ing deserts, with imps behind him
poking him with redhot spears toward
Hades and breathing smoke and brim-
stone in his face. Suddenly he awoke,
to find his dream almost a reality.
Smoke and smell Of burning wool and
feathers filed the air, his feet were
scorched and blistered, while an in
creasing blaze in the bed clothing
threatened destruction to room and
contents. Only pitcher OF ice water
finally quenched the flames, and in a
cold, wet bed the railroad man shiv-
cred and shook till morning.
Meanwhile the Jap proprietor has
gone to court, to recover, if possible,
the price of his scorched bed be-
longings.

Borah's Postal Savings Bill

Senator Borah of Idaho has prepared,
after considerable study, new postal
savings bank bill along the general
lines approved by the last administra-
ton, but with several notifications
which he considers essential and i'm
portant, foremost among them being
provision that saving funds may be de-
posted in state as we'll as national
banks whenever such state banks are
subject to public supervision and ex-
animation.
Under the terms OF the bill all money
order postoffices are made postal saw
ings depository offices, and any person
over 10 years of age is permitted to
make deposits, the initial deposit to be
not less than 81, and subsequent de-
posts to be so cents or some multiple
thereof. Married women may deposit
in their own names and free from any
control or interference by their hus-
bands.
To encourage the saving Of small
amounts the bill provides for the issu-
ance of postal savings stamps, which
may be attached to card, and when the
aggregate represented by the stamps
reaches 81, the card, with the stamps
attached, may be deposited as so much
cash. These stamps will be issued in
denominations of /, and 10 cents,
and shall be sold at all money order
offices. Notation of deposits will be
made in pass book similar to that
used by banks, and returns of all de-
posts must be made to the postmaster
general, to whom all books must be
sent once a year in order that interest
accruing at the rate of 3 per cent, shall
be entered. The balance to the credit
of any depositor shall not be allowed to
exceed $500.

The Publishers Plans for the Future

This number of The Echo closes
the sixth year of its publication. AS
the publisher takes bac kward glance
over the six years of his residence in
the town of Leavenworth he recalls
many changes, and all have made for
Improvement and betterment. The
town has more than doubled in size
and population The Echo, too, is
more than twice as large as it was the
first year it was printed. 1t has been the
publishers aim to keep it fully up with
the development of Leavenworth,
and with unAagging faith in its future,
confidently believing that 1910 will see
greater improvement and development,
not only in the town but in the sur
rounding country, he contemplates the
erection, during the year, OF re-

inforced concrete building, 30x70, two
stories with basement, in which to
house The Echo. 1t has outgrown the
present quarters and must expand to
keep up with the growth of the town.
The improvement mentioned, however,
is contingent upon realizing upon some
fortunate investments which the pub
Usher made in red apple land some
time ago. The profits of the news
paper business are not so large as to
permit an undertaking of the kind
named. Still, at this time the look
into the future seems so rosy that he
feels reasonably certain of being able
to carry out his plans.

Gold Feet, Electric Light, Mad Jap

There are several ways Of having
cold feet. Losing your nerve may
bring on an attack, even in the sum-
mer. Zero weather brings cold feet to
almost everybody occasionally, while, if
you are married, you may find an adj
ditional pair in the small of your back
almost any cold night. 1t is not often,
however, that a person can have two
kinds OF cold feet of his own at one and
the same time. One can, though,
and it isn't necessary to be built on the
plan of the famous four-legged calf,
either. Since the switchmen's strike
started several cases of cold feet"
have developed among the imported
strike-breakers, and number of them
have left town. During the recent
cold snap both kinds Of cold feet have
affected some of the switchmen as well
as other railroaders who are tackling
their first winter in the mountains, and
this is why this story is written.
A trial is to come off Saturday be-
fore Justice Booth, in which The
Tale of Two Cold Feet will be the
leading theme, theme which Justice
Booth can himself fully appreciate after
his daily walk from and to his ranch
four miles out in the mountains. The
trial has to do with railroad man with
cold feet, an over-zealous electric light
globe, and a jawing Jap with bunch
of burned blankets.
The other evening the aforesaid
railroad man returned from his work in
the yards. The weather was cold, and
so were his feet. In fact, they were
so cold he was afraid OF the other kind
of cold feet" To prevent it ever
being said that cold weather or any
thing else ever caused him to quit his
job at Leavenworth, he led a light
drop to the bed, carefully rolled the
lamp in towel and tucked it between
the blankets. Then he clambered
into bed, and with his icy feet resting
on the homemade foot-warmer, wan
dered off into the land of dreams,
where feet are useless for locomotion
and even chilblains are imaginary.
By and by his dreams changed. In
stead of journeying through perfumed
orchards and fields elysian he found
himself trudging painfully across burn

10 Change Homestead Law

The severe weather in the west this
winter has aided greatly in the agita-
ton for a change in the homestead
laws which relieve, to some degree,
the hardships of the fast few years Of
holding down claim in either desert
or wilderness.
According to Washington dispatches,
Representative Martin of South Da-
kota, who has introduced a bill to
grant homestead entrymen leave Of
absence from their claims during the
winter months, will receive the CO.
operation and support of Chairman
Mondell and other members of the
house public lands committee in his
efforts to secure early action.
In the senate measure will be
pushed for consideration by Senator
Warren, extending for period of three
months the time within which home
stead entrymen are required by law to
make residence upon their entries
where the time expires or expired after
December l, 1909.
Under the general law the commits
sioner of the general land Office may
allow twelve months from the date OF
fling in which to establish residence
on homestead entries, but this extern
sion could not be allowed in advance
and does not protect the entryman
from contest if he does not perfect
residence within six months from date
of fling.

Eastern Washington Man for Senator

In trying to compass the defeat OF
Mr.. Poindexter the Wenatchee Re-
public is employing obsolete methods
methods that were in vogue twenty
or thirty years ago, and, for aught this
paper knows, may still be employed In
some portions of Arkansaw and certain
wards in some of the large cities. The
methods OF the BLACKBOARD politician
do not appeal to the voters in this
age. What they want now is cold,
bare facts, devoid of the appearance of
malice, hatred, prejudice and envy,
calmly stated in the language that OBJ
tains among gentlemen. The time
when Colonel Jennison hurled such
convincing chunks of logic as fool,
knave, liar, horsethief and murders"
at his political opponent, the while he
grew red in the face and hoarse of
voice, is past Those methods belong
to another and past age. The know
ing ones address their appeal to the
intelligence of the people in plain and
temperate language. To wildly use
such incorporate language about a
gentleman who is before the people for
an office-who was three times elected
in such intelligent communities as
Spokane and Walla Walla, each time
to higher position, and who yet en-
joys the esteem and respect of thous-
ands of people all over eastern Wash
ington-must be charged up to mis-
guided zeal or poor judgment.
The editor Of this paper will con-
tinue to urge upon its readers the sup
port of Hon. Miles Poindexter for
United States senator because he be-
lieves him to be honest, truthful and
capable Of faithfully representing the
best interests of the state of Washing
ton. The Echo is in his favor because
he is lined up with the plain people as
opposed to the predatory corporations,
of which the convicted Sugar trust is
fair sample. 1t prefers him because
he opposed the Cannon-Aldrich tariff
bill, measure framed in the interests
of the rich manufacturers, which takes
from the pockets of the masses eighty
million dollars every year and transfers
it to the pockets OF the wooden manu-
facturers.
Mr.. Thomas Burke, of Seattle, is
also a candidate for the United States
senate. He is one of the richest men
in the state. He has for years served
the large corporations. His interests
are all with the large corporations, in
many OF which he is stockholder. If
elected he would line up with Cannon
and Aldrich. Wherefore this paper is
oppose to Mr.. Burke. Against Mr.
Burke's personal or moral character
nothing can be said.
This paper makes no appeal to the
passion or prejudice of men. If the
position it takes on public questions,
and its choice of men for public posi-
tons, with the reasons for such choice,
appeal to the voters, we'll and good.
Otherwise, it cannot employ the meth
DDS of the BLACKBOARD.
