The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-09-11

Last Monday was labor day, and in
all the cities and many of the towns it
was observed by celebrations of various
kinds. Labor day is getting to be more
and more observed all over the country
as the unions in various trades gain
strength, and there is no doubt that
the time will soon come when it will
be as universally celebrated as are any
of the other holidays. The people OF
Leavenworth were all so busy in every
line that the day was only observed by
little extra labor, giving the name its
literal sense.

THE SUNDAY LID GOES ON
Prosecuting Attorney Grass Notifies Local
Saloon Men to Close Up
on Sunday

For the first time in the history Of
Leavenworth all the saloons in town
were closed last Sunday, as a result of
the agitation which has recently been
carried on here.
After the council had refused, by a
vote of three to two, to have anything
to do with the matter, the citizens
petition was forwarded to Prosecuting
Attorney Grass with the result that Mr..
Grass notified the saloon keepers that
their doors must be closed on Sunday.
The following letter from Mr.. Grass
explains his position in the matter:
Wenatchee, Wash,
August 9th, 1908.
Mr.. ]. G. Debord,
Leavenworth, Wash,
Dear Sir: Your letter of the Goth
inst, requesting me to advise you, as
deputy sheriff, relative to the closing
of the saloons on Sunday, is at hand
and contents noted.
Will say that my position on that
matter now is, as it always has been,
the statute-for the law as written down
is the only thing that the prosecuting
attorney is supposed to or can follow,
and it is the intent of the law now to
be exercised in sensible and fair
manner.
I have always taken the position, and
take it now, that the city government
which creates the saloons should be
made to take care of them because the
county at large has no voice in saying
who shall have saloon or who shall
not, within the limits of an incorpor-
ated town. The county receives none
of the funds or license money, and in
no manner has any voice in granting or
rejecting the saloon license within the
limits OF an incorporated city, and when
the prosecuting attorney prosecutes, all
of the taxpayers both in and out of the
corporation must help pay the expense.
The state law, of course, is greater
than and superior to the laws that ap-
pertain to and govern in certain mat
tiers within incorporation limits, and if
the city officials fail to govern the sa-
looms within the incorporate limits and
permit them to be conducted in a
manner which violates the state law,
any taxpayer or citizen has right to
ask and is entitled to receive the sup
port Of the prosecuting attorneys Office,
and I have been requested by com
mittee of citizens of the town of Leav-

Both bride and groom are well known

friends in extending congratulations
and best wishes to Mr.. and Mrs. Lilli-
gren. May their matrimonial voyage

Fruit growers in Chelan county are
reaping rich harvest for their fruit
this year. Everything points to the
present year being one Of the most
prosperous in her history. The peach
crop is nearly all picked and while the
price has not been high the great in
crease in the crop has placed lots of
money in the fruit growers pockets.
The cantaloupe and the tomato crops
were the most profitable Of the early
products and the prices paid for these
were the highest ever paid before for
like products in the Wenatchee valley.
The apple crop will also be big. The
various fruit growers associations ex-
pect to place the apples in pool at
prices ranging from SIPS to $2.25.

The interesting collection that Miss
Dawson found In America and has an
nexed to her own is that owned by Mrs
Laura B. Starr. who was at one time edi-
tor Of Dorcas. Mrs. Starr travelled about
the world for six years and during that
time gathered most Of her collection,
which at present numbers some 800.

There are all sorts Of Christmas dolls
in the cases. The most interesting are
a beautiful madonna doll and bsnibino

processions at Rome, and several groups
OF the Nativity as arranged in the houses
OF the peasants In Mexico and other coun-

the faces showing certain ideality, while
on the clothes has been expended much
gorgeousness
That beauty is certainly in the eye OF
