tween Tug and Barge and Was
Struck by the Hawser and Knocked
verboard-Launch Capsized and
Rolled Under Barge.

Beverly, N. j., Oct. pa launch
containing nine men, all of Philadel-
phia, collided with a barge in the Della
ware river, of this place, resulting in
the drowning Of six of the occupants
Of the little boat. The other three
were rescued by the crew of the tug
boat Bristol, which was towing the
barge when the accident happened.
Those rescued are:
Captain John Winch, owner Of the
launch; w. f. Russell and J. Ruther-
ford.
The dead are: William Winch, John
Ellis, John Stevenson. Samuel Heron,
Norman Delaney, James Yonkers.
The launch was hired by eight Of
the men, most of whom lived in the
northeastern part of Philadelphia. The
elder Winch took his son along to as
sist him in running the boat The day
was spent near Croydon, on the Penn
sylvania side of the river. The start
home was made late in the afternoon.
Opposite this place the launch met
the tug Bristol, in command OF Cap
tain Mott, which was towing a barge
to Bordentown, N. J. Whether Cap
tain Winch saw the barge is not
known; nevertheless, he attempted to
cross the tugs stern. Captain Mott
hailed him and tried to prevent him
from doing so. Captain Winch was
standing at the wheel of the launch
as he went around the stern of the
tug. The hawser of the tug struck
him and knocked him overheard. Be-
member of the party could take the
wheel to steer the launch clear of the
barge, the latter struck the frail boat
amidship, capsizing it.
The launch rolled under the barge,
and its occupants went with it. Cap
tain Mott put the tug about and went
to the rescue. He and his crew threw
ropes and life preservers to the strug-
Cling men in the water, but they were
able to save only three of them. The
rescued men were landed here by the
tug and cared for at a hotel.
Captain Mott, assisted by several
residents Of Beverly went in search Of
the bodies and were rewarded by find
ing three, but darkness put an end to
the work.
Another Accident.
Yonkers, N. Y, Oct. 23.-Five per-
sons. the body of one having been re-
covered, are believed to have been
drowned by the running down of a
catboat by a tug off South Yonkers.
Members of the South Hudson Boat
club heard cries for help out on the
river, and in the heavy mist that pre-
vailed were able to make out the out
lines of a capsized sailboat and of a
tug that was running rapidly down the
river. The cries ceased before the
yachtsmen, who had put out to the
rescue in a rowboat, reached the cat
boat, which they found deserted and
with her side stove in. In coat
aboard the boat they found a list of
names, which proved to be those of
party who had gone sailing in the boat.
They were Edward Nelson. the owner
Of the boat; his son Edward, Benjamin
Benson. p. Simpson and Earl Thomp-
son, all OF South Yonkers. The body
of Benson was found not far from the
scene of the collision. Nothing has
been heard of the missing men.

Printers Not Considered.

The Labor Review tells an ln- cident connected with the life of Rev. B. s. Baldwin. who died in Los Angeles recently: Late i'll the eos at Leavenworth, Kan sas, there was an effort, during a revival to stop the publication of Sunday morning newspapers, on the ground that by them the thoughts of the people were made to dwell to much on worldly at- fairs. Rev. Baldwin visited the newspaper offices and was told that work on Sunday papers was done Saturday and that work on Monday papers would cause printers to violate Sunday by working. This stumped the { preacher for few seconds, but :, he soon rallied to the occasion and answered: Well, it don't make any difference whether the printers work Sunday or not, for they will all go to hell, any way"

llliterates Decreasing.

According to a bulletin issued by the census bureau about 1O6 persons out of 1 ,OOO in the Uni ted States more than 10 years old are unable to write. This is equivalent to about one in ten. Of the native white population, only 46 out of every 1000, or fewer than one in twenty of the foreign born, while 12s out of every 1000, and of the negroes *45 out of every 1000 are 1llit- crate. There is ground for satis- faction in the statistical evidence that illiteracy is steadily reduc- ing. In 1890 the number of illit- crates for each 1000 was 133 for the total population, 62 for the native white population, 13O for the foreign born white popu- lation and 568 for negroes, In- dians and Mongolians Women are shown to- be. more illiterate than men.

Spontaneous Ignition of
 Piles

A remarkable case of sponta- neous ignition that recently oc- cured in erecting the walls of the new Rotterdam quay is rela- ted by the Technische Rundschau
 Morrison rams had been in use there for some time, which by 1SO to 200 strokes per minute of the failing ram caused steady advance of the piles. The foun- dation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the uuicksand down to the solid ground.
 On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found owing tc the enormous friction, to have been charred en- tirely and heated to such q point as to begin burning spontaneous ly on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition
 It may be said that when leav- ing the piles in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remaining confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings Sci entifiC American.

Mexico Whipped Japan.

Last Friday out at Red Lake, station on the Grand Canyon railroad, nine miles north ofhere, trouble occurred between two gangs of laborers, Mexicans and Japanese. There were torty-fve Mex1cans and about eighty Japs on the ground, but from the first the latter were outclassed.
 Grabbing up rocks and other missiles as they ran, the Mexicans caused the air to look black for a time with flying headsplitters, and as they were all pretty good marksmen, the Japs, who- it is said, throw like a woman, were soon put to flight, leaving their wounded on the field ot their ig- nominious defeat. In all, about eight Japs were picked up as soon as quiet was restored and brough to to the hospital here to have their wounds dressed.-Williams News.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1905-09-15

Considerable attention has been at
tracted to the experiments of the Chi
cago & Alton railway with system of
wireless telegraph signals it has devised
for the promotion of safety on it's road.
All of the locomotives on this road
are to be equipped with wireless appaf-
atus, and through this method of COM
munication train approaching another
to within distance of two miles on the
same track will make its proximity
known automatically to the engineer OF
the other. The ringing of bell and
the fash of a green light will mean
that a train is coming up from the rear.
A red light will mean a train is in
front. AS the system provides for a
simultaneous exchange of signals, both
engineers will receive the warning at
the same moment, and each can stop
his train.
If the device proves practicable when
put to the test of actual use, its adop-
tion will go far toward eliminating
casualties due to collisions, and provide
for greater safety in the operation OF
railroads everywhere. The expert
ments should be watched with the
greatest care by all railway officials in
trusted with the operation OF trains

Leavenworth should Have An Ex-
hibit at the County Fair.
SPACE ALLOTTED THIS SECTION
Farm and Orchard Products From
the vicinity of LeaVenwOrth
Raised without
Irrigation.

While in Wenatchee one day this
week the editor of the Echo took up
the matter of securing an exhibit from
this portion OF the county for the an
nual county fair which will be held at
Wenatchee on the 9th, 28th, Goth and
30Ih of this month.
The fair management have agreed to
set aside a space for the exclusive use
of exhibitors from this portion Of the
county. If we shall succeed in arous-
ing the proper interest there is no
doubt about our&nailing a very credit
able showing. One that will attract
the attention of prospective investors.
An unusually large number of visitors
is confidently expected to visit the
Chelan county fair this fall. Not only
will the surrounding country be repre-
sented, but great many eastern peo-
pie who came west to see the Portland
show will also find it convenient to
visit the various district fairs and in
vestigate local conditions.
With our products grouped together
we can make considerable showing.
We feel confident that it is not in
quality that we will fall behind We
natchee, but rather in quantity.
The Echo has made arrangements
with that enthusiastic believer in the
future of our town, Mr.. Harold Koren,
who represents the Cascade Orchard
lands, to take care of the stuff intended
for exhibition, and who also generously
offered to pay the freight on the same
to Wenatchee. So that all that we
shall ask the people of this vicinity to
do is to select the best specimens OF
their product and leave it at the Office
of Mr.. Koren, Just across the street
from the opera house.
The name of the grower, pace where
raised and name of product will be
placed on each specimen.
In this way the interest and the at
tendance from this portion of the
county will be increased.
Our own direct benefits will accrue
from the attention directed to our agri-
cultural possibilities. We will thus
remove the impression that fruits and
vegetables can not be grown in this
locality
A large number have already prom
ised to take an interest in the move
ment- 1t is only necessary to act
promptly, as the time is limited.
Lot us all pull together and make a
creditable showing. Let the exhibit
from this section embrace every variety
of farm products grown in Chelan
county.

Considerable fuss is made because
an eastern Millionaire has stopped to
marry a hired girl living in Iowa.
Why
The girl must have graces and per-
sonal points or the Millionaire would
not have chosen her, and it is safe to
say that morally she is his equal, if not
his superior.
There is no stopping about it.
They were on "a level, or if anything
the hired girl was just little above
the millionaire.
All of us in America who amount
to anything are hired people.
No doubt this millionaire is a hired
man in charge of some big corporation.
Roosevelt is hired man.
And so are all our senator's and con-
gressmen and dipiomats-seryants in
the pay of the people.
And fellow citizens
One of the things that is the matter
with this country is the growing ten
dency to look down on the man who
works with his hands or the woman
who works with her hands.
The tendency is derilish and danger
Gus.
Let us learn again that the hands
that are SCARED by homes toll bear
wounds as honorable as those received
in battle. The overalls and the
gingham apron of labor are as honor
able and more useful than all the
martial trappings and uniform of wari
Let US learn again that the doctrine
of the dignity of labor is fundamental
to the republic.
And so we say hurrah for the hired
girl and hired man-these two-who
loved each other for what they were
and paid no attention to the accidents
of fortunes. Memphis News Scimitiar.

has received official thanks for his

Not only has he received kilograms of

The Everett Morning Tribune, S. E.

statement under an Olympia date to
the effect that The Morning Olympian
has suspended publication. Such
statement is false in every particular
and was sent out and published by the
Olympian's enemies for the purpose
of iniuring this newspaper. The
Olymian has not suspended publication;
there has been no intention to suspend
and is not now. On the contrary the
paper is on better financial footing
than ever before in its history.

Trees

On quarter OF an acre of the Carver
ranch which he had rented this year,
Ed Cook has quarter Of an acre con
taiLing % apricot trees. The crop
from the trees was sold under contract
at the rate OF 45 cents box. Mr.
Cook picked a total of AGO boxes of
fruit from the trees for which he re-
ceived The sum of S201. The average
yield per tree was 20 boxes and count
ing ia trees to the acre which is the
number usually planted, MIR. Cooks in
come was at the rate of s1206 per acre.
At the present prices of land near We
natchee this one crop alone would more
than double have paid the cost of the
land Wenatchee Daily World.
This interesting item is published
for the benefit of those who contem-
plate putting out orchards in this

is displayed in diTer7ifying the fruit
crops as other crops. 1t is well to re-
