CONTRACT FOR $35,OOO GYM
NASIUM WAS LET THIS WEEK
Contract Awarded l.. F. Speidel at
S29,911, with Plumbing and Wir-
ing to Be Added.

The building of the new gymnasium
for the town of Leavenworth, which
was authorized at bonding election
recently held, was awarded this week
to Mr.. Louis F. Speidel, who in the
past has erected many buildings in
this town, not to speak of the many
fruit warehouses he has built all over
the Wenatchee valley. The contract
was awarded to him at $29,911. The
plumbing was let to the X. & V. B.
Hardware Co. at $4,923.62, while the
electric wiring went to the Electric
Supply Co. at $500.
The building sets back of the two
present school buildings and will alb
sorb the heating plant which has
hitherto supplied our schools with
heat, and will take up part of the
sub-basement in the new building.
The new building will be in full view
from Evans street. 1t is 90x110 with
twenty foot projection in front forty
feet wide. The auditorium will be 60
x90, with a twelve foot balcony and
large stage with dressing rooms and
all other conveniences.
The plans call for swimming pool
in the basement but this will not be
completed this year. The walls are to
be completed and the roof on in side
of sixty days, and the entire building
completed so that it can be dedicated
by Thanksgiving.
Work has already begun on the ex-
cavations for the foundation, and
part of the heating plant walls re-
moved. The foundations will be con-
crete and the superstructure brick.
The building will be colonial in archi-
tectural design.

The County Auditors office has
been advised that auto travel over
Blewett pass must stop. Signs have
been placed at both sides of the pass
and the public has been warned that
the road is closed to travel, but tour
lists disregard these warnings and
still use the road. The work at the
present time makes it very dangerous
for the traveller and there is likely to
be loss of life if autoists insist on
using the road.

The repeal of the law becomes ef-

of the very few measures which have
twice been vetoed by a president and
have become laws in spite of the veto.

NEW SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT

We had the pleasure of meeting one
day this week, Mr.. A. T. Sutton, the
new superintendent of Leavenworth's
public schools. Mr.. Sutton comes
highly recommended and we feel sure
he is a worthy successor to Mr.. Os-
born, the retiring superintendent.
He has served as principal of the Col
vile public school and more recently
the Chelan schools. He was fortu-
nate in securing the residence of DR..
Snyder as desirable places of resi-
dence in this town are at a premium.

UPPER VALLEY LAND
BRINGING HIGH PRICES
No Letup in the Demand For Bearing
Orchard Tracts-Prices Continue
To Soar

That the upper Wenatchee Valley
is experiencing a veritable boom in
the sale of orchard land is the opinion
of those familiar with the fruit in
dustry. Not for many years past
has there been as much activity in
orchard land as there is at present.
The price of apple orchards has scared
in the past six months until it has al
most reached dizzy height. Sales
are being made every day at figures
running from $1,000 to $1,000 an acre
and where the orchard is in an un-
usually fine state of cultivation with
the best varieties, 81 800 has has been
paid. There, seems to be no letup in
the number of buyers who are now in
the valley and in the past few months
the real estate dealers have reaped a
golden harvest.
The boom in orchard land started
some three months ago when the
American Fruit Growers Syndicate
commenced buying up the choicest
orchard lands in the valley. Their
holdings are now upward of million
dollars. Since that time the sale of
orchard land has been heavy. The
big investment made by the syndicate
showing that they had confidence in
the district was responsible to a large
extent for the present boom. Fruit
buyers and produce men are of the
opinion that high prices in the apple
game will prevail for many years,
hence the rush to get an apple or
chard. With good prices for their
crop, such as are being offered this
year no investment offers better
return than an apple orchard. The
Wenatchee Valley is also being looked
upon as an ideal place for country
home for the retired business man
and many such sales to parties having
this in mind have been made this
summer.
Among the sales made the past
week in the lower valley we note the
following
H. C. Taylor to Bohlke Fruit Co.
so acres; 20 in bearing orchard, price
$22,500
Ben Kooken has bought the ten acre
bearing orchard at Dryden known as
the Schurle place. Price not given
out.
Kooken Bros have also bought the
Ben Beason five acre tract at North
Dryden.
Herschel James has bought the
Barker place at Dryden.
Geo. and Stephen McKillips have
sold their Is acre Dryden orchard to
H. Smith for $4,000.
j. F. Maxwell has sold his so acres

for $82,500. 40 acres of this place
is in bearing orchard.
w. H. Kirby of Cashmere has pur-
chased the D. Patterson place in Ma
hahum canyon for $4,000. There
are 120 acres in the tract, II of which
are in bearing orchard. The crop
this year will be 5000 boxes.
The six acre orchard of Ray itch
email near Cashmere passed into the
hands of Pickett and Andrews this
week at a price given out as $12,500.

TOMATOES WORTH WEIGHT IN
GOLD

F. B. Utter of the Underwood Fruit
Farm, recently realized $945 from one
apple box full of tomatoes, this being
three times the price he has ever re-
ceived for extra fancy apples. Owing
to the prevailing blight tomatoes are
almost worth their weight in gold
and those who have them will make
money this fall.-Wenatchee World

Labor Day Weather.

Labor day weather, though not bad,
was not as bright and smiling in the
early hours as it might have been. The
gloom of the morning probably dis
couraged many persons who had plans
for outdoor pleasures.
Every now and then the weather gets
out of hand and shows the need for
being brought under a proper state Of
control. It seems to be one of the
few things in life which strongly re-
sist regulation. However, with the
progress that is being made in the art
of regulation it is perhaps possible that
the weather may yet become obedient
to proper authority. The weather bu
reau was instituted not for the pur-
pose of controlling the weather, but
for giving mankind advance inforfna-
ton relating to it. That was all right
in the slow and conservative age in
which men were living a few years
ago, but such moderation is out t-of-
date now. More radical measures are
needed. Congressional investigation
with appropriate legislation is indi-
Gated, with perhaps a few executive
proclamations thrown in. With every
thing else being brought or soon to be
brought under federal control, the
weather should not be allowed to es-
cape.

Gus Army will march in grand review
through the streets Of Washington,
headed by the commanderin-chief. If
efcr there was an opportunity and a
duty to cheer and manifest real en-
thus.asm it will be on that day.
In another part of The Star today
is printed q letter from one who was
once a member of this 1st Division.
He bespeaks for his former comrades a
rousing reception on the day of the
grand review. 1t is readily to be un-
derstood that he feels pride in both
the division and in the city. He wants
to see Washington do itself proud by
showing it's own pride in these men
who were the first to go overseas, the
first to fight and the last of the COM
bat divisions to return.
AS the writer of this letter says. the
people of this city can and do loose
their voices at a base ball game, for

tisanship and enthusiasm in a rousing
manner. Surely the presence in our
streets of these veterans of the great
war, who represent the force that beat
the enemy to his knees, that set a
standard of efficiency for all the world,
that fought in spirit of erusadership
s:Iat has no parallel in the worlds his
tory, for the sake of a principle un-
sullied by any selfish interest, should
arouse the emotions of the people and
cause them to manifest their feelings
in an unmistakable manner.
Let us, then, bear in mind these days
of preparation, while the 1st is gather
ing ON the American shores for the
final review before disbandment, that
we owe them something more than fee
BILE handclappings and stolid stares of
lukewarm interest. We owe them a
welcome home that comes from the

A Labor Conference.

President Wilson's declaration that
he is calling for an early date a con-
ference between representatives of
labor and those who direct labor to
discuss fundamental means of better
ing relations and putting the wage
question upon another footing follows
the line of suggestions frequently
made during the past few weeks that
a frank discussion Of means of adjust.
ment is desirable and necessary.
Neither side could well make the ad-
vance. The President is in position
to do so.
1t has been often said that the in
terests of capital and labor are iden-
tical. The prosperity of one is the
prosperity of the other. The injuries
of one harmfully affect the other. Just
at present both are suffering from too
much prosperity, with a race for ad-
vantage. The problem is to slacken
speed without injuring either Of these
essential sides of the industrial equa-
tion.
Just what the President has in mind
as the possible new "footing" for wages
is matter of speculation, if, indeed,
ne has any plan of his own at all. That
there should be a new footing, how
ever, is evident. The recent success
sion of wage advances based upon ne
cessities arising out of the high cost
of living has been artificial and false.
This is recognized by labor leaders,
who see in the repeated demands for
more pay tendency to seek to cure
symptoms rather than the cause of the
ailment from which the body polite
is suffering.
A conference held in a spirit of de.
sire to effect a real, permanent better
mcnt without aggravating the condi-
lions which aff1ict society today will
inevitably be helpful.

Again, the Mob.

The Knoxville riot contains all the
features that make such an excess SO
hideous. so appalling and so porten-
tous. This is the story:
A crime is committed. A person is
suspected, taken into custody and
locked up. If guilty, he is certain of
punishment. He is of the humblest
station. The power of neither wealth
nor social prestige is possible in his
behalf. If innocent, he is as much
entitled to go clear as if he were a
member of the highest society.
The courts are open, and the proc
'sses of justice running All the agencies
of law and order exist, called into be-
ing by the voice of the people.
But the mob spirit overrules all this

into its own hands, and starts upon the

The officers of the law, in an effort
to preserve order, remove the prisoner

distrustful and implacable, proceeds ON
its errand, and unchains hades on the
town. Lives are taken, among them
that of a young officer of the Regular
Army doing his duty under orders in
an effort to restore order.
Meanwhile, the prisoner, safe in an
other town, is asserting his innocence,
