The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1905-12-01

Advance had announced in it's issue of
Nov. 18th that it would thoroughly in
vestigate the matter and later publish
the result, this paper decided to sus-
pend further comment, but in the
meantime conduct an investigation on
its own account.
II an investigation shows that the
firm of j.. B. Powles & Co., has been
misrepresented the Echo will take the
first opportunity to state the facts.
Without waiting for the result OF the
investigation, the Echo here and now
demurs to the sufliciency of j. B.
Powles & Co.'s general denial to the
charges preferred by S. F. Morical, of
Entiat, Wash. Mr.. Powle's letter,
which we have not the space to repub-
lish, is more in the nature of plea In
confession and avoidance, than a
denial.
Mr.. Morical charged that the firm
OF Powles e. Co. wrote him that his
peaches were In poor condition, and
that they were sold for 65 cents per
box. This left the impression on Mr..
Morical's mind that If they had been
in good condition they would have sold
for higher price. The lady who
bought the peaches stated over her
signature that they were the finest
peaches she ever saw. and that the con-
dition and packing was AL. The price
paid was $l.75.
This important part of the charge
Mr.. Powes does not refer to in the
general denial. Is the truth of this
part of the charge to be taken as con-
fessed.
The editor OF the Echo lived at We
natchee for several years, and enjoys
the acquaintance OF number of the
prominent fruit growers OF that valley,
and can say that to a number of them
MIR. Powles' denial is not satisfactory.
There are other respects In which
Mr.. Powles' general denial is INSULT
cient. The long standing of his house
and the financial success it has made of
the commission business is no answer
to the charges at all.
Did his house only receive IS cents
for the particular box of peaches which
he reported were in bad condition, and
which Mrs. A. G. Strathdea wrote she
paid $1.75 for, and which she said were
in the best condition she ever saw
peaches. These are vital points in the
issue that deserve the treatment OF a
special denial A very special and ex-
haustive denial, before the fruit growers
OF the Wenatchee valley will be en-
tirely satisfied that the firm of j. B.
Powles & Co. even approximate that
commercial condition which might be
likened unto snow.

Head Of Commission House Writes
Letter to Echo, In Regard 10
Article From Advance.

The following letter was received
from Mr.. Powles, head OF the commits
sion house of that name, last week, but
too late for publication:
Seattle, WASH, Nov. %, 1905.
"Mr. Deed H. Mayer,
editor, The Echo,
"Leavenworth, Wash.
Dear Strive notice in one of your
recent issues you reprint an attact
made by the Wenatchee Advance on
the integrity of our house, in fact, as
sailing the commission merchants in a
body. We were not surprised nor yet
displeased in your publishing the
article. but we do expect in return that
you publish the answer aud give it the
same publicity that you did in the first
instance; but we do strongly take ex-
ception to the few lines that appear at
the foot of the article.
"The writer never claimed to be a
saint, but If he was going to be one he
would prefer being sweet scented to
being sour. Just why this should be
our preference 1t is not necessary for US
to say.
I'VE take it that you enjoy the ac-
qnaintance of the writer for you GER
tainly could not in justice man to man
make such statement unless you were.
If the writer enjoys your acquaintance
it must be very casual for he has no
recollection of you. Now, the first
time you are in town call in and shake
hands with me. I have formed an
opinion of you which will not express
fearing that 1t might do you an in
Justice. We sometimes draw conclu-
sions which are far from the mark as
we become acquainted with the other
party.
''If you publish in your paper the re-
port as we expect you to do. which re-
ply will or should appear in the Ad-
vance of this week, we wish you would
mail us copy, for not hearing from
you, we will conclude you have not
acted as we have requested you to and
furthermore that our first conclusions
of you are correct. Failing to publish
the article, we will then conclude
whether or not to take any action.
''In closing we would ask you one
question, have you ever in this western
country or any other country, unless 1t
be possibly the large cities of the east,
ever known a commission house to run
fifteen years and during that period
enjoy continuous prosperity also dur
ing that period confine themselves al
most exclusively to consignment
business? We believe not. Such pros
perity cannot be enjoyed unless the
policy OF the house is based upon honor
able and fair treatment to everyone and
especially the producer. This house
was organized in 1890 and practically
under one management all that time,
as far as the Office department at least
is concerned. We have a record and
reputation that is entitled to an en-
tirely different echo than you gave US
in the publication that you got out.
Respectfully yours,
~. B. Powles g. Co.

DOGGlE'S COSTLY MEAL.
1t Costs It's Owner One Hundred
Francs and "a Lawsuit.

1t Costs It's Owner One Hundred
Francs and Lawsuit.
The complainant in a recent law suit
at Narbonne, France, made oath that he
was one day dining on the terrace or
open air space fronting on the sidewalk,
where French people are wont to take
their meals in summer. He had just be-
gun to eat his soup when it occurred
to him to count some money that he
had a short time before received. In
counting it he accidentally let fall
100-franc bank note into his soup.
Instantly he fished it out of the plate
with his fork and sent the soup away;
but the bank note was saturated and
he laid it down on the tablecloth to dry.
He was going on with his meal when
little gust of wind blew the bill Off
the table. Its owner jumped after it,
but wandering dog which had been
hungrily watching the meal was quick
er than he, and seized it. The taste of
the soup on the paper made it an edible
thing to the animal, and it was swal-
lowed in an instant.
And then the man who owned the bill
was, though bursting with rage, re-
duced to the humiliation and lnsln-
cerity of saying: Good doggie! Come
here, nice doggie," and to the employ
ment Of smiles and wneedling ways, in
order to get near enough to the animal
to read the name engraved on his col
lar. But he succeeded. and when he
had made a note of the name, he as
sisted the good doggie's" rapid de-
parture.
Next he brought a suit against the
man who owned the dog for the festi-
tuition of the 100 francs; and the court
at Narbonne, after hearing the evil
dence and the pleas at great length, de-
cided that the owner of the dog must
pay the other man the money.

CONFIDENCE

of slow growth" People believe
in things that they see, and in a
broad sense they are right. What
is sometimes called blind faith is
not faith at all. There must be
reason and fact to form a foun-
dation for trust. In regard to
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, "Has it cured 9TH
ers? Have cases like mine been
relieved by it9 Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it a record above suspic-
ion? If 80, it is worthy of conf
dence; and if [ am ever attacked

it is commended | shall resort
to it in full belief in its pow
er to help me-" On these lines
