new SCALE

indianapolis. March 20-The nation
lal convention Of United Mine Worker
lof America this afternoon changed th'
lplaee Of its next meeting from ST
Louis to Indianapolis
The scale committee recommended
yearly settlements with the OPERATOR
lby districts. the minimum demand be
ling the present scale and eoEditionl
existing in each district Local dif
ferenees are to be adjusted by dis
trict conferences.
The scale committee in its report
said
in Missouri. Kansas. Arkansas. Ok
slahoma and Texas, comprising what
is kpown as the southwestern field
we have contracts with the operators
| BY which we have agreed to meet
them in joint conference to arrange a
wage scale when the present one ex-
pires a similar condition exists in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Iowa and
Colorado One of the prime reasons
for thes qccess which our organization
has attained is that while we have
.contended for the best possible con
ditions obtainable in making a scale
when once it was agreed to We have
held it inviolable We must not break
these contracts now
For the foregoing reasons we rec
ommend that the following policy be
adopted
TIA districts IA. 21 and 25 con
.stitute the southwestern scale district,
and be instructed to 60 into a joint
conference with the operators of the
district for the purpose Of agreeing
upon scale and working conditions
for the ensuing scale year
THAT the basis upon which such
scale shall be made shall not be less
than the present wage rate.
THAT all internal differences, local
disturbances, and inequalities be refer
red to the southwestern district.
THAT the same conditions be ap-
piled to districts 2, 1S. IS, II, %, and
"a, where Joint conferences are to be
held.
@rhat where contracts are made to
take effect April Or thereafter the
miner shall proceed to work under
such contracts
THAT where contracts have not
been made by April 1, The district OF
districts in conference shall have au
thority to contirue at work, pending
the result Of such conference.
THAT where 80 contract has beer
made by April /, and where no joint
conference is being held at that time
to negotiate a wage scale, a suspension
OF work shall take place until an ag

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-01-24

Articles of wood pulp have considerable
bearing on electrical industries, as in
the case of conduits and insulators in
various forms.
Americans now use wood pulp steam
and water pipes, shoe heels, horseshoes,
spools, tool handles, buttons, pulleys,
paving blocks and cofins. Surgeon
splints made Of wood pulp have many
advantages over those of other material,
in their lightness, strength and aexibil-
ity. Perhaps the most unique use for
paper pulp is for observatory domes.
Here again its lightness, strength and
feMbility commend it and in addition
it has none of the disadvantages which
arise from the use of metallic sub
stances near to sensitized instruments.

University of Washington News

Twenty-three students of the Univer-
sity of Washington, registering from
the home of the big red APPLE" met
in the administration building last week
and organized a Chelan County Club.
Last year an attempt was made to form
the club, but the number of students
did not justify the venture. This year
Wenatchee is represented by fifteen,
Chelan five, Cashmere two, and Lake
side one. The Chelan County Club is
the third of its kind in the university.
The others are the Montana Club with
twenty-seven members and the Tacoma
Club with thirty. Its object is to pro-

Where Old Maids Are Insured

The Maiden Insurance Co. is most
singular institution, and is believed
not to exist outside of Denmark. 1t
is confined to the nobility. AS soon
as female child is born her name is
enrolled on the company's books, and
thereafter a fixed annual amount is
paid to the treasury. When the girl
has reached the age of 21, she is en-
titled to fixed income and to a suite
Of apartments, and this income and
home, both almost princely, are hers
until she either marries or dies. The
society has existed for generation. It
has always prospered. Thanks to it,
poverty-stricken old maids are unknown
among the Denmark nobility.

CONVICTED OF PETTY LARCENY
Joe Williams Fined S35 and Costs in Po-
lice Court Tuesday

Joe Williams is another misguided
mortal that fell down" on the mis-
taken assumption that individuals have
the same rights as corporations. He
looted Calvin Clak's cabin, at Camp
No. 6, AZ miles from town, and, ac-
cording to all accounts, stole every
thing in sight, and a whole raft Of
things that weren't in sight. In the
police court Tuesday he was convicted
of petty larceny, and was sentenced to
pay fine of $35 and costs. The fin
ancial stringency hadn't loosened up
sufficiently as far as Joe was concerned,
and for Is days Joe's mail may be for
warded to the county Jail at Wenat-
chez; with a certainty that somebody
will get it. Deputy Mckenzie took
Mr.. Williams to Wenatchee Tuesday
evening.

ELEVEN WORDS IN HIS NAME
Clinton, Iowa, Young Man is Given Verse
from Bible for Name, When Christened

Clinton, Iowa, has a young business
man who lays claim to the possession
of the longest given name which is to
be found among Iowa's population. 1t
contains eleven words, with a total Of
So letters, and though conferred upon
the young man in baptism, in the
usual manner, it is a name of a char
acter which is rarely found, comprising
a sentence from the scriptures. The
Young mans family name is Lindloff,
and he is the proprietor Of notion
store in Clinton. Here is the name
which was conferred upon him in bap-
tism:
Through Trials and Tribulations
We Shall Enter The Kingdom Of
Heaven"
Should the Clinton young business
man desire to afix his legal signature
to a document, he would abbreviate it
as follows:
T. T. A. T. w. S. E. T. K. o. H.
Lindlof.
However, for the sake of brevity,
Mr.. Lindloff has contracted the long
name which his parents conferred up
on him when he was a babe, and un-
able to defend himself; so he simply
signs the first and last letter of his
name, IT. H. Lindloff," or Thank
Heaven Lindloff, selecting the first and
last words in the sentence which he
must carry with him for name all his
life. His familiar friends have named
him True" for short, and by that
name he is generally known.
Mr.. Lindloff is the son Of an old
time Clinton family. His father was a
justice of the peace Of Clinton county
for many years.

Mr.. EDISON'S CEMENT HOUSE
Great inventor Gives Authentic Informa-
ton on Interesting Subject

To the editor Of the Chicago Trib-
une, Mr.. Edison recently wrote the
following letter. The condition for
building cement houses in Washington
are ideal: I am in receipt of many
letters regarding newspaper articles de-
scribing a cement house which I am
about to erect. The writers of most
of the letters have misread the articles,
and I take this occasion to explain just
what I propose to do.
I now have a model, one-fourth the
size of the house, designed by the
New York architects.
This winter I shall construct the
moulds and devise machinery whereby
a full-sized house can be cast in twelve
hours, after the moulds are in position.
At the end of six days the iron moulds
are removed and the house will be
complete, including stairs, partitions,
mantels, bath, etc., and after drying
six days will probably be ready for oc-
cupancy.
To build this house for $1,000, it is
essential that it be erected on sandy
soils, as the material excavated for the
cellar is all that is required to build the
house, except, of course, the cement.
The cost of the iron moulds will
probably be about SIS, 900, the cost
of the other machinery about SIS, 900.
From this outfit an unlimited number
of houses can be erected.
1t is probable that companies will be
formed which will have several moulds,
each of different design, and will go
actively into business.
l have not gone into this with the
idea of making money from it, and
will be glad to license reputable parties
to make moulds and erect houses,
without any payments on account of
patents. The only restriction is that
the houses be satisfactory to me, and
that they shall use good material. -

Many Useful Things Made of Wood Pulp

More than three and one-half million
tons of wood were made into pulp dur
ing the last year. Most of this was
converted into paper and Of the paper
the greater proportion was used for
printing books and newspapers. The
supremacy of the United States in using
the greatest amount of reading matter
per capita is maintained at the cost of
an enormous drain upon the forests.
Yet besides paper there are num-
Der of other special uses to which the
great quantity Of wood pulp was put.
From pulp factories it went to other
establishments where it was made into
a number of different articles Of very
diverse use. Among these articles is
the water pail made of wood fiber
which is now more familiar sight than
the one made of actual wood. In ad-
dition to pals, wood pulp is used in
our homes in the form Of basins, dishes,
boxes and picture frames. The use OF
wood pulp for car wheels has long been
known, but a new use reported from
Germany is that for telegraph poles.

READ THE ECHO--$1.oo PER YEAR
OUR EXPORTED MANUFACTURES
Report for the Fiscal Year Just Ended
Total Value ,OS5, ,99t,412

In his report for 1907 fiscal year,
Major John M. Carson, chief of the
bureau of manufactures of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, figures
that our exports of manufactures in
that year reached a total value Of ST.
OBS ,991,413, or 55.88 per cent Of the
total exports of merchandise ($1,853,-
-718, ,O34, bureau of statistics figures)
Itemized, the list is: Manufactures
ready for consumption, S475, ,700,679;
foodstufs, wholly or partly manufac-
tured, $345,676,856; manufactures
for further use in manufacturing, $780,
SO, 1878.
The report says: " Foodstuffs wholly
or partly manufactured include wheat
and other hours and meals, and num-
Der Of additional articles that may
properly be termed completed manu-
factures; and this is true in a greater
degree of manufactures for further
use in manufacturing.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
there was an increase Of $4,000, 900
in 1907 over 1906 in our exports Of
" manufactures ready for consumption" B"
In the remaining range of exported
manufactures there was consequently a
total increase of S42,O0O,O00.

COUNTY NEWS ITEMS
The Wenatchee Republic estimates
that not more than fifty cars of fruit
are left in the Wenatchee Valley at
this time.

A Wenatchee dispatch to the
Spokesman-Review says: Marshal
Ferguson has been informed by pro-
prieresses Of the houses in the re-
stricted district that they intend to
leave the city, as the action of Mayor
Gellatley in prohibiting the sale of Ii
quor by the places in that district has
shut off their revenue, and they can
not exist. Some of the saloonmen
have made the complaint that the po-
lice are so strict in maintaining order
and arresting intoxicated persons that
their business has been reduced below
an income. Other saloonmen have ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied with the
effort to make clean city, and will do
all they can to assist.
