A good deal Of interest was
created in the superior court this
week when II. A. Reams was
summoned to show cause why he
should not be held in contempt
for failure to settle a case tried
at a former court. There was
some misunderstanding and the
matter was settled satisfactory
tU the court.

The City Campaign Begun.

From now until the election in
May city affairs relative to mayor
for the next two years and alder
men, will be hard fought.
From the way it now looks
there will be two tickets in the
field and the issue will be wheth.
er the old board, which is the
present board of aldermen will
remain in or shall a new set be
elected.
To the end of nominating q
new crowd primaries for each
ward have been held, or the cal
is out for such now, and men are
being nominated that have moi
served on the present board.
That the old board, or a goot
number of them may be re-elect
ed a mass meeting has beer
called to meet at the court
house for tonight, when a full
ticket for aldermen and mayo
will be nominated. The idea be
ing that a ticket should be nomi
mated by a general meeting o
citizens rather than by each war
nominating its own aldermen.
Until the day of election Their
will be much work done b.
friends of the candidates tina
will be nominated by these meet
ings.

TiIIman and the Negro

The recent visit of Senator Tillman
to our state and the delivery of his
now famous lecture on the negro
question has stirred up long string
of newspaper comments.
We have SO far RETAINED from taking
any part in the Tillman controversy or
expressing an opinion Of him or his
methods.
Mr.. Tillman we will dismiss by say
ing we do not admire his style, though
with his conclusion about the negro we
agree in the main.
Whether from reading the book or
seeing Uncle Toms Cabin" on the
stage the maudlin sentiment in regard
to the negro race is created in the
Northern States, is all one and the
same. A sentiment does exist and it
is not justified and is invariably knock
ed out of every northern man and
woman after a years residence among
the negroes in the Southern states.
The man who can not tolerate an In
dian, will express tender solicitude for
the poor, down trodden mistreated
negro. If this same man knew the
negro half as well as he knows the
Indian he would prefer the proximity
of the latter.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER is, 1907.
This is an Eight Page Town

We have always tried, in the past,
to keep The Echo fully up with the
growth and development Of the town
OF Leavenworth. The Echo was es-
tablished in January 1904 as a five
column, all home print paper. In
April 1905 it was enlarged to six
column home print newspaper. Since
then the town has grown and the Echo
proposes to keep pace with the growth
by charging to an eight page, all
printed at home newspaper after jan
uary /, 1908.
Papers all over the state, indeed, all
over the United States, no larger than
the Echo at present, have announced
an advance in the subscription price
from $1.00 to $3.50 and in some in
stances to $500 per year, to cover the
tremendous increase in the cost OF
producing a paper. While the Echo
will be doubled in size and the expense
of getting it out will be easily doubled
the subscription price will be increased
to only $3.50 per year. An advance
was justified by the conditions even
though the paper remained the same
size, but after mature deliberation we
decided not to increase the price be-
yond what is indicated above.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1907-10-18

Some three weeks ago the people of
Chelan, being tired of the miserable
telephone service rendered by the
Pacific States Telephone Co., unani-
mously resolved to discontinue their
patronage. The Leader of last week
stated that a local company has been
formed composed Of the people Of the
town.
The very unsatisfactory telephone
service rendered by the same COM
pany to the people of this town has
long been just cause for complaint.
The people here are not only compelI-
ed to put up with a service covering
some ten hours out of twenty-four but
the service is often interrupted for
periods of from a few days to three
weeks. The service charge is $3.50
per month for ten hours, or the same
rate that is charged for day and night
service elsewhere, but because OF the
poor service all but some fifteen phones
have been discontinued.
