The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-03-31
Lumber for Sale Cheap

The greatest bargain in lumber that
will ever be offered in this country is
now advertised by the government as
the result of the recent disastrous fires
on the forest reserves in Montana and
northern Idaho. These conhagrations,
unprecedented in destructiveness, swept
over 1000 square miles of territory and
killed about six billion board-feet of
standing timber.
The conditions were extraordinary,
most of the damage being done by
hurricane that arose August Dc last,
when fires were already burning in many
places so inaccessible that weeks would
have been required to cut in and
get at them.
One great burn covers an area 100
miles long by 40 miles in greatest width
and represents the destruction caused
by the union of a number of fires driven
to fury by the hurricane. Fifteen mil
lions of dollars is considered a modest
estimate of the damage done in the two
states above mentioned. Over consid-
cradle districts the ground was burned
entirely clean, leaving absolutely moth
ing behind save ashes.
The only consolation for the disaster
lies in the fact that, over the greater
part of the burned areas, the killed trees
still remain standing and are practically
as good as ever for lumber if cut with
out delay. Hence, in order that as
much as possible of this lumber may
be saved before it is attacked by decay
and eaten up by insects, the government
is offering it at an extraordinarily low
stumpage rate. Now is the time to step
up to the bargain counter; never again
will there be such an opportunity.
1t is mighty good lumber, too. On
the St. Joe watershed, in the Occur d.
Lene forest, Idaho, there are 100000
900 feet of accessible, fre-killed timber
80 per cent of it frst-class Western
pine. Every opportunity will be given
to intending purchasers by the forest
service, even to the furnishing OF forest
guides, in order that the stock on hand
may be viewed to advantage. Saturday

Black FOX Farm a Success

The raising of the black fox, the pelt
of which is the highest-priced fur on
the market, is proving profitable bust
ness and has demonstrated the fact that
black and silver foxes can be bred in
captivity, according to consular reports.
Recently Carl w. Faux of Carcross,
Yukon territory, captured litter OF
black fox puppies and decided to raise
them for breeding purposes. His enter
prise has proved not only success
financially, but also has contradicted the
general belief that black foxes, like
black sheep, are merely freaks.
Offers as high as $500 have been
made Mr.. Faux for the pelt Of one of
the black males, and he has sold pelts
OF silver foxes as high as $1,000 each.

Table d'fiote for WiIdfowI

The only hope for the survival OF wild
ducks and geese, in the opinion Of the
government biological survey, lies in
reducing them to semi-domestication-
that is to say, to rear them in preserves,
says the Saturday Evening Post.
In order that conditions may be such
as to offer promise of success in an en-
terprise of the kind, the first essential
is that the wildfowl shall be supplied
with the proper food. The question is,
what kind Of food do they want2
There is lack of adequate knowledge
on the subject at present, but it is be-
ing carefully and even anxiously studied.
During the last year an expert agent OF
the survey visited various parts of the
country - Wisconsin, New England,
Long Island, and the South Atlantic
and Gulf states-for the purpose of OBJ
serving the habits of wild ducks on
their feeding grounds. incidentally he
collected and identified the plants they
fed on and obtained a large number of
their stomachs for examination of the
contents.
Recognition of the importance of
suitable food as an attraction to wild
waterfowl is already known in practi-
cal way by duck-hunting clubs in vari-
Gus parts of the country. These buy
not only the seed but even the plants
OF wild rice and wild celery and intro
duce them over wide areas. This prac-
tice, indeed, has given rise to much
trouble in parts of California and along
the Illinois river south of Chicago,
where the people complain that the
millionaire folk have "hogged" all the
ducks in the shooting season by batting
them with the sort of provender they
prefer.
There are now three firms in this
country that make a business of sup
plying plants and seeds of wild celery
and wild rice to ducking clubs. One
man in Maryland pursues this sort of
industry on what almost amounts to
farming basis The wild rice, as every
body knows, is a plentiful plant in Del
aware bay, along the shores of the Ches-
apeake and in many of the river mouths.
Unlimited quantities of the seed are
easily obtained by going out in boats
and beating the ripe seed heads.

Advising Champ Clark

With the meeting date of congress
drawing near, there is still much uncer-
tainty regarding the program that will
be adopted for legislation. Champ Clark
as the Democratic leader in the lower
house and the prospective speaker, is
receiving many suggestions from mem
bers Of his party as to what should be
done. Some of these suggestions are
confidential, while others are in the
nature of open letters, and those who
submit them are seeking the approval
of the party at large.
1t would be impossible to summarize
all the suggestions that are being made,
but they cover wide range, from the
conservative to the radical. Some think
congress ought to act on the president
reciprocity treaty and adjourn, while
others believe this is the time for the
Democrats to enter upon an extensive
and radical Legislative program. The
course adopted will be probably be-
tween the two extremes, and it is safe
to assume the more important things
which congress contemplates taking VI
will be referred to committees which
will have several months to make al
investigation, so there will not be mucl
precipitate and poorly-considered legis
lation.

Selling Agency Endorsed

Nine fruitgrowers associations in the
Northwest have Endorsed the proposed
Central Selling Agency, and the propa-
ganda is making progress. 1t is pointed
out that orchardists have everything to
gain in the way of power to control and
regulate the supply to meet trade re-
quirements, thus maintaining a stable
market. They have nothing to lose that
they do not stand to lose through un-
organized and slipshod methods that
are today arraying the Northwest dis
tricts against each other.

Rejects Selling Agency

The Wenatchee Valley Fruitgrowers
Association, by vote Of 43 to 10, re-
fused to indorse the proposed North
western fruit selling agency, which a
number of other associations have APP
proved.
Instead, the sentiment seemed to be
in favor of uniting the Wenatchee dis
trict, from the Columbia basin to the
British line.
w. Thompson was applauded when
he said this district, which produces the
typical Wenatchee apple, should have
a selling agency of its own, putting out
travelling men and disposing of its prod
uct like any we'll regulated and pro-
gressive large corporation.

This Is Going Some

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Scott of High
land, Kan, with their thirteen children,
all of whom are under 5 years Of age,
passed through Muskogee, Okla, on
their way to get homestead claim in
the western part Of that state.
They proved to a train agent that
their children were all under 5 years
by showing him the family bible with a
record of three sets Of triplets and two
sets of twins. The family of fifteen
persons rode on two frst-class tickets.

North Coast Welcomed

The Yakima valley is the latest Sec
ton of Washington to celebrate the
opening of new railway. During the
week the North Coast railroad started
service from Wala Walla to North Yaki-
ma and the event was marked by a
demonstration by the commercial club
and citizens, in which the railway in
terests joined.
The constantly growing farming and
fruit country in the Yakima valley vii
be brought into closer touch with Port
land by the new railway.

Northwest a Unit in Development

Rivalry between Northwest cities
springs up every little while, but when
it comes down to the broad policy Of
development for this whole corner Of
the map, there is general unanimity and
cooperation. The past two weeks
have been notable on the Olympic
Peninsula for a general forward move
ment that will build up this trade ter
ritory and give it closer relations with
Seattle and Tacoma.
, A Portland man, Tom Richardson,
led the campaign, which was centered
at Port Angeles. Two great mass
meetings and meetings of women and
children were held. Port Angeles with
a population of less than 5000 people,
raised a publicity fund of 81, 1000
which is a record to make other pro-
gressive cities look to their laurels.
Port Townsend, Irondale, Sequim and
Dungeness joined in the movement and
70 business men from these cities visit
ed Seattle and Tacoma where they were
entertained.
The amalgamation of all the interests
on the Olympic Peninsula for develop
ment will be realized as the result of
this work. April 81 and % conyen-
ton will be held at Port Angeles to
organize the Olympic Peninsula De-
velopment Association, which will in
clude the various towns, and a perma-
nent campaign will be started.

All Fools Day Reform

Instead of the usual foolishness that
attends April l, an Oregon town is 60
ing to set an example that might well
be followed throughout the Northwest.
CASTOR, Oregon, under the direction
of the women's auxiliary of the com
mercial club, will clean house that day.
Everybody will help and it will be
known as cleanup day.

DevOe OutWOre
Two Others

Here's 15-year yarn; you like
yarns, don't you? Itcomes from Odell
Hardware 90, Greensboro, N G.
Mr. R G Glenn's house in that town
was painted Devoe about Is years ago,
and next, this year.
A house, next-door, was painted
about the same time with another paint,
supposed to be good. This house was
painted again about years ago with
still another paint, that processes to be
extraordinary.
Glenn's house, before it was painted
just now, was in as good condition as
that one. Devoe Is years; the other .
years-guess that's about how to putt it.
But this extraordinary paint Is a
bluff; Deyoe is the paint.

Automobiles Make Long
Rum From Savannah
To Charlotte.

More than fifty automobiles made
the run from, Savannah, Ga, to Char
lotte, N. c.. Leaving Savannah on
Tuesday and returning Thursday and
Friday of last week, the party passing
through Lexington on Wednesday.
The prime motive of the run was to
awaken a keen interest in good roads
movement and. to ultimately estab-
lish an automobile highway from
Savannah to Charlotte.
The enthusiasm with which the
party was greeted at all points along
the line, shows conclusively that the
good roads movement is rapidly gain
ing ground. Speeches were made by
the good roads advocates Of the party
at nearly every stop.
The time was when the people were
prejudiced against the automobile,
but, happily, that time has past. The
automobile is here to stay until it ls
replaced by the flying machine, and
the automobile has had more to do
with the building of better public
highways than anything ever invented.
The more automobiles we have the
more good roads will be built.
1t seems to be certainty now that
this highway will come by Lexington.
Likewise it seems a certainty that
Lexington will be on the official
Columbia -Greenville highway, which
is soon to be established. This speaks
well fer Lexington roads, and should
be an incentive to all our people 10
strive harder for more and better high
ways.
TIE endurance runners were enthus-
iastically received here, hundreds Of
people turning out to see them pass
through. 1t was jolly set, composed
of prominent men and women, and
thev were royalty entertained at AE-
gusta, Colombia and Char otte. The
cars passed through on their way back
home or Saturday and Sunday.
