Roads Being Improved in This Locality

Road Supervisor Griffith moved his
road working outfit into this neighbor-
hood the first of the week and is now
employed in putting the road approach
to the new Chumstick bridge in con-
dition. Work began on this improve
ment last fall, but was not finished.
When this approach from the east is
put in good condition one of the very
worst pieces of road leading out OF
LeaYenworth, known as the graveyard
hill, will be avoided. If some change
could be made in the road to the cem-
etery so that it would connect with the
new road a still further improvement
could be noted.
While in this part of his road district
Mr.. Griffith will no doubt look after
the Chumstick road and the many
bridges along that road which were
damaged by high water this spring.
The road to the Cascade Orchards is
also said to need Some work.

BIewett to be Active Camp This summei

Col. H. B. Ridgely Of Dayton,
Wash, came down from the oldest
mining camp in the state Monday,
after spending several days there. He
is general manager of a leasing com
pany which has taken possession of the
Meteor property, so long idle, and has
had from ten to fifteen men employed
on the property for the past four
months, putting the property in shape
to begin the treatment of ore at an
early date. Mr.. Ridgely says the
stamp mill will start up about the first
OF May and run continuously all sum-
mer. They expect to employ a large
crew of men.
Some of the best and most reliable
experts in the country have passed
opinions on the property that lead the
present management to confidently be-
lieve that the property will pay hand
some dividend if properly managed.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE MILL
Arrangements to Run Box Mill by Flee
Unprecedented Demand
for Fruit Boxes

In a brief conversation with Mill
Superintendent DAILY Of the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co. we learned that
quite extensive improvements are un-
der way. Preparatory to installing
electrical machinery a three-foot pipe
line will take the place Of the two
small pipes now conveying the water
across the Wenatchee river on a bridge
near the west end of the fume. The
new pipe will be made Of slaves and
banded with iron.
D. A. Burgett. who has charge OF
the electrical machinery for the COM
pany, says a new generator developing
more than 100 horse power is to be
installed and will be used to furnish
power for the box mill which is to be
started at an early date. The order for
fruit boxes will far exceed that of any
former year. The fruit crop in the
lower portion Of the valley is now ex-
pected to more than double last year S
crop. To meet this increased demand
the box mill connected with the big
saw mill, which has the largest output
in this portion OF the state, will be put
in the best Of working condition. A
number OF improvements were made
the past winter, while the mill was idle,
so that it is quite probable that the in
creased demand for boxes can be met.

pany'y camp last Saturday. He says
there is still about twelve feet of snow
at Red mountain, and at one time,
about the first of March, there was
fully seventeen feet. He also says that
slides have been numerous in that sec
ton. They occurred the past winter
where they have never been known to
occur before. Since the ore strike in

Der last, a report Of which was publish
ed in The Echo, himself and one other
man have carried on the work and
made some fifty odd feet progress in
the tunnel, striking another ore vein
with the last shot just before he left
the camp. He had some samples Of
the mineral which he intended taking
to Seattle. 1t resembles what miners
call massive lead-silver ore, carrying a
trace of copper, as he believes. At
the present time the tunnel has reach

D. NJ. THOMAS SELLS OUT
Messrs. R. T. King and J. 6. Debord
Are the Purchasers

A deal was closed this week where
by Messrs. King and Debord take
possession Of the stock Of goods and
the building formerly occupied by D..
NJ. Thomas. Mr.. Thomas has been in
the mercantile business for the past
five years and retires to devote his
time to his large fruit ranch one and a
half miles east of town, where he
already had some twenty or thirty acres
in trees, and this spring set out twenty
additional acres.
The. purchasers are well and favor
ably known. Mr.. King has been con-
nected with the mercantile business in
Leavenworth for the past eight years,
first as salesman for Merriam Brothers,
then on his own account under the
name of the King Company, and later,
for over two years, as manager of the
Id. Store Company. He is consid-
cred one Of the best business men in
the town. Mr.. Debord is also an old
resident and has been in business here
for several years. He started in the
furniture business over two years ago,
and later on the business was merged
into the Leavenworth Furniture & Hard
ware Co., in which company he sold
his interest few months ago. He IS
hustler and will make any business
90 into which he has decided to en-
gage his activities. They will conduct
a retail grocery business and are sure
to get a full share of the trade of the
touyp

Memo dreams for weeks to come.

Memo dreams for weeks to come.
Eleven men faced the redoubtable
Mr.. Paine and every single one Of them
lambasted the sphere. When the
seance was over the score book looked
like a Chinese laundry ticket that had
been folded when the ink was wet.
Out of the eleven chances thus offered
the locals carefully picked six singles,
double, three fielder's choices and
an infeld fly. Seven scores were the
result, of which five were earned. This
is going some and is thoughtfully Of
fered for careful inspection to Wilson
Creek, who comes here next Sunday,
prepared to smite hip and thigh with
the aid of an imported near-Spokane
Indian pitcher and all the star talent
that can be drafted in the wheat belt.
Lee, who pitched the last three inn
ings, still maintains his 1000 per cent
hitting gait. The features of the game
were some remarkable base running by
the home bunch and some quick head
work by Tholin. The visitors brought
one Of the best pitchers Leavenworth
will probably face this season. Cash
mere's best work, outside of Paine,
who is also good with the stick, was
done by Schmitten at third, who is
quick and has a beautiful whip, and
Pants Nagley, the little outfelder.
The latter, when batting, jumps like
a bantam rooster at the ball, and gen.
orally taps it uneuingly. Both these
youngsters have the coming sign on
them.
Manager Elliott, who has worked
hard for organized ball this season, de-
serves all kinds of credit for what has
been accomplished. A frst-class park
and winning team form valuable
asset for any town. Now if Captain
Kepler and his aggregation can only
rise in their light and stife the vain
glorious boastings OF the untried We
natchee collection the local fans will
bless the name of Elliott.

Found Dead in His Room

A man who gave the name of H.
Williams, and Of whose relatives moth
ing can be learned, was found dead in
his room at the rooming house Of Mrs.
Houston by Bill Herder on Monday
morning last. Williams came down
from Dalquist's camp, near the power
dam, about four miles west of town,
last Saturday, and took a room at the
Houston place. He had worked only
a short time at the Dalquist camp. He
told Mrs. Houston that he had re-
Gently been on protracted spree in
Seattle. Coroner Saunders was sum-
moned from Wenatchee and at the in
quest nothing particular was learned
about the man. Death resulted from
gastric ulcers. The remains were pre-
pared for shipment to Wenatchee at
the undertaking establishment OF Mrs.
A. ]. Martin.

Fifty-Acre Apple Orchard

Charles A. Dow, of the firm of
Wright & Dow, Seattle real estate
agents who deal largely in Wenatchee
valley lands, arrived here last Sunday
morning. Mr.. Dow's firm show their
faith in the value of Wenatchee valley
land by investing in one Of the finest
ranches in the valley. Nj. Wright is
associated with John Day, saw mill
owner in the Bellingham bay region.
The firm Of Wright & Day bought the
J. E. Shubert place, two miles east OF
town, last summer, and are this spring
setting out fifty acres in apple trees.
The land is situated on the bench,
about a half mile from the river, and Is
ideally located for fruit ranch, getting
the first rays OF the sun in the morning
and the last in the evening. Exper-
fenced orchardists tell the writer that
the bench lands between Leavenworth
and Peshastin are among the best for
winter apples in the Wenatchee valley.

Comet Can be Plainly Seen

Halley's comet can now be plainly
seen in the east with the naked eye
just before sunrise. The comet is now
brighter than any star and is increasing
almost hourly in brilliancy as it and
the earth rush toward each other at the
rate of so miles a second. In a few
days the celestial visitor will be visible
throughout the day and before it begins
to leave on May 19 for its 75-year trip
it will indeed be a spectacle worth
seeing and telling our grandchildren
about. If the earth's passage through
the comets tail is accompanied by the
same exhibition as has usually accom-
panied the comets visits terrific me-
toric showers may be expected, and Of
such brilliancy as to cause most Of the
world to go without sleep for night OF

STRIKERS ENGAGE
 IN STREET RIOT

New York, November 16.-The attempt of the taxicab companies to break the back of the strike led to a riot this after noon along Fifth avenue near the en- trance of Central park. A crowd of sev- eral hundred strikers and sympathizers attacked taxicab which was being driven by a strike-breaker. Bricks and stones were thrown but before much damage had been done police reserves galloped up and dispersed the crowd. The rioters then marched on the taxicabs' stand in front of the Plaza, Savoy and Netherlands hotels and drove them away.
 Most of the taxicabs which were diven by breakers today were guarded by policemen, 120O of whom were detailed on strike duty. It is said that many of the men will return to work tomorrow, although the strike has not been off cially settled

TRUST
EDUCATIONAL

New Orleans. November 16.-Principal among the resolutions adopted at the concluding session here today of the an nual convention of the American Fed eration of Catholic societies was one of litter denunciation of the administrative officers of the new republic of Portugal and of commendation of the state de- r;artment at Washington for delaying recognition of the new government. Hor- TOT was expressed at the "barbarous in oeption' of the new republic. President Rraga and his associates were scored for their persecution of Catholics, espe- cially their harsh and insulting treat inent of nuns and monks, and the govern rnent was declared to be founded on in justice and ungodliness.
 Following the adoption of the resolu- tions and the election of officers the federation adjourned to meet next year in Columbus, O.
 The National Education association was denounced flor attempting to set up in this country an educational trust as a menace to individual liberty and to the primary rights which every Amer ican citizen enjoys of choosing the kind of education which he may wish to give to his child"

Ethical Teaching

The federation declared against the substitution of ethical teaching for re- ligious training in schools and colleges, protested against Bible reading in pub lie schools, deprecated the use of pub lie funds or of public buildings for lec- trre courses in philosophy, literature or science, urged the establishment of more parish schools and demanded some equitable compensation" for the secular education given in Catholic schools
 Congress was urged to amend the postal laws so as to include within the scope of prohibited literature books, papers, writings and prints which outrage re- ligious convictions and contain scurrilous and slanderous attacks upon the faith. '
 Discrimination against the employment of Catholics in the public service be- cause of their religion was condemned. The furtherance of mission work among the Indians and negroes was urged.
 In connection with the announcement of President Feeney that for the first represented by two fraternal delegates to the convention of the American Fed eration of Labor, now in session at St. Louis, resolutions were adopted express ing sympathy with every legitimate eff fort of organized labor for a living wage, reasonable hours, protection of life and limb, workmen's compensation and de- cent and helpful conditions in the home, shop, mine and factory.
