WRECK AT CASCADE TUNNEL
Freight Train Just Entering the Tunnel
Breaks Apart Killing Conductor
Hannah of Everett

A serious wreck occurred at Yelling
ton Wednesday night just before mid
night when engine 1859, in charge of
Engineer Wade, crashed into caboose
and stock car loaded with mules.
Conductor Hannah, in charge of the
train, who was in the caboose at the
time, was instantly killed.
The train had just pulled out Of
Wellington and was about to enter the
tunnel, when it broke in two, which
brought the train to standstill. Helper
engine 1859, which was on the rear
end pushing, drove its way through
the caboose and stock car killing
Conductor Hannah and two mules.
No other fatalities occurred and the
track was soon cleared of the wrecked

didate for superintendent OF public
schools, previous to his election to the
position Of county clerk taught the
Cashmere public school for several
years and resigned that position to be-
come county clerk. He has served
nearly four years in his present position
and from all the information at hand
has filled the Office acceptably. He
tells in his announcement very briefly
why he thinks he is qualified for the
position of superintendent of public
schools of Chelan county, and in the
language of the law makes out prima

him thru, the duties of his Office
preventing him from making a personal
canvass of the county.

sCHooLHoUsE AND RESIDENCE BURNED
School House on Little Chumstick and Al
Moons Home Destroyed Last
Sunday.

The loss by forest fire so far is con-
fined to one school house and small
residence which were destroyed last
Sunday in forest fire which ragged on
Little Chumstick for several days and
is still burning, tho with little prospect
of destroying anything but timber.
Mr.. Skiles, who taught school in Dis
trict So, which is the number of the
school which burned, brought the news
to town last Tuesday. The loss to the
district will amount to several hundred
dollars. Whether there was any insur-
ance on the building we have not
learned. Mr.. Skiles' family was occu-
pying a small house on the homestead
of Al Moon, which was also destroyed.
Mr.. Skiles says he lost about 5000
worth of household goods, not having
time to save anything.

Straw Votes for Women

OF late the growing interest in suf-
frage for women has led scores OF news
papers all over the country to take
straw votes of their women readers on
the question. So far as we have seen
in all but two or three cases the vote
has been in favor of suffrage, usually
by very heavy majority. The Scripps-
McRae league of newspapers lately
took such a vote in eighteen cities.
The result in all was in favor. In San
Francisco and Los Angeles it was in
favor more than 9 to /; in Berkeley,
CAL, So to /: in Des Moines, Ia, 20
to /; in Louisville, KY, more than 8
to 1; in Oklahoma City more than %
to l; in Minneapolis 18 to /, and SO
on. The Seattle Star lately took such
vote. 1t stood-yes, 2218; no, 81.
In Akron, Ohio, only two women voted
no. In the large city of Omaha, Neb.,
only nine voted no. Exchange.

PoINDExTtR ON THE WEST SIDE
Prominent Citizen of AnacOrtes Sees Vic
tory for lnsurgent Candidate

Poindexter will carry the west side of
the state, according to DR.. George B.
Smith, of Anacortes, Skagit county,
which county is variously claimed as a
Burke and Wilson stronghold. The
doctor says it is within the possibilities
that Poindexter may have a majority
over all, although he does not actually
predict it.
You people on the east side will be
surprised when the vote is counted in
the northwest countless said DR..
Smith. Mr.. Poindexter will have
everything his own way. We think he
is the best man in the race. The bust
ness men, the grange and the labor
unions are solid for him. He has made
many friends during his trip to the
coast. He leaves the impression on
his hearers that he is an honest man,
and his words ring true.
When the other candidates have
come our way they have gathered to-
gether company of their friends and
organized mutual admiration society,
taking no ground on anything of pub
lie interest and expressing no opinions
on any subject worth while. Poin-
dexter has something to say, he stands
for something, and we know that he
has done things.
1t is not only the strong, magnetic
personality of the man that wins votes,
but the things he stands for. His
popularity is not confined to any class
of people; the movement is the near
est to a general movement that 1 ever
saw.
I was in little mining camp in
Ferry county recently, and there are
about Al voters in the camp. Every
man was for Poindexter except one,
and the rest OF the camp declared that
they would either kill the recreant or
convert him before September 13.
On our side of the state, Skagit and
Whatcom counties will show major
ity of votes for Poindexter. We are
sick and tired of the rotten boss rule
to which we have been subjected, and
we want to do our own voting and
thinking.
Spokane county must look to her
laurels or we may be proved the ban
ner Poindexter counties in the state"

Urges Organization of Poindexter Club

DR.. Elmer, in a communication
printed elsewhere in this paper, urges
that the friends OF Congressman Poin-
dexter get together next Tuesday night
for the purpose Of organizing Poin-
dexter club. A former movement of
this kind did not result in getting out
enough to organize a strong club, and
the matter was delayed for future ac-
tion. The Doctors suggestion meets
with our hearty approval, and we again
urge those who are favorable to the
candidacy Of Mr.. Poindexter to turn
out. Remember, many a good cause
has been lost for want OF little activi-
ty on the part Of the friends Of the
movement, If you are really desirous
that Mr.. Poindexter should be selected
as the choice of the progressive repub-
licans for United States senator, come
out and do your part.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-08-26

Arthur Thurston Hillman in the
August number Of Human Life, Bos'
ton magazine, thus accounts for Mr.
Poindexter's popularity with the masses.
Ask friends of Poindexter how he
builds up his organization to win his
political victories; what system Of cam
paigning he uses, and they will tell
you that he has no organization, and
that such thing as system is un-
known in his camp, savoring too much
of machine methods. The problem is
simple-he wants votes, and goes to
the voters to get them. He does not
seek them from third party. He
is his own manager and board Of STRAIT
egy.
And in a campaign he is frankness
itself. He is perfectly willing that all
who are interested should know his
plans. He has no secrets. Politics
with him is not contest to see who
can execute the wiliest movements, or
out-general his opponents in the clev-
crest way. He merely asks an oppor-
tunity to get close to the voters and
tell them where he stands. His meth
DDS are personal, and his strength is
greatest with those who meet him face
to face.
In his personal life he is plain and
frugal-frugal to degree. He
spends no more than necessary on his
clothing, and he has no costly fad
unless it may be that of the book-lov-
er. His home, three miles from the
Spokane county court house, is really
in the country, and room after room is
filled with books. On this little farm
he lives as plainly and simply as any
farmer in western Washington. He
milks his own COW, feeds the horses
and attends to the chickens.
No one yet has said that office
changes his mode of life; if he is sent
to the senate he will still be the plain,
anostentatious man who few years ago
was prosecuting attorney Of Walla
Walla county.

Two Announcements for Coroner

Among our announcements for Office
this week will be found the names
of two most estimable men who
have announced for the position of
county coroner. Both gentlemen are
engaged in the undertaking business in
Wenatchee. w. H. Hamilton, who
first filed his announcement with the
Echo, came to Chelan county early last
spring from Vancouver, Wash, and
purchased the undertaking business Of
E. F. Sprague. By courteous de-
meanor and strict attention to business
he has made many friends.
H. N. May, also engaged in the un-
dertaking business in Wenatchee, came
to this county nearly three years ago
from California, where he followed the
same occupation. He took over the
undertaking business formerly con-
Quoted by G. c. Hall and organized
the Wenatchee Undertaking Co., of
which he has made thriving business.
Mr.. May is a clever, wide-a-wake busi-
ness man, very progressive in all mat
tiers that relate to the upbuilding of the
country, and if elected to the Office of
coroner would give it the same atten-
ton he does his business.
The Echo is not in position to
make distinction between these two
men. Both are well qualified. Both
are republicans.

government.

S. F. Gilman, who announced last
week for the position of treasurer of
Chelan county, has been resident of
the Wenatchee Valley for some seven
years and in the lower end of the val
ley is we'll and favorably known. For
several years he was a member of the
Toggery Clothing Co., of Wenatchee,
and made many friends. Since retiring
from the clothing business he has be-
come interested in real estate and has
followed the simple, in other words,
followed a movement which Mr.. Roose-
welt made popular, and has come to be
known as the back to the land move
ment." Our acquaintance, and such
relations as we have had with Mr.. Gil
man, have been pleasant and in no
wise to his prejudice. By education
and business experience he is well fit
ted for the Office Of treasurer. That he
will be nominated on the republican
ticket, as will Mr.. Battles, his opponent
on the democratic ticket, there is not
the slightest doubt. Neither has oppo-
sition in his own party. The tug oI
war will come in November, at the gen
eral election.

What One Rancher Has Done on Dry Land

An exhibit of melons, cantaloupes,
tomatoes and onions, in the window of
Adams & Carr, has attracted consider
able interest the past week. The
melons and vegetables were grown by
C. w. Ellinger, on the south side OF
the river, about one and half miles
from town, by the dry farming meth
DDS, not drop Of water having been
used in irrigating the crop. Neither
has a drop OF rain fallen on it since it
was planted. The onions, grown from
seed planted the latter part Of May,
are from two and one-half to three
inches in diameter. The tomatoes are
large and very fine. We have not seen
any grown in the Wenatchee valley
that excel them. The melons will av-
erage in size and flavor with any ship
ped in here this year. When the con-
ditions under which these melons and
vegetables were grown, without irriga-
ton or rain, are considered, those who
are compelled to farm under like con-
ditions may take courage, and others
who contemplate engaging in agricul-
tural pursuits may take heart.
Mr.. Ellinger has disposed Of his en-
tire crop, which will amount to car OF
melons and some 200 crates Of canta-
loupes, at figure which is very salts
factory to him. OF his onion and to-
mato yield we did not get an estimate.
In addition to the items above men
toned he raised oats, corn and many
other garden vegetables, all OF which
have done well.

Quite a number of people around
Cashmere have subscribed to fund to
employ private counsel to assist in the
prosecution Of the Totten woman and
her mother, Mrs. Beebe, who are held
under charge of murder. We are in
formed on good authority that the
father Of the murdered boy went to the
prosecuting attorney on two occasions
previous to the shooting, and asked
that Mrs. Totten and her mother be
disarmed and put under peace bond.

Forest Supervisor Sylvester, in com
pany with Mr.. Mckenzie, left the first
of the week for the northern portion Of
the Wenatchee forest reserve. While
the forest fires in this reserve have not
been so large or so destructive to life
and and property as in Idaho and Mon
tana there have been number Of small
fires. Enough to keep all the MEM
bers connected with the forest service
very busy. This week fires are re-
ported on the head Of Icicle, Chiwau-
KUN creek, the Chumstick and some
other points that we cannot call to
mind. In the fire on Little Chumstick
last Sunday the Wenatchee Valley &
Northern railway had two fiat cars
burned.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-08-26

L. c. Dunlap, a rancher living some
four miles up the Chumstick valley,
has been troubled with hawks this sum-
mer, and determined to make war on
these feathered robbers. Last Sunday
morning he killed one that measured
almost four feet from tip to tip of wing.
He shot at him on a previous occasion
and clipped the end of one of his
wings with a rife, but this did not de-
ter him from returning for a chicken;
but like the proverbial pitcher that
went to the well, the hawk returned
once too often.
