for dispatching has increased the rail-
roads, as in this case, have come to
appreciate more and more the advant-
ages of being able to allow the train
crews to talk directly to the dispatcher
at all important sidings. A siding tel
ephone is sure to be at hand in case of
emergency, as a large number of them
have been installed. The fact that
these siding telephones enable the dis
patcher to reach train crews waiting at
the sidings and give them orders to
proceed permits him to take advantage
Of all changes in the schedule, prevent
congestion and keep traffic moving,
thus effecting economies in motive
power and reducing overtime expense.
Any Of these uses warrants the installa-
ton of the telephone system, as the
savings effected in one emergency will
more than pay the cost of installation.
When this equipment is put into
service the Great Northern will have a
telephone train dispatching system the
entire distance from Minneapolis to
Seattle, with the exception of two
short sections.

come. The object of the meeting is
to give the ladies chance to organize
for the purpose Of securing a charter
for Pythian Sisters Lodge, and from
recent canvass it was found that there
exists a unanimous sentiment in favor
OF it, not one voting against it. There
will be an entertainment and something
to eat. An admission fee of one pack
age Of discarded wearing apparel (re-
CARELESS Of size) will be collected from
each person entering the door. These
donations will be given to the Associa-
ted Charities for the benefit OF the poor.
Many requests are coming for assistance
and underwear is asked for more than
any other garments. Bring anything
you may have regardless OF its condi-
ton. 1t can be made over and make
some poor unfortunate happy. The
packages are not to be opened and you
need not place your name on them.
The lodge will not be open for secret
work. We need your presence to make
us happy. Come.

SCHOOL NOTES

Thursday the eighth grade pupils
wrote their final examinations in geog-
raphy, in accordance with the regula-
tons of the State Board Of Education.
They will now take up the study of
civil government.
The following pupils have been pro-
NOTED from the primary to the ad-
vanced primary grade: Welcome
Sauer, Ferrol Titus, Sern Jensen,
Helen Blankenship, Gladys Simons,
Dorothy Eresch and Margerite Hatha-
way.
Teddy Wyckoff, who recently came
from Monitor, was assigned to the sec
ond grade on Monday.
When Marshall Leonard from Occur
d'Alene enrolled in the tenth grade on
Monday it became necessary to add
another desk to the present installation,
all of the regularly installed desks of
the high school room being occupied.
We are glad to see our high school
grow. Give US more high school
work. Why not add a grade each
year until we have a complete four
year high school course? This school
furnishes some Of us the only oppor-
tunity we will have for obtaining an
education, and we certainly need, de-
serve and would appreciate the ad-
vantages Of a good high school. Some
Of US hope to attend college after grad
uating from our home school. Have
our school placed on the accredited
list of high schools. Then our diplomas
will admit US to the University of
Washington, the State Agricultural
College or other institutions of higher
learning.

Parking Strip on Front Street

Attorney L. ]. Nelson has been in
correspondence with the railroad au-
thorities for the past few months in re-
gard to the town cleaning off and pro-
tecting the strip of land, some fifty
feet wide and seven or eight hundred
feet long, lying between Front street
and the railroad track. The railroad
company has given the matter in the
hands of the Wenatchee Valley Devel
opment Club OF Leavenworth and the
tract of land will be cleared of rubbish
and rock and sowed to grass and trees
and shrubbery set out in the spring.
The unsightly condition of this strip
of land has long been an eyesore to
everybody. Until recently it was COW
cred with frame shacks and used as a
dumping ground for all kinds Of rub
Dish. With some work and the expen-
diture of few hundred dollars it can
be turned into beauty spot. The
Echo earnestly hopes that the mem
bers of the club will make this one Of
their first undertakings, and that as
soon as spring opens and work on the
grounds can be prosecuted this much
desired improvement will commence.
We are told that Mr.. Losekamp, a
public-spirited citizen and a park en-
thusiast, has accepted, temporarily, the
craftsmanship of the committee that
will have the park improvement in
hand. He desires everyone who is in
terested in the matter to contribute
labor or money so that the work of put
ting the land in shape can begin as
soon as the snow is off the ground. He
himself has agreed to give $50 in
money to start the fund. Doubtless
there will be no trouble, and there
should be none, in raising all the
money that will be necessary.
Mark the prediction. Once this
work of identifying the town begins
and the advantage is seen the work
will 90 on until we have one of the
most attractive towns on the Great
Northern railway. The value of the
advertising that the town will get from
people passing thru cannot be over
estimated.

TELEPHONE SYSTEM ON G. N.
Will Take Place of Telegraph to Dispatch
Trains-21OO Miles of Line

The equipment of the Spokane di-
vision of the Great Northern railway
with telephone train dispatching appa-
ratus will complete a total of 2100
miles OF line which this road is now
operating in this manner.
The Spokane division extends from
Troy, Mont, to Leavenworth, Wash,
a distance Of 337 miles. On account
of the length of this division, and the
amount of traffic passing over it, two
dispatchers are required to handle the
division. They will have on their dis
patching circuits As way stations
equipped with standard Western Elec-
trio telephones and Gill solicitors.
The Standardization Of this apparatus
for the railroads of the country has in
cluded testing device which is in
stalled throughout the Great Northern
system. This is a panel somewhat
similar to the well-known telegraph
peg board, but containing telephone
jacks and plugs. The circuits looping
through an Office, both telephone and
telegraph, are wired through these
jacks and by the operation of two keys
and using the plugs at the dispatcher
orders, it is possible to patch up tenn
porarily line in case Of trouble, to in
terchange circuits, to locate break or
a cross to the nearest station-in fact,
to make all the simple tests ordinarily
required on a circuit OF this character.
These test panels have been found an
important and useful portion OF the
dispatching equipment OF railroads.
Their simplicity makes them especially
valuable, as they may be operated by
the most inexperienced employees.
Another interesting feature Of the
Great Northern installation is the use
of siding telephones on the Spokane
division. Seventy of these are to be
installed. As the use Of the telephone

Child a Victim of Parents Folly

Seattle, Jan. 20.-Under a decision
rendered by Superior Judge Frater OF
Seattle, in the divorce case of Dora L.
Pierce against c. R. Pierce-a Pike
street saloon keeper-their admitted
offspring, a beautiful baby boy two
years old, has no name, no legal
status-he's an illegitimate child.
Judge Frater refused to grant Mrs.
Pierce divorce, holding that she was
never legally married to Pierce.
And this despite the fact that Pierce
and the woman were wed in Victoria,
BIC, in a legal manner under the
British Columbia laws.
The point is that they disregaded
the laws Of the state OF Washington by
entering into marriage before six
months had elapsed subsequent to a
divorce secured by Mrs. Pierce from
Albert N. Porter at Spokane. Because
of this violation an innocent child is
branded as illegitimate.
