The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1912-10-11

Mr.. Beechers candidacy and the
things he is advocating were received
very warmly by the progressives in
Ellensburg and without a doubt he
will receive the progressive vote oi
that city as we'll as of Kittitas county.
The return trip to this city was
made by way of what is known as the
"Wenatchee road" distance of about
sixty miles, which crosses the noun
tains about ten miles below Wenat-
chee. Leaving Ellensburg at o'clock
Sunday morning we arrived in Wenat-
chez at 1:30 p. m. which considering
the kind of roads we came over is re-
markably good time. This road while
a great deal better than the Blewett
road in many respects is harder to get
over on account of the steep grades.
The highest elevation according to
government stakes being $500 feet
against about $500 feet on the sum-
nit of the Blewett road.
For the next two weeks Mr.. Beecher
intends to travel over this county meet
ing the voters after which he intends
to return to Kittitas county to spend
the last week or ten days before the
election.
For those who are not familiar with
the things Mr.. Beecher stands for we
publish the following:
I farmer and fruit grower by occu-
patton; have lived in Chelan county
sixteen years; am a Past Master Of
Peshastin Grange. If elected l will
stand squarely on the Progressive Plat
forms and will support and vote for:
Initiative, Referendum and Recall,
including Judges; Initiative of Amend
ments to Constitution; Preferential
Presidential Primary Law; Non-Partisan
election of all Local Officers; Fewer
Commissions and More Economical
Government.
The Adjustment of Capital Pun
ishment, and will favor the most pro-
gressive methods of handling our
State Prison and Reformatory problems.
Repeal of the Hay Inspection Law.

$500 from Two Acres

The Wenatchee valley is truly the
place where dollars grow on trees. P.
J. Morris of Wenatchee has two acres
in apples of the Winesap variety from
which it is estimated he will receive
5000 boxes OF fruit. Most of the fruit
is of the extra fancy grade and will net
him s1.25 box after paying all ex-
penses, a total of $3.50. There is
about 200 trees on the two acres and
each tree will have at least fifteen
boxes. The trees are eight years old.

GOVERNOR WILSON WAS RIGHT THEN;
WHAT WAS RIGHT THEN IS TRUE NOW
Both of the Old Parties Have Been Weighed in be Bal
anCe and Found Wanting

In a speech delivered August Is, just after the new
party was launched his home, Sea Girt, New
jersey Gov Wilson said to an audience of neighbors
"I used to meet men who shrugged their shoulders
and said What difference does it make how vote
Nothing ever results from votes suppose you know
the force that behind the party that has recently
been formed-the so-caled Progressive party 1t is
force of discomfort with the regular parties OF the United
States 1t is feeling that men have gone into blind alleys
and come out often enough and that they propose to find
an open road for themselves.

FEW CONTEST FOR
MUNICIPAL OFFICES
Nine Citizens File for the Council
five Positions to be Filled

With the exception Of the mayor and
health officer, those now holding city
Jobs will have no opposition in the
coming election on Nov. S, omitting
the different vacancies on the council.
While as yet no prediction has been
made as to who the next group OF
councilmen will be, the election OF
Mayor Carlquist to succeed himself is
certain, and if our dope is right he will
receive an overwhelming majority any
where from to to l over his oppo-
nent.
The record of the present admins
tration has been very Satisfactory TO the
voters and most OF those who go to
the polls in November will vote to re-
tain in office the men who have ac-
complished so much for the city dur
ing the past year. While it is not pos
sible for public officer to please every
element, Mr.. Carlquist has come near
er to doing this than any mayor pre-
ceding him for long time, and the
people have confidence in his ability
and integrity.
At the time the present mayor and
councilmen were elected there was
much agitation in favor of municipal
water system, they favored the proposed
system and were elected over those
who were supposed to be against the
city water plan. Since that time the
people of the town have voted that they
wanted to own their own water system,
the bonds have been sold, the contract
for a system let and barring unforeseen
difficulties they will be drinking water
from their own system in less than four
months.
Under the present administration
three improvement districts have been
made and much is being done toward
the beautifying of the town by paving
and grading the streets. The saloons
have been closed at twelve o'clock at
night and the poolrooms on Sunday,
under the present regime, the first
time such a thing has been attempted
in the history of this city. The above
is only partial list of the things the
present administration has done but it
is enough TO assure the average voter
that the men who have looked after
the city's affairs the past year have not
been deglectful Of their duties. Only
two of the present councilmen Messrs.
Mischke and Schubert hold over for
another year.
Following are the names of those
who will put their names before the
voters at the coming election:

Brother Corselius, Of the Cashmere
Record sold his plant some time ago
and gave possession the first OF October
to Nh. Raab the new publisher The
last number Of the Record under Mr..
Corseius was a record breaker in size
and getup for a country weekly. So
excellent an edition deserves mention,
and we have TO regret that thru an
oversight or press Of other matters,
proper acknowledgment was not made
Of his monster edition, Of which 5000
copies were printed, replete with de-
scriptiye matter and Illustrations Of the

Cashmere is located. It was a fit and
memorable closing Of his career as a
newspaper man in the Wenatchee Val
and will not soon be forgotten.

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION.
Assistance for Kentucky Orchardists

Upon many Kentucky farms
are mature apple and peach or
chards that have been neglected
for many years and have produc.
ed no income further than an &C.
casional small crop of uncertain
quality. With little invest
ment and a little work at the
proper time, great many of
these orchards can be made to
return cash income that will be
an important item in the farm e.
economy.
For the most part, the CONNER.
cial orchards of the State are now
being sprayed. On the other
h md the small home orchards
that receive this attention are ex-
ceptiOns rather than the rule.
On account of the lack of know
ledge of the proper means to APP.
ply in combating the common or
-chard pests, many orchardists
have come to believe that fruit
growing is not u profitable bust
ness. Under the conditions pre-
vailing in many orchards this is
perfectly correct conclusion.
The prevalence of San Jose
scale in all parts of the State
and the great harm that it does
before being discovered by the
grower, plainly indicates the ne
cessity of careful inspection of
the orchards of the State.
The Horticultural Department
OF the Kentucky Experiment
Station, recognizing the impOr.
lance of fruit growing to the
State, desires to assist our fruit
growers to discover serious insect
pests if they are presest and to
give timely suggestions for the
treatment of trees before they are
permanently injured. B.. it-
The Department has provided
for the employment of an as.
sistant, who Is to be especially
assigned to the work of inspect
ing orchards. If San Jose scale
or any other serious orchard pest |
is found upon inspection, the
grower is taught to know it and
the methods of controlling it are
fully explained. Suggestions will
also be given along the lines of
pruning and cultivation of or
chards. Later on the Depart.
ment plans to hold public spray
ing and pruning demonstrations
throughout the various fruit |
growing sections.
The Horticultural Department
desires the names and addresses
Of all men interested in fruit
growing throughout the State, in
order that we may send the pub
locations that are issued, and in
order that we may inspect their
orchards when practicable. Also
send names of your acquaintan,
ces who are likewise interested.
Every person in the State is in.

And have a chance to run and hop
With no ore near to mind.
And eat an apple fore it's peeled,
And own some dirty toys,
And be too poor to have nurse
And play like other boys.
Why, every time that Columbine
Comes off the street with me
She has to change her clothes and

For fear of germs, you see.
And If l grab stone or touch
A post along the walk,
You'd think it was a crocodile
To hear her line of talk.

Birth of the NAVY
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

r T was 1877 years ago that the old
continental congress author
lied the equipment of a couple
of cruisers, mounting, respectively.
ten and fourteen guns-and it was
in that very modest bill that the
American navy had its birth.
At first the growth of the navy
was distressingly slow. There was
a doleful lack of efficient material
at home, and our agents were I'M
able to enlist the active sympathies
of foreign nations There was, OF
course, a good reason for this
those nations did not want US to
have a navy. They had a sort of
premonition that the embryonic re-
public might make trouble for them
if it should succeed in getting its
guns on the brine.
But in the midst OF our troubles
something happened that put new
face on the situation at once. Paul
Jones won his brilliant victory off
Marlborough Head, and the Yam
kee navy experienced the boom"
that is felt to this day. The exulta-
ton born of that victory went
through the nascent nation with
thrill and a buzz, and 1t was all
ready written down that America
was sooner or later to become a
sea power.
The little navy provided by the
continental congress was about
used up in the struggle with King
George, and from 1850 to 1855 we
were practically without a war
fleet But when the BarbaN States
began TO Insult us, congress got
busy again and ordered the con-
struction of six or eight frigates,
which gave a splendid account of
themselves IN the Medt. s--.
and other waters.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-10-09

At the breaking out of the war
of 1872 our navy consisted of sew
enteen seagoing ships, nine Of them
being below the frigate class, and
a few gunboats designed for coast
defense. Yet, as all the world
knows, this little navy behaved
splendidly in its contest with the
greatest sea power in the world,
and at the close OF the war the
greatest sea power in the world"
had for our navy Astounding re-
spect.
After we had settled our dispute
with Great Britain upon the high
seas, our navy, having nothing in
particular to do, went into decline,
where it remained until the broth
ers' war of '61-'65. At the begir
ming of that war the United States
navy consisted of but rs vessels
of all kinds, with a roll Of enlisted
men of some $4,000, while at the
close Of the struggle there were
over 900 vessels, with over $1,000
officers and men.
The Civil war revolutionized not
only our own navy, but those of all
other nations as well. From the
day on which the battle between
the Monitor and Merrimac was
fought the old navies of the world
were not worth a rush, and all the
naval boards began to govern them
selves accordingly.
The present war fleet Of Uncle
Sam numbers somewhere about -0l
craft, classified as follows: First
class battleships, "a; second-cIass.
9; frst-class cruisers, IS; second
class, 3; third-class IA; gunbolts.
81; monitors, 10; destroyer, 40.
torpedo boats, So; submarines. 30.
