COMMERCIAL CLUB LUNCHEON.

About thirty were out to the Com
mercial club luncheon Thursday and
a good meeting was held
A report on the progress of the
Cascade Sanitarium was made and
the report was corrected which haG
gained some credence that the hospi-
tai was to be a private affair. Dr..
Lesslng has privately took it upon
himself to guarantee the return of
money advanced by any stockholder
within certain time, but this in no
way changes the fact that the insli-
tuition will be a community affair.
1t was voted to close the camp
ground for the season.
Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Rogers were up
from Peshastin as guests. Mr.. Rng-
ers spoke on what the upper valley
should do, work unitedly as 1t is given
but slight consideration by Wenat-
chez. and asked that the Wenatehca
Fruit d Warehouse Co. of Pc eshastin.
Of which he is the manager, be admit
ted as member of our Commercial
club and membership was voted ac-
cordingly.
The luncheon was up to its usual
point of excellence and was greatly
enjoyed by all Those serving weIe

"The fact that thousands of /. W

states coupled with recent radical dis
orders in several western Washing

DENIS GAIN
IN ELECTION
TUESDAY

PoindeXter seems to have been de-
[eated by Dill in the race for the
United States senate in Tuesdays
election, the latest figures obtained
by the Echo indicating that Dill has
a lead of about 5000.
The race between Congressman
Webster and Judge Hill is a close
one, Webster, republican, leading by
about us. All the other republican
congressional candidates, four in
number, of this state are returned.
In Chelan county all republicans
are elected to the principal offices
with the exception Of county auditor
Godfrey, democrat, having won
over Capt. Usher, republican: and
with the further exception of state
representative. Representative Gil
lette, republican, was reported as
having lost to Mrs. Frank Reeves
The vote is close, however, and final
official returns may give Gillette a
lead.
Nationally the democrats have
made gains. New York swung back
to the democrats; Lodge of Massa-
chusetts seems to have been returned
to the senate by very slim lead; Ed
wards goes to the senate from New
Jersey; Gerry from Rhode Island;
Ralston from Indiana; Ferris from
Michigan; and others, Reed of Mis-
souri, being reelected by $4,000 In
the House the democrats have made
gains and control was still in doubt.
Nolstead of Minnesota is said to have
been defeated.
Latest returns from North Dakota
indicate that O'Connor has defeated
Lynn ]. Frazier, partisan, for
the I. 5. senate and that Gov. Mes
tos. |. Y. A, has defeated Lempke,
non-partisan.
Among the victorious republicans
are Johnson of California, LaFollette
of Wisconsin and Brookhart of Iowa.
The latter had hard fight, being op-
posed by many prominent republi-
cans. Iowa went solidly republican.
Returns have been slow in coming
in and here at Leavenworth we have
been handicapped by the wreck near
Reiter which DELAYED the mails and
put the wires out of commission all
day Wednesday.

Friday evening he was returning in
an auto from the Schons ranch up
Eagle creek and as he was crossing
enc of the small bridges at the Chun7-
stick orchard he met another auto
and evidently was blinded by its
lights, for he drove to the side of the
bridge, along the edge of which logs
had been placed, his wheels scraping
the log and when the front whee!
came to the splice of logs it caught
and was overturned into the creek be-
low. Mr.. McPhee was caught undet
the overturned car and his neck

WHAT Is NOV. II.

Five years ago when our great na-
ton was up in arms, when many of
our dear ones were dying daily on
the battle front in France, how we
wished for peace! Peace of course
with Victory!
Then on Nov. II came the signing
Of the Armistice. Oh Boy! Do you
remember what a day it was, We
all went nearly mad with JOY.
It meant that our brothers. sons
and friends were done with the muck
and the rain, done with the machine
gun fire and the bursting shells. Il
meant the world was free from the
Iron Heel, and that our own Yankee
boys had turned the tide of war and
brought peace with victory.
We were mad with joy, bat have
you ever stopped to think what it
meant to the lads in the camps and
the trenches? It meant just one
thing-"Home."
As we raced about four years ago
next Saturday we swore We would
never forget these selfsame boys who
paid the price and won the war; and
when they came back We would do
our best TO show what we thought of
them.
The boys came back-that IS, not
all came back-but the ones who did
well we did our best TO show them
our gratitude.
But time is a funny fellow. Four
years age and now are different.
The war Is Won; the boys are

forget, FOUR YEARS AGO on

TORY WAS WON FOR YOU AND l
AND ALL OF Us THAT THE
WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.
And this also is the selfsame
Home the doughboys saw four
years ago; and the best you and |,

Day. and take our noses from the

RAIL MEN PLAN
TO AID STRIKERS
National Railway Union Officials
Confer at Chicago to Dis
cusS Situation.
6,2OO MINES ARE CLOSED
West Virginia Operators Reported to
Be Preparing to Reopen Former
Union Mines on Open
Shop Basis.

Chicago, April National Railway
union officials met here to confer on
what aid the crafts would give the
100000 STICKING miners. Meeting in
the Great Northern hotel, groups one,
two and three took up the strike under
the resolution recently passed by the
railroad union officials which prom
Used moral support to the miners.
While no formal action is expected,
1t is believed that it viii result in a
call for further conference on the
possibilities of aiding the miners in
their fight. When the resolution was
passed, both mine and rail lnion Off
cials admitted that loophole was left
whereby they could put teeth" in the
resolution if necessary.
The resolution, which took the form
of mutual agreement between rail
and coal officials, was passed on the
plea of John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers Of America.
Declare $500 Mines Closed.
While the railway men were in SEES
sion, coal union officials gave out fig
ures declaring that of the 100000
miners on strike 100000 were non
union men. They also declared that
600 mines were closed, only 1900
open-shop shafts in the country con-
tinuing to operate.
While not disputing these figures,
operators declared many of these men
would return to work. West Virginia
operators also were reported to be pre-
pairing to reopen former union mines
on an opens-hop basis.
In the main, however, both sides
were expected to observe tacit truce,
no effort being made for the time be-
ing to operate the mines, and the
miners supplying the engineers and
bumpers necessary to protect the pits
from danger of flooding.
