On the statement of the young
lady's mother, The Echo last week
said that her daughter, Miss Bessie
Walker, fell on the inclined sidewalk
near the Big Rock corner and dislo-
Gated her arm. On the statement of
Mr.. Debord, who helped her up, we
are authorized TO say that she fell
after leaving the sidewalk, there being
a shortcut path from the corner to the
Front street sidewalk which pedestrians
seem to prefer to following the side
walk, which is a little longer. Mr..
Weigand, who owns the property ada
cent to the inclined sidewalk, says he
knows the walk, on account of the in
cline, is dangerous when covered with
ice and snow and takes particular pains
to keep it cleaned of and covered
with sand or ashes to prevent people
from slipping. He says he tries to
keep the walk in such condition as to
prevent accidents, and does not think
the young lady would have fallen if
she had remained on the sidewalk.

c. w. Hastings, OF Reynolds, spent
Monday here and took the afternoon
train for Wenatchee. He says he will
have some land to sell next spring and
predicts a great boom for the upper
country next year. There is abundant
reason for believing his prediction will
come true. The lands in this portion
of the Wenatchee valley and all the
tributary valleys are just as rich, just
as productive and just as we'll adapted
TO the growing of apples as any other
portion of the valley. This will be
established beyond doubt as we will
have from FIVE to ten cars to ship from
this point next year.

The scheme Is to embellish the route SO
that passenger trains will trsvei in a con-
tinuous parkway from the Missouri to the
Pacific. This plan contemplstes the ex-
penditure Of hundreds OF thousands OF dol

justify the outlay and that the increased
travel which is sure TO follow will in the
end pay the bill. Among the benefits tc
the passengers viii be an absolute absence
OF dust.
Across the broad expanse Of Nebraska
the work this year will consist OF sowing
the right +of-way with alfalfa, a plant which
becomes green early and remains green
until late In the fall. This thickens and
forms a green sward which keeps down the
dust.

with elms viii be planted every two rods

The safe was opened and polished
