Two Apple Trains Weekly

Beginning last Monday the Great
Northern railway will suspend for the
season its daily apple train service to
the Atlantic coast and will send such
fruit shipments east only Wednesdays
and Saturdays. On those days the
transportation corporation, by consoli-
dating apple receipts, will be able fOl
some time yet to make up solid fruit
trains out Of Wenatchee.
In order to provide ample protection
this winter to shipments of fruit and
other perishable commodities the Great
Northern has arranged to keep warm
cars at the freight warehouse at Wenat-
chez, and these cars Thursdays will be
sent east and west and to points along
the Wenatchee-Waterville line.

treasurer Battles Pleased with the Friends
He Has in County

County Treasurer c. A. Battles IS
probably the most pleased candidate in
the county. Being affiliated with the
democratic party and a candidate IN a
strong republican county, he naturally
expected to have a close race; but he
had a majority Of 526. He said:
Il am very much please with my
vote. have tried to run the Office as
economically and as well as could,
and I appreciate the testimony of con-
fdence which has been given me as
expressed in the recent election. My
promise for the next term is to do the
best that is in me to make record for
my office"

Commercial Club Meeting

A regular meeting Of the Com
mercial Club was held in the rooms OF
the club Monday night. A number OF
matters of general interest were discus
sed.
o. S. SIMPSONS suggestion OF a
whist tournament as one of the winter
diversions met with considerable favor.
DR.. McKeown, from the committee on
Club room furniture submitted propo-
sition to put in billiard table for the
use of members and visitors. This
matter will receive further consideration.
The pleasing information was handed
out that the club is out of debt and
has money in the treasury.
Discussing the recent smokers held
by the club and the interest aroused by
the discussion of practical questions OF
interest to fruit growers it was decided
to hold a number Of these interesting
meetings during the winter. In this
connection The Echo is authorized to
state that the expense incurred in Civ
ing the recent smokers did not fall on
the club treasury but was borne by a
few liberal and enthusiastic members
in the hope that the smokers would
stimulate interest in the club work.
The advisability Of reducing the dues
from two TO one dollar per month was
discussed and favored by a considerable
number.
The vacancy in the vice presidency,
caused by the removal from the COM
munity of Judge King, was filed by
the board OF directors electing L. J,
Nelson to that position. F. S. Jacob
sen resigned from the board of directors
and G. A. DAILY was elected in his
place.
There seemed to be universal de-
sire that a more general use Of the club
rooms be made by the public.
Secretary Gangler read letter from
Great Northern Emigration Agent
Leedy acknowledging receipt of book
lets of Upper Wenatchee Valley, "
and a lot Of advertising blotters sent
him by the Leavenworth Commercial
Club, in which he praised the neatness
of the work and asked that more adver-
tising matter be sent to him.
The Press and Printing Committee
decided to have some stationery made
for the use OF members and visitors.

Protecting Natural Resources

No interference from the federal gov
eminent is needed to protect the
water power sites of Oregon. This
state has recognized the fact that the
title OF such natural resources should
remain with the people, and so instead
Of granting perpetual right for private
control a lease is given at an annual
rental for 40 years. At the end OF this
period il reverts to the people. Had
this plan been adopted years ago by al
the states, the revenve would have beer
largely provided to run the state gov
ernments.

The results of the local option cleo
tions which were held in many cities
and counties in this state at the same
time as the general election, were more
or less evenly divided betweet the
"wets" and the "drys." The most
important result was the decision OF
two large cities, Everett and Belling-
ham. to 90 dry. This will give the
people Of the state a chance to get a
close view of the workings Of prohibi-
ton in cities. II, after two years with
out saloons, Everett and Bellingham
are satisfied and continue dry, they will
have proved much which the drys"
have contended. On the other hand,
if the effort to dry up these cities re-
suits in blind pigs, violations OF law,
police graft and increased drunkenness,
the vets will be able to say i told
YOU So" Among the smaller cities
the result was divided, few dry towns
going wet again, several wet towns vot-
ing dry, while good many decided to
remain as they are.

.LEAvFNWORTH LECTURE COURSE
Opening Entertainment Tonight by the Ger
trude Goodwin Miller Concert
Company

Through the enterprise Of the local
school board, or individual members
thereof, Leavenworth is to have this
winter a series Of high-class entertain
ments, such as has seldom been given
here. Three evenings have been filled.
These include the. Gertrude Miller
Concert Company tonight; John B.
Ratio on December ., and Opie Read
January II. Others may be provided
if the financial loss on the three should
not be too great.
The promoters are individually liable
for about $3.50 for these three enter
tainments. 1t remains for the citizens
of Leavenworth to be liberal in the
purchase Of season tickets and single
admissions, and encourage the promot-
ers to bring other refined entertainers
here.
The first of the series is to be given
tonight by the Gertrude Goodwin Miller
Concert Company, consisting OF four
artists, all stars in their lines.
Through her marvellous insight into
literature, and her equally marvellous
presentation of it, the art of Miss Miller
touches life in a way to make it deeper
and sweeter. There is to reader be-
fore the American public today who
has greater dramatic power than Miss
Miller. Add to this talent charming
personality, fine intellect, a splendid
voice, and that rare magnetic quality
which is not to be taught in schools,
and you will understand why it is she
never fails to captivate her audience.
Miss Miller's supporting company
comprises three remarkable artists.
Miss Edna Bentz, pianist, is a musical
genius. From a mere child of 5 years,
when she appeared in public with as
tonishing success, to the present time
all who have had the opportunity to
hear and know her have sat under her
spell with wonder.
Ralf Hammer, Scandinavian tenor,
though only a short time in America,
has made an emphatic success wherever
he has appeared He has one OF the
greatest voices on the concert stage.
With an extraordinary quality he com
bines exceptional timbre peculiar to
some Of the great singers of the North.
AS fitting associate Of these artists,
is Josef Konecny, Bohemian violinist.
He was born in Vienna, and when a
mere lad developed passionate love
for his favorite instrument. Konecny
plays himself into the heart of every
listener, old and young. The deft
effects, soul-reaching combinations and
beautiful melodies, devised no one
knows how, find expression through
the bow Of this young Bohemian.
Season or single tickets may be pur-
chased at Koerner's pharmacy.

POSTOfFICE OUT OF POLITICS
President VIII Recommend Civil Service
Examinations for 10000
POStmasterS

Examinations tor 4O,OOO
Postmasters
President w. H. Taft will this win
ter inaugurate a change in the busi-
ness management OF the executive
end Of the nations affairs, which
promises to be revolutionary and at
the same time strengthen his chance
for denomination and reelection in 1912.
At the coming session Of congress the
President will recommend Postmaster
General Hitchcock's pet scheme, the
placing Of second and third class post
masters under civil service. The recon-
mendation will be made in one Of sew
eral messages Mr.. TAFT will send to
Congress, after which he will use every
ounce Of influence at his command to
get the measures thru the House and
Senate.
This will be but the forerunner Of a
greater change in the management of
the executive department Of the govern
ment and what friends of the president
believe will be political coup.
II president Taft is successful in
having congress place the 10000 or
more second and third class postmasters
under civil service, he will Immediately
take steps to have all collectors OF Gus
toms and internal revenue placed on
the permanent rolls of the government.
This would mean the taking away Of
every bit Of patronage senators and rep
resentatives now possess. Mr.. TAFT
admits il is almost revolutionary, and
before the members of congress let 60
of any of it they will put up hard
fight.
Mr.. Taft wants to accomplish this
change, an economic change, as he
calls it, before the time Of selecting
delegates to the next national Repub-
lican convention rolls around.
It is figured that if the members OF
the present House and Senate fail to act
on his recommendations for the placing
OF most Of the patronage Offices under
civil service the next House will. 1t
is figured that with a presidential cleo
ton but two years off and the people
OF the country talking and demanding
conservation OF everything, even in
federal expenditures, even Democratic
house would certainly pass measure
such as he will recommend.
President Taft and Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock have reached an agree
ment on the recommendations regard
ing a change in the second class post
age rates as affecting magazines and
other periodicals.
Mr.. Taft will recommend that the
magazines be required to pay the pre-
sent rate of / cent a pound on all read
ing matter and much higher rate to
be determined later, on the advertising
pages. Each magazine will be required
to send copy Of its current issue to
the postofice department each week or
month, as the case may be. There the
publication will be dissected. The read
ing matter and the advertising sections
will be separately weighed and the
amount Of postage computed by the
number of magazines sent out.
Newspapers will not be affected.
The average haul of the newspaper is
but 800 miles, while the avarage haul
of the magazine is HOO miles.

NEWS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Victory of the Women 1 Criminal Libel Law
Local Option in Cities-Unique
Railroad Exhibit

When it was known election night
that woman suffrage had carried the
state by a wide margin, Mrs. Emma
Smith DeVoe, president Of the Wash
ington Equal Suffrage Association,
stated in a local interview that the
women Of Washington had assumed a
great responsibility, and that it is now
their duty to prove by thoughtful use
of the power which has been given
them that the men acted wisely in ex-
tending to them the suffrage. Later
Mrs. Devoe expressed, on behalf of the
women of the state, their thanks to the
friends who aided them in the suffrage
campaign, especially to the press Of
the state, which proved friendly in
most cases, and always at least willing
to publish the facts about the suffrage
campaign.
For two years the women Of the state
fought a clean, consistent battle, pre-
pairing for the decision Of November 8.
No possible influence that could help
them was overlooked, and there was no
organized opposition to equal suffrage,
but the established prejudices and Gus
toms were so strong that not until
few months before the finish was there
much confidence that the women would
win, 1t then gradually became appar-
ent that their efforts had not been futile.
Politicians who had previously held
aloof came running to the suffrage band
wagon, and the windup of the two-year
campaign found the women almost GER
tain Of the victory they were to achieve.

One Of the first convictions for Grim
inal libel secured in this state in recent
years was recorded in Seattle November
8; but not against Washington editor.
John c. Piver, editor and publisher OF
the Underwriters Report, of San Fran
cisco, was the man accused, the North
western Mutual Fire Association OF
Seattle having secured his arrest while
he was on a visit to Seattle. Piver was
convicted of libel for publishing an
article criticizing the local insurance
company with regard to the payment
of an insurance claim. Justice Brown
imposed fine of $500, and Piver ap-
pealed. A civil suit for $4,000 dam
ages was also instigated against Piver.
Very few convictions for criminal libel
have ever been secured in Washington,
the law requiring strict proof both OF
the untruthfulness and the malace in
tent in an article on which such an
article is based.
