What Ought to Be Done With
Him!

Mrs. E. G. Wheeler is, or was, the
owner of handsome American flag
that was given her as a prize while she
lived in Alaska. In patriotic spirit
Mr.. Wheeler hung the flag out in front
of his store on flag day and neglected
to take it in when he closed up. Dur
ing the night some one in utter dis
regard Of the rights of property, not
having the fear OF the law in mind,
feloniously appropriated that flag. The
base wretch.

INTERESTING STATE ITEMS

Governor Lister and Mayor Hi Gill
of Seattle attended the opening exer-
cises of the West Okanogan irrigation
project last week.
Skagway, Alaska was voted dry re-
Gently. All other Alaska towns re-
NAMED in the wet column.
The big longshoreman's strike on
the Pacific coast begun the first Of
June, came to an end by both parties
agreeing to arbitration last week.
The finest resort hotel in the state
Sol Due Hot Springs was destroyed by
fire last week.
Seattle's preparedness parade on
Saturday last proved to be the biggest
demonstration the city has ever wit
messed, with the possible exception OF
the occasion when the Atlantic feet
was here on its trip around the world.
Representative from all the neighboring
cities and towns and from many more
distant places were in the line OF march.
There is not much question that the
coast cities OF the country at least are
solid for preparedness.
By the latest report OF the industrial
insurance commission total of So
1918 has been paid into the fund
in the four years industrial insurance
has been in force in this state, this
amount coming from contributing
employers. Out of it $3,892,407 has
been paid out on injury claims and
$2,048,422 in pensions to dependents
of workingmen killed in employment.
Thru remarriage OF dependent widows
1888, t25 has returned to the fund that
would otherwise have been paid out.
The accident fund on June carried
a balance Of $392,296.
The new industrial insurance COM
mission, which assumed Office June l,
has already made several important
changes in administration methods Of
the department. AS one Of the safe
guards against the passing OF any more
fraudulent accident claims from county
road work, the commission now requires
the approval Of one member of the
the board Of county commissioners in
addition to that Of the road foreman.
Most of the Gillies frauds were forged
on alleged county road payrolls. By
requiring the approval of county com
missioner OF claims an official assurance
OF validity is given by the county.
In further protection Of the reserve
fund the insurance commission has re-
uuired affidavit reports OF physical
condition every three months from
pension fund benefciaries. Payments
will be held at the office until such
reports are received. The commission
has also suspended cash advances in
excess Of monthly payments due bene-
ficiaries, except in cases where an ad-
vance would save the beneficiary from
sacrificing property.

VANtO MINING co. WANTS
RIGHT OE WAY FOR RAILROAD
Up ICiCIe River Valley --LeavenwOrth to
Donate Land and Right of Way for
Three Miles

Last Friday Mayor Day received
communication from Mr.. N. Nelson
one of the promoters Of a railroad from
Leavenworth up the Icicle river valley
to the Vance mines, about 25 miles
from Leavenworth, asking the people
Of this town if the road was located on
the line above indicated to donate two
acres Of land near the south end of the
G. N. spur track at the foot OF the aill
where the Id. Lumber Co.'S reser-
voir is located, for terminal use, and
the right of way 100 feet wide from
that point to where the line would
enter the forest reserve, a distance OF
approximately three miles, and the
friendly cooperation in securing right
Of way thru the forest reserve and the
Northern Pacific railroad company's
land. The latter company owns every
alternate section of land
In the evening a meeting of &e
citizens was held in the city hall to
ascertain the feeling. Mayor Day was
elected chairman and A. R. Brown
secretary. After the object OF the
meeting was stated a number OF the
property owners promptly stated that
if the road was to be built along the
lines indicated it was up to Leaven-
worth to see that the right Of way was
secured, as such a road would be of
great benefit to the town. 1t would
not only bring the products of the
mine here for shipment but would
cause the company to maintain an
office here and ship supplies from this
point. 1t was also pointed out that
the building Of a railroad up the Icicle
river would open up some fine dairy
lands and a vast and valuable body of
cedar, pine and fir timber.
On motion the following committee
was appointed to look into and report
at some future time about the cost of
a right Of way: E. H. Fox, L. J. Mel
son, Thos. Burke, o. S. Sampson and
Deed H. Magyar. The meeting ad-
iourned subject to the call Of the
chairman.
J. w. Elliott, o. S. Sampson and F.
T. Motteler were appointed committee
on finance and will endeavor to secure
what funds are necessary to carry out
the views and intentions of those who
favor complying with the request of
the railroad people.
Messr. Nelson and Van Epps, the
former the promoter Of the railroad and
the latter the principal owner OF the
mining property, have advised the
mayor that they would be here the
last of this week or the first OF next
week and be in a position to live def
mite information as to just what their
purpose is. 1t is understood that
preliminary survey Of the route OF the
road will be made at an early date. II
the Icicle route is decided on work
will begin as soon as possible.

guage observations that there has been
a subsistence of the land OF Holland, as
we'll as of that OF bordering countries
and the greater part OF the British
Isles. He says it may be deduced
from the entire list OF such ohserva-

subsistence Of thirty centimeters per

fifteen centimeters That very con-
siderable subsistence is taking place
