Mr.. Riley of Everett.
The writer has talked with hund-
reds Of railway employees or their fam
lies and has yet to find one person
who has not spoken with regret of
leaving Leavenworth or Of the NOV
ing Of the terminal. This surely
speaks well for our little city so bea-
utifully located in the Cascades. We
understand conditions at Wenatchee
are badly congested at present Many
are coming to Leavenworth for rooms.
The majority of the employees who
have families plan on leaving them
in Leavenworth for the winter
months. Regret on the part Of citi-
zens remaining in Leavenworth seems
just as keen as those who are going.

COMMITTEE
BEFORE THE
COUNTY BOARD

On Tuesday R. F. Taylor, E. R. Nc
Claim and H. S. Rearick, appointed to
represent the Commercial Club before
the county board and urge that tax
levies be kept as low as possible this
year, went before the board in the full
fillment Of their instructions.
While the committee was waiting
the board heard committee from the
Chelan County Taxpayers association
which was present to inquire into road
expenditures and council with the
board. Mr.. Case of Wenatchee was
chairman of this committee. 1t was
brought out that the board expected
to levy the following sums in the diff
ferent districts:
1st or Wenatchee district. S45. 900
End or Leavenworth- Cashmere
oIstrlct ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 10000
3rd or Chelan-Entiat dist. $4,000
Besides this a levy of 311 mills was
to be made for county road and bridge
fund. Two of the different items
were, Dry Gulch, just outside Wen
atchee to the south, $500; Leaven-
worth bridge (repairs) $4,000
1t was further learned that, accord
ing to Mr. Long, commissioner from
this district, that the building of con-
crete roads-it was hoped-would not
be entirely suspended.
When the opportunity offered the
Leavenworth committee stated its
mission and also inquired into mat
ters, being told that the board con-
templated levying mills, possibly
more, for court house purposes-and
then some Salvation Army woman
just outside the window sang "What
Privilege to Garry Everything to
God in Prayer"
We have not lost faith in the Divin-
ity, but we do not believe that He can
help this upper district much before
the present county board. 1t seems
that the board has in mind raising
not less than 100000 for court house
purposes this coming year, on this
years asst ssment, and that nu,hing
we can do or have done will De of any
avail. This will mean a levy for that
purpose alone of about 4 y mills.

tonight through telegram from h.
M Jewell, head of the shop crafts,
to the Association of Railway Execu-
tives.
The committee left but one loop
hole TO avoid the strike. If the rail
heads arrange an immediate confer
ence. agreeing meanwhile to con-
tinue present wages, restore work
ing rules modified by the railroad
labor board, and discontinue farm

tual strike vote beyond saying it was
an overwhelming majority"
Little expectation was expressed in
railroad circles tonight that the ex-
ecutives would agree to such sweep

BONUS CLAIMS
YET BEING PAID
CHECKS SENT OUT AT RATE 100
EACH DAY--4,OOO CLAIMS
PENDING.

Yankton, June 28-South Da-
kota's bonus board at Pierre will be
down to 10 members by July /, a
year after its organization, which is
IL members less than the total per-
sonnel employed when the job was
at its peak, according to Fred b.
Ray, executive officer who has just
Pierre.
The work is now in its final, and
incidentally it's hardest stages, Col.
Ray said, but the board is making
very satisfactory progress with the
remaining claims. Just how long
before the work can be finally and
completely cleaned up and the office
closed is a matter of conjecture, but
the law gives another year to dispose
of it.
Approximately $4,000 claims have
been paid up to the present time,
Col Ray said The board is now
working on something over 1000.
and it is paying claims at the rate of
about 100 each day. OF those on
hand. many are tied up by cores
pondence unanswered. or are delayed
by slow replies from the claimants.
There is no way to speed this up un-
less the men do it themselves, and
prompt dispositions of their claims
depends on how quickly they furnish
any desired Information.
There is one pile of claims which
is slated for rejection. having on
their face no right to the bonus
money under the law. But there is
larger pile which is still in doubt,
which requires investigation, and
which investigation now is in prog
ress.
Rejection of these, If persistent
correspondence fails to secure the
desired Information. is expected to
"smoke out" any facts that the board
might need to clarity them.
Then if a man cannot establish the
justice of his claim the rejection will
stand.
