RaiIroads Have Granted Reduced
Rates "a Atlanta for Occasion.

Railroads Have Granted Reduced
Rates 70 Atlanta for Occasion.
Atlanta, Ca Preparations are now
complete iii every particular for the
great Southern Music festival that
~ to be held Hi Atlanta next May,
the 4th. 9Th and 9Th. Contracts have
been signed with Enrico Caruso, the
worlds greatest singer and ten 9TH
er musical artists renowned on both
sides Of the Atlantic. Besides these
there IS the Dresden Philharmonic
orchestra Of Dre5den, Germany, con.
sisting of seventy men and a local
chorus 81 ME hundred voices.
The city's new auditorium in which
the Ave performances Of the festival
will take place, has received its fin
ishing touches This is one Of the
remarkable buildings in all America.
Its seating capacity is little short Of
eight thousand, thus making it the
largest public building iii the south.
Throughout its vast area there is not
q single column to obstruct the view
or hearing. The roof which covers
practically a whole city square is
supported with giant trusses of steel
1t has been lighted with a new de-
sign Of electric burners that diffuse
q radiance more like sunlight than
anything else ever invented. Besides
this the hundreds of different lights
are SO arranged that not one Of them
shines directly in the spt .ators' eyes
or produces anything like a glare
The opening of this building will be
within itself an event of statewide
and sectional importance.
During the festival season Atlanta
will be decked from one end to the
other in flags and bunting. Mer.
chants will put on extra displays and
the whole town will be flooded In a
holiday spirit. There will be FIVE per-
formances. They will take place on
the evenings Of Nay the 4th, 5th and
9Th, and on the afternoons of the
9Th and 9Th. Caruso will sing on the
evening of the 4th and the 9Th.
The fact that the price Of admis-
sion tickets has been placed within
leverybody's reach and that the rail-
roads have granted reduced rates
over wide stretch OF territory prom
ises to bring the biggest gathering Of
southern people yet known.

SULLY'S PLAN IMPRACTICABLE.
Member Cotton Exchange Sees Moth.
inc in Il.

Savannah, Ga.--Statements of local
cotton factors and from reports re-.
ceived from other cities in Georgia.
indicate that the plan Of Daniel ].
Sully to throw a chain of cotton
warehouses across the south capable
of holding one-third Of years cot
ton crop, win be strongly opposed If
1t ever threatens to become fact
and that it win have very slight If
any support at all in this section.
"A member Of Gle Savannah cotton
exchange states that the plan, in the
first place, is impracticahle; that had
the south wanted 1t, the plan of the
Farmers Union would long ago have
secured support, instead of Mr.. Sui.
ly's plan, and that cotton factors see
In it nothing to commend itself to
them or 70 the planters.
He indicated that no Improvement
upon. the present conditions can be
expected fro mthis new course, and
that locally efforts along that line
would meet with probably more than
passive resistance.

DROWNED IN MASON CREEK
Jack Cummings, q Logger, Swept
Down Wednesday Morning.

s. ]. Wilman, who came down
from the mill company's Mason creek
driving camp Wednesday afternoon,
gave the Echo an account of the
drowning of Jack Cummings. He
was employed with the crew of men
who are driving logs for the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co. down the tribu-
taries of the Wenatchee river. The
drowning occurred about 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning, some two miles
below the station of Reynolds. Cum
mings lost his footing in some way
and fell into the water, which is very
high and swift. Not being able to
swim he was carried under by the
swift current. Fellow employees made
a heroic effort to save him, following
the stream for more than two miles,
says Mr.. whitman, and occasionally
getting a glimpse of the body, but
were unable to help him Or recover
the body.
We were unable to get any facts
relating to the unfortunate mans
acknowledgements Echo.

Redfield on Inspection.

Cashmere, Wash, May 25, 1909.
Editor Record: I think you are
mistaken regarding opposition to the
inspection of fruit.
Only the fruit grcwers-some of
the old substantial ones are opposing
the measure.
AS far as l have heard, the grow
ers of grain are totally Indifferent in
the matter. However, If they read
your article in last weeks paper, it
may cause them to sit up and take
notice. They will begin to inquire
what is the matter with us, and Won
der whether we are shysters or lob
sters; whether we are too dishonest
or incompetent to pack and market
our fruit without an officer of the law
standing over us at 81 per to preserve
our reputation and prevent us from
working off lot of wormy apples
on the eastern fruit buyer. Bah!
There is big cry of Wolf! Wolf!
I can see nothing but goose. A
lot of ganders are feeding her apples
while the inspectors stand near her
and gather the golden eggs as fast
as they are laid. Oh, for the pen OF
an artist that I could betray her
gooseship, their gandership and the
inspectorship!
1t would be so realistic that my
friends on the other side of the fence
could not fail to see the point. In
fact, believe 1t would excite the curl
osity of a blind man and perhaps be
the means of restoring his sight.

THE BIG ELECTRIC PLANT
Will Soon Begin to Haul Trains
Through Tunnel-Electric Loco
motives Now at Wellington.

The repairs to the standpipe which
collapsed last February are just
about completed. The four electric
locomotives were last week brought
from Everett to Wellington under
the supervision of w. S. Skinner, who
has had charge of the electrical
equipment of the Great Northern
plant, two miles from Leavenworth.
For the past few weeks the great
dynamos have been running, wearing
the bearings of the machinery smooth
and for the further purpose that the
engineers in charge might take OBJ
servation and make tests Of the power
developed. The power line is COM
pleted and everything is now ready
to make a test run. Just when that
interesting event will take place we
were not told but it will in all prob
ability be next week.-Echo, Leaven-
