
Koerner's there were 140 sales of alco-
hol for mechanical purposes. This
covered a period Of % days.
The prohibition law puts no restric-
tions on the sale OF alcohol for mechan-
ical or scientific purposes. To remedy
this obvious defect petition was cir
culated asking council to pass an or
dinance that would require a permit
signed by the city clerk and the police
Judge for each sale made. When pre-
sented to council the petition con-
tanned 200 names.
Council looked with favor on the pc
ton and an ordinance which had been
prepared by City Attorney Nelson was
given its first reading, 1t provides a
fine for both buyer aad seller for the
first offense and Jail sentence for the
second disregard of its provisions.
An agreement from the Tumwater
Light & Water Co. to furnish the street
lights for the coming year at $125 per
month was accepted. Any additional
lights authorized by council will cost
80 per month extra.
A building permit was issued to
Ross Irwin. the laundryman.
The dog nuisance came up again
and old Towser, mans truest an best
friend, was kicked aroun' by every
one present. Some plan will be car
ried out to restrict his freedom and
keep him off the streets and other peo-
pies premises, and make him a good
dog.

.FIREMAN DAHMS KILLED IN
HEADON COLLISION DRYDEN
Mail Train No. 1, Three Hours Late, Hit
BY an East Bound Freight at
4:45 Friday Afternoon

Passenger train No. l, due here at
Q p. m. was running three hours late
last Friday afternoon and trying to make
up lost time. Engineer Oakly Algren ,
a veteran at the throttle, was in charge.
He was running on a clear order for
Dryden, and you may be sure he was
stunned when the headlight Of loco
motive shot into view when he ap-
preached Dryden. He threw on the
air, gave an alarm whistle and went
out thru the window. His fireman on
the opposite side had already gone thru
the window on his side of the cab.
The east bound freight. with Engin-
eer Carl at the throttle. should have
taken the siding at Dryden, but thot
he could make the next station and
took the long chance. He hit the
passenger engine just east OF the sta
ton. When he saw the headlight oil
No. he went out thru the window
after throwing on the air break. Fire
man Dahms was not so fortunate. He
jumped but was covered with wreckage
from the train and killed. Mr.. w. o.
Atwood who was on No. ! on his way
home from Wenatchee says the impact
when the trains struck was quite severe
and shook everybody up. No one
was injured in the train.
The two engines were considerably
damaged and some five or six freight
cars loaded with shingles and lumber
were wrecked and the contents scattered
along the track. The track was cleared
by the following morning and traffic
resumed.
Fireman Dahmsl was a new nan,
having taken employment with the G.
N. in August last. He was of German
birth and about "a years old. He had
a young wife who made her home IL
Leavenworth. - saas sd
Funeral services over the body o
Hans Dahms was held in the Lutheran
church Monday afternoon. and the
body laid at rest in the local cemetery

Community Program

The second community program
given last Friday was decided success.
1t was opened by Mrs. Carter with two
vocal numbers; At Dawning by Cadman
and The Star by Rogers. Following
this were two violin numbers by Miss
Snyder accompanied by DR.. Briggs,
the Grieg number being especially
enjoyed. Mrs. lie Gros, whom we
always enjoy, gave a fine dramatic
reading, The Love Story OF Pauline
Pavlowa. Her reading was made doubly
effective by the playing Of the Destiny
Waltz thruout the number. Her
graciously given encores were enthus-
iastically received. Mrs. Carter gave
second group Of songs, verv well
rendered, and as an encore gave one
OF her own composition. Miss Elizabeth
Nicholas ended the program with a
Schumann number which was so much
enjoyed that she gave popular selec-
ton, The Dancing Doll which was
daintily rendered. The date for the
next program will be Thursday Decem-
Der IA. The community is showing
BY its ready response its appreciation
OF the efforts OF Mrs. Carter TO bring
before the people only the best in
uusic

Daniels with his family started home in
the sleigh OF M. o. Van Brocklin, a
neighbor. They reached the Mcdaniel
home and had gotten out of the sleigh
before they noticed that the house was
on fire. 1t was too late TO save any
thing. The whole inside was seethlng
mass of fame and had evidently been
burning for some time. Among the
contents was fine piano and violin
over two hundred years old, valued at
$500. Mr.. Mcdaniel is quite mu-
sician, plays on several instruments and
teaches music as a profession. He
has taught the Leavenworth kid band

What Will Happen Afterwards

The political campaign is thing ot
the past, but the problems of the Un
tied States are things of the present
and future.
Recently the submarine freighter
Deutschland" appeared in New Lon
don, Connecticut, with $40, 100000
worth of goods from Germany.
When Germany can send US goods
under such circumstances as these,
what will she not do when the war is
over and her ships are free to traverse
the ocean without let or hindrance.

Injured in Runaway
empty seats,

l.. C. Bradshaw, a farmer re.
siding six miles Southwest Of

juries Tuesday morning when
his team ran away throwing him
to the ground.

mate hope for his recovery. He
was conscious part of the time
