AWARDED GOLD MEDAL

The Wenatchee Milling company re-
ceived from Commissioner Johnson adj
vice TO the effect tn 1t their -four had
been awarded gold medal and diploma
at the worlds fair at ST. Louis, and
stating that the medal would be for
warded about March !. Considering
the expense TO which almost all the
large -four manufactures of the world
went TO 10 have an attractive display.
sparing neither money nor work, and
considering that it was in competition
with all the leading brands of eastern
-four, as well as the western, the award
carries with it a double significance. 1t
was not on the quality or appearance OF
display that the medal was given, for
the local mill people did not have a
very extensive or expensive one, but it
was on the quality of their -four, in
competition with thousands of other
brands from all over the United State.
Those who have used the Wenatcbee
Milling company's products have long
recognized their superiority and merit,
but this verdict al the hands of Impair
t,al judges and in competition with all
the other exhibitors at worlds far is
AN honor and an advertisement that
will mean thousands of dollars 10 the
company and indirectly to the town.
The full particulars have not yet been
received, but will be given out as soon
as they are Wenatchee Ad-
vance.
AS we understand the matter
the gold medal is the highest
award made. The whole county,
in fact the state, has a right to
be proud of this distinction. 1t
is not only tribute to the mill
but the grade of wheat grown in

ONE YEAR.

This issue of the Echo closes
the first year of it's existence ir
Leavenworth. The next issue
will be numbered Vol. 2, No. /.
In the past year a number OF
changes have taken place. We
are glad to state that the changes
have been for better things. In
the past year the town has had
three disastrous fires. In the
past year a system of water
works was completed that will
make q recurrence of such fires
as we had the past year all but
impossible. The business houses
that have been built are for the
most part of a very substantial
character and in themselves fur
nish partial immunity from fire.
The Lamb-Davis Lumber Com
pany's mill and dam was COM
pleted the past year and only
waits the coming of high water
to bring logs down from the
mountains,tlstart its machinery.
The population of the town has
increased seventy five residen
ces haye been completed, some of
them Of substantial kind, the
past year. Not such a poor
showing fol. town that less
than Two years ago wakened from
aydeep slumber. f.n2, a'd
81 IL isalthe purpose of the pub
1ish'eeirS eef6fhe Echo to enlarge the
paperstn six columns in the near
future and make such other i'm
propeiments sin the plant and in
theigeneral get up of the paper
as will put it fully up with the
ejtown.4iifis
If a town wants newspaper
it shows it by the way in which
it supports the paper, and it is
iusfaafy as good as the town in
which it happens to be located,
wants. If it is not as good as the
town wants some enterprising
and self sacrificing genius is
always ready to fill the want.
The publisher of the Echo has
tried to make the paper just as
good as the town wanted it to be.
Among those things that can't
be done is giving a community a
two thousand dollar newspaper
on one thousand dollars worth of
patronage. 1t can not be done.
1t is as impossible as putting a
camel through the eye of !. a
needle.
1t is the firm belief of the pub,
Usher that this town will grow,
and that the country surrounding
it is on the eve of great develop
ment, and that the increased pa
tronage will warrant the i'm
provement contemplated.
If those who know themselves
to be indebted on subscription
will come forward and pay up it
will materially help to accom-
plish the end rimed at.
With a full appreciation of the
friendship that las been extend
ed TO us and a determination to
give every subscriber the great
est value for his dollar during
the year 1905, we remain
Yours Sincerely,
D. cd III. Mavar.

L. L. Behan and Frank Allen
were business callers at Mineral
Point Wednesday.
DR.. Buck and Art Nehls of Platte
vile were here on Tuesday.
The Livingston band played at
Galena fair two days this week.
A number from here are in at
tendance.
Livingston is experiencing a min
ing boom. There is bright outlook
for many of the prospects around
here. The Famous Mining Co. has
voted to stock their mine for $50, 600
on the Gundlach farm. The Gopher
Mining Co., commence to drill on
the Vlpond farm next Monday
morning. There is also a good
prospect on the John Miller farm
north of town.

tendencies, followed very promptly
by revulsions to rising barometer,
westerly winds and change to
much colder.
The last regular Vulcan storm
period for October extends from the
Oath to 29th, being central on the
25th. Change to much warmer,
with decided fall of the barometer,
will be noted in western sections by
the Oath and 25th. These conditions
will be quickly followed by cloudi-
ness, storm and precipitation. By
Thursday the Goth, decided storms,
attended by heavy rains and
autumnal lightning and thunder,
will be developed on their eastward
march across the country. These
storms will reach their crisis and
eliminate in much force on and
touching the 2Sth. Warm autumn
nal rains will be natural from about
the 26th to the 28th. A sudden
severe change to much colder will
almost certainly rush out of the
west and north within twenty-four
hours of sun down on the 2Sth.
Dangerous gales and tidal waves
along the Atlantic and gulf coasts
should be no surprise to any
student of our forecasts, on and
about October the 2Sth. The new
moon in perigee, so near the cele-
stiaLequator and passing to south
defamation, will add greatly to
atmospheric and oceanic perturba-
tons, the atmospheric tides will be
drawn southwark, and a dash of
early winter will drift far to the
southwark as a consequence. AS the
month goes out of reactionary
storm period will be in it's first
stage-the barometer will be falling
in the west with change to warmer
and gathering clouds. This period
will express itself in more or less
storms and disturbed weather
conditions during the opening days
of November.

AMONG The LEAD AND ZINC Mines.

forth an especially good showing.
A shaft will be sunk soon.
The owners of the Coker mine
have purchased large Ingersoll
compressor and 100 horse power
boiler from the Galena Iron Works
company. 1t is their intention to
have same installed and running
within the the next twenty days.
The Coker mine is one of the
steadiest producers in the Zinc and
Lead district.
Zinc ore advanced So per ton last
week, the highest price paid being
$54 per ton for the ore from the
Mocking Bird lease, and from Mike
the Duck and the Togo. The assay
basis ranged from $47 to $50 per ton
OF 60 per cent zinc. The demand
for zinc ore was excellent, but the
output and shipment was not as
large as the week previous, the
largest week of the year. On ac-
count Of the spirited demand it is
reported that some ore brought a
higher price than the equivalent of
a $50 basis, but it is not known what
bins sold for such prices.
Lead still holds up to the $63 so
per ton mark, where it has remain
ed for several weeks. This IS the
price paid for the choice bins, while
the lower grades brought $63 per
ton.

The Chandler Mining company
received their twelve-inch pump
this week, and it will be installed
at once.
The Gritty Six as gone into new
sheets to the north and west, and
the mill and rooster will be started

Fine Grillings Of lead have been

The work on the Consolidated
Co.'S incline shaft is progressing
rapidly. They are taking out ore
richer than ever on the breast.
The stock in the mine at British
Hollow, which has been opened up
by Winfield Ray and Jas. Parish. M.
Brown and Frank Fisher is all sold

was made yesterday by the Enter
prise. In drilling on the lots north
of the st. Paul track, this excellent
showing was found.

A Show Too Good To Miss.

Edwin Brush, the magician, will
appear at Reeds opera house on
Thursday evening, Oct. 5th., and
anyone failing to see him will miss
a treat such as Lancaster seldom
enjoys. Brush gives a beautiful
refined and complete entertainment,
with lots of animal tricks, and his
Great Hindoo Basket Illusion is
worth coming miles to see. He
catches live fish from the air, has a
lamp trick that makes Aladdin's
pale into insignifcance, and, in
short, presents boquet of novelties
which surpass anything heretofore
achieved in the field of magic.

Free Advertising.

We are occasionally requested to
insert advertising by persons either
having no knowledge Of the value
Of space in a newspaper or are too
stingy to pay for it. These Chart
ably disposed people will tell the
editor that he may just as we'll fill
up the space in his paper with tt cir
advertisement as with news item
or an editorial
Advertising space is one of the
things the proprietor of a newspa-
per has to Sell. From such sales no
inconsiderable part of the revenues
OF a newspaper are derived. A coun-
try weekly newspaper cannot live
from the amounts received from
subscription. Subscriptions little
more than pay for the paper, ink
and postage and incidental cost of
publishing paper; hence the prop
rietor of newspaper must have
some other source of revenue than
that derived from subscriptions.
1t would be just as reasonable 10
request the manager of an opera
house or a conductor on railway
passenger train to give one a seat
free because there may be some
empty, as to request a publisher to
give advertising space because all
such space may not be purchased.
If an editor should go into dry
goods store and tell the proprietor
he might just as we'll give him the
making of a dress for his wife
as all his dress goods would not
be sold the man of goods would con-
slider the scribe daffy or a beggar.
Or if an editor should go into
fruit store and tell the proprietor he
might just as well donate a part of
his fruit to scribe as it would soon
be unfit for sale the fruit dealer
would consider Mr.. Editor little bet
ter than a tramp Scores of such
cases might be cited to show how
ridiculous and brazen it is to expect
a newspaper publisher to donate adj
vertising space.

Beautitying Fort Crawford Cemetery.

The old Fort Crawford cemetery
at Prairie du Chen, which has been
under discussion for the past six
years, is actually to be redeemed
from wreck and ruin. A force of
men under the direction of Quarter
master General C. E. Boiler, of Chi
cago, has begun remodeIing the old
historic grounds and will ran5form
it into beautiful park. The Gene
terry is one of the oldest in the state
where rest the remains Of many
OF the frontier soldiers stationed
at Fort Crawford as early as
1926 and 1880. The old fashioned
vaults and slabs are being
rebuilt and recut. An iron fence
with arched entrances built, the
grounds graded and the graves of
the unknown dead marked. Seven
years ago congress appropriated
So, 500 for the work but owing to a
hitch in the title to the grounds the
government could not go on with
the work. The lands we're sold in
1862 to the Lawler estate, but the
heirs released their claim.
Thomas P. Street, Indian agent
for the government in the early
days, is one one of the prominent
graves there, as well as several
army officers from 1880 to 1910.

OCTOBER WEATHER.
Preacher Hicks Tells Us What to
Expect Next Month.

A regular vulcan storm period is
central on the End extending from
the LIST to the 9Th. Change to warm
er with falling barometer apd grow
ing cloudiness will appear in western
parts as early as the LIST and End.
During Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, the 3rd, 4th and 9Th,
these conditions will advance east
wardly across the country, causing
rains and autumnal storminess over
most paris lying along and near the
paths of storm centers.
AS rule series of active if not
severe boreal storms, from the
northwest over the great lakes, and
from the northeast over the central
and northern Atlantic, set in during
the first storm periods in October.
Such results should not be unex-
pected from the End to the 9Th Of
this month. Northwesterly gales,
rapid rise of the barometer, clear
ing weather with frosts and some
freezing northward, will follow
close upon the rear of these storms.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday,
the 9TH, 8th and 9th, are rea ction-
airy storm dates. On these days
there will be a decided return of
, storm conditions Let it be clearly
understood what is meant by storm
conditions. Anti-storm conditions
are, rising and high barometer,
westerly to northerly winds, clear
ing and colder weather. Storm con-
ditions are, falling and low baro-
meter, easterly to southerly winds,
rising temperature and growing
, cloudiness. The reactionary storm
conditions on the 9TH, 8th, and 9th,
indicated by the asterisks in the
storm chart for those days, will re-
suit in more rain and storminess,
moving in storm centers like vast
trains from west to east over the
country. This reactionary period
In the on coming mercury disturb
ance, shown by the mercury brace
in the storm chart, is apt to be at
tended and followed by thick cloudi-
ness, mist and drizzle, causing sleet
and possible spurts of snow toward
the north. Change to much cooler
will follow these disturbances.
The next regular storm period is
central on the 18th, covering the
18th to the 18th. This period is at
the center of the mercury disturb
ance, with moon at full on the 18th
and in apogee on the 14th. Marked
depressions of the barometer, and
other evidences of gathering storms
will appear to the westward as
early as the 18th, and during the
days next following up to the 10th
or 18th very decided autumnal
storms will visit most parts of this
and other continents. We predict
that a sweeping high barometer
and cold northerly gales followed
by frosts will come out of the north
and reach far southwark at the
close of this period.
The reactionary storm period,
central on the 10Th, Doth and Dist,
coming as it does near the close of
the mercury period, will most like
ly take up the mercury character
istics, by prolonging the tendency
to cloudiness, cold rains and sleet.
About the Doth and Dist, naturally
we should expect increased storm

Navigation on the Wisconsin River.

There is a conflict IN official Cir
cles concerning the character Of the
Wisconsin river. Recently the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
decided that the river is navigable,
and in conformity with it's decision
compelled the Wisconsin Dells COM
pany to equip and conduct it's
steamers in the manner provided
by the law regarding the opera
ton of freight and passenger steam
ers. Notwithstanding this action
by the government, and the prompt
compliance of the steamboat COM
pany, Capt. j. V. Judson, the en-
gineer in charge of government
work in the district, has recon-
mended that drawless bridge be
built at Portage in place of the
bridge which was recently destroy
ed. 1t this recommendation is
complied with the Wisconsin Dells
company will be compelled to
abandon the steamboat traffic which
it has established along the Wis
cOnsin river north Of Portage.
If there is a demand for steam
boat traffic on the Wisconsin river
1t would be mistake to build a
drawless bridge at Portage. Water
transportation is an advantage that
no city or town can afford to ignore.
Everywhere there is a revival of in
terest in abandoned waterways, and
canal projects are mooted in Sec
tons which have long desired the
benefit of water borne commerce.
The old canals of Ohio are now
utilized more profitably than here
tofore because of the abandonment
of horses and mules as the motive
power and the installation of
gasoline motors. The work of en-
larging the Erie canal is in pro-
gress, and it may be expected that
the boats carrying from 1000 to
1900 tons which are to use the i'm
proved waterway will be propelled
by gasoline motors.
The residents of cities along the
upper Mississippi river are clamor-
ing for improvements in the chan
nels that will enable them to re-
establish freight and passenger
service with steamboats,. The de-
sires of these people are warranted
by the opportunities which an i'm
proved river would afford. If the
Mississippi river is improved, and
traffic over it's waters increased
commensurately, there will be a
stronger demand for freight and
passenger traffic on the Wisconsin
from points beyond Portage to
Prairie du Chen. Therefore the
government should not make the
mistake of permitting the con-
struction of a drawless bridge at
Portage.
