ALBANIA WANTS
 ONLY LIBERTY

Tirana. Albania; May 5. (By Mail.) Albania desires nothing from the
 Peace Conference except its liberty. It wants neither mandates nor pro-
 tectorates but simply self-government.
 The simple mountaineers trust the soldiers of no nation and the pres- ence of foreign uniforms in their mountain fastnesses serves only to goad them into revolt against the in- vader.
 The only uniform which is well comed is the American. A1banians associate the American uniform, whether 1t be that of army off, cer of the Hoover Food Mission or the American Red Cross, with charity and the helping hand. They put the broadest interpretation unon the entry of the American Red Cross into their country and see in it a sign that America will back them up in their
 claims for independence.
 The harvest of 1918 fortunately was very abundant in Albania and thus the country escaped a serious shortage of food. However, the need of medical help and clothing is uni versa1. The mountain people have practically no doctors and no medi- cines. When they are taken sick they lie down on the dirt floors of their houses and are covered by blankets i by their friends, there either to re- cover or to die. Tuberculosis and malaria are the commonest diSeaS aSeS. There is much malnutrition from i'm 1 proper feeding, especially among the children.
 Although they have no trust in their l own physicians the natives will swa1- ] low without hesitation any kind of a l pill or draught from an American ! Red Cross doctor nurse. American l doctors and nurses are welcomed into 1 Mohammedan homes where other Christians would not be admitted. Mohammedan women submit to op- erations by American doctors where before they lay down and died rather than have a foreigner touch them. Alba mountaineers carry their i dreds of miles over the mountains to l the nearest American Red Cross sta- i tion In short, Albanians have implicit confidence in Americans
 i The Red Cross has opened dispen- saries at Tirana, Scutari, Elbasan. l Kroia and Berat. In addition mobile ] dispensary units travel throughout the country, nurses and doctors carryin g | their supplies, food and bedding on | paths. Albanian doctors and young |, women are being trained in American n methods and when the Red Cross l leaves Albania American supplies will be left behind for their use.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
OSBORN RETIRES

On account of impaired health Mr..
]. H. Osborn, who has been connected
with the Leavenworth public schools
for the past seven years, and superin-
tendent the past five years, finally
decided he would give up the super
intendency this year, tho early in the
season he had told the school board
he would serve this year. His health
has not been good, which he thinks is
largely due to the sedentary occupa-
ton he has followed, and means to
spend the summer and fall on his ap-
pie ranch east of town in the hope
that he may gain some flesh and also
something else, which for want Of a
more expressive word he calls pep"
Mr.. Osborn has proved to be most
satisfactory and acceptable superin-
tendent, both to the board and to the
school patrons. Our public school has
never been more satisfactory and
made more progress than under Mr..
Osborn's incumbency. The board will
be fortunate if it succeeds in locating
a worthy successor.

THE FRUIT SITUATION
New Conditions This year are WOr-
rying J0bbers7-Apples Sell Or
chard Run Basis

Western avenue jobbers are view
ing with some concern the continued
high bidding for soft fruits in the
producing sections of Eastern Wash
ington. Within another week or ten
days apricots will start to move and
there is as yet no indication of any
cash buying on this side of the noun
tains, except from canning circles.
Apricot contracts have been made
by eastern buyers, however, on the
basis of $1.25 and $1.55 per ton, or
$1.50 to $1.85 per crate. This repre-
sents actual cost to iobber before the
fruit is started on its way to Seattle.
Freight and profit must be added be-
fore it gets to the retailer, all of which
local jobbers say would effectually
bar any heavy movement and make a
volume of business impossible. Peach
prices are beginning slowly to take
shape, but these, also, are out of
alignment with what local operators
believe workable. Inasmuch as east
erm buyers and Gamers shaped the
strawberry market on an abnormally
high predicate, Western avenue job
bers will be expected to fall into line
on the soft fruits or go without.

OFFERS BIG PRICE FOR PEARS
Coast Cannery Man Would Pay $55
!. Ton---Wants Gull Apples

b = Z
w. H. Paulhamus, cannery man
from Puyallup, has offered to con-
tract with Yakima growers for rs
car loads Of pears at $55 a ton which
is $40 more than the price paid by
the Yakima cannery to growers who
had contracted fruit with it. In case
Paulhamus is able to obtain as many
pears as he desires it means the pay
ment of over $4,000 to Yakima valley
growers. This is the highest price
ever reported at the opening of the
season.
Paulhamus. also asked for an un-
limited quantity of Gull apples at $40
ton, which is So ton higher than
the price paid year ago, while two
years ago buyers could have gotten
any quantity of Gull apples for So to
$4 ton. Paulhamus said:
"There is no reason why any can
merry, no matter what the contract
figure, should not pay at least $50
ton for pears. 1t will sell the pro-
duct on basis of at least that mar
ket price and should allow the grower
to get his fair share"
Last year, after buying 10 carloads
Of Yakima cherries at price higher
than the general market here, he
later sent the growers an additional
bonus of cent pound.

CHARGE OF ABDUCTION FILED

A man by the name of Emmons
created bit of commotion in the west
end of town Wednesday afternoon
when he took possession of a child
under two years old, which with its
mother was living at the Waldenburg
home. Emmons was finally located
and arrested and the child recovered.
It appears that Mr.. and Mrs. Emmons,
the latter daughter of Mrs. Walden
burg, separated in Seattle recently,
and with the child she came here and
made her home with her mother. OF
course the charge of abduction would
not lie, as both father and mother
have the legal right to its possession.
Divorce proceedings were instituted
Immediately by the mother, and as is
the custom, when there is small
child, it will doubtless be awarded to
the mother, after which it win become
abduction if the father takes posses
sion.

PESHASTIN LUMBER CO.
WILL HAVE BIG YEAR
Blewett Mill is Running Full Blast
and Paying Out $4,000 Every
Month

Another industry that adds mater
tally to the prosperity of Leaven-
worth, altho not in this immediate
vicinity, is the Peshastin Lumber Co.,
whose manufacturing plant is located
al Blewett, approximately seven miles
from this city.
Practically the entire output of this
concern is turned into fruit boxes, the
daily output being better than 10000
boxes a day. The lumber cut ap-
proximates $4,000 feet daily.
At the present time about one hun
died men are employed in and about
the plant, and the monthly payroll is
better than $4,000. A visit to the
plant reveals much activity. Every
department is running full blast and
the management is straining every
nerve to make this the biggest year
ever.
Logging operations are in charge
of j. T. Mcdonald, a man with long
experience in the getting out of tim
Der, and the mill is never without a
goodly supply of logs.
A contract was entered into early
this spring between the mill owners
and Coleman & Swanson whereby the
latter are handling the cutting of
lumber and boxes, and we are told
that the lumber cut this season will
exceed all past years.
J. C. Biles, president and general
manager of the Peshastin Lumber Co.,
devotes most of his time to the sales
end of the business. His wide ac-
quaintance and long residence in the
valley, together with the fact that his
company enjoys the confidence of the
growers, causes him little trouble in
disposing of his product.
Leavenworth is the home of the
greater part of the employees of the
Peshastin Lumber Co., also their trad
ing point. All in all this company
contributes much towards the pros
perity of Leavenworth. IL

FORESTRY FLOAT MAKES HIT
IN WENATCHEE PARADE

One of the floats that attracted
much attention in the parade in We
natchee on the Fourth was that got
ten up by the forestry department.
The float represented forest ranger
lookout station and camp, among the
pines, equipped with fire detection
apparatus and Ranger John Brender
in charge with pair of field glasses
looking for incipient forest fires. 1t
not only attracted attention because
it was unique but because it fur
nished an object lesson, showing what
the government is doing to protect
the national forest, and doubtless
made some converts for the cause of
fire prevention.

dom show deficiency of $2,7S1 $50 in
respect of telegraphs and surplus of
$1,777,340 in respect of telephones for

The accounts for 1888 are much
less favorable, however, owing to the

REAL THRIFT NECES-
SARY TO SAVE NATION
FROM DISASTER

Thrift, real thrift thrift by the
whole of the American people is nee
essary to save the nation from the
disaster which turks in tremendous
increase in living costs. President
Wilson in laying down the economic
policy which the government is pursu-
ing in its efforts to bring down prices
has made it clear that rigid economy
and saying is the real remedy for a
situation which he declares Is likely
70 be more serious in is effects than
, the war tself.
We are face to face with situa-
ton which is more likely to effect the
happiness and prosperity and even
the life of. our people than the war
itself" said the President in a proc
lamation to the nation on the cost of
living problem, "We have now got to
90 nothing less than to bring our in

back to a normal basis after the
greatest upheaval known to history
and the winter just ahead of us NAV
bring suffering infinitely greater than
the war brought if we blunder or fail
in the process. An admirable spirit
OF self-sacrifice' of patriotic devotion
and of community action guided and
inspired us when the fighting was on.
We shall need all these now, and need
the min a heightened dgree, fw are
to accomplish the first tasks of peace
Tehy are more difficult than the tasks
OF war-more complex, less easily un-
derstood and require more intelli-
gence' patience and sobriety. We
modified our man-power for the
fighting; let us now mobilize our
brain power and our consciences for
the reconstruction. If we fail Il will
mean naationl disaster. The pri-
mary first step is to increase pro-
duction and facilitate Transportation
so as to make up for the destruction
wrought by the war, the terrible scar
cities it created and so as soon as
possible relieve our people of the
cruel burden of prices"
The remedy for the conditions
which the President outlined he pre-
scribed as follows:
only by keeping the cost Of nro-
ouction on its present level by in !
creasing production and by rigid econ
cmy and saving on the part of the
whole people can we hope for large
decreases in the burdensome cost Of
living which now weighs us down"
The tools which will entrench thrift
in American life are to be found in
the determination to save first and
