to overcome the insatiate curiosity of
the public is has become necessary for
the authorities in charge to hold the
Grand High School Carnival, Friday,
February %. Always striving to
please, plans have been rushed to
completion-no efforts have been
spared and the result will be mar
velous and stupendous affair.
A telegram came this morning stat
ing that Princess Chenina will be on
hand. Princess Chenina is the famed
Indian fortune teller from the tribe
of Okanogans.
New attractions are being added
daily to the world-renowned circus.
Trapeze performers, contortionists, ac-
robats and rough riders will all be
there in splendor, ready to entertain
the public with their hair raising
feats.
A marvellous snake, captured some
years ago in the wilds of Africa will
be one of the drawing attractions at
the animal show. This snake has SUI
pernatural knowledge and will obey
the slightest command. 1t is part
of large circus now in winter quar-
tiers at Seattle, but it's owner has
kindly consented to send his pet across
the mountains that all who desire may
marvel at it's tricks.
In order that no one should be de-
tanned at home for business reasons
we have installed a telegraph station
for the evening, which will receive and
send messages to any part of the
country. 1t will also accommodate
those who wish to confer with friends
in the congested crowd at the car.
nival.
A great effort is being made along
with the development of higher at
fractions, to obtain an exhibition of
real scientific value. The older resi-
dents of the community will perhaps
remember in its early settlement the
excitement caused by the discovery of
a petrified body unearthed by work.
men making excavations in one of the
upper canyons. At the time the body
was claimed by an old character of
the community who was under the i'm
preston that the specimen was per-
haps one of his early ancestors. 1t
is thought probable that this person
may be willing to exhibit the specimen
under his own special care. Only
such persons really interested from
scientific standpoint and with proper
reverence for the dead, will be per-
mitted to view the stony remains.
Among the attractive booths will be
the Dutch booth from which will be
served doughnuts made from the orig
inal recipe used by Salvation army
lassies in making the world renowned
doughnuts for the boys at the front.
Friday night the Leavenworth High
School Basket ball team will play the
second game for county championship.
So far our team has been undefeated
in High School games. Our oppo-
nents will be Wenatchee High school
which has been practicing under the
supervision of Prof. Lichtenberger, an
eastern coach who has just returned
from the service. The game is going
to be good one and one you can't af-
ford to miss. Come out and root for
Leavenworth for we are going to be
proud of our team. The boys will be
resplendent in new suits and are surely
going to make fine showing. Game
is scheduled for 1880.
The entire school has been so busy
planning for the stupendous carnival
that little else has been accomplished,
aside of course from the routine work
But in spite of this extra work the
manual training department has just
completed Is bedside tables to be used
in Red Cross hospitals at environments.
