NJ. E. Church Notes

The Easter exercises were carried
out as planned. At the morning ser
vice the program Of songs and recita-
tions by the children were well rem
dered. The duet by Mesdames Mar
tell and Burgess was well received.
The solos by Mrs. Van De Grit, both
at the morning and evening service,
were splendidly rendered. We extend
our thanks to these three ladies, the
children, and all others who helped to
make this a memorable occasion.
Next Sunday is the anniversary of
our Sunday school. The first year has
proved a very profitable one. Starting
a year ago with a dozen or so we now
have an enrolment Of more than eighty
and an attendance of about sixty. A
very efficient corp Of teachers has
made this possible. We are making a
strong effort to increase the attendance
to IS. If you have any children who
are not attending any other Sunday
school we would be glad to have you
send them to Fraternal hall at 10
o'clock. We will make them welcome.
We also want to organize a mems
Bible class, to which we invite all mer
interested in Bible study.
At the service next Sunday morning
the Odd Fellows are to attend in {
body as it is the anniversary OF thei
order. With the kind permission o
the trustees of the Congregations
church this service will be held il
their house OF worship.
The Easter social given by the La
dies Aid was a splendid success.

IF HIS BROTHER is ELECTED
Viii Retire from Practise Says Fred Reeves
of Wenatchee

A recent communication from Fred
Reeves to the Echo, which bears upon
the judgeship, says:
Wenatchee, April II, 1908
Editor Leavenworth Echo:
Dear Sir request you to kindly
publish the following statement in your
paper:
1t is written in the books defining
legal ethics that there is nothing to
prevent an attorney from practising
law in a court over which his brother
or near kinsman presides, though such
conduct is usually and rightfully
condemned. The objection, if any,
can only rest upon that natural bias of
feeling and sympathy which judge is
supposed to entertain toward his
brother, or other near kinsman, who
may have charge Of a cause in his
court-an interest which he is not
supposed to have toward the opposite
counsel who is not so related to him.
The books furnish many examples
of high minded lawyers who have re-
fused to appear in the capacity Of
attorney or counselor in a court over
which a near kinsman presided. This
principal meets with my unqualified
approval. Any other position would
be awkward for the court, unpleasant
for attorneys, and unfair to Itigants.
Believing as I do, and for the rea-
sons above stated, I make the follow
ing statement at this time:
! In the event that my brother and
business partner, Mr.. Frank Reeves, is
elected Judge Of the superior court Of
the state of Washington, in and for
Chelan county, I will not, under any
circumstances, appear in said court in
the capacity of attorney or counselor,
at any time he is presiding over said
court as Judge.
D In the event OF his election, as
stated in the preceding paragraph, l
will retire absolutely from the practise
of law in Chelan county, reserving,
however the right to complete any
unfinished business that he is dis
qualified to hear as Judge.
FRED REEVES.

Leavenworth Odd Fellows Visit Cashmere

On Tuesday last a party Of some
twenty people Of this place, members
of the Rebekah lodge, visited the Cash
mere lodge. They were met at the
station and escorted TO the Odd Fellows
hall which was nicely decorated for the
occasion. Dinner was served at 6
o'clock to large crowd and was GER
tainly all that could be desired. After
dinner a candidate was initiated in the
Rebekah degree, the work being per-
formed with a nicely seldom equalled,
and which can only be done by those
who have spent a great amount of
time in studying the work. We think
that there are few lodges in the country
where everything is SO nicely done as
in the one at Cashmere, and believe
that it is excelled by none in the state.
1t was a meeting where all must feel
that they are bettered by attending,
and great credit should be given the
ladies who by their untiring efforts have
made this lodge what it is, and we are
sure that the Leavenworth people who
attended can only say words Of praise
for them. All join in saying that our
hope is that the day may not be far
distant when our lodge may be able to
reciprocate. We cannot expect to be
able to do as we'll as those people for
some time to come, but if all will
do their best there is no reason why in
a reasonable time we cannot have a
good lodge here. And as to the Cash
mere people, our best wishes are with
them and their kindness will long be
remembered. M. F. Peake.

BIG PRICE FOR WINTER APPLES
Do Not Pack Apples For Cold Storage Says
Wenatchee Grower

The following from The Republic Of
last week gives the experience OF a
Wenatchee grower, and as the apple
question will be a live issue with many
Of our readers, we give them the ben
eft Of an apple growers experience:
S. w. Phillips last fall experimental
with a car Of apples which he put in
cold storage at the Wenatchee Canning
company. Ordinarily it has been the
practice to pack the apples for ship
ment when they are put in cold stor-
age, but Mr.. Phillips did not con-
slider that the proper way and simply
put the apples in the boxes loose with
out any attempt at packing them.
Last week when he got ready to ship
them to Seattle he packed them nicely
and sent them to the Sound. There
were about 800 boxes in the car and
+. w. Arnold received word from Mr..
Phillips this morning that the apples
had arrived in Seattle all right and were
being unloaded. The commission
man to whom they were sold says that
this shipment was the finest, soundest
and best car Of apples that he had re-
ceived in Seattle this winter or spring.
The Winesaps brought him $3.50. per
box, the Black Bens $3.50, the Ben
Davis $1.25 to $50 and the Arkansas
Blacks from $2.25 to $3.50
Mr.. Phillips attributes his success
in keeping the apples in cold storage
to the fact that the apples were in per-
feet shape when put in cold storage.
They were not bruised in packing
and there was no tight lid on the box
to pack the apples down. He believes
that the loose pack is the proper sys-
TEN for cold storage apples here"

Raise the Interest On Savings Deposits

At meeting OF the stockholders
Of the Tumwater Savings Bank held
last week it was decided to increase
the interest on savings deposits from
three to four percent. What will be
additionally gratifying to depositors Of
this bank is the fact that the increase
goes back four months and begins from
January lst. This is a new and sub
stantial way Of showing depositors OF
the bank that their patronage is ap-
preciated.
