II had it's origin many years ago
when the barber combined blood-let-

The pole represented the stan which

Of a comforting anesthetic-whtle be-

The four-day meeting Of forest rang

One officer connected with the district
Office was present each day, and in con-
nection with Forest Supervisor Sylves-

conducted the meetings.
The following rangers were present:
Harry c. Blankenship, Easton; S. A.
Blankenship, Leavenworth; James H.
Bolen, Farris; Edmund B. Candy,
Leavenworth; Otto T. Green, Leaven-
worth; Hans T. Hansen, Leavenworth;

Automobile Club Organized

S. P. Beecher came up from Peshas-
tin in his auto yesterday. He says an
auto club was organized in Wenatchee
Wednesday which has for its object
the improvement Of roads turnout the
county. Some thirty-odd joined, each
paying an initiation fee of SIS. A
committee of FIVE on good roads was
appointed, of which Mr.. Beecher is
one. The club will for the present
devote its special effort to remedying
those places which at present make au-
tomobiling impossible. The members
expressed themselves as favorable to
improving the road between Wenatchee
and Leavenworth and between Leaven-
worth and Lake Wenatchee, roads
which will be used extensively this
summer by owners OF automobiles.
The membership OF the club will be
doubled in short time. Every owner
of a machine will be solicited to join,
and by showing that they are willing
to spend some money themselves to
better the public roans they hope to
secure the cooperation Of every man
who uses the roads. In this move
ment they are not entirely selfish. They
maintain that while good roads add
much to the. pleasure of automobiling
they also benefit the farmer who hauls
produce to market. On good roads he
can haul heavier loads and make better
time. Vehicles of all kinds will last
much longer on good roads and the
strain on horses will be less. The
Echo has always been an advocate OF
better roads and heartily joins in the
movement started by the owners OF
autos

Death of W. o. Plat

The subject Of this sketch died at
Dr.. Hoxsey's hospital Wednesday morn
ing Of acute kidney disease. He went
to Southern California last fall hoping to
find relief in the mild climate, and
after spending some three months
there and not finding the expected re-
lief, returned to this place in March,
since which time he has been under
the care Of DR.. Hoxsey. Medical skill,
however, availed nothing. The vast
ing disease had gained too firm hold
on him. He had made his home in
Leavenworth for the past four years.
For several years he acted as special
service man for the Great Northern
railway, in which capacity he was very
efficient. He resigned that position
to become town marshal during the in
cumbency of L. J. Nelson as mayor.
He resigned that position and again
entered the service Of the railroad COM
pany, only to be forced to resign last
fall on account of i'll health. The
funeral took place on Thursday, services
being conducted by Rev. Hawk. The
remains were inferred in Leavenworth
cemetery

F. L. Heidrich, large retail mer-

in the Cascade Orchards, one and a
half mile south of town. arrived here
Wednesday afternoon. He was accom-
panied by Peter Rebhahn, interested
in the Seattle Brick & Tile Co., and
manager of the company's yards. Mr..
Rebhahn recently became interested in
a Cascade Orchard fruit ranch and is on
a tour OF inspection with prospect
that he may become further interested
in Wenatchee valley fruit land. The
man who invests. in fruit land in this
vicinity at present prices Of land is as
sure to treble his money in few years
as anything in this world is sure. The
history Of the lower valley is repeating
itself right here. Eight years ago land
in the vicinity of Cashmere and We
natchee was cheaper than the same
character OF land is here right now.
The land that sold for $500 per acre
there eight years ago, sells more read
lily now for $4,000 per acre than it did
then for $500. Bear this prediction in
