sQUIREs DOESN'T WANT IT.
City Clerk objects to the Duties of
Employment Agent.

City Clerk Squires does not want to
handle the Office of city free employ
ment agent and viii tender his resfg-
nation. Mayor Davis is not sure that
the city council viii accept the resig-
nation. The free employment agency
has to be handled and the city coun-
ell wants to handle it economically.
The resignation follows:
To the Mayor and Council-Gentle-
men: I wish to call your attention to
section 6, chapter fS5, laws of Kansas,
lishment maintenance and conduct of
a free employment bureau and free
employment agencies in the state of
Kansas.
Section 6. If any city clerk shall
fail or refuse to carry out in good
faith, in a reasonably fair and efficient
manner, the duties devOlved upon him
by this act or by the direction, rules
and regulations of the director of free
employment, he shall forfeit his Office
as such free employment officer. and
be removed therefrom; provided, such
removal shall not affect the tenure of
his office as to its other duties. Any
agent provided for and appointed by
any city to conduct a free employment
agency under this act shall be removed
by the mayor at any time when re-
quested in writing by ten or more
electors of said city, upon showing
being made that such agent refused
or failed to perform the duties as re-
quired by this act. In case of the re-
moval or resignation for any cause of
the free employment agent in any city,
the mayor of such city shall immedi-
ately appoint a qualified person to ill
such vacancy.
At the meeting of the council of
May Is, 1905, when the report of the
committee on judiciary recommending
that the employment agency be placed
in the city clerks office I thought per-
haps the work might be done by my
department for less than $500 per
year, but after looking the matter up
I have changed my mind and believe
that it will cost the city less money to
allow the commissioner of elections to
have a deputy for the full year and
let the agency remain in his charge,
than it will for the city clerk to have
charge of the same. I have learned
that even with more help that many
duties will devolve on me, which will
consume much time, and I am con-
WINGED that it will be economy for the
city for me to forfeit the Office of en-
ployment agent, and I hereby request
that I be removed from such Office.
Yours for economy,
]. H. SQUIREs. City Clerk.

ROY DANIELS OBJECTED.
Wanted Mayor Davis to Keep His
Police Away.

Roy Daniels, well known to the police
and to the members of Tooeka's half
world and later manager of the notorious
Owl restaurant on lower Kansas avenue,
visited the mayors office this morning
with an objection.
The Owl restaurant has been dispensing
booze to the thirsty, in addition to fur
nishing a menu AS a result Of the liberal
dispensatfon the restaurant has been
raided several times of late. Roy Daniels,
says the mayor, objected to this latter
procedure on the part of the police. Said
Mayor Davis:
That's the first time I ever saw Dan
iels I didn't know him when ne entered
my office. He wanted me to haul of the
police and let him alone. He said he had
been troubled by the police several times
Of late and didn't appreciate the atten-
ton
The mayor failed to give Daniels any
satisfaction and the attentions Of the po-
lice will probably continue.

III PAYS To TILL rssR rRyrn.

The efforts of the Wenatchee
paper to minimise the import.
ance TO this town of having the
railroad shops located here. aud
belittle the trade value to the
merchants, does not spring from
malice. We prefer to put the
charitable Interpretation on his
statements and charge it to dense
ignorance of the situation here.
The Great Northern railway
idisburses at this point APP
proxinately $40, 900 per month.
Of course all of this is not spent
here, but very large part of it
goes into circulation in Leaven-
worth. The establishing of the
big saw mill here was most fortu-
nate and adds largely to the gen
!eral prosperity, but the trade of
the railroad employees still cuts
a considerable figure with the
business men of this town.
This same Wenatchee pnblica
ton contained a write-up of the
Lamb Davis Lumber Company's
mill which so grossly misrepre
sents them that it is the plain
duty of the Echo to state the
facts. Which it does elsewhere
in this issue. The Echo does
not believe that it was done with
the deliberate purpose of BELT
thing our most important in
!dustry. Again we take the
charitable view and lay it to
recklessness or ignor ance.
Neither of which is a crime.
From this statement we learn
that the company employs 200
men and pays 1920 per month
in wages. This figures out that
the company pays its men
twenty cents per day. When
the facts are that they employ
more than 210 men about the mill
alone, and pay out more than
$4,000 every month. Salaries
and wages ranging from s.. 90 to
$500 per day.
In this same write-up the
statement is made that the
Lamb Davis Lumber Co. cuts
from %, 600 to 80, 600 feet of lum-
Der every day. The facts are
that the cut never falls below
100, 900 feet for a ten-hour day,
and more often runs to 120, 900
and $50, 600 feet per day.
1t would always be so if
the Wenatchee publisher were
to print and edit a paper in We
natchee for this community. OF
course it would not willfully and
delibei ately distort the facts ST.
that comparisons between Lea
yenworth and Wenatchee would
lie odious to the former But "a
nonresident would not be eA
pected TO know. nor would he
have the same interest in telling
"a round, unvarnished tale
about our people and industries
that one who lived and had an
interest here would have.
The Wenatchee publication
will make no friends for itself
by publishing statements about
the industries of this town that
make US look small by compari-
son with his own home town on
the Columbia river.
