THE FIREMENS BALL.
Christmas Night Ball And Banquet IL
Grand Success. Large crowd in
Attendance.

Those who are fond of dancing, and
in this town nearly everybody is, had
the opportunity of their life at the fire
mems ball on Christmas night. The
opera house was fairly we'll filled, with
dancers, some sixty-fve or seventy
couples being on the floor at one time.
Everything passed off most pleas
antly. Added to a good floor was good
music, the Wenatchee orchestra, com
posed of w. D. McCaughey and wife,
Charles Writ and Arthur Bousquet,
were highly praised.
AS grand finale to dance which
was in all ways the best of the season,
the banquet prepared by Mrs. Green
and Mrs. Goerger, was by common
consent declared the best that any one
had sat down to in Leavenworth. The
tables were most tastefully arranged
and beautifully decorated with hot
house flowers shipped from the coast
The viands were served in the most
approved manner and consisted OF
every thing obtainable. The banquet
contributed its full share to the success
of the affair.
The railroad boys have good cause
to congratulate themselves over their
ball. The best of order was maintained
throughout and the dancing kept up
until we'll along towards morning.

but to our reputation as a MINDLESS
country the damage has been incalcu-

make the claim for this country that
the wind does not blow here but will
confine itself to making comparisons
that will not be considered flattering
either to the state of Kansas or the
town of Wenatchee.

OUR HOMESEEKERS EDITION.

The Echo has every reason
for believing that if the advan
tages of this section of Chelan
county can be brought to the
notice of those who are seeking
homes in the state of Washing
ton that it will result in creating
a demand for every productive
acre of land in this vicinity.
On account of the great produc-
tivity of our lands and the diver
sity of crops it is not necessary
to own and cultivate large tracts
of land. Five and ten acres
planted in fruit will keep fam
lily of four or five employed the
greater portion of the year and
will not only yield enough to
support the family but will also
yield enough to open a bank.
account.
The truth of this statement has
been proven over and over again
in the lower portion of the val
ley, near Cashmere and We
natchee, where land is selling
at from $500 to 81 500 per acre.
Recently some half dozen state
ments were made under oath
showing that lands in the We
natchee river valley that cost
from $500 to $1,000 per acre were
yielding a handsome profit every
year.
In this immediate vicinity
there is room for five hundred
ten acre fruit farms. Now The
Echo believes that if every one
of these tracts was occupied by
an industrious and thrifty owner
it would help in building up and
sustaining a town of three
thousand inhabitants. The bene
fit to every one who owns lot,
a tract of land or has home or
business here is so obvious that
it does not require explaining.
Thus believing, and wanting
to do full share of the work to
this end The Echo will issue be-
tween April list and May 1st a
large edition, from twelve to
fifteen hundred copies OF a
twelve to sixteen page paper, de-
voted entirely to showing the
advantages of this section to
home seekers. 1t will be mailed
to every state in the union.
TO do this effectively The
Echo must have the help and
support of every man who favors
the movement and wants to see
the country settle up and waste
places made productive.
If you own two lots and want
to sell one to enable You to build
on the other, we want you to
help. If you own ten or twenty
acres of productive land and
want to sell half of it, we want
your help, In short, we want
all to help, because it is to the
interest of all to help.
We have the land, and we
proved at the Wenatchee fair
last September that our land is
just as productive, and just as
valuable as the land in the lower
part of the Wenatchee valley,
and that it can be bought for
from one fourth to one-tenth
what land costs around We
natchee and Cashmere. That
the tide is coming this way is
proved by the large number of
land sales around Peshastin,
four miles from here, last fall,
Just before winter sat in.
All things come to them that
wait, but they come sooner if
you go after them.
Let us go after homeseellers.

with deep under-thrill of excitement:
Are you sure, Mr. Haynes-are you
quite sure that this is substantially
correct?"
Minor details may be inexact. In all
essentials that will correspond to the
marks made by something that walked
from the mouth of the gully to the spot
where we found the body and back again. "
Before he had fairly finished the pro-
fessor was out of the room He returned
almost Immediately with flat slab of
considerable weight. This he laid on the
table, and taking the drawing, sedulOusly
compared it with an impression, deep
sunken into the slab. For Haynes a
single glance was enough. That impress
sion, stamped as it was on his brain, he
would have identified as far as the eye
could see it.
That's itl'' he cried with the eager
ness of triumphant discovery. THE
bird from whose foot that cast was made
is the thing that killed Serdholm.''
"Mr Haynes" said the entomOlogist
dryly, this is not a cast"

wilderment. What is it, them"

THE Cretaceous. The creature whose

Haynes looked again at the rock, and
superfluOus emotions stirred among the
roots of his hair
Where did you find it?" he asked
presently.
1T formed a part of Mr.. Johnston's
stone fence. Probably he picked it up
in his pasture yonder. The maker of the
mark inhabited the island where we now
are-this land then was distinct from
Long Island-in the intellectually ancient
ages"
What did this bird thing call itself? !"
Haynes demanded. A sense of the
CHASTITY righteousness of the thing was
jostling, in the core of his brain, a strong
shudder of mental nausea born of the
void into which he was gazing.
1T was not bird. 1t was a reptile
