BIG ATTENDANCE AT
Community MEETING
SATURDAY EVENING
IF LEAVENORTH DOES NOT
BENEFIT BY THE ADDRESSES
IT'S OUR FAULT.

There was good attendance at tn.
Community meeting last Saturday
evening in spite of the prevalence OF
| colds, la grippe and few cases of in
f'uenza in this section, and if Leaven-
worth does not benefit from this NEE. =
ing and the addresses it will show
that there is not much reaction left,
for there is certainly incentive
enough and to spare.
The chairman, prefacing the intro
duction of speakers, said that he had
been impressed with the saying that
"lf you can say no good Of persons
about you, say nothing" and this pre-
cept may be safely follow ed in re-
porting some aspects of tn. meeting,
though we might plagiarize it anf
say nothing except that which is good,
giving expressions to what we fee
impelled to say by stating emphatical-
ly that if the people of Leavenwortn
who were present do not cease petty
pickering and go out and do real yec-
men service for the community, as an
answer to s7me things that were
said, we shall be much disappointed
The Leavenworth Band opened the
program with an overture rendered in
its usual fine manner, and the chorus
under the leadership of Mrs. Bryan
followed with very pleasing num-
ber, there being some thirty voices. A
couple short songs were then sung by
the whole gathering.
The addresses then followed, Mr.
Chairman giving some very good
pointers on community matters and
others. Frank w. Schultz devoted
most Of his time to the Greater Wen
atchee Irrigation Project and brought
home to those listening that this is
very important matter for this sec
tion of the state.
Miss Merle Greene then sang The
Rosary, accompanied by Mrs. McEl-
roy, and was heartily encored.
Mr. ]. f. Ferguson gave very
forceful talk on Leavenworth, and Mr.
Smith from the Everett Chamber o.
Commerce spoke earnestly on the
Scenic or Stevens Pass road. T.
seems that the government has ap-
propriated 100000 of the 100000
necessary to construct that part Of
the road which will be in Ctelan coun-
ty and if this county appropriates
$4,000 the work can begin. King
and Snohomish counties, it appears,
have made provision for constructing
their part of this highway. Mr. A. H.
Sylvester also spoke, most of his re-
marks being on other matters as he
left the Stevens Pass matter for Mr..
Smith.
c. w. White of Peshasti1 gave
very nice talk, offering on behalf oe
Peshastin to take care o. Leaven
worth if we happened to be in such
dire circumstances as mig. be in
ferred from some things he heard
from earlier speakers; and it can
safely be said that this offer of solac
was deeply appreciated. Mr.. F. A.
Constable, secretary-treasu er of the
Leavenworth Commercial Club, spoke
for the city and made a decided hi;
with the crowd
The program was intersparsed wit.
singing by the chorus and wound up
with patriotic air by the tand.
All in all the meeting was a grea
success and the people of the city are
indeed obliged to the good gentleme
from Wenatchce and to tle Everett
gentleman for their part.
The Commercial Club is thankful t.
all who contributed to the success Of
this occasion and especially to Mrs.
Bryan and the chorus, and tc Mr.. Nc
Daniel and the band
