WENATCHEE PARK LAND CO
LETS FIVE mile CONTRACT
First Five Mile of Its Irrigation Canal
Let the First of This Week

By the time this issue of The Echo
reaches its subscribers work on the
first five miles of the company's irriga-
ton canal will have begun. The con-
tract was let the first of this week to
an Italian contractor who has done
considerable work of this kind in this
vicinity. A large body of men have
already gone up to the Chewawa val
ley and established camp. The en-
gineering work has all been practically
completed by Mr.. Lewis, who has
been at work for the past six weeks.
The work will be pushed from now on
with all the vigor possible so that the
lands may be open to occupation and
cultivation before the summer is over.
1t is quite probable that a Dunkard
colony will be located on the land.

New Fruit Buying Firm Organized

According to the Wenatchee World
an independent association is being
organized among some Of the fruit
growers OF the Wenatchee Valley for
the purpose of packing, buying, ship
ping, storing and handling the output
of the members.
The association will also buy and
ship fruit for outsiders if such is de-
sired, and will establish headquarters
in warehouse in this city. The re-
port has it that the old Lillis ware
house has been secured for this pur-
pose and that P. P. Holcomb, formerly
president and manager of Wenatchee
Valley Fruit Growers Association,
will be at the head Of the new enter
prise.
It has been known for some time
that Mr.. Holcomb was contemplating
severing his connection with the asso-

citation in so far as any active partici-
patton is concerned. Whether the
growers who are forming the new as
sociation are all connected with the
original association or not, is not
known, but it is stated on good author
ity that some of the largest ranchers
in the valley will be connected with
the new enterprise. Eastern connec-
tions have already been secured by
which an outlet for large number Of
carloads has been arranged for.
With the old Wenatchee Fruit
Growers Association taking a more
aggressive position than ever before,
with the Northwestern Fruit Exchange
opening up in Wenatchee on big
scale, and with this new organization
coming into the field. it looks as
though this would be lively year in
the fruit business up and down the
length and breadth of the home Of
the Big Red Apple.

A. N. CORBIN FOR
COUNTY ATTORNEY
Declares His Candidacy, His Platform
and His Politics.

In announcing my candidacy for the
office of Prosecuting Attorney of Che
Ian County, Washington, I want to
get right down to the facts. I am not
doing this because my friends are
urging it, nor am I doing it thinking
that I would make financial sacrifice.
In the first place am making it be-
cause I want the Office of Prosecuting
Attorney, and believe that the salary
connected with it would be financial
gain to me and not a loss. If it was
not gain could not afford to take
the office. I believe also that four
years experience as prosecuting Attor-
ney in Burt County, Nebraska, and
three years experience as assistant
Prosecuting Attorney in Chelan County,
Washington, has given me the practice
that will enable the County to get
value received for the money paid me.
The only promise that have to make
is that, if elected, l would enforce all
laws that are on the statute books i'm
partially, without fear or favor and
without regard to my own personal
opinion as to the merits or dement's Of
any particular law. am Progressive
Republican and ask the support of all
those who feel that it would be for the
best interests OF the County of Chelan

TEN INNING GAME
WON BY WFNATCHEE
Rivals Win By Score of d to 3-Fast
Mt. Vernon Team Here Saturday
and Sunday

Simpson, the big outfelder who has
been held on the reserve list for sew
eral weeks, plainly demonstrated his
worth Sunday, when he clouted the
ball in the fifth inning for three bases
with the sacks full.
He had long been sitting on the
bench waiting for just such chance,
and when Manager Moore awoke to
the fact in the fifth inning that the
bases were full and there was only one
out, it came. A hit was needed. 1t
would very likely score two runs, and
Moore had a hunch. Arnold was
called to the bench and Simpson went
to the plate. The first ball thrown
proved to be one to the big fellows
liking and he drove it far into center
for three bases, scoring three runs and
putting his team mates one run to the
good.
In the following inning the score
was evened up when Hickingbottom
drove out two bagger and came
home on wild heave by McIvor.
The score remained tied up to the
tenth inning.
At the opening of the tenth it
looked as though the locals might get
over the winning run when Kelcher
and Simpson managed to get on with
only one out. But when Mazurie fol-
flowed and hit high fly to center
which was gobbled up by Ames, and
a moment later Kelchner was caught
off second, making the third out, it
was all over.
By timely hitting the Wenatchee
crowd annexed one more run in the
last of the tenth, and the game was
won.

Another Election Recall for Seattle

Mayor Cotterill is to haye a recall
fight on his hands. Petitions are al
ready in circulation and are being
freely signed. Members OF patriotic
societies have gone to the front in the
matter, stirred to action by the Mayors
contemptuous disregard of their wish
to enfore in Seattle a showing Of
proper respect for the American flag.
Naturally enough the great majority Of
those who supported former Mayor
Gill will gladly sign up for the recall Of
the man who, on the face Of the cleo
ton returns, defeated him.
Those who have the handling Of
Gilps fight to obtain recount Of the
votes cast af the election, claim actual
knowledge of enough Irregularities and
frauds to invalidate Cotterilps claim to
the office. This case is now in the
superior court and the question Of or
dering the recount will soon be de-
termined. II the assertions OF the Gill
managers are we'll founded there will
be no necessity for the recall.
But the new opposition which Cot
terill has created since going into Of
fee is taking no chances and there
will be no delay in circulating the pc

YOUNG DESPERATE
SHOOTS MARSHALL
Large Posse Assist in Search And Fugi-
tive Is Captured Twenty Four
Hours Later.

In pistol duel with John Nelson a
youthful desperate Marshall ]. F.
Pratt was shot in the thigh and pain
fully injured shortly after o'clock
Wednesday morning.
Nelson was charged with having
stolen a camera from the Chickamin
Hotel and officer had been on the
lookout for him for several days.
Marshall Pratt located the man in the
Jap restaurant and placed him under
arrest. On reaching the sidewalk
Nelson broke away from the officer and
started down the street and at the same
time pulled gun and commenced
shooting. The first shot struck Mr..
Pratt but he kept after the man and
fired ten shots after the fleeing fugitive,
none however taking effect.
1t was first thought that the marshall
was dangerously injured but an exam
ination showed it to be only slight
wound.
Sheriff Ferguson was notified of the
shooting and arrived here about two
hours later. Several posses were or
ganized and secured the hills all day
Wednesday but could find no trace of
the man. Towards evening word was
received that Nelson had been seen in
the Tumwater Canyon about mile
from town and large posse headed by
Sheriff Ferguson left for that place. AS
it was growing dark the men were
stationed throughout the canyon with
instruction to shoot to kill should they
meet Nelson as he was known to be
desperate character, who would take
big chances. However the watchers
in the canyon were disappointed,
Nelson had been hiding in that vicinity
and the officers passed vii h n
a few feet of him but he managed to
elude them and it is very possible that
he might have made his escape, but
thirst and hunger and desire to again
visit the young lady in the restaurant
whom he had become infatuated with
prompted him to take the chance and
return to the city. 1t was Miss Oar
ling who first gave the alarm that Mel
son had returned to the city and was
in the rear Of the restaurant. Railroad
Detective Savage who was close at
hand was notified and quietly slipped
around behind the restaurant and
covered his man before he had time to
make fight. He was placed in the
city Jail and taken to Wenatchee on
the night train.
When searched Nelson had two re-
volvers in his possession but only two
or three cartridges remaining. While
not ready to give himself up he says
he is glad he was caught as he would
not have been able to resist very much
longer and hopes for speedy trial.
While not having the appearance OF a
Bad Man" he is an old offender hav-
ing recently been paroled from the
state reformasory at Monroe where he
had been sent from Skagit County for
stealing.
The reward of 800 which was
offered for his arrest will be divided
between Miss Darling and Mr.. Savage.

PROPOSED WORkMEN's cOMPEN.
SATloN ACT FOR

Compensation act has submitted to
the Governor the bill on the sub
ject and by Tim 1t will be referred
to the Legislature, with the recon-
mendat.on that 1t take favorable &C
ton upon the measure.
The bill Is patterned for the most
part after the Workmen's Compen-
sation Act Of the State OF Washing
ton, and provides for an Industrial
Commission of three TO administer
1t. The bin is elective, 1t being pro
vided that employers engaged In
non-hazardous industries Will not

they serve notice on the Commits
sion that they desire To operate I'm.
der it, and further providing that
employers engaged In hazardous In.
dustries will be considered as op-
Grating under 1t, unless they serve
notice to the contrary to the Com
mission. A necessary fund is Great
ed by leyying on thu work.ngman
an assessment OF one-half Of l per
cent on wages paid them: by the
state contributing q liks amount
and by employers contributing per
cent OF the payroll Of the work
ingmen.
Unlike most compensation acts, the
bill provides for permanent PEN
sion OF $25 a month to any work
ingman who IL permanently disabled.
or to his widow II he Is killed In
addition to this S. q month u pro-
vided for the widow for each child

ing feature claimed for the bill 10
that It provides for loans for those
who have been permanently in3ur-
ed, In order that they may engage
in some business and become self
supporting, the money loaned being
deducted from pensions paid. Pay
ments under the measure are gener-
ally about rs per cent higher than
those under the Washington law.
