The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-01-10

Congressman Willett, of New York,
in speech-in the house, on Monday,
made fierce attack on the president,
charging him with being directly re-
sponsible for the October panic. He
said the president had no sense, and
what the country wanted was a man
with the influence of the same men
behind. Mr.. Willett no doubt consid-
ers Hartman, Rockefeller, and the
whole long list of coruptionists as en-
inently sane, wise and pure. He is
one OF those men who would punish a
hungry man for stealing loaf Of bread,
and glorify Hartman for stealing a
railroad. 1t is to stop the mouths Of
Willetts and Days that we would prefer
to see Roosevelt nominated, and to
convince them that the mass of the
people approve of and would like to
see the present policy continued.

Congressman Jones has written to
parties in Wenatchee that he favors
the establishment of the eleven-pound
parcels post, as recommended by Post
master-General Meyer. He had pre-
viously declared himself in favor of the
postal savings bank. Some weeks ago
we urged all our readers who agreed
with us about these two measures to
write brief letters to w. L. Jones, M.
c., Washington, D. c., saying they
favored the parcels post and postal saw
ings bank. We are quite sure that the
majority of voters are in favor of these
two measures and if they have acted on
their belief, Mr.. Jones should have had
at least fifty personal letters from this
place.

The celebration which was to have
come off in Wenatchee on January a,
in honor Of the completion Of the Co
slumbia river bridge, has been indefin-
itely postponed. The unusual and
heavy fall of snow has delayed the
completion of the bridge. The peo-
pie OF Waterville are to join in the
celebration. An event so important as
the opening of the first wagon bridge
ever built on this river deserves to be
fittingly recognized. 1t marks a peri
cd in the development of the country
and is lasting monument to the en-
terprise and liberality of the people Of
Wenatchee, who donated $4,000 to
the enterprise.

The new definition of Prosperity is :
" To permit the great corporations and
all those who believe in the divinity of
wealth to go unpublished for acts that
send the balance of mankind to the

play the skin game on the confding

Of a pin. The reel shaft is divided into
two separate drums by means OF two

of collars partitions off a section Of the
drum on which the hose is adapted to
be wound up, while the other section
is adapted to receive a cable.
It will be observed that the hose and
cable are wound in opposite directions
respectively, SO that when the hose is
unreeled the cable will be wound up.
Consequently when it is desired to reel

WONDERS OF OZONE.
New Gas Is the Greatest Purifying
Agent In Existence.


To the scientific marvel mysteries Of
this age must be added ozone 1t has
been found that the greatest purifying
agent in existence is contained in this
new gas that is generated by electrici-
ty from the free air around US. Tests
have been made of water treated by
ozone with the following somewhat as
tonishing results:
A sample Of water polluted to the
extent of 10000 bacteria, including
disease germs, after being treated
with ozone was found to contain only
sixteen bacteria.
Another test in which a sample OF
water was shown to contain 100000
bacteria resulted in the destruction of
all the bacteria after ozonization. OF
six tests made, Of which the average
bacteria in the original water was
shown to be $50, 100, the average after
ozonization was only twenty-five. In
the commercial world 1t Is used for
bleaching and refining mineral oils, for
bone, feathers and various other things.
In the manufacture of starch ozone has
been utilized for bleaching purposes.
1t has been found possible to use 1t to
harden and ripen the kind Of wood
that Is used in musical instruments.
