Some officers state that the lieutenant

officers unite however, in saying that
Lieutenant Colonel Bunnel who had
charge of the officers camp, did his ut
most for the comfort Of all the officers
present The fact that none Of the Off
GERS tents had board floors was not the
fault Of the lieutenant colonel, IT is pointed
out, but Of other officers higher up. The
board floors which used to be used in tents
ten years ago have all been allowed TO rot
in a heap and new floors have not been
purchased.
The fact that the officers OF the army de-

RED MEN AT PLAY
Chikamin Tribe, No. 81, Scrub Off the War
Paint and Have Fun

Chikamin Tribe, No. 81, Improved
Order of Red Men, entertained large
number of their friends Wednesday
evening, March l, at Odd Fellows hall.
Rev. w. V. Davis delivered an ad-
dress on the origin and history Of the
order, which dates back of the Revolu-
ton. He spoke Of the Redmen lodge
in Mexico, where for some time he was
resident. The data given by Mr..
Davis was Of very interesting nature.
Dancing and cards were features Of
entertainment. Sachem w. L. Wright
saw to it that all of the guests were in
troduced and provided with a good time.
A fountain of lemonade was served la
buffet to the dancers and other thirsty
ones. Delicious refreshments, in the
shape of coffee, cake and sandwiches
were also served by the tribe.
The Cashmere Dramatic Club issued
an invitation to the Redmen and their
guests to repair to the opera house
after the dance broke up at Odd Eel
lows hall and continue with the amuse-
ment until the Cashmere train came in.
Many Of them did SO, and were in
debted to the dramatic club for a most
delightful two hours.

Comments of a Socialist

Editor Echo: A sewer system for any
city or town is certainly desirable i'm
provement To install a partial sewer
system has been before the town coun-
Gil for nearly year, and to the present
council this question has become a
problem it seems almost impossible to
solve; yet the question to me seems a
simple one.
By connecting the Great Northern
culvert with the Whitman street culvert
and extending same south to the river
and north as far as necessary to connect
with the main sewer on the North side,
the expense of going under the Great
Northern track could be eliminated.
After the spring freshets the north
end of this take-of culvert could, If
desired, be Theoretically sealed, thereby
preventing all odors from that end.
Connection with this culvert could
be made on the North side, from both
the east and west end, with perfect
drainage also from the west end on the
South side. Personally I am also GER
tain that the east end of the South side
can be made to drain into this take-off
culvert, and it will need proof from an
expert to convince me different.
All sewers should be laid in alleys,
if practicable, so that both sides of a
block could connect with it from the
rear Of lot.
In outlining the sewer system map
of the town should be used for plan,
if the town has one; if it has not, one
should be made, and in red ink lines
designate the exact places where the
sewer is to be laid. Critic.

Another Brick Building

Just before going TO press The Echo
is informed that Mike Fitz has decided
to build on his lot on Front street. The
contract is to be let March IS. The
plans, which were prepared by Archi-
tect Sussex of Wenatchee, provide for
building 30x105, two stories high,
with full basement. The ground floor
will be a storeroom, the upper floor
divided into rooms, with hot and cold
water in every room and steam heated
throughout, and all modern convent
ences. The front is TO be pressed brick
and plate glass.
If the plans are followed it will be
one of the finest buildings in town.
Two other parties are figuring on brick
buildings. 1t is quite probable that
one, and possibly both, will be built il
the near future.

Pastor RaaSh Conducted y,
LeavenWorth Lutheran

The Leavenworth Lutheran -arch
was formed in August, 1909, previous
to which time this had been mission
station. Considering the congregation
is not large, the church which was ded-
icated last Sunday morning is a credit
to the generosity Of the members and
to the pastor, who is in great measure
responsible for the early completion Of
a handsome, we'll finished and furnished
church edifce.
Assisted by Rev. F. E. Stern, the
formal dedication took place last Sun
day morning. According to custom
the keys to the building were turned
over by one of the members, John
Koerner, in a neat little speech, to
Pastor Raasch. Special music was rem
dered by the choir, after which the
dedicatory sermon was preached by the
pastor, followed by prayer by the Rev.
Mr.. Stern, who preached the evening
sermon.
The building, which cost $500, was
designed and erected by Speidel &
Titus, the painting and decorating be-
ing done be Woldenberg & Rothen.
A handsome oak pulpit, made in Mil
waukee, is the gift of the Young Peo-
Piles Society. The pews, windows and
carpets were donated by the Ladies Aid
Of the church. The altar was presented
by Conrad Harding. The final
was contributed by the Sundayschool
children. Miss Elsie Anderson gave a
hand-embroidered scarf for the altar.
The altar covering and a beautiful silver
plated communion service is the gift of
the Ladies Aid Society of the Lutheran
church of Jaynesville, Wis. The Rev.
]. c. Koerner, pastor Of the Jaynesville
church, father of our fellow townsman,
John Koerner, presented the local
church with a handsome framed steel

OVER $1,000 FOR BASEBALL
A Baseball Benefit Ball April DIR. Hoxsey
Elected Manager

At an enthusiastic meeting of the
fans in the Commercial Club rooms on
Monday evening the committee ap-
pointed to canvass the town for sub
scriptions to the baseball fund reported
between $1700 and $500 was availa-
Bile for the support OF the team for a
period of four months during the com
ing summer.
Dr.. Hoxsey was elected manager.
The following named gentlemen were
chosen as the finance committee: J.W.
Elliott, Tom Burke, w. E. Moore. 1t
was also decided that Is per cent oi
gross receipts at the gate should be
given to the owners of the ball ground.
A benefit ball will be given Saturday,
April !, in the opera house. Mr.. Tholin
donated the use Of the opera house,
and the Hirsch-Titus orchestra made
the same proposition with regard to the
music.
The outlook ior a good team and fine
sport during the ball season was never
better. The team has not been organ
lied, but the warm weather OF the pas
few weeks. indicating the coming o
spring and the early disappearance o
snow, has had the effect of stimulating
interest. The selection of the team
will soon be taken up and practice
work begun.

PtsHAsTlN CORRESPONDENCE

H. M. Starkey, foreman on Wright
& Days ranch, mile and half north
west of town, received a shipment Of
five horses recently from Seattle. They
are to be used on the company's S
ranches here and at Cashmere. The
company is going to set about 1000
trees this spring.
Tom Owens will soon commence the
erection Of a residence on his home
stead south Of town.
The indications are that the building
industry will be late in starting this
season. A number Of good buildings
are talked Of, however, for the latter
part of the summer.
Hal Stark was auctioneer at our Lit
erary basket social, and made US more
money than we wanted. He is the
right man for the place.
S. P. Beecher reports pleasant as
well as a profitable trip through the
East and South. He is the busiest
man IN the valley.
Mr.. Faucet has sold his hotel inter
ests in Everett and has moved on his
ranch a half mile east of the station.
He bought and cleared eight acres last
season and will plant it to trees this
spring. Mrs. Faucet is quite sick at
this writing. She was not well when
they came over here, and the trip was
too much for her. They have nice
ranch and the good wishes of all.
We understand the Merrymakers are
going to give dance at Gilbert's hall
Saturday night, March II.
Our Literary society will grapple with
the parcels post question Friday night.
jim Smith and G. B. Kinney are the
chief disputants. We look for lively
bout, as they are both wide awake and
well posted.
The baseball enthusiasts Of this place
have punched up and bargained for a
plat of ground containing seven acres
near the station, to be used jointly as
ball park and public park. 1t is a
good move in the right direction, and
we wish them success.
Mr.. Wohler and his son, who have.
been clearing forty acres for J. w.
Sussex, adjoining town, will go to Cash
mere as soon as spring opens, and will
plant 1000 trees on their ranch at that
place. They will also build new res
idence and fix up generally around the
ranch. They have 81 acres near town
and will make a model ranch of it.
We are sorry we got The Echo into
trouble by making statements about
our telephone service. We only judged
by our own experience as to the time
the line was vacated. We have tried
repeatedly to get the line at 8 o'clock
and failed. We rang loud, fast and a
long time, but failed. We are not in
falible. We can make mistakes; but
don't intend to misrepresent. How
ever, we are glad you didn't get hurt,
and we will try to be more careful IN
the future.
Peshastin can boast of one thing
we have doubled our population in the
past year. Our last census, just com
pleted, gives a sum total of eleven in
the city limits. Del Mccoy wants to
be mayor next terml
Peshastin Grange initiated eight can
didates Friday night, March 8. We.
are making a steady growth and getting
the best people of the locality.
We are glad to hear A. A. Hannah
is convalescing and SO much improved
as to be able to leave the hospital. His
many friends wish him speedy and
complete recovery.

eme Court Removal to Sesttle-Wash-
ington National Guard-EIks Convention
Washington at Panama Fair
Seattle. March s, 1911.


Seattle lawyers have not taken TO the
proposed removal Of the supreme court
from Olympia to Seattle. The supreme
court is an important unit in the gov
eminent of the state. To begin by
detaching this department would be a
bad precedent, it is argued, because it
would not be long before some other
branch would want to move away. In
the end it would lead to a scattering of
the different units. AS it is the law
yers who appear before the supreme
court most frequently do not find it
difficult to reach Olympia. Should the
supreme court be moved it is proposed
to erect building for it on the campus
of the state university. The regents
are not particularly anxious that any
inroads should be made on their do
main, as it is held the best results will
be obtained by keeping the university
to itself and leaving all demartments of
the state government at Olympia, so
that it will be the capital in fact as well
as in name.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-03-10

Who is going to officer the Washing
ton National Guard if the recommend
ations OF the Goss investigation are
adopted? That is a question which is
being asked by the people interested
in the state militia. For some time
past this body Of citizen-soldiery has
been severely torn by factions among
its higher-ups. The condition became
SO acute finally the lawmakers now in
session decided to make an examina-
ton. They concluded, after hearing
all sides, the best thing to do was to
clean house by discharging six Of the
leading officers. No solution for get
ting better results has been offered.
Those best informed feel that such
radical steps would not have been nee
essary if a disinterested adjutant gen
eral were selected. From a military
standpoint the competency Of the men
to be dismissed cannot be assailed.
Political differences, wholly personal,
have been responsible.
