McMurray last week. Mich Perich and
his brother were cutting single bolts,
and while driving an iron wedge a
small portion of the iron broke off,
striking Mich Perch in the neck, stun
ming him for a minute, then he was
seized with violent fit of coughing
and he spit up the iron, about the size
of a thumb nail through his mouth.
He was taken to Bellingham hospital
and despite the fact that his throat is
cut and that he suffered much from
exposure and loss of blood he is ex-
pected to get we'll again.

Billions of Bees at Work

Three hundred billion bees made
enough honey last year to fill a train
OF cars long enough to reach from
New York to Buffalo. At the low
wholesale rate of 10 cents pound it
was worth SIS, 100000 and if the
100000 bee keepers OF the country
had worked as industriously and skill
fully as did the bees the weight of the
output would have been three times
as great, and the value $4,000, 900.
Not only did the little workers con-
tribute that vast supply Of a pure and
delicious food product to the nation
but as they made it they treated it
antiseptically with formic acid, thus
preventing impurities or decay.
In one year the bee hives sent to
market product worth nearly as much
as the barley crop; three times as
much as the buckwheat crop; $4,000
900 greater than the rye crop and
nearly 100000 greater than the
rice crop. All Of the rice and buck
wheat grown on an aggregated area Of
2,12623 square miles did not reach to
the value of the honey by $151,259.
To appreciate these results one
must necessarily strive also to appre-
ciate the number OF insects at work.
That is rather difficult, for three
hundred billion stretches a long way
beyond intelligent human compre-
hension. The human mind doesn't
work well, in anything automatically
greater than thousands. Technical

A Slight Difference

The difference between an editor
and doctor is that if an editor makes
a mistake he has to apologize for it,
but if doctor makes one he buries it.
If the editor makes one there is law
suit, swearing and a smell of sulphur,
but if the doctor makes one there is
a funeral, cut flowers and the smell OF
varnish. The doctor can use a word
yard long without knowing what it
means, but if the editor uses it he has
to spell it. If the doctor goes to see
another mans wife he charges for the
visit, but if the editor goes to see
another mans wife he gets charge
of buckshot. Any old medical college
can make doctor, but can't make an
editor. He has to be born. When
doctor gets drunk, its case OF over
come by the heat, and if he dies it is
heart failure. When an editor gets
drunk it is a case of too much booze,
and if he dies it is case OF delirium
tremens

A Blast from Merritt
Merritt, Wash, July Is 100

MerIllt, wash, July % Two
To the Editor of the Echo:
Dear Sir:
l see in your worthy paper where
Mr.. H. w. Otis announces himself for
county commissioner for second time.
cannot see why he is looking for the
position again. He did not have time
to attend to the matters of the county
during his last term and I am of the
opinion such would be the case should
he be lucky enough to get reelected.
Now l do not wish to criticize the
actions of any man, especially public
officer. But when that officer fails to
do his duty and sends substitute
in his place with the excuse that he
was too busy to attend, then am of
the opinion that such party should
consider himself too busy to look for
the office.
Now Mr.. Editor one year ago last
May l with pretty much all the people
Of this locality sent petition to the
board of county commissioners pray
ing fot bridge to be put across Mason
creek in the vicinity of Merritt and
in such place as it would be of benefit
to all. Further l offered said Board of
County Commissioners site for said
bridge where it could be elevated from
ten to fifty feet above high water.
Also a right of way through my home
stead and sufficient red fir timber for
abutments and stringers for said bridge.
The board notified me they would
look the site over as early as con-
venient. But when Mr.. Otis should
attend to such matters he either ap-
pointed a substitute or allowed a sub
stitute to take his place. The par
ties who came to locate the bridge
were Mr.. Saunders OF Wenatchee, and
County Engineer Navarro. Now in
place of Mr.. Saunders and Mr. Navarro
coming to consult the petitioners and
look at the site proffered by this writer
they got off the train and went direct
to H. B. Smiths store, and though
F. A. Reynolds and l followed them
in quick haste, both these gentlemen,
together with Mr.. Smith had already
located bridge site, inconyenient to
all but Mr.. Smith. H. B. Smith is
the most westerly property holder in
Chelan county and yet these gentle
men gave him a contract to put
bridge west of his residence and
especially for his own accommodation
and in location which compels all
other parties to go long way around.
If the commissioners had intended to
put two bridges on Mason creek, one
for Mr.. Smiths benefit and one for
the balance of the community, there
would be no cause for complaint, but
when one bridge was intended for the
whole neighborhood it should have
been put where it would be the most
convenient for the greatest number. l
think it is time to make change in
commissioner.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-07-31

The country papers are growing
very rapidly along Ankeny and anti
Ankeny lines and along Jones and anti
Jones lines. AS none of the stuff they
are publishing is marked advertising,
they are either acting very foolish or
are violating the law in regard to
boosting for candidates. If these
papers are not getting paid for boost
ing, we'll and good, if they are, they
should watch out. The fact is, that
with the average country editor it
doesn't make five cents difference
who is the United states senator, and
all the editorial space devoted to the
candidates is so much waste of space
and so much waste of time and talent.
What is the use, brothers, of getting
red headed over the cause of man
who, whether elected or defeated, will
probably never know that you are in
existence. Better be neighborly and
let these fellows fight their own battles.
