IN MEMORY OF MRS. D. M. CLARKE

l.
My precious one, we grieve to think
Of you dear. that you should leave
/ us to mourn for your presence Our
hearts are made sad and our eyes
are blinded with tears.
Your place is still vacant in our
home, but God loved you best and
needed you most for his mansion. He
now has another beautiful rose, an
ever blooming one; one whose frag-
rance was too sweet and pure for
this earth. How we miss you, dear, no
words can tell.
The home is so empty, 80 cold and
lacking Of your presence, sadly sor-
rowful to look upon and heart-break-
ing to think OF.
Still we feel she is there some
where. Her devoted relations live
to remember her as one Of Gods Holy
Angels. When shall we forget her
lovely qualities and beautiful traits
of character as she was known? We
ought to be comforted to know she
is one of those who has gone to
make Heaven more beautiful. The
loss is felt keenly, but God shall be
our guide and prepare us to meet her
on the other shore, and her memory
remains to sweeten our thoughts OF
our loved one unbroken till death calls
and life's work is done.
When the last is ended,
And the nights are through;
When the last sun is buried
In the grave of blue.
When the last lip is palsied.
And the last prayer said;
Love shall reign immortal
Where the world lies dead.
Mama"

Multiplying Crime.

1t has developed that certain young
men wh) refused to register last Tues
day because they were under age have
heretofore sworn they we're OF age in
order to secure liquor permit. Their
last swear was probably the truth. At
least they will probably contend that it
was. for the reason that thev prefer to
face trial in the state courts TO taking
their chances in the Federal courts.
Yesterday a young Leavenworth man
confessed that he was not twenty one
when be secured his marriage license
short time ago and asked if now he
claimed exemption because he was not
twenty one if he would be subject to
prosecution. He was advised to stick
to his first story and go and register.

RFn CR0SS TAG DAY
WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL
leavenwOrth People Gave Up $270--LO-
cal Auxiliary Now Has Membership
of 16O

The ladies who promoted the Red
Cross movement, no less than those
who took an active part in making it a
success last Tuesday, by soliciting
membership and funds for this most
worthy cause, deserve unstinted praise.
Now that our own country is in the
greatest war this old world has any
record of, it behooves US to do our
part. Right generously did the people
Of Leavenworth respond. One Of the
ladies who took an active part remarked
to the writer that she had occasion
to be reminded on several occasions
of the truth of the old adage, He
gives twice who gives willingly"
The sum above mentioned will be
still further augmented by some who
have not been approached and Others
who were unavoidably absent from town
last Tuesday.

Accident on Viadud

! Bill Van Brocklin driving Harry
Krollpfeiffer's Ford, had an unusual ac-
cident on the viaduct Monday noon.
He was making the ascent on the north
side of the bridge when suddenly the
steering gear failed to work. Bill shut
off the power and applied the brakes
but even then the car crashed into the
bridge railing tearing of several boards.
Fortunately for Mr.. Van Brocklin he
was travelling at low rate Of speed
Had he been travelling as fast as many
Of the motorists do when crossing the
viaduct he would undoubte d ly
have gone thru the railing and fallen
to the ground below some twenty or
thirty feet An examination showed
that the trouble was due to a broken
radius rod. Mr.. Krollpfeiffer is con-
graduating himself that the trouble oc-
cured as it did as the results could
easily have been more serious. The
breaking OF radius rod at many points
on the road between this city and We
natchee might end in tragedy. 1t
behooves the autoist to be more careful.

that the law under which the registration

WANT MEN TO ENLIST
FOR MACHINE GUN TROOPS
Spokane Office Anxious to Get Recruits
Between the Ages of IS and 45
Years-fnliStmenti is FOR Dur
alton of War Only

A special effort to enroll men who
have seen service in the national guard
or u. S. army is being made by Captain
Lawson Moore and Lieutenant Fred
Insinger who are recruiting the new
mounted machine gun troop in Spokane.
I'VE would impress upon men who
have seen service the fact that this is
the only force not in the federal service
which is commended by West
Pointers" said Lieutenant Insinger.
I'VE are accepting recruits between
the ages OF 18 and As and giving
special preference to service men. We
accept married men if their families
are not dependent.
1T should be borne in mind that
this is cavalry troop armed with
machine guns instead Of the customary
cavalry equipment. The troop will be
attached to the cavalry squadron Of the
National Guard and thus will occupy a
unique position -
Men who desire to enlist in the
machine gun troop are notified that
they can come to Spokane and be
sworn in now and then go home and
attend to their affairs until July D., as
the troop is not to be called to field
service until that date. Enlistment is
for the duration of the war only.
The pay of privates is $50, corporals,
mechanics, saddlers and farriers, $50
and sergeants, horseshoers, cooks and
packers $41 a month.
Recruiting headquarters are at North
100 Wall St. in the Hypotheek Bank
Building.

says present plans contemplate the
operation of the saw mill about the

mill is located about four miles
south of town and is surrounded by an
excellent body Of timber. 1t is
estimated that it will be possible to cut
between two and three million feet of
lumber between now and fall. The
lumber will be hauled to the old
Leavenworth Lumber Co.'S mill just
across from town and there converted
into fruit boxes, the demand for which
this fall is expected to surpass anything

MORE TAX MONEY FOR THE
lEAVFNWORTH SCHOOLS.
School District 49 viii Have Between
$15O,OOO and 5000, 900 Additional
Tax Valuations.

Because of the active interest taken
by a number of Leavenworth citizens
in the welfare of our public school,
District 4o will hereafter have ad-
ditional tax valuations aproximating
100000. This should add some
$4,000 to the yearly available public
school money. Because there are ad-
joining districts where the tax valuations
are wholly out Of proportion to the
small scholastic population it was
thought not improper to attach some oi
this territory to district No. 4o where
the scholastic population is large and it
is found almost impossible to maintain
adequate school facilities on the funds
available. A move was made last winter
under a law permitting the County
School Superintendent TO change the
districts by detaching territory from
some districts and adding it to adjacent
districts where, upon showing made,
additional tax money was needed to
keep schools up to the requirement.
After notice was given to all the dis
tricts affected a hearing was had in
County School Superintendent Bowersox
Office last Tuesday morning, and there
being no valid objection it was an
nounced by Mr.. Bowersox, County
Attorney Williams concurring in the
statement. that the request OF the
school directors Of Dist. 49 would be
:c1 IN mart if it annears that the lau
has been complied with in asking fol
the change of boundary lines.
The Leavenworth people who attend
ed the hearing were School Director N
Patterson, School Superintendent
Osborne, o. S. Sampson, Geo. L,
Gardner, L. w. Woodrow, Deed H
Magyar, J. w. Elliott, L. o. Taylor
and F. T. Motteler.
