11'NWORTH BUSINESS MEN
DISCUSS WAR SAVING PLAN
c. w. FinIayson OF Wenatchee Made
Talk at Noon LuncheOn-Made
Good Impression

Mr.. C. w. Finlayson, secretary of
the Wenatchee Comercial Club, and
acting secretary of the County Coun-
Gil of Defense came here by appoint
ment Monday and made a forty-five
minutes talk to the business men
and several visitors from Peshastin,
at a noon luncheon at the Rainier
Cafe. Mr.. Finlayson was intro
duced by B. C. Rutherford, the local
representative of the County Coun-
Gil
He stated first on what authority
the appointment of the Council rest
ed and pointed out the great saving
that could be effected by cooperat-
ing, saving in foodstuff> and labor,
if the business men would close their
stores every day at 6 p. m. and by
restricting deliveries to one each
day. Also by urging on their GUS
toners economical buying, the buy
ing of necessities rather than luxur-
les and doing business on a thirty
day basis, to the end that the finan-
cial affairs of the country might be
least disturbed. He stated that
wherever he had been, in Douglas,
Okanogan and Chelan counties, the
livliest interest and a willingness to
carry out the wishes of the govern
ment in regard to food conservation
was shown.
With two or three exceptions ev-
cry business house in Leavenworth
was represented at the luncheon.
NJ. w. Stark, J. A. Warman and
Guy Stage from Peshastin were
present.
Mr. Rutherford says he is conf
dent every business house in Leav-
will observe the instruc-
tions of the Conservation board.
No business houses were open
Monday evening after 6 p. m. and
the deliveries were restricted to one
a day. Mr.. Burke who operates
the Leavenworth delivery system
served printed notice on every bus
mess house and every resident of
the town the first of the week that
only one delivery would be made
each day from this week on.

CHELAN COUNTY TAXES
ARE HIGHER THIS YEAR
Additional Burden Laid On Property
Owners Because of I. w. w. Ac-
tivities-G. N. Ry. to Pay
$4,000 More

The extension of the taxrolls for
1917 has been concluded by County
Assessor E. R. Spencer and the tax
lists have been turned over to the
county treasurer for collection. The
total value of the taxable property
in Chelan county is $16,483, ,459. The
total county tax is $189,163. The
total state levy last year was 7.799
mills. This year it will be 8.486
mills. The county current expense
levy this year will be 1865 mills
which will raise $76,641. In 1916 it
was 4.375 mills, which raised S71,-
624. Several items of expense con-
tributed to this increase of a little
more than $4,000 in the current ex-
pense fund, among them the cost
of guarding and feeding as well as
quartering the I. w. w. rounded up
last summer. The Great Northern
Railway company, owing to an in
crease in the valuation of its prop
erty, will pay about $21,000 more
this year than last.

sfFRECKLES"

Gene Stratton-Porter's popular and
fascinating story "Freckles" in mus
ic drama form, comes to the Scenic
Theater for one night, Wednesday,
Jan. 10th.
Neil Twooney, who dramatized
Mrs. Porter's charming story has
evolved a powerful and interest
compelling song play from a tale
whose chief charms lie in its tender
simplicity and unaffected natural
ness and at the same time has re-
tanned all of the familiar characters
and important incidents of the story.
The almost unlimited scenic pos
sibilities of the Great Indiana Linn
berlost have been taken advantage
of to their full value; this together
with a New York company of sing
ers and players of unusual excel
lence assures an event of great im-
portance.

Merit Elfers, well know in this
city having been employed as meat
cutter in the Frank market about
three years ago died at Camp Lewis
on the fourth of this month. He
had had an operation for appendi-
dicitus which was followed by a Sc
we're attack of the measles which led
to complications. Elfers was 28
years of age and had spent most of
his life in the Wenatchee Valley.
He had a host of friends and his
untimely death is regretted by all.
He was buried in Wenatchee this
week with full military honors.
