FEED BUSINESS IS GROWING
Rutherford & Burns Compelled to Double
Their Present Quarters

Messrs. Rutherford and Burns have
been engaged in the grain and feed
business some four months and their
business has grown to such dimensions
that they are compelled to double the
capacity of their warehouse. By play
ing the game for all it is worth and
strict attention to business they have
built up large and profitable business.
They handle from six to ten cars Of
grain and feed per month and expect
to double this during the fall and win
te. The addition they have been put
ting up to their warehouse is to be
used exclusively for hay. Having their
warehouse located on the track enables
them to save drayage and thus make
lower prices. 1t is their purpose to
handle coal this fall and winter.

County Engineer Berry On the Ground With Crew First of
This Week
ALMOST STRAIGHT AND NOT OVER 5 PER CENT GRADE
Will Shorten Road Between eavenwO and PeSasn One Hafage
Livery Company of Wenathee Contractors Sub-let
Rock Work to Italians

The Echo takes special pleasure in
making the announcement this week
that work has finally begun on a pub
lie movement which it first agitated
more than six years ago and which the
records will show the editor of this
paper advocated in all seasons, making
numerous trips along with other citi-
zens to the county seat in order to
urge on the county commissioners the
great importance of building a first
class road from here to Peshastin.
The cost OF building this three miles
of road is variously estimated at from
ten to twenty thousand dollars. 1t is
now more than two years since the
court practically decided to let the
contract, but as the building was con-
templated under the state aid road law
and its friends had constantly to con-
tend with the hostility of Ex-State
Highway Engineer Bowlby, who has
since been shown to be one Of the most
incompetent road bunglers that ever
came down the pike, this much need
ed and meritorious public improve
ment has been held up for one cause
or another. Now, however, the end is
in sight, and before another season
direct and convenient communication
between Leavenworth and Peshastin
will be established.
County Engineer Berry arrived here
last Sunday afternoon in order to be on
the ground early Monday morning.

Mrs. Mabel Hutchings has organic
ed new orchestra that will be heard
for the first time at the Hard Times
dance September 4. Mr.. Fields will
play the drums, Mrs. Gardner the base
viol, Art Johnson the cornet. Mr..
Pabst the piano, and Mrs. Hutchings
the xylophone. The last mentioned in
strument played by Mrs. Hutchings,
should be good drawing card as il
will be the first time it has ever been
used in an orchestra here. All the
members are old musicians, and as
nothing but the latest and popular
music will be played, it is safe to say
that they will be popular with those
who attend the dances.

Washington Must Get Publicity

Money invested in exploiting a
state is for the benefit OF the property
owners-the tax payers. In Mime
sofa about 10000 people have been
brought in, according to Governor Eb-
erhardt, as a result of land show and
soil exhibits. The average wealth
brought in is at least 81, 900 per capita.
California is spending $4,000 per
county for advertising; Kansas spends
$40, 900 per annum; Governor Hadley
Of Missouri states that the legislature
there appropriated $4,000 and as the
money was not available for the first
years work, the banks Of St. Louis and
Kansas City realized the importance Of
the work, subscribed the $25 900 that
the work might start; Wyoming has
100000 per annum to spend for the
next two years; Nebraska which has
little to advertise is taking $25 900
per annum, and Iowa is putting on a
campaign to secure 100000 per an
mum to tell the truth about the re-
sources of the state and keep people
from leaving it.
With these facts before US, it would
seem our state with all the things it has
to advertise, should have fund which
would enable US to participate in the
enterprises which are increasing our
population and wealth, and participate
in them without passing the hat to in
dividuals and corporations.

Joseph E. Johnson, most efficient
and painstaking assessor when employ
ed in that capacity, but Just now EN-
ployed in collecting delinquent per
sonal property tax and making good,
was here this week.
]. F. Hobson, a Wenatchee brick
maker and building contractor, was
here this week. 1t is generally under
stood that he is figuring on the school
building.
c. Will Schaefer and son, Harold, oi
Olympia, who have been visiting with
]. B. Adams, departed for Wenatchee
Monday afternoon to visit few days.
M. o. Stevens, representing the chiei

inspector, here Tuesday.

He has two helpers and together they
are checking up the work done on
what is known as the southside road, a
road which is sure to be the leading
artery between here and Peshastin as
soon as it is completed. Residents
living on the south side OF the river in
the vicinity of Peshastin are now ira
yelling twice the distance in coming
to Leavenworth that they will have
to travel when the south side road is
completed.
The contractor is assembling his
crew and pitching his camp this week.
The Italians who have the rock cut a
mile this side of Peshastin will also be-
gin active operations at once. En-
gineer Berry says there is eight hun
dred feet of rock work running from a
foot or two to over twenty feet. The
balance OF the work is all in earth and
none Of it very heavy. There is one
short trestle to build. For a large part
OF the three miles the road runs along
the Wenatchee river bank and is al
together very picturesque. The grade
is very light, in no place being over
FIVE per cent, with very little that
steep. 1t is hoped to have the road
made passable by the first of the year.
The travel up and down the valley
between here and Wenatchee will all
take the south side because it is
shorter and on better ground as we'll
as on account of an absence of steep
grades.

TRUTH ABOL. V0IIC LIBRARY
viii be Opened to Public This Month
Supported by Public

A misleading statement was given
to the public the past week in regard
to the library which the City Beautiful
Club has in the past, and is yet pro-
viding. Among other statements made
it was said the Lamb Davis Lumber
Co. donated the material for a book
case and Mr.. Spiedel gave the work.
The facts are that in February last, the
women composing the City Beautiful
Club had book reception at which
about ESQ books were generously do
mated. Shortly thereafter at meeting Of
the Commercial Club, it was suggested
that the club donate a book case and
Mr.. F. S. Jacobsen proposed to donate
the material and Mr.. Robt. B. Field
offered to pay for having the book case
made. The ladies Of the library COM
mittee decided that they want ed glass
doors in the book case, but Mr.. Jacob
sen declined to donate material for
glass doors, saying he had only agreed
to donate lumber. The ladies bought
the glass and Mr.. Field agreed to pay
for the making Of the doors. Mr..
Spiedel was paid for making the book
case and also the doors. He made
very neat and artistic case. The ladies
feel very grateful for the help they
have received, and hope to open the
library to the public in September. 1t
will be free public library and will be
supported by public contributors, and
entertainments given by the women
during the winter. No librarian will
be appointed as the women Of
the club will do this work themselves.

Amateur Night At the Scenic

Those who attended the Scenic
theater last Tuesday night were very
pleasantly entertained. Baby Reatha
Hutchings, who is not unknown to
Leavenworth theater goers, displayed
her talent in two appearances. The
first in an illustrated song and last in a
fifteen minute vaudeville sketch with
Clifford Hegler. Mrs. Mabel Hutch
ings rendered several solos on the
saxaphone and xylophone.
The final act was three round box
ing contest between Masters Carvel
Bowen and Jack Herzinger, the former
taking the part of Jeffries and the latter
Johnson. This act was something out
of the ordinary and drew considerable
applause. 1t is the intention of the
management of the Scenic to give
every Friday night to the amateurs,
and those who would star before the
footlights will be given chance.

Although much building has been
done in Leavenworth during the past
year, it has not increased as rapidly as
the business growth Of the town and
many looking for business locations
here are unable to find a building in
which to establish their business.
Almost every day we hear OF some
prospective Leavenworth resident, after
looking over our city and the future Of
the upper Wenatchee valley, being
forced to go some where else on account
Of lack Of sufficient buildings both in
the business and residence sections.

BIG BAND CONCERT TOMORROW
The Band as Usual viii Give Concert in
the Pavilion Tomorrow Night Sept. 2

Notwithstanding that the subscribers
to the concert fund did not come thru,
not one having deposited the amount
of his donation in the State Bank by
August 20. as agreed upon.
Unless the public gives the boys
some support, it is quite possible the
public concerts will be discontinued.
Those who have an interest in the Kid
Band and desire to see the concerts
continued should call at the State bank
and subscribe such sums as they feel
able to give to keep the band alive.

FINEST OF FARM PRODUCTS
Charles Elinger Shows Melons and Corn
That Can Not Be Surpassed in Kansas

Charley Ellinger, who owns a ranch
just south and about one and half
miles from town, had some Of his pro-
ducts in the town this week. A fine
melon that weighed thirty pounds,
perfect in shape and unsurpassed in
eating quality. He also had some
specimens of field corn that reminded
one of the Kansas produce, so large
and well filled was it. This is not
held up as a corn country, at least not
beside Illinois and Kansas, but this
has been a very favorable year for field
crops of all kinds. Mr.. Ellinger's
melons and corn was raised without ir-
rigation.
While irrigation is not absolutely
necessary in this particular locality, for
the reason that it does not get so hot
here as it does in the lower valley and
because there is an absence of wind,
and because also there is on account
of the proximity of the mountains con-
siderable moisture in the ground at all
times. Still, water at just the right
time will, no doubt, aid both fruits and
vegetables in reaching the highest
stage of development, and on account
of the cheapness everybody can be
provided with water at small expense.

To Achieve Great Success

Send the harmony Of Great Desire
vibrating through every fibre of your
being, says Thomas Dreier. Pray for
a task that will call forth your faith,
your courage, your perseverance and
your spirit of sacrifice. Keep your

conquering spirit will flow freely.
In the temple of your ideal keep the
lamp ever burning, so that in aspiring
for the unattainable you will reach the
attainable. Liberate for your work a
great love. Invest in accomplishment
nothing but creative energy. Then
will you achieve great success, and
even while you live men and women
will bless you with the name of Master
Servant.

Civil Service Examinations

The United States Civil Service
commission announces that it has been
unable to supply the demand for male
stenographers and typewriters in the
service of the government of the Uni
ted States. Young men who are willing
to accept an entrance salary of $84O
to 5000 per annum have an excellent
opportunity for appointment and ad-
vancement. The government service
offers a desirable field to bright and
ambitious young men. Appointments
in the field service are frequently made
at 81, 900 and 81, 200 per annum. Ex-
aminations will be held in September
and October, 1911, and all qualified
persons, male and female, are urged to

The attention Of the state insurance
department has been directed to the
violation of the insurance code as
certain companies which have not been

panies would not take. The companies
doing such business in this state are

SCHOOL SUPFRINTENDFNTS MEET
Annual Meeting to be Held in Olympia
September 10 to 22

The question which was brought up
at a hearing held before the public
service commission at Hoquiam as to
whether or not water company is to
pay for the laterals reaching from the
main to the property of the patrons or
whether such laterals are to be paid
for by the users of the water is some
thing which will affect every munich
pality in Chelan county, which has a
municipal or private water system. In
Hoquiam the property holders are made
to pay for the laterals and the property
holders appealed to the public service
commission. No ruling has as yet
been made on the question, and in
case the laterals are to be charged up
to the patrons Of the water company
then the company can charge rates
only on the main as the laterals will be
owned by the patrons, and the cost OF
these laterals is shown to be about ten
dollars apiece. There is also some
question as to whether or not a COM
pany is in position to serve the public
if it does not own the laterals, and
these questions must be decided by
the commission very soon.

According to data compiled by the
office of H. B. Dewey, state superin-
tendent, there are thirty-six states and
territories of the United States and two
provinces of Canada represented in
Washington by graduates OF various
schools, teaching in the public schools
of Washington. There are two states
which have more teachers in the state
public schools than Washington, being
Wisconsin which has 336 teachers and
Michigan with 334, while Washington
comes third with 32S teachers. OF the
various schools the Ypsilanti school OF
Michigan takes first with 15S graduates
teaching in Washington. More than
ESQ different schools are represented In
Washington.

AS state, Washington has practi-
cally gone out OF the publicity busi-
ness, despite the fact that it needs
several million settlers to cultivate its
vast areas Of unoccupied lands. Re-
Gently, Secretary Of State Howell was
forced to admit that he could not sup
ply literature to the many inquirers he
hears from almost daily. The last leg
islature cut off the fund out of which
The Booster Book" was printed each
year. Now, Washington's advertising
depends wholly on the commercial Or
ganizations and the railroads. In the
face of this, Oregon as a state is spend
ing more money than ever. People
interested in seeing Washington devel-
oped believe that publicity and funds
to provide it, should be one Of the big
gest issues in the next campaign.

cording to letter sent to Villetta H.
Guthrie, the superintendent of schools
of Chelan county, by the state super
intendent Of public instruction, H. B.
Dewey, in which she is notified Of the
meeting. 1t is expected that every
county in the state will be represented
at this convention as a number Of mat
tiers of interest to all school districts
will come up for discussion and con-
sideration. These meetings do much
toward increasing the efficiency of the
schools and unifying the work in the
various counties. Formerly they were
held every two years but now they are

BIG YEAR FOR PACIFIC COAST
The Year 1915 VIII be Most EventfuI--
New Use of Motion Pictures

AS things are lining up now, 1915
will be the biggest year the Pacific
Coast has ever seen. Worlds fairs will
be held in San Francisco and San Di-
ego to commemorate the opening Of
the Panama Canal. Seattle Elks have
announced their intention to bring the
annual reunion of that order to Puget
Sound. Portland will entertain the
antlered herd next year, so that it will
be time for them to come back to the
Coast again, three years hence. Plans
are also forming now for a number OF
other important conventions, all OF
which will stimulate travel this way.

The state has during the past two
years turned back into the treasury un-
expended $314,000 of the appropria-
tions made by the 1909 Legislature and
has also retired 81, 100000 worth Of
bonds leaving the general fund free
from bonded indebtedness and putting
the state on a cash basis. Notwith-
standing this, the governor thinks that
a better showing still can be made, and
he has ordered that a monthly report
be sent in to his Office by each de-
partment, so that he can keep a closer
check upon their operations, as he
says that a private corporation if it did
the business that the state does would
require more than biennial or an an
ual report.

holding Of the Northwest Development
Congress in Seattle next year. This

The Northwest Development Congress
plans to become the chief exploitation
force for the seven states along the
country's northern tier west OF the Mis-

several thousand delegates.
