n. L. Schiller Assigns

Tuesday the doors Of the Peoples
Store in Cashmere were closed, the
proprietor, H. L. Schiller, making a
voluntary assignment to the Spokane
Dry Goods Company for the benefit Of
all his creditors. 1t is not known to
what extent Mr.. Schiller's liabilities are,
but it is reported on good authority the
assets are in excess Of his debts.
Mr.. Schiller opened up his business in
Cashmere about a year ago, and since
has enjoyed quite trade. Sickness in
his family and business reverses have
made him hard run. and in the past few
weeks he has been pressed by creditors.
A meeting OF the creditors has been
called and the matter will go through
regular court proceedings. It is quite
likely the business will be resumed as
soon as an adjustment can be made

BASEBALL ENTHUSIASTS MEET
Committees Appointed to Ascertain What
Supp ort Can Be Had

The warm, sunshiny weather of the
vast week, together with the approach
of spring, has had the effect Of stimu-
lating the baseball enthusiasts to action.
A meeting was held one day the past
week for the purpose Of ascertaining
just how much help from the town
could be counted on in support of a
team the coming summer. With the
fine showing made by the
Leavenworth team last summer it does
not seem that it will require much urg-
ing to secure very substantial backing
from the business men of this town.
w. E. Moore, ]. w. Elliott, R. B.
Field, AL Meisner, and H. E. Can
were appointed a committee to canvas
the field and ascertain the amount Of
money that could be counted on to
promote the national sport this summer.

ANOTHER HIGH LINE CANAL
Work on the Second Icide Ditch VIII Begin
This Summer

S. P. Bucher, one of the enterprising
residents Of Peshastin who has done
much for the development Of that fruit
ful portion of the upper Wenatchee
valley, was in town Saturday. He re-
turned from the East a few days ago,
where he spent six weeks and visited
all the principal points, including New
York, Chicago, Boston, Washington,
and New Orleans.
He says every place he visited he
found people doing just about as we
are, striving to build up and improve
their respective sections by offering in
ducements to the home builder and
We are guessing his trip had some
thing to do with interesting capital in
his irrigation and power scheme; and
that he was successful we infer from his
remark that work would begin on his
high line canal as soon as the snow dis
appears,

THE AvAL ANCHE A YEAR AGO
In Which a Hundred Lives We're Lost and
Much Property Destroyed

More perfect weather than we have
had here for the past few weeks could
scarcely be imagined. Contrasted with
that which prevailed at this time year
ago leads to striking result. 1t will
be recalled that one year ago, Tuesday,
March l, the great snow slide occurred
at Wellington, in which 100 people
lost their lives.
At this time one year ago there was
at least 219 feet of snow on the level.
The Wellington disaster caused an in
terruption in train service of almost one
week. For three days even telegraph
service was cut off, while narrowing ac-
counts OF the extent of the destruction
were brought in from day to day. When
news Of the slide first reached this
place it was thought number of Leav-
enworth people who were known to be
in the vicinity of Wellington had lost
their lives. Fortunately, however, only
one man from this place was killed in
that memorable and lamentable affair.
The Great Northern Railway Com
pany, TO get rid of some of the deteuing
effects which the very name of Well
ington had on the travelling public,
changed the name to Tye. The rail-
road company the past year spent a
large amount of money in building
concrete snow sheds where the great
slide carried two passenger trains, three
monster engines and four electric mo-
tors some hundreds of feet to the gulch
below, where a hundred human beings
were found mangled and tangled in a
mass OF iron, timbers and rock. Por-
tions of human bodies were found for
months afterward. One body was found
eight months after the slide occurred.
Improvements made by the company
and the mildness Of the past winter ac-
counts for the small amount of trouble
in the Cascade mountains the past few
months. Trains from the west have
been, with rare exceptions, on time.
Where slides have occurred they have
been of no consequence, or carried
over the track by snow sheds.

STARVING AND PLAGUE STICKEN
Every Two Dollars viii Save One Human
Life-Fund Started at The LeaVenworth
State Bank Contributions Solicited

The Seattle Commercial Club, CO.
operating with the Red Cross Society,
is engaged in a work that should appeal
to the humanitarian spirit of everybody.
For months past the newspapers have
contained narrowing accounts of the
plague stricken and starving Chinese.
The government Of China can only
partially cope with the great difficulty
Of alleviating the suffering, and the civ
ilized world is appealed to. 1t has
been estimated that for every two dol
lars contributed at this time the life OF
some man, woman or child will be
saved.
The editor OF The Echo has placed
two dollars with The Leavenworth State
Bank to the credit of the Chinese Re-
lief Fund. If you feel able to give to
this fund go to the bank and place
such amount as you feel able to give
to the cashier and you may rest assured
that the money will be used to the best
advantage, and not one cent used for
any other purpose.

''The Ranchman''

The Texas drama, The Ranchman," +"
was given by the Cashmere Dramatic
Club at the opera house Wednesday
evening. The house was good, not
shaken together and running over; but
comfortably filled. Considering there
were two other attractions in town the
same night, the attendance should
have been satisfactory to our Cashmere
friends, and doubtless was.
The local Kid Band played in front
Of the opera house, and again the hall.
They did well, as usual.
All characters in the play acquitted
themselves commercially, and deserve
to be complimented on the realistic
manner in which they carried off their
parts. The effort was success and
gave pleasure to all who heard it.
Two kindly criticism The Echo
would make. The waits between acts
were too long. The audience became
restive. The orchestra did its best to
bridge these breaks; but if the Cash
mere Dramatic Club gives another play
it should arrange to have it come along
less like a serial story in a weekly
newspaper.
The special orchestra from Cashmere
plays sweet music; but the drums
should be left in cold storage, or the
drummer taught to touch them lightly.
The noise browns the music. 1t re-
minded one Of the small drummer in
the local moving picture show-while
he is on the job nobody is likely TO
forget il.

WFNATCHFE VALLEY & NORTHERN
Completion of the Road Viii Open Up Fine
Agricultural Country - Begins Summer
Operations About March I o Next


Agricultural Country - Begins Summer
Operations About March II Next
Meeting General Manager Mcdonald
on the street the first of the week, he
told a reporter for The Echo that prep
arations for resuming operations on the
Wenatchee Valley and Northern railway
would begin March !. He said it
would require week or ten days to
get the engines in shape, clearing the
snow from the yards. and making other
needed repairs to the rolling stock.
The road, which has been under con-
struction for the past two years, ceased
operations the latter part of October
last, at which time some 20 miles of
main line and 10 miles Of logging spurs
had been constructed. The main line
is in fairly good condition and, up to
the time operations ceased, as many as
three and never less than one trip was
made to the end Of the track every
working day. The road has never been
opened for traffic, and will not be until
six miles more is completed, when the
objective point, Lake Wenatchee, is
reached.
So far no positive assurance has been
given that the road will be completed
this summer; yet it is generally be-
lieved that the road will be completed
to the lake before fall. Considerable
traffic, both freight and passenger, was
done last summer; but once the road
is finished to the lake and regularly
opened the business will rapidly de-
velop. The region around the lake
and the White river valley, which is
capable Of profitable cultivation, will
support large population. Between
so and IS homesteads have been taken
up in the region named. Some Of the
owners have made considerable i'm
provement by clearing land and build
ing houses and barns. Other owners
are only waiting for the transportation
which the Wenatchee Valley road will
supply.
In the Chewawa river, through which
the road runs, there are number OF
highly improved farms, though raising
timothy hay has so far been the princi-
pal occupation. Fruit trees give evi-
dence Of adaptability to the region.
The completion of the road is conf
dently expected to bring about rapid
development of the land about Lake
Wenatchee.

CoI0nist Day

Complying with the request Of the

West has issued a proclamation setting
aside March ! as Colonist Day. At
that time every resident Of the state is
expected to write letter to an Eastern
friend, calling attention to the advant-
ages of Oregon and suggesting that the
favorable colonist rates, in effect March
10 to April 10, will furnish convent
ent method to come and look over the

bodies are cooperating in the work, and

ment in the house.

The amount that should be spent by
the state for advertising was the sub
ject of a disagreement between the
appropriations committees. The house
struck the item entirely from the bud
get, while the senate allowed $3.50.
The believers in advertising say that
they will force thru a bill making an
appropriation Of at least $4,000, while
if the economical members have their
way no more booster literature will be
issued by the state.

According to the report of the state
land commissioner recently published,

O73 acres of school and granted lands
has been sold for total consideration
of 50, 1913, Sal, or an average of S14.54
per acre. The report contains sum-
mary of timber bills OF sale issued in
the various counties Of the state for
timber on school and granted lands
during the period above mentioned.
There are % counties represented. In
Pacific county the timber brought a
higher average price than in any other
county, as it ran over SS4 there. In
Stevens county the largest area was
sold, being over $4,000 acres, while
King county brought in the largest
sum of money. The report shows that
the area sold is gradually decreasing,
while the average prices are much
