Mr.. w. F. Gutschow who has charge
OF the track work on the Wenatchee
Valley Northern Railroad had gang oi
men at work the past week changing
the line from a point near the west end
Of Commercial street where it crosses
the river on pile bridge to the newly
graded roadbed along the north bank oi
the river to the mill By this change
two bridges and long line Of piling
across the fiat is avoided, and the logs
will hereafter be dumped directly into
the main river instead Of the pond,
which was found too shallow. The up
keep Of the line will be much less by
the change and the company will have
a, much better place to dump logs.
The change involves the laying oi
about a half mile Of track.

Atkinson's Cement Proposition
Taking Shape

MIR. John D. Atkinson came down
from Chikamin creek where he spent
most of the past summer having some
development work done on his marble
property. He left Tuesday for Spokane
and from. there goes to Billings, Mont.
to arrange some financial matters.
While attorney general of the state he
was instrumental in organizing the
Bankers Loan and Trust Co., OF Billings,
a company which, by the way, has
prospered and every year since paid a
dividend. The prospect that Mr..
Atkinson's marble enterprise will be-
come a going concern grows brighter
all the time. The constantly growing
demand for cement makes it attractive
for men engaged in that occupation.

this week from his son George who is
now stationed at New Jersey. He says
his company is having a big time So
cially, there being parties given in
their honor almost every day, He closes
however by saying that the good time
will soon be over as they expect TO
leave for the "other side" almost any
day. His brother Edwin who is with
the 161st Infantry is camped within
so miles Of him but as yet they have
not met.
He encloses clipping from a New
Jersey paper telling Of an entertain
ment given in honor OF the 502d Bat
talon OF the twentieth regiment Engi-
neers OF which he is a member. The
New Jersey paper has the following to
say Of part Of the program:

novel surprise, the funeral Of Kaiser
Bill. When the visitors had been in
troduced to the boys and it was time
to start the program the doors of the
mess hall opened, and led by Sergt.
Geo. Hoxsey, playing funeral march
upon flute, a procession Of soldiers
solemnly marched down the hall, one
carrying banner reading Funeral OF
Kaiser Bill" and others bearing
stretcher upon which was a stuffed
effigy OF the Kaiser. To mournful mu
sic the pallbearers marched to the cen
ter Of the hall. where, instead of bury
ing the corpse they hung it by the
neck from the rafters, where it remained
thruout the evening. Sergt. Hoxsey
played the Star Spangled Banner and
every soldier stood at Salute until the
last strains had sounded"

PESHASTIN HAD FINE
CROP AND IS PROSPEROUS
Apples All Saved-400 Cars-0ne-third
Shipt, Balance in StOrage-PriCes
Satisfactory

Mr.. F. A. Winegate a Peshastin
fruitgrower was in Inc oiiice yesterday y5s::c:d 2
and speaking OF the fruit industry said;
The apples in the Peshastin valley
have all been picked and are in storage.
The loss was negligible" Speaking
of his own activity he said: MY
orchard yielded me about 5000 boxes.
Of good grade apples. The G. M. H.
Wagner & Sons warehouse, Of which
Winegate & Bigelow have had charge,
will handle Of this years crop Approximate
ly $50, 900 boxes Of apples, and has Sc
far paid out to the growers SIS, 900.
The Peshastin district will ship this
year about 400 cars of apples. Not
more than one-third OF this years crop
has been shipt so far. Car shortage is
our worst trouble just now, with little
hope of early relief. Our warehouse
loaded about 1000 boxes for Australian
shipment. These were all smaller thar
$50 Winesaps. and netted the growers
$50 per box. This was cash to the
growers and is considered one Of the
best sales made in the upper valley
this season."

This is.ihe principal clause in wal

and is now being put into effect by
the bureau of Mines, which has been
charged with its enforcement. Francis
S. Peabody OF Chicago, has been ap-
pointed by Secretary Of the Interior
Lane to act as assistant to the Direc-
tor Of the bureau OF mines. Van H.
Manning, in the enforcement Of the
law.
Under the law the director Of the
bureau is empowered to utilize the SER
vices Of all United States officers and
all police officers Of the states. includ-
ing city police forces, county sheriffs,
ldeputies, constables, and all officers in
any way charged with police duties.
The law provides that everyone who
handles explosives must have license.
The manufacturer, the importer and
the exporter must have licenses issued
by the Bureau of Mines in Washing
ton. The seller Of explosives and the
purchaser OF explosives must also have
| licenses, these to be issued generally
by county clerks, or other local officers
who are authorized to administer oaths.
There will be at least one licensing Of
fcer in each county and more will be
designated if the county is sufficiently
large to warrant it. .

quarrymen and others using large guam
titles OF explosives, which are handled
by employees. may issue explosives to
their employees only thru those en-
ployees holding a license, called fore
mans license.
The purchaser OF dynamite, in OBJ
tanning a license, must state definitely
what the explosive is to be used tor and
will be teld accountable for its use as

Jay Adams In Balloon Service

Mr.. Jay Adams returned from the
coast last Sunday where he went last
week to apply for service in the balloon
observation corps OF the army. This
is a new branch Of war activity on the
other side OF the Atlantic. Mr.. Adams
was accepted and expects soon to go
into training. This is the second effort
Mr.. Adams has made. He applied for
a position in the offi c er
reserve corps but was rejected because
older men were preferred for this
particular branch.
His chosen work is said to be one OF
the most dangerous branches Of the
aerial department. Captive balloons are
sent up to get line Of the enemy and
make maps and frequently are attacked
by German flyers. The stationary
boloon is good target for the German
and if he succeeds in puncturing the
gas bag there is nothing left for the
balloon men to do but come down in a
parachute. The parachutes do not
always open, then again there is a good
chance OF landing behind the enemy
lines or in -mans-land which is still
worse. However we hope Jay pulls
thru and comes back to tell US his
experiences.

those rolling hills on top Of the Icicle
ridge where everything is green. Lots
of rain here. I have heard lots Of stories
about the trenches but cannot tell them
to you.
Tell all the boys hello also tell them
that they ought to be proud Of US as
we will be the first boys from Leav-

trenches.
The stores here are very small in
comparison to those in the U. S. A.
They are so small that when two of US
go to buy anything one waits outside
till the other gets what he wants before
going in. The Inns are about the
same as the stores, quite small.

FOR TROUBLES

Hearing Of the case OF Henry G..
Brown, the principal Of Waimea
school, Kauai, who was not reem-
ployed this year after five years OF
service, and whcse complaints are
now in the circuit court for settle
ment, was held this morning by. a
Joint committee from senate and
house.
TIE hearing lasted from 10 o'clock
TO ~ and was TO be continued later
this afternoon when the days session
CT the senate had ended.
Mr.. Brown stated hts case to the
legislators this morning, not as mat
ter of law, he said, Int as a matter III
Justice. The law side is being thresh-
ed out in the courts. i
He reviewed the work of the past
five years since he and Mrs Brown
had taken charge OF the school and
brought evidence TO show that ii had
been buff up to one OF the foremost
schools Of the island He also testi-
fled TO the fact that neither he nor
Mrs. Brown had ever fallen below 50
per cent in the markings OF tie de-
partmert. r..
We claim that we have taught
faithfully and successfully he declar-
ed. "and II is justice and fair treat
fnent that we ask.
Testimony brchght out the opinion
that it is largely upon Commissioner
Knudsen OF Kauai that the Browns
place the blame for the refusal OF the
board to reemploy them. though kllud.
sen had given them the impression.
they said, that he had tried hard to
get them left in the department.
The reason that the case has been
so slow in going to the courts was that
they had waited month by month for
a full meeting Of the board aid none
had been held yet.
Attorney Fred Patterson of Kauai
told the legislators that he believes
Superintendent Kinney should be IN.
strueted, to reinstate the Browns and
that compensation should be allowed
for their loss Of pay as result Of the
dismissal.
The superintendent attitude has
been all along that this matter is
closed" said Brown.
