CheIan County Out of Debt

Chelan county occupies an unique
position in the state in that it pays no
interest on bonded Indebtedness.
There never has been bond issue
against the county. County Treasurer
George R. Fisher, has issued a call for
warrants maturing June 23, Tor all cur
rent expense warrants, against the game
fund, INDECENT fund, general road and
bridge fund, road district, all reclama-
ton districts and general school funds.
Notwithstanding the fact the general
levy this year provided 100000 less
than last year, there is no trouble for
the county to keep on a cash basis.
There are few school districts in the
county which have bond issues occa-
stoned By building but as a rule the
districts are on cash basis the same
as the county. There are few coun-
ties in the state which are in the same
financial condition as Chelan county
absolutely out Of debt.-Wenatceee

City Marshal Jos. Teshera and bond
ing company in which damages to the
amount of $4,000 is claimed by Day

by the Wenatchee law firm of Hughes
& Adams.
The case grows out Of the arrest of
Mr.. Day some two months ago while
on his way to Wenatchee when his
auto was searched by the marshal for
liquor. A bottle Of whiskey containing
a small quantity OF liquor was found in
the auto. The arrest and search was
made on the camplaint OF the mayor.
The search of his place OF business for
liquor is also alleged as ground for
damages, The damage claimed is for
exposing him and his wife TO notoriety
and for humiliating him and his wife
and damage TO their feelings and
reputation.
Because OF the prominent position
occupied by the parties the outcome
will be watched with more than usual
interest.

Japanese arrived here this week from
Seattle and set eyes on her husband for
the first time in IA years. Mrs
Tamane arrived in Seattle on the
Panama Maru from Japan about three
weeks ago. Just about IA years ago
Mr.. Tamane sailed away from the shores
Nippon telling his wife, that he would
either send for her or be back inside

as he expected and he was unable to
send for her at the appointed time.

No Race Suicide 10 This Family

Mrs. Frank Robinson living three
miles south OF Oakesdale, Wash, is
still proving herself in hearty sympathy
with Colonel Roosevelt's propaganda
against race suicide.
Mrs. Robinson is a mother for the
7th time, giving birth to a baby girl
last week. The mother is only SO
wears old. These statements would
not be so unusual but for the fact that
Mrs. Robinson has given birth tc II
children. Triplets were born twice
and twins once. She made her big
record ten years ago by bringing seven
children into the world within twenty
months.
And she is a young woman yet.

COUNCIL MEETING
Monthly Bills Allowed, Marshal NOmi.
mated and Water Works Improve
ment Considered.

After approving bills against the city
to the amount Of about twelve hundred
dollars the first question to come up
was the appointment OF city marshal.
Persent Marshal Teshera, Joe Debord,
J. F. Pratt and John Love were
candidates for the place. At the
suggestion of the mayor who said he
did not know anything about any Of the
men, and that the members OF the
council were acquainted with them the
council cast a secret ballot to deter
mine their preference. The first ballot
resulted in four being cast for John
Love, of Tye, and one for Debord and
the mayor promptly appointed Love,
which appointment the council as
promptly approved.
The waterworks improvement then
came up for consideration. Several of
the councilman had recently been over
the work, and declared that the improve
ment would cost over FIVE thousand
dollars by the time it was completed.
This was somewhat OF shock as the
cost had been estimated within three
thousand dollars. 1t will be recalled
that one bid submitted at the time it
was proposed to let the work by con-
tract, was for approximately $4,000.
Because of a misunderstanding all bids
were rejected and the council in the
month OF May last determined to do
the work by day labor. Since the cost
is mounting up so high the council
decided to again ask for bids op the
uncompleted work. In the meantime
the work is progressing by day labor.
Sam Potter was appointed a member
Of the council to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation Of Councilman Van
Brocklin.

Of Crop Estimates. United States De-
partment of Agriculture, under date of
June 10Th, interprets the government

The Monthly Crop Report, for

total agricultural crop; second, as to
the commercial crop. By CONNER
ciar is meant here the amount shipped

some states practically the entire pro-
duction is consumed locally, and there
fore is not considered as a part OF the
commercial crop.
The June apple report Of this Bur
eau indicates an agricultural crop oi
208, 900 bushels, as compared
with 202, PAS, 900 bushels. the final
estimate for last year. This is a Sigh,
increase. The commercial crop this
year is forecast as 25.381, 900 barrels
of 3 bushels each, as compared with
25, ,6o5,000 last year, indicating a
slight decrease.

Death of Old PrOspetOr

Word was received here Yesterday
afternoon that Jas. Leland, now in the
County Hospital at Wenatchee, was
unconscious and not expected to live
until morning. Jas. Leland made Leav-
enworth his home for more than twenty
years, according to Tom Burke, who
perhaps knows as much about him as
any Of the old timers He always spent
the summers in the hills and generally
his winters in Leavenworth. In his
younger days he followed the occupa-
ton Of a printer and once told the
writer that he had worked on the Mem
phis Appeal, in the old hand days.
Nothing is known Of his early history
or his kith or kin. He was a prospec-
tor Of the old kind. Always expecting
to strike it rich." His patience and
perseverance ran an even race to the
end. Peace to his ashes.

CARS CAN NOW GET OVER
THE SNOQUALMIE PASS
CIe Flum AutOiSts First to Cross the
MOuntainS-ROad is Still In Bad
Condition

From Gle Elum Echo-The credit
for getting thru Snoqualmie Pass first
this season belongs to Myrlin c. Haines
proprietor of the Reliable Auto Co., and
Harry Faust, one OF his mechanics.
They made it last Saturday night with
stripped Ford chassis on which they
had placed a common packing case and
an old chair, reaching Seattle via Kirk
land at 7:45 a. m. Monday morning
The P.-I's account of his trip is vouched
for BY Mr.. Haines and it was as follows:
Leaving Gle Elum at 8 D. m. last
Saturday, Mr.. Haines intended to run
up to the Snow line and ascertain for
himself the approximate date when It
would be possible for machines to get
over the pass. He was greatly sur
prised when he reached the west end
of Lake Keechelus without encounter
ing auy snow whatever and found the
roads in perfect condition. After get
ting this far it was decided to try and
make the trip over the mountain. They
hit the first snow about half mile west
of Lake Keechelus, and from there on
N Summit Inn the snow ranged from
one to four and FIVE feet deep. The
nearer they came to Seattle the more
determined Haines and Faust were to
make the pass and be the first car over
Then the real trouble began. At the
summit, where they expected to ind
the snow entirely gone, they encoun-
tered eight feet, but this did not les
sen their ardor in the least, and they
kept blowing through. A hall mile
west OF Summit. where the Sunset high
way passes under the old Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad tracks,
there is bridge over small noun
tain stream. The Ford drivers came
to the edge OF the snow at the bridge,
and as the snow had melted from the
bridge it looked at night as though 1t
had been washed away. After an ex-
animation they found the bridge intact
and the snow on either side of it ap-
proximately seven feet deep. Getting
over this the snow gradually diminished
as they reached the lower attitudes OF
the switchback, and entirely gave out
on the turn of the last switchback.
From this turn into Kirkland the road
reported in good condition.

Mining Men Here from the East

Mr.. Philip J. Lonergin, New York
City and Mr.. James Naughton, from
Butte, Montana, arrived on the after
noon train Monday and the last of the
week departed for the Red Mountain
mining region where the first named
gentleman spent much time last sum-
mer, indeed, became so much inter
ested in the Red Mountain country
that he employed Mr.. A. S. Cook, a
local mining man Of some repute, to
carry on development work the past
winter. In connection with the pres
ence here Of Mr.. Lonergin last summer
there was considerable talk of mining
on a scale never undertaken here
before. The coming back Of Mr..
Lonergin will revive the talk, but until
that gentleman himself authorizes US
to make statement Of his intentions,
or gives visible evidence Of what he
purposes to do, we must content our
selves by simply making the statement
that he is here again.
Certain it is he has asked no one
here to finance his venture and has
paid promptly for what he wanted, and
left no unpaid labor bills, the same
which is more than can be said OF some
other mining men Of whom we wot.
