ANOTHER DERELICT
PASSES TO BEYOND
Stranger Dies in the City Jail Amid Most
UnwhOIeSOme Surroundings

"One more unfortunate. weary OF breath,
Rashly importunate, gone to his death"
Without money, without friends,
Tom Forshay, the man who has been
lying sick in the city hall for the past
ten days. gave up the fight last Satur-
day afternoon and the grim reaper won.
Had he been given proper care and
been moved to a hospital when he was
first taken sick he might have been
alive today. But instead he was left
to lie on a filthy cot in the Jail for a
week, without attention and nothing
to cover him but a few germ laden
quilts. No wonder he lost his fight.
Before he died it was learned that
he had relatives living in St. Paul and
they were advised of his serious con-
dition. But as no word was received
from them he was buried in the local
cemetery.
Little was known Of Forshay OF his
past life. He was about twenty-five
years of age but appeared to be much
older on account OF the dissolute life
he had led. Like many others he
came west seeking his fortune and not
finding things as he had expected, re-
sorted to that which for a time makes
men forget their troubles but in the
end wrecks their lives.
For time he refused to divulge the
whereabouts Of his relatives, saying

REGULAR MEETING
OF CITY COUNCIL
RemOnstranCes Against Paving Presented
Matter is Laid Over For
Three Weeks

A brief session Of the city council
was held last Tuesday evening, all
members being present.
After the routine of opening was
gone thru the first matter to come up
was the presentation OF protests against
the paving contract which the city en-
tered into with the Warren Bros. Co.,
of Portland. The Great Northern rail-
road, A. c. Barclay and L. w. Bloom
each presented a protest, in addition
to which numerously signed petition
by citizens Of the town was also pre-
sented, all opposed to paying. On
motion the matter was laid over three
weeks to give the city attorney time
10 go over the different grounds of OBJ
lection, the Warren Brothers Co. to be
notified in the meantime.
Permission was given Thos. Burke
to move a frame building from the
back end of lot on Front street to
the street line, the cost of making
improvements on the building not to
exceed $40.
o. S. Sampson was given permis-
sion to make Improvements in the
front of the Mercantile Co.'S. warehouse
on Eighth street.
Councilmen Robertson, Weigand
and Lindbloom were appointed on a
committee to confer with the city in
regard to fire ordinance and the erec-
ton Of buildings within the fire limits.
Deed H. Magyar was given permis-
sion to construct an area way on the
Eighth street side OF his building on
the corner of Eighth and Commercial
streets.
AS the council had previously made
a rule to consider bills on the second

{. Y. SAWDGE FOR
LAND COMMISSIONER
Deserves Support of voters-Well Quail
flied and UndOubted Integrity

According to advices coming into
Olympia, Clark V. Savidge, candidate
for the republican nomination for state
land commissioner, will win by an
overwhelming vote. 1t is predicted by
his friends that he will carry practically
all Of the smaller counties in the state
and poll big votes in the larger coun-
ties.
Owing to the fact that he represents
a new element in politics, has never
held public Office, and is identified
with no faction or clique striving to
gain control of the land Office, those
who are seeking TO bring about reforms
in state government are flocking to his
support.
He is regarded not only as one ol
the most efficient men in the state in
the race for public Office, but also one
who stands upon the principle Of the
utmost publicity in connection with
the affairs of the land Office. He says
that the office to which he aspires is
one Of great responsibility, inasmuch
as $40, 100000 worth Of timber, tide,
shore and agricultural lands being held
in trust for the school children of the
state will be under his supervision. He
is a firm believer in publicity as a
means of bringing about reforms in
public affairs and in preventing graft OF
corruption of any kind. He proposes,
if elected, to give the widest possible
publicity to all affairs connected with
the land Office. Not only will the
sale OF lands be advertised in the pa
pers located near the tracts to be put
up for sale, but everything will be done
to see that everyone interested is in
formed. He advocates sending no
tice OF the sales to the educational in
stitutions interested. Thus, when
school lands are to be sold, the school
directors Of the vicinity will be notified
as we'll as the authorities Of the state
university, the state college and the
normal schools, so that they may in
form themselves and see to it that the
school children of the state receive g
fair price for the lands.

fees have been collected and turned
over to the treasurer"

Hon. John H. Smithson, OF Ellens;
burg, Kittitas county, present joint
senator from Kittitas and Chelan in the
last state legislature, desires to be re-
turned to his present position and has
indicated his desire by placing his an
nouncement in the Echo. Mr.. Smith
son made a thorough canvass of the
county two years ago and made the
personal acquaintance Of many Of the
voters, who are as familiar with his
record as is the editor of this paper.
In his own county no man stands
higher than John H. Smithson. If
Chelan county should have candidate
for this place The Echo might find it
necessary to support the Chelan county
man, purely out of spirit Of loyalty to
the home man.

LeayenwOrth Mercantile Co. InstaIIs
Cash Carrier System

Manager Sampson called our at
tention one day this week to the new
Lamson Cash carrier system which his
company had installed this week. 1t
is the last thing in cash carriers and
will prove great time saver. The
company has long been in need Of just
such device but delayed installing it
until the new addition was completed.
The large business done by this firm
made such an improvement necessary.
1t is the first of the kind to be in
stalled in Leavenworth.

those who were dearest to him evil

candidacy for reelection to the Office

renewing old acquaintance and getting
in touch with the voters, upon whom
he relies for reelection. Mr.. Keith
has served two years, as we believe,
very satisfactorily. The following ex-
tract from the report of the State Ac-

is perhaps the best evidence of his fit

save money on meat She says:
The market value of meat increases
backward from the head Of the AMI
NAL, but decreases downward toward
the legs. This brings the choicest
cuts in the upper back part OF the
beef and includes the ribs and the
loin. The majority of the people OF
the United States demand cuts from
the ribs and loin. At present 80 per
cent of the demand is for these cuts,
which form only % per cent Of the
carcass. Few understand that the
cheaper cuts are as nutritious as the
more expensive cuts and that it is
onlv q matter of cooking and prepara-
ton.
By buying in large quantities it may
be possible to procure meat at better
prices than those which ordinarily
prevail in the retail market. The
whole side or quarter of an animal
can frequently be obtained at less
cost per pound than when it Is bought
cut by cut and can be used to advan
tage when the housekeeper under
stands the art and has proper storage
facilities and a good sized family.
The housewife who provides liberal
mixed diet need not feel that she Is
failing in her duty if she furnishes a
very small amount Of meat One-fourth
pound day (Which is the amount Of
an ordinary serving) for each grown
person, will yield one-third OF the pro-
TEN needed; bread. cereals. fruits and
green vegetables will, together, furnish
another third, and the remainder can
best be obtained from such foods as
eggs, milk, cheese. nuts, dried beans or
| peas.

main dish Or remaining after the first
serving can be seasoned and recooked

flavor may be extended through con
siderable quantity of less expensive
material which would otherwise be
lacking in distinctive taste. Moreover
smaller quantities can often be bought

the dish with it, to combine the meat
with crusts, as in meat pies or meat
rolls. or to serve the meat on toast or
biscuits. Borders Of rice, hominy, mac
aroni or mashed potatoes are examples
of the same principles applied in diff
ferent ways.
In preparing left over dishes the fol-
lowing general rules should be kept in
mind:
Remove all bone and gristle and, as
a rule. trim off the fat. Save all bones
for soup stock. Save the fat for trying
out. Cut the meat in one-half inch
cubes or chop fine. depending upon the
way in which it is to be used. If the
meat is tender and well cooked reheat
only. If it is tough or underdone, SIM
mer until tender, saving the cooking
water to make sauce. Season rather
highly as much of the flavor is lost In
the cooling.
When the housekeeper attempts TO
reduce her meat bill by using the les.
expensive cuts she commonly has two
difficulties to contend wifh-toughness
and lack of flavor or of agreeable fla
vor. Prolonged cooking at low heat
makes the meat more tender. This
may be done by cooking slowly on the
back part of the stove. in q double
