The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-12-12

The extreme cold weather of the
past week or ten days has resulted in
much trouble for the electric plant,
the ice stopping the flow of water to
the turbines and consequently a lack
of power. Saturday evening the G. N.
Lumber Co had to be resorted to for
electric current and Wednesday for
water for the city. 1t seems to us
that we are extremely fortunate in
having so competent source to fall
back upon. Undoubtedly the electric
company will in the near future rem
edy the cause of the trouble, and the
city viii no doubt have to do likewise
in respect to the water supply. These
are matters of great importance and
the additional expense might as well
be incurred now as a few years hence.

MOTOR CORPS WILL
ASSIST DR.. COPELAND
Col. Helen Bastedo Offers
Services for Emergency.

DR.. Royal g. Copeland, Health Com
missioner, announced yesterday that
Col. Helen Bastedo, commander of the
Motor Corps of America, has placed
at the disposal of the Health Depart
ment the entire transport service of her
organization
When the Motor Corps, which during
the war proved a valuable adjunct to
the fighting branches OF the services,
was disbanded several months ago, its
commander stated that many of its
members and practically all of IT'S IA
cilities would be held In readiness at all
times to respond to emergencies.
One such emergency came to II last
fall during the epidemic of Spanish in
fiuenza. while II was still busted with
war work. DIR. Copeland says that the
services rendered by the Motor Corps
through its aid in conveying doctors,
nurses, invalids, food and supplies dur
ing the period when the epidemic was
at itt height, were a great help in the
fight on the disease.
The transport service OF the organi-
ration, consisting of wagons, individual
cars and ambulances, will again be
utilized in a similar way in the event
of another epidemic this year, said DR..
Copeland.
The facilities that have been made
Immediately available. he said, will be
used for the conveyance of invalid chill
dren to school, and for Transporting
some of the drug patients to the mar
cotic hospital at Riverside on North
Brothers Island.

THREE MEN SEIZED
AND PLENTY OF RUM
Customs Officials Make Haul
at East Side Pier.

Three men met in South street, oppo-
site the Ward Line pier. Tuesday night
and began exchanging something in
bottles. Customs Inspectors Lynch and
Baron walked toward the men, who ran
to the Ward Line pier One threw away
bottle and another broke another on
the cobblestones The aroma Of rum
arose. The inspectors captured the men
and found on one OF them two bottles
and on another three bottles OF rum.
The men were arrested.
II Is suspected that the rum may have
come from Spanish steamship at Pier
s, East River, alongside OF which, in
coal barges. the customs men found
fifty bottles of rum and forty-ons
cans of milk. The customs men believe
that the rum was lowered from the
Spanish liner to men I'm the barges, but
the officials cannot explain the milk ex-
cept on the theory that somebody in
tended to have a joyous time with rum
and milk punches.
Another theory was that the rum
smuggiers intended to empty the milk
cans and MI them with rum. SO as TO
be able TO run the gauntlet of customs
