THE NEED OF MORE SCHOOL
ROOM,

In the past The Echo has fire.
auently called attention to the
fact that Leavenworth has out
grown her public school build
ing: If the present building
was large enough two or three
years ago it must be remem-
bered that the town has almost
doubled in population in that
time.
The need for a larger public
school building is so apparent to
all who have given the matter
thought. and the necessity for it
has become so insistent that il
will not down,
Before another school year
begins it will be necessary to
have more room to accommodate
the children. The number OF
children now attending the pub
lie school closely opproximatas
200. That fifty will be added to
this number by the time another
school term begins is very
probable.
At present the rooms are so
crowded, Notwithstanding one
grade has been moved to the
Sunday school room at the Con-
gregational church, that it is
impossible for the teachers to at
tain the best results. What are
we going to do about itf

CLIMATIC ODDITIES.

Wenatchee, says the World of
Tuesday. The ice is clear and
from ten to twelve inches thick.
1t has not yet been cold
enough here to make ice more
than three or four inches thick.
If we could arrange to swap
some of our snow for their ice it
would be advantageous to both
communities. Wenatchee peo-
Pile would then have good sleigh
ing and our own could put up
| ice.
1t is almost inconceivable that
so short a distance could make
so much difference in climate.
Leavenworth is 1165 feet above
sea level, and 400 feet higher
than Wenatchee. 1t is only %
miles farther up in the mountains
and yet it does not get so cold
here in the winter or so hot in
the summer. Even at Cashmere,
which is just half way between
here and Wenatchee the temper
allure falls low enough to make
ice. All the ice that is used here
is shipped every year from
Cashmere and Wenatchee, while
the railroad company ships about
seventy-five cars to this point
from Montana every winter to
fill it's ice house.
The people who are compelled
to put up ice have been known
to complain because it does not
get cold enough here to make ice.
But then these people would not
be satisfied in either of the
abodes of the hereafter. You
know it is morally impossible to
satisfy some people.
Now it SHOWS here, sometimes.
Excessively, some folks think.
In the past week the fall has APP
proximated three feet. Those
who are accustomed to associat.
ing a large amount of snow with
low temperature may be SUR
prised to learn that with all the
snow we have here the Their
mometer very rarely indicates
zero temperature. Only once
this winter did it touch that
point, when it indicated one
degree below. This lasted but
one day.
Another odd thing about our
climate is that the days are
usually colder than the nights.
Frequently in the afternoon,
from three to six, it will seem
quite nipping for those who have
to be out, but by eight o'clock
the thermometer will have risen
ten or fifteen degrees.
Men who are engaged in out
door occupations usually work
every day during the winter in
their shirt sleeves, while few
find it cold enough to wear an
overcoat.
An entire absence of wind dur
ing the winter months makes
this possible. We have fire.
quently seen twelve or fourteen
inches of snow stand up on the
edge of a three-quarter inch
board.
Take it the whole year round,
with an absence of extreme heat
in the summer or cold in the
winter, no wind and the best and
purest water in the world, this
climate is hard to beat. At
least that is what the people

Max and Hugo Kniess, two new pu-
pills in the kindergarten, in trying to
find their way home from school last

ton. After an exciting search they
were found near the Irving school by
Walter Wacholz, who restored them to
their anxious parents.
The boys of our school have caught
the marble fever and marbles is now
being played in every available place.
In recent vote of the three upper
rooms, it was decided to lock up the
basket ball until work in the gymna-
SUM is begun.
We were pleased with the music rem
dered last week by Estella Berger and
Alma Peterson, both pupils of room A.
Rooms A and G are proud of their
record of the past month. These are
the only rooms of our building having
no tardy cases.
The entertainment given under the
auspices Of the Ladies Literary club,
assisted by the teachers, was success.
In response to invitations, neatly and
tastefully prepared by the pupils of the
upper grades, over 200 parents of the
school gathered in the tastefully ar
ranged corridors and rooms of the
upper floor. At 7;30 p. IN. the follow
