Carr-Sparks
1 am the town OF Leavenworth.

Mr.. Harry E. Carr and Miss Mamie
Sparks were joined in wedlock at
Kalama last Tuesday evening at the
nome Of Mrs. George Kalahan,
a sister of the bride, in the presence Of
relatives, Rev. Meyer, of the Congrega-
tional church officiating. Mr.. and Mrs.
Carr will return to Leavenworth Sunday
morning where they will make their
permanent home.
Mr.. Carr has been a resident oil
Leavenworth for the past nine years,
coming here from Clinton, Iowa. He
is member OF the Leavenworth Mer-
camille company and is a large real es-
tate owner in this valley. The bride
has lived here for the past five years
and is highly esteemed by large cir
Gle OF friends.

Will Roosevelt Be the Political Savior!

The possibility Of Theodore Roose-
welt being a receptive candidate for the
republican nomination for president
next June upsets a lot Of political cal
culations. Notwithstanding some people
are wont to refer to him as political
corpse, he has the largest and most in
fuential following OF any man living.
II it becomes known that he will ac-
cept a nomination he will, in all hui
man probability, be nominated. The
man who said that Theodore Roosevelt
is the only man who can save the re-
publican party from defeat at the next
election knew what he was talking
about. With Mr.. Taft as the candidate
the party is certainly doomed to defeat.
So certain is this that the men who are
trying to force Mr.. Taft on the party
are suspected Of political insincerity.
Roosevelt and Hadley, Of Missouri,
would make a winning ticket.

We Need To Do Some Publicity Work

The future of town, its material
progress and development, rests largely
with the people who make up the COM
munity. A town may have ever so
many natural advantages and yet if its
own citizens have not faith in its future
and make that faith manifest by pre-
senting those advantages to the world
and inviting men with capital to come
and investigate and help US develop
our natural resources, of what benefit
are they2 We have several thousand
acres of as fertile land as can be found
anywhere, every ten acres of which will
support family, fact which is beyond
dispute. What have we done as a
community to bring this fact to the
knowledge of the man who wants just
such an opportunity Is it not to our
individual and collective interest to get
busy1
In the race of progress fand devel-
opment those towns win that go out
after what they want. Go after it per-
sistently, with a fixed purpose. There
are openings for factories here. There
is all abundance Of the best and cheap
est power right at our doors. Has any
thing been done to bring this fact home
to the men who are engaged in manu-
facturing2 Men who are looking for
opportunities of this character 60 right
by our doors to the towns that have
made their advantages known.
If we would make the best use OF
those natural advantages which abound
here we must get together and do some
publicity work. The fact that right
here can yet be had some OF the same
kind OF land that few miles down the
valley sells for two and three thousand
dollars per acre for that many hundred
dollars per acre. Those who believe
in progress and development can not
hold back because some people are so
short sighted that they oppose inviting
emigration because it will result in
raising the price of land and increase
taxes. This community cannot afford
to let the men who still go to mill with
a rock in one end of the sack to bal
ance the half bushel of corn in the
other end, set the pace.

THE CASCADE ORCHARDS
Large Body of Fruit nd--500 Acres
Set to Fruit Trees

A body OF land variously estimated
at twelve to fifreen hundred acres, ly-
ing one and half miles south of town,
in the valley OF the Icicle river, five
hundred acres OF which is set to apple
trees, many Of which CAME into bearing
this year, gave convincing evidence OF
the adaptibility of land in the upper
Wenatchee valley for the growing OF
commercial apples. In all about one
carload OF apples was shipped from this
district to the Seattle market. Ten
Seattle merchants and professional men
own orchard tracts in this fruit section.
Many Of the pieces are in high state
OF cultivation. Some handsome ranch
houses have been built in the past few
years. AS failure of the apple crop is
unknown in this valley the owners con-
fdently expect between five and ten
cars OF apples off the orchards the com.
ing season.

QUINCY VALLEY IRRIGATION PROJECT
Involves the Expenditure Of $5,OOOOOO and Will Water
Half Million Acres

equal in fertility to any land on earth,
only requiring water to make every acre
enormously productive every year. 1t
is to large a body OF fine land to re-
main practically out OF use for long.
Land of equal value is getting too scarce.
1t must and will be made to yield food
products for our rapidly increasing pop
ulation. The irrigation cost Of the
land will approximate SIS per acre and
can be sold for 500 to $50 per acre,
with a perpetual water right.
What 1t Means to LeavenwOrth
First, it means the expenditure of at
least three million dollars in the build
ing of the great dam which is located
within fifteen miles Of this place. II
will be under construction six or eight
years. 1t will make productive and
profitable several thousand acres of land
tributary to Leavenworth. 1t will force
the building of large cement plant
which is under contemplation by the
Onyx Marble company, owner of a
large deposit Of high grade marble four
teen miles from here and near the line
Of the canal. About fifty thousand car
loads of Portland cement will be need
ed to build the dam, line the coal and
construct the tunnel. The Wenatchee
Valley Northern will have to be ex-
tended and will be taxed to its trans
portation capacity in hauling material.
The direct and indirect merits of the
building OF this great irrigation canal
to Leavenworth will be great, and OF
itself will add five thousand to the pop
ulation of the town and valley sur
sounding it.

Better To Pull Together Than Pull Apar|

If you think the Echo does its best
for the upbuilding and development OF
Leavenworth and the surrounding
country give it your encouraging sup
port. OF course there are those who
could do better. If the editor of the
Echo was strong minded, like some
editors Of whom he wots, he might do
better, but it is modestly urged that
this paper be judged according to its
deserts. If the people Of this town can
not agree with all the political, religious
and ethical vagaries Of the editor, or
just how newspaper should be con-
Quoted, on the matter OF the growth
and development of Leavenworth there
is not room for difference of opinion.
Here we can get together and work
shoulder to shoulder. No town in the
great state ofWashington can point to
more inviting held Tor the nome seeker,
health seeker, investor or manufacturer.
Any benefit that comes from growth
and development will be shlred by
every business man and property owner
in the town or valley. Surely no one
will grudge this paper its share.
All 1--we have to do is to work together
for the common good to get results.
Have no fear but we will get all we de-
serve if we but work intelligently, har-
moniously and persistently. OF course
we have our community jars and differ
ences, just as other towns have, but we
should show a smiling, confident face
TO the public, which cares nothing
about our troubles. Nearly every man
and his wife at some time have little,
(some times big) differences of opinion,

The greatest irrigation scheme ever
contemplated in this country is that
known as the Quincy vale scheme.
This involves daming the Wenatchee
river some six miles below where it
empties out Of Wenatchee lake, and
means lengthening that beautiful body
of water from eight, to thirty-two miles.
A canal large enough to float a good
good sized ship. some sixty-fve miles
in length, tunnel under the Columb-
ia river to convey the water to the south
side, and the great dam to impound the
water of White and Wenatchee rivers
and raise the level of the lake 14O feet
These are the principal features con-
nected with this great undertaking on
the preliminary work of which already
a small fortune has been spent. A
complete survey, typographical and
geological, has been made in the past
three years by Mr.. Sacobs, who was
connected with some of the large gov
eminent reclamation schemes. Maps,
blue prints and all other data connected
with the project has been filed with the
Interior department Of the government
together with an application for the
right to enter on the construction. The
The public lands lying in the We
natchee lake storage basin have been
withdrawn from entry. The govern
ment now has crew Of forest rangers
engaged in cruising the timber lands
to be submerged. The water users
association has crew Of men engaged
in cruising the timber on private lands.
Indications point to the beginning
Of work on this gigantic irrigation pro-
ject next year.

That Mr.. Corcoran drank deep at the
fountain of knowledge is so apparent
that to refer to the fact is to be guilty
of supererogation. If the editor Of The
Echo loses by comparison with him it
is at least not reprehensible. He tim
idly declines, tho, to his ideas Of
conducting a newspaper from this
modern Gamaliel. He suspects he
might repeat the folly Of him who went
to the goats house to get wool.

This Weeks Echo is Sufficient Answer

Mr.. Corcoran said last week: The
editor of The Echo is suffering from
mental decay and it is only question
of short time until he becomes en-
tirely non compos mentis. Whatever
that means) and his present mental
condition is such that he is iresponsi-
BILE and consequently not accountable
for his actions. The poor, old man is
more deserving Of pity than censure."
This weeks Echo is the only answer
that will be made to his fatulent
Incubation.

WOMAN.
OUR LIVES.

One of the mysteries of life is
that pain and glorious JOY are
quite reconcilable. No man ever
does a thing that makes him
smart In the doing and yet is
right that he does not have the
testimony of his reason and con-
science that 1t was the thing to
do and is not happier for hav
ing done 1t.
Many of our troubles are like
snow. which. starting snow. he
comes rain before 1t meets the
ground. And as the snowdrop
becomes the raindrop and the
raindrop becomes the juice of
fruits and flowers. so our trou-
bles. though they fall cold on the
branch. melt and carry sap to
the root.
If your cup seems too bitter, If
your burden seems too heavy.
be sure that 1t is the wounded
hand that is holding the cup and
that it is he who carried the
cross that is carrying the bur
den.
When a man follows his cradle

Throwing Bouquets At Ourselves

If The Echo is late this week it is
due to getting out larger paper than
usual. Work on this weeks paper was
begun Monday morning by the regular
force of employees, and by borrowing
time from the night it was prepared for
delivery by Saturday evening. All the
composition and press work was done
in this office. Only such material as
we have and use every week has been
used. AS evidence OF what can be
done in snort time in a small country
shop, with short help, it speaks for its
self.
