Means Increase in Salaries

According to the state statutes the
population figures as announced by the
census bureau places Chelan county in
the thirteenth place.
Counties containing a population of
IA, 1000 and under 16, 900 are known as
counties of the thirteenth class. The
statute also fixes salaries paid by coun-
ties of this class at a slight increase
over that paid at the present time.
1t is likely that at the next meeting
of the county commissioners they will
formally declare Chelan county as be-
longing'to the thirteenth class and the
salaries of the county officials will be as
follows:
County auditor, increased from $500
to $500; county clerk, from $1400 to
$500; treasurer from $500 to $500;
sheriff, from $500 to $1,000; attorney
from $140o to $1,000; school superin-
tendent, no change; assessor, $1,000
per year instead of $4 per day; sur
veyor, IS per day, the same as at pres
ent; county coroner, same fees as at

ONLY ONE HATCHERY
Eastern Washington Game Association Re-
Commends Change in Law

The members OF the Legislature from
Spokane county will ask the next legis-
lature to abolish all the fish hatcheries
in the state east of the mountains ex-
cept one in Spokane county, and in
crease the capacity OF the little Spokane
hatchery to 500, 100000 fry year.
There are four hatcheries on this
side, and it is claimed by the members
of the fish protective association that
the cost of maintaining the four would
be sufficient to enlarge the Spokane
county hatchery without any additional
expense to the state.
Senator Myers Of Davenport will
have charge OF the bill and ask the aid
of all the Spokane county members.
Mayor Peters oil Ritzville stated that he
will do everything possible for the
passage Of the bill.
1t was also decided at the meeting
to ask the lawmakers to compel every
hunter Of big game in the state to
wear bright red coat while hunting.
Il is thought that in this way the dan
ger to hunters will be greatly reduced.
A bill will also be introduced that
will make one license do for the fisher
men and hunters east of the noun
tains. II is claimed that in this way
more money will be secured for the
state, as a number Of fishermen do not
ike the idea Of taking out license in
every county and consequently do moi
fish at all.

ENGINE HEROES GOODNESS
Throttle Men Stop Train on Brink of 400
foot Chasm near Skykomish
present.

Investigation of the derailment of
passenger train No. 8 on the Great
Northern, which jumped the track
near Skykomish few days ago, showed
that the accident was caused by a
broken rail. The investigation also
brought out the fact that scores OF
passengers owe their lives to the prompt
action Of Engineers Calder and Graham,
who stopped their locomotives on the
edge OF trestle, which spanned can
yon 400 feet in depth.
The two locomotives and every
coach comprising the train, with the
exception of the last Pullman, left the
rails. Instead Of jumping, both en-
gineers applied the air brakes and re-
versed the steam. AS result they
were able to stop the train on the can
yon's edge. The first engine was left
with the pilot sticking over the edge
Of the bridge.

The foregoing, according to the as
surances Of Mr.. Benson, is only an out
line Of the program. He is going to

as the meeting cannot possibly be a

ance, he wants fruit growers to begin
right now to plan to be present at the

Turner-M Making Money

The business men OF Washington are
awakening to the important fact that if
they are to continue to enjoy prosperity
and at the same time build up the
Northwest as a manufacturing center,
they must take immediate steps TO
keep at home the thousands of dollars
worth of business which is now going
to the East. The Rotary Club of Sc
attic and the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce realize the seriousness of the
situation, and are at work with a ven
geance to turn back the business to
the Northwest. They are taking up
the matter with other commercial or
ganizations in the state. The man who
has stirred up these bodies to activity
is H. P. Strickland, president and gen
eral manager of the Vulcan Iron Works,
two million dollar plant with a pay
roll Of half million dollars a year.
Strickland is regarded as one of the
ablest business men in the Northwest.
He has been conducting gumshoe"
investigation and has found that dozens
of big business concerns in the North
west, while crying "Patronize made-in-
Washington goods" are in reality
placing much of their business in the
East, when ii could just as well be
taken care of at home Strickland has
forcefully called these facts to the at
tention of the commercial bodies, and
told their representatives if the North
west is to be built up this sort of thing
must stop. Strickland practices what
he breaches. Recently he placed an
order for 100000 worth of material
for his plant. He could have saved
$4,000 by giving the order to Eastern
people. Instead, he paid the differ
ence and kept the business at home.
AS fast as Strickland is able to assemble
his facts showing that business is being
sent East which should be kept at
home, he will place the same before
the commercial bodies and they will
take steps to reduce the practice to a
,oiriporrn

The home economics department of
the University of Washington is at last
assigned to permanent rooms which are
newly equipped with all possible con-
veniences. The laboratory, which is
in Bagley hall, occupies the northwest
corner of the basement, and is arranged
in two rooms, the dining room and
kitchen. The dining room is artisti-
cally planned. 1t is hoped pictures
and plants will soon decorate it.
There are three classes of students
to whom work in the department should
appeal. First, those students who are
specializing in other lines, but who de-
sire knowledge of the general princi-
pies and facts of home economics as a
part of a liberal education; second,
those students who desire to make a
detailed study Of home economics in
relation to the arts and sciences which
are fundamental in the management oi
the home; third, those students who
wish to teach home economics, or some
Of its phases, as domestic science.

~ OsS
nounced all wol -.dw in favor ol
Taylor. Just no. the agreement was
reached was not made public; but it is
now stated the King county members
agreed not to insist on the county S
full share under the next apportion-
ment. Considerable feeling has been
stirred up in business circles, and the
matter is being Investigated both by
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Commercial Club. The Legislators have
been asked to appear before both
organizations and explain.
The women who protested to Presi-
dent Taft against the possible appoint
ment OF ex-senator George Turner to
succeed the late Edward Whitson as
United States district judge, were i'll
advised and hasty in their action, ac-
cording to friends Of the former senator.
Years ago, when Turner was an associ-
ate justice of the old territorial district
court he concured in an opinion of the
chief justice to the effect that the law
then on tbe statute books giving the
women the right to vote was unconsti-
tutional. For this reason number Of
women who were prominent in the re-
Gently successful suffrage campaign
joined in protest to the president
when Senator Turner'S name was sug
gested for the now vacant judgeship.
The fact is the old decision taking
the ballot from the women was based
on purely legal points. The abstract
question as to whether women ought or
ought not to be given the ballot was
not at issue, and SO far as any one
knows Senator Turner may have been
strongly In tavor OF equal sunrage. Mr.
Turner is one of the few men in this
state whose reputation is international.
AS member Of the Alaska Boundary
Commission and the Hague Tribunal
he has given signal service to the coun-
try and to the world.
The judgeship, by the way, was Of
fered to Senator Wesley L. Jones the
other day; but as Jones had previously
declared he would not have the place,
the offer was purely complimentary.
Had Jones been inclined to accept it
is doubtful if the offer would have been
made.

In the past few months the Great
Northern railway has, according to a
report Of A. w. Perley, inspector of
tracks, filed with the railroad commits
sion, and which has just become a
public document, carried out every
suggestion made by tha railroad com
mission at a conference held several
months ago with James J. Hill and
other officials Of the Great Northern
system.
The members Of the railroad com
mission express themselves as being
much gratifed with the showing made
as to the improved facilities for safe
guarding the travelling public and the
fact that the report shows during the
inspection trip just completed, cover
ing the entire line between Spokane
and Seattle, Mr.. Perley found no defects
Of equipment which he could criticise.
The report shows the Great Northern
has constructed approximately ~
miles of additional snow sheds in the
last few months; has rebuilt and relo-
Gated 2A miles OF its line OF the east
ern slope of the Cascade mountains;
has provided ample water and coal ia
cilities at all points through the mount
aims; has erected modern quarters suf-
icient for housing 100 men at both
ends Of the Cascade tunnel, and has at
Wellington installed a corps Of train
dispatchers and a coal bunker.

A plan for collective bargaining in
selling the fruit crop Of the Northwest

papers in the state (not in The Echo
last week that the state tax commission
had asked Governor Hay to recommend
the repeal Of the law exampting moneys

commission heartily favors the Easter

ing its repeal. Commissioner T. A.

the great benefit OF the people of the
state, and its provisions should at all
times be strictly enforced.
