Discovery That Must Have Come as a
Great Relief to the Young
Lawyer.

One rainy day recently, a young
lawyer, thinking he would like to take
little flyer in stocks. called at the
office of his broker. who happened to
be his most intimate friend When
he reached the office a new clerk
whom he had never seen before told
him that the broker was engaged, but
would be at liberty in few minutes.
While sitting idly in the waiting room
the young lawyer noticed something
that made his eyes almost drop out.
The gloom of the day necessitated the
use of artificial light in the brokers'
private office. Silhouetted upon the
ground glass partition between the
two rooms the lawyer saw the shad.

Offers to be One of Twenty to Put Up

Publicity Fund

J. w. Corcoran, living in Seattle, but
owner Of considerable property in the
west end of Chelan county, and well
known as one of the most persistent
and liberal boosters who ever made his
home in Leavenworth, writes under
date of March 22d:
I see by the last issue OF The Echo
that there is to be another effort made
to organize commercial club in Leav-
enworth, and hope that the effort
will prove more fruitful than have pre-
vious ones, and if the business men OF
the town will take a mindful interest in
the club that they should they may de-
pend upon hearty cooperation and
generous support, both moral and
financial, from the ranchers of the COM
munity. I know that the ranchers of
the west end of the county are not only
willing, but are anxious, to have an ac
tive, wide-awake organization of some
kind in existence that has for its object
the development OF the west end of the
county, but they do not feel disposed
to take the initiative in the matter and
organize club, supply funds, and per-
form all labors connected Herewith,
while the business men remain in
state of indolent coma. If the business
men OF the town are abreast OF the
times they should take hold OF this
matter with a vim, organize an ener-
getic club, and contribute generously
toward exploiting the resources of the
west end Of the county, and if they do

labors connected with a club OF this
character. OF course, we all know that
an organization of this kind is useless
without adequate funds for advertising
purposes and | will contribute my share
toward creating fund of this kind, and
in order to start the matter l will make
this proposition: will contribute %
per month Exclusive of club dues) for
one year to a publicity fund, If nine
teen other individuals or firms will con-
tribute a like amount, thereby creating
a fund of 500 per month to be used
exclusively for advertising purposes
Of course, l do not wish to be under
stood as being opposed to any Other
method of raising a fund, but it seems
to me as though there are at leas'
twenty men in Leavenworth and vicln'
ity whose self-interest, to say nothing
of public spirit, would impel them tt
contribute, at least, the amount

THE JURY BLAMES RAILROAD
Avalanche Was Beyond Human Control,
but Trains Should Have Been
in Safer Locality

The coroner's jury which investi-
gated the Wellington disaster, arrived
at verdict Wednesday evening in
which the following conclusions were
set forth:
l. That the death of Lightweight
or more persons in the avalanche,
March /, was caused by an agency be-
yond human control.
Q. That the railroad officials be-
lieved from experience that the loca-
ton of the trains on the siding west of
Wellington station was safe from snow
slides.
8. That the Great Northern Rail-
way company had other sidings east of
Wellington station which were safe and
that the trains should have been placed
there.
a. That the railroad company did
not have sufficient coal at Wellington
to cope with possible emergencies.
S. That by reason of the small
wages paid by the railroad, thirty-fve
laborers left Wellington who should
have been retained for the purpose of
providing for the safety and welfare
of the passengers.
