MEMBER OF PRINCESS PATS
BATTALION HERE.

Charles James Francis, one of the
four surviving members of the fam
Gus Princess Pats Battalion, was in
Leavenworth last Saturday. He said
that he had started from his home in
Calgary to attend the meeting of the
American Legion at Kansas City and
when he reached Spokane, had been
held up and robbed of $3.50 while on
his way to the Canadian counselate
He had managed to get to drive a car
from Spokane to Wenatchee and then
came on here in another car. Here
he was staked by Mr.. Ferguson Of
Wenatchee; so that he was able to %
on and expected to get aid at Everett
from British bureau and go on
home. 1t will be remembered that the
Princess Pats Battalion was all but
destroyed at Ypres, Belgium, in April,
1915. Francis said that ten men came
out of the engagement alive and thai
all but four of those ten died since
that time. He appeared to have been
seriously crippled.

ARMISTICE CELEBRATION
IN LEANENWORTH TO-DAY.

Arrangements have been made to
hold a big celebration today, the third
anniversary Of the armistce which
ended fighting in the Great War.
1t is day which ought really to be
a day Of Thanksgiving and indeed Ii
will be so regarded.especially by those
who had near and dear ones in the
great war zones three years ago.
The day is a national holiday this
year and it assuredly will become one
Of our permanent national holidsy .
A meeting was held Wednesday
evening at the Community Building
and plans perfected for the day All
arrangements will be completed by
II o'clock and at minutes to 12 the
program will begin with bugle call
flag service, prayer. mess; then will
follow the parade and speeches
Tents will be erected at the park and
all exercises and sports, it SEEM,
will be held on Front Street except
ing as occasion arises to pull some
thing in other parts of town
The town has been turned over to
the officer of the day by the mayor
and officials of the city will take or
ders from him. Anyone apprehended
and charged as A. w. O. l.. will get
the severest treatment that can De
meted out under the powers and priv
ileges of the Kangaroo Court.

OUR FOOTBALL PLAYERS
LOSE TWO TO CASHMERE.

The hoodoO man got our football
players for two games last week-the
high school team for the first on Fri
day. when Cashmere defeated them,
IS to 0, on our home grounds, and the
second when the Cashmere grade team
stung our team by 81 to 12.
Both the Cashmere teams seem to
be very much heavier than our teams.
The Cashmere team is said to have
had one player from Ballard and one
one from Everett to strengthen up
their line, which has caused some
complaint by Leavenworth fans.
However, it matters not whore play
ers come from, if they are regular
students of the school with which
they play, provided they have been in
such school two weeks; and we sup
pose that our coach saw to it that
none but qualified players We're in the
game.

". PHARMACY AND
TOGGfRY BURGLARIzfD
WEDNESDAY MORNING
GLASS IN FRONT DOORS OF
BOTH STORES BROKEN-BUT
LITTLE MISSING AT EITHER
PLACE.

About three or four o'clock Wednes.
day morning burglars entered both
The Toggery and the Leavenworth
Pharmacy, by breaking the plate
glass in the front doors. The entry
was made at between three and four,
we understand, as it is said one OF
the car repairers working in the yarl
across from the stores heard gla $
broken and informed Chief Brown
who was at the depot to meet trains.
When Chief Brown got down town a
few minutes later he found no one
there, but both stores had been en-
tered and at the Toggery they had
tried to get into the cash register but
nothing was missing. At the Phar-
macy an attempt had been made to
drill into the cash register and a scis-
sors was broken in this attempt.
Drawers and shelves had been ran
sacked and some hair brushes, face
powder, hot water bottles, and alarm
clock and Gillette safety razor were
stolen, indicating that the burglars
must be some dudes and possibly late
Sleepers and occasionally troubled
with cold feet.
No clue as to whom the culprit OF
culprits are has been discovered.

HOLDUP ARTISTS
SLIPPED BY OFFICIALS
FRIDAY MORNING
JOHN SAVAGE, G. n. RAILWAY
WATCHMAN, SAID TO HAVE
BEEN REAL ANGRY AT GET
AWAY,

Dude Brown, city police official.
says that John Savage was real
"mad" last Saturday morning, and
this is the cause:
A bunch of "holdups" had gone
through lot of fellows returning
to their homes on the Sound, from
this valley, on freight train Friday
evening and two of them had gottea
onto a freight coming this way and
had been recognized by the train
crew and locked in a box car, in which
they were making the trip this way.
When the train reached here, as we
are told the story, Officer Savage was
called and the "holdups" were order
ed to come forth. They crawled out
of the car which was loaded with
lumber, leaving scarcely room enough
for thin fellows to get into it. Saw
age searched them and found moth
ing, no money and no guns or other
paraphernalia usually employed or
carried by burglars and men of kim
dred occupations; so they were let go.
The train crew, however, was not sat
isfied and Conductor Bridenbeck final
ly searched the car and found gun,
a flashlight and some old clothes and
Officer Savage and others immediate
ly set out to pick up the men whom
they had let go, but they had lost no
time in getting away and although
the whole town and vicinity was
searched they were not found
The robbers, finding themselves
locked in, evidently concluded that
they were suspected and divesteI
themselves of all evidence of their
profession" before arriving here and
facing a lineup of inquiring officials
and hereafter anyone pulled from
boxcar under like circumstances in
the presence of Officer Savage had
better "come clean" or say his pray
ers.

given a trial and if any better tim

as packed boxes, than ever before. OF
course there are plenty that get
bruised, but there is such vast diff
ference in the picking this years crop
from other years crops, that it make :
a person feel good to think someone
must really care a little bit what
kind of work they do for their pay,
and have taken real interest in the
apple ranchers' welfare All fruit in
this district seems to be under some
kind of protection from the weather
as the orchards appear bare of fruit
stacked up.
Disking is now being done in some
orchards where cover crops are
heavy to prevent fire and mice from
destroying the trees. There is not so
much danger from fire at this season
Tut there is from mice as they live
under heavy matted-down cover crops
and eat the bark of the trees during
the winter months, when the snow is
on the ground. Grass and leaves
should be pulled back from the tree
trunks perhaps two feet all the way
around so that they would not be so
apt to gnaw the bark from the tree
trunk
Mice seem to live in large droves.
some years they will live in one place
and do a lot Of damage to five or ten
acres, and never seem TO bother tn
surrounding orchards at all, and per-
haps the following season it will be in
IN entirely different location; but it Is
always, if at all, on a piece of mattel
down heavy cover crop. usually alfal-
ia, whore they seem to nest. It's a
kind of lottery who is going to get
them next, but you better take some
precautions or it may be just you.
For mildew, spray in the pink Of
the flower, just before the petals
open. Use only to 30 lime-sulphu1
solution. This is the most import
ant mildew spray. but other latei
sprays can be used.

TO BUILD PACKING HOUSE.

The members of the Cooperative
association are preparing to build a
packing house at Leavenworth next
year to facilitate the handling of
their fruit,
An assessment of sc per box on tho
crop grown this season has been made
and with this fund to start with they
ought to be in financial condition to
erect and equip good building. 1t
is probable that the building will be
erected alongside the railroad station
at the eastern edge of town.
