CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Turned Down Sewer Proposition, Ordered
Street Vacated and Decided to Apply
for Free Mail Delivery

Because of lack of quorum Tues
day night the council adjourned to
Wednesday evening when full at
tendance was had.
After allowing the usual number OF
bills the first matter to come up was
the proposition to employ an engineer
to prepare plans for sewer system for
the entire town. The proposition was
presented by Messrs. Barnum and
Weile to prepare plans and specifi-
cations for $450.00. A number OF
citizens were present and protested
against the city at this time going to
any expense because the cost OF in
staling at this time would be about
double what it would be under normal
times. After brief consideration by the
council the proposition of Messrs
Barnum and Weile was ordered filed
for future reference but the whole
sewer matter indefinitely put off.
The matter Of applying to the postal
department for a free mail delivery
system came up on the presentation by
Postmaster Hamilton OF certain depart
ment rulings and requirements in the
event free mail delivery is asked for.
Because there had been demand for
such system the council voted to take
steps to secure free mail delivery for
Leavenworth.
Communications from the G. N.
Lumber Co. and the Leavenworth
State Bank, asking that Main street
between blocks 7 and IA in the
original town site be vacated, was read,
and the council decided to take the
necessary steps to comply with the re-
quest of the petitioners.
A motion prevailed instructing the
city clerk to notify the owners of build
ings on lots 8, 7 and 8, block a.,
original town site, that unless con-
ditions were remedied the city would
bring suit against the owners in the
superior court. The lots named are
occupied by old, tc1:-s:tS!ccaeun frame
buildings owned by Phil Bartlett and
the Seattle Brewing & Mailing Co., on
Front street. The buildings are un-
sanitary and because of their condition
increase the FIRE hazard

Tobacco Dealers Hit By Tax

When President Wilson signed the
new war tax bill that has been passed
by congress he set every tobacco
dealer in the state at work taking
stock, for it is necessary for every
dealer to know exactly how much
stock he had on hand at the time the
bill was signed. That means check
ing up the number Of cigarets and
cigars and the pounds of tobacco.
Few of the smaller stores keep a
constant inventory, and as result they
are for the most part paying more
attention now to taking stock than
worrying about customers.
Local dealers are busy this week,
checking up on their stock, and due
to the additional tax nearly all forms Of
tobacco have had a raise in price.

Urged to Store Potatoes

In cooperation with the National
and State Departments Of Agriculture,
Mr.. Ashur Hobson, director OF farm
markets at the State College, has
issued bulletin urging upon retailer
and consumer alike, the wisdom OF
buying and storing potatoes in suf-
ficent quantities to carry them over
the winter months.
Back Of this action is the hope OF
conserving the wheat and meat supply
by the more general consumption OF
Of potatoes. and also the very grave
necessity, at this time Of conserving
the potato crops until cars are more
readily available for moving them 10
distributing points.

AS we have received orders to leave
your city, we take these means OF ex-
pressing our thanks to the people oil

HeIp The Red Cross Do Something

The following cable was received in
Washington recently from the head OF
the Red Cross commission in France:
Begin shipping at once one and
half million each, knitted muffiers,
sweaters, socks, and wristlets. These
are desperately needed before cold
weather. In view of the shortage Of fuel
and other discomforts, they will be OF
incredible value in both military and
civilian work. Last winter broke the
record for cold and misery among the
people here. They inexpressibly
dread lest the coming winter find us
without supplies to meet the situation.
I urge you on behalf of our soldiers
and those of our allies who will suffer
in the frozen trenches"
You must do something. II you
can not knit, can you sew1 There are
many comforts that can be made out
side Of knitted articles. If you can
not sew, can you give dollar or a
dime? Money will buy many things
that fingers and needles can not make.
There are score OF ways in which
you can help through the Red Cross.
The Red Cross headquarters in
Leavenworth are in the High School
building. Women are needed to help
sew. Are you doing your bit7

MORE THAN 1900 MEN
HURT EVERY MONTH
97,453 Accidents Reported to the In
dustriaI Insurance Commission
Since 1t Was Established

Since the workmen's compensation
act went into effect six years ago,
October l,1o11. 81 7,453 accidents ol
all kinds have been reported, Of which
1928 were fatal. The fatal accidents
have proved to run an average Of one
a working day, or 800 year, since
statistics have been kept. The total
accidents average something over 16,
600 a year, or a little more than 1900
a month.
Additional figures given out by the
industrial insurance commission this
week show that in September total Of
1882 accidents were reported and 26
of them were fatal, while in August the
total was 1866 and the. fatals %. For
September a year ago the accidents
were zoos and the fatals 90. During
the year ended September 80. the
fatal accidents numbered SUI even,
while the total accidents were 22,615.
For the fiscal year ended September
80, 1916, the total number OF
accidents was 1o, ,4o4.
Although many mills and logging
camps have been shut down DUNG the
past few months the slack in the
number of men employed was fully
made up by the shipyards and
cantonment work. The new first aid
law is also causing more accidents to
be reported, as the physicians mus
make report now to get their pay.

Wholesale Arrest of SaCkers

Government officials are conducting
a rigid investigation into the charges
which have been made that there are
hundreds OF young men in Seattle and
King County, between the ages OF 81
and 81 who failed to register in ac-
cordance with the draft law. It is
quite a well known fact that the officials
are being aided in this investigation by
a large number Of patriotic individuals,
whose sons have answered the call OF
the Government. These citizens while
perfectly willing that their sons should
serve the Government are Of the opin-
ion that the slackezs should be round
ed up and compelled to join the army.
Many cases Of fraud in connection
with the draft law are comming to light.
Mothers have sworn that their sons
were not of eligible age while a search
OF the records show that the reverse is
true. It is expected that within short
time wholesale arrests will be made in
this connection and ii is promised by
Government officials that the facts in
their possession will create a sensation,
particularly in view Of the facts that
sons of some Of the best known families
of the citv are among the slackers.

PESHASTIN APPLE GROWERS
ARE A PROGRESSIVE BUNCH
lust Completed $4,000 Addition to
Warehouse-InStaIled New Grade
ing and Packing Machinery

The ranchers in and about Peshastin
have a way OF doing things without
making a great deal of noise about it,
but which shows their faith in the
future OF the country. They have just
completed in Peshastin large ware
house for the handling OF the fruit
crops of the district at cost OF
approximately SIS 100000. They have
installed in the new warehouse the
latest method Of grading, sorting, pack
ing and handling boxed apples.
Much OF the work heretofore done by
hand is now done by machinery. The
intention being to do away with pack
ing on the ranch. The apples OF the
members are hauled from the orchard
to the warehouse where they are graded,
packed and labeled.
In addition to this they futher show
their confidence in the future by
arranging for an additional water supply
for their fruit lands, for which they will
vote bonds of S125 100000, these
bonds to be first lien on the lands;
and as the writer understands it there
are about 1000 acres Of land in the
district. or the bond issue will mean
lien Of approximately $4,000 per acre,
which bonds will draw about 6 per
cent per annum interest, making lien
OF s1.80 per annum per acre for
interest. The maintenance per annum
will probably amount to $500 per acre
per snnum. These facts indicate that
the fruit growers Of Peshastin still have
faith in the apple business.

Red Cross Workers Can Not
Sell Goods

Mr.. C. D. Stimson, Red Cross
Manager OF the Northwest Division,
Seattle, is out with circular to all Red
Cross auxiliaries, OF which the following
is copy.
Reports are current that knitted
articles, particularly socks, made for
soldiers by Red Cross Chapters,
branches and auxiliaries have been sold
to the public in shops or direct TO the
soldiers.
We cannot believe such a thing
possible but invite evidence sufficient
to take before the United States Dis
trict Attorney and We will gladly give
instructions to vigorously prosecute.
Similar stories have been previously
started throughout the East but when
followed up have been found TO be
without foundation. Doubtless investi-
CATION here will meet the same result.

WASTE PAPER DAY
BRINGS $4,000 IN
.SPOKANERECENTLY

SPOKANE. Wash. March 5.-Five
thousand persons became thrifty and
received $6, 900 for their. trouble on
Spokane's first waste paper day, held
recently.
Two hundred and fifty tons of old
paper were taken from homes, stores
and offices to depots located in vari-
Gus parts of the city. Fancy prices
offered by collectors caused thousands
of householders to explore closets and
Garrets for the precious waste. Spo-
kane citizens in touring cars rubbed
elbows with small boys with sleds At
one time 25 automobiles, trucks and
transfer wagons were lined up on
Boone avenue awaiting their turn to
reach the scales for weighing and un-
loading.
Waste paper day was staged by ID.
S. Bannion at the request OF Spo-
kane Fire Marshal Eugene Battles.
When we agreed to take charge
of waste paper. day at the request of
the fire marshal we did not expect to
pay more than SIS a ton, which is
the fair commercial value of waste
paper at this time" states Mr.. Ban
nion, ''but competitive conditions
forced the price up until we paid s25
a ton for paper delivered at our
and $50 ton. or a$1
hundred. where it was taken to the
outlying stations. For scrap paper
delivered in sacks. we paid IS a ton"
