Editor E. L. Gregory of the
Lawton, Oklahoma, News and
Star has the following to say of
a recent co operative road. build
ing experiment in his town, and
it is so we'll applicable to our own
town, that we reprint it in full,
hoping that it's lessons may find
Judgement in the minds and
hearts Of our own people to ripen
into rich fruition in the near fu-
ture.
1.-The exhibition of the civic
pride manifested by the four
hundred citizens of Lawton who
laid aside the cares and respon.
sibilities of their personal bust
ness and went out and worked
the road all day Tuesday was
one of the finest we have ever
seen anywhere. 1t was mag,
nifcent sight to witness this ar
my of business and professional
men working shoulder to Shout.
der in a friendly movement to
convert Ft Sill boulevard into a
passable road. Many had look
ed upon the undertaking as more
of a joke or desire for outing
than a legitimate effort at road
building, but when the days la.
Dor had been finished and sur.
vey of the results accomplished
had been made, even the most
optimistic of the promoters OF
the movement were agreeably
surprised at the results. And
every man present worked, Oh
course some worked harder than
others, but taken as whole a
vast amount of efficient labor was
performed and the road is in
a.much better condition and Law
ton people feel better as a result
of having assisted in so laudable
an undertaking. While more than
one thousand dollars worth OF
labor was performed the more
important feature of the event
was the unanimity of sentiment
and the harmonious, energetic
manner in which Lawton men
and women laid hold of this work
as they have of every other
movement which has had for its
object the lettering of Lawtor
or the advancement of those in
terests which are of benefit tC
the city. 1t is just such a spirit
that has builded the city of Law
ton into one of the largest and
most progressive of any city in
the state. And it is just such q
spirit and energy as will result
in keeping LawtOn well toward
the head of the list among the
progressive cities of Oklahoma.

AIDING THE GOVERNOR

Gov Hooper is fortunate in the
manner of opposition he has en-.
countered. Misrepresentation
and personal abuse will help his
cause. His official record is very
clear and his personal demeanor
has been above reproaeh.
TO call the Governor "meglo-
maniac" and speak of ''the de.
pravity of his tongue is such
gross misrepresentation Of his
true character and department
as TO inevitably react on the ma.
levolent, partizan source from
whence it came.

attack is the only resource Of his

Knockers Are m Advised

Among the callers at this Office this
week was c. E. Hall, from San
Diego, California, who stopped of
here the first of the week. Mr..
Hall is dissatisfied with his California
location and was making a tour Of
Washington in the hope Of finding
something to his liking. He had
spent a few days in Wenatchee, and
said he had been told BY someone who
was trying to sell him fruit land that
apples could not be grown in this vi
cinity, as it was too cold for anything
TO grow here. We have always be-
lieved that the future growth and de-
yelopment Of Wenatchee depended on
the growth and development Of the
surrounding country. II there is no
loom or reason for the growth and
development OF LeavenWorth and 9TH
er towns in the Wenatchee valley
then Wenatchee is already too large
and her store buildings and residences
are doomed to become the haunt Of
bats and owls. The country immedi-
ately tributary cannot support town
OF over five thousand population. II
Wenatchee grows to be city it will
be because she draws support from
settlements 25 and so miles away. Il
is regretable that some Of the people
OF the lower valley cannot appreciate
this fact.

FRIDAY. NAY 10, 1912
The Water Bonding Election

The editor Of The Echo does not
want TO be understood as opposing the
purchase by the town Of Leavenworth
Of the water distribution system Of the
Tumxater Light & Water Co. under
any and all circumstances. He is op-
posed to the proposition to pay S21,-
500 for the system because he be-
heves it too much out of proportion to
its value TO the city. He believes that
every dollar over $4,000 paid ior the
Tumwater Light and Water Co.'S dis
tribution system is in the nature OF a
bonus to eliminate competition, and in
view Of the fact that ii is worth some
thing to the city to have entire control
of the water revenue he favors paying
double what it is worth TO the city, he
might even be brought to see that, in
the interest of harmony, it is worth even
more than that to eliminate ali competi-
ton. II however, the taxpayers say by
their votes on the 2lst Of this month
that they favor paying the amount fixed,
S21 500, he will cheerfully acquiesce,
recognizing that there is room for diff
ference OF opinion. The owners OF the
system are among our most esteemed
citizens, who are simply trying to save
as much Of their investment as possible.
Should the proposition to be voted on
the 2lst Of this month fail FOX want Of a
three-fths majority, as we believe il
will, ii can be brought up again under
a modified agreement.
Certain it is, this town needs, and
must have, in the very near future, a
larger supply Of the purest water OBJ
tainable for domestic use and fire pro-
lection, if il would command the atten-
ton OF investors.
Leavenworth is growing as few towns
in eastern Washington are growing. Il
is sure to have a population Of from
five to ten thosand people within the
next few years, and it behooves US to
build wisely and well the foundation
on which rests the prosperity and vel
fare Of an inland city.

Advertising so Effective it Does Not

Does Advertising Pay is doubt

fective that it does not pay the printer.

the next day after the first issue con-
tanning the ad. was out he came to

cause he had rented the land, and the
unused advertising had to be refunded.
Last week Mrs. Conrad Hartung placed
a three line ad. to run three weeks,
in The Echo, offering COW for sale.
The next day after the Echo was out
she came in and said Take the ad.
out, I only had one COW for sale and
have had three applicants to pur-
chase" Yesterday VIM. Titus and a
man whose name we cannot recall
wanted to know if the cows were all
sold. Will Tompson, Of Chiwaukum,
here yesterday, also wanted COW.
Wherefore we say our advertising is
too effective to be profitable to this
Office. II results were not quite so
prompt it would be to the advantage
OF the printer. II you have anything
to sell, and advertise the fact in The
Echo, there is the probability that you
will be pestered to death with apphca-
tons to purchase which is also likely
to deter some OF our modest and retir-
ing patrons in the use Of our columns
for advertising purposes. Instead OF
advertising in a newspaper these peo-
pie will adopt the method Of telling
Jones to say to Smith that they have
something to sell.

that he is out OF harmony with the po-
litical desires Of the great majority OF

lyman Lamb for County treasurer

Under the head Of announcements
for Office We present the name OF MI.
Lamb for the Office Of county treasurer
this week. The Echo has heretofore
urged Mr.. Lamb to stand for this posi-
ton and gave some sound reasons why
Leavenworth was entitled TO name the
next county treasurer. As matter OF
right as well as a matter Of political ex-
pediency all the county officers should
not come from Wenatchee. In urging
on the voters Of the county the can
didacy Of Nh. Lamb it is fit and prop
er that We should give some reasons
therefore, among the first is his entire
fitness, both by temperament, exper-
fence and ability to Eli the Office to the
satisfaction OF the taxpayers. He is a
man well along in years, though still
active and full Of energy, in modest
circumstances, owns fruit ranch with
in two miles Of this place which he has
been engaged in bringing to a profit
able stage for the past seven years.
He came to this state from South Da-
kota nine years ago and first stopped on
the Sound, going from there to Alaska,
where he spent year. He came to
Leavenworth seven years ago with his
family and has made his home here
ever since.
He served as city auditor and city
treasurer Of Rapid City, South Dakota,
and county treasurer Of Pennington
county; removing TO Sturgis, Mead
county, he served for six years as clerk
of the Circuit and County Court and
four years as Registrar Of Deeds. Now
if any of our friends should say, Mr..
Lamb has held Office long enough, !"
we have to say for that gentleman, he
quite agrees with them. and it required
the urgency Of his friends, (among
whom the writer has pleasure in count
ing himself one) to get his consent to
permit the use of his name. He told
the writer that he had long ago made
up his mind that he had nough OF
Office and would never be candidate
again. His repeated election to Office
was taken by his neighbors as the best
evidence Of his fitness, and his mod
esty, or whatever his objection rested
on, was overridden By the insistence
of his friends. There are people re-
siding at Cashmere, Wenatchee and
Chelan who knew Mr.. Lamb in Penn
ington and Mead counties, South Da-
kota. Here, at his home, he will re-
ceive the support Of four out OF FIVE OF
the voters without regard to politics.
