When the seed bed has been

When the seed bed has been
well prepared and good seed
has been obtained a very sue
cessful stand of alfalfa may be
secured in late July and early
August. If there is plenty of
moisture in the ground a good
seed bed can be obtained by
discing the ground after crop
of barley has been removed.
The chances of good catch,
then, are good. If alfalfa seed
cannot be obtained at a reason
able price, it is better to wait
until spring before planting it.

What ails this country? Dignity,

The courts Of this country are NANCY

There's too many voters staying at

Dignity, sobriety, reserve-that's
the curse and Hiram Johnson has

Editor Echo:
I cannot refrain from saying a few
words about an old neighbor.
John Kuelbs, Progressive candidate
for "Chelan County Coroner" is and
has been resident Of Chelan county
for the past nineteen years. He is a
man fitted in every particular for the
Office of County Coroner. During his
long residence in Chelan county, and
in the Wenatchee valley he has made
multitudes of friends and not single
enemy, and has a broad acquaintance
throughout the entire county.
Mr.. Kuelbs is now, and has been
for the past twelve years, engaged in
the undertaking business at Cashmere.
His services as an undertaken are too
we'll known and appreciated all through
the county to require more than a
mere mention here. His long exper-
fence in this line has we'll fitted him
for the Office which he is seeking, not
from his own personal choice, but be-
cause his many friends have urged
and almost forced him to become an
aspirant for the office OF county cor
oner.
He is not only progressive in poll
tics, but is progressive in his business,

OUR TRADE WITH RUSSIA.

In view of the abrogation of the treaty with Russia which goes into ef- feet the first of the year and the fact that new one will not be made until the new administration takes up its control of affairs the trade relation between this country and Russia offers an interesting study. How much bus mess will suffer will depend upon the result obtained in reestablishing treaty relations. In the past decade business with Russia has more than doubled, being for the past year about 50 mill lion dollars of which exports to that eoutry will amount to about 25 mill lion and the imports from Russia will approximate 26 million. Russia is a large buyer of our raw cotton agri- cultural implements and manufactures, while from there we secure large quantities of hides, wool skins, flax and furs.
 The trade figures of the current year exceed very materially those of any earlier year, especially on the import side, being practically ten million greater. This was due to the imports of hides and skins totalling alone prac- tically 15 million, or nearly double that of last year. As to exports the agricultural implements will show the largest increase, amounting to eight million, while raw cotton will approx innate six million and the manufactures of iron and steel nearly that, Euro pean and Asiatic Russia being includ- | ed. Much of the Russian imports SC coming from this country and figures show that there are important trade relations involved between the coun- | tries,

BUILDING CODES,

Early and united action are neces- sary when it comes to establishing a building code for city, and the i'm portance of such an ordinance needs to be realized and the difficulties over come before great obstacles loom up to block it. Bridgeport is finding that to be the case when the Telegram says: "Once in a while someone peeps up and says Bridgeport should have building code. This is encouraging but Bridgeport will never get that code until the interested parties get together in the interest of the city, rather than of themselves. The matter has been allowed to drag until it has become a standing disgrace"
 What is true of Bridgeport is true of most every city. Such matters of vital importance to city are thought of for long time by certain ones, but 1t is difficult to press them forward to action by the city. The quicker such a code can be established the less problems will be confronted, the easier it will be to put it in force and main tain it. Such code is in the interest of safety, protection, regularity and the appearance of the business sec ton of every city. It deserves earnest attention to at least check the irreg- , , ularities of the past, when conditions perhaps required less attention thar
 those which develop in any growing municipality, and to prevent them iI | the future. So long as no code exist: the building practices of the past vii
 continue, everyone doing as he de. sires, whereas it is as easy and muct | better that all should conform to sim | liar requirements

FEE SYSTEM IN CITY COURT.

For many years the city court has been conducted on the plan of sal 1ry for the judge and fee for each case for the prosecuting attorney. This means that the larger the amount of businezs the greater is the remunera- don of the prosecutor, so that the of nca becomes much better paid one tam the judgeship. paying handsome rees for, in many instances, few min utes work. It has been the cause of net a Ettls criticism, not because of ths conduct of the office. but because ee the handsome plum paid for work whicA occupies but a small portion of each day. With view to change the proposition to obtain an amend nent to the city charter whereby the fee system will be changed to a fixed salary has been launched by the coun- cu and it Is calculated to overcome a situation which has needed improve uent for some time. It is necessary to go before the legislature to secure the required amendment and herewith win be included the fixing of the sal- arJ of the judge at a stated figure. sl,2oo being the amount in each in- Etnnce.
 There Is nothing in the fee system which aids in the administering of justice ln the court. It is not a prac- fine which is followed in other courts and it often places a burden upon those brought before the bar of jus tice which would not be imposed if the fee system was not In vogue As efficient service could be given with the ofice paying fixed salary, though it might be less than from the fee sygtem, and the move started through the endorsement by the council of the plan should receive support.

 It was during the week before Christmas that two friends met in one of the. large stores of the city and halted to exchange greetings. One was draped from head to foot in black and showed plainly that she was mourning some dear one to the ex- clusion of all other thought The oth- CT was in suitable winter costume and evidently in full possession of health and an overflow of happiness, that eX- tended to all about her in a radiance of cheerful friendliness. Both were young women. The first, Majorie AL stead, was so wrapt in her grief at the recent loss of both father and mother, that to be Christmas shopping was merely a duty to be performed. To the other, Agnes Seamons, every gift much as she hoped it would be to the recipient. She always had said she took as much pleasure in selecting her gifts for others as in receiving her own.
 She was saddened at the sight of Marjorie's doleful appearance and wanted greatly to comfort her, if pos sible.
 How pretty the Christmas goods are this year!" she exclaimed, '1 be- lieve they were never so attractive. am near the end of my list, how ever, and also near the bottom of my i purse. I generally reach the end of my purchases only when there Is nc more to spend, often wish had more, i but try to remember all whom l can with what have. Are you gift-hunt- ing?"
 Buying a few things only" replied ! Marjorie. q am not in the Christmas mood, I fear" and she sighed deeply But you must not let yourself be sad at Christmas time, you know Perhaps you would be comforted a lit- tie to know how happy you could make l the season for others" Agnes ven tured this timidly and was shy oi giving advice at any time. Think il over, Majorie dear, and see if you can not find some way to make a Merry Christmas, after all. I am going tc wish you a Merry Christmas, anyway and hope 1t may prove so," and witt a kindly smile, she went on her way. | How can I be anythings but sad ? l thought Marjorie to herself, when au
 SD lonely. There is no one in ths world for me to care for"
 Just then fragment of chat reach. ed her ear from two who stood by hel side Said one lady to the other, 'Yes I am buying gifts for my Sunda, School class. but there are so many others whom I wanr to help. Only yesterday a case came to my notice that appealed strongly to me but am powerless to help them. I wa. told of family of six children, whose
 mother died a week ago. They are tt

 no Christmas tree this year, because
 Mamma had gone to Heaven and couit
 not get one for them. wish l coult get it, but I cannot, so I must no think of it"
 A sudden thought came to Marjorie
