True Charity

Every good act is charity. Giving
water to the thirsty is charity. Re-
moving stones and thorns from the road
is charity. Exhorting your fellow men
to virtuous deeds is charity. Smiling
in your brothers. face is charity. Put
ting a wanderer in the right path is
charity. A mans true wealth is the
good he does in this world. When he
dies mortals will ask What property
has he left behind him ?" but angels
will inquire, What good deeds hast
thou sent before thee 2"-Mohammed.

RAILROAD CROSSING SOON
Great Northern Has Finally Consented to
the Construction

The writer was shown letter from
L. c. Gilman, counsel for the railroad
company, this week, in which he stated
that the crossing would be granted.
Himself or some other representative
of the company will be here soon to
take the matter up with the town coun-
ell and decide upon the location, when
the construction will probably begin
shortly afterward.
After having delayed the matter as
long as possible and caused by its utter
indifference to the rights OF the public
enough irritation to last generation,
the Great Northern has finally agreed
to do what it should have done several
years ago.

KRUPP YOUTH ALMOST KILLED
While Under influence of Liquor, Tries to
Make Ills Horse Stand Close to Nov
ING Train.

While horseback riding with party
of friends, during the holidays, Gail
Reynolds, II years old, son of F. c.
Reynolds, the harness dealer of Krupp,
was run over and dangerously hurt by
a west-bound freight train on the
Great Northern. The horse was so
badly hurt that he had to be killed.
One account of the accident is that
young Reynolds was trying to get his
horse accustomed to the trains and rode
him close up to the moving train. The
animal would shy away, but the lad
would bring him back to within short
distance OF the cars. One of the wit
nesses of the accident says that Rey-
nolds had succeeded in getting the
horse very close to the train, the latter
rearing and plunging in terror, when
the latter sank both spurs into the side
of the horse. The frenzied animal saw
daylight between the last and third car
from the end of the train, and made a
plunge to get through. 1t was fatal to
the horse.
Three fingers on the left hand of the
rider were taken off, his left arm was
broken in three places, his head was
badly confused, and his body bruised
all over. Reynolds may not survive. -

A. D. Helms, who owns an eighty
acre apple orchard in the foothills OF
Medford, Oregon, has sold his crop Of
Newtown Pippins for an average OF
$4,000 an acre gross. He has refused
an offer of IS, 900 an acre for his Or
chard. The same conditions apply
right here in the Wenatchee valley,
too, and there are landowners here, ,also,
who would not think OF letting go their
holdings for $4,000 an acre. These,
of course, are the older orchards, and
it is safe to say that all well-planted
and well-selected orchards here will
command just as high prices as the
above in few years in the Wenatchee
valley.-Wenatchee Republic.

Steel for the Wenatchee Valley and North
ern Arrives

Twelve cars of steel and two cars of
angle bars for the Wenatchee Valley &
Northern railway arrived this week, and
were transferred to one Of the mill com
pany's tracks.
The arrival OF this material was long
DELAYED. Had it arrived sixty days
ago, it is quite likely some tracklaying
would have been done. The snowfall
has been so heavy the past three weeks
that it is not probable that tracklaying
will begin before spring.

house at Snohomish, and ordered five
Italian laborers to throw up their hands.
Instead of complying the Italians went
after the holdups, and in jiffy had
them on the floor. pounding them with
clubs, benches, or anything else, till
one had his brains beaten out and the
other had his ear torn nearly off and

Word was received here Monday Of
the death of Mrs. Carl Christianson at
Providence hospital, in Seattle, from
the effects of a surgical operation per
formed upon her. Mrs. Christianson
was we'll known here, her husband
having formerly been with F. A. Lose
kamp, general merchandise, in Leav-
enworth, and, later, serving two terms as
county clerk OF Chelan county. The
lady, it is stated, was taken suddenly
and violently i'll on Monday, and the
physician who was called in diagnosed
her ailment as appendicitis and hurried
her off to the hospital, where an opera
ton was performed looking to the erad-
ication OF that disease. Afterward that
was discovered to have been the wrong
diagnosis, and another operation was
performed for the removal OF gall
stones, which were decided to be the
seat of distress. Unfortunately the
DOOR lady succumbed under the shock
of the double operation, Monday. The
Echo, with their many other friends
here, extend sincere sympathy to the
bereaved family.

A Double Experience Of varieties.

l have always pIactised the intense
variety system Of farming, but the past
two weeks have given me a greater ap-
probation Of the varieties Of the farm,
as have been keeping house alone and
have partaken of the good things at the
tables Of my good neighbors. which
emphasized variety.
The "Pennsylvania Pastry" NEW
York Roast", Boston Of New England
baked beans with Jersey sause. and
not little Of Delaware "hog and hom-
iny," makes variety appeal strongly
to my nature.
1 have always had hopeful desire
for the success Of these good people who
come to Delaware from their various
cith occupations and the long north
ern winters to which they have been
accustomed. In most cases when these
people come to Delaware, if they re-
main a year or two, they make a sue
cess of their undertaking, and prove Of
great benefit to the farming interests Of
this section.
Many Of the older residents are get
ting out Of the old ruts and ways Of
farming, and are beginning to realize
something from their labors. But my
friends, do not think that you know it
all, and that those Delaware.born have
to give you fer many who
seem to know 1t all, return with great
deal less than they came.
am a thankful recipient Of your
kind favors, and wish you not to be
difident in asking that which I can

A Snov Scene.

By Margaret Graham, Houston, Del.
Upon the grass which once was green
Now lies q spotleaH winter scene,
And as the wind is roaring by
IL makes me think that winters nigh.
The raked branches bend with snow,
The trees are BwayiDg too and fro;
While trains which gave Ms such delight,
Were snOWbOund down the road last night.
The school where 1 have always been
Is cold and dreaTy now within;
Because the snow, Il waE so deep,
For children to trudge through with feet.
The gypsies tents are covered with snow,
While they are freezing down below.
Oh! How they think, how nice 'twOuld be,
To have q hOu q so full and free.
Tomorrow II its bright and clear,
Sleigh belle will be q jingling Rear;
And up and down the glittering Streets
The childTen's voices blend so sweet.

Need for a Local hospital.


From a standpoint Of charity, nc
more deserving public utility is greater
needed than local emergency hospital.
Right about Milford many persons who
are sick in homes are continually con.
signed to death, because proper surgical
assistance is too far away from the
patient to stand the strain Of = long
journey to Wilmington, 20 miles away,
or to Philadelphia 100 miles. Salts.
factory surgical cleanliness cannot be
had in the offices Of physicians, or at
the homes Of patients in the offices OF
patients for delicate operations requir-
ing opening the abdominal and thoIacic
cavities, or for trephaning the skull,
etc. Many patients too, who are start
ed on the routes for hospitals, die on
the trains and boats carrying them /;
the motion and jars Of the cOnveyances
often breaking abcess into dangerous
parts OF the anatomy, causing greater
troubles, if not death itself does not en-
sue. A large percentage Of these peO-
pies lives could undoubtedly be saved
by the institution of local hospital.
Many times physicians are called to
give assistance to persons who cannot
be given in their homes the proper nuTs-
ing and attention. To this class a hos.
pital would be Of inestimable benefit.
In conjunction with the hospital
could be run dispensary for the treat
ment Of the poor and needy. A tuber-
culOsis dispensary could also be founded
where properly certified with milk,
eggs, ETC., would be given and sold to
those suffering from the great white
plague, and proper instructions given TO
the hygene, sanitation, etc.. Of those
walking menaces to the public health.
To build and maintain an emergency
hospital, contrary to public option,
would not necessitate the expenditure
of great sum Of money. Considering
the amount Of return we as individuals
would receive when adversitIes in the
shape Of disease or accidents befall us.
Each and every person should be
interested to safeguard his or
her future, by helping financially to
incorporate in our midst such an ur
gently needed institution. Many towns
not as large, DOR so rich, as Milford, are
maintaining well equipped
and we'll run hospitals, with benefit to
heir people and their communities at
arge. Taking the average life as val.
led at 1000, it would not require the
sving Of many lives to balance the
,Ost Of 3 small hospital.
In a hospital many valuable lives
Ould be given better chances Of throw.
ng off their disease. and ultimately Of
their destined share Of the
worlds work.
A hospital would save many cases Of
Uphold fever, and pneumonia, because
fthe nursing and attention they would
et, which is not available in mOst
ZONES.

hospital as would meet the require
