There is a fine orchard on the place
with possibilities of increasing the
acreage.
Corp. R. S. Jeffrey, brother of Mrs.
Will Brender, sends us a copy of
'Tenshun, I'll" published at Denver,
Col, in the interest of U. S.A. Hos
pital 81 1t is full of army informa-
ton and news, and especially army
hospital news, sanitation and kindred
subjects.
The Blewett pass road will not be
open for travel until some time late
in October, according to reports re-
ceived here this week. The cnntrac-
tors have been unable to keep full
crew of men and for that reason the
work has not progressed as rapidly
as had been expected.
Mrs. John Burmeister returned from
Spokane last Saturday on her way to
Blewett. She was called to Spo-
kane three weeks ago on advice of the
serious illness of her daughter, Mrs.
Lloyd Robinette, who has so far re-
covere as to leave the hospital. Her
brother, VIM. Shoellerman has also
been in the Spokane hospital but is re-
covering after an operation for hernia.
1t is a proven fact that J. C. Penney
Co. sell better shoes for the price than
| other stores. sep26*
| Mr.. H. E. Carr, for many years a
resident of Leavenworth, now resid-
ing in Seattle, where he is in the
automobile and automobile accessories
| business, arrived here Tuesday morn
ing on a visit with relatives and
| friends and remained several days.
He does not look day older than
when he left here five years ago. He
says Seattle is very much alive city
and believes it has a great future.
Did you see the new Middies for
$1.98 at J. C. Penney Co? sep26*
The greatest trouble newcomers to
Leavenworth are having is in finding
aplace to live. Never before was there
such scarcity of houses. A few sales
of homes are being made by people
who are moving away and those de-
string to sell are having little trouble
in disposing of their property. There
is little building going on as the costs
are almost prohibitive. Carpenters
say that the house which cost $1,000
a few years ago will easily cost 5000
today.
Engineer w. A. Cline left here this
week by auto and will make the trip
to Seattle, where he expects in the fu-
ture to reside, by way of Vantage
ferry. With his family he has made
Leavenworth his home for the past
ten years and takes with him the good
will and the wish that he will prosper
in his new home, of every man, wo-
man and child who is so fortunate as
to know him. He is a desirable asset
in any community where good citizen
ship is priced. His family will join
him as soon as he secures a desirable
home.
While Leavenwolth is not yet ex-
periencing a boom the general feeling
is that we have some awfully good
times ahead of us. Wenatchee and
Cashmere were never more prosper
GUS than they are at this time, and the
apples which contribute largely to the
prosperity of the lower valley are
doing more for this vicinity each
year. With logging operations on a
big scale planned for this winter and
considerable mining activity along
with numerous other activities, this
town from all indications will hum
next year.
Clifford Gordon was arrested last
Monday night for taking J. F. Ahlin's
car from in front of his store. The
evidence showed when he was put on
trial Wednesday that he drove it
around the block few times and
then returned it very nearly where he
found it. The court thought as he
had been in jail several days he had
been punished enough. Under a
charge of theft, which it was doubtful
if it could be shown, there was moth
ing but penitentiary sentence, and
a jury would likely have acquitted him
so he was discharged and told to go
his way and sin no more.
Mr.. Basil Edmundton arrived here
this week from Cooperstown, North
Dakota, on a tour of the west with
a view of locating somewhere, and
because already Leavenworth claims
some Cooperstown people decided to
stop off here and visit friends and at
the same time have a look at the
well advertised Wenatchee valley.
He says the activities of the Non
Partisan League is responsible for
many of the prosperous citizens of
North Dakota seeking a new location.
