dead. For years she was the typical
American stage beauty, but she was
more than that. She was first rate
light opera singer, the helpful and be-
loved friend of many in and out of her
profession, a good newspaper writer
and a devoted and hard working
patriot in time of war. In recognition
of her services to the country during
the war she was buried with military
honors, and a detachment of marines
stood watch over her casket, since she
held the rating of gunnery sergeant in
the United States navy. One of the
the most gracious figures in American
life thus has passed away.

Il LEXANDER, king of Jugo- Slavia,
4 \ and Princess Marie of Rumania
were married Thursday in Belgrade
in the presence of representatives Of
nearly every nation in the world. The
affair was marked by all the sp;endor
and display of medieval times and the
ceremony in the ancient Byzantine ca
thedral was followed by a great pro-
cession of quantity clad Populations
from the provinces, with wonderful
floats and pageants. Ordinarily the
marriage of royal personages excites
only passing interest in these days,
but this one is of more Importance in
that by it are linked the dynasties Of
three Balkan countries. It serves to
strengthen the little entente, and pos
sibly to lessen the danger of future
wars in that long turbulent part Of the
old world.

Persistent reports come from places

4 7 LAST the senate has before it
( the soldiers bonus bill, as drafted
by the finance committee. Chairman
NIcCumber's accompanying report
placed the probable cost to the federal
government at S3,845, 659, 481, spread
over a period of 43 years from next
January 1. The estimate is based on
the theory that IS per cent of the
1851 veterans who would be eli
gible for compensation would elect the
adjusted service certificate option;
221b per cent farm, home and land
settlement aid. and 21a per cent voca-
tional training aid
With reference to financing the leg
islatfon, Senator McCumber's report
said it was hoped that the reduction
in governmental expenditures plus the
payment of interest on the refunded
foreign obligations would be sufficient
to obviate the imposition of additional
taxation.

DROGRESSIVES in the Republican
party scored another victory last
week in the nomination of Col Smith
w. Brookhart for United States sena-
tor from Iowa. Really this was a tri-
umph for the radicals, for Brookhart
is rated as more than progressive.
He is a former soldier and lawyer,
residing in Washington, Ia. 1t was
necessary for him to obtain 35 per
cent of the primary vote to obtain the
nomination independent of the state
convention. He got Al per cent. Chair
man Mccormick of the Republican
senatorial campaign committee says
the committee twill join the national
committee and the Republican state
committee in Iowa to assure the cleo
ton of Colonel Brookhart. Colonel
Brookhart bears the reputation of a
citizen of high purpose and high cour-
age and had a fine record of service
during the war;"

WHY NOT
A BREATHING
SP ELL ?

Why is it that our honorable board
of county commissioners still insists
in imposing on the people of Chelan
county an annual tax levy to pay the
cost and construction of a court
house?
While we admit that the building is
necessity and that we should have
it to properly preserve the county
records and provide adequate room
for the county officials and their
stats to carry on the business of the
people, still it would seem to US that
{. better policy would have been to is
sue bonds to pay for the cost of a
suitable building-bonds to become
payable annually from say the 10th
to the goth year. This would relieve
our already overburdened taxpayers
at time when it is really needed, as
everyone knows.
The life of any substantial building
for court house purposes would be
from thirty to fifty years. Why then
should we be compelled to pay the en-
tire cost of it within a period of say
four or five years?
Taxes are exceptionally high in our
state and every effort should be made
by our county officials to keep the
levy down to the minimum-and give
cur people a breathing spell.

BOARD PLANS
TO IMPROVE
STEVENS PASS

According to headlines in the Wen
atchee World, the county commission
ers plan to spend 100000 in improv-
ing the road from Leavenworth to
Merritt to connect with the improve.
ment made this fall by the forestry
department on Stevens Pass, though
from the text of the World article il
is not plain what sum the county may
be prepared to put into the project
Therefore it may be we'll to take the
World statement with a grain of al
lowance. The World article follows:
About thirty thousand dollars re-
naming from the hundred thousand
dollar appropriation to complete the
Stevens Pass road from the summit
east to Merritt, may be applied on
improving the continuation of this
road down Mason Greek, around Ma
ta-poc mountain and down Chumstick
canyon toward Leavenwolth. This
construction would provide a suitable
road nine miles or more shorter than
the present highway which runs up
Chumstick canyon and by more de-
vious route around the mountain to
Mason creek.
The new road would leave the
present one at the Chumstick school
house, go around Beaver hill, thus
eliminating the grade there and hug
Na-ta-poc mountain all the way
around to Mason Creek, passing south
of Lake Wenatchee, connecting with
the newly improved road across Stew
ems Pass east of Merritt
The county commissioners recently
addressed letter to District Forest
er George H. Cecil at Portland ap-
proving the project and indicating
their willingness to have the county's
portion of the leftover funds applied
to the work.
The economies practiced by James
Myers of the bureau of public roads.
who has been is charge of the con-
struction of the Stevens Pass high
way, now nearly complete, are large
ly responsible for the leftover fund
with which the new work is proposed
to be carried on.
The commissioners in their letter
to Mr.. Cecil commended the economi-
cal and efficient work of Mr.. Myers
on the Stevens Pass highway.
This will provide good road to
Wenatchee Park and other settled
portions of the Chumstick valley, and
will also make possible the compile
ton of good road to Lake Wenat-
chez with very little additional ex-
penditure. 1t will form the final link
in the Stevens Pass highway over the
Cascades as it is expected that the
work west of the summit will be fin
ished next season

SAWDUST
MAKERS
"BAWL"

Monday night the Great Northern
Lumber Company held its Second An
nual Sawdust Makers "Bawl" at the
company club house. 1t was one of
the best attended and most entirely
successful dances ever held there.
From the time the music started at Q
o'clock until Home Sweet Home at
1890, everyone was happy and
showed it. The floor was crowded
every dance and young and old joined
together in jolly good fun On of the
boys said before the dance: at was
howling success last year, lets
make it a roaring success this year
Asd it certainly was all of that in
spite of the fact that the decision to
shut down Monday night came that
same afternoon. The annual dance
is given the night the mill shuts
down. so refreshments were pre-
pared, music engaged and programs
printed, all after three p. m. the
same day. Yet the dance seemed to
gain rather than lose in both numbers
and hilarity by the very impromptu
arrangements which it was feared by
some might dampen the enthusiasm.
Mr.. 0. F. Gardner, General Man
ager. gave IN outline of the activities
of the season and voiced his apprecia-
ton Of the record hung up and more
especially of the spirit of hearty CO.
operation and good fellowship with |
which the record was achieved. He
thanked all the employees for this !
spirit and for their help and told
them that he knew that the same
spirit in the same organization next |
year could surpass even this years |
good record. However, he pointed
out several mistakes which he
thought had been made this year. In
the first place he told the saw mill
boys that in not putting in extra
hours during the summer months |
they had not only stood in their own
way financially, but had hurt the feel
ings of those who were trying to helm
them solve the bread and butter
problem where the work did not last
twelve months in the year. He
thought that they ought to have
"made hay while the sun shines" and
that he considered their mistakes as
thoughtless rather than intentional.
Mr.. Gardner also mentioned other
mistakes, especially the absolute fol-
~ of giving hard-eaned dollars to
the bootleggers who live off the toll
of others. His remarks were all 10
the point and earnest and We're well
received by those present who an
plauded him warmly.
The short time for preparation of
refreshments did not prevent Mrs.
Lucier from having plenty of delc-
ious sandwiches, doughnuts, cake and
coffee and the committee also had
cider on tap all evening for the
thirsty.
The entire program went smoothly
and exactly according to schedule
with the possible exception that the
orchestra was especially generous
and the crowd eager for all possible
encores. II was 1890 when Home
Sweet Home was played and even
then everyone regretted that the time
had flown so fast.
