COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

Attorney Whitney Of Wenatchee
who is representing the city in the case
against Seaman & Quigg who built the
water system was before the council
Tuesday evening. He stated that in
all probability, the case would come up
for trial in November or December,
and that he was OF the opinion that the
city had a good chance TO recover
damages. ts 4e
The ordinance relating to the con-
demnation OF buildings where they are
found to be a menace to the health
and safety OF the public was the sub
ject OF much discussion. 1t was found
that property owners are repairing
buildings in the firelimits and making
other improvements without getting
the consent OF the council which is
contrary to the city ordinances, and in
many instances the repairs are made
on buildings that have long since been
condemned. Two buildings on Front
street, which have been declared un-
fit for habitation are to be torn down
if the council finds that they can law
fully do so.
The city clerk disclosed the fact
that there is something like 5000 due
on back water rent. Work on the in
take OF the water system still con-
tinues.

ell of Defense for this county. The

pointed by the secretary OF the treas
ury 10 direct the activities OF women
in the sale of the Liberty bonds, has
inauprated nationwide campaign Tor
the promotion OF the next issue OF the
Liberty Loan. For the purposes OF or
eanization the committee has made
each state unit OF organization. Each
state has a chairman, who served upon
the executive board Of the state divis-
ion of the Woman's committee, Coun-
ell of National Defense, representing
I,ibertv Loan interests there. This
state chairman has active charge and
direction Of all liberty loan activities

for each county, who in turn perfect
their county organization. 1t is the
aim of the Woman's Liberty Loan COM

pes every woman not yet connected
with liberty loan organization to at

chairman OF her state.
In this way every American woman
may become an active agent in the
purchase of bonds which will provide
for the food, shelter and maintenance
OF American sailors, soldiers and ma
rines, and at the same time make Tor
herself an investment paying her higher
interest than the usual savings account,
and one which is guaranteed blythe re-
sources of the government OF the

painfully injured Tuesday night. He
was standing near the entrance Of a
stall while an engine was backing into
the house and was struck by the hood
off the smokestack which fell from the

escape from death as he will ever have.
The big hood weighing something like
500 pounds scraped the side OF his
head making a deep cut, then striking
him on the shoulder. He suffers con-
siderable pain but it is not believed
that there are any bones broken OF
that there will be any serious results.
He will likely be laid up couple oi
months says DR.. HoxseY.

Letters from Soldier Boys

by many of the Leavenworth boys, and
some girls, writing to Mr.. R. B. Gil
bert Of the Golden Rule store, from
Fort Leavenworth, Kas.. Sept. 18th,
says among other things of less genaral
interest: II think sometimes I would
like to get behind the counter again.
We are expecting the departure of the
7th regiment of engineers. They are
going directly TO France for active duty
and will take a medical detail of sixteen
men and we are all hoping to get on
the list. am expecting to be one of
the bunch. About IS men have been
taken from here for some kind of ser
vice. Neither I nor my pal, Mr.. Hun
ter were among the lucky number.
Hunter was preacher but enlisted in
the medical corps at the same time I
did. He makes as good soldier as
he was preacher, and at that he was
cracker-jack. He administers the
anasthetic and has become very pro-
ficient. We have both been once pro-
NOTED and are now in the rank Of pri-
vate First Glass; Which adds only
So per month to our pay. Not much,
but every little helps. My work is in
the First Sargeants Office. Part of the
time in the dressing room where wounds
sprains and fractures are dressed. We
have fine hospital and it is beautifully
located among trees and green lawns.
We have about $50 patients all the
time. We usually have from two to
three operations each day.
Harry Maston, writing from Charlotte
North Carolina, where he is now sta
toned writing to his parents under
date OF Sept. 10Th described his trip
from here to St. Paul, which consisted
of stops and Decentralization for exercise
drill. After leaving American Lake at
8 p. m. Sept. 10th, with two guards in
every car to prevent anyone getting out
OF the 16 cars on the train. We had
exercise drills at Spokane and Garrison
Mont. At Helena we unloaded and
stopped four or five hours. Some of
the boys got lit up here and that
queered our unloading. AT Billings
we had some exercise. The country
around Billings is sure fine. From here
we followed the Yellowstone to Glen
dive, our next stop. We stopped here
some time but the lieutenant would not
allow US to separate. Here the ladies
gave US some iced. There are a lot
of nice towns in Montana. Our next
stop and drill was at Mandan, N. D.
Our next stop was at St. Paul. Here
we unloaded and the Red Cross gave
US a nice lunch after which we went to
the Y. M. c. A. building and had a
nice swim. The seventh morning OUT,
Sunday, we unloaded at Chicago. We
had long hike here out on the lake
front and down thru coontown. You
should see the soldiers-and sailors here.
They are as thick as the hair on a dog.
We cleaned up here at the Athletic
Club. We passed thru Hammond, Ind.
Covington, KY, and unloaded and
drilled at South Portsmouth, across the
river from Portsmouth, Ohio, on the
Kentucky side OF the Ohio river. We
next stopt at Ashland, and you bet
those Kentuckey girls are some beau
ties. They have all the other girls
backed off the map. At Pauotsville,
KY. at least 500 people were out to see
US, and they were very patriotic. Here
we saw more goodlooking girls. From

Apple Situation Good

The apple situation could not be
better" said j. B. Adams, field mana
ger of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange
who came in last week after a trip thru
the Lewiston and Walla Walla districts.
The market is certainly stiffening and
the best part Of it is that in all sections
OF the northwest, the fruit is tied up In
safe hands and there will be no slaugh-
ter OF prices but rather a gradual stiff
ening as the season advances.
Mr.. Adams states that the Wenat-
chee Valley crop is sold out to a far
greater extent than Yakima. The gov
ernment report estimates Wenatchee's
crop as rs per cent sold, while 90 per
cent Of the Yakima crop is still in the
dealers hands.
