An Industrial Edition of the Echo

Some time during the latter part OF
this month The Echo will issue special
edition of from % to SO pages, profuSely
illustrated, printed on book paper, with
a handsomely illuminated cover AS
at present lined up the edition will con-
sis of S 900 copies, which may, how
ever. be increased. The edition will
be distributed at the Spokane fair, at
the St Paul Land Show and the Chicago
Land Show, in addition to which hun
dreds of copies will be sent through
the mail to friends and relatives in the
East, Middle West and South by the
residents of this town.
An effort will be made to place be-
fore the world the advantages which
this portion of the Wenatchee valley
has to offer the homeseeker, the inves-
tor and the man who wants to engage
in some manufacturing enterprise, in
plain truthful language; 1t will tell of
the fruit raising in this section and the
possibilities of its extension; it will tell
of the manufacturing plants established,
the pay roll and the possibilities for
others. Few towns in the state have
more and greater advantages to offer
than Leavenworth. 1t is not necessary
to indulge in exaggeration. The plain,
simple truth is quite enough. This we
propose to present to the public thru
the medium of a special edition, to
which we ask the generous support OF
the business men or the town,

At Work on the South Side Road

William Stage, of Peshastin, came
here yesterday to take train for Mt.
Vernon, Washington, where he owns a
farm in the Skagit valley which is sown
to oats and which is now ready for the
reaper.
Speaking of the south side road
which he said he with many others was
pleased to learn would be built at
once, he said the contractor who has
the rock bluff work on the Wenatchee
river moved into camp Wednesday
evening and went to work with
a small crew of men yesterday. The
contractor says he will have the rock
work completed in thirty days.

Flooding Lake Basin Does Not Worry Him

George Siverly, one Of the pioneer
residents of the Wenatchee Lake region
was in town Thursday trading. Speak
ing of the Quincy flats irrigation scheme
in which the residents Of the lake are
much interested because their lands
will be submerged should the lake be
used as storage basin, of which there
is little doubt, though the time when
the land will be under water is so re-
mote, says Mr.. Siverly, that he pro-
poses to go right on improving his land
and raising crops. He says should
work commence this year on the pro-
ject, though it is not likely that it will
begin under two or three years, it will
be FIVE years at least before the land
will be flooded.
He says he sold his potatoes this
year to logging contractors and receiv-
ed a good price for them right at the
ranch.

Little Talks On Advertising

When you advertise to help some
body along, as a matter of sympathy,
sentiment or charity, it does not mat
ter much where you place your ad.,
whether in a thumb paper, almanac or
on bill board; but when you adver-
tise as a matter of business you will de-
eide to place your advertising where 1t
will do the most good. You will adopt
the medium that reaches the spot you
are aiming at; if you have something
to sell the spot" is the buying public
If you have Matching eggs to sell the
spot" is the ranchers; if you have a
show to call to the attention of the
public the spot" is big, little, old
and young; if you want employment
the general public is the spot; so
there are hundred or more different
kinds of spots that the advertiser might
should, would or could want to touch,
any of which can be reached thru The
Eche, which is read every week in the
upper Wenatchee valley by two thou
sand people. The Echo has been es-
tablished here long time. AS an adj
vertising medium it is unsurpassed. 1t
touches all the spots, fact that the
wise will keep in mind.

Another Change of the Times

Nurses and parents do not frighten children so
much nowadays with foolish stories they did
generation or two ago. Children not terrified
into being good" But in the remoter country
places this Objectionable and dangerous form OF
tyranny still fingers. In parts of Scotland the
bodach still has his terrors for youngsters The
chief of these specters is THE Son OF Platter

pillar" There is almost Shakespearean sugges-
tion about the name. This terrific bugbear peers
in at windows, fattens his wicked face against
the pane, sharpens hts teeth with murderous dis
tinctness, and carries away crying or noisy chill
dren in a twinkling But he never enters house
without being called. The threat tc summon him
is enough, and the unhappy child goes to bed
quietly, to brood nameess terrors in the
dark.-London Chronicle

an exceptionally high grade Of ore.
In colonial days Berenguela was a
rich silver mine. The two ores are
in distinct veins.
The tin mines OF the northern field
of Bolivia are in two groups-Huayna-
Potosi and Milluni, north of the Great
Plateau. Included in the Inquisivi
fields are the mines of Quimsa
Cruces, Araca and Santa Vela Cruz.
The first area is at the southeast
end of Lake Titicaca, In the noun
tains some 10000 feet above sea level.
During colonial days these ruins were
silver mines, but silver now in this
locality is but little more than a tradi-
tion, for the only mining now carried
on is tin mining. There are great
number of small mining properties in
this locality, but the principal output
comes from the French company,
which owns the Carmen mine of the
Huayna-Posoti and the Milluni mine.
The Quimsa Cruz or Tres Cruces
district of Inquisivi is one Of the most
promising of the Bolivian fields. 1t is
in the heart of the Cordillera Real,
which here rises over II 900 feet above
sea level. These fields are about
equidistant from La Paz and Oruro,
but much more accessible to the lat

district is the group of Monte Blanco

higher up the mountain slope. Among these lodes
In the Santa Fe, which outcrops for about 1000
feet, with an average width of from six to nine
feet The ore runs about IL per cent. pure cas-
sterite. In pockets the mineral is found nearly
pure. In the neighborhood of the Monte Blanco
mines are the mines of Barosso Gotta, Santa Rosa,
La Florencia, Copacabanca and Others
About twenty miles south OF Monte Blanco is
the Santa Vela Cruz field. The most important
property in this field is that Of the Concordia
Tin company, English corporation. The loca-
tion is not quite high as Monte Blanco. Here
the best mining methods being adopted and
the property will be without doubt large pro-
ducer although not yet fully developed.

Use for the Crickets

The cricket has had other uses besides that Of
affording an excuse for argument In China crick-
cts were frequently trained for fighting purposes
and brisk betting went on over cricket matches.
In Florence, too, erickets in cages were hawked
about the streets on Ascension day to be bought
and let loose about the houses in order to insure
a year of good luck. Theophile Gautier mentions
how the people of Madrid kept pet crickets in
small cages decorated with glass ornaments. Also.

STEEL iron, brass coated with tin, is more suit
able, and 1t is these of tin, as an alloy or
as coating, which give it its real value and its
place In the arts and industries Just as primitive
man would have found but little use for pure iron,
so civilized man might easily dispense with 1t
were it not for it's use as an alloy or as pre-
servative coating. AS such it is of enormous use
to the world and easily ranks among the four or
five most valuable metals. OF the so-called COM
mon metals 1t is the least widely distributed and
the most costly
The value of the imports of tin into the United
States as given by the bureau of statistics is now
about $30OO0,000 year. In 1907 it amounted to
nearly $43000,000 This includes ore bar and
block tin, and some of the manufactures thereof
and also tin plate but does not include the ordi-
nary alloys of tin such as bronze pewter gun
metal, and bell metal, does 1t include a very
large importation of manufactured articles In
which tin is considerable and sometimes the
major element of value.

was made by fortuitously occurred in ma
ture are interesting subjects, but not within the
scope of this article. The fact is, however, that
had pure tin been the first metal known it would
have received but scanty consideration from PRINT
tive man; for except for its weight, which would
have rendered It suitable for club head,
its want of strength and softness is such that
for his 1t would have been inferior to flint,
bone or even fire-hardened wood
The remarkable property which certain metals
have and among these tin is one of the most con-
spicuous, that when alloyed with another metal
the compound possesses a quality Of strength,
hardness, malleability, resonancy superior to
that of either of the metals entering into the COM
pound is what in its first gave value to the
union of copper and tin called bronze. At later

tin has of not furnishing, or rather of being in
