The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-12-11

The people who are coming into
the valley now are of a more settled
class. They want places to make
their homes, and consequently it is
going to be hard to buy bearing or
chard at any price before very long.
Now why should a person sell fruit
land that brings him large return and
requires only four or five months work
each year? 1t would be impossible to
find another investment anywhere that
pays so we'll and so surely.
People who are unacquainted with
the possibilities Of land in this locality
will laugh at my assertion on top value
as ridiculous, l know. Particularly is
this true of the eastern farmer whose
notion Of worth is limited to the soils
of his vicinity where from $40 to 500
measures the outside prices for agri-
cultural lands, because they will not
make fair return on a higher valu-
alton"
Mr.. Lake is one of the Oldest resi-
dents of the Wenatchee Valley and he
has seen it grow from almost nothing.
Although engaged in land selling, he
is not a boomer, because he knows
what he is talking about, having OBJ
served the steady growth of the locality
year after year. He is convinced that
before very long all Of the foothills
skirting the Wenatchee Valley will be
planted as far up as it is possible to
pump water. In fact he says that every
foot OF land will be made to produce
fruit and when this comes to pass, he
predicts that the world will see its
richest community in this locality.

WOULD SHOW FARMERS
HOW TO RAISE CROPS
3y Associated Press

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14-Represen-
tative Scott of Kansas, chairman or
the house committee on agriculture,
has conceived a novel plan which, he
believes, if adopted will enable the
farmers of the country to produce bet
ter and far larger crops than hereto
fore.
Mr.. Scott's proposition involves the
establishment of 100 experimental
farms of one acre each in every coun-
ty in a group of four western agricui-
tural states for the purpose of giving
the farmers practical demonstration
of the best methods of growing differ
ent kinds of crops. 1t is proposed that
the lands for this purpose shall be fur
nished by the farmers themselves and
that they do the work of cultivation
under the direction of the experts Of
the department OF agriculture.
No additional appropriation from
congress will be required to test Mr..
Scott's proposition, it is explained. as
the agricultural department now has
the requisite number of experts TO
carry out the plan. Mr. Scott declares
that enough money is now being prac-
tically wasted by the department of
agriculture in sending out farm bulle-
tins and other government documents
TO carry out his scheme.

INSURANCE COMPANY
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-State Attorney
General William S. Jackson announced
today that he had decided to ask for
the appointment of a receiver for the
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance COM
pdny.
The value of certain liens imposed on

OF this alleged deficit 100000 was in
real estate owned by the company and
$S00.000 was in liens against the policies
of the insured. These were claimed by
the officers of the company to be an
asset. but Kelsey would not allow IT.
The company has $1,000 policy hold
ers, some of whom had formed COM
mittee to secure the dissolution of the
company and distribution of it's assets.
superintendent Otto Kelsey of the
state insurance department gave out
tonight the report of the department.

DENVER, Colo. Feb. 1.-THE new
Auditorium in this city which is being
hurried to completion for the meeting
of the national Democratic conven-
tion July Z, is one of the largest
buildings of it's kind in the United
States. 1t is larger than Madison
Square Garden in New York, which
until recently was the most spacious
assembly hall In the country. Madi-
son Square Garden seats 12,137. while
the seating capacity of the Denver
Auditorium is 12.500 This capacity
far surpasses that of the Mormon
tabernacle in Salt Lake. the Cincin-

opera house in New York city, and
the Auditorium or Coliseum in Chi

The Denver Auditorium is admira-
bly, located. being in the center of the
city, and only a few minutes walk
from the Union station, and one block
from the loop, where all the cars in
the city converge.
In the opinion of those who have
made a study of the large assembly
halls of the United States, the ''Hn-
Vi rditorium is the hest equipped
and most complete in its appointment.
The building contains 4.500,000 cubic
feet of space, which will be lighted
by 5000 electric lights. There will be
no arc lights used in the Auditorium
A series of fourteen mammoth "clus-
ter lamps in the ceiling, each having
1880 candle power and made up of six
teen-candle power electric lights, will
provide the principal illumination. One
thousand smaller lights will be placed
in various parts of the vast hall. There
are 200 lineal feet of exits. being great

country. These exits are so distrib-

in it's construction 1t will be seated
with opera chairs and will contain an
immense stage, which will adapt the
building to the purposes of grand

gy Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. 14.-When
the Democratic state convention to
elect delegates at large to the national
convention at Denver resumed today
Evan Evans of Barabee was made per-
manent chairman.
Mr.. Evans made a lengthy speech.
touching on various national issues
and sharply criticising the Republican
party throughout. He concluded by
paying a glowing tribute to William
J.. Bryan, of whom he said:
you see Democracy personlhed, see
Democracy at her best"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Evans
speech the committee on resolutions
presented it's unanimous report. as fol-
lows:
"The Democratic party of Wifcon-
sin reaffirms it's allegiance to the time
honored principles of Jeffersonlan
Democracy and declares its undying
hostility to the sham and hypocricy
of the Republican national administra-
tion.
"It charges that the appalling abuses
disclosed in recent messages of the
president are the direct results of the
long continued reign of the Republican
party. The public can no longer doubt
the inherent pertidy of the system OF
government fostered and maintained by
the Republican party. since the Re-
publican president himself has fur
nished the evidence against IT, Its NAL
efactors, convicted and unconvicted, are
but the shameless products of a sys-
tenn of public plunder and debauchery
too long endured by a patient and suf-
fering people.
I'VE regard with Just pride and ad :
n1iration that typical American, that
matchiess leader who has bla2ed the
way to wholesome public opinion and
&c ably championed the cause of the
people. His zeal and undying energy,
his wise and far-seeing craftsmanship,
stamp him as the greatest living
American statesman and endear him
TO all those who believe in equal rights
to all md special privileges to none.
I'VE therefore declare that we are
unanimously in favor of that great
oommoner, william Jennings Bryan, as
the next Democratic candidate for
president of the United States, and we
hereby instruct our deleagtes to the
national Democratic convention at
Denver to vote for William Jennings
Bryan as the Democratic nominee for
president, first, last and all the time.
Before the business of electing the
four delegates-at-large was reached 1t
was generally conceded that the state
chairman, II. II. Manson, and Con-
gresham Charles II. Weise, would be
chosen. There were half dozen can
didates for the other two places.
Delegates at large from Wisconsin to
the national convention at Denver were
this afternoon elected as follows: c, Fl.

trict, Herbert Manson of Wausa, ]. A

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-The SEN
ate today gave attention to an attack
on the Aldrich currency bill by Sem
ator Clay of Georgia. Mr.. Clays dec
larations in favor of the issuance of
paper money by the government pro-
voked controversy between him and
Republican senators. Senators Lodge
and Teller both gave their views on
the policy of issuing paper money by
the government.
Senator Teller spoke briefly. saying
he wanted to make it clear that the
issuing of money is not banking bust
ness.
'Tt is the exercise of sovereign
power" he said. Where would we
have been today If we had not slipped
in and helped the banks? They were
certainly unable to do business with
out government aid"
E'If," interposed Mr.. Lodge, I'VE had
system like England, France, or,
best OF all, Germany, the banks should
have been able to meet the emer-
gency."
Mr.. Teller said when the gold stan
dard law was enacted in 1900 that was
supposed to be a panacea for all ills.
He said there was no reason why
the government should guarantee the
notes of somebody else. But the the
ory was one thing and the present
necessity was another.
1.-THE bill," he said, 'is an attempt
to provide practical treatment for a
condition that may arise almost any
time"
Progress Made In House
OrGtory in the house today gave
way to legislation with the result that
material progress was made in the
executive, legislative and judicial bill.
The first attack upon the increases
in the salaries of the assistant secre-
taries of several departments which
the bill authorizes, was made by MT.
Macon Of Arkansas, who raised point
of order against the increase for the
assistant secretary of state. Mr.. Ma
con objected to increases in salaries
proposed for other assistant secre-
taries and when the provision affect
ing the treasury department salaries
was read these increases went out on
a point of order raised by him.
The proposed increase In the salary
of the supervising architects of the
treasury was rejected on point OF
order by Mr.. Macon, who objected
also to an amendment by Mr.. Smith
of Arizona proposing independent sal
aries of the territory judges of Ari-
zona- Mr.. Macon then made another
point against the increase of the sal
ary of the assistant secretary of war.
and it was stricken out.
On point of order by Mr.. Mann of
Illinois the appropriation for monthly
pilot chart of the north Pacific ocean
published by the navy was stricken
out. The bill was still under consid-
Grafton, but two-thirds disposed of,
when the house adjourned.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.--Deputy Chief
Charles W. Kruger, known for many
years as "the grand old man" of tho
fire department. lost his life today
while leading his men in a desperate
fight against flames in Canal street.
While working his way cautiously
through a cellar filed with smoke and
gases, Kruger plunged through a trap
door into a sub basement filed with
water. He was dead when taken out,
but in a few minutes that elapsed be-
tween the time he fell and his body was

to save that of their leader.

said one of Kruger's men when the
chiefs body was being carried away.

He was always in the lead. He never
said, Boys, go into that place, or this

Kruger was about 81 years old and
had been member of the department
for thirty-six years. Several years ago
Kruger was acting chief of the depart

was temporarily under suspension.

1t was after the flames In the upper
part of the building had been controlled
that Kruger had taken his men to the
ba sement.
A great pile of excelsior in bales was
blazing furiously, and an attempt to
reach it was the arrangement that had
been unsuccessful. Kruger asked per-
mission of Chief Croker to take his men
through the basement and cut a hole
in the wall to 217, where the fire was

Croker consented, and a moment late

Kruger plunged into the cellar. The
place was filed with smoke and the
deadly fumes of Illuminating gas which
flowed from broken or melted pipes but
the men pressed cautiously forward IN
the darkness. Just in the middle OF
the cellar Kruger stepped on trap
door and plunged into six feet of water
in the sub-basement. Then began a
desperate fight in the gas-filled cellar
to save the chief. He could do little to
help himself, however, and when Bat

delegates and alternates and special
attention will be given to the press
section, which will contain accommo-
dations for more than 500 working
newspaper men. The acoustic proper
ties of the building are such that the
ordinary voice. pitched to the tone
used in public speaking, can be heard
distinctly in all parts of the hall.
The vast building lends its admira-
bility to elaborate decorative schemes
and it is the intention of the man
agement to place the building in gala
attire in July ia honor of the first
convention held within it's walls The
building was projected several years
ago by the city of Denver and is con-
structed at public expense. A great
number of conventions choose Denver
as their meeting place every year,
making it imperative that a spacious
assembly hall be provided for their
reception.
