Il noticed IN last weeks issue a
statement made by Mr. Ward, the r
Ed carrier from Andrews, in ref
ence to my statement as to the Black
river route being temporarily dis
continued. | beg leave to say that |
had no intention to discredit Mr.
Ward in any way. 1t was told to me
that the road across Black river was
totally impossible and Fletcher
Graham's horse was drowned. That
is why | made the statement. |
consider Mr. Ward one of my best
friends and one of the best citizens
of our town. Far be it that should
make any statement that would re-
fleet upon Mr. Ward or any business

my position and | have explained it
to him in person. This explanation
is intended for the readers of The

A very old deaf and dumb white
man of this town, John Thomas
Johnson, died last Saturday of heart
failure. John Thomas" as he was
known, was reared in this commun-
ity. Although deprived of speech
and hearing he was jovial and full Of
life and was known far and wide.
He is survived by his wife. One
child was born to them, which died
when only about seven or eight
years old.
Miss Vinie Powell and Mr. John
Floyd were united in matrimony
last Sunday afternoon at the home
of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs
M M Powell, near Andrews. Mr.
Floyd is a young man of the Olanta
section. Both the bride and the groom
are very popular young folk. The
ceremony was performed by Notary
Public w S Caml;n.
The home of the writer was made
happy last Wednesday, the Oath

boy, Thomas Roland. If this young

Don't mistake the cause of back

1t is wrong to imagine relief is

Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.

you how.
HIP Lane, Marion, S Car, says:
For more than a year | suffered
from backache and sharp pains
through my loins. In the morning
on first arising, | was so lame and
stiff that l could scarcely get around
and some days | was unable to work.
My kidneys were sluggish and the
secretions were unnatural. | heard
so much about Doan's Kidney Pills
that | concluded to give them a tri-
al and procured a box. After brief
use felt better than | had for
years, my back became stronger, the

big plant returned from the east a few
days ago. When his family arrives he
will occupy the company's bungalo on
the bank of the river. He has his
plans and drawings made for remodel
ing the saw mill and box factory.
Some new and lately improved ma
chinery will be put in the saw mill.
New planning mill machinery will be
added and the box mill enlarged and
some new and improved machinery
added. 1t is the intention to largely
increase the output and at the same
time improve the quality of the output
until the boxes made at this plant are
not surpassed by any mill in the coun-

in the saw mill, planning mill and box
factory will approximate cost of $25,-

AS given out in this paper hereto
fore the plant will commence opera

will permit with day and night crew
and will run to full capacity the entire
season. The payroll of the manufac-
turing plant will run over 500, 900 per

The board Of trustees adjourned to
meet in North Yakima January 8 to
further evolve plans. 1t is the intention
OF the trustees to meet from time to
time in various district centers to study
local conditions and for the moral effect
their sessions will have in firmly estab-
fishing the harmony that so far has
marked all the deliberations. By its
close application to the big task given
over to it by the conference, now the
board of trustees, have achieved
practically what they had been
given 90 days to do, and in perfecting
the organization have accomplished
much in bringing about the big CEN

sire.
Many details as to storage facilities,
methods of operation and general man
agement are yet to be worked out.

pressed in dollars we will add that it
means in round numbers the paying
out of $500, 900, most of which goes
for labor and supplies and finds its way
into circulation right here at home,
and this sum does not cover the cost
of operating the Wenatchee Valley &
Northern railway.
Never in the history OF the town
have the hotels and rooming houses
been so crowded. There is not va
cant house in the town.
From ten to twenty four and FIVE
room houses would find ready tenants.
The wonder is that some enterprising
citizen does not put up some rent
houses. A fifty or sixty thousand dol
lar hotel, such as The Echo suggested
last week, would prove profitable in
vestment. 1t is one of the crying
needs Of the town.

ATLANTA PLANS
BIC EXPOSITION
COMMITTEES ARE APPOINTED TO
TAKE CHARGE OF THE
MATTER.

Atlanta, May 29-The project OF
holding a permanent exposition at
Lakewood park was given substantial
impetus Monday afternoon at a joint
meeting of committees representing
the citp, the county and the chamber
of commerce.
The city was represented by Mayor
Winn and Councilman Aldine Cham
bers, the county by Commissioners S.
B. thurman and Shelby Smith. and
the chamber by PRESIDENT Wilmer l..
Moore, Secretary Walter c. Cooper
and H. G. Hastings,
Mayor VIM said he thought an an
nual exposition would not only be
feasible, but that it would prove a
great success, and he believed it could
be worked out along the lines sug-
gested by Councilman Chambers in 4
resolution recently introduced in the
council.
Lakewood park, said Councilman
Chambers, is ideallp suited for the
purpose. 1t consists of 3S2 acres, with
a lake covering 80 acres, tae land is
and wooded, and with proper
escape work could be made beau
tiful spot OF which the whole city
would be proud. Councilman Cham
bers said it would be his idea to spend
as much of the net profits as posi-
Bile for permanent improvements, de-
signing the buildings with that end in
view.
Commissioners Truman and Smith
said they believed the county board
would give the project liberal sup,
port. Mr.. thurman pointed out the
accessibility of Lakewood by road
and car line, and spoke of it's fitness
for the project.
The mayor moved that a commit
tee Of three be appointed to work out
a plan of financing the project, and
Chairman Moore named Councilman
Chambers from the city ad Commits
sioner Truman from the counutyuu. Ell
sionor thurman from the county He
will later name someone to repre-
sent the chamber or commerce.
Councilman Chambers then intro
duced a resolution asking the sup
