HOLM FOR REPRESENTATIVE
r. r. Holm Filed Declaration of Candi-

Editor Leavenworth Echo:
At the solicitation of friends and
business associates, I have decided to
become candidate for the Office Of
representative of the district COM
prising Chelan county, subject to the
will Of the republican voters.
II elected to the position sought, I
shall use all honorable means at my
command to bring about such legis-
lation as my constituency may desire.
At the proper time, in the progress Of
the campaign, I shall endeavor TO fully
particularize and make plain my
position as to the various issues in
which the people of Chelan county
may seem to feel an interest.
While personally favorable to the
candidacy of the Hon. w. L. Jones
for the United States Senate, l shall
feel bound by the decision Of the
majority of the republican voters Of the
county, and will fully and fairly repre-
sent their choice in the matter.

Money in Small Farming

The Arlington Times has a sub
scriber who enjoys the good things Of
this world from the products Of a ten
acre farm. He had no occasion for
noticing the money panic of the COM
mercial centers. His fields remain in
place and are fertile. His hogs con-
tinue to take on flesh and grow into
money. The dairy herd returns cash
every day, and the poulty yard is the
place where musical notes are sounded.
There is an air of independence every
where, for the reason that the man has
a nice home and a big barn, does not
owe cent to his friends or foes and
has a fair bank account. The story of
his success is more than that which
goes with the ordinary man of the
farm.
Six years ago this little farm owner
left shingle mill, where he had been
employed for many months. His
savings amounted to 5000 in cash.
With that capital he purchased 20
acre tract of fertile bottom land. 1t
seemed too large for him, and one
half was given to relative. Then he
began to improve the ten-acre farm.
Today it is highly improved, having a
dwelling house worth $500 barn
costing $500 dollars, and all the nee
essary outbuildings. 1t is all under
cultivation, and brings returns from
potatoes, hogs and dairy cows. Six
COWS have to their credit an income of
$374.24 for the months intervening
between April l and December 81,
1907. 1t is not necessary to say that
this farmer does not buy his chicken
feed by the sack, nor grain for the
stock at the nearest country store. He
raises it.
The farm home is the bone and sinew
OF the country. Mills may close down,
mines suspend operations and smelters
draw their fires, but the tilling of the
soil goes on forever.-Blaine Bee.

Fire Association has just elected Off
GERS at Seattle and begun work for the
year with 5000, 900 acres under its
care. The plans include a system Of
patrol by rangers resembling the work
done by the United States Forest Ser
vice in guarding against and extin-
gushing fires.
Organizations Of similar kind and
for a like purpose are at work in
Oregon and Idaho. In the latter state,
a portion of the expense is borne by
taxation and paid from the state treas
urY. A western railroad company
which holds large tracts Of timber has
taken steps TO guard its property from
fire, and during the short time that its
plans have been in operation, ii has
met with most encouraging success.
Similar work is being done on the
other side Of the continent. Forest
owners in Maine have gone to work in
the same systematic way to control
the forests great enemy, fire. Like
organizations are found in other parts
OF the country, showing how fully it is
now realized that protection against
fire is Of the greatest importance.
It is safe to say that fires in this
country have destroyed more timber
than lumbermen have cut. When
timber was abundant, the waste passed
almost unnoticed, but now that a
scarcity is at hand and an actual wood
famine threatens in the near future,
the owners Of forest lands are waking
up and taking action to save what is
left.

REORGANIzE COMMERCIAL CLUB
Notice of Cali for the Purpose of Reor-
ganiZing the leaVenworth
Commercial Club

At the request OF several men in the
town Of Leayenworth, this notice is be-
ing published. It has been brought
to the attention OF some OF the men
interested in real estate transactions
that one Of the reasons why all of the
persons or nearly all OF the persons
coming into this vicinity stop off at
Wenatchee is that Wenatchee is very
prominently advertised.
The writer has just read a letter from
Mr.. Max Bass Of Chicago, who is gen.
eral immigration agent for the Great
Northern Railway Co., in which letter
he states that he has personally known
OF the advantages in the vicinity Of
Leavenworth, but that the Leaven-
worth people have never taken any
interest in advertising their resources;
but that he would be very glad to CO.
operate with them in advertising this
part Of the country.
1t would be Of great advantage to all
persons having land for sale at Peshas-
tin, Leavenworth and up the Chum-
stick valley as far as Lake Wenatchee,
to take an interest in advertising their
section of the country and there is no
way known to the writer to do that ex-
cept through local Commercial Club.
A meeting will be held at the town
hall in Leayenworth, on Thursday, May
14th, at 8 o'clock p. m. for the pur-
pose Of recognizing the Commercial
Club. All persons interested in the
welfare and advancement OF this Sec
ton Of the country are invited to
attend.
The following have signifed their
intention to be present and join in the
movement:

r. 2. Holm, who has in this issue
Of The Echo his declaration Of candi-
dacy for representative from Chelan
county was a visitor TO our town yester-
day and caller at this Office. The
writer has known Nh. Holm since he
first came TO Wenatchee, from the state
of Oregon. in 1908. He came to
Oregon from Jasper County Illinois, in
1890. Without committing The Echo
to his candidacy at this time, from an
acquaintance extending over five years,
we can truthfully say that he is all that
would be expected of a representative
Of the people of Chelan county in the
state legislature.

In conversation with the writer re-
Gently, Hon. Arthur Gum, senator
from the district composed Of Kittitas

remarked that he would not be a can
didate for reelection. He said that
his business engagements required all
his time. To be just it is not neces-
sary that one should be of the same
political faith. It is only fair to Mr..
Gum to say that he made his influence
felt in legislative body when he be-
longed to hopeless political minority.

There are numerous surmises as

charge it to his getting mixed up
with the troubles at Goldfield,
which he precipitated by going
there and advising the union men
against accepting checks for their
pay, and they say the majority of
the committee has long been at

was deposed.

as it is put to some good use
