Organizing a Coyote Drive

If you are interested in exterminating
that useless predatory varmint known
as the coyote see Forest Ranger Brender
or Blankenship. In addition to the
always existing reason for ridding the
country Of this pestiferous wild animal
there is the added reason Of exter
minating the rabies which is causing no
end of annoyance and danger just now.
Heretofore there have been coyote
drives organized among hunters for the
sport it afforded them and other ad
venturous spirits. Just now such a
movement would have a moral force
and we earnestly hope the drive will
materialize.

A Copper Mine Near Gle fIum

Articles incorporating the Mineral
Creek Copper Co. were filed at Olympia
last week by Charles Duerrwaechter,
Ernest Durrwaechter, OF this city, and
William McCarter, Of Spokane.
The capital stock is $150,000. Mr..
McCarter has been here for several
DAYS past looking into the proposition
and is heavily interested in it financially.
The property lies on Mineral Creek
at the foot Of Lake Kaches and is easily
accessible. For some time past the
Dueuwaechters have been developing
it and now their faith and good judg-
ment seems to be amply justified BY
opening mine of substantial value.
1t is stated that assays OF the ore made
by University engineers show it to be
exceptionally rich. Elum Echo.

Chelan By-PrOduCt Man

F. L. Post, of Chelan, one Of the
only real honest-to-g goodness by-product
men in this section OF the state is in
Wenatchee this week for the purpose
Of serving his country as juryman in
the superior court. Instead of purvey-
ing a lot OF warm talk about benefits
to be derived from taking care of the
by-products Of this country Post is
actually doing it. He with his son has
had an apple dryer operating in the
Chelan country for the past five years.
Mr.. Post told the Daily World that
he was turning out sixty boxes OF fapples
daily which make about ton each
week. He sold one ten-ton order to
Powell Sanders Company of Spokane
and Wenatchee.
He pays S8. a ton for culls delivered
to the drier or 40 cents a hundred
pounds. This means that if an apple
man had to turn his entire crop Of
apples to the drier he would still be
able to make a living on good orchard
tract. Mr.. Post harvested 1000 boxes
per acre this year. This is worth 5000
per acre delivered at the drier.-We-
natchee World.

Chased By a Coyote

As showing the danger of being
inocculated with hydropobia by dogs
or woolves we are told that quite
recently a coyote drove Mr.. H. A.
Howard who lives about a mile north
Of town into his house. The fact that
coyote attempts II bite human be-
ing is practically conclusive evidence
that he is affected with rabies Food
is too plentiful in this locality for sheer
hunger to drive them TO attack man.
Besides lone animal never was known
to make an attack on grown person,
but afflicted with rabies both wolves
and dogs are known to possess a desire
to bite anything. This desire to bite
and snap at everything that comes in
reach is one of the unfailing symptoms.
Since the experience Of Mr.. Howard
be came current a citizen whose little
girl had formerly come home from
school by herself has forbidden her to
do so. 1t might be we'll for parents to
keep in mind the danger to children
who have to go thru isolated Sec
tions either to school or to town.
The old adage, 1T is too late to lock
the door after the horse is stolen"
applies in this instance.

why they are still poor.
Palace life in Greece being just one

A peace plea from one set Of

One Of the most surprising features
Of the whole situation is that Henry

Unmarried men in Virginia who do

To recently militant world sudden

To the allies who firmly believe that

peace simultaneously.

PIONEER CITIZEN OF LINCOLN
PASSES TO GREAT BEYOND
Came to Washington 27 Years Ago
LeavenwOrth Relatives Attended
His Funeral.

The death of Henry Goldman at
Harrington last week calls attention to
the thinning ranks of those sturdy
pioneers who have done much to make
a great unproductive area habitable
and productive. The following from
the Harrington Citizen pays Just trib"
ute to the memory of man who did
his full share in the transformation Of
this country from the wild to the
civilized state.
The entire community was saddened
last Tuesday to learn that one Of the
prominent and well-liked residents Of
Harrington, Henry Goldman, has
passed away. For over a year he had
not been in the best of health, and his
many friends were much worried over
him, and some days ago he contracted
pneumonia which proved fatal.
Mr.. Henry Goldman was born in
Clinton county, Iowa, near DeWitte,
and at the time OF his death was fifty
one years OF age. He was one of the
early pioneers Of Harrington having
come here about twenty seven years
ago when he was a young man. The
following brothers and sisters survive;
Will Goldman, OF Harrington, Martin
Goldman, Of Leavenworth, Wash,
Mrs. w. L. Hale, of Leavenworth,
Mrs. A. A. Buck Of Twin Falls, Idaho,
Mrs. G. w. Watts, and Mrs. G. w.
Webbles. of Clinton, Iowa. But one
of the out-of-town relatives was able to
be present at the funeral: Mr.. w. L.
Hale, a brother -in-law, from Leaven-
worth. The funeral was conducted BY
the Knights Of Pythias, of which Mr..
Goldman was a member, and the
remains laid to rest in the Harrington
cemetery. The deceased carried 81,
900 life insurance and leaves the
family in good financial circumstances.
The entire community is depressed,
and saddened by the death of one Of
our valued friends and citizens, and
the Citizen, along with other friends,
extends its sympathy to the bereaved
family. By marriage deceased was
related to Mr.. w. L. Hale, recently
elected mayor Of Leavenworth.

ACTIVITY UNPRECEDENTED

The west has at last taken its place
as an industrial part of this great nations
Tens of thousands of men have been
employed at the highest wage on
record
The burden OF maintaining this
position will largely rest with ourselves
in the future.
During the past year industrial
activity on the Pacific Coast and in the
mountain states has been unprecedented
Freak and radical legislation must be
eliminated and both capital and labor
must be given assurance of square
deal.
This, and nothing can prevent Wash
ington becoming one of the greatest
industrial sections OF this nation and of
the world.
Mining, shipbuildlng, electrlhcation
OF railroads, sugar manufacturing and
power development have brought
millions of dollars to this section.
Farmers have received undreamed
Of prices for crops and large cor
porations doing an unusual business
have shared their profits with their
employees
Our law making bodies, both state
and national, must do their utmost to
encourage continued industrial
supremacy by conservative and en-
couraging policy towards industry.
Prosperity has been forced upon US,
due in large measure to the European
war. Our industries have been built
up faster in the past twelve months than
would have been possible in ten years
under normal conditions.

LEAVENWORTH WINS FROM
W[NATCHFF Il. S. IN DEBATE
The Next Round Will Come Off in CASH
mere February 9th

Resolved, that a system Of conpul-
sorry military training of the equivalent
of not less than two hours per week
should be required in the public
schools OF the State Of Washington,
having an enrolment Of at least twenty
boys. This was the question which
was so ably debated at the Leaven-
worth High School last Friday evening.
Charles Hathaway, Louie Hartman
and Joe Smith representing the Leaven-
worth School against Wenatchee came
out victorious. This being the first
time that Leavenworth has participated
in such an event made the victory
mean a great deal. Also it was the
first of series of debates to be held
in Chelan County. The next one in
which Leavenworth will be represented
is to be held in Cashmere, February
9th, when Leavenworth will uphold
the affirmative, having supported the
negative on January 18th.
Should the Leavenworth team be so
fortunate in their next contest they
will be declared winners in the county.
We trust that such will be the case.

comments. In addition there were
