word political, and the student Of
Webster is much edited to learn that
the Grange has ruled that in its vocab-
ulary the word POLITICAL means par
tizan," Notwithstanding that it has sub
stituted no other word for what ordi-
nary people term political. It must
be confessed that this roundabout sub
terfuge is a weakness to US, for many
people enter the Grange with the un-
derstanding that political discussions
are not allowed, and, after becoming
members, they find that fully one-half
Of the time is taken up with political
discussion. This of course leads to
misunderstanding, and the fear that the
Grange is departing from its constitu-
tional course.
Yet in all this I am simply saying
that the organization is not perfect
but like all other things mundane,
frequently imperfect and inconsistent.
There are few things in this world that
the righteous man finds perfect. The
whole course of the world has been
evolutionary from the imperfect to the
more perfect form and condition, and
while things are not what we would
like them them to be, they are the
best we have and it is ours to make
them better. And SC the order Of the
Patrons of Husbandry is in my opinion,
the best farmers organization in exis-
tence. 1t will improve and change as
it is used and conditions demand it,
or it will give way to something better.
1t is but means to an end. It IS
the best tool that we have at hand to
do our work; and if we sometimes err in
its use we err on the side OF right, in a
conscientious effort to improve our
own conditions and the condition of
our country. In some things We have
not changed as fast as circumstances
and the times demanded, and so we
have sometimes to put the new wine
into old bottles and occasionally our
old bottle gets sadly broken. I be-
lieve that all our Oranges are honestly
doing the best they can to work within
the requirements of the spirit Of our
organization, and are putting the spirit
for the letter, for the letter killeth,
but the spirit giveth light

Reforestation in Washington

The first attempt at reforestation, on
a large scale, in the Puget Sound
country, is to be undertaken this spring
by the United States government in
the Olympic national forest reserve.
The forest service has decided to
plant some 700 acres Of burned-over
lands to Douglas fir. District Ranger
Morgenroth Of Port Angeles will begin
the work the first Of April.
The area selected is a portion oi
what is known as the Solduck river
burn, in central and western Clallam
county. The big Solduck fire oc-
cured in the summer of 1907, and
burned over an area of about ten thous-
and acres, killing out the forest COM
pletely, not even leaving, according to
the rangers, scattered seed trees from
which the ground might slowly reseed
itself. This tract is all steep hills, with
a few gravelly benches, and it is fiji
only for the production OF forest trees.
Thirty-five men will be employed.

Some Reasons for High Cost of Living

An increase of 100000 in the
population of the United States during
the last ten years and a decrease Of
about 100000 in the number Of
available food animals is the estimate
made by the bureau Of statistics from
reports on these two subjects made re-
spectively by the census bureau and
the department Of agriculture.

and demand, reduced by the bureau Of

-Four thousand four hundred and
eighty-seven acres of land, located on
Mission creek, in the neighborhood of
Horse lake and two and a half miles
south Of Monitor, was purchased by a
Seattle company last week. It will be
known as the Pacific Timber Certificate
Company. There is some 1900 acres
OF good orchard land on the tract, and
over 100000 feet Of timber valued
at $4,000.

Samuel Peterson, a man about whom
little can be learned, about fifty years
old, died of apoplexy last Sunday after
noon at Dalquist's railroad camp near
Drury. The body was brought here
and afterwards taken to Wenatchee and
prepared for burial by Sprague & Ruppe.
An effort was made to find the relatives
OF the man, but without result so far.
AS the cause of death was natural no
inquest was deemed necessary.

Which?
A t2Lnoh Gun or 1871 Acres. VII

A 40-acre farm Of irrigated land will
comfortably support family Of FIVE. 1t
costs S55, 1000 to make l2-inch gun.
The money that goes to pay for this
gun would reclaim 1871 acres OF land,
providing homes for 1876 people. When
all the guns on all the battleships are
shot one time, the government blows
in noise and smoke S150,000. This
would reclaim more than 1000 acres OF
land, giving homes to more than sou
farmers and their families. The money
consumed in powder is lost to all tu-
ture. The farmer who buys the re-
claimed land must pay the government
back in ten years, so it does not cost
the government anything TO build up
the country by helping the farmer. We
should make more homes and not so
many fighting machines. We have
numberless instances where the con-
sruction of a railroad has advanced the
value of farm lands from SO to $50
per acre. We also have many in

eOO,OO Lives Lost NeedIessIy Annually

That 100000 lives are sacrificed an
nually in this country on the altar Of
ignorance and neglect of sanitary laws
was asserted by Senator Owen in a
speech in the senate in support of his
bill creating a department Of health,
with cabinet officer at its head.
Senator Owens address was based on
the theory that the various health
agencies Of the government should be
concentrated. He declared that with
proper attention to the prevention Of
contagion and to protection against the
use OF polluted water and impure and
adulterated food human life could be
greatly extended.
In addition to the 100000 cases oi
fatal illness annually, he asserted an
average of 100000 were constantly
sick in this country with preventable
diseases.
Senator Owen said he had been in
formed by an expert that ninety pei
cent OF the children in one OF the
southern states were afflicted with the

FROM PINE CREEK TO SCENIC
Great Northern Surveyors in the Field FOR
Lower Level, Double Track Nine
MiIe Tunnel

From a source that we consider re-
liable without being able to give the
authors name, The Echo learns that
the Great Northern is seriously con-
sidering the practicability of building
a double track tunnel from Pine creek,
three and half miles west Of Merritt,
to point near Scenic, on the west
slope OF the Cascade mountains. The
experience of the past winter, indeed
several winters, the great cost Of keep
ing the road open between Leaven-
worth and Skykomish every winter, not
even to mention the money cost Of the
Wellington disaster on the first day Of
this month, is causing the railroad au-
thorities to give the matter of avoiding
this annual occurrence serious thought.
]. J. Cryderman, one of the best
known and experienced railroad engi-
neers, now residing at Bellingham, but
at one time connected with the Great
Northern construction department,
spent several days in the vicinity Of
Merritt last week, making several trips
up Pine creek and taking careful OBJ
servation of the surface of the country
in the vicinity Of the proposed eastern
portal. Enough was learned from him
to point to the conclusion that the
Pine Creek-Scenic route, which calls
for a nine mile bore, was considered
the most practical as offering the best
grade with the shortest tunnel Of any
of the many routes that have been
under consideration.
If the tunnel is built, which now
seems probable, it will be built large
enough to accommodate two tracks.
The difference in the cost of a single
and double track tunnel is said not to
be very great and the convenience
immeasurably great. It is said too
that at one point on the route the pos
sibility of sinking shaft and working
from the middle is practicable.
Since the Wellington disaster there
has been considerable newspaper talk
OF 80 mile tunnel, but the great cost
and the time required to build such a
tunnel makes it impracticable. Every
mile added to tunnel would naturally
be in the center, where it would be
most expensive and require longer
time to complete. A nine mile tunnel
such as is proposed will require from
eight to ten years to complete, and
cost from ten to fifteen million dollars,
possibly twenty million, as in tunnel
unforeseen difficulties are likely to be
encountered.
The proposed tunnel would give the
Great Northern the lowest altitude, or
the lowest grade crossing, of any road
penetrating the Cascade mountains, and
would make it the most economical in
the operation Of its freight traffic, and
and on account of being the shortest
and safest, the most desirable for pas
senger traffic. 1t would reduce the
distance from twelve to fifteen miles
over the most dangerous part of the
road, shorten the time from one and
half to two hours and render interup-
ton to traffic from snow and rock slides
almost impossible.

BELONGED To
COOKS UNION

In response to his telephone mes
sage to Silverton, Colo, this morning
Undertaken Slough this afternoon re-
ceived call stating that the unfor-
tunate man who was killed at the
depot. was quite well known in Sill
verton and that he was member of
the Cooks Union So far, no word
has been received from his parents
but II is expected that an answer will
be received before long.
1t has later developed that the man
did not come in on No. but had
been in most of the day and had been
seen at the Pastime Cafe earlier in
the day in company with another
youth. II is very likely that when
they decided to leave town they went
to the depot and climbed on No. /
while IL was standing still and then
when No. started to leave first. they
decided to board it instead, and the
death resulted in making this at
tempt.
The comrade of the man has not
been found and II is believed that he
succeeded in making the train and is
now on his way west Whether or
not he is conscious of the terrible fate
which his friend met is not known.
Only poor description of the missing
man has been received.

that providing satisfactory word is
not heard from relatives of Behrendt

when state has gone this far it has

The heart is not a bad adviser in

more uniformly happy than marriages
