n. o. SteChhan Empowered by Commercial
Club to Get Up 0kanOgan-Meth-
Ow-Wenatchee Booklet

H. o. Stechhan, formerly in the
business in Wenatchee but
recently Of Seattle, has been empow-
cred by the publicity committee of the
Wenatchee Commercial club to pro-
ceed at once with the matter for a
booster booklet of the Okanogan-Me-
thow and Wenatchee districts. This
booklet will be paid for jointly from the

The Juvenile BOst0nians

One of the largest crowds that ever
assembled in the opera house here
greeted the Juvenile Bostonians" on
Monday evening. Every seat in the
house was taken and even standing
room was at a premium. And the
show was by no means a disappoint-
ment, everyone pronouncing it the
best OF the season. The theater-going
public of this town are waking up to
the fact that in order to secure good
companies they must turn out to their
support. Mr.. Tholin tells US that he
has secured the "Burgomaster" and
the Travelling Salesman" to appear
here in the near future. Both have
proved very successful in Seattle.

Revelations of a Priest

The Eucharist convention held its
session in Montreal last week, and was
attended by most OF the eminent Cath
lie clergymen of the world. Father
Bernard Vaughn, one of the foremost
preachers in England, who was in at
tendance, caused a sensation by his
public utterances that is sure to create
furore in church and political circles.
He predicts that the Catholic church
will rule America, maintains the Catho-
lie church is the only one that lives up
to the laws of God, and says Protestant
ism is disappearing.
In an interview he said: The emp
ty cradle and the empty church-these
are the greatest problems of modern
life. Racial suicide and religious sui
eide act and react upon each other.
The Roman Catholic church stands
alone in its enforcement of the laws of
God, concerning religion, and she has
no complaint to make of empty pews.
From what hear of conditions in
the United States, the Catholics will
soon control that country through force
of numbers. Christian fecundity is
getting strong, and the battle for the
battle of the world will soon be mar
rowed to the Catholic church and the
destructive forces of agnosticism.
Professionalism is disappearing.
Men and women who hesitate to bring
children into the world because of not
being able to support them are but Of
fering weak excuse for their stand.
This is more contemplate than the
married women who shake their fists in
the face of God, saying, we ignore you
and despise your laws
The feverish rush for pleasure is
leading them to the paganiSm and de-
struction of Carthage, of Phoenicia, of
Greece and Rome. Women no longer
want the trouble of rearing children.
1t interferes too much with their pleas
ures and figures"
He fayed the equal suffrage move
ment, and predicts but one result, the
survival of the fittiest, or overthrow Of
the weak.

Discovers Promising Quartz Ledge

Alex McAllister, the we'll known
sheep raiser of Yakima, is feeding a
band of mutton sheep on some leased
pasturage on the reservation near here.
In bringing the sheep over the noun
tains to their range he discovered what
promises to be good quartz mine.
The sheep made deep trail along the
mountain side where the overburden
was light, and exposed the ledge. The
vein has the regulation dip of about As
degrees and the strike is southeast and
northwest, according to many indica-
tions discovered later on.
Well up the mountain side, near the
brow, the ledge crops prominently, ex-
posing well defined walls and gouge
of tale on the foot wall. The top of
the mountain is strewn with float, or
fragments of quartz detached from the
parent ledge, most Of which looks very
promising, and would certainly justify
the expenditure of little money in
development.
The ore is being assayed at the Ia
coma smelter, and when the returns
are received a little work will be done,
before snow falls if possible, to deter
mine whether the ledge is true fissure
or will pinch down to mere seam, as
sometimes happens. The ore will no
doubt have to be roasted, when it can
be concentrated and treated with cyan
ide at very small cost, the values be-
ing principally if not entirely gold.
The mountains in the region of the
find are rugged and almost inaccessible
except by trails, SO that shipping the
ore to a smelter would involve great
er outlay of initial capital than an un-
proved or undeveloped prospect would
justify; but a roaster and cyanide plant
can be shipped in by pack train at a
very small cost. The Echo reporter
believes little work will show suffic-
lent values to justify the expense.
Mr.. McAllister knows nothing about
mining or prospecting, but during his
annual pilgrimages to the mountain
pastures with his herds for many sum-
mers past he has made it a practice tc
pick up rock he believed to be miner.
allied and mark their location, with
the result that he has, unknown tc
himself, accumulated quite cabinet O
good specimens.

MAINE GOES DEMOCRATIC
FOR the First Time in Thirty Years Repub-
Iicans Lose Out for Governor

By a plurality Of $500 the democrats
of Maine on last Monday elected their
candidate, Frederick w. Plaisted, gov
ernor of the state, and also secured a
substantial majority in the state senate,
while the control of the house Of rep
resentative remains doubtful. Three
democratic candidates for congress
were elected. This is the first time in
thirty years that the democrats have
achieved anything like victory in the
state OF Maine. The Aldrich-Cannon
atyle of politics is the admitted cause
of republican defeat.

THREE MONTHS IN THE COUNTY JAIL
Jungers Pleads Guilty to BootIegging and
is Sentenced

Frank Jungers, who was arrested
here last week on charge of selling
liquor to Indians, pleaded guilty on
Saturday, and was Immediately ar
raigned. Judge Grimshaw had ap-
pointed ]. B. Williams as his counsel,
but he decided best not to make a
fight.
Judge Grimshaw gave the man three
months in the county Jail and warned
him that the offense was very serious,
and that if he was again brought before
him on the same charge he will get
the limit, which is two years in the
state penitentiary.

WILD TRAIN KILLS TWO MEN
And Sixteen Freight Cars are Wrecked IN
a Three-Mie Flight Down the
Grade from Wellington

Last Saturday about midnight 10
freight cars broke loose from an east
bound train standing on the sidetrack
at Wellington, and made wild dash
down the hill which ended at Windy
Point, about three miles below, where
they were derailed and mostly smashed
into kindling wood.
Just above the point where the de-
railment took place trackwalker, Will
liam Richardson, aged 65 years, who
was about to be run down by the train,
made frantic leap from the track and
rolled down the steep mountain side to
his death. The mangled corpse was
found about 800 feet below. Another
trackwalker named Johnson, who was
inside his shanty near the smashup,
was crushed to death when two or
three of the cars toppled over and
piled up on top of the shack.
The plunging wreck next came
in contact with the telephone line,
making quite a gap in it, so that all
means of communication was shut off
and no details of the accident could
be secured until the following day. 1t
was feared for time that the runaway
had collided with No. Q passenger
train, due there about that time, but
fortunately the passenger was running
an hour late and an awful catastrophe
was averted. 1t required about twelve
hours to clear up the wreck, which was
supposed to have been caused by de-
fective brakes.

"E. w. Scott,
"McMinnville, Ore. y

The note was dated September s..
The authorities at this place and We
natchee were at once communicated
with, and Sheriff Ferguson telegraphed
to McMinnville, Oregon, where Scott
is supposed to have lived formerly. But
he was not known there.
Where the bottle came from is a
mystery, altho it is the general belief
that it either came down the Peshastin
or Ingles creek, as it would be impos-
sible for it to come down the Wenat-
chez or Icicle rivers, on account of the
log booms.
VIM. Churchill of this city, who is
also from McMinnville, where he was
we'll acquainted with Scott, took a
search party out last Sunday morning,
hoping to find the lost man, but up to
the present time has not returned.
A man named E. w. Scott, and
hailing from McMinnville, is known tc
have gone up the Icicle some three
weeks ago looking for sheep range, and
has not since been heard from. But
as he has been in there with sheer
before and was familiar with the land
marks, the note is believed to be {
feeble attempt at a joke, or else the
writer was demented.

Sweeping the state by majority
which is now estimated at 40, 900,
Miles Poindexter, bearing the colors
Of progressive republicanism, is assured
of a seat in the United States senate,
and Washington has taken its place
with Wisconsin, California, Iowa, New
Jersey and the other states that have
declared themselves unqualifedly for
the progressives."
The insurgent wave, which has
swept its overwhelming tide across the
country during the last few months,
has carried the state OF Washington
with it.
Only in one county in the state did
Miles Poindexter fail to lead all the
senatorial candidates, Burke beating
him out in the race in Jefferson.
Poindexter Pleased
Congressman Poindexter naturally is
very much pleased at the outcome OF
the election, and made the following
statement:
1t is the peoples victory-not
mine. This fight which has just been
won has been carried on through their
initiative, and the people are entitled
to the credit.
It means that another state has

Washington would do this. However,

matter. There will have to be As per

our prospect of having three progress

Miles Poindexter feels confident ol
his election by the Legislature for U.
S. senator, and states that he believes
the members of the legislature, 95 pei
cent OF whom are pledged to support
the party choice in the primaries, will
follow their pledges to the letter.
To make the Poindexter victory
more complete, the people OF the third
district have named for congressman
William L. LaFollette, cousin of the
famous Wisconsin insurgent, who has

Later-News was received here on
Wednesday that the writer of the note
possesses a perverted sense OF humor,
which usually results from the indiscre-
tions of both youth and old age, and
he sent the note adrift merely as a
joke. The man is employed as a cook
by the Malaga Land company, near
Malaga. He claims to have been out
fishing when the brilliant idea took
possession of his over-strained think
tank, and the bottle was thrown into
the river near where it was picked up.
The statute provides no punishment
for the offense, though the officers are
trying to figure out some legal way for
his arrest.

Last Thursday evening the young
son of G. B. Richardson, of Monitor,
picked a small whiskey flask out of the
Wenatchee river near that place, and
found that the flask contained the fol-

ITO whom it may concern: am

where I am, but l must be near some

but having been out five days, l am

to Desk Sergeancy.
WANT YOUNG MEN IN CHARGE
New Commander Of South Rich

as Officer.

Following out the general scheme
long contemplated. of putting younger
men at the heads Of the various sta
tons, the Board Of Folice Commits
sioners, at it's monthly meeting last
night, transferred Captain james a.
Lipscomb to be desk sergeant ins the

Sergeant A. S. Wright captain, the or

1t had not been known outside that
the board contemplated this step III
this particular instance. but its mem
bers had been considering the matter
for some time. No discredit is paced
on the shoulders of Captain Lipscomb.
who, as private and latter as chief Of
police in the former city Of Manches-
ter has for thirty-nine years been a
valuable and highly efficient officer.
Before the annexation he not only
bore the burdens incident to being
chief of police in a large and growing
city, but he was also City Engineer.
and both offices he filed with credit
to himself and benefit to the city.
Wright an Efficient officer.
Captain A. S. Wright is man In his
early forties. He has been sergeant
for a number of years, and Richmond
to-day. 1t is said, has no better otti.
Ger than he. He has been on the force
sixteen and half years. When South
Richmond was Manchester he took
charge of the force at night. acting
in Captain Lipscomb's stead, the latter
having charge during the day. Ser
geant Wright has effected many nota.
BILE captures, and the bad element in
Washington Ward has both respect
and fear for his name. 1t is believed
that he will make as valuable a cap
tain as he was sergeant.
The board also adopted a resolution
which contemplates an examination
into the physical condition and fitness
for duty of several men
Advancing years have more or less
rendered some of the older men, it is
believed. physically unfit for active
duty, and the board would look into
their condition to make sure whether

in more detail at the next meeting, in

Resigned After Eight Days.
Just before the board met, j. III Cox
who has been on the police force ex.
actly eight days. walked in with hi:
resignation. He gave no reason fol
his resignation except that he wanted
his old job--he is a carpenter by trade
back again. He had evidently found
police duty too exacting and too con.
ming In its restrictions, for he was
overheard to say that he hadn't seer
his girl since last Friday.

connected with the Street Cleaning
department, was elected in Coxs stead.
