This library is perhaps the largest

A BARGAIN IN BOOKS.
In connection with bookselling 1t Is
amusing to recall the fact that the
governors of the Coventry grammar

| a Cicero of an edition so rare that
| there Is not copy in the British mu-
| scum, and the volume Is the one in
| which the seventeenth century scholars

| Srribing their names. The advice of

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1910

One Of Leavenworth's citizens, re-
turning from the coast the first of this
week said on Wednesday of last week
there was six inches of snow at Everett,
and at Monroe, fourteen inches. Here
we now have nearly two feet on level
and what may appear strange to the
uninitiated, we're glad Of it, and wish
there was more. 1t only takes about
one years residence in this locality to
appreciate the importance Of snow.
The importance of the snow in this To-
cality, near the mountains, is not so
great as it is farther down the valley
of the Wenatche and Columbia rivers,
where there is little or no rain during
the summer months-the growing sea-
son. There it means a short, or no
crop at all. Just in proportion as the
snow is stored up in the mountains in
the winter, and flows down the rivers
in the summer, is the reward of the
fruit grower. A few weeks ago when
the snowfall in the mountains was re-
ported unusually light, apprehensions
were entertained about the suficiency
of water for irrigation next summer
Now, however, since some six or eight
additional feet of snow has been added.
to that stored in the bosom of the Cas-
cades the ranchers may be assured Of
an abundance of water.

Dress Parade Soldiers

The regular state troops evidently
showed too much sympathy with the
Philadelphia street car strikers, and so
far have not shot to kill, so a private
military company, Sunday soldiers,
known as the State Fencibles," were
called out last Tuesday, some two hun
dred strong, and placed on duty, says
the dispatch, armed with loaded rifles.
They were detailed in the Kensington
district, hotbed of union sympathis-
ers. In their first skirmish they were
badly beaten by a mob that paid no
attention to the drawn bayonets and
snatched the rifles from the hands of
the young mi!itiamen.
Members of the Fencibles, accord
ing to Mayor Redburn, acted as if they
were allowing girls in the mill district
to wear their caps and cut the brass
buttons off their clothing. At one
point a group of rioters captured a
member of the Fencibles and carried
him several feet from his post. Here
they stripped him of his coat, hat and
cartridge belt and gun and threw them
into a sewer.

An Accredited High School

In the past, as everyone knows who
has lived here for four or five years, the
public school has not always given en-
tire satisfaction to majority of the
patrons. Just why this was so The
Echo is not sufficiently posted, never
having taken the time to make thoro
investigation, tho convinced from the
number of complaints reaching the
Office that there was ground for criti-
cism. The very fact that no COM
plants have been made during the
present term is almost convincing evil
dence that Principal Moore and his
able and efficient corps Of assistants
are conducting a successful and salts
factory term of school. Mr.. Moore
came here highly recommended from
the Wenatchee schools, where he had
been engaged for several years, and has
organized and conducted one Of the
most satisfactory schools Leavenworth
has ever had. Recently, in converse
ton with him, he expressed desire to
teach the entire high school course
and hoped in another year to be able
m do so. At this time not all the
high school studies are pursued and
the school is not an accredited one.
He says there is no reason why the
Ieayenworth public school should not
be put on the same footing with the
best public schools in the state and be
accredited with teaching the full high
school course, so that graduates from
this school will be eligible to entrance
in the state university.

The Dying P0lynesians

OF all the inhabitants of the South
Seas the Marquesans were adjudged
the strongest and the most beautiful.
And now all this strength and beauty
has departed, and the valley Of Typee
is the abode of some dozen wretched
creatures, afflicted by leprosy, elephan-
tiasis and tuberculosis. Melville esti-
mated the population at 1000, not
taking into consideration the small adj
joining valley of Ho-o-u-mi. Life has
rotted away in this wonderful garden
spot, where the climate is as delightful
and healthful as any to be found in the
world. Not alone were the Typeans
physically magnificent; they were pure.
Their air did not contain the bacilli
and germs and microbes of disease that
fill our own air. And when the white
man imported in their ships these va
rious micro-organisms of disease the
Tyreans crumpled up and went down
before them.
When one considers the situation,
one is almost driven to the conclusion
that the white race hourishes on impur
ity and corruption. Natural selection,
however, gives the explanation. We
of the white race are the survivors and
the descendants of the thousands of
generations OF survivors in the war with
the micro organisms. Whenever one
of US was born with a constitution pc
culiarly receptive to these minute enc
mics, such one promptly died. Only
those OF US survived who could with
stand them. We who are alive are the
immune, the fit-the ones best consti-
tuted to live in a world of hostile micro
organisms. The poor Marquesans had
undergone no such selection. They
were not immune. And they, who had
made custom Of eating their enemies,
were now eaten by enemies so micro
scopic as to be invisible, and against
whom no war of dart and javelin was
possible. On the other hand, had
there been a few hundred thousand
Marquesans to begin with, there might
have been sufficient survivors to lay
the foundation for new race-a re-
generated race, if plunge into fes-
tering bath Of organic poison can be
called regeneration. Jack London in
the Pacific Monthly.

The city council of Wenatchee is
taking sensible course with he par
ties who have applied for franchise
for the Wenatchee Valley Electric rail-
way. This is the company that pro-
poses to build an electric line to Leav-
enworth. The council decided not to
grant a charter for a longer period than
25 years. The council also provided
that after five years, two per cent of
gross receipts are to be paid to the
city, and after fifteen years, three per
cent is to be paid to the city. This
company will likely ask our own coun-
Gil for franchise and it will be well to
make a mental note of these matters.
Franchises of this kind, or any kind,
fol- that matter, often become very val
liable, where they run for long period
of years. The company asked for a
fifty year franchise but the council de-
cided not to grant it for longer term
than twenty-five. They also provided
for maximum rates to be charged.
Another wise provision. The council
can not be too careful in giving away
the rights OF the public. Doubtless
the people of Leavenworth would be
pleased to have another means of COM
munication with the outside and would
be willing to surrender every right to
get it, to learn later on that if they had
odly been patient and considered the
matter well before acting, many rights,
privileges and benefits could have been
reserved to the public. 1t often hap
pens, too, after it is too late, that
another company would have provided
for better service. The Wenatchee
council, wisely, as this paper believes,
refused TO saddle fifty year franchise
on the next generation.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Tumwater Light & Water Co. Makes AppIi-
cation For Franchise

On account of the regular meeting
night falling on a national holiday, the
council adjourned to meet Wednesday
night. All the members were in their
seats when the hour for meeting ar
rived. The special committee having
the disposition of the old town Gala
boose in charge reported that it was
located on lot belonging to the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co., and that Mr.. Jacob
sen, for the company, had given per-
mission to remove the building, when
ever the town saw fit. The clerk was
instructed to advertise for bids for the
sale of the building.
The report of the committee on fire
hydrants was received and the COM
mittee discharged When a motion
was made that the council meet in a
committee OF the whole next Monday
night to consider the application of
the Tumwater Light and Water Co.,
for fifty year franchise for the use of
the streets for laying water pipes, and
agre on the conditions under which
the franchise would be granted. The
motion prevailed. The Lamb-Davis
Lumber Co. submitted a check cover
ing one-third of the cost of what is
known as the Moon bridge, and also
one covering the cost of sidewalk as
sessments against the mill company's
property.
Councilman Weigand submitted a
resolution providing that when the
number of saloons is reduced to five
by any of those now engaged in the
business closing up their places that no
further license in excess of five be
granted. The resolution was adopted.
According to the will of the council
after the first of April the marshall and
his deputy will be required to wear
regulation uniform and will be in
structed by the mayor to wear their
badge of authority so it can be plainly
seen.
Just before adjournment the follow
ing bills were allowed: Leavenworth
Echo, printing and advertising, $40. 20;
Pioneer Bindery and Pig. Co., regis
tration book, Sc; Guy Hamilton, salary
and expense, 29.42; ]. F. Pratt, 81. SIS;

Yama, boarding prisoners, $3.50.

The Publisher is Puzzled

Some OF the business men of Leav-
enworth felt it incumbent upon them
selves this week to address a letter to
Mr.. W. L. Bowen, division superin-
tendent of the Great Northern railway
between Leavenworth and Spokane, to
to the effect, so we have been told by
some of the subscribers, that they were
in no way responsible for the criticism
which appeared in last weeks Echo OF
that gentleman conduct at meeting
between some OF the officials of the
railway company and a number of the
business men of the town. In this &C
ton the subscribers were entirely within
their rights and The Echo has no com
plant to make, though the publisher
confesses himself puzzled, as he in no
way indicated a desire to shirk the re-
sponsibility for resenting a gross per-
sonal affront. At least two of the sub
scribers have informed the writer that
they signed their names under a mis-
apprehension.
That the higher officials of the railroad
company took no offense at what the
Echo said about one of the minor Of
fcials, he is cock sure" though they
may regret having in their employ a
man who does not know enough to be
polite. Every servant of the company
receives instructions to treat the public
courteously and civilly, for violating
which rule employees have in the past
been discharged. Mr.. Louis Hill the
president, Mr.. Gruber, the general
manager, and other officials of the
company who have shown their fitness
to be at the head of a great corpora
ton are hereby credited with knowing
the value OF courtesy as well as the
disadvantage Of lack of it on the
part of an employee. In respect to
the value that large corporations place
on the civility OF their employees, they
do not differ from others.
The matter between Mr.. Bowen and
the publisher of The Echo was purely
of personal nature, occurring after
the meeting adjourned, tho ne was
politely approached as servant of the
railway company for the purpose OF
asking civil question. That he did
not have the grace to answer in kind
is no fault of his employer, but for the
very reason that this charitable view is
not always entertained by victims OF
incivility the company enjoins polite
ness on all its employees.

Our Exchanges from the lumber re-
gions OF Washington report an increas-
ing demand for lumber. The logging
companies look forward to an active
summer in the woods and the mill men
are feeling good over the prospect of a
good years business. The feeling
in the commercial and money centers
of the east is full of confidence for the
future. When the cheap homeseeker
rates go into effect next month, as
they undoubtedly will, large number
of those who came here last summer
to visit the fair and look around, may
be expected to return with the money
to invest in Washington lands. Hav-
ing seen with their own eyes the OPP
portunities for investment, they ar
ranged their affairs to come back this
summer to stay. There is every good
reason for believing that the state of
Washington will enjoy greater pros
perity and see greater development
during 1910 than any year in its his
tory. With activity in the lumber
trade, good crops and high prices for
all commodities what can prevent an
era of prosperity

TO Make Brick from Gypsum at wenatchee

To Make Brick from Gypsum at Wenatohee
The Squaw Saddle Mining & Milling
Co., after disposing Of several thousand
dollars worth of stock in the local mar
ket, began last Saturday to sell stock
in Seattle. One Seattle party who had
looked over the gypsum deposit, which
is said to be the richest in the country,
bought $500 worth of shares.
Brick made of this deposit can be
subjected to any amount of heat and
when burnt will ring like steel if struck
with a piece of metal.
Pat Healey, the president Of the
company, after saying that the com
pany expected to begin making brick
in about month, added: 1T is the
best money-making proposition there
is. 1t is better than a gold mine. We
have on the surface 80 acres OF thin
ore. Advices from competent men on
the Sound are unanimous in pronounc-
ing this the finest material for making
brick and state that when the industry
is started here the smaller establish
ments along the line will have to close
down. "-Wenatche World.

The railroad building in Washington
this year will probably not come up to
last, yet considerable new mileage is
projected and some of it is under con-
tract. The fifty mile gap between
Wenatchee and Pateros, in Okanogan
county, is almost sure to be filled this
summer. The Strahorn road, known
as the North Coast, has had surveyors
in the Columbia river valley all winter.
If reports are to be credited they have
spent considerable time in Okanogan
county. Certain it is this road is &C
lively engaged in railroad building in
the lower Columbia river valley and in
the vicinity of North Yakima. 1t is
the activity Of the North Coast that
may move the Great Northern to close
up gaps and throw out feeders. Other
cutoffs and feeders projected by the
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific
may bring the total mileage of new
track for 1910 up into the hundreds
and not only give employment to labor,
but open up new territories to settle

The locomotive recently built for the
electric operation of trains through the
Cascade tunnel of the Great Northern
railway, where the electrical equipment
extends for about six miles, weighs
about 100 tons and is furnished with
four 3-phase 400-horse-power motors
working on a 500-volt, 25-cycle cir
cult. The pressure on the line is 5000
volts, which is reduced by transformers
carried on the locomotive. The power
plant, which is driven by water power,
has sufficient capacity for the operation
of sixty miles of the line.-Scientific

7 lightning Strikes Home.-The resi-
dence of John lies, corner Thirteenth
street and Grand avenue, was badly
damaged Saturday evening at 6
o'clock when a bolt of lightning
struck the roof and set fire to it.
The blaze gained good Roadway
before it was discovered and an alarm
was at once sent into the fire depart
ment. The timely arrival of the
companies prevented the entire upper
story Of the residence being burned
of and as it is, the loss will be con-
siderably over 500. At the time
the bolt struck the house the mem
bers of the family were downstairs
and the crash of thunder which fol-
lowed the bolt, startled them. Soon
the smell of smoke awakened them
to the fact that the house was on
fire and the alarm was then sent in.
