democrat in the north. He was the
leader OF the copperheads. He was the
only man whom President Lincoln ban
ishcd for opposition to his policy.
Until 1870 he looked hopelessly dead from
political standpoint, but then he began
directing attention to new issues that
had arisen with the ending of the war,
and called on the people to get together
and take the big forward step necessary
to wipe out the memories and bitterness
OF the fnternecine conflict.
In June, 1871, 1t was certainty that
at the next democratic convention
Vallandigham must be the leading fig
ure. and with his admitted ability and
proved courage he might even have been
the nominee, but on the 18th OF June,

landigham shot himself, and died at the
age OF fifty-one.
The career Of William Russell Of Mas
sachusetts Is well remembered.
He was almost an infant phenomenon
in politics. He was first chosen mayor
OF Boston at the age Of twenty-eight.
and was promptly returned for q sec
ond term. He was only thirty-two when
he was chosen Governor of Massachu-
sets. Altogether he had five terms In
Massachusetts they elect every year.
His thin. smooth. almost colorless face.
sensitive IN expression, but filled with in
tellect and energy, made him liked every
where. and democracy looked to him as
chance to make the running for tho
White House. and probably get there.
He opposed free silver, but even tho
advocates of that policy never learned
to dislike young Russell because of his
opposition. and when the time for heal
ing of the wounds came II is probable
that he would have been foremost in aid
ing his party to a hopeful fight against
the republicans.
But In 1896 from a remote camp in
Nova Scotia came news Of his sudden
death. He was then only forty years
old, and had he lived would today still
be younger than most Of the present-day
leaders.
The career Of Robert f. Pattison was
somewhat similar. When only twenty
seven years old he was elected controller
Of the republican city OF Philadelphia.
and twice he was elected Governor of the
hide bound republican state Of Pennsyi-
vania. The nation looked with interest to
the possibilities OF this TALL handsome
and magnetic man, but he died before
reaching the age OF fifty.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-12-24

The Lafean bill, now pending in
congress, says that the inside measure
of an apple box such as is in use by
apple raisers in the Northwest, shall be
11x1115x18H inches, being half an
inch longer and half an inch higher
than the standard box now in use in
this country. The cubic capacity of
the new box exceeds that of the old
one by 1o5 cubic inches.
This increase in apples and dollars
and cents means, first, an increase in
cost of the box of from to cents
each; second, more apples to fill the
box, amounting to from 10 to 20 cents,
yes, often so cents each; third, higher
cost of packing; fourth, a decrease in
the number of boxes to the carload.
The fruit growers generally object
to this increase in size, and are taking
steps to see that the present box is re-
tanned as the standard.

seatue's Growth of Forty Years

On Dec. 3, 1869, the city of Seattle
was incorporated by act Of the legisla-
tive assembly OF the territory OF Wash
ington. At that time the entire popu-
lation of Seattle was less than 1000
people, all told, for the census taken
the following year disclosed a popula-
ton of 1877. 1t was an isolated coun-
try village. There was not a direct
steamship connecting it with the out
side world. .There-was not a railroad
in the state. There was but one man
ufacturing industry in the city, small
sawmill. Seattle had no trade save
with the farming country Immediately
adjacent to it and with a few logging
camps at different parts Of the Sound.
Yet confidence that here was the foun-
dation of great city was so high that
the people Of this little village incor-
porated as city, with all of the powers
Of municipality of the first class, and
set about making a city. And a city
has been built here with a record
unique in more than one direction. No
other city ever grew to the present size
of Seattle from 1000 inhabitants within
the short period of 40 years. In no
city is it the case that practically every
great industry, every great commercial
house, and almost every great financial
institution, had its growth from the
humblest of humble beginnings. Out
side aid or outside capital had very
little to do with the growth of Seattle.
1t was settled by men absolutely desti-
tute of means; it was built up by draw
ing to it other men with no capital
save health, industry, and the broadcast
spirit of enterprise. When sighted by
transportation lines it furnished trans
portation systems of its own. In short,
Seattle made itself.
1t took nearly 30 years for Seattle to
get its long start. At the interval, just
half way between its birthday as a city
and the present time, it was destroyed
by fire, and the Seattle Of today really
dates from that era. Today the new
arrivals in Seattle each two years aggre-
gate in number far more than all that
city boosted of when it had passed the
first Is years of its corporate life.
These are facts which indicate what
the future has in store for it.-Post-
Intelligencer.

A Genuine Hero

There is plenty Of heroism in the
ordinary life, as the performance OF
Charles Deyo, brakeman on the G..
N. railroad, who is now in a hospital
at Spokane, Wash, goes to prove.
This man crawled with broken hip
and useless arm across 100 yards of
frozen ground and up to an embank-
ment at Dryden one dark night and
closed the switch just in time to save
that roads crack passenger train from
derailment. Deyo was rear brakeman
on freight train that took the siding
at Dryden to make way for the limited.
The freight came on the siding at a
high speed, so that Deyo, as he
dropped off the caboose steps, jumped
into an unlighted ground switch" and
fell so that he broke his hip and greatly
injured one arm. Although suffering
intensely, he realized what it meant to
leave the switch open, and painfully
dragged himself to where the switch
light showed red. With his last bit of
strength he managed to turn the
switch SO that the green light appeared
and then fell fainting just as he heard
the whistle Of the express. There the
trainmen found him unconscious. This
deed is to be brought to the attention
Of the Carnegie medal commission.

The season was launched Wodnes-

or less DISASTROUS results.
Referring to the Individual teams it
may be said that Williamsport is still

that of previous years. A well-bal-
