Is it Just Right.

ComperS, Mitchell and MORRISON,
have been sentenced to Jail ror
twelve, six and two months res
pectively, for disregarding an in
junction of a federal court restrain
ing them from publishing certain
articles regarding the Buck Stove
and Range Co., of St. Louis.
1t is pretty hard thing for such
emminent men to 60 to Jail and
there is weeping, wailing aud
crashing of teeth in the LABOR camp
on account of it. President Roose-
welt cannot consider a pardon as
long as the case is before the courts,
and it is understood that an~appeal
will be perfected.
If the higher courts affirm the de-
cision there is nothing to do but
suffer the punishment unless the
President pardons the offenders.
The contention of these leaders is
that they have violated no law and
the punishment is unjust. That
they had the right 70 do what they
did under the federal constitution
guaranteeing liberty of speech and
press. But the courts did not look
at it this way. Liberty of speech
and the press is sacred but the
abuse of them in an infringement
on private and public right and
can be prevented by injunction.
Be this~as it may, the sentence
calls to mind one thing. The
leaders mentioned are officers of
labor trust or corporation, and
what they did was in the interest
of that organization just as Rookie
feller is an officer of the Standard
Oil Company when ne violated
the law that subjected his company
to the million dollar fine. But in
the case of the labor leaders, they
were sent to Jail because, as officers.
of their organization, they violated
the law; but when Rockefeller, the
officer of the Standard Oil Com
pany, violated the law, he was not
sent to Jail but his company was
fined instead.
Now, pray, tell US why the dis
elimination?
What does the federal judge mean
by fning the Trust in the one in
stance and sentencing the labor,
leaders in the ofhar,2
Is it because Rockefeller and his
gang have more. money, more pow
er, more political influence than
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison
who represent the toilers for bread
: and meat?
The decision is unfortunate and
will create unrest in the country
and disrespect for the. courts. Of
all the times when it should have
been rendered this is the worst.
The courts are under fire from all
parts of the country and in many
states very little respect is paid
them. The people have little con-
fidence in them because so much
Partially is shown and they prefer
TO take the law in their own hands
than fool with them.
So far as Gompers. Mitchell and
Morrison, as individuals are con-
cerned, they should be punished if
they violated the law; and Rookie
Teller and his crowd should feel the
odor of a prison cell if they have
violated the law, But it is not right
to send the former to Jail and allow
the latter to continue their viola
tons and make their company pay
the penalty.-CIarksdale Register.

REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL
Cement Sidewalk Ordinance and Fire Limits
Discussed

When the town council met in reg
ular session Tuesday night Councilmen
Mccoy and R. T. King were absent.
Councilman Woldenberg made a
verbal report from the Street and Alley
committee regarding the condition Of
road crossing on the w. V. & N. Ry.,
in the east end Of town, stating that
the managers had agreed to put the
crossing in first class condition.
The clerk read a communication
from the Wenatchee council warmly
thanking the Leavenworth fire depart
ment for their proffered assistance at
the recent disastrous fire.
A petition signed by all but two of
the property owners on Front street in
blocks and was presented asking
that an ordinance be passed compell-
ing all property owners in the two
blocks named to build cement side
walks in front of their property, and
also asking the council TO have all
awnings with ground support removed.
After considerable discussion and back
ing and filling the council decided to
accept and adopt the petition. An
ordinance covering the requests con-
tanned in the petition will be presented
at the next regular meeting if the same
is ready to present at that time.
The matter of creating a fire limit
being called to the attention of the
council it was discussed at considerable
length with the result that the ordinance
governing this matter, introduced some
eight months ago and defeated, will
be again brought before the council at
a future meeting.
The following bills were read and
ordered paid: Leavenworth Mercantile
Co., supplies for town hall, $3.50;
Lamb Davis Lumber Co., lumber,
$15.25; Guy Hamilton, June salary,
500; J. Q. Carol, repairing tools,
$3.50; J. E. Gutherless, repairing Jail
floor, S33.75.
When the council adjourned it was
to meet Friday night TO receive and
open bids for the Whitman street i'm
provement.

A Noted Picture at the Exposition

A silent Sermon" was Bishop Pot
ter's comment upon the wonderful
picture, In the Shadow Of the Cross"
that is now on exhibition in the Swed-
ish building at the ka-Yukon-Pacifc
exposition. This Miracle picture
as it is called, has been looked upon
by millions Of people since its owner
decided to send it on tour OF the
country. The revenue derived there
from has been devoted always and only
to charitable purposes; at present in
memory Of the artists mother who was
born in Sweden, the Swedish hospital
and the Swedish Library Of Seattle
share in its benefits.
Henry Hammond Ali, the artist, is
American born. He spent many years
studying the old masters, and painting
in the art centers of the old world. In
1896 he returned to his native land,
opened a studio, and for some time
confined his work to portraits and land
scapes; but later, acting under the
influence OF friends, he turned his
attention to religious subjects. Among
others, he commenced a full length
figure Of Christ.
Ii was the artists purpose TO paint
the Christ-man idealized, but showing
the Man Of Sorrows when He walked
upon earth, the companion OF men.
For a long time the canvas stood
source of vexation and annoyance for
the lack OF the ideal which he seemed
not able to grasp, suddenly it came as
an inspiration. With quick and mas
terly strokes he painted the wonder
full countenance of the Christ, which
now holds such mysterious charm for
all who gaze upon it.

Indications of Activity at BIewett

The Echo had a call one day this
week from Ray P. Davis, recently from
Humbolt county, Nevada, who with
his partner, c. V. Mcdowell have
taken a bond on what is known as the
Blinn property, near Blewett. 1t is the
purpose of Messrs. Davis and Mcdowell
to make a paying mine OF the Blinn
property, and to that end will begin
operations at an early date. The Blinn
property was developed in the eighties,
over $50, 900 being spent on the prop
erty. The death of Col. Blinn in 1885
put stop to work, since which time
il has been tied up in the settlement
Of the estate. The property was
patented in 1884. Mr.. Davis and his
partner have made thoro examination
Of the property and confidently believe
they have something good. In con-
nection with other parties they are
about to close a deal for lease on the
Washington Meteor property.
Mr.. Mcdowell is an experienced
mining man whose operations extend
thruout Colorado, Nevada and Alaska
He knows a mine as a shoemaker
knows his last and it is on his judge
ment that the other parties became
interested in Blewett. Mr.. Davis says
great activity in the Blewett camp may
be looked for in the immediate future.

SURVEYING SOUTH SIDE ROAD
Engineer Berry Pitched Camp Monday
Morning on the Thomas Place

County Engineer Berry came up from
Wenachee Monday with a large sur
veying outfit and at once proceeded to
a camp about two miles east of town
on the Thomas place. He will locate
the road on the south side OF the We
natchee river between this place and
Peshastin for which the commissioners
made provision at the July term of the
court.
The benefit of direct water level
road from here to Peshastin can not be
overestimated. Just how soon work
will begin on the road can not be told
at this time but it will not be very
long.
Commissioner Kinney deserves a
great deal OF credit for getting the
court to see the great importance of
making this road improvement in the
west end OF the county. 1t will be of
great benefit to the growing community
OF Peshastin and the entire Wenatchee
valley. 1t not only shortens the road
some three miles but puts it on better
ground with water level grade.

CHELAN CONSOLIDATED STRIKE
four foot Vein of Rich Ore Encountered
July Ia at Depth of 1900 Feet

F. c. Buckingham, who has the con-
tract to extend the tunnel for the Che
Ian Consolidated Copper Co., returned
from Seattle Wednesday afternoon with
nine experienced miners to take the
place Of some that left the employ OF
the company last week. Mr.. Buck
ingham says a strike was made in the
Chelan tunnel on the 14th of this
month. The tunnel is now 1900 feet
into Red mountain and at a perpendic-
ula depth Of 1900 feet a four-foot
body of ore Of apparently very rich
grade was cut. Some of the ore is
now on exhibition in the mineral de-
partment OF the A.-Y.-P. exposition
and has attracted considerable atten-
ton. A small sample was left at this
Office. Every miner who has seen it
pronounced it very rich in copper,
gold, silver and lead. While this vein
was indicated on the surface no very
great importance was attached TO it.
The ore body for which the tunnel is
being driven lies from 1000 to 1900
feet beyond the recent strike. Should
the main body of ore, which surface
indications show to be some fifty or
more feet in width, prove as valuable
as the vein just encountered the Che
Ian Consolidated Copper Co. will have
one OF the greatest mines in the United
States, if not in the world. The prop
erty was exported two years ago by
some of the most eminent theoretical
and practical mining men in the coun-
try and pronounced worthy Of being
thoroly tested. II is for this reason
that the company is spending money
without stint in driving the test tunnel,
which is large enough for working pur-
poses should the ore prove to be valu-
able. Work in the tunnel is progress
ing night and day. Three eight-hour
shifts being employed.
In conversation with the president
of the company some months since he
said his company was not offering
stock for sale. The owners, who are
principally New York parties, have the
means to make thoro test of the
and if it proves valuable they
have the means to make a mine out
OF it.

Not Much Doing at the State Capitol
Olympia, July %, 1909

Olympia, July %, 1909
Governor Hay says he asked for the
resignation of Highway Commissioner
Snow because the job had got too big
for that gentleman. What Mr.. Snow
says would not look well in print The
fact that the new appointee has been
chief engineer of the commission for
some time indicates that Mr.. Hay has
some notions about technical qualif-
cations, as opposed to the time hon
ored idea Of political fitness. when it
comes to filing appointive Offices.
If Mr.. Schively proposes to make
any answer in the way Of testimony or
anything of that sort when the i'm
peachment trial opens on August II
he is keeping his preparations very
much to himself. So far as appears on
the surface he is relying upon the
prosecution falling of its own weight as
it will, Of course do, if there is short
age of the required % votes.
A feature of the state rock-crushing
plants soon to be inaugurated is shown
in the arrival Of shipment of down-to
the minute guns and revolvers received
at the board of control Office for the
use Of the guards at those camps. 1t
is necessary to guard the convicts at
the pen but especially desirable that
those in charge Of them at the out
side points be in position to see that
they are especially well shot up if they
make break for liberty.
Despite the ambitious advertising of
the Tacoma camp that Governor Hay
was to be one Of big class OF Wood
men Of the World to be initiated in
connection with their "doins'' at the
exposition the executive head of the
state government was very quietly in
itiated as a member of Olympia Camp
