SEATTLE MOUNTAINOUS
An Outing Club VIII Start from Leaven-
worth to Ascend Glacier Peak

L. A. Nelson Of Seattle, a member
of the Mountaineers and chairman of
the outing committee, was here the
first week of this month and arranged
with Joe Massie to transport the clubs
baggage and camp supplies. The
party, which will number from fifty to
seventy-fve, will start from this point
about July 18th. The trip will be
made afoot.
Glacier Peak is some ten thousand
five hundred feet high and has been
neglected by mountain climbers. 1t
is said to present one of the most mag
nifcent and inspiring mountain views
in the state. 1t is distant from Leav-
enworth about eighty miles. White
river, which empties into Wenatchee
lake, heads up against the peak. Mr..
Sylvester plans to accompany the party.

Mrs. Chas. Cromwell is slowly recov-
ering from long and severe spell of
sickness.
Randol Heinrichs, from the Wen
atchee river, spent Sunday with Mr..
and Mrs. Gust Coll.
A crowd of young folks belonging to
Leavenworth' four hundred took din
ner at the Poepmuller home last Sun
day and spent the afternoon and even
ing.
Bill Poepmuller and Bill Moon had
a narrow escape last Monday morning.
They were falling timber on a hillside
and in falling tree started snowslide.
They succeeded in getting off the
slide but lost their tools and bottle-oil.
Some thirty thousand feet of logs that
they had previously cut were covered
up by the slide.

Benefits of Forest Conservation

The total receipts of the Wenatchee
national forest during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1909, were $11,-
674.08. The total disbursements were
$22,717.28.
One quarter of the total receipts OF
a national forest are paid into the
treasury of the county or counties in
which it is located.
Chelan and Kittitas counties thus
profited from the Wenatchee forest
during the above year to the extent Of
$25, $3.50, since they received not
only one-quarter of the receipts, but all
Of the money expended by the national
government, for this money was paid
out to citizens of these counties and
by them put into circulation.

The Great Northern Oriental Lin
tied, running over the Washington
Central division of the Northern Pacific,
on account of washouts near Odessa,
ran past the junction for Adrian We'd
nesday afternoon at four o'clock and
came through Coulee City, passed the
depot and went off the end of the
track while running at a speed of fif-
teen miles an hour. The engine went
down an embankment about twenty
feet, plowed into the soft ground, and,
strange to say, remained in an upright
position. None of the coaches left the
track. No one was injured except one
passenger, who jumped and sustained
fractured arm. The engineer and
fireman jumped. AS the switch was
turned for Coulee City the engineer
and pilot, who were not familiar with
the line, supposed they were on the
main line for Adrian until the train
went off the end OF the track.
The belated train passed thru
Leavenworth about midnight the same
day. DR.. Hoxsey, the railroad physi-
clan, was called upon to attend any
Of the passengers who may have been
injured.
AS the train did not stop here long
enough for him to finish his duties, and
the passengers did not care to stop
over, he was compelled to go as far as
Merritt, returning the following day

COULDN'T GET A QUORUM
City Council Couldn't Meet Tuesday Even
ing and Will Try Again Tonight

The city council tried to meet Tues
day evening, but after fiddling around
until 9 o'clock in a vain effort to corral
a quorum, while councilmen played
hide-and-seek with the marshal, an
adjournment was taken until this, Fri
day evening, when it is hoped to get
the city fathers together long enough
to at least pay the bills.
Councilmen Weigand and Hathaway
were present at 8 o'clock, with Coun-
Gilman Carlquist reported out of town
and not sign of Messrs. Mccoy and
King. By and by Mr.. Hathaway went
over to his store on a temporary err
rand. Then Councilman King wandered
in, and after waiting a few minutes
wandered out again. Then the faith
full Mr.. Weigand, Clerk Hamilton and
his honor the mayor refused to act any
longer as a sort of nest egg, and sol
EMMY adjourned.
From informal talk it is apparent
that the council is strongly in favor of
doing something to improve the road
leading to Peshastin. Many ranchers
in that part of the valley prefer to come
to Leavenworth to trade but are forced
to go to Cashmere because of the con-
dition of the roads.
1t was also gathered that the matter
of rebating taxes unlawfully assessed
and gathered by the county will be re-
ferred to the county treasurer for GER
tilted statement as to just how much
the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. and 9TH
ers are entitled to receive.

A Good Roads Meeting

Mayor Gellatly has called meeting
to be held in Wenatchee on the 18th
of February for the purpose of organic
ing good roads movement. This
paper has always supported every
movement that has for its object the
improvement of our public roads. II
there is one thing more than another
that will benefit the state of Washing
ton it is system of public roads built
on a thoroughly scientific method.
The saving effected by the publicly
everyone who has to use the roads, and
who does not use them-amounts
every year to approximately fifteen per
cent interest on the sum necessary to
put the roads in first-class condition.
Railroad corporations spend millions in
Improvements when the saving will
pay the interest on the cost plus ten
per cent, and consider it good bust
ness, which it undoubtedly is.
If Chelan county spent two hundred
thousand dollars on her roads, the in
terest on which would be approx
mately twelve thousand dollars per
year, the direct benefits to the farmer,
who could haul at two loads with more
ease what with poor roads would have
to be divided into three, would be
benefited far beyond what his probable
share of the increased tax might be.
While the greater benefit from good
roads would accrue to the farmers both
direct and indirect benefits would
inure to every citizen of the county.
Good roads would have the effect of
enhancing the value of every acre Of
land in Chelan county. In no way OF
which we can now think would our
lands, occupied and unoccupied, be
made so desirable as having good pub
lie roads. Beyond good soil nothing
so quickly draws the attention of the
homeseeker and investor as good
roads.
The Echo earnestly hopes that a
representative delegation from this por-
ton OF the county will attend the
meeting and that some definite steps
may be taken, so that the good roads
movement in Chelan county may de-
velop into something beyond talk.

of these rules, just as the law of gravi-
tation is another.
1T is the law of moral action and
reaction and it requires no legislature
to enact it, no court to declare it con-
stitutional, no executive to enforce it.
1t enforces itself every second OF time.
1t is the law which makes it inevitable
that the doer OF unkind things shall suffer
from unkindness, that the man who
hates will be hated, that the man who
loves his fellows will be loved by them.
It is the law of love.

had, who think Washington apples are
very good, and from experience know
there is no fear of biting into worm
when they eat one. The writer was
born in Toledo, Ohio, and remembers
the time when wormy, knotty Ohio
apple tasted good, and ate it, too, with
a much keener relish than he can now
eat the finest apple that ever grew in
any country. But he realizes every
now and again that it is not the apple
that has changed, but his taste has gone
into the limbo of the past along with
some other tastes and passions. The
Ohio editors taste has simply succumb-
ed to the corosion of time. We do not
know him, but will bet dimes to dough-
nuts that he is victim of indigestion,
with a sour stomach and temper even
more sour than his stomach. Hear his
comment:
"A visit to the apple show in the
Lazarus building is an education. An
examination of the perfect specimens
of Ohio apples on exhibition there,
with an occasional one to eat, is enough
to convince any man that Prof. Green Of
the Ohio Experiment Station is right
when he says that there is no reason
under heaven why Ohio should not be
the greatest apple state in the Union.
Mulching, spraying, intelligent care of
the orchard-this is all that is necessary
to make a success of apple-growing in
Ohio.
We don't know whether or not it
is because of the long-distance trans
portation that the boosted Washington
and Oregon apples are such failure in
this part of the country, but there is no
question at all about the fact. Itseems
sometimes as if they shipped that beau
tiful fruit in here just to remind US, for
our general good, that appearances are
deceitful. 1t is tasteless, insipid, and
simply not worth eating. And yet
these lovely frauds are selling in the
Columbus market today for fifty cents
dozen. And there isn't as much real
value in a whole dozen of them as
there is in one of the little runty
things we feed to the pigs in Ohio.
Apple land in the vicinity of Spo
kane brings as high as $4,000 an acre.
There are acres and acres in southern
Ohio on which more contentment for
the race can be raised that may be
bought at $40. Are we asleep, apple
wise, in Ohio?-Ohio State Journal"
The sentence, I'VE don't know
whether or not" suggests also the
loss of his Lindley Murray.

WHAT MATTERS ITe

What matters 1t If the snow
Has covered ground and trees?
Soon the Spring will come again
With blossoms, birds and bees.
What matters 1t If friends prove false
That you deemed firm and true?
Another one Will fill the place
And prove more fair to you.
What matters 1t, If your heart
Is desolate and sad?
Someone will come along your way
And make your life more glad.
What matters it, If your eyes
With unshed tears be dim?
Lift up your voice in prayer and look
For victory to Him.
Surely He is keeping
Something in store for you
SO much brighter and better
Than earthly friends can do.
And He Will remember
All your signs and tears
And give you glorious recompense
For all the lonely years.

viii Ask For a Franchise

The following item was taken from
the Daily World of Tuesday.
One of the most important matters
that is scheduled for consideration at
tonight's meeting Of the city council
will be the application for a franchise
for the Wenatchec Leavenworth Elec-
trio railway. The franchise was to
have come up last Tuesday evening
but on account Of the delay in the
trains the Tacoma people having this
matter in charge were not present.

File on Water Rights

The Quincy Valley Water Users
Association last week made a fling
with County Auditor Godfrey on water
for irrigation purposes from the Wenat-
chez river and Chewawa river. The
association had a surveying crew on
the Wenatchee and Chewawa rivers for
several months last summer and ran
several lines down the Wenatchee
river to its junction with the Columbia.
News items in the daily press indicate
that the Quincy irrigation project may
take shape and work begin on the
ditch the coming summer.

Big Demand for Nursery Stock

According to Commissioner of Hor-
ticulture F. H. Huntley there are over
500 people handling nursery stock in
this state, and that, owing to the sys-
tenn of inspection now in use, the
stock is much cleaner than ever before.
Nurserymen all over the state report a
heavy demand for trees and are rushed
to fill their orders. John Roger of the
Northwest Nursery company of North
Yakima predicts that the entire stock
OF nurseries of the state will be exhaust
ed this spring.

Advertising SwindIers

A private letter from Seattle advises
this paper that a company doing bust
ness under the name of Northwest Pub
licity and Advertising Co., is working
a graft on the public and claiming to
have offices in the Central building,
Seattle. They are soliciting money for
advertising in a Souvenir Guide of
Washington" The whole scheme is
pronounced fraud.

ceive equal pay for equal work. ms
prevents women under-bidding men in
the labor market and tends to the con-
struction of such satisfying homes as
can exist only when the house-mother
finds her chief pursuit in home-making.
The rightly constituted home is the
cornerstone of national prosperity.
All questions concerning the vital
interests of the home ultimately be-
come political questions. About such
questions women have fullest under
standing. Those who know most
about a matter should have voice in
decisions concerning it.
Laws are made for average men and
women, and each class, section, voca-
ton and sex best know what is good
for itself. Those who are most affected
by a question are those who take
greatest interest in the voting upon 1t.
That those who know most about
matter should be the ones to decide it,
conduces to the general welfare. That
enfranchised women do not always vote
upon all questions submitted is an evi-
dence of their wisdom rather than OF
their indifference to the commonweal.
To vote is to express an opinion, and
to hold an opinion about that OF which
one knows nothing is sort of immor-
atty. Woman's alleged abstention
from the polls should encourage men
to enfranchise her.
Women have need of every means
of self-defence, including the ballot.
1t is not true that men protect women.
The 100000 white slaves" in this
country disprove it. The fact that in
three fourtils of the states women lose
control of their own property upon
their marriage day, disproves it. There
is but one state where women have
equal legal rights with men, and that
is the state where women have voted
since 1898. Any person who lacks
due legal protection is apt to become
ultimately loser through the cupidity,
the passions, or the neglect of others.
If you want thing well done, do
it YOURSELF" is maxim that is as ap-
plicable to voting as it is to any bust
ness undertaking.
The consequence of injustice are
always far-reaching and terrible. One
portion OF the human family has held
the other in legal subsection through
centuries uncounted, and the world as
whole is sad. 1t might be well to
try to be just, and see what would
come of it. Only good has come in
New Zealand, Australia, Norway, Eng
land, Canada, Wyoming, Colorado,
Kansas, Utah and Idaho, where hun
dreds of eminent men have testified to
the excellence of the results of en-
franchising women.

RAILROAD TO SARAGOSA

the New School Bonds.

Pecos. Texas. Sept. 12.-E P. Tur-
ner, general passenger and traffic
agent of the Texas & Pacific, is in the
city, after a trip over his lines, to
determine the number of extra cars
. necessary to transport the passengers
who will attend the opening of the
. town of Saragosa, September Is and
16.
The T. & P. has authorized a rate of
one fare for the round trip from all
points on its line to Pecos city, where
the cars will be transferred to the
Pecos Valley Southern railway for
movement to Saragosa, in the Toyah
valley.
Regular service will be inaugurated
between Pecos and Saragosa, a dis
lance of 80 miles, following the open
ing day
Arrangements have been made to
feed and care for 5000 people, and a
program. typical of the west, will be
provided.
The public schools opened with an
enrolment of 416, an increase of 80
percent over the first week of last
year. The new building, for which
100000 bonds were voted has not been
built. because Of the inability Of the
school trustees to place the bonds. In
consequence the present buildings are
crowded, two teachers hearing all
their classes in the halls.

ARTESIAN WATER
STRUCK AT PECOS
The Value at Land Increases
From So to 800 Per
Acre as a Result.

Pecos, Texas, Sept. 12.-Immediate-
~ following the test made Of the well
on the state experiment station, which
pumped water sufficient to irrigate
200 acres. a test was made of a 10
inch well eight miles south from Pc
COS, which delivered a like amount.
These wells average $50 feet in
depth, and the water rises to within
Is to 20 feet of the surface.
Expert drillers and pump men from
Houston have been in the field for
three weeks, and have closed con-
tract to sink a we'll, guaranteeing 1000
gallons per minute. A well of this
capacity will cover a half section, or
800 acres, 80 inches deep, during
seven months, which is the irrigation
season.
Great interest and no little excite
ment attends these tests, since the de-
livery of water in such quantities, to
land now selling at SIS per acre, Gre
ates a ready sale for the same land at
from SIS to 500 per acre.
Already over loo. 900 acres have been
proven to be underlaid with this ar
tesian strata, which averages Is feet
in depth, the water being found in
coarse gravel.
In an address before the CONNER
cial club. president F. W. Johnson

type of development would attract 5000
settlers to the territory Of Pecos.
