of fine millinery this season prom
ises to exceed in beauty and variety

Lashed hard and fast into the bed
of one-horse wagon. John Fulton.
crazy negro, was brought to Kings
tree Monday morning from the Sal
ters section and later taken to Co.
lumbia, where he was placed IN an
asylum for the insane. John is fair
ly we'll known around this section as
having spent a somewhat checkered
career. Some time ago he was plac-
ed on the chaingang for operating a
blind tiger, but illness prevented
him from being of much public SER
vice. He was also accredited with
breaking into the store of the Farm
ers' Supply CO. here, but for lack of
sufficient evidence he was allowed to
go free.
We have been asked to call the
Road Engineers attention to the
horrible condition of the road lead
ing beyond Black river. It's great
inconvenience to the people across
the river, who have to haul their cot
ton to Salters to have it ginned. 1t
also diverts much trade from Kings
tree that logically belongs to this
town. We understand that peti-
ton is being circulated to raise funds
to repair the road, but it should be
fixed now, or it will be too late to re-
establish trade relations between
that section and Kingstree before
the harvest is over. the crop sold and
the money gone to build up some
more accessible town. The time to
get busy is NOW.
Mrs D C Scott was called to Max
ton, n C, last week on account of
the death of her sisters husband,
Mr. McA Afford, last Friday night.
Mr. Afford expired suddenly and
without warning, and his unexpect-
ed demise was a great shock to his
family and friends. The deceased
was an extensive landowner and
farmer and was in the prime of
vigorous manhood with the promise
of many years of useful life before
him. He is survived by his wife and
one daughter. Miss Elizabeth, and a
large family connection. Mrs Afford
was formerly Miss Maggie Brock
ington of Kingstree and many hearts
feel kindly sympathy for her in this
hour of sorrow and affliction.

Death of Mrs. Patrick.

After nine weeks Of unremitting
suffering, caused by a complication
of diseases, which she bore with the
patience and fortitude of martyr,
Mrs Lula D Patrick passed away
at Sis o'clock yesterday evening at
her home in West Main street.
Mrs Patrick, before her marriage
to Mr. Oscar H Patrick, April 10,
1906, vs. Miss Lula D Strong, a
daughterof Mr. John J Strong, of this
county and niece Of Hon R H Kel-
lahan, with whom she spent the
greater part of her young life here
in Kingstree, where she was well
known and beloved by everyone who
knew her.
During her long illness nothing
was spared tending to the allevia-
ton of her suffering. At all times
she had the best attention that the
medical profession could give and
was constantly under the care of pa
tient and" efficient nurses, but at no
time did her affliction seem to re-
spond to treatment, and she gradual
ly grew worse until the hour of her
death, though conscious of her con-
dition and surroundings until yes
terday afternoon.
Mrs Patrick was devout Chris
tian, and took an active part in re-
ligious work, being a member of
Kingstree Baptist church.
Funeral services conducted by her
pastor, Rev w E Hurt, will take place
at the grave at o'clock this after
noon, and all that is mortal of this
estimable lady will be laid to rest in
Williamsburg cemetery in the pres
ence of concourse of loving rela-
tives and friends.
Our tenderest sympathies go out
to her devoted husband, her aged
uncle, under whose loving care she
was raised, and to a large circle of
other relatives who are left to
mourn her demise.

Advertising Folder for Wenatchee Park
Land Company

Arrangements have been made with
this paper to get out several thousand
copies of an attractive folder for the
Wenatchee Park Land and Irrigation
Company, which will be used in
spreading the news of the opening to
settlement Of some thousands of acres
Of fine fruit, hay and dairy lands in the
valley Of the Chewawa river, some
twelve or fifteen miles from Leaven-
worth. 1t is quite likely that these
lands will be settled by a colony Of
Dunkards from the East. No more in
dustrious, thrifty and in every way de-
sirable citizens could be added to the
population of the upper end Of the
Wenatchee valley than these same
Dunkrds. The writer happens to
know something of the worth Of this
class Of people. Let them come.

Will Advertise Washington

Olympia-The names Of members
Of the progress and prosperity commit
tee, chosen by the various commercial
bodies of the state, are already coming
in, and as fast as they are received
Governor Hay forwards credentials, and
within a short time it is thought that a
meeting of the committee can be
called by the chairman, John c. Slater,
of Seattle. This committee was cre-
ated by Governor Hay by a formal
proclamation and is to be composed OF
two members chosen by each CONNER
cial body of the state. This booster
BODY is to work for the interests OF
Washington as whole and not contine
its efforts to any one locality OF the
state, but to boost Washington in all
parts of the United States and in for
eign countries as well. That the
opening OF the Panama canal Will Dring
a rush of population, wealth and pros
perity to the Pacific coast is the firm
conviction of Governor Hay and the
commercial bodies of the state, and
the new committee was created to help
Washington to secure its share Of pros
perity. From Chelan county the We
natchee Commercial Club has sent in
the names of Harry Crowl and W. 7.
Clark to serve on the committee; the
Cashmere Commercial Club has sent in
the names Of ]. D. Corselius and c. A.

Club the names Of Geo. D. Brown and

STREET PAVING RECEIVES
FURTHER CONSIDERATION
Representatives of the BitulithiC Paving
Co. Meet Commercial Club Mem
bers and City Council

Seeming the possibility of a paving
contract, Mr.. A. R. McCollum, OF
Spokane, representing the Bitulithic
Paving Co., of Boston, accompanied
by J. ]. McNerney, a Wenatehee
street paving contractor, put in ap-
pearance the first of the week. Tues
day evening a brief meeting was had
with a number of the members of the
commercial club and property owners
on Front and Commercial streets,
where the matter of paving has been
considered. Mr.. McCollum had a
number of samples OF his paving ma
terial taken from streets where the
material had been in use for several
years. His paving material is COM
posed of crushed rock, asphalt and
other substances and when made up
looks as if it might be excellent mate
rial with which to pave streets. 1t is
impervious to water, has enough resil-
iency to make it easy on horses and
comparatively noiseless. The cost is
somewhat higher than the brick prop
osition submitted to the property own
ers last week but may we'll be worth
the difference in cost, which is $3.50
as compared to the estimated cost OF
$2.10 per square yard for brick.
A further conference was to have
been had with the council last evening
when the matter of cost and method
of payment was to, have been gone
over, but it was impossible to get a
report for this issue Of The Echo.

Bridge on SOuthside Road

To Contractor Quigg was awarded
the work of putting in small wooden
bridge on the southside road about one
and half miles east of town last week,
and work, says Mr.. Quigg, will COM
mence this week and be rushed to
completion. The bridge is to be
about two hundred feet long. The
deep gully which the bridge is in
tended to span made the road all but
impossible. With this completed the
southside road will be in fairly good
condition for travel. Before the road
is completed as laid out by County
Engineer Berry there remains about a
quarter mile of heavy grading to be
done at the east end, near the Peshas-
tin bridge, where there are some heavy
grades to be overcome. The i'm
provement will put the road practi-
cally on a level, and it is also to be
macadamed to bring it up TO the state
highway standard. This improvement
is to be made some time the coming
summer, says Commissioner Kinney.
Then there will remain only a short
stretch from the bridge under con-
struction to the east end OF the Leav-
enworth bridge over the Wenatchee
river, between a half and three-quar-
tiers OF mile long. The road around
the rock cut, which connects the old
road at each end, has been used since
last fall and proved great conYen-
ienee.

WILD MAN FROM BORNEO

II amateur performers are as fond OF
applause as professionals, and we are
told they are, then they were satisfied
to their fill at the performance given in
the Scenic Theater last Friday night.
The house was filed to the ceiling and
the audience gave the amateurs a
warm and uproarious reception, mani
testing their approval as only we'll
pleased theatre goers know how. Of
course Mr.. Simpson only piled glory
upon top of glory, while all the others,
Miss Edna Featherstone, who is be-
coming semi-professional and Miss
Rose Georger, new and promising re-
cruit in the ranks of the amateurs,
gave pleasing Interpretation Of their
respective parts. Arthur Babst, as
Fred Binns, played the downtrodden
nephew to Butler SIMPSONS gay and
festive Captain Lefton Wright, an old
friend Of the former. Harry Masten,
as Peter, the sleepy NUT Of servant,
was good. Postmaster Davis make
up as the Wild Man From Borneo was
magnifiqu, if superlative expressions
are permissible in this connection.

PRECINCT CAUCUS AND
COUNTY CONVENTION
Preferential Primary Expressions In
practical.

At meeting of the republican coun,
ty central committee held in Wenat-
chez last Saturday it was decided tc
hold precinct caucuses on April 6, and
the county convention April 13. The
members of the committee without ex-
ception favored a preferential primary
if it could be held legally and satisfac-
torily, but it appeared inasmuch as on
ly registered voters could vote at a
primary election that it would be un-
satisfactory because not one fourth ol
the voters were registered at this time
and it was improbable that more than
half could be registered by the time
the primary would be held. And also
because the expense would have to be
met by voluntary contribution. For
these reasons the old caucus method
of nominating delegates in each pre-
cinct was adopted and county con-
vention to nominate delegates to the
state and congressional conventions.
The county convention will be held
in Wenatchee on the 18th OF April,
and the precinct caucuses one week
previous.
The apportionment Of delegates is
based on the vote for Cosgove in the
election of November 1908.
Following is the apportionment OF
delegates:
Blewett, Q; Cashmere IS; Chelan a;
Chelan Falls Q; Chiwaukum Q; Col
ockum, Q; Columbia 81; Entiat 4;
Lakeside, a; Leavenworth, 10; Nal
aga, 8; Merritt, Q; Monitor, 8; Peshas-
tin, 8; Stehekin, Q; Wenatchee 81;

for the opening game with Wenatchee
will begin in earnest Sunday. -Four
players have yet to report, but letters
received by Manager Moore state that
they will all be here by Saturday.
An exhibition game will be played
and it is believed at that time all the
players will be given their regular
berths.
Alden Anderson, the new pitcher
from Minnesota, has been out this
week throwing a few and from all re-
ports he has plenty of smoke and lots
of good curves. He is a big six
footer and has all the earmarks of a
ball player, and if we're not mistaken
he's going to show some Of these fel-
lows up before the summer is over.
Brown, who did such effective work
against Wenatchee last year, is reported
TO be in fine condition and will prob
ably pitch the opening game here
against the Red Apple town.
Following is the present lineup of
the team: Mazurie, 1b; Kelchner, 2b;
Miller, SIS; McDermott, 3b; Mcintosh,
C; Parks, CT; Arnold, If; R. Smith, IF;
