Wanted to See His Mother
Wenatchee, Sept. 81

Wenatchee, Sept. 81.
Editor Echo:
The Leavenworth Echo of last week
PUBLISHED an item taken from one of the
Seattle daily papers, telling of Howard
Blooms flight from Wenatchee that
week.
The truth of the story is like this:
Mrs. Bloom had not been feeling well
for some time, and II days previous to
that time she decided to go to Seattle
for a vacation, in the hope that the
change of climate and a rest would do
her good. She promised the little fell
low that she would return in a week.
He watched and waited for several
days beyond the time, and finally his
aunt told him his mother would not be
back for a another week. This was too
much for the boy. He wanted to go
to his mother and plead with her to
change her mind about getting the di-
vorce she had applied for. He men
toned going to Seattle to me, but did
not tell me his purpose, or l would
willingly have sent the boy. I thought
the lad was just trying to get out OF
going to school. He had been prom
ised by his parents that if all went we'll
they would send him to the Gonzaga
college, Catholic institution at Spo-
kane. But all did not go well, and
sent Howard to the public school here
on Monday morning. Tuesday night
after the household had retired he got
up and dressed himself and wrote a
note, which he left on the kitchen ia
bic, telling me he was going after his
mother; and when she came back he
would return with her.
Howard had SIS Of his own money
which he had given me for safe keep
ing, so he helped himself TO $40 of it
and left on the midnight train.
woke up during the night, and
missing the boy I called up the police
and inquired whether OF not they had
seen him, and was told that he left on
the night train for Seattle. I was ex-
cited and did not then find the note,
so told the officers to have the boy ap-
pretended at Seattle.
Mrs. Bloom returned home on No. 4
the next day, and was surprised and
grieved at the step Howard had taken.
If the train Howard was on had arrived
at the union depot on time he would
have met his mother, as she was there
waiting for her train to depart. He
was returned next day in charge of the
conductor.
Towards broken heart resulted in
the withdrawal Of the application for
divorce. L. w. Bloom.

The Cashmere Record said Ia

The Cashmere Record said last
week: E. J. Broderick sold car of
fancy Delicious apples to a Chicago
firm thru w. R. Johnson of the North
western Fruit Exchange. The apples
were bought for October 1st delivery,
and Mr.. Broderick was paid IS per box,
f. o. b. cars in Cashmere, with no de-
duction for warehouse charge or COM
mission for selling. 1t is stated that
the apples will be used for exhibit and
advertising purposes.

President Taft just now seems to be
anxious to do anything to save the re-
publican party from defeat in No
vember, The republican party is 60
ing to be saved by those who a short
time ago he called its enemies and
refused to counsel with. When Mr..
Taft went over to Cannon and Aldrich
he forfeited the confidence of the in
surgents, who will support Theodore
Roosevelt for president in 1912.

Notwithstanding the information con-
tanned in the daily press that ten meat
barons have been indicted in Chicago
on various and sundry counts, The
Echo declines to become enthusiastic.
1t recalls the indictment of many other
great and rich malefactors, but fails to
recall the conviction of any OF them.
What it prefers to hear of just now is
fewer indictments and more convic-
tons. A few convictions would make
so many indictments unnecessary.

With Poindexter getting nearly four
out OF every FIVE votes cast at Chelan
at the recent primary, the Leader emits
the following vail:
If the proportion of republican bal
lots cast by democrats and socialists
was as large in every precinct in the
state as in those Of Chelan and Lake
side, Poindexter's large plurality is
readily accounted for

Ed Furguson was here one day this
week and said he was incorrectly
quoted by the Wenatchee Republic,
where he was made to say some very
uncomplimentary and uncalled for
things about progressives and the pro-
gressive movement. Ed says he made
no such remarks as were put in his
mouth by the Republic.

Scratch a standpatter and the fact is
revealed that he is opposed to the d.
rect primary law, favors state conserva-
ton, calls the Paine-Aldrich tariff bill
the best ever, and can not see single
virtue in Theodore Roosevelt.

Minnesota replied to the Presidents
Winona tariff speech much in the same
way that Kansas replied to Uncle Joe
Cannon's rantings against insurgency,
by sending additional insurgent con-
gressmen to Washington. That was
an awful reouke when Tawney was de-
feated for denomination in the first
Minnesota district last Tuesday.

Vice President Sherman used TO be
referred to as Sunny jim. Since the
Roosevelt-Shernan episode ii is more
common to refer to him as Slippery
Jim. 1t seems fit better.

The Wenatchee valley apples have
been given the preference in the Eng
lish market over all competitors, and
those sent from Peshastin brought the
highest price. No wonder the price
of apple land in the vicinity of our
neighboring town is in demand.

They say Roosevelt is inconsistent;
of course he is. Then they say he has
made mistakes; sure, Mike. But with
all his faults and imperfections the peo-
pie will prefer him for president in
1912 to any man living.

In his speech at Chicago recently,
Theodore Roosevelt said: Il am a
party man, but I am an American first.
When it comes to the questions affect
ing the vital principles of American
life, know no party" Good, sound
doctrine from our first citizen.

Somehow we do not hear so much
about insurgency dying out lately.

Mr.. STRICKLAND SEEKS
TO AMEND CITY CHARTER

In today's Herald will be found two
legal notices, asking for amendments
to the present city charter, by Mr..
j. ]. Strickland.
The proposed changes in the char
ter are designed to cause the removal
of all beer joints, or other places
where intoxicants are sold, from the
residence districts, and cause their
confinement to the business section
of the city, and further to cause the
II moval of such places from the city
line in precinct No. 1. The latter
proposition would reach all such
places as the one known as the Hamp
Deary place, just across the city line,
and in precinct No. l, the precinct in
which the city of Palestine is located,
and the only wet precinct in the
county.
The suburban beer joint is a per-
pIcIous and demoralizing proposition,
and should be abolished 1t cannot

To Whom 1t May Concern:
Notice is hereby given that appli.
cation will be made by me to the
next called session of the Thirty-First
Legislature for the enactment of a
special law for Anderson county, pro-
sidin2 that no saloon or place where
Spurious, vinous or malt liquors, or
medicated bitters capable of produc-
ing intoxication are sold, or kept for
sale, shall be in Precinct No. One,
of Anderson county, within one mile
of church or school; provided, that
the following streets and localities
are exempt from this act:
Spring street, between Tennessee
avenue and Houston street; Main
street and Oak street, between Ten
nessee avenue and their intersection
with Avenue A; North Sycamore
street between the l. & G. N. railroad
and Spring street; Avenue A and that
portion of Church street between the
intersection of Avenue A with the
same and Lacy street, the same being
that portion forming the west side of
the public square.
Provided that this shall not apply
to wholesale liquor dealers.
Respectfully,
J. J. Strickland.

To Whom 1t May Concern:
Notice is hereby given that appli,
cation will be made by me to the
next called session of the Thirty
First Legislature to amend the Char,
ter of the City of Palestine so that
hereafter the places or saloons in the
corporate limits of the City of Pales-
tine, where spurious, vinous or malt
Liquors, or medicated bitters capable
Of producing intoXication are sold, or
kept for sale, shall be restricted to
the following described territory in
said city, to-wit:
Spring street between Tennessee
avenue and Houston street; Main
street and Oak street, between Ten
ncssee avenue and their intersection
with Avenue A; North Sycamore
street between the l. e G. N. railroad
and Spring street; Avenue A and

be looked over properly by the city
police. The concern of similar char
actel located in the precinct, but just
outside the city limits, is worse, be.
cause it is practically without police
regulation.
The Herald predicts that but little
opposition will be offered to these
proposed amendments, and none by
the better element of the citizenship.
Some opposition will develop, of
course, from those who run these
places, or who are interested in them,
either in the houses rented for the
purpose, Or in furnishing the supplies,
etc.
Both propositions are for the bet
terment of the town. If Palestine
cannot have absolute prohibition then
it had better have the thing that is
the next best-the saloons, beer joints,
ETC., down in the business district,
where they can be properly supervised
by the city police.

VIEWED THE PARK SITE
City Board of Commissioners Went
Over Ground, and Ask For More
Definite Markings.

Some of the board of city commits
sioners went over the proposed Rea,
gan Park site yesterday, in compliance
with resolution adopted at the
Monday meeting of the board, and
the situation was looked over. 1t was
decided that the proposed site would
lend itself to Identification and land
scape gardening admirably, and that
splendid little. playground could be
provided at comparatively slight
cost. 1t is estimated $4,000 would
take care of the proposition, allow the
drives to be graded and improved, the
park improved and grass and flower
plots made, etc, and for the removal
of the Reagan monument, which it is
proposed to make the center attrac-
ton of this bit of ground. The park
proposed to be donated to the city
will be about seven acres, which
many think is ample for the purpose
to which it will be put. Now some
contend that the MichauX Park Land
company are not making a donation
of this property, but their proposition
is practically that, for they offer. +,
a small stipulation to turn over this
ground to the city, and at their own
expense have the balance due on the
monument liquidated, move the Pc
destal from it's present place opposite
the opera house, erect same in the
park, and then pay for the paving of
the little plaza where the pedestal is
now standing. To do this they claim
will take every cent they are asking
the city to pay them for the plot of
ground for park purposes. $4,000
would make all the necessary park
improvements, and would give to
Palestine a beautiful little city park,
but big enough for all practical pur
poses.
The commissioners have asked that
the proposed site be more definitely
and staked out.
