tered the first grade Monday.
Raw Shiftlett is a new conner in the
second grade.
Roscoe Howerton, Ethel Schons, Carl
Albright, and Ruth and Marion Ouren
entered Mrs. FarrelPs room this week.
This makes her total enrolment Oh.
This is clearly too many for one teacher
to teach successfully. Plans are now
being made whereby this congested
condition will be at least partially re-
moved.
Ernest Ouren, Martha Kringle, and
Roy Albright entered the fourth room
this week. Ellis Wetstein, Edward
DeFoe and Olive Brown withdrew be-
cause their parents have removed from
Leavenworth.
Vacation all of next week fol
the children. The cause of the vacation
is the Chelan County Teachers In
stitute that is held at Wenatchee Octo-
Der 81 to 25 inclusive. The teachers
are all required to attend.
We hope to occupy the new build
ing when school convenes again after
the vacation. The County Superin'
tendent recently stated that our new
school building was one of the best in
Chelan county.
The piano proposition has been dis
cussed pretty thoroughly since last
week and we are of the opinion that il
is an assured thing. All, who have
I expressed themselves in regard to q
new piano for the school, have been
heartily in favor of it.
The reception given by the ladies
of the town in the new school last Fri
day evening was a success in every
way. If any one who was not present
is in doubt, ask some one who was il
attendance.

The Wenatchee World mistook a
knock on the head of the editor for a
knock no the town. The Wenatchee
readers of The Echo saw the point
even if it escaped the editor.

Killed at Merritt Sunday Night

A man by the name of Ross was run
over and killed at Merit last Sunday

with two others he was beating his way

Hall is the father of Robert Hall who
it will be remembered lost his life here
last winter while employed in the
Lamb Davis Lumber Cos power house.

$1,164.95

The Thomas claim was rejected by
the Council and suit is now pending
against the town on same. City hall
extras and the cost of the hose house
on the north side of the track are es-
timated, but is not believed they are
far out OF the way,
Dividing the expenditures and out
standing obligations from the money
received and there is left in the City
treasury $166.31. Or to put the
matter in different form the corpor-
alton cost the people of Leavenworth
for one year the snug sum of IS, 332.01.
Deducting the real estate and fire ap-
paratus which cost $3.50 and the net
cost of the corporation was "a, 582.01.
Against this the town has lot that
cost 5000, town hall that was to cost
$3.50, but will in the end cost several
hundred more and fire apparatus worth
$1,000. The sidewalks were paid for
by the property owners, while the
water for fire protection is paid for by
special tax levy.

RECEPTION AT SCHOOL HOUSE
An Unusually Large Number of Patrons
Attended the Reception at the
New School House last
Friday Night

The apparent interest taken by the
the people of Leavenworth in the new
public school house and the promotion
of the welfare of the school must have
been very gratifying to Professor Wolf
and the new corps of teachers, and
doubly so to the ladies who got up the
reception, or house warming, as We
have heretofore called the affair.
The crowd gathered early and was
large considering the difficulty those
that live on the south side of the track
had in getting there. A thorough in
spection of the building seemed to be
on the mind of every one present and
crowds were constantly going from one
room to another. The expressions of
entire satisfaction with the building
were heard on every side. After the
building was viewed to the satisfaction
of everyone, Professor Wolfe called the
crowd into one of the rooms where
Miss Cecil Brown rendered some
music on the piano, after which brief
remarks were made by L. ]. Nelson,
H. E. Carr, G. w. Hathaway, D. H.
Magyar and County School Superinten-
dent Bowersox.
Light refreshments were served by
the ladies in the school principals
room.
Leavenworth has good reason to be
proud of her new public school house
which Mr.. Bowersox pronounced one
of the best, and best arranged buildings
in the entire county.
1t is the purpose to occupy the new
building after the close Of this weeks
school. All the schools in the County
will be closed next week while the
teachers attend the County institute
which meets in Wenatchee this year.

Interference With the Direct Primary
Law Is Not Wanted.

At meeting OF the Salem grange

law was brought up for consideration
and after thorough discussion of
the subject the following resolution
was adopted:
Whereas there is bill now pend
ing before the legislature to so amend
the direct primary law, enacted by
the people of the state, as to make
ineffective that part Of said law, which
confers on the people the right to sig
nifty by their votes, their choice of
U. S. Senators and also to so amend
said law as to allow political parties
to suggest or nominate by conventions
the candidates to be voted for at the
primary and thereby again establish
the party machines: and.
Whereas, We, the Patrons of Hus-
bandry are in favor of the direct pri-
mary law, and believe its enforcement
has helped to purify political methods
In this state and nominate better men
for office than were formerly pre-
sented by the party conventions and
ring systems; therefore be It
Resolved by Salem Grange, That
we protest against any change in the
present direct primary law that shall
in any way lessen its efficiency in re-
lation to the matters above set forth;

STEVE ADAMS TRIAL.
Charged That Sheriff is Biased Against
Defendant.

The presence in Pendleton of a
number of witnesses in the Steve
Adams case, which is now being tried
in Wallace, Idaho, adds a local inter-
est to the case. Very little progress
has yet been made. the entire week
having been consumed in securing n
jury. The following dispatch from
Wallace gives the details of the case
as far as it has proceeded to date
At the close of the second day of
the trial of Steve Adams for the mur-
der of Fred Tyler in 1904 "a tales
men had been examined. exhausting
the panel and the court had ordered
the summoning of new venire.
Eleven jurors remained In the jury
box and the defense still retains the
right to four peremptory challenges
and the state one.
When the court ordered a new ven-
Ter Attorney E. F. Richardson, coun-
sci for the defense, made an affida-
Wit that the sheriff is biased, and
asked that a special commission be
appointed to summon the venire. In
his affidavit it is alleged that Angus
Sutherland, whose term as sheriff ex-
pired last month, was made sheriff
IN 1899 during the labor troubles by
the Mineowners' association, and that
as sheriff he cannot serve two con-
secutive terms. The present sheriff,
William Bailey, was nominated with
the understanding that Sutherland
should still be in complete control
under the direction of the corporation
hostile to the Western Federation of
Miners.
Sutherland is alleged to have re-
ferred to all members of the Western
Federation of Miners as OUTLAWS,
thugs and dynamiters," and 1t Is his
purpose to run "every dynamiter out
Of the country" A night session Is
being held to argue this matter.
When court opened Attorney Knight
placed President Hendrickson, of the
Mullan, Idaho. Miners union, upon
the stand to furnish proof that the
Miners Federation had raised large
sums of money to defend the pris-
oner.
Hendrickson said the different
Miners unions had raised the money,
both by per capita and by subscrip-
tion. to send to the headquarters of
the Western Federation of Miners at
Denver, and that he has an idea for
what the money was to be used.

Jok over the list of the well

HOUSE Of SHERMAN, CLAY & CO.,
and see how many other pianos made
in the United States are cheap at any
price. Read the list carefully: Stein
way, Knabe, A. 3. Chase, Hardman,
Everett, Emerson, Ludwig, Estey,
Vose, Packard, Fischer, Kingsbery,
Haller Stoe and large number of
others, and when 1t is known that
these little houses cannot buy these
pianos at any price and that they are
sold all over the United States at ONE
PRICE, freight added, you will know
you can't make a mistake in selecting
one handled by the house Of Sherman,
Clay & Co. buying, as they do, three
times as many instruments as all the
other houses on the coast combined,
they get the lowest price that a good
piano can be made for. Sherman,
