Paul Lachmund, from Clinton, Iowa,
has accepted position with the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co. Mr.. Lachmund has
been connected with various large lum-
Der companies in the northwest. He
was secretary of the Hayden Lumber
Company of Spokane, one OF the largest
in eastern Washington.
Will Johnson, who was employed in
the car repairing department of the
Great Northern at this place, but left
last summer to accept position with
the company at Hillyard, returned to
this place last week and is now staying
with his father, l. n. johnson, on the
ranch. He will soon go to work on the
railroad again.
Last Sunday was record breaker in
temperature here. During the middle
of the day the thermometer stood at
hundred in the shade. In Seattle it
stood at So, which was unusal for the
Sound country. In Wenatchee it was
even warmer by several degrees than
here. The past two weeks has been
an extraordinary long hot period for
this portion of Washington.
Willie Harris "the latest boy on
earth,' lives on farm near Du Quoin,
Ill. Willie is Is years old foot 4inches
high, weighs sos pounds, measures II
inches around the waist and 81 around
the chest. His thigh measurement is
A inches and calf measurement % in
ches. At birth Willie weighed but Z
pounds has and always been healthy
Willie is obliged to use two chairs when
he sits down. Collar buttons neck
ties and handkerchiefs are the only
ready made things that Willie can buy
for himself.
An outing party consisting OF Miss
Anna Tholin, Mrs. L j. Nelson, Mr.
and Mrs. Jacobsen, Mr.. and Mrs. Bliss
and Messrs. Hadley and Lachmund
spent last Sunday across the divide, on
the Lake Wenatchee road. The party
left town about sun-up and returned be-
tween eight and nine o'clock. A fine
picnic dinner was spread under the
trees and an all around good time was
had. Not the least enjoyable part of
the outing was the ride out and back,
said Mr.. Bliss, who rode two horses
one at time.
r. P. Webb, the prospective candi-
date of the democratic party for sheriff
of this county, was visitor to this
town last Saturday, returning to We
natchee Sunday. Mr.. Webb has spent
many years in Douglas and Chelan
counties, and is one of the most success
full farmers in the Wenatchee valley.
The Echo Is not on the same side of the
political fence, but recognizes in Mr..
Webb the highest order of citizenship
There is some comfort, at least in the
reflection that if the man you voted
against is elected he will administer
the duties OF his Office fairly and hon.
estly.

Columbus, Ga, March 3O-News

Hamilton.
1t seems that Henry Page, bailiff OF
Cataula, had arrested John Williams,

After preliminary trial before Judge
Thompson at Cataula Williams was
placed under 5000 bond, and the bail.
if was directed to carry him to the

On the way to Hamilton it seems
that the negro became very imperti

out of the buggy. He also took the
officers gun from him and attempted
to kill him. The bailiff recovered
the gun after a desperate struggle
the negro fighting like wild beast,
and to save his own life the bailin

New York, March 30.-All records
Of the tax department in New York
have been broken by woman whose
name was not made public. She &C.
complished this by appearing before
Commissioner Grady and protesting
that her assessment was too small.
The official, after recovering from
his astonishment, raised the amount
from $4,000 to $4,000, making a diff
ference of $40 in the levy. For sew
eral days the commissioners have
been busy listening to complaints OF
persons who reside elsewhere and
wished to swear off the taxes on per.
sonal property. Therefore, the Off
cials were completely taken aback by
the woman's unique request and en-
deaVorsd to secure her photograph fol
