The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-01-07

County School Superintendent Bow
ersox is working hard to enforce the
attendance OF children at school, as
required by the state law. Two cases,
both from the Entiat School District
81, were before Justice Sumner at We
natchee last Friday. Cecil Slater,
aged II, was shown to have been con-
tinually irregular in attendance, and
Sadie Stoddard, aged IA, was found to
have been absent unnecessarily. In
each case the parents had to pay fines,
costs, and travelling expenses, enough
to make them observe the law more
carefully in the future. A change has
recently been made in the school law
that makes it include children between
the ages of IS and 16 who are not en-
gagged in useful and remunerative &C.

The Lake Chelan Land company is
the name of corporation recently or
ganized in Seattle, it is understood, by
the same parties comprising the Wa
patio Irrigation company. The new
concern will handle the improvement
and marketing end of the Wapato
lands project, while the original com
pany will confne its attention to irri-
cation matters. 1t is expected that the
present year will witness a tremendous
development of the Lake Chelan
country.

More than half the students attend
ing the Washington State University
are self-supporting, wholly or in part.
This is a larger percentage than ever
known before in the history of the
school. Of the 1910 students en-
rolled, 800 are making their way thro
college solely on their own resources,
and 500 are earning more than half
their expenses, making a total 938
students depending on their own eff
forts. In the liberal arts department
there are ga students enrolled; the
law school comes next, with III, and
the civil engineering school ranks
third with 1876. The other depart

NEWS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST

The action of Chehalis county in
granting 50-year blanket franchise
over the State and county roads there
in will undoubtedly bring to focus at
the Washington Good Roads Conven-
ton to be held at Aberdeen, January
20 and q, the much-mooted question
as to whether franchises over state
roads can be given away by the coun-
ties through which these roads may
pass. No less heated a discussion is
expected over the question as to which
trunk line road shall first be construct
ed, that from Spokane to Walla Walla,
in which the east side is vitality inter
ested, or that from Blaine to Vancou-
yer, which the delegates from west Of
the mountains will strongly advocate.
The holidays once more over, re-
ports are pouring in from all parts Of
the northwest that the outlook for a
prosperous new year was never better.
All previous business records have
been surpassed and many new activi-
ties have been started. For several
years past, 1909 had been looked for
ward to mark notable results, and it
did not disappoint, for through the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacifc exposition unu-
sual attention was directed to this part
of the country. There is every reason
to believe that the harvest from this
publicity will come this year. 1t is
the interior sections of the northwest
that promise to make the most rapid
progress from this time forth. Central
Washington, the interior of Oregon
and the panhandle Of Idaho are to be
the scenes of great railroad activity.
They offer homes for several millions
of families. The depression of 1907
is now like the memory of 1898, a
closed incident. The lumber business
has revived, crops have been good,
the demand for land is steady, SO that,
all in all, conditions prevail which
make the northwest the best place to
live.

1t is expected that contracts will be
let in a day or so for the construction
of the Great Northern's 100000 hotel
building at Wenatchee. The plans
call for a modern, up-to-date structure.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-01-07

On the order of the city health au-
thorities of Wenatchee the theatres
and churches have been closed, public
gatherings prohibited, and the open
ing of the schools was deferred for a
week OF more. The prevalence of
scarlet fever is responsible for this gen
eral quarantine and the authorities hope
to thus be able to prevent the cpl
demic from assuming dangerous pro-
nortionS.

son is the brightest In its his
tory since it was first introduced IN
this country by our English cousins.
This is especially true of New Jersey
where the game heretofore has been
fairly web p~atronized. and the stand
ard OF soccer furnished the patrons mas
been, as a rule, of the class produced
by the junior elevens of England
and Scotland.
Each season shows an Improvement
in the class Of soccer played, which can
be accounted for owing to the fact that
the young Americans are learning the
game with great rapidity, which means
that In a short time they will be dis
putting the right of h English and
Scotch as the premier soccerite players
of the world.
When the game was first introduced
in this country it was by subjects Of
Great Britain and her colonies-by men
who had played the game in their ma
tive land, purely for sport. 1t is a well
known fact that any player who was
fast enough to sign on with either a
first or second division team in the old

Isles to play in this country; while this
class of players furnished TIE nucleus
for the representative teams of this
country the game did not advance az

young Americans became attracted 20
the game and learned it that the sport
showed a healthy growth, which has
been within the last ten years.
At the present time the game Is
booming THROUGHOUT the entire country,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
from north to eorth. and the great out
cry for something to supp,ant the
American college game has caused the
soccer game to be introduced n near
~ every college of any Importance.
This means that the game Is here TO
stay, and 1t Is only a question of time
before 1t viii rank with the leading
games of this country.

compare fayorahly with the best thai
our British friends can produce, as
soccer players are born, and not made.
Here in Newark a movement is on
foot to organize a JUNIOR league. Few
realize what this means for the ad
vancement of The game, but thu fact
is that the young talent has been over
looked entirely in the past. and as a
result many a fast and brilliant young
soccerite has never advanced any fur
Their than the local oyals, as they
lacked the support of an organization
properly conducted which would bring
them permanently before the public.
With the single exception of their per-
sonal following the soccer world al
large knew nothing about them. The
so-called professionals with their stars
who have been playing the game Tor
years left no opening IN their ranks. and
the youngsters could get no chance to
show their real playing ability.
A Junior league properly conducted
should attract people. Junior elevens
talk about the game from n end Of
the week until the other. That creates
rivalry of the keenest class. and When
Sunday comes the oval Is crowded with
in-the-wool soccer fans.
This kind OF crowds is what builds
up the game. and. as a result, when
these juniors get in the professional
ranks. their Following goes with them
as a rule, and the youngsters who take
their place brings a new following.
The promoters of the Junior League
contemplate having a league of at least
eight clubs composed of teams from
Newark and surrounding cities. which
Will be run by officers not connected or
Interested in any way with the different
elevens, the games being played on
Sunday afternoons as a rule.
A staff OF referees will be selected
who VIII run the games properly, men
who are competent and understand the
games from A to q, and who will see to
1t that the games are played as the
rules intended them to be played, ana
from he personnel of the men who are
likely to control the AFFAIRS OF the
league. it Is a settled fact that 40
games will be won In The meetings, but
each and every contest will be either
won or lost on the field.
A meeting will he held Saturday eve
