California in 1892. Three years later

Adams & Carr have been associated
together in the business Of handling
Leavenworth real estate for the past
year, and in that, as we'll as In the
sale of ranch, farm and other lands,

7. II. Darling, Rancher

Everyone in Leavenworth knows
Tom" Darling of the Chumstick
valley region, where he conducts a
ranch in partnership with his father-in-
law, Chas. Albright. Mr.. Darling
was born in Eudora, Kan, in 1876;
lived for IL years in Lawrence, Kan,
and has been in this section about four
years; married, his wife being Miss
Lille Albright of Eudora, Kan. They
have one little girl, 6 years Of age.
Mr.. Darling is gentleman of excep-
tionally high ideals and more than
ordinarily strong conception of his in
dividual duty to God and to his fellow
man. Though the ranch held by Al
bright & Darling is very fine and
profitable one, Mr.. Darling intends to
dispose of his interest therein some
time during the coming year, when he
proposes to devote the remainder Of
his life to the uplifting and betterment
of fallen man and fallen woman. No
one who knows Mr.. Darling doubts for
an instant his absolute sincerity and
his intense longing for the time to
come when he may devote his entire
time and energy to his undeniably
lofty and ennobling purpose. Christ
has been calling, calling, calling, ten
derby and entreatingly down the corri-
doris of Time for nineteen hundred
years for just such men as Tom Oar
ling to become fishers of men"
Many are called and few are chosen"
and if the teachings of the humble
Gallilean of nineteen hundred years
ago seem not to have met with the
worldwide embrace and the eager &C
ceptance due, who shall doubt that
it was because all of those called had
not answered in their hearts with the
same cry of self-abnegation and sacri-
fee and love for humanity that ascends
increasingly from the heart of Tom
Darling. Mr.. Darling may not pros
per according to an earthly standard, as
we'll in his chosen work as in some
money-accumulating vocation, but, if
Christ's promise means anything, 1t
means for him glorious credit at the
heavenly bank.

ington eleven years ago, from the state
of Colorado, and two years later came
to Leavenworth. He has general
charge of the extensive market bust
ness of Emil Frank, where he has

ton to all his many customers. If a
popular vote were taken he could win
his place against all corners and never
break a walk.

THERE ARE MILLIONS IN IT
The Opening of the Lake WenatChee and
White River Valley Country, With Lea
VenwOrth as the Logical South
ern Gateway

Nowhere in the west is opportunity
so ripe, and profitable results SO abb
solutely sure for the investment of cap
ital as in and about Leavenworth. A
brief consideration of the Improvements
assured and of the topography OF the
neighborhood affected is bound to
convince even the ltra-conservative
investor of this fact.
In the first place, the railroad con-
templated and contracted for that will
tap the Lake Wenatchee country and
the fertile valleys directly contiguous,
constituting as it will the key to the
only possible southern gateway for the
future commerce of those localities, is
bound to rebound in no small degree
to the future welfare of Leavenworth.
Lake Wenatchee has ideal advan-
tages to offer in many of the con-
ditions that make for the establishment
of pleasing and attractive summer
resort and the foundation of a colony
of delightful summer homes. The lake
is approachable from every direction is
7x31a miles in area, and, with its feed
ers the White and the Little Wenat-
chez rivers, which enter at the north
western corner, constitutes a fisher
mans paradise that leaves nothing to
be desired by the devotees of that
sport.
AS to the agricultural possibilities OF
the situation: Directly outlying the
lake is about 1000 acres Of the finest
arabic land to be found in the state OF
Washington, or any other western state,
for that matter. In the White river
valley are thousands of acres OF land.
which put in cultivation, would compare
favorably in fertility with even that OF
the famed valley of the Nile, and this
assertion is made in all calmness and is
susceptible of proof The Little We
natchee valley though not so, extern
sive in arabic land, is but awaiting de-
velopment to contribute measurable
quota of prosperity to Leavenworth and
the country at large. A railroad, as is
assured, tapping the Lake Wenatchee
country, and the Little Wenatchee,
White river valley and the various fer
tile valleys tributary there to, will mean
prosperity for the settlers, prosperity
for Leavenworth, and prosperity and
profit for investors interested.
Contract has already been let for
twenty-five miles OF railroad to the foot
of the lake. Eight miles of the road
but awaits the laying of rails, (which will
be accomplished Immediately spring
weather admits; the telephone poles
are already up and continuation and
completion of the road but awaits the
clement weather of spring and summer.

Nick KinCherf

Mr.. Kincherf is not now engaged
in any occupation, having disposed of
his dairy business. He is one of the
men who has an abiding faith in the
future of Leavenworth. About a year
ago he sold small tract of orchard
land on the north side for $4,000,
and can afford to take it easy until
something shows up to his liking.

LEAVENW ORTIZ
Its Advantages, Possibilities, I'm.
prOyementS, Progress
and Promise

Of all the towns in the coast coun-
try that bid for their share. of the life
giving eastern and other immigration,
none can, perhaps, at the present time,
more consistently repeat an uncurtailed
resume of the manifold advantages it
offers to the prospective settler than
can our own town of Leavenworth.
Primarily, the financial cataclysm
which has flooded the country from
center to circumference happily has
had less effect in disturbing the bust
ness and unsettling the condition Of
trade in Leavenworth than in any other
town OF any size in the whole north
western country.
The Echo must not be misunder-
stood as claiming that not even the
spray of the country's cataclysmical
financial experience, has reached Leav-
enworth-no city or town in the coun-
ty can claim that truthfully-but what
it does insist, without fear of success
full contradiction, is that its effects were
less perceptible and less disturbing
than in all this section,

apples and its superior adaptability for
diversified horticulture and agriculture.
Leavenworth is, one of the most i'm
portant division points on the Great
Northern system, giving employment
to never less than. 800 and sometimes
400. men. On account of the railway
improvements going on the. past year,

year to complete, the latter number is
more nearly correct. NV

Wheat was extremely nervous alb day, Dull
