LfAVENWORTH MORE THAN
DOUBLES HER VICTORY LOAN
She Was Asked to Raise $4,000 and
Showed Up With $84,200, Includ-
ing the Railroad Men

Leavenworth came out with flying
colors in the victory loan drive last
Saturday, the last day of the drive,
which gives her an unbroken record
of having gone over the top every
time the government has asked the
people for money to carry on the war.
The Leavenworth district was asked
for $39,375 and raised $58,200, to
which must be added $4,000 sub
scribed by the railroad men of Leav-
enworth thru the Great Northern rail
road, of which ten per cent was paid
in cash, as required by the government
and the balance will be deducted from
their pay checks as provided under the
rules governing the subscriptions.
Our Boy Scouts fairly covered them
selves with glory. Their services were
enlisted the last week of the drive and
they secured total of $4,000. Orvil
Dahlgren led the list with $780,;
Leonadr Brender, 81, 400 and Clinton
Couchman $500. Each of the boys
will receive a war medal from the
secretary of the treasury. They Sc
cured the pledges of 81 subscribers.
Leavenworth's subscription was the
highest in the north central Washing
ton district and will entitle her to an
honor flag.

new CONCRETE GARAGE WILL
Be BUILT ON EIGHTH STREET
Eight Residences Are Under COnstruc
tiOn Principally On the North
Sales.--future Looks Good

While two old dilapidated store
buildings are being torn down on
Front street, property owners on the
north side of the track are building
residences. Some four or five OF
entirely new structures while others
are substantial additions to old build
ings.
The Scenic Garage, it is understood
is having plans made for a concrete
garage on Eighth street on the corner
opposite the Echo building. 1t will
be sixty foot square with the floor and
walls of concrete. ]. D. Wheeler owns
the adjoining lot and has been ap-
preached to take an interest in the
partition wall and may possibly decide
to also build. Once the building idea
takes possession of vacant lot owners
there is no telling what may happen
At the present time it is almost inn
possible to find residence for rent
and as a result there has been consid-
cradle activity in real estate this
spring.

FIRST CAR OVER BLEWETT PASS

William Doelle, Cashmere hard
ware merchant, drove over Blewett
Pass Sunday in his Ford, and pro-
nounced the road in first class shape.
Mr.. Doelle left Cashmere early in the
morning, drove over the summit, al
most to Mountain Home and back
again, making the round trip in about
five hours. There was no snow on the
mountain and very little mud, and in
week or ten days the road will be
first class for travel.
Mr.. Doelle has the distinction of
making the first trip over this noted
mountain pass this year. Early in
the season it was thot that Snoqualmie
would be open before Blewett, but this
year Blewett is open several weeks
before it is possible to clear Snoqual-
mie Pass.
Reports from Seattle are to the eff
feet that the Snoqualmie is open to the
summit on the King county side, but
there are four feet of snow remaining
on the portions of the Kittitas county
side, and there is little hopfiof opening
this road before June 1st9
It is the expectation that road work
will be commenced on the Blewett pass
highway very soon and an excess of
100000 will be spent by the govern
ment, state and county within the next
two years.-Wenatche World.

PIONEER RESIDENT DIED IN
WENATCHFE LAST TUESDAY
Mrs. S. A. Potter Passed Away This
Week-Funeral and Interment
Took Place Yesterday

Mrs. S. A. Potter, who died in We
natchee hospital last Tuesday morn
ing was a pioneer resident of Leav-
enworth, coming here in 1892, and
made her home here ever since.
She returned from California, where
she spent the winter, about the first
of April last, apparently in excellent
health, and shortly there after de-
veloped symptoms of an alarming ma
ture and was removed to Wenatchee,
where she died from what the ply
sicians pronounced paralysis.
Her maiden name was Mary Ann
Nelson. She was born in Albert Lea
Minnesota, April 27, 1862. She was
married to John Tholin at Rochester
Mimi, Aug. 4, 1878. Of this union
two children were born, Anna A. (now
Mrs. Fred Reeves) and John Edward
Tholin both of whom now reside in
Wenatchee. John Tholin died De-
cember 10, 1917, and on October 30,
1911 she was married to Mr.. S. A.
Potter of Leavenworth.
She was confirmed when young
woman in the Scandinavian Lutheran
church at Rochester Mimi,
Besides the members of her imme-
diate family her loss is mourned by a
host of friends thruout Chelan county.
Funeral services were held in the
Episcopal church Thursday morning
and interment was had in the Wenat-
chez Mausoleum. 1t is also under
stood that the body of Mr.. Tholin will
be removed from the Leavenworth
cemetery and deposited by the side of
his wife.
The following Leavenworth people

CAMP FIRE NOTES

"Hold on to Health" is the fifth
point of the Camp Fire law.
Happy womanhood is almost insep-
arably bound up with healthy woman
hood. Many who lack health achieve
happiness, but it comes as a natural
thing to the healthy woman.
The foundations of health are laid
in youth and the Camp Fire by en-
phasizing the things that make for
health, and by placing the thot of
health as the central idea in the
watchword "Wohelo" seeks to influ-
ence girls to build up strong, healthy
bodies.
Most girls enjoy an outdoor life, and
thru the other activities of the camp
this healthy outdoor existence can be
made two-fold joy, bringing not
only added health, but added knowl
edge and love for the things of the
great out-of-doors.
Girls are often tempted to do
CnlnRS U1ldI dTG injurious W bilSll
health. This point of the law seeks
to make the girls think twice before
entering on any project that would be
apt to injure their health.
The best health can not be obtained
without knowledge of the laws of
health. This knowledge is part of
that which the Camp tries to teach.
The girls of both Camps have be-
gun work on their head bands. These
bands are decorated with symbol
which stands for the girls Camp Fire
name.
The girls of the Sorangetaha Camp
met last week at the home of Mrs. i.
J. Nelson. Only a few were present
but those who were there considered
the meeting success.
The Kecooset Camp met with Julia
Biles. Besides accomplishing quite a
little work the girls had very pleas
ant afternoon.

NEW BUILDING FOR G. N. RY. co.

A railroad official was here this
week to arrange for the building of a
commodious and substantial building
on the roundhouse grounds for use as
wash and toilet room for the rail-
road men. The present accomoda-
tions are inadequate an entirely un-
sanitary. He consulted with Round
house foreman R. L. Smith about the
location and on the blue print which
carried the plans for the wash room,
were also the plans for new twenty
eight stall rounhouse. The blue print
was issued last year. Indications are
that the wash room will be built at
once but there has been no definite
announcements concerning the round
house.

BLEWETT PASS OPEN

County Road Superintendent Parish
made the announcement the first of
the week that the Blewett Pass road
was opened to travel on Wednesday.
He has a force of men engaged in
clearing up the road for the past ten
days and already several cars have
made the trip across the mountains.
This is about ten days earlier than it
was first believed the road would be
open. Contractor Hansen, who will
build an eight mile stretch of road
over the summit is already on the
ground and plans to start the work at
an early date.

REPUBLICANS TO CONSIDER
THE LEAGUE ON ITS MERITS
Partisanship Will Play No Part in
Consideration of Peace Covenant
Criticism Will Be Frank.

Washington, May 15.-Efforts to
make it appear that republican sena-
tors are considering the covenant for
the league of nations from a partisan
standpoint will fail. The question in
volved transcends partisanship. Sen
ate republicans expect to confer, and
take counsel of one another's views
but they say that any notion there
will be any attempt to caucus and
bind members to do this or that is
without foundation.
A part of the democratic side, too,
will rise above partisanship in the
consideration of the covenant. On the
other hand, certain democratic sena-
tors who were just as enthusiastic for
the league before it was revised as
they are now, will think along polit-
ical lines only, and abjectly do what
ever the administration wants done.
They would have voted for it without
protection for the Monroe Doctrine
just as readily as they will vote for
it now.
Enough senators will study the
proposition deeply and seriously to
make it certain the country will hear
one of the great debates of this gen
Grafton when it is discussed. 1t will
be debate characterized by exposi
tions of Americanism which will be
worth while.
That the covenant has been i'm
proved by the criticisms which were
directed against the original instru
ment by such men as Lodge, Root,
Cummins, Borah, Knox, Hiram John
son, Poindexter, and other prominent
republicans is not seriously disputed
by any considerable number of the
league supporters in either house of
congress.
Reports that there is anything like
final alignment of the senate are not
we'll founded. Comparatively few
senators, save those committed to the
covenant from the start, have said
how they will vote on the final test.
Just what the parliamentary situation
will be is not yet plain and cannot be
until the text of the peace treaty is
given out. 1t is obvious there will be
great debate and hard controversy
over amendments proposed to the COW
enant and probably the hardest fight
of all will rage about the provisions
that look to the guarantee of terri
torial integrity of nations, which
means underwriting of the boundary
lines of the world as the league maps
them out.

$500 PER YEAR
HIRING LABOR PROHIBITED

Utah miners in Park City district
decided to quit work unless their de
mands for "a six hour day, $3.50 per
day and two men on drilling ma
chines," are complied with.
The mine it is said will close in
definitely. With copper selling be-
low cost of production and approx
mately 1,3OO,OO0,0O0 in storage is a
poor time to strike.
Instead of helping the situation,
strikes such as this simply drive the
cost of living a notch higher and
creates unemployment by making the
cost of hiring labor prohibitive.

WHEAT PROSPECT FINE

A winter wheat production of 26,-
846,5O0 bushels for the state of Wash
ington is indicated for next fall by
the condition of the crop May l, it is
declared in the monthly report of
julius Fl. Jacobson, field agent of the
federal bureau of crop estimates in
charge. This will exceed the states
combined spring and winter wheat
crop of 1918 by over 100000 bushels,
the report says.
The present acreage, 962,230, is a 3
per cent loss from last fall, compared
with per cent abandonment last sea-
son. Condition of the crop May was
80 per cent of normal.

FORESTRY DEPARTMENT WILL
SPEND $16S,OOO ON BLEWFTT
The Contract Has Been Let and the
Work Will Begin at Once-Head-
Quarters LeavenwOrth

The contract for the improvement
of eight and one-half miles on the
Blewett Pass road was let last week to
Otto Hansen of Spokane. Mr.. Pow
ers, who will have charge of the work,
has been here and arranged to open
his headquarters at Leavenworth.
Seven miles of the work is on the
Chelan side of the mountain and one
and half on the Kittitas side. The
first stretch is from Ingalls, creek to
Niger creek, where a change in the
road location will be made and where
some heavy work is to be done. The
other work to be done on the Chelan
county side is between Shazer creek
and the summit. On the Kittitas
county side there is mile and half
of road from Mountain home ranch
west to be improved. When this work
is completed the road across the
mountain by way of Blewett will be
on a minimum grade and will COM
pare with the best mountain roads in
the state. 1t is not to be hard sur
faced at this time but later on it is
contemplated that it will all be paved
with concrete.
The main camp of the contractor
will be located at ingalls, creek. The
entire work is being done under the
supervision of the agricultural depart
ment of the federal government and
will be under the direct charge of the
office of public roads.

The city's street sprinkler wagon
arrived this week but a lack of motive
power is responsible for it's not hav-
ing been put promptly into use. There
is talk of the city buying a tractor
to operate the sprinkler and grader
and for such other uses as a team of
horses would be required. 1t is gen.
orally believed that a tractor would
give better service and taking the
cost of feed into consideration would
be cheaper than a team of horses.
