Letter from Peshastin

Peshastin is waking up 10 her oppor-
tunities this spring and a wonderful
amount Of hitherto dormant energy is
being manifested.
The iron is fast being put in place
on the new bridge.
Life on al sides is being shown and
cultivation Of the soil is going on every
where. Laboring men are coming n
daily, but still there is need Of more
help.
Land is rapidly changing hands and
constantly increasing in value, which
indicates that our population will soon
be double what ii is al present.
The Peshastin Land Co. has been
recognized and the ownership passed
from the Lamb Davis firm to Peshastin
people. NJ. 2. Gilbert is president
and y. d. Reeves secretary. ABOUT
one-fourth of the property has already
been sold at prices ranging from three
to FIVE hundred dollars per acre.
Improvement of all kinds have been
started. A new hotel is planned and
arrangements are being made for new
four-room school house south Of the
railroad track, while a church and par
sonage are in prospect.
Nj. Jones, who has Just finished an
Office building for the Peshastin Land
Co., has commenced work on fine
residence for himself near the river.
Others will follow in the near future.
Just watch Peshastin grow! Better
still, get in and grow with it. Prices
will never be lower. A Peshastinite.

c. II. Mason returned last Monday
from the Sound where he spent the
winter. He says he will now be better
satisfied to endure the ills and discom-
forts Of life in Leavenworth, rather
than fee TO those on the Puget Sound.
He says he thought the snow here in
the winter was the cause of some dis
comfort but when compared TO the
gloomy, foggy winters on the Sound
with not a ray Of sunshine for weeks
he will now be contented to put up
with the snow which is at least made
tolerable by an occasional day Of bright
sunshine. Mrs. Mason is expected to
arrive any day, says Mr.. Mason. Her
health has been much improved by
the change Of air and climate.

Ratio and Progression

Andrew Pears recent death recalls
the efficacy Of advertising. He was a
Cornishman by birth and owned a
small shop in London, making toilet
soap on a small scale. Of course his
soap had merit, and judicious adyertis-
ing called attention TO it. Who has
not read Of Pears Soap" would have
a hard time convincing the public that
he could read plain English. Since the
beginning Of its manufacture SIS, 00o,-
600 has been spent in advertising the
merits Of Pears Soap" and yet the
manufacturers laid by the snug sum Of

An Entirely New Enterprise

The location Of 4 large hot house

tables, viii quite likely come as 4 sur
prise TO some people. The inteTo-
CATION that viii suggest itself 10 those
who have given the matter little
thought viii likely be, Why locate
such an enterprise at Leayenworth. "
The answer IS, cheap heat and power.
We are fortunate In having adjacent 10
this place some Of the finest power
sites to be found II the state that Is
famous for fine water power sites. The
building Of the Great Northern cleo
tic power plant two miles from Leav-
enworth, costing well above the nil
lion dollar mark, now practically COM
pleted, did some good that the thought
less were not aware Of. II has been
widely written and read about, and no
doubt caught the eye Of others who
have in mind the development Of
electricity by water power.
ItrequiIes, in round numbers, $500
worth Of coal every year TO heat a hot
house covering Al acre Of ground.
This does not take into account the
cost Of feeding the coal into furnaces.
The coal cost Of heating ten acre
hot house, such as is contemplated,
would be $3.50 per year. This is
the interest al sd on $500, 900. The
excellent water power site selected
viii reduce the cost Of an electric
plant to heat ten acres Of green house
to 500, 900 or less. Still figuring the
interest at SD this makes the heating
charge IS, 900 per year instead Of s25-
900. In FIVE years the saving in fuel
will pay for the electric plant.
Messrs. Holmes and Barland located
their new industry al Leavenworth be-
cause they could get cheap power and
heat. For this same reason other in
dustries viii in time be located here.
cheap power. is the manufac-
tuning desideratum Of the age. The
town that is so fortunate as TO have
cheap power to offer the manufacturer
has only to wait until this fact becomes
known. Leavenworth is thus fortu-
nately situated. Within ten miles OF
this town ii is possible to develop in
the neighborhood of fifty thousand
horse power and after the water has
been used TO develop electricity il can
still be used to irrigate and make fruit
ful our thousands OF acres Of undeyel-
oped fruit land.
It is not unreasonable to predict
that in ten years Leayenworth will be
a busy manufacturing town with ten or
fifteen thousand inhabitants.
Leavenworth now has monthly
pail roll Of from thirty thousand dollars
during the four winter months, to fifty
thousand during the balance OF the
year. The new industry will add at
least two thousand FIVE hundred dollars
per month to this amount the year
round.
Leayenworth has no slogan. Il does
not need one. AS the town with a
future" it is forging ahead every year.
Since The Echo was established, FIVE
years ago, il has more than trebled in
population, and only begun to grow.
The green house enterprise will
shortly be followed by Others. Marx

A Sad Defeat

Last Sundays ball game between
the first and second teams resulted in a
victory for the latter by a score OF ! to

general opinion was that the first team
should make better showing than il
did. However the boys have been
turning out 10 practice regularly and
hope TO have a better team in the
future. The second team has devel-
oped a good bunch Of players and are
out looking for games.

Did you ever notice that the sue
cessful man rarely takes the time to
give unsolicited advice about how TO
succeed? Did you ever notice, too,
how much advice the world gets from
men who never owned 50 much as an
humble cabin that they could call their
own? I have seen griny handed
son OF the soil working over a sick
horse receive gratuituous advice, about
how to cure the beast, from a half dog
en- snug individuals who never 50
much as owned a halter. II some IN
fortunate person, with lot Of energy
and some judgment, makes a failure,
the man who feeds of the earnings Of
his wife's washing is ready to tell him
Just why he failed. He never failed at
anything in his life but to provide sup
port for his wife and family. What he
does not know about how to succeed
was wiped of the slate when he was
born.
When Andrew Pears learned he had
a good thing in Pears Soap" his Cor
nish wit told him that all that lay be-
tween him and success was publicity.
He must convey the information TO the
discriminating soap buyers that he had
the best soap. This he did by judicious
advertising. Not necessarily always
newspaper advertising. There are
other ways, equally efhcacious. Then
he learned that by spending ten dollars
in advertising that he got his ten dol
lars back and one dollar in addition.
Then by little mental calculation in
ratio and progression he made out that
by spending one thousand dollars in
advertising he would have an add
tional profit Of one hundred dollars.
This was the plan upon which the
great Pears Soap business was founded.
When the advertising expense reached
a hundred thousand dollars year the
extra OF additional profit was ten thous-
and year. If he had listened TO the
wise guy he would have lived and died
a small shopkeeper.
Years ago the promoters Of St. ia
cob's Oil entered upon an extensive
and expensive campaign Of advertising
the merits Of St. Jacobs Oil, and built
up a great and profitable business.
Then a wise guy got into control
and cut out the advertising. Reason
ing that the $780, 900 a year spent in
might Just as well be saved
and added TO the profit. Then fool
ish fellow came along and advertised
better than St. Jacobs Oil
with a persistency that won the bust
ness. The public always wants the
best and is convinced by constant and
persistent assertion.
The moral to this story is, if you
have something that the public needs
do not advertise it or your rest will be
disturbed in supplying the demand.
