Louisville Ky. July 22.-When the
National Suffrage society holds its an
nual convention here in October, there
will be present as one of the principal
speakers, Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane,
formerly pastor of the Peoples church

from coast to coast because of her
cities.
As Caroline Bartlett she turned to
the ministry and became pastor of a
church in South Dakota later accept

installed and a daily ten cent supper
served in the basement of the church.
Soon after the erection of the new
church, Rev. Caroline Bartlett became
the wife of Dr. Crane, but still con-
tinued her pastoring and enlarged her
field to take in civic uplift. She organ
lied the Womens Civic Improvement
league for the purpose of establishing
municipal house cleaning. This society
asked the city authorities to turn over
to them six blocks of the main bust
ness street for three months on the
condition that they were to keep the
pavements clean. When the time had
expired, the city was so pleased with
the work of the league that it was de-
cided to adopt their methods Since
then Mrs. Crane has been invited by
many states, chambers of commerce
and federated clubs to address them on

SISTERS NOT THERE.
When Marshal Raided ConIey Burying
Ground.

Af'or months of persistent guard
over the little frame hut in Kansas
CITY Kan. under which their father,
mother and sister are buried, the Con-
ley sisters today were caught unaware
and the building was removed from the
premises. None OF the three sisters
We're present when the raid was made.
At conference several days ago it
was agreed that William H. Mackey,
united states marshal, ard u E. Need
and Waldo WOrster his assistants,
should meet in Kansas City this morn
ing and arrange to move the hut as
previously ordered. The plan worked
perfectly. None of the sisters were
mad encouraged them in the belief that
the shelter over the final resting place
of their parents was safe and secure
from any invasion.
One of the sisters had gone to the
downtown office, where she is a prac-
ticing attorney. The two other sisters
had gone to their labCrs. In 4 hasty
moment the home WAS left unguarded.
Ihe artillery which the sisters had ex-
hibited on former invasions was stack
ed in dark corner and the invasion
proceeded without interruption. In an
hoIr the hut had been removed from
the premises in accordance with the
order of the court. But no word went
out to the sisters and at noon they
Were still unaware that the little shack,
Sheltering the grave Of their loved ones
had been removed and that their fight
by law and force had been lost in an
unguarded moment
Marshal Mackey left Topeka last
night to conduct the removal of the
property from the grounds He was
not certain that he would succeed. In
fact former attempts had been hope
less failures. But this time his at
tack was unexpected and he was on
his return to Topeka before the Conley
sisters learned of the attack.

FRIDAY, JULY II, 1911
School Bond Election Today

The voters OF School District No. 40
will determine at the election today
whether $4,000 in bonds shall be
issued to meet the !. requirements for
additional school room. At least two
additional rooms are required to relieve
the overcrowded condition under which
the teachers labored during the past
term. II the percentage of increase
during the coming school year is no
larger than it was the past year two
additional rooms will be required to
make room for the increased attend
ance. But everyone knows that the
increase the coming year will very
likely double that of the past year.
Leavenworth is growing in population
very rapidly. A conservative prediction
is made when the population OF the
town town two years hence is placed at
1000. To get to the point The Echo
desires to make, building with six or
eight rooms, to cost $50, 900, equipped
with every facility for teaching the full
high school course with manual train
ing and domestic science departments,
is not beyond our requirements within
the next eighteen months. This is
surely not an unreasonable anticipation
OF our future needs.
More than any other OF our public
institutions our public schools should
be kept up to the highest standard Of
usefulness. The boys and girls of this
generation will be the men and women
Of the next. Let us give them the best
educational equipment to fight the
battle OF life, when they come on the
stage OF action, that conditions will
permit.
This paper cannot subscribe to the
belief, when the conditions are under
stood and the aims and objects OF the
school board are laid before the voters,
that an appreciable number OF them
will act as clogs on the wheels of pro-
gress by voting against the bond issue
TODAY.

Not a week passes but the fact is
impressed on our mind that Leaven-
worth is attracting more than passing
notice from the outside world This is
due to number OF large enterprises,
such as the steel plant and the marble
industry that are located here. The
former under way and taking shape as
fast as large gang Of men can work.
The marble industry, while yet not
under way, is practically assured. The
Aattering prospect Of a cement plant
employing from one to two thousand
men, and the no less remote prospect
that this will be the scene Of consider
able activity on account of a thirty
million dollar irrigating canal with its
intake ten or twelve miles from here is
quite enough to call attention TO
Leavenworth.

BUYING MAGNETIC IRON ORE
Believed Big Steel Company is Behind Pur-
chase--$t, 4 90, 900 Deal Closed

OF more than passing interest is the
story printed in Tuesdays daily press
to the people of this town. The build
ing of steel plant at this place, the
first of its kind in the United States,
built with the declared purpose of using
magnetic iron ore in making steel and
iron, has attracted more attention and
caused more comment and investiga-
ton than any event which has taken
place in many years. AS stated in the
Vancouver dispatch, it is believed, and
quite naturally, that the American Steel
company is the real purchaser of the
British Columbia magnetic iron ore
body.
The Vancouver, B. c., dispatch of
last Tuesday will be read with interest
by every close student OF current events.
The Puget Sound Iron company
has sold its magnetic iron deposits on
the northwest coast OF Texada island to
Duluth men who are said to have acted
on behalf of the United States Steel
Corporation. The consideration was
81, 100000, and the final payments
have been made within the last six
weeks.
A Duluth syndicate headed by ex-
Senator Hawkins. has acquired by lease
10000 acres OF iron lands in the Comox
district OF Vancouver. island from the
Canadian Pacific railway and ;has been
developing them for over eighteen
months. The senator and associates,
accompanied by Pittsburg mining ex-
pert, returned last week from an in
spection Of their holdings. They state
that development to date has given
tonnage in sight OF at least two millions.
The work is still in progress.
The impression prevails here that
hey as well as the Duluth people rep
resent the billion-dollar corporation,
which is credited with the intention of
acquiring the principal iron areas in
British Columbia with view ultimately
10 establishing iron works on this coast.
Mr.. Hawkins declined to give any de-
tailed information OF his plans respect
ing establishing steel making plant.
The iron deposits on Texada island
were acquired over thirty years ago by
the Puget Sound Iron Company, and
are described as the most extensive in
the province.
The principal shareholders are the
owners OF the Union Iron Works, OF
San Francisco, and include c. M.
Goodall, son OF the late founder OF that
company. They comprise about 1900
acres.
Steel fabricated from these deposits,
which rise seven hundred feet from the
waters edge, was utilized in the con-
struction OF the battleship Oregon.
The proposition at Texada island is
already extensively opened up and can
be worked on the quarry system in
vogue in Northern Minnesota. The
same holdings are traversed by veins
of high-grade copper, which, however,
have never been developed.
