THE INFLUENZA CONDITION I'M
PROVING

The flu condition, a bit less than
the war, gives cause for congratula-
ton. DR.. Judah says there is de
cided improvement in the last
three days. In the past forty-eight
hours no new cases have developed
and all those who have been down
with it are improving. In a Japanese
logging camp where seventeen jap
anese were employed, all contracted
the disease. One died the first part
of the week but the balance are all in
a fair way to early and complete re-
covery.
DIR. Elmer says he thinks the influ-
enza condition in Leavenworth has
shown improvement for several days
and believes that from now on condi-
tions will continue to improve. Mrs.
Fouts, living in the western part of
town, developed case of the pre-
vailing disease he says, but this
morning showed improvement and is
in a fair way to recovery.

COMMISSIONERS INSPECT Ma
SON CREEK BRIDGE

Commissioners Hickey and Cade-
man, accompanied by County Engi-
neer Duff, passed thru Leavenworth
yesterday on their way home from
Mason creek, where they inspected
the new Mason creek bridge and the
road improvements. A substantial
bridge was recently completed on the
road from Winton to Lake Wenatchee.
The road was also changed so that a
steep hill is avoided. The road be-
tween Winton and Wenatchee lake is
now in first class condition for travel
with all steep grades eliminated by
slight change in the old road.
The party arrived here just about
dinner time, but on account of the
scheduled celebration of the signing
of the peace treaty all the eating
houses were closed and the party de-
cided to go to Cashmere for dinner.
County Engineer Duff is temporarily
occupying Engineer Berry's place
while the latter is off on war duty.

ANOTHER LIBERTY LOAN
COMING

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has announced that, no matter what
the results of the pending overtures
for peace may be, there will be an
other Liberty loan. To use his eX-
preston, eve are going to have to
finance peace for while just as we
have had to finance war;"
There are over 100000 United
States soldiers abroad. If we trans
port these men back to the United
States at the rate of 100000 month,
it will be over half year before they
are all returned. Our army, there
fore must be maintained, victualed,
and clothed for many months after
peace is an actuality.
The American people, therefore,
having supported the Liberty loan
with a patriotism that future histor-
ians will love to extole, will have an
opportunity to show the same pa
triotism in financing the just and con-
elusive victorious peace whenever it
comes.
Not for a moment, however, is the
treasury acting on any assumption
that peace is to come soon. Until
peace is actually assured the attitude
of the treasury and the attitude of
the whole United States government
is for the most vigorous prosecution
of the war, and the motto of force
against Germany without stint or
limit will be acted up TO until peace
is an absolute accomplished fact.
One more Liberty loan, at least, is
certain. The fourth loan was popu-
larly called the Fighting Loan" the
next loan may be fighting loan, too,
or it may be peace loan. Whatever
the conditions, the loan must be pre-
pared for and its success rendered
certain and absolute. Begin now to
prepare to support it.

GERMAN PEACE ENJOYS UNDER
WHITE FLAG WANT TO SEE fOCH
II is Believed that it Will be Several
Days Before Peace Treaty is
Signed

To set at rest the report circulated
yesterday that peace treaty had
been signed the following dispatches
in the daily press of October are =
printed:
Washington, D. c., Nov. Tt was
officially announced at the state de-
partment at 2:15 o'clock this after
noon that the Germans had not signed
armistice terms.
Secretary Lansing authorized the
statement that the German armistice
delegation would not be received by
General Foch until five o'clock this
Afternoon.
The secretary's announcement came
after Washington had been celebrat-
ing for two hours on the strength of
an unofficial report that the armis-
tice terms had been accepted.
In spite of the fact that officials
did not accept the report as true,
demonstrations presisted. President
Wilson left the lunch table to see from
the veranda what was going on out
side and waved his napkin to the
crowd before the white house
gates.
The state department was advised
that Marshal Foch would receive the
German ENJOYS at five o'clock p. m.
French time (noon eastern United
States)
The unofficial report which started
celebrations had said the armistice
had been signed at II O'Clock French
time, or six hours before the time set
for the meeting.
Later it was learned that at IL
o'clock this morning, when the navy
censors reported an unofficial cable
gram from Paris saying the armistice
had been signed, an official message
of inquiry was rushed to Paris and
three hours later brought reply on
which Secretary Lansing based his
announcement.
At $3.50 o'clock this afternoon it was
said officially that the United States
government had not been advised of
the signing of an armistice.
Three-thirty o'clock Washington
time is approximately $50 p, m. in
Paris.
Captain Pratt, acting chief of naval
operations, authorized the statement
at 3:45 o'clock this Afternoon that
the navy had received no official in
formation whatever of the signing of
an armistice. This was in denial of
persistent reports that had given out
such information.
Paris, Nov. -Four German off
GERS bearing white flags, it is off
cially announced, probably will arrive
at the headquarters of Marshal Foch
tonight.
A considerable crowd gathered
around the war office today awaiting
news of the result of the German ap-
plication, under flagof truce, for an
armistice, although it is generally be-
lieved that several days will pass be-
fore a truce can be arranged.

THERE SEEMS TO BE HOPE


Any western state having vast areas
of public land with oil and waiter
power resources awaiting develop
ment would be greatly crippled by
national policy which prevented pri-
vate development of these enterprises.
If such properties are withdrawn
from jurisdiction of the state and in
dividual development discouraged
millions would be taken from the tax
rolls which other property would have
to make up, as all government prop
erty is exempt from state and local
taxes.
School funds, reclamation projects
and road funds would be crippled by
just that much and development in
our sparcely settled western states
would be at the mercy of POLITICAL
log rolling in the east.
There seems to be hope that the
socialistically inclined politicians adj
vocating such policy under the guise
of conservation, will be defeated in
their attempt to put such program
through as a national policy.

THE CITY PRIMARY ELECTION
DEVELOPED A WARM CONTEST
Mayor and Councilman Nominated by
the Sticker Method

The primary city election was all
that a side show is to the main circus
last Tuesday. 1t furnished abundant
opportunity for diversion. The fact
that contest for the nomination of
a mayor and three councilmen Tor
councilwomen, if you will have it sol
by what is called the sticker method,
was passed up to the voters, made the
city primary unusually interesting
There were sample ballots to show
the voter where the sticker should be
stuck, and circulars, and more circu-
lars, to lombard and bewilder the vo-
ter There were also the usual num-
Der of eleventh hour campaign can
ards. The wonder is that the humble
voter, man or woman, behaved with
forbearance and good humor until
the polls closed. Perhaps it is due
to the fact that everybody was
duly sober. Anyway, there was no
scrapping. Not even a verbal al
tercation, within the knowledge of the
reporter.
DIR. G. w. Hoxsey was nominated
for mayor by stickers, as was Mr.. A.
c. Barclay for councilman-at-large.
Unless the election in December
makes some changes, which is not
likely, the next city government will
have woman for city treasurer and
two women on the council.
Below is detailed statement of the
result of the city primary:

CANCELING DECLARATION TO
BECOME CITIZENS LOSES LAND
So Decides Attorney General Tanner
Will Bring Suit Forfeit
ing Title

Attorney General Tanner filed suit
last week to escheat to the state for
the school fund 200 acre farm near
Helm, owned by Jacob Rychen, a
Swiss, who cancelled his declaration
of intention to become an American
citizen to escape military service.
Rychen was called by the Thurston
county draft board and renounced his
first citizenship papers, claiming ex-
emption as an alien. Under the law
he cannot own property. c. Eur
schmeide and wife were made parties
to the suit, as not having acted in
good faith in taking out their first
papers.
Attorney General Tanner an
nounced that he had been bringing
such suits in other parts of the state
but had asked that no publicity be
given. He decided today to announce
his intention to file suit to escheat the
land of every other alien who re-
nounces citizenship to escape the
draft, if he can obtain enough infor-
nation. Persons having obtained in
formation concerning the holding of
land by aliens who have claimed ex-
emption from the draft may give the
facts to the attorney generals office
and court proceedings will be started
in cases where the evidence justifies
action. Several judgements in favor
of the state already have been won by
the attorney generals office in sim
ilar cases.

ANOTHER BOOST

The food administration has ad-

The people will be glad to save the
bread for the allies, as requested, but
they would like to see some action
taken to bring the substitutes within
reasonable price limits

MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO CHANGE
APPLE GRADING RULES
Boxed Apples to Come Under Uniform
Federal Rules-Washington Grow
ers to Meet at Spokane Dec. 1913.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 6-All box
apples marketed in the United States
are likely to be governed by new
grading rules, promulgated by fed
eral laws, as the result of extensive
investigations which have been car
ried on for over year by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, and which
are now being brouht near close.
Such a law would make sweeping
changes in the grading of northwest
ern apples, and if sentiment crystal
ICES along the lines now indicated,
such changes are highly probable.
Under the present system each of
the northwestern states is governed
in apple grading by state laws. In
a general way these grades are SIM
liar, but there are differences which
often make complications in market
ing and result in dissatisfaction to
grower and dealer. This is especially
true where an apple growing district
is divided by state line. On one
side of the line the grade for GER
tain variety of apple may call for a
certain percentage of COLOR, while so
feet away in sister state, different
percentage is upheld by the law. Un-
der the proposed federal system of
grading all such differences would be
eliminated-the same standards OBJ
tanning for all box apples packed for
interstate shipment.
The proposal to change the grades
and to establish new standards by fed
eral law will be the big subject of dis
cussion at joint conference of apple
growers and other fruit men to be
held in Spokane December 1913 in
connection with the annual meeting
of the state horticultural society.
Beginning about year ago the
bureau of markets of the department
of agriculture instituted an investiga-
ton of the grades in the western
states. Conditions were thoroughly
examined and questionnaires were
sent out to thousands Of growers and
to dealers, the result being a mass of
data from which the proposed law
was conceived. Washington growers
are among the last to receive these
missionaries, which were mailed
from Olympia this week. In this
connection it is noticed thaht the state
authroities are cooperating fully with
federal officials in seeking a common
ground for new regulations. NJ. L.
Dean, in charge of the state horticul-
tural department an Olympia, is work
ing with S. Fl. Boddington, represent
ing the federal bureau of markets.
1t is their joint hope to bring the
whole matter to head at the coming
assembly in Spokane in December.
The conference in Spokane will be
advisory in its nature, but as the
whole northwest will be represented,
and as the northwest produces 80 per
cent of the box apples of the nation,
it is regarded as certain that adop-
ton of new grades at this meeting
would be followed by federal action
as desired. Meantime every effort is
being made TO crystalize sentiment
before the meeting.
Just what shall constitute the pro-
posed new grades is yet to be de-
termined. There is much support
for two-grade standard in many of
the big apple districts. In other sec
tons desire has been shown TO ad-
here 70 the three grade repnlatinns.

DRIED FRUITS INSTEAD OF
CANDY

they have learned of the many uses.
In one section dainty boxes of home
dried fruits have been prepared for
Christmas gifts and to send to the

stead of candy the children of this
same section use the dried fruits to
satisfy their natural craving for

LIGHT VOTE AT TUESDAYS
ELECTION PROBABLY DUE TOFLU
Webster for Congress Ahead in City,
County and District-Gellatly for
, Representative Wins in City and
County.

Never was an election held under
more favorable weather than that of
last Tuesday. 1t was as perfect fall
day as one could wish. The sun shone
bright and warm all day. The light
vote cast, about two-thirds of normal,
was doubtless due to the prevalence
of the influenza. The fact that there
was no contest for any county office
other than that of representative in
the state legislature, may also have
had dampening effect on the voters.
The interest all centered on Web
ster and Dill for Congress and Gel
latly and Pool for representative.
Judge Webster, the republican candi-
date for congress from the fifth dis
trict, won in the city over his oppo-
nent, C. C. Dill, by six votes, and Mr..
Gellatly won over his democratic op-
ponent by 35.
The bone dry prohibition amend
ment won by 78 for to 62 against,
while the constitutional amendment
convention lost by 55 for to 81
against. This indicates that only
about one in three voters had enough
interest in these matters to indicate
a preference by making cross in the
square.
Jude Webster's majority in Chelan
county, the returns indicate, will be
900. Mr.. Gellatly will lead Mr.. Pool
about 500.
