PrOgreSsivs Primaries Tomorrow

Adherents OF progressive political
faith will have the opportunity tomor-
row, Saturday, Sept. THY of express
ing their preference for state, legisla-
tive and county officers. The primary
election will be held in the city hall
from IL o'clock noon until 8 o'clock
in the evening. Under the law the
progressive party could have nominated
their county and state ticket at con-
vention on the 10th day Of September,
but preferred the primary method be-
cause it is one of the cardinal principles
of the party to avoid convention
methods, which have in the past led to
such fragrant abuses. Instead OF nom
mating by convention they believe in
direct nominations by the majority Of
the voters, wherefore it behooves every
progressive voter, men and women, to
turn out tomorrow and indicate their
individual preference for every officer
to be elected next November.

A Word To Progressive Voters

The Echo has among It's readers a
considerable number of women, some
Of whom are progressive and will want
some advance information about the
form of the ballot that will be handed
to them tomorrow by the election
officers who will preside at the progress
sive primary election. For their bene-
fit, and for the benefit of those men
who have not had the opportunity to
look over the list OF names submitted,
we are this week printing the full
ticket, just as it appears on the ballot.
In general way the ballot is self-ex-
planatory and the voter should have
no trouble in marking his or her ballot
so that the judges will have no trouble
in determining the intention of the
voter. The voter has the right also to
write in the blank spaces un-
der each official heading the name
of some one whom he or she prefers
to those appearing on the ticket.
It is Of course desirable that a full
and fair expression of the will OF the
waters be registered. We earnestly
urge all progressives to go to the city
hall and vote. To declare your inten-
ton to vote for the Roosevelt electors
will entitle you to receive a ballot.
This is the acid test to which all who
have enrolled under the Bull Moose
banner must submit.

BUSTER BROWN TO ADVERTISE
WFNATCHEE VALLEY APPLES
Sixty Million Apples This Fall Will Zach
Bear a Buster Brown Label

When R. F. Outcault, the originator
of the Buster Brown pictures, who
with F. N. Crewdson is the owner OF
the largest apple orchard in the world,
located at Bridgeport, Wash, con-
ceived the idea Of placing Buster
Brown labels on the apples shipped
from this valley. he did more than has
been done in many years towards the
advertising of this already world famous
valley.
On the labels will be seen picture
of Buster Brown and his dog Tige. and
a big Red Apple, with Buster saying,
SAY Tige if they ever taste these
apples once"
According to Mr.. Crewdson, Mr..
Outcalt put more real hard thought
into this phrase than he put on any
piece Of work he has ever done. But
Mr.. Outcalt's efforts are not to be
without results. With Buster Brown
apples going into every country on the
globe, as they will be, this valley will
soon be attracting more people than
any other section Of the state ano
will have the reputation Of being the
greatest apple growing district on the
globe.
Only the choicest apples, both il
appearance and variety, will carry the
label, but it is estimated that there
will be upward of sixty million o
these,

ROOSEVELT IN SEATTLE
TWO SPEECHES TUESDAY
DreamIand in the MOrning-PrOgreSSiye
State Convention in Afternoon

When Col. Theodore Roosevelt
leaves his car at the union depot in
Seattle at nine-thirty on the morning
of Tuesday, September 10, he will be
accompanied through the main streets
of the city and as far as Dreamland
Rink by one OF the noisiest crowds
that ever made an appearance in this
city.
There will, Of course, be the usual
string of automobiles, containing the
men and women of the reception COM
mittee, but it will be that part OF the
procession which will 60 foot, i'm
mediately following the automobiles,
that is expected to make the disturb
ance. In the first place, all OF the
county delegations to the State con-
yention have already been instructed
to report at the west entrance OF the
union depot at nine-thirty o'clock,
where under the supervision of Col.
George P. Lamping and his aides the
parade will be formed. Following the
various county delegations, under the
standards Of the various counties, will
come mass of King county progress
ives. A band Of fifty pieces will head
the parade and interspersed throughout
the line there will be numerous other
bands.
The program for the day is as fol-
lows:
ga. m. Arrival Of train bearing
Col. Roosevelt.
$50 a. m. Parade forms near west

CHANGE MADE IN
EXPRESS WAYBILLS
Agent Lee Says All Express Packages
Must Be Brought to Depot at Least
An Hour Before Train Time

It is not every locality that can
boast of big, good natured, smiling
express agent, as these gentlemen as a
rule become universal cranks, which is
brought about we told through their
dealings with the American public.
But take it as a whole Fred Lee is just
about as congenial and accommodating
agent as you will find in your travels.
But even he sometimes becomes peeved
and gets little crouch on when things
don't go just right. For instance il
you want to rufie his good nature just
take an express package around about
five minutes before train time that you
want to get off on the next train.
That will sure get the big fellows
goat, and he is liable to fly clear off
the handle as he did with the writer
one day this week. You see it is this
way. A new ruling by the Interstate
Commerce Commission which went
into effect Sept. 1st makes about three
times as much work as it did in the
past. Hereafter, waybills, when issued,
will have two stubs upon which will be
written all that will be shown in the
carbons on the original waybill. The
original will be retained at the fexpress
Office as a record of goods forwarded.
Another will be pasted on the ship
ment and the third will be sent to the
destination Office.
OF these waybills there will be three
different kinds which will be classified
according to the color in which they
are printed. One Of these will be used
in sending prepaid valuable freight.
Another in sending collect valuable
freight and still another in sending
goods Of ordinary value.
Stickers are provided by the express
agent which will be pasted on every
article that goes out of the Office. On
these will be marked the date OF ship
ment, party to whom shipped, number
of pieces in the shipment, and the
number of the waybill. OF these
stickers there will be four different
kinds. For instance, if fifty boxes oi
fruit are shipped a sticker will have to
be pasted on every box with the above
information written on it. The two
other kinds of stickers will be used or
collect and prepaid shipments Of one
package only.

eligible to compete for two silver cups.
The city sending the largest number
Of machines, based on its population
by the 1910 census, will receive cup.
Thus town of 1000, with ten cars
entered, will be on an equal footing
with town Of 1000, having 20 cars
entered. The greatest parade in the
history OF the Inland empire is ex-
pected, and one of the results will be
the impression made on eastern visit
ors by large showing of machines
from the farming districts.
The automobile that travels the
greatest distance to enter the parade
also will receive a silver loving cup.
Although there is no rule regarding
decorating, it is expected many of the
cars will be ornamented with the prin-
cipal products OF their district, such as
wheat, apples, etc.
In addition, cars from all parts of
the Inland empire may compete in the
various divisions for the best decorated,
most unique car, oldest car, etc., IS
cups comprising the list of awards.
Both the automobile dealers and
the owners of Spokane are taking a
lively interest in the parade, and a
representation of many hundred ma
chimes is anticipated.

PAVING INJUNCTION TO
BE SETTLED TOMORROW
Case Tried Before Judge MCCOy---EWi-
denCe All In

The injunction suit brought to stop
the street paving now under way came
to trial before Court Commissioner
Mccoy in Wenatchee last Tuesday,
when the argument on the demurrer
was heard, judgment on which will
also be rendered on Saturday. Most
of the evidence submitted was in the
nature of written documents. The at
torneys for both plaintiff and defendant
are confident the court will hold with
them.
In the meantime work on the paving
has gone steadily on for the past two
weeks and another three weeks would
probably have been completed. In
the event the court sustains the in
junction somebody will be out pot
of money for the work already done.
Whether it will be the paving COM
pany, the city or those who brought
the injunction proceedings must be
determined by future courts.

f. A. LOSKAMP DEVELOPING
VALUABLE MINES IN IDAHO
Local Man Believes He Has Discovered
One of the Best Mines in Idaho

The following extract from the SEN
tinel, of Elk River, Idado. concerning
F. A. Loskamp, of this city, who owns
valuable mining property at that place,
will no doubt be of interest TO local
people:
After many ups and downs the old
Jerico mine-hitherto little more than
a prospect-seems in fair way to be-
come a steady producer and may make
another Idaho company rich. The
Burnt Creek Mining Co., the Wash
ington corporation which now owns the
property, is preparing to undertake ex-
tensive development work and within
the next three months will prove it to
be a real mine or a mere hole in the
ground.
Frank A. Loskamp, the Leavenworth
mining man who is the directing head
of the company, was in Elk River this
week on his way to the Jerico to put
as many men to work as can be used
to advantage in the small workings.
He was not at all boastful as to the
company's plans and prospects and his
conversation inspires confidence in his
good faith as in his experience. He is
evidently not stock market miner.
While here he said: 'The Jerico has
all the earmarks of a mine but the de-
velopment so far has not been enough
to demonstrate its ultimate value. I
do not care to make any definite state
ment of our plans at present. The
lead which has already been cut is un-
doubtedly true fssure vein. 1t is
about six feet wide and carries good
values in free milling ore, the poorest
Of the vein matter running $40 per
ton, and if that holds with depth it
will make a splendid concentrating
proposition. There is streak of high
grade in the lead that at times is worth
a dollar a pound, and if those values
were to continue no concentrating ore
at all would be needed to make the
Jericho a bonanza. But, of course,
that is too good to last.
"Our tunnel gives US about ITO feet
Of depth below the outcroppings, but
we have only drifted in a short dis
tance on the lead. We will drift about
so to 80 feet, and if it looks as good
then as it does now we shall prepare
during the winter for a steady run af-
ter machinery can be got in next
spring. The fve-stamp mill now on
the property may be discarded, but on
that point as on many others our plans
are not complete.
''I shall take a careful sample of the
face of the tunnel within the next few
days and have test made. This will
be repeated frequently. l will remain
at the mine and be in and out of Elk
River until Thanksgiving and if I am
not disappointed the Jericho will pro-
vide all the turkey I will want for a
good many Thanksgiving.
But you can't tell about mine.
This one looks good; it's no pocket,
and we'll soon know if its values hold.
In the meantime I'll make no pro-
phecies. One thing is sure: If the
Jericho turns out to be as good as it
looks its not the only good lead in the
district

A few years back grouse were very
