The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-12-23

Fifty millions of dollars will be spent
in the neal future TO safeguard the lives
of workmen and passengers on railway
trains of the United States. 1t has long
been known there are safety appliances
which would preserve the lives of thou
sands who are now killed on the trains
in this country, but they were not used
because they cost money.
The great transportation companies
prefer to sacrifice the lives Of their en-
ployes and passengers rather than spend
the money necessary to insure compar-
alive safety. 1t has taken years Of pa
tent endeavor to bring about the limo
vations which, in a short time, will be
inaugurated. The death list has been
appalling. The interstate commerce
commission finally has produced results,
they say. The safety appliances have
been standardized.

Interesting Plant Discoveries

An agricultural explorer for the De-
partment Of Agriculture has spent the
year exploring the plant resources OF
Southwestern Asia. Among the large
number of interesting things he has
secured is a variety of alfalfa from Err
van, which is said to be longer lived
than the Turkestan; a species of Med
icago from an altitude OF over 1000
feet, which is already being utilized in
the work Of creating new hybrid alfalfa
for the Northwest; a wild almond from
the Zarafshan valley, found growing on
the dry mountain sides at an altitude
of 5000 feet; a drought-resistant cherry
for home gardens in the Northwest,
and a collection of apricots with sweet
kernels from Samarkand; the Afghanis-
tan apple and special varieties of pears
for trial in the Gulf states; some re-
markable olives which have withstood
zero temperatures and still borne good
crops Of fruit; late and early varieties
of Caucasian peaches for trial in the
Southwest; seeds collected in the eau
casus from wild plants Of the true Para
disc apple, which is used as a dwarf
stock for the purpose Of obtaining seed
lings not infected with crown gall;
scions of a newly-produced crab apple,
reported to be a better keeper than
American crab apples; the Slew Abri-
kose, a variety Of apricot with a skin as
smooth as that of a ~nectarine; a re-
markable drought-resistant poplar for
the Middle West, and a wild strawberry
fruiting at the end of February on the
dry, calcareous cliffs Of the Caucasus.

Tramps Fastened to Posts

The most famous tramp in America
asserts there is a town where the con-
stable prowls the railroad line near his
home at night and arrests all tramps.
AS he catches sometimes twenty OF
thirty in a night, he carries chains with
him and fastens the "hoboes' to tele-
graph poles. He then returns the next
morning with a wagon and gathers in
the unfortunates and hauls them to Jail.
He then collects his fees for arrests,
and is said to have amassed a fortune
in this manner.
This is declared to be the basis of
the system which makes more human
derelicts than anything in America. A
plea for uniform vagrancy laws is made.

PLANS FOR PARCELS POSI-
House Committee FavOrs Trial of Scheme
Being Made on Rural Routes

Members Of the house committee
on p~ostofices and postroads agree with
the suggestion of Postmaster General
Hitchcock that an experiment with the
parcels post be made on the rural free
delivery routes.
It is pointed out that the experiment
could be made without much cost to
the postofice department, and in a few
months it could be determined whether
OF not a parcels post would prove sue
cessful and self-supporting.
Officials Of the p~ostofice department
who have investigated this subject say
they are confident that congress would
respond to the demand for a parcels
post by authorizing its establishment
on rural routes. The house committee
on postofices and postroads will soon
take up the postofice appropriation
bill, in which provision will probably be
made for this new department in the
postal service.

A Millionaire With a Mission

Spreckles is a name made familiar &c
the people of this country in connec.
ton with millions amassed in the sugar
business. The head of the family died
recently, but left several sons whom he
had trained up in business ways to in
herit his fortune, and they have added
largely by their own efforts to what ne
gave them. One Of these young men,
Rudolph Spreckles, went to Washing
ton a few weeks ago with a plan which
he has been working on for several
years, to o the American people
to a sense OF their rights and response
bilities, which they have almost wholly
resigned to the professional politicians
and chronic oficeholders.
Mr.. Spreckles would 60 farther than
this and, through the people, compel
a better and more honest management
of the great corporations of the country.
Eventually he says, it is the
ordinary citizen who has to pay for cor
ruption and mismanagement in bust
ness and politics."
It is the purpose Of MI. Spreckles to
establish a national movement through
which he hopes the public conscience
may be aroused. Perhaps it is imma-
terial how the details OF his crusade
will be planned and carried out; but
many people will consider it refreshing
that a mar still young, possessed of
ample fortune and thoroughly trained
in the school Of business, is planning
to devote the remainder Of his life and
a large portion Of his fortune to what
ought to be a practical and thoroughly
successful work in the interest Of hu-
mainly.

Candidates for the Canal Exposition

One of the most interesting contests
before the present congress is between
San Francisco and New Orleans for in
dorsement as the place where the ex-
position to celebrate the opening of the
Panama canal shall be held. Both cities
have established headquarters in Wash
ington, and both cities have sent strong
delegations Of the leading men not
only of those cities, but also of their
states, to urge their several claims upon
congress.
At the present time it is impossible
to know which one has the better
chance; but both places have gone
into the fight with determination, and
each would prefer no action be taken,
rather than to have preference shown
its rival. Both camps are now well
organized, and they have settled down
to a long and steady pull, with the
consciousness that they may find the
session all too short to fight out the
campaign.

oyERPRoDucTIoN A MYTH
J. c. Stewart Shows Why Too Many Apples
Will Not Be Grown

VIII MOI be OrOWn
Persons that predict an ov%erproduc-
ton Of apples in the near future always
base their prophecy on the supposition
that every tree planted will become a
factor in the yielding Of marketable
fruit. Experience shows nothing could
be further from the truth.
J. H. Stewart, the man who founded
the modern commercial apple rowing
industry in Oregon, entertained this
erroneous idea. He was a skilled or
chardist before he moved to Oregon
and was familiar with the condition Of
the apple-producing industry on both
sides of the Rocky Mountains. The
orchard which he established near Med
ford is still one of the finest in Oregon
or in the world. Yet this skilled or
chardist and successful business man
was convinced in 1892 that we were
then on the verge Of an overproduction
Of apples. In a paper which he read
before a farmers institute held in Med
ford in 1892 he said:
The apple-in this county alone
perhaps $4,000 trees are growing.
When these trees all come into bear
ing, say, in ten years, where will we
market all this crop of apples7 The
$4,000 trees in the Rogue River valley
will produce ESQ, 900 bushels. This
amount is but a drop in the bucket
compared with the amount produced in
Northern California, Oregon and Wash
ington. Now, where are we to find a
market for all these apples? When
this time of overproduction does arrive
where will some OF US who have been
planting large orchards find ourselves?
Eighteen years have elapsed. The
prices Of apples in the Rogue river
valley have never been lower than
they were when Mr.. Stewart read
his paper. They have averaged
much higher since then, and the
tendency Of the price has been
up-not down. The Rogue river val
ley long ago passed the point Of pro-
ducing 100000 bushels Of apples in
one year. MI. Stewards error lay in
thinking that everybody in Oregon,
Washington and Northern California,
who was planting apple trees, would
give them the same constant and thoro
care that was given by the group of
skilled orchardists in the Rogue river
valley who have made the industry a
great success there. At the time he
read his paper there were not less than
1900, 900 young apple trees growing
in Oregon alone. Yet Oregon pro-
duces less apples now than it did then,
altho of much higher average quality
and of greater aggregate value per year.
The crop now is grown on a very small
fraction OF the young trees then in the
state, and in a few localities-the Hood
river and Rogue river valleys, the
Grand Ronde and a few other places
where apple growing was made a
specially and proper care was taken of
the trees and orchards. The great
mass OF those young trees have never
counted in supplying apples for market
because they have not received that
care which an apple tree must have to
enable it to produce fruit for market.

Training Nurses-Free Scholarships

The Philadelphia School for Nurses,
221o Chestnut street, Philadelphia, an
nounces that enrolment for the spring
classes will begin soon. This institu-
ton is recognized and Endorsed by the
leading physicians everywhere. Free
scholarships in the two-year course are
available, and provide room, laundering,
board, Incidental expenses and railroad
fare home on completion Of the course.
A home study course and a resident
short course are also provided. The
school provides full instruction nnder
safe and wholesome conditions, and
opens the way to almost immediate f.
nancial betterment for those who need
to increase their earning power.
A special short-course class opens
Feb. "a, 1911. This class is formed
at the request Of leading physicians
who are anxious that some provision be
made to meet the increasing demand
for nurses in all sections. This is an
opening which will be appreciated by
those who need to quickly prepare
themselves for self support and nursing
duty. An illustrated number of the
School Bulletin, which is sent free to
interested persons, gives all the details.

by H. B. Dewey, state superintendent
of public instruction, among the vari-
Gus counties in the state. Of this
amount Chelan county is entitled to
receive $3,711.67 as its share. For
this apportionment the rate is 5 mills

Summer and Fall
Top-Dressing and Seeding Down

Many farmers are finding it to
their advantage to seed down dur
ing the summer and fall, claiming
that by so doing they are apt to
get much better "catch" than
when they follow the usual prac-
tice and seed down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top
dressing grass land. Some of the
most progressive farmers put on
top-dressing Immediately after hay
ing. with perhaps a small appica-
ton of nitrate of soda the following
spring.
If you send your name and P. o.
address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde
Park, VT, he will send you free,
postpaid. several formulas for mix
ing fertilizers especially adapted to
top-dressing and fall seeding, to-
gether with prices of ingredients,
full directions for mixing, etc.
These formulas have been approved
by the Vermont Experiment Sta
ton and will be found thoroughly
reliable.
