A number of enthusiastic
Leavenworth women have sug-
gested to the Echo the propriety
of getting up some kind of enter
tainment for the Fourth of July,
so that our people will not be
compelled to go to some less de-
sirable place for their diversion.
1t is but reasonable to suppose
that the temperature will be
somewhat warm on the Fourth
in the lower valley towns, yet
while our people would prefer o
enjoy the comforts of our own
delightful climate, many of them
will go to neighboring towns for
the simple reason that some
attraction is held out
We have an incomparably
superior climate to any sur
rounding town. We nave what
SO many are without, fine shady

Why not get up Fourth of
July celebration. Have a big
basket dinner; some music and
singing; invite public speaker,
have real good old fashioned
time and everybody get acquaint-
ed with every other body. Fire
works and dancing might make
part of the evening attraction.

In his article in the May Worlds
Work on the Kansas oil fight Isaac F.
Marcosson tells the significant story OF
how the state bucked the twine trust.
Kansas raises more wheat than any
other state in the union, and the farm
ers have to buy millions OF pounds OF
Irvine to bind the sheaves every year.
In 1899 these farmers were paying the
Irvine trust an average of Is cents a
pound for Irvine. The price of wheat
was low; they were not making any
money. The farmers petitioned the
legislature for relief, ard the sum of
100000 was appropriated for state
Irvine factory. The constitution OF
Kansas forbids the state to enter any
private business; so the twine fac
tory to evade the law was established
to give employment to convicts. The
SUPPLEMENTARY of the factory was
left to the warden and the board
of directors of the penitentiary. The
convicts were taught to make Irvine.
The next year the Kansas farmers were
buying Irvine for 01a centsa pound.
Every implement store or CROSSROADS
general store in the state was made an
agency. The dealer bought the twlne
for cents. and made half a cent for
selling it. The Kansas farmer bought
Irvine for3 and 4 cents pound less
than his neighbor' across the line in
Nebraska. The factory soon began
to earn money. Now it has surplus
of So 900. 1t is paid back the or G.
appropriation of $l50,000 to the the
state and it owns a well equipped plant
The factory does not make enough to
supply all the farmers in the state, but
it has succeeded in bringing down the
price of Irvine everywhere In Kansas
to a reasonable figure.

THE BEST SCHEME OF ALL.

One of the very best of the
many good things that are COM
ing to Leavenworth is the open
ing up to settlement of a large
tract of land that lies at her very
door. Six or eight hundred
acres of land in one body will be
brought into cultivation, and
made productive by putting
water on it.
Mr.. HI. G. Peters, who is in
charge of the undertaking, will
have men and teams at work
building fumes and bitches that
will turn the water of Icycle river
on this land before the middle of
June. On account of the rapid
fall it will not be necessary to go
very far up the river to get
enough elevation to put the
water over the entire tract.
This will prove a great advantage
to the owners of the land, as q
short line canal will not be so
expensive to keep up and less
liable to be interrupted by
breaks.
The ditch can probably be COM
pleted in sixty days. All the
land under the ditch will be di-
vided into ten acre tracts. 1t is
the purpose, also, Mr.. Peters
tells the Echo to devote beauti-
fully wooded plot of ground into
park for the use of the resi-
dents of the irrigated tract.
A water and electric light sys
tenn will very likely be added
later on, as one of the conven-
fences.
1t has been demonstrated at
more than one place in Wash
ington that family of five, or
even more, can not only make a
living, but can save money, on
from two to five acres of irrigat-
ed land where thorough sys-
tenn of cultivation is followed.
This land lies Just across the
Wenatchee river from the town.
1t is rich, and can easily be
made as productive as any valley
land in the state.
Almost any variety of fruits or
vegetables that are grown in the
Wenatchee valley can be grown
on this land. Its proximity to
the town as a local market, and
the railroad as a means of ship
ping to distant markets should
make this very desirable.
Inside of two years the Echo
expects to see a good substantial
house on at least forty of these
ten acre tracts and a family &C.
cupying it.

DECORATION DAY ODE.
HENRY PETERSON

Bring flowers to strew again
With fragrant purple rain
Of liacS, and of white and red,
The dwellings, of our dead, our glorious dead
Let the bells ring a solemn funeral chime
And wild war-music bring anew the time
When they who sleep beneath
Were full of vigorous breath,
And in their usty manhood sailed forth,
Holding in strong right hand
The fortunes of the land
The pride and power and safety of the North
1t seems but yesterday
The long and proud array
But yesterday when evn the solid rock
Shook the earthquake shock,-
AS North and South like two huge icebergs ground
Against each other with convulsive bound,
And the whole world stood still
To view the mighty war,
And hear the thunderous roar,
While sheeted ightnngs wrapped each plain and hill
Alas how few came back
From battle and from wrack
Alas how many lie
Beneath Southern sky,
Who never heardsthe fearful fight was done
And all they fought for won.
Sweeter think their sleep,
More peaceful and deep,
Could they but know their wounds not in vain,
Could they but hear the grand trumphal STRAIN
And see their homes unmarried by hostile tread
All! let us trust it is so with our dead
That they the thrilling JOY OF triumph 1eel,
And in that Joy disdan the foemans steel.
We mourn for all, but each think of one
More precious to the heart than ought beside
Some father brother, husband, or some son
Who came not back, coming, sank and died.
In him the whole sad list is glorifed!
Gle fell for Richmond, in the seven long days
When battle ragged from morn till blood-dewed eve,
And lies there" pale, widowed mourner says,
And knows most to triumph or to grieve.
NV bow fell at Fair Oaks, another signs;
''And mine at Gettysburg" his neghbor cries,
And that great each sad eyed listner thrills.
think of one who vanished when the press
Ofbattle surg'd along the Wilderness,
And mourned the North upon her thousand hills
Oh! gallant brothers of the generous South,
Foes for day and brothers for all time,
charge you by the memories of our youth,
By Yorktowns field and Montezuma's cline,
Hold our dead sacred-let them quietly rest
In your unnumbered Wales, where God thought best!
Your vines and flowers learned long since to forgive,
And DER their graves broidered mantle weave;
Be you as kind they are, and the word
Shall reach the Northland with each summer bird,
And thoughts as sweet summer shall awake
Responsive to your kindness, and shall make
Our peace the peace of brothers once again.
And Danish utterly the days of pain.
