Where Will You Spend the Fourth:

Before another issue of this paper
reaches its patrons the citizens of
Leavenworth in common with those
of every city and town of this broad
land will have fully recovered from
celebrating the nations birthday
Provided, they have celebrated in a
rational and well ordered manner
There will be some who will arise
the morning after the Fourth with
that dark brown taste and thump-
ing headache which is a sure indica-
ton of a too frequent indulgence in
that which cheers some men and in
ebriates all of them. The other fell
low, he who takes a day off and goes
to the woods with his family, will be
ready to take up the burden of his
daily life with renewed energy.
There will be nothing doing in
this town. Those who want to be in
a noisy crowd and have a big time
will have to go away from home.
Last year LeavenwOrth had a cele-
bration and Wenatchee had none.
An enterprising editor of that town
then advised it's readers to go any
where to spend the Fourth and even
intimated that to go to hell would
be better than to go to Leavenworth.
We have waited very patiently to
get even with our brother. Wenat-
chez has made preparation for a
monster celebration and will have
the eloquent congressman from Yak
ina, Mr.. Jones, to make the princi-
pal grafton. To all our people who
have the inclination and enjoy being
in crowd and like noisy demon
stration, We say, by all means go to
Wenatchee next Thursday.-Leaven
worth Echo.

Washington experiment station. The
experiment station has heretofore
been under the dictatorship of Presi-
dent e. A. Bryan, and the change
was due to the fact that the rapid
increase of the work of the expert
ment station during the past few
years has made 1t necessary that one
man should give undivided atten-
ton to this department.
Professor Thatcher came to the
state college Ave years ago, as as
sistant station chemist. In 1904 he
was made station chemist and in
1906 was made associate professor
of chemistry. During his stay at the
college he has done considerable
farmers institute work, which has
taken him to many different parts
of the state and in this way famili-
arized him with. the conditions in
Washington which are to be met by
the experiment station. He has
made a chemical analysis of the soil
of every county in Washington.
This study of soils has been made
with regard to chemical compost
ton, physical characteristics and
fertilizer requirements.
In cooperation with Prof. c. v.
Piper, Mr. Thatcher made an investi-
cation of the sulphur lime wash for
the San Jose scale several years ago,
in which they determined that salt
could be left out of the wash en-
tirely; also that the quantity of lime
then being used in the wash could
be cut down. In an investigation of
egg preservatives Professor Thatch-
er has shown that the solution Of
sodium salicate will preserve eggs
from four to six months. This
method is novs being used quite
widely throughout the United States.

raphs can be found at BiXler's studio.

stealing parties go far afield, trusr
ing that In a couple of years, by
which time they will neel an outlet
for their products. the railway will
reach them. Often this faith is JUS
fed, but sometimes the railway is
very long in coming. The person
coming to western Canada with q
view to securing free land from the
government ought to recognize that
this involves going twenty, thirty
or even forty miles from existing
railways, with inevitable pioneering
hardships.
Mr. DafOe is newspaper man of
over 20 years experience in western
Canada and his paper is the chief
organ of the Canadian government
in that section of the dominion. 1t
would naturally be very far from his
intention to prejudicially misrepre-
sent conditions and check immigra-
ton, but candor compelS him to
make known this one disadvantage
which homesteaders must face.
What he says about the distance of
available homesteads from railway
communication is worthy of serious
consideration. Farmers who are

The Civil War
J At a Glance.

By WALTON WILLIAMS.


greatest conflict at arms in the
history Of the human race. The
American Revolutionary war,
which lasted nearly twice as long, was
series Of mere skirmishes compared
with the struggle of the early sixties.
Battles were fought during the civil
war, now known only to the mustiest
of historians or to local tradition or
recollection, which exceeded N the
forces engaged and surpassed in the
carnage resulting soIae of the most I'M
portant actions during the struggle for
independence. The number of battles
fought greatly exceeded the number
incident to any single European war
The firing line was thousand miles
long. Nearly 100000 r.en were en-
gagged More than 100000 men We're
killed in action or died from wounds
or disease. In practically every re-
spect the war of 1856! so was the big
eest and bloodiest of all time.
This stupendo,.s struggle embraced
so many qualifications of incident that
4 complete history Of the whole is ut
terly impossible. Historians have been
able only to hit the high spots for
want of space and lack Of time and
endurance to sift and chronicle all the
interesting facts.
We do not know even how many bat
ties were fought. This can be only ap-
proximated. In the governments
Chronological List Of Battles" the
number exceeds 1900. But the bureau
of pensions has an alphabetical list Of
engagements including skirrishes and
such other minor actions as were deem
ed sufficiently important to note. This
list contains more than $500 engage
mentS.
About 100000 Union soldiers were
enlisted during the war. The Confed-
crate records are very incomplete.
many of them having been lost Or de-
stroyed. 1t is estimated that the num-
bers engaged on that side of the con-
fiict were not far short of 100000 men.
These figures do not include the con-
siderable numbers of irregular COM
batants on each side, many OF whom
were not officially enrolled.
War department records show $780,
52S deaths from all causes in the I'm
ion armies. during the war. In proper
ton to strength of forces engaged the
Confederate losses We're equally Sc
vere In the absence Of definite records
any estimate, however. must be mere
guess. In the Union armies GLOSS
men were killed i'll battle, 1902 died
Of wounds received in action, and 224,
$50 died of disease incident to service.
OF those killed in battle Alp were
commissioned officers. The number of
Union men who died while prisoners
of war was 29,49S. United States mil
itary authorities executed 267 men and
would have executed many more but
for the humane Intervention Of Abra
ham Lincoln. The Confederates exc
cuted four officers and sixty men Of
the Union forces.
1t is a most remarkable fact that in
the four years of this mighty conflict
only one man was executed for "pOlit-
icaP reasons by Union general. In
New Orleans a man named Mumford
pulled down flag of the United States
after the city had been captured, but
before it was occupied by the Federal
forces. General Benjamin F. Butler.

force, caused Mumford to be banged.

FINANCIAL. FACTOR. IN. MAR
RAGE

Believing that the most frequent
cause of unhappy married lives is
poverty, the young women of several
towns in Indiana are forming what
they call Young Ladies Protective
societies." the members of which
propose to know just how they stand
into matrimony. They have decided
to refuse the entreaties of any and
all young men for their hands who
cannot furnish a commercial rating.
Cupid is to have no encouragement
unless backed up by at least $4,000
and life insurance policy.
Possibly these young women take
themselves quite seriously lin this
plan,and in a general way their
idea is good one, yet if money and
not love were made the basis of all
marriages there would likely be just
as much unhappiness as now in mar
ried life, and probably a good deal
more. While many young people
foolishly enter into matrimony with
out present means or future pros
poets and speedily find that poverty
is a breeder of discomfort and I'M
happiness, the experience of many
others has shown that in taking up
the struggle of life together they
have acted wisely.
Poverty should not constitute a
ban on marriage when the man and
woman are of the right stamp. En-
ergy and thrift, coupled with mu-
tual helpfulness and encouragement
will overcome the initial handicap
of poverty, produce an income and
maintain happiness in the home.
There would be great increase in
the number of old maids and bache-
lors if all young women insisted on
the $4,000 requirement.

self would derive the chief benefit
from a district exhibit. Good re-
suits would certainly accrue from
the publicity thus to be obtained.
Heretofore there have been individ-
ual exhibits of agricultural products
and minerals which have won prizes
and which have materially helped to
give the outside public some idea OF
what can be produced in that north
ern portion of the state. The dis
plays have been meritorious and in
every way deserving of the attention
they have drawn. But more COM
plete justice can be done by a gene

ent than any made at previous fairs.
Mineral. timber, grazing and ag-
ricultural lands are found in the Ok

upon any one product, but upon
many. 1t has varied and ample
sources of wealth, much yet await

returns to the energetic and enter
prising worker. Under favorable
cultivation the soil is arabic and
generously productive. Hardly more
than a beginning has yet been made
on the mineral areas, but the output
has given most promising assurances
of what is to be expected. Capital
is rapidly recognizing the opportuni
ties which the country presents.

Canadian Homesteads Isolated
Americans who may be thinking
of going to the Canadian northwest
to take up farms under the free
homestead laws of that country
would do well to make themselves
thoroughly acquainted with what
they may have to put up with for
some years to come in regard to To-
cation. In an article on the re-
sources and possibilities of western
Canada in the June Review of Re-
views, John w. Dafoe, editor of the
Winnipeg Free Press, sets forth in a
clear and entertaining manner the
strides that are being made in his
country in population and general
development, but he also sounds this
note of warning:
Many people come to western
Canada under misapprehension as
to the facilities for homesteading,
and in consequence suffer severe dis
appointment. The demonstrating
army always keeps in advance Of
railway construction. and it is there
fore quite impossible to Mcclure %
homestead within short distance
