The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-11-19

Harry krollpfelfter returned nom the
Chelan Consolidated mining camp
Tuesday evening and reports several
feet of snow in the Red Mountain re-
gion. He says the tunnel has been
driven almost 100 feet. He left yes
terday for Index, Wash, where he will
superintend assessment work on the
North Star property, owned by the
Chelan Consolidated. He will return
in ten days or two weeks and go up to
the camp for the winter.
City Marshal Teshera went out gun
ming one day the first OF this week and
brought down two deer, large buck
and doe. The scene of his hunting
exploit was about five miles up the
Chumstick, near Matt Sunitsch's place.
Joe is either very lucky or very
skillful hunter. He rarely goes out
and comes back empty handed. II you
don't think venison roast is toothsome
the next time you see deer kill 1t
and roast about four ribs and you'll be
convinced.
The national apple show at Spokane
was opened in blaze Of glory Monday.
President Taft, in the White House at
Washington, touched an electric button
which set wheels buzzing in Spokane.
There are / Il million apples on exhi-
bition, under tent covering three acres,
the largest ever erected anywhere. The
largest apple weighs Al ounces; meas
ures 1718 inches circumference, and was
grown on the premises OF F. L. Post &
Sons of Chelan. 1t is called the Spo-
kan Beauty.
1t is seldom, indeed, one hears of
corporation voluntarily reducing es-
tablished selling rates. But here is a
case that should be commended 10 the
Tumwater Light and Water Company
The Wenatchee Electric Company an
nounces a reduction in rates Of IS per
cent. This company is under heavy
expense for boilers and fuel that does
not enter into the cost of production OF
the local company. One dollar per
month is now the minimum rate for
residence lights in Wenatchee, and all
renewals Of globes are free. The new
rate takes effect December l.
Tom L. Curtis, who left here last
summer for Seattle, writes that he left
Portland, Ore, for Los Angeles, CAL,
on Tuesday of this week. He said he
was hunting sunshine. We have fiat
tered ourselves that the Wenatchee
valley was pretty well known for its
apples, but Mr.. Curtis says not over
twenty people he met ever heard OF it,
and that when he told them that 800
cars OF apples were shipped from the
valley in 1908 they opened their eyes
with establishment. What would they
have said if Mr.. Curtis had told them
that over 1900 cars were shipped from
the valley in 1908, not counting the
local shipments?
Justice of the Peace Geo. P. Rice
made an order OF court that Peter N.
Nelson furnish a bond of $1,000 for
his appearance as witness in the
superior court in the case of ]. G.
Fritz VS.. Henry Miller, colored, for as
sault. Nelson, being not well known
here, was unable to furnish bond. AS
an alternative, as permitted by law,
Nelson's deposition was taken in JUS
tice Rice's office Wednesday night.
The state was represented by Prose
cutting Attorney Fred Kemp. ]. G.
Fritz and his attorney, L. J. Nelson,
P. N. Nelson and Stenographer Begg
of Wenatchee were also present. This
deposition may be used on the trial Of
Mr.. Fritz at the next jury term of the
superior court in January, and serves
to give Nelson his liberty, instead OF
being held in Jail as witness if he
cannot give bond.
