Within the next week or ten days
we will mail subscription statements to
our subscribers who are in arrears. A
single subscription is a small amount
it itself, but when there are several
hundred Of them you can figure what
the sum is to a newspaper in the ag
gregate, Since weekly newspaper is
compelled by law to discontinue send
ing the paper to a subscriber who is
one year behind we have adopted the
method of sending out statements so
that those who desire The Echo may
not miss copy because we are trying
to obey the law. Statements will be
mailed to all who are three months be-
hind to give ample time to renew.
To those only OF our subscribers who
reside in the county is The Echo sent
after the paid for subscription expires.
In this case permit US to invoke the
aid Of the Golden Rule, "As ye would
that others should do unto you, do ye
even so unto them"

ICICLF DITCH co. TO
BUILD SOUTH SIDE LINE
The Contract for Eighteen Miles has
Been let-WiIl End at Monitor

That the Icicle ditch line will be
extended down the south side of the
Wenatchee river to Monitor is crafty
ing news to many land owners on the
south side of the river who are without
water for irrigation purposes. This in
formation was given out the past week.
The main line Of the canal ends about
one mile east of Leavenworth. From
that point line was completed across
the Wenatchee river to lands on the
north side last season. and water is be-
ing delivered thru this line at the pre-
sent time. 1t is the branch line down
the south side Of the river, on which
construction has begun, that reference
is here made. Mr.. Walter Olive, who
was here last week, said to a reporter
for this paper that this construction
would be rushed to completion at once.
There is large body Of valuable land
in the vicinity OF Monitor on which the
company has had its eye as well as
much other land on the route that can
be watered from the Icicle ditch on
account Of its high elevation.
An Italian contractor has a large
part OF the earth work. F. c. Buck
ingham, Of this place, was awarded the
contract to bore a three hundred foot
tunnel near Brender's canyon, in the
vicinity of Cashmere. The tunnel will
be in solid rock.

Last Tuesday evening the Methodist
Sunday school gave a banquet to mem
bers and friends as a result of the
school having reached an attendance
of one hundred and twenty-five. Mrs.
Studebaker's class having secured the
most new members were given the
honors of the evening. A program Of
songs and recitations, with addresses
by Rev. Rumohr and Rev. Hawk, of
Peshastin, was enjoyed by all, after
which most of the Sunday school chill
dren were grouped on the platform and
pictures taken. Following this all
present were invited to the basement,
where many good things which appeal
to the appetite were found. Owing to
the large crowd, which was estimated at
$50, it was late before all had been
served, but everyone considered it an
evening well spent.

JOHN D. ATKINSON BACK
FROM MARBLE MOUNTAIN
Some Development Work DOne-favor-
able Outlook for Putting Prod
uCt on Market

Hon. John D. Atkinson came down
from Chikamin Creek the first Of this
week after spending about ten days on
the property of the Onyx Marble Com
pany, where assessment work was
being done. Mr.. Atkinson is the
discoverer Of large body of valuable
marble, % miles from this place,
on which considerable work in the way
of development has been done in the
past. He always had great faith in
the value Of the property, but for the
past two years money matters have
been so close that the plans of his
company have been slow in maturing.
1t will require approximately quarter
million dollars to install machinery and
properly open up the property. AT
the present time the outlook for secur-
ing sufficient capital seems aattering.
Mr.. Atkinson has unlimited faith in the
merit of the property and has reason to
believe that the company will get Che
Ian county marble adopted for some OF
the large buildings that are contem-
plated, tho at the present time build
ing seems not to be very active.

CHAMPIONS ONLY
ONE GAME BEHIND
Locals Win from WenatChee by Score
of 6 to d in Fourteen Innings

Probably as exciting a game as was
ever played in Wenatchee occurred last
Sunday, the locals winning 6 to a..
Up to the last half of the 9th frame the
score stood D to 0 in favor of the home
team. And it looked as though it
was over. But the unexpected hap
pened again when Perry with two out
and two strikes on him lined out a two
Dagger to left field scoring two runs
and tieing up the score.
By this time things began to look
dangerous. The heat was intense and
the whole bunch seemed on the verge
of collapse. Judging from a remark
from Hickey that all he had on the
ball after the disastrous Ninth" was
prayer, we can thank the almighty
that it was answered.
The locals drove in two more runs
in the tenth and it looked as though
the game was cinched. But the Red
Apple crowd had their fighting clothes
on and managed to again even up the
score.
This ended the scoring up to the
18th inning when two more runs came
in for Moore's hopes. This time the
Wenatchee bunch were unable to come
back and the game was over.
Beginning Sunday the Wenatchee
team will be here for a four game
series closing Wednesday after which
the two teams will play three games at
Wenatchee on the 4th, 5th, and 9th.
A special train will be run from Wen
atchee on Sunday and a big crowd is
expected.

ton to rehear the case of Leonard Ols-

recently revoked on the ground that
they had been obtained by fraud. This

ford. The Congressional committee
will be in Seattle to begin its investi
CATION in the course Of ten days. The
motion for rehearing was supported
by District Attorney McLaren, on or
ders from Attorney General Wicker
sham. Judge Hanford refused to grant
the motion because he held that the
evidence adduced at the first OLSON
hearing proved that fraud had been
practiced on the court in getting nat
uralization papers. OLSON claims to
be a socialist and Congressman Berger
charges that his papers were revoked
for that reason.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM THE NORTHWEST
Friends of Alaska Look for Favorable
Legislation on Self Government
for That Country

In the very near future the Young
Women's Christian Association OF Sc
attle will begin the construction OF a
100000 building in the downtown
section. The final campaign for the
last $50,000 is now in progress, and
there is every reason to believe that
the fund will be closed soon. The
need of a permanent home is impera-
tive, as numerous young women are
being assisted by the organization. Its
work is not charitable, but intended to
help girls to help themselves. Last
year it gave service to more than IL,
900 different persons. The sustaining
membership is scare fourth of that.
With the new plant the organization
will be self sustaining.
Friends OF Alaska are very hopeful
at this time that Congress is on the
point OF granting local self-government
to the Northland. The several bills
for it have been threshed out at Wash
ington and are now in final shape.
Scores Of Alaskans have been spend
ing the last six months at the National
Capital. They are hopeful that rene
dial legislation will be granted at once.
Large numbers Of prospectors are going
north this year and considerable mining
machinery is being sent to various
points. All that is needed now is fav-
orable Legislation which will permit de-
velopment. It seems to be in sight.
No more interesting championship
baseball contest has ever been played
in any league in the country than that
now in progress right here in the
Northwest. The season is two months
old and each one OF the six clubs has
been in first and last place during that
time. The positions are constantly
changing. The form exhibited by the
Seattle team has attracted a great deal
Of attention. By winning ten out OF
eleven games the Queen City nine
climbed from the cellar to the top of
the heap, passing Spokane, Vancouver
(B. b., Tacoma and Victoria. But
the race is still young and it's any
body's pennant.
