GREAT NORTHERN LUMBER co
PULLED Off A GREAT STUNT
Entertained Over One Hundred and tigh-
ty Guests at Dinner in the New
Dining Cars for LOggers

Just to show how the Great Northern
Lumber Co. proposed to feed and
lodge its loggers the company invited
number Of the citizens OF Leaven-
worth to a loggers dinner, at 7 o'clock
Saturday evening, prepared and served
in the new dining cars built especially
for this purpose, The meal served is
sample of what it is proposed TO serve
every day to its logging employees. 1t
was a meal that would cost in any
restaurant from so to IS cents, and con-
sisted of roast beef, mashed potatoes,
brown gravy, corn, combination salad,
fruit pie, and three kinds OF cake,
bread and coffee All the food was
excellently cooked and served in china.
in this latter respect in striking con-
trast with the old method of tin cups
and brown granite ware. 1t was
brought on by walters in spotless white
regalia. The tables are arranged for
eight persons with abundant room.
Some of the cars have eight and others
have four tablers, in the latter half the
car being used as kitchen. In
addition to the towns people there
were employees Of the company and SIX
couples from Wenatchee, in all more
than one hundred and eighty people
were present at the big spread. It
would be improper to call il banquet,
as that might indicate that pains were
taken to serve a special meal, when it
was only intended as fair sample loi
the meals that will be served to the
company's employees in logging
operations in the woods. After the
dinner, or banquet, if you choose to
call it such, the company repaired to
the near by club house where, to the
strains Of excellent music, those that
are given to dancing INDUCED in this
fascinating recreation until we'll toward
morning. The following six couples
drove up from Wenatchee and partook
Of the repast and later INDUCED in the.
dancing as inclination dictated; Mr..
and Mrs. c. B. McDermott, Mr.. and
Mrs. W. F. Whitney, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank. Sorley, Mr.. and Mrs. F. W.
Shultz, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Reeves
and Mr.. and Mrs. Lou Nordyke.
Mr.. Geo. l.. ca-d-e-. General
manager of the Great Northern Lum-
Der Co. was unavoidably detained by
the big slide west Of the Cascade
tunnel on his return from Portland and
and did not arrive here until Sunday
afternoon. However, Mrs. Gardner,
as hostess, did the honors of the even
ing among the ladies present very
graciously. Altogether the affair, as
showing just how the company propose
to house and treat its employees in the
woods, proved a great and enlightening
success. If housing and feeding men
has anything to do with keeping a
crew of men contented and happy the
logging crews Of the Great Northern
Lumber Co. ought to be satisfied.
The banquet, and a guest may
properly call it that, was in every way
a success and highly enjoyed by all
present.

The following communication, which
is self explanatory, was read by the
clerk:
To The City Attorney, Leavenworth,
Wash.
Dear Sir. Please file in your Office
the following complaint:
l hereby enter suit against Joe
Teshera, the present marshal, to re-
cover damages to the extent Of $1,000,
the slightest estimate can place, for
damage TO my nervous system, caused
by his reckless use Of firearms, shoot
ing from ambush, right in front Of US,
the crack in my ears being so great
that I thought I had been shot. 1t
nearly caused me to faint, and my
heart action has been irregular ever
since, up setting me altogether and
uniting me for my regular duties.
And what has worried me more, it
was simply a miracle that my little girl
did not bound forward just at that
moment, to catch up with the dog
which had been running along at her
side, and had gotten few PAGES ahead
Of her.
There is nc excuse for such reck-

Yellow and Green will not Blend


Dear Mr.. Edito1:-Allow me to tres
pass on your courtesy for little space
in your valuable weekly. AS an Irish
man I take upon myself to review the
last weeks issue OF your esteemed
paper from the St. Patricks and Ireland
standpoint. I wish to call your
attention to the following two notices
to which l take exception.
In the first place, a certain Madame
and Mademoiselle announces to the
public that they entertained twelve
ladies at St. Patrick auction bridge
party Saturday afternoon" They in
form US that the color scheme Of
yellow and green was very cleverly
carried out in decoration Of tables and
rooms" They wind up by saying
that the favor boxes were little Paddy
hats filed with candies. !"
Now would like to know what has
St. Patrick to do with an auction bridge
party7 Couldn't they play bridge
without St. Patrick7 I must agree
with them, however, in saying that
they were indeed very clever, if they
succeeded in blending and harmonizing
the yellow and the green. This is a
feat which no artist has ever yet been
able to accomplish. 1t seems my
education is not yet complete, for I
have to confess my ignorance as to
what is meant by Paddy hatl
Again we are told that three
Mesdames entertained at dinner
Saturday evening" These too pride
themselves on their cleverness, for they
tell US that st. Patrick's day was
cleverly carried out in the decorations
and place cards as well as in original
verse by one Of the hostesses." They
want US to know also that pigs and
troughs marked each place " and that
"clay pipes and green bonnets" were
passed rounG ~ - s----.
This kind OF thing would have
passed the censor fifty or hundred
years ago, but we are now living in a
more enlightened age, when even
people of ordinary intelligence know
more and think more about Ireland.
If these good people would only take
the trouble TO read the most elementary
work on Irish history, they would soon
find out that the glories OF Ireland con-
sist OF something more than pigs and
troughs! 1t is a great pity that a
little country town society dinner"
cannot take place on the seventeenth
of March without dishonoring ST..
Patrick, disgracing Ireland, and insult
ing the Irish peoplel
Yours very truly
N. O'RaHerty.

According to Marshal Teshera COM
plants had been made about the dog
running at large unmuzzled and that
he was considered a nuisance in the
neighborhood over which he roamed.
He says that Mrs. Booth bad ben noti
fed on more than one occasion to
confne the dog or muzzle him. On
the day of the shooting he says he saw
the dog on Front street and tried to
catch him. Failing in this he lay in
wait for him opposite the viaduct and
shot him just before he reached the
viaduct. He claims that at the time
Of the shooting Mrs. Booth and her
children were probably two hundred
feet distant from the dog and that he
was about half that distance, and as
be was pointing his gun in the oppo-
site direction they were in no danger.
The matter was laid over until the
next regular meeting.
The report of Police Judge Graham
showed $127.50 in fines collected as
the result of one drunk and the raid on
the Jap shack.
An ordinance transferring the fran
chise Of the Wenatchee Valley and
Northern railroad from the Lamb-Davis
Lumber Co. TO the Great Northern
Lumber Co. was read and approved and
signed by the mayor.
Mr.. Tolbert was instructed to see that
all sidewalks are repaired. Where the
city is compelled to do this the ex
pense will be charged against the prop
erty. Council then adjourned.

PRICE OF CANNED Z
GOOD WILL DROP

Washington, Nov. 5-An immedi tie
drop in prices on canned vegetables
was predicted by the food admiuistra-
ton today as a result of putting into
operation the license system for whole
dealers. Many canned goods, it was
said, were bought by dealers at low
prices last spring and can be sold Eat
less than the present prices. Dealers
charging more than a reasonable pro-
fit are liable to forfeiture of their Ii
cense to do business
Retailers will be controlled to an ex-
tent also through the operation of the
licensing system. Those charging
more than the food administration con-
siders just will find their supplies cut
off in orders TO wholesalers to cease
furnishing them with goods.
The food administration today warn
ed dealers who have not applied for
license blanks that they will be charg-
ed with violations of the food law If
they continue to sell goods.

Washington. Oct. 2.-The $2,700. .0OO,-
900 war tax bill, passed by the House.
without a roll call, which Is up for final
kction today in the Senate, catches"
almost everybody from the cradle to
the grave. and. for good measure, lev
les few new taxes on the heirs.
Baby's first dash of talcum powder
will, under the per cent manufactur-
ers tax on cosmetics, help Uncle Sam
carry on the war. and after death the
federal collectors will be on hand to
get the inheritance tax, an advance on
the present rate of from l per cent on
$50 900 to 10 per cent on 81 100000.
Between birth and death most of
mans activities would be taxed.
Those who have profited by the war.
the recipients of enormous excess war
profits. will pay the most to help car
ry 1t on. Almost half the total amount
OF the bill, or about s1.110,O00. 900. is
to be collected from them.
The persons who write postal card
will be caught, for cards will sell for
cents each by the provisions of the
bill. Letters will be cents. One will
be taxed when one goes to moving
picture show-if the admission is over
cents one-tenth of the cost of the
ticket. The rate will affect all who
attend amusements, from the man in
the gallery to the one in the box. A
host of stamp taxes designed to raise
30.000, 900 also will get the man with
little money in many ways. His great
est consolation is that the consump-
tion taxes, which would have made
him pay on coffee. tea and sugar, were
stricken from the bill.
The new rate on whisky is s2.15 per
gallon and beer $3.50 barrel. Wine
taxes will be doubled and grape juice
will be taxed a cent a gallon. A per
son cannot escape taxes by travel
Eight per cent is assessed on passen-
ger tickets and summer tickets also
pay tax.
The men of moderate means as well
as the wealthy are affected by the in
come tax section. Normal rates have
been doubled and exemptions lowered
to 81 900 for single persons and $4,000
for married ones. Surtaxes for in
comes above $1,000 range from / to SO
per cent, the maximum applying to in
comes over $1,000.000. This section is
expected to raise $600,00O,O00.
Representative Cooper of Wisconsin
criticised the increase in second-class
mail rates; Representative Green Of
Iowa insisted that the bill should have
been at least $300.00O.00O higher; a
dozen others spoke and then the re-
port was adopted.
Opinions still differ as to the amount
that the bill will raise. Mr.. Kitchin
estimated 1t at s2,575, 100000, while
treasury experts believe It will be $2,-
535. 100000 during the coming year and
possibly s2,5ss. 100000 year when in
