Want Some of Our Prosperity.

1t has been tipped off to gentle
man in Leavenworth that certain par
ties in Wenatchee are nursing scheme
to establish another paper in this town.
The wave of prosperity that has hit
this place, the business activity, the
prospects for the future, and, last but
not least, the plethora of money with
which the publisher of this paper is
burdened tit having leaked that the
local bank refused to longer assume
he responsibility of taking care of his
rapidly accommodating funds). All
this has stimulated the cupidity Of
Wenatchee newspaper men and they
want to get in the swim of prosperity.
All right. Come a-running. If you
have any doubt Of the welcome that
will be accorded you by the people of
Leavenworth, put it aside. That other
Wenatchee newspaper man who sent
his bantling here about year ago can
give you some idea of the enthusiasm
with which he was received.
The warmth with which The Echo
will receive you will be like unto that
of the woman who, when her husband
complained about the coffee being
cold, smilingly remarked as she grabb-
ed the rolling pin, Pm make it hot
for you!"

Cement the Future Building Material

The high price of lumber, and the
probability of further increase in the
cost Of this kind of material, together
with the increased cost of labor makes
the building of house to the man Of
average means matter OF no little
consequence: In round numbers, the
cost of building has just about doubl-
ed in the last two years. Two years
ago very neat and comfortable four
or five room cottage could be built for
$500, but when it comes to raising
thousand dollars to pay for practically
the same kind of house the increase
will prevent many a working man from
owning his own home.
In riding from here to Wenatchee
the writer noted a number of buildings
on farms erected in the past eight
months in which the material used was
cement blocks. That cement in one
form or another will come largely into
use as building material in the future
is quite sure. With the increased
production of cement in this state and
its manufacture on a large scale, thus
making it cheaper, on account of its
superior quality as building material
it will certainly be extensively used.
A recent number of the La Conner
Mail contained the following reference
to the progress made in its manufacture:
THE cement factory at Concrete is an
enormous plant. Another plant is be-
ing put in just across the river that
will be fully as large if not larger. The
one now in operation, although situated
in a thickly wooded district, burns oil
instead of wood. The new plant I'M
der construction will be operated by
electricity, getting its power from Bak-
er river" If cement could be deliver
ed at this place at 50, or even $3.50
per barrel, it would replace lumber for
building purposes. Unless, as is quite
probable, the cement makers form a
trust, it will not be long before it is
sold at this price.

Report is current that number OF
Nevada capitalists and promoters have
organized a syndicate for the purpose
of establishing the banana industry in
the country surrounding the great gold
camp at Goldfeld. The idea of the
new company is to use the Joshua
trees, species of cactus which abound
in that vicinity, for the production OF
the fruit. The agricultural and horti-
cultural experts OF the United States
government, as well as those connected
with the leading universities and agri-
cultural colleges Of the country, have
been conducting experiments in graft
ing and the budding of trees for
several years with this in mind. This
science has so far progressed now that
the bananas can be grated upon the
Joshua trees.

Everything Goes Among Bankers

A news item in one of our ex-
changes states that the Los Angeles
banks are engaged in fierce struggle
for the money of depositors, some of
them keeping personal solicitors in the
field much as commercial houses have
drummers, soliciting the deposits of all
classes. Lawyers and doctors have an
ethico-professional code that forbids
advertising beyond the bare mention Of
the name, profession and location.
Trouble would certainly overtake the
doctor or lawyer who advertised on
dead walls or in display type, and the
mention of a personal solicitor in the
field would give lawyer or doctor pro-
fessional shivers.
Everything, however, is fair among
bankers. The latest scheme is that Of
the Bank of Los Angeles. and is caus-
ing no end of comment. This bank
proposes to give to each depositor
opening an account with $500 fifty
cents by way of bonus. Which is to
say, you deposit $500 and your bank
book will be credited with $3.50. The
bank claims to be giving its depositors
the fund set aside for advertising pur-
poses, otherwise advertising the bank
in this way.
All of this has led one of our news
paper friends to scratch his head and
to ask, why are the banks SO anxious
to get the money of the small deposit
tors tied up in their vaults2"

We RAISE SOME FRUIT HERE
Some Fine Specimens Brought in the
Past Week.

Who is not fond of baked apples or
apple pies? If such there be, mark
them well. If nothing more serious is
the matter with them their digestive
organs are out of joint and they are
not good company. A sound, healthy
man will take to apple pies just as
naturally as a duck will take to water
or sparks fly upwards. All this, how
ever, is nothing to the point. We
like apple pies, and for the making of
this delicious culinary accomplishment
we had left at this office the past week
by John Bjork, the finest favored apple
it has ever been our fortune to taste.
The apples were grown on his Eagle
creek ranch, four miles from this place.
The name of the variety he does not
know, unfortunately, as we would like
to recommend it to the good house
wives of this section. Mr.. Bjork says
while his trees grow only half dollars
they grow so many more than the apple
tree about Wenatchee, that he has
every reason to be satisfied with the
returns from his orchard.
To the fruit growing possibilities in
this section we are always glad to add
our testimony. This week there was
left at this office by ]. B. Hathaway
who lives on the hill overlooking the
town on the south, on what is known
as the Sam Ellinger place, samples of
Italian prunes and Bartlett pears. The
pear trees are too heavily loaded to
bear fruit of large size though the flavor
is excellent. The prunes are large,
though Mr.. Hathaway says he gathered
over ten bushels from one tree, which
seems to indicate that in this section
prune trees can not be overloaded so
as to affect the size. For apples,
pears, cherries, plums and berries of
all sorts this section is not excelled in
the state of Washington and as soon
as this fact becomes known land values
will double and treble in this locality.
Commissioner Otis was in town on
Tuesday of the past week with load
OF peaches from his place, which is
about two and half or three miles
east of Leavenworth, as the crow flies.
The variety of peaches are what is
known as the late Crawford, which
grows in this locality in great perfec-
ton and of the best flavor. They
looked to US like large peaches, but
that peach growers may get the correct
idea of their size, we will state that
box left at this office, such as are used
for packing this class of fruit, contained
Sc peaches and was quite well filled.
We make mention of these matters for
the reason that it is said, by those who
do not know, that peaches cannot be
successfully and proftably grown in
this vicinity. Some forty boxes of the
fruit are on sale at the stores and sur
pass anything that has been shipped
here this year.
This has been rather cool summer,
one not best calculated to bring out
and ripen tomatoes in the greatest per-
lection, altho ]. H. Sharp, successful
and prosperous fruit and vegetable
grower in the Eagle Creek community,
has made commendable success with
tomatoes this year. We were shown
tomatoes grown on his place last Satur-
day that would compare favorably with
the best tomatoes grown in the lower
valley, which is famous for its fine
tomatoes.
