Chelan County Good Reads Meeting

chez on the 18th day Of February, to
which everyone who has the welfare
of country highways at heart should
attend. At the head of the move
ment is Mayor John A. Gellatly and
he is working necessarily for better
roads and to make the meeting sue
cess. The matter is one that should
receive the support and encourage
ment of all, and now that the initia-
tive has been taken, it should re-
ceive encouragement from all parts
of the county. AT this meeting rep
resentatives will be chosen from Che
Ian county to go to the state good
roads convention, which meets in
Aberdeen February % and "a. An
effort will be made at this meeting
by the Yakima delegation to divert
the route of the state highway and
make it go through their valley in
stead of through the Wenatchee val
ley.-Cashmere Record.

Mayor Gellatly has called a meet
ing to be held in Wenatche on the
18th of February for the purpose of
organizing good roads movement.
This paper has always supported
every movement that has for its OBJ
ject the improvement of our public
roads. II there is one thing more
than another that will benefit the
state of Washington it is a system of
public roads built on 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 approx
mately Is per cent interest on the
sum necessary to put the roads in
first class condition. Railroad cor
porations spend millions in improve
ments when the saving will pay the
interest on the cost plus ten per cent,
and consider it good business, which
it undoubtedly is.
If CheIan county spent 100000
on her roads, the interest on which
would be approximately $4,000 per
year, the direct benefits to the farm
err, 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 ben
eft from good roads would accrue
to the farmers both direct and indi-
rect benefits would inure to every cit
azen 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, oc-
cupied and unoccupied. be made so
desirable as having good public
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
portion 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-
voIon into comathipo hoyond talk

Spokane, Jan. 29.-L. w. Hut
ton, millionaire mining man of Spo-
kane, and one of the heavy stock
holders in the Hercules mine in the
Occur d'Alene district In Idaho, has
pledged $4,000 if a sufficient fund
is raised to bring the leading await
ors to Spokane. The chamber of
commerce discussed the plan of, hav-
ing an aviation meet in Spokane and
then it was estimated the cost would
be considerably above $4,000. c..
M. Fassett, president of that organ
iZation, said: ''It would be one Of
the greatest events that could happen
in the northwest and would draw
thousands of people to Spokane. I
would give all the support possible
to the project and am sure business
men of Spokane would enter freely
into such a movement"

OPENING UP BRAZIL
Amaxon Valley Rich In Rubber and
and Cotton Possibilities.

Amazon Valley Rich In Rubber and
and Cotton Possibilities
Bolivia east of the Andes is one of
the richest regions of the world in
timber, rubber and minerals, and it
has some fine agricultural lands. 1t
has no outlet on the Pacific coast. It's
only outlet is through the Amazon and
Para, and since peace was made with
Brazil a railroad activity in this di-
rectlon has taken possession of the
whole republic.
East OF Bolivia is the great Brazilian
state OF Malto Crosse, territory near
~ three times the size of Texas. A
dozen large navigable rivers pour
northeastward out of this state into
the Amazon. Its agricultural. mining
and grazing possibilities are very
great.
1t is said that great deal of this
territory will grow as fine long staple
cotton as Mississippi or Alabama. The
Brazilian government has matured a
plan to connect by canal one of the
tributaries of the Amazon with one of
the tributaries of the La Plata In this
state, thus opening an all inland wa
ter route from Para to Buenos Aires,
q distance of nearly 5000 miles. This
extensive route would reach the whole
interior Of the continent.
Turning to the west and northwest.
the Amazon is navigable in its chief
tributaries in Peru. Ecuador and Co
lombia to the very walls Of the Andes.
One may go abroad a steamer at Para
and remain aboard until 1t has plowed
its way up to the bill city of Iquitos
and several hundred miles beyond.
Peru has little Pacific coast trade now,
and the development Of this country
must pour its wealth into Para.
But If Brazil and Para had none of
these Andean republics to draw trade
from the development Of the Brazilian
Amazon valley alone must in time
amount to untold wealth. In the states
Of Para and the AmaZOnas and the
federal territory Of Acre there are
near the waters edge 100000 rubber
bearing trees of the Hevea variety.
These trees if properly tapped will
live indefinitely and steadily increase
their yield. The state Of Para is con-
siderably larger than Texas, and much
Of this state will grow excellent cotton.

JOY RIDERS AMAZE.
UNCLE SAM
PLUTOCRATIC CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN TRIBES SEEN BY
THE ADOPTION OF THE WIND
WAGONS"

Washington, D. c., Jan. 29.-To
his amazement Uncle Sam has just
discovered that plutocratic conditions.
including automobile ''joy riding,
are becoming manifest in several
western and southwestern Indian
tribes, and as consequence the an
nual appropriation for poor Lo" will
be curtailed considerably.
1t has been discovered, for instance,
that the Chippewa and Sioux tribes
are waxing prosperous and have not
drawn on their funds for the past
two years.
Lo Goes Joy Riding.
These tribes include many wealthy
Indians and some of them are living
in houses of more or less magnifi-
cence, and even automobiles are not
uncommon among them. 1t took a
long time for two agents to convince
the Sioux that the wind wagon" as
the Indians called it, was not some
thing supernatural, but now he may
be seen using it for joy riding and as
an article of utility as we'll.
Other tribes are also said to be
adopting the auto, the telephone and
other articles of up-to-date civiliza-
ton. All of which has convinced
Uncle Sam that he had better have
an accounting.
Uncle Sam Takes Reckoning.
Accordingly the Indian appropria-
ton bill will contain a provision Of
ferei by Representative Burke, Of
North Dakota, that may cut down
Los income.
1t contemplates the submission to
congress of an analytical statement
based on conditions at the end of
the present fiscal year, showing the
fiscal affairs Of all Indian tribes.
The appropriation carried by the
bill, 1861, 1862, is more than three
millions less than for the current
year.
