The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-07-25

1t was reported on the streets the
first of the week that A. Pinch had
sold the Club pool room to James Nc
Cam of Wenatchee. In converse
ton with Mr.. Pinch yesterday we
learned that the deal failed to go
thru on account of Mr.. Mccain not
being able to make arrangements with
Mike Fitz, owner of the building for
a renewal of the lease which expires
a year hence.
Mrs. d. c. Town returned from Sc
attic last Friday by way of Snoqual-
mic pass and Blewett, driving her car
over and back without hitch, halt or
puncture. Considering that some
men look upon this a feat worthy Of
mention, she is considerably elated.
The return trip was made in eight
hours in company with her son-in-law
and nephew, Dale Marble and George
Dye.
Miss Agnes Davis was given
handkerchief shower last Monday eve
ming at the home of her parents Mr..
and Mrs. J. C. Davis. Miss Davis a
member of the Leavenworth High
school graduating class of 1919 eX-
poets to leave next Tuesday for Roch-
ester N. Y, to enter the Training
school for nursing. Her many friends
wish her the best of success in the
work she has chosen.
Mr.. Ralph Curtis motored to Sc
attic last Friday with his wife and
children where the latter will remain
for an indefinite period enjoying the
coast climate by way of change.
Mr.. Curtis returned Monday, accom-
panied by his father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. F. I. Curtis, of Seattle. This
was Mrs. Curtis Seniors first trip
thru the Snoqualmie pass and she eX-
pressed herself as delighted with the
trip. With Mr.. Curtis she returned
to Seattle on No. l Tuesday.
Mr.. J. C. Biles returned from the
west side the first of the week after
spending the past ten days with his
wife taking in the sights in Seattle
He says he found the Sunset highway
from the junction of roads in Kittitas
county to Seattle in better condition
for motoring than ever before.
Across Blewett Pass it was not eX
actly ideal, but not wholly bad, and
when the improvements under way
are completed it will compare with
the best mountain roads in the coun-
try.
Harry Maston returned to Leaven-
worth last Friday, after an absence
of two years, nineteen months of
which was spent in doing his part
against the Huns. He was in the
Chemical and Gas corps and saw five
months of real action. After the ar
mistice he joined a company that trav-
eled over the battle fields salvaging
different kinds of war material and
his travels gave him the opportunity
of seeing big part of Europe. Like
all the rest of the boys, however, he
was glad to get home. Harry says
he has no immediate plans for the
future but doesn't expect he will re-
main in Leavenworth.
It was rumored here this week that
J. A. Warman is soon to resign his
position as manager for the Peshas-
tin Fruitgrowers Association and
would be succeeded by J. Fred Wright.
It is understood that Mr.. Warman has
been offered much higher and more
responsible position by the American
Fruitgrowers Syndicate. During his
management of the Peshastin Associ-
alton Mr.. Warman has built up an
enviable reputation. He has studied
and knows every end of the fruit bus
mess and will make a success of that
which he takes up.
