LIGHT & POWER AT PESHASTIN
Line VIII Be Extended from Leavenworth
Work to Begin First of Next Week

Mr.. Jacobsen tells The Echo that
the Tumwater Light & Water Co. has
arranged with M. F. Gilbert to extend
the telephone line to Peshastin, which
on an air line is distant from Leaven-
worth three miles. A power line will
also be built to Peshastin for the pur-
pose Of furnishing power for pumping
purposes. Mr.. Gilbert has arranged
for the distributionro of power to pump
water on the lands he recently pur-
chased from the Lamb-Davis Lumber
Co. in the vicinity Of Peshastin. Much
Of this land has already been sold and
some Of the purchasers have begun to
improve their places. It is the pur-
pose to have the pumps installed at
once so that water may be had for this
summers use. A new style of pump,
recently patented, is said to give ex-
cellent satisfaction and make irrigation
by this method comparatively cheap.
The lands owned by Mr.. Gilbert ad-
join the town OF Peshastin and lie
directly on the Wenatchee river. The
power for pumping purposes will be
furnished to owners OF lands on both
sides of the Wenatchee river between
Leavenworth and Peshastin.

A TALK ON ADVERTISING
BY A Successful Business Man Who Has
Tried 1t

Advertising is not a myth-it is not
a gamble is not the mysterious some
thing some people seem to believe
advertising is just the sanest, simplest,
and most effective method OF putting
your proposition before the prospective
buyers of your goods, and that's all
there is to it. 4
Advertise and the world 3 with you.
Don't and you'll be alone
For the world today will never pay
A cent to the Great Unknown
The foremost advertising virtue is
persistence. One can no more make
single effort, however large, serve for
years publicity, than he could get
physical nourishment for lifetime from
single dinner.
Man wants but little here below;
but he will have to advertise if he ex-
poets to get it.
You'll hear man say it doesn't pay
to advertise, but when he loses his
bunch of keys he rushes to the news
paper with a Lost ad, although he
knows that in the whole world there is
only one person who can possibly be
influenced by such ad. Contradictory
isn't it7
Advertising is not an exact science.
There is too much psychology mixed
up in it. But there are a few simple
rules which, if followed, will always
produce good results if not the best
possible results. Make your advertise
ment striking, yet we'll balanced, typo
graphically considered. In that adver-
tisement put selling talk made up Of
straightforward reasons why the reader
should buy the goods you offer and
buy them of you. Make your selling
talk consist of good plain Anglo-Saxon
argument and then you have an adver-
tisement of which you may we'll be
proud. Sounds simple, doesn't it?

Scarlet fever has reached an epidemic
stage in Spokane. Gatherings of young
people have been forbidden and some
of the schools have been closed. The
health authorities have taken the most
stringent measures to stamp out the
disease. Later reports indicate that
the number of new cases are dimin-
ishing.

killed a man by the name of A. H.
Rogers last week. The man was a

Rogers died day or two following.
He said he was wanted in Minnesota

PHONETIC DEFINITION.

Cleveland Leader.-Myra Kelly,
whose stories of child life on the east
side are well known to magazine read
ers, tells many amusing stories of her
experiences in teaching the young i1ea
of foreign extraction how to shoot in
English, says the New York Press.
On one occasion, she was attempting
to demonstrate to class of youthful
pupils the exact meaning of various
words, using the plan of taking word
carefully explaining it's meaning, then
asking one of the class to construct a
sentence containing that word. Among
other words she selected was "disar-
range" and after having attempted
to make it's meaning clear called upon
little Italian boy for an oral demon.

thought he gave utterance to this:
My papa he get-a up early in de
morning for light-a de fire ina de
kitchen. De fire he go out and my papa
say: Dana dis-a range!"

EXCESSIVE ETHICS AT FAIRFIELD

Iowa City Republican--Not very
long ago the doctors of Fairfield or
at least some of them became enrag-
ed because the newspapers carried
advertising of specialists and they
withdrew their business from the pa
pers. The newspapers, OF course did
not care for the four or five dollars a
year they lost from each of the doc
tors but they did not like the spirit
of intolerance displayed, SO they spit
back They called the doctors plain
misters except when somebody died,
and then they announced the name of
the doctor in attendance. 1t would
have been more dignified if the news
papers had ignored the churlishness of
the doctors, but that would have rob-
bed them Of lot Of fun. There is
no more amusing cuss than doctor
with sore spot. Most of them are
fine fellows, and all of them are free
horses for many to ride free gratis,
but when doctor gets bad case OF
ethics he usually makes spectacle of
himself.

MAKING THE CHILDREN HAPPY.

Lacking the means of Carnegie or
q Rockefeller, Baltic P. Waggener OF
Atchison, Kas., may not rank as hlsh
as Andy and John D., as phllan-
thropist. Yet if the decision was left TO
the children of Atchison Mr.. Waggen-
er would doubtless be awarded the
pennanr in the philanthropic league
with anseven 1000 per cent. 1t mas
been Mr.. Waggener's practice for sew
eral years to invite the children OF
Atchison and Atchison county to help
him celebrate his birthday This was
rather a costly practice, but Mr.. Wag-
gener enjoyed it and the children en-
loved it, so he thought the money 1t
cost him was well spent.
This year he brought ALL the chill
dren of the county who cared to join
in the fun into Atchison on special
trains. There were 10000 little ones
all told, and the grown ups VINO
brought the children into town added
5000 more and made $4,000 visitors IN
the city. Reports from Atchison. state
that this year the merchants entered
into the spirit of the holiday and dec
Grated their stores and streets lavish
ly with flags and bunting. When the
special trains arrived with their merry
crew of 10000 children they were met
at the station by two troops OF United
States cavalry, three brass bands and
thirty automobiles. a parade was form
ed and the children, including all
the inmates of the State Soldiers
Orphans home, marched through the
town.
When the parade disbanded the
children were given free street car
tickets to the park, and at the park all
the attractions were free to Waggen-
er's little guests. There were band
concerts, cavalry drills, aquatic eX-
hibitions. matinee, baseball games,
a merry go-round, contests, races and
vaudeville performances, all free to
the children.
When the bills were sent in Mr..
Waggener found that it cost him just
$4,000 to give 10000 children a glor-
iously happy day, which is not near
ly SO much as some Of our former
actresses who marry millionaires and
then get into the divorce courts spend
for single gown.
This would be much brighter
world if there were more Waggeners
living in it

ADVICE WORTH WHILE.

Frequently when some of our MIL
lionaires fall into a reminiscent MOOD
they start out to tell us how they got
it and wind up by advising us to be
good, be saving, be honest and dig and
we may achieve the same success they
did. But it sometimes happens when
reading this advice that we remember
instances where these same parties
were being questioned by the govern
ment concerning rebates they had re-
ceived, or were being prosecuted for
conducting combinations in restraint
of trade, and we reach the conclusion
that they did not make their success
by following the rules they laid down
for our conduct. There was more rea-
son to believe that they had succeeded
by keeping an eye open for the main
chance and by using some Of the peo-
pie in their way as stepping stones
up the ladder of progress. Then, too,
they have climbed SO far up the lad
der that the height makes us dizzy
and we find 1t hard to form for our.
selves any rule of life that will take
us up that far on the rocky road to
success.
But when some one who has made
only moderate success, yet a great
er success than we have achieved,
tells Is the way he did it, we can feel
more than an ordinary interest, be-
cause he does not ask us to climb be-
yond our strength. Such a line of adj
vice is given by Henry Hefferen,
newsboy, who paid $500 for a
news stand at Wabash ave
nue. and Madison street in Chicago
with his hard earned savings and now
