The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-11-27

That the state will derive much good
from the forest conservation congress
held last Friday and Saturday at Seattle
under the auspices of the Washington
Forestry Association, goes without say
ing. The prominence of the men
forming the assemblage, and the many
sections of the state represented pro-
claim the great and growing interest in
the future preservation of our forests
and insures action by the legislature
wherever the present laws are lax.
The conservation movement, forestry
education, logged-off lands, President
Roosevelt S Congress Of Governors, what
the Legislature can do and almost every
phase of forest conservation sentiment,
was ably advocated by some one of the
many able men present.
In the afternoon Of. Saturday the
members visited the exposition grounds
and in the evening banqueted at the
Washington Annex.

SEATTLE NEWS ITEM S

No doubt exists that the A-Y-P ex-
position will be ready well in advance
of the date set for it, June LIST, and in
that it will be unique in the history Of
World Expositions. The executive
officers and the heads of different de-
partments give every assurance that
the fair is not to be delayed. As the
days go by and the time draws nearer,
new interest is being awakened in the
exposition, and a greater enthusiasm
manifested. Everybody is waking up
to the fact that it is going to be great
big exposition and that the time for it
is almost here. More than 100000
letters are being sent away every week
by residents to their friends in the east
with some particulars about the expo
sition. Officers of the exposition say
that there was never before such a
general interest over the exposition
among Seattle people as there is today.
The same is true of residents of the
state generally and also of the state
press which is teeming with exposition
news.
The present activity at the grounds
is a great big show in itself. Progress
all along the line is exceptionally good
and there is no drag anywhere. The
great buildings not already fully com
pleted are taking shape as fast as
mechanics can work, and the grounds
are being brought into condition mag
ically. The aboreal and landscape
features will be everything demanded
of them and in good season.

In speaking of the dry method Of
farming, H. H. Parsons of Upper An
tome said to the Chelan Leader last
week: On June 1st he planted field
in corn. Part Of it he narrowed twice
and plowed three times. 1t produced
corn that averaged 40 bushels to the
acre. The other part he plowed but
once and didn't harrow at all, and il
didn't average more than Is bushels
an acre. Which to his mind explodes
the idea that it doesn't pay to cultivate
corn thoroughly in dry weather"

share Of the proceeds was heavy. Re-
Gently he had an offer of $4,000 for

he has, almost, he made the deal. Mr..
Erickson sold his interest in the horse

Chance.

By LESTER ROSE.

Jean Griffith looked about her curl
ously. The street was'at once familiar
and strange, like an old friend encoun-
tered after years of separation. Five
years had passed since Jeans father
had moved out west-tive years of min
gled pain and pleasure-and this was
her first return visit.
She was stopping at a downtown ho-
tel and had come uptown to call on
some of the girls she knew to be still
living in the old neighborhood.
The altered aspect Of the street re-
minded her that she. too, had changed.
One learns much in i've years.
She had been glad to leave the city
FIVE years before. At eighteen she had
just broken her engagement with Tom
Fleming and had felt that every one in
their set was talking about 1t. 1t had
been an absurd quarrel. She had want
ed to live in the city, and Tom had set
his heart upon the purchase of little
home In the country.
They had been walking down that
very street one afternoon. and she had
insisted upon inspecting the apart
ments in a house just being completed.
Tom had protested that 1t was useless
to look at fats when they wanted a
country home. and though Jean had
her way, Tom had grumbled all the
time they were being shown through
the rooms.
AS they had stood on the steps after
the caretaker had left them Jean had
declared her intention Of living in one
Of the corner apartments. and Tom had
turned stIfly away with the decIara-
ton that 1t was apparent they never
could agree.
With her head held high. she had
watched him go down the street. but
when he had turned the corner she had
hurried home to wash out in tears her
pain and indignation.
A few weeks later she had moved
away, and Tom. his anger slowly cool
ing, had found out too late what that
going meant to him He had written,

den and the scent OF growing things
and newly turned earth.
Few people were abroad. for the rain
had driven most of them to cover, 80
these two had the street pretty we'll to
themselves. Tom chatted of the people
she had known. and Jean was so inter
ested that before she realized II they
were in front of the apartment house
on the steps Of which they had theil
first and last quarrel. She half stopped
as she recognized the place. and Tom
feeling the pressure on his arm came
to a halt.
Maybe they have not rented the
apartment yet" he declared. with q
whimsical smile as he pointed to
sign beside the door announcing thai
there were four and five room apart
ments to let. with steam heat and hot
water Lets drop in and see If they
have"
For an instant lean halted: then she
yielded to the whim and followed Tom
up the steps The janitor made bis
appearance and in answer TO Toms
questions declared that there were sew
eral empty apartments.
"Thprr'S one on the second. two on
the third and one on the fifth" he said
With the unenthuSiastic manner OF
jantors he rapidly enumerated the
good points of the apartments in me-
chanical fashion. but Tom checked
him.
I'VE know all about the place." he
said 1--WE Just wanted to see that it

broken through the western sky and

THAT is the sign of peace" remind
ed Tom, lust as that 10 Let was
good omen. Will you forgive my bad
temper and forget the last five years?
Believe me, have been sufficiently
punished. You said that 1t was here
that you wished to start housekeep-
ing"
II think am still Of the same opin-
ion," confessed the girl shyly. Some
how this new Tom, with his gentle
ways. was far more attractive than the
imperious Tom Fleming of five years
before.
DO you know" she went on. that
when | got off the car couple Of
hours ago it was like stepping into the
past and taking up life where left it
five years back? OF course lots of
things have changed. but it all seems
SO good. It's like coming back from

at home again"
"And this is goiAg to be home to

get the five years and pretend we
haven't gone downstairs that first time
yet"
NO" Jean shook her head with en-
ergy. I'VE will profit by experience
and not quarrel this time"
Quarrel echoed Tom. II should
say not. Once is more than enough
for me. Fate has given me another
chance, but there never would be a
third. I've got you, dear, and I'm go

Secretary Root left Washing
ton on Saturday for his home at
Clinton, N. Y, to join the men,
bers of his family who left some
time ago. 1t was rumored that
the Secretary was gong again to
Muldoon's place, near White
Plains, N. Y, to take a course of
physical training, but this has
been denied recently at the Sec
retary's office.
Mrs. Taft was quite the hap
piest woman in Washington on
the day of her husbands nomi-
nation, though she was composed.
She said they had made no plans
to get away from Washington any
particular day and while they had
expected for some time to go to
| Cincinnati in July she did not
know the exact date of their de-
parture.
That a change has taken place
| in the official status of Secretary
Taft is plainly indicated to all in
Washington by the appearance
of blue-coated policeman who

rectly in front of the Taft resi-

but his letter was half apologetic, still
half defiant in tone, so Jean had not
answered. He had not written again.
Jean found none of the girls at home,
and with hurried step she started for
the avenue where the cars ran. A
cloud of ominous blackness was form
ing, and the wind blew down the side
streets in cold gusts that threatened
an immediate precipitation.
She was within block of the car
line when the storm broke, and she
huddled under the nearest awning. 1t
was the only shelter in sight, and since
it shielded the windows of a saloon
she could not enter the place.
The fury of the storm was soon
spent, but in place of the terrific down
pour a gentle rain fell, and since there
was a suggestion of clear weather
Jean waited in the hope that she
might not have to ruin her new hat.
AS she stood thus her heart gave a
great leap, for coming down the street
his head bent, was Tom Fleming. Not
until he was almost opposite her did
he see her. Then he halted, with q
look of glad surprise in his face.
II did not know that you were In
town. he cried as he advanced with
outstretched hand.

planned. 81 came up to see some oi
the girls, but could find no one a

they were going down the street in tn
old familiar way. To her surprise
Jean found it very pleasant to be un

1t seemed impossible that FIVE year
had passed since they had walked un

ed her so quietly and had accepted he
presence so much as matter of cours
that she forgot all that had happene,
in the interval.

Good He Didn't Accapt,

During the second Dreyfus court
martial NJ. Quesnay de Beaurepaire.
ex-president of the civil section of the
cour de cessation, who was bitter
against the accused captain, received
very polite letter dated from the Cha
teau de Prefargier, near Neuchatel, in
Switzerland, and signed "A de Prefar-
gier," praising him for his efforts in
the Dreyfus case and inviting him to
come and stay at the writer's resi-
dence.
NJ. de Beaurepaire replied in his usu-
al fowery style, saying he would con-
tinue the struggle as long as he had
strength and that he would remain at
the breach like valiant soldier to set
an example of duty even should he
stand alone. He did not positively de-
cline the invitation, holding out hopes
that some day he might be free to ac-
cept it.

natic asylum for Neuchatel.
