BIeWeH Pass Road Sees Travel

The Blewett Pass road is getting its
share Of the travel these days according
to Road Supervisor Tom Parish. In the
past month OF June 458 motor driver
vehichles went over the pass. In the
month OF June 1916 only 90 cars used
the pass while at the close Of the year
5000 had been registered. Thirty and
forty cars daily are now going over the
pass, and this year promises to break
all records. Autoists and others who
have been up to the summit are loud
in their praise Of the highway. The
road is in fine shape and has scenic
advantages unequaled in Chelan county.
The road is constantly being i'm
proved and made better. Just now Mr..
Parish has force OF men building
thousand feet OF new road near the
summit. This will do away with bad
hill and reduce the grade from 26% TO
14%. The autoist who has never
made a trip over the Blewett Pass
should do so. He will find it we'll worth
his time,

Dead From Heart Failure.

Mrs. Frank Erickson died very
suddenly last Friday morning from
what the Doctors pronounced heart
failure, at $3.50 a. M, at the family
home on the north side OF the track.
She had not previously complained Of
feeling i'll. She was quite a large
feshy woman. Beside her husband she
leaves two children, Joseph aged 8,
and Esther aged S years. A large
circle OF admiring and devoted friends
keenly feel the loss OF sincere friend
and kind and helpful neighbor. Before
her marriage she became a trained
nurse and the knowledge gained in this
occupation she often employed in
ministering to her friends when in
trouble thru sickness. Many for whom
she made personal sacrifices will have
cause to long remember her kindness
and generosity. Leavenworth friends
sympathise deeply with the husband and
children in their loss, and with her
father and mother who live in New
York City, to who she was a devoted
daughter.
The body was prepared for shipment
to New York By the Leavenworth h
Undertaking Co. and left here Monday
accompanied by the husband and
children.

NEW WFNATCHFF5 5,RIVFR
BRIDGE BURNED ON FOURTH
Damage Estimated at $20,O0O-CauSe
of Fire Undetermined-WII Be
Rebuilt at Once

The new Wenatchee river bridge
completed last spring at a cost Of $50
900 was rendered practically useless
Wednesday last when the wooden
decking caught fire in some way and
burning so damaged the steel structure
as to make it unsafe for travel. The
fire occurred shortly after twelve
o'clock. The county commissioners
met in extra session yesterday and the
Wenatchee World states will at once
let the contract to have the bridge
rebuilt. In the meantime an old bridge
two miles farther up the river will be
used to keep the road between Wenat-
chez and the upper valley open.
The fire is supposed TO have caught
from a passing Great Northern engine,
as the fire originated on the under side
Of the planking, or road deck, which
made it difficult to get at with water.
Excepting the planking the bridge
is wholly constructed OF steel and con
crete and it seems incredible that this
amount of burning wood should have
destroyed a substantial steel bridge.
But report is to the effect that the
steel span is total loss and will have
to be replaced.
Ex- Mayor Day. with an auto party
was at the west end of the bridge short
ly after the fire started and says a
small amount of water would have ex-
tinguished the blaze if it could have
been directed at the right spot.

GEO. ". SAMPSON DIES
AT LAKE WENhTCHEE
Was at Siyerly Home with Wife on Outing
Doctor Says ApopIexy
Caused Death

G. w. Sampson died very suddenly
at the Geo. Siverly home at the head
of Lake Wenatchee Wednesday alter
noon at 1880 from the effects OF what
DR.. Hoxsey pronounced apoplexy, while
on an outing with his wife and daughter.
He left the family group near the house
and started to his auto, few yards
from the Siverly home. Just before
reaching the machine he was seen to
reel and drop to the ground. His wife
and friends rushed to his side only to
find him unconscious, from which he
never recovered and was pronounced
dead in less than fifteen minutes after
wards. He had complained some si
not feeling we'll and said his stomach
troubled him and that he supposed it
was caused by indigestion, from which
ailment he had been a chronic sufferer.
AS quickly as he could be found Mr..
o. S. Sampson, his brother, was notified
and left here about six o'clock for the
lake. Nothing could be done and he
left directions to bring the body of his
brother to Leavenworth, and himself
brought Mrs. G. w. Sampson and little
daughter to Leavenworth.
G.. w. Sampson was fiftY-two years
old and came to Leavenworth from Hot
Springs, Arkansas, in 1909, and has
since made his home here. with, the ex-
ception Of the last eighteen months,
during which time he had charge of
branch store of the Leavenworth Mer-
camille Co., OF which he was member.
He bought new Overland car some
two weeks ago and last Sunday was his
first trip in the new car. He and his
wife with their little daughter decided
to spend the Fourth at the Siverly
home at the upper end OF Wenatchee
lake. He complained to his wife of
not feeling first rate, but she rallied
him with the remark that the trip
would probably do him good.
Since coming to Leavenworth Mr..
Sampson has made a large circle of
friends, he was good citizen and his
untimely ending came as a great shock
10 the community.
The body was prepared for shipment
to his old Missouri home, Butler county,
by the Leavenworth Undertaking Co.
Before shipment it lay in the Masonic
hall for several hours, Of which frater-
nifty he was an honored member. An
other brother, Henry Sampson arrived
from Coeur de Alene on No yesterday.
The remains were shipped this morn
ing to Missouri, accompanied by Mrs.
Sampson.

SERIOUS FIRE OCCURRED
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
Three 0uthOuses Totally Destroyed and
Two Residences Badly Damaged.

The fire which broke out Yesterday
on the east end OF Commercial street
about $3.50 p. m. threatened to assume
serious proportions. But for the prompt
arrival and hard and successful work Of
the fire fighters there is no telling
where it might have ended. At least
dozen substantial residences were
exposed to serious danger. The FIRE
broke out in an clubhouse in the rear Of
a house belonging to the Friend estate,
occupied by A. J. O'Leary and quickly
spread to two more outhouses in the
rear OF two residences owned by the
father OF Mayor Hale. A high wind
was blowing and the fire brigade, with
the help OF willing volunteers had
hard fight to prevent the total destruct-
ion Of the two Hale residences, both Of
which were occupied and were badly
damaged. An clubhouse in the rear Of
a residence occupied by Lou Brender
caught fire but was put out. If the
fire had not been promptly subdued by
plentiful supply Of water from two
three inch hose the residences OF A. E.
James and Postmaster Hamilton would
have been burned and these would
have conveyed the fire to six or eight
other residences, and there is no telling
where it would have stopped. Never
has our splendid water system given
better evidence Of its worth, or the fire
fighters done better work.
The loss on the two Hale houses is
estimated at from twelve to fifteen
hundred dollars and is protected by in
surance. The loss on the outhouses and
contents will amount to approximately
$500 The larger of the two Hale
houses was occupied by the Kicker
brothers and their sister The other by
Conductor Hartman Both Miss Kicker
and Mrs. Hartman were overcome by
smoke and excitement and had to be
carried to the homes Of neighbors.
The household goods of the two fam
lilies were badly damaged by water and
in the hurried manner in which they
were removed. Most all the goods
were taken out.

Company has just installed new II
So type switchboard manufactured by
the Western Electric Company who are

service requires it. and this is great
help.

THE FEDERAL DRY LAW
BOotleggers viii Get All That's Coming
to Them and Then Some.

In less than three weeks from this
time the aridity Of Washington should
become so pronounced that cracks in
the surface OF the tongues OF those who
imagine they must have a wee bit for
the stomach's sake should be easily
obserable, as undoubtedly the most Of
this class will go about with tongues
hanging out. On July l sections S Of
the act of congress, approved March 8,
1917, became operative in Wash
ington. This congressional act i'm
poses penalties Of 81, 900 fine aud six
months in federal prison for the first
offense, and its provisions will be en-
forced by federal officials. The para
graph OF the federal law that has been
most emphasized reads:
Whoever shall order, purchase, or
cause intoxicating liquors to be trans
ported in interstate commerce, except
for scientific, sacramental, medicinal
and mechanical purposes, into any state
or territory the laws of which state or
territory prohibit the manufacture or
sale therein Of intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes shall be punished as
aforesaid"
There is no lack Of clarity in the
combination OF words and it will in
deed be foolhardy shipper Of booze,
or a bootlegger, who will care so lay
himself liable to prosecution under its
provisions in federal court. But il
this were not enough to insure
an increase dryness in the States
situated as Washington is, another
section OF the same act OF congress will
cause further diminution in the supply
of liquor in the state, or at least lessen
the opportunities for securing liquid re-
freshments. The section referred to is
as follows:
No letter, postal card, circular,
newspaper, pamphlet, or publication OF
any kind containing any advertisement
OF spirituous, vinous, matted, fermented
or other intoxicating liquors Of any
kind, or containing a solicitation Of an
order or orders for said liquors, or any
of them, shall be deposited in or carried
by the mails OF the United States or be
delivered by any postmaster or letter
carrier, when addressed or directed to
any person, firm, corporation, or associa-
tion, or other sddressee, at any place
or point in any state or territory Of the
United States at which it is by the law
in force in the state or territory at that
time unlawful to advertise or solicit
orders for such liquors, or any Of them,
respectively"
