Seventy-five Years Old

Last Saturday, March II, the
Ladies Relief Society was IS
years old and the Snowflake
society honored the day by meet
ing at Social Hall and enjoyed a
spread in spirit due the day
and occasion.
The Herald acknowledges re-
ceipt of special invitation to be
present. tits nigh impossible to
get away in day time, so had to
decline. Being printer-editor is
some busy job. We would like
to take advantage of the many
invitations we have been favored
with for day time entertainments
and will when ever it is possible
to do so.
The Snowflake Relief Society
is one of the most active in this
Stake and too much praise can
not he given it for it's many deeds
of Christian work. May it ever
be blessed and it will.

very interesting sermon and ap-
peared to be in better health
than usual, although he had been
sick for several years. Upon
arriving at his home from SER
vices he became sick and went to
bed and gradually grew worse
till death relieved his suffering,
dying easily and peacefully.
Deceased had lived here for
many years, locating here about
SO years ago. He was a brick
maker and had made practically
all the brick used in the build
ings in Snowflake.
He was one of the most able
preachers in his church and had

Col. c. c. Cooley.

Col. C. C. Cooley died at his
home at the Cooley ranch, near
Pinetop, Sunday after a long
lines incident to old age, being
about Gas we can learn IS years
old. Burial was made at Fort
Apache Monday with military
honors, he having served as a
soldier.
Col. Cooley was one of the
most interesting characters who
ever lived in this section, and
was broad-guaged and liberal
minded. 1t is claimed that he
was possibly without an enemy
in the entire southwest, some
thing extraordinary for any man
to lay claim to after living on the
frontier for so many years, as he
had lived here since away back
in the 7O's, locating the Show

MUCH TALKED OF |. ". ".
STRIKE DEVELOPED MONDAY
Caused Some inconvenience and Reduced
Logging 0peratiOns-Failed to
Accomplish Purpose.

According to Encouragement the
members Of the I. w. w. struck last
Saturday night. Rather, they notified
all employers they would not go to work
Monday morning. This movement,
from such sources of information as we
have, is state wide. The employees of
the lumber mill and box factory OF the
Great Northern Lumber Co. remained
at their post, or at least enough OF them,
to operate these industrial plants. The
logging camps Of the company were,
however, crippled somewhat. Part Of
the logging men, to the number Of
some fifty, came to town. A few took
the train for Seattle or Spokane and the
balance remained about town.
The logging crew at the Peshastin
Lumber Co. and the men employed by
the Leavenworth Box Co. in its logging
operation were also disorganized by the
strike and most OF them quit work.
work. Tuesday the Great Northern
Lumber Co. was operating one donkey
engine in its logging camp.
The Peshastin Lumber Co. closed its
logging camp Monday and Tuesday
but resumed operations Wednesday.
The saw mill on the hill south of town
had to close its logging camp and will
probably be closed all this week but
expect to resume work the first OF next
week.

ONE IN 33 MUST BE TAKEN
FROM REGISTRATION LIST
Chelan's Quota viii Be About 81
Possibly 11S-Countys Registration
is 1907.

One in 33-that is the chance the
young man who registered in Chelan
county runs OF being drafted for actual
service in the new federal army accord
ing to estimates made today.
The ratio OF men selected by the
lottery wheel to the population of the
county will be smaller than this, but
when the exemptions are estimated the
ratio becomes about one in 80. The
total registration OF the county was
1907, accordingly the county would be
required to furnish So members of the
new national army. The war depart
ment credits Washington with popu-
lation of 1,166,S5s, while that Of the
United States is estimated at 100000,
900. The state is called upon for
1863 men or 1.12 per cent of the
total number required in the whole
county.
A much higher percentage, however
Il in lis found if the computation
is made upon a straight-away basis
announced by the war department at
Washington, which says that each city,
county or state must furnish two-thirds
of per cent OF its paper population"
to the draft.
Chelan countY's paper population is
given at 1900 and on the basis Of
two thirds OF / per cent the county
would be required to furnish 118 men.
Secretary Baker has announced that
in the drawing to select men for draft
into the war. army numbers will be
drawn representing every one OF the
nearlu IN nm mo registered, so that
each man may know the order In which
he is liable to be called for service.
Liability will be fixed by the order
in which the names come out. There
are some 5000 districts with numbered
registration cards, so the first number
drawn will represent the first 5000 to
appear before the exemption boards.
1t is estimated that so per cent oi
the men examined will be exempted
or fail to pass the physical examination,
SO that more than a million men
probably will appear before the boards
before the 6S7, 900 or more wanted on
the first call are obtained. -Wenatchee

Never before in the history Of the
Northwest has there been so much
activity in industrial lines as has been
felt during the past few months and the
number OF men on the payrolls is in
creasing almost daily. Business houses
and even the city and county are cry
ing for men to help handle their work
owing to the fact that hundreds are
either going to war or have quit theiI
old jobs to join the ship building plants.
Wages are high and business generally
is Of the best. Business men are o.
the opinion that the state Of Washing
ton is about TO undergo the greatest
period OF prosperity in its history.
