HOUSE
MOVES DOWN
HILL

The summer home of the George
Hauber family, built few weeks ago,
moved down hill about $50 feet last
Saturday morning and lodged over a
small irrigation ditch
The Hauber family was asleep when
at o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Hauber
were awakened. They felt the house
move and awakened the children and
all got outside in their night clothes.
The house moved short distance and
then stopped and they were able to
get out some clothing. Then again
the house moved down the hillside un-
til about half of it had passed over an
irrigation ditch where it rested.
The cause Of this peculiar action of
the house is explained thus: Above
the house at some distance is a cult
waited area which has been watered
all season. The area was evidently
drained by a small underground out
let which came down and broached
the surface just above the place
where the house was erected. This
drain had evidently not carried off the
water as fast as il was put on the
land and a considerable ''head" finally
accumulated sufficient force to break
through where the small stream had
weakened the ground, and when it
broke through the water and mud to-
gether carried the house away.
1t was very fortunate that the Hau-
bers were awakened in time to get
out. for evidently but a very little
more weight would have carried the
building over the irrigation ditch and
then it would have tumbled down
very steep decline a distance of per
haps two hundred feet, and all must
have been killed.
1t is understood that Mr.. Hauber
will move the house back to its for
mer location, but he will surely pro-
vide drain to guard against further
danger from the same source.

CASHMERE
MAN SEEKS co.
CLERKSHIP
G. l.. Swartz Out After Nomination
on Republican Ticket.

Cashmere Record: News of un-
usual interest is the formal announce
ment this week Of G. L. Swartz Of
Cashmere for the office of county
clerk to succeed A. A. Stevens whose
term of office expires this year. MI
Swartz will ask the Republicans of
the countyto give him the party nomi-
nation at the primary election on Sep
tember r.
In Cashmere we all call him Dad
dy' and no man in the community is
more highly esteemed. His long life
of faithful and energetic public SER
vice and his ripe experience and we'll
known capabilities peculiarly fit him
for the office to which he aspires. He
has wide acquaintance and every
where news of his candidacy is being
we'll received.
For half century he has been in
the newspaper and printing game,
working in his native state of Penn
sylvania from 1878 until he moved in
1889 to Poynette, Wisconsin, where he
purchased the Poynette Press and op-
Grated it continuously until 1911 In
that year he had a notion he would re-
tire and he came to Cashmere to grow
big red apples. The smell of print
er's ink proved irrestible and in a few
months he was in the Record office.
By way of clerical experience he
served eight years as city clerk in
Poynette and for the past seven years
he has gone out deputy assessor for
Chelan county in the Cashmere and
Leavenworth districts.
Mr.. Swartz has whole community
of good friends who wish him every
measure of success in his aspirations
and who will undoubtedly bend taeiI
friendship and influence is his behalf.

CIVIC CLUB IMPROVING
TOURIST CAMPSITE

The Women's Civic club has had
showers put in the toilets at the tour
ist campsite and yesterday were busy
painting the structures, placing stones
along drives and otherwise improv-
ing the grounds.
They plan also to have the grounds
fitted so that they may be sprinkled
and will SOW white clover and plant
some trees. Mrs. r. B. Field and
Mrs H. A Franklin were in charge
and were assisted by members OF the
Girls Civic club and several of the
Boy Scouts.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to what the privileges of
a tourist campsite are, therefore il
should be made clear that these
grounds are not intended as place Of
permanent residence for people who
desire to camp through the summer
but for those travelling about ana who
desire to stay a few dav- " a week
in the community.

FRUIT BOXES
ARE IN GREAT
DEMAND

There is liable to be a shortage of
fruit boxes here unless they are or
dered at once.
Some Of the saw mills and box fac
tories have had to close down on ac-
count Of fire hazards and this has
caused uneasiness among the fruit as
sociations and dealers up and down
the coast, who are now making fran
tic efforts to close contracts wherever
boxes can be had, and in one day
Cast Friday the Great Northern
Lumber Co. had calls for a total of
$4,000 boxes, and could have taken
spot orders had they been assured
that their doing so would not leave
this territory with a shortage.
The company can not hold off long
either. If their output is not CON
tracted locally at once outside orders
will be taken and filled.
The Great Northern is making
splendid box, up to the new specifica-
tions in every way, made of fine air

ICICLE SYS-
TEN TO BE
IMPROVED

Work is getting under way for a
big improvement Of the lcicle i11igat-
ing system, which includes about
5000 feet of tunnel near the Turner
place formerly the Ingham home
stead) and some three thousand feet
of new fume.
A bridge is to be built over the
Icicle, which we understand will be
opposite the Fisher place, to enable
the contractor, OrlOf Olson Of Seattle,
to move in machinery and supplies for
boring the tunnel. A new swinging
bridge has been put in place up at
the end of the road constructed to
take in material when the Leaven-
worth water main was relaid, and a
cable and a steam engine installed so
that fume material may be swung
across.
A long stretch Of the hume from
the intake was rebuilt the past year
and with the new work, which is to be
completed by next May, the ditch will
be a good one down as far as Leav-
enworth or to the place where the
syphon crosses the Wenatchee below
town.
The tunnel will cost $3.50 per foot,
We are informed.

SHERIFF
RAIDS DANCE
RESORT

World: Two boys. Carl Brown and
Archie E. Staley are in the county
Jail; two boys have been requested by
Sheriff Bert McManus to report to
him for an explanation Of their CON
duct, and the new dance pavilion one
mile north Of Monitor raided by sher-
ifs orders during the progress Of the
opening dance is closed after one
nights operations, as a result of scan
dalous and unseemingly conduct and
drunkenness alleged by officers to
have been found there.
The pavilion was opened Friday
evening. The Californians, a COM
pany Of negroes, who have been play
ing for the past several weeks in a
local dance hall. were furnishing the
music for the dance Sheriff McManus
stated he would make an effort to
keep the hall closed.
Brown and Staley, captured by Of
ficers in the act of unloading a guam
tity Of moonshine liquor outside the
Monitor dance pavilion, have been in
the laws tolls before, Sheriff McMan-
US says, having been arrested some
time ago for operating stills. A
charge of peddling liquor will prob
ably be lodged against them.
There were about IS couples on
the floor when we arrived on the
scene" said Sheriff McManus. cat
least four times as many persons
were outside the hall at the time,
some seated in cars, a large number
of which were parked in the vicinity
of the pavilion. ! should guess that
there We're forty outside the hall
more or less under the influence Of
liquor.
"The most deplorable aspect of the
affair was the fact that there We're a
number of young girls there, ranging
in age from Is to 1S years. A situa-
ton Of this sort should be a warning
to mothers not to allow their young
daughters where moonshine is likely
to be sold"
Brown was handcuffed by officers
in the very act of lifting from the car
a jug of moonshine. Staley was ap-
pretended Immediately after, and 5
gallons of moonshine, and a quantity
of smaller receptacles also filed with
liquor, were seized by the officers.
The raid followed a visit to tie
dance early Friday evening by Dep
uties Wine and Pollock. Deputy
Wine returned to Wenatchee with a
report that conditions at the dance
warranted a raid. Sheriff McManus
and Deputy Mcpherson, besides Dep
uties Wine and Pollock participated in
the raid.
