Just a Word to Our Subscribers

We have more or less complaint
every week from our city subscribers
about not receiving The Echo. Every
subscribers name is set up in type and
the type run thru machine, in put
ting the address on the paper. If the
name was written it might be possible
to overlook a name but a machine
does not, and can not make the mis-
take of overlooking a name. When
the machine does not work properly it
will not address one single paper.
When it works it addresses every one
without the possibility Of a mistake.
Every subscribers paper is put in the
postoffice with rare exception Friday
morning between 7 and 1880 o'clock.
OF course we can not know who Of our
local subscribers fail to receive their
Echo each week, nor the reason, but
if they will call at the office we will
gladly give to each and every one a
paper. We assume that our patrons
have subscribed for the Echo because
they want it, and we earnestly desire
that they should not miss single is
sue, the offer to give to all who fail to
receive it copy is in fulfllment of
this desire. When you call at the Of
fee to get missing copy you pay US
the highest compliment that can be
paid a newspaper, you show that you
are interested in it.

Bonding for Municipal Ownership of
Water

Before another issue of The Echo
is mailed to its readers the voters OIL
the town of Leavenworth will be called
on to decide whether this town shall
be supplied with the best water fol
drinking purposes that it is possible to
get. Municipal ownership Of its water
system not only means the best water
that can be obtained but it means an
abundant supply for both domestic use
and also for fire protection. If one Of
the public school building catches fire
both will burn as they are close to-
gether. We dare not think of such a
calamity, as it would practically mean
that the town would be without schools
for at least eight months. Let this
thought sink deep into the minds Of
every parent. 1t should also COM
mand the serious attention of property
owners on the north side.
If this matter is put off indefinitely
it will never be possible to improve
the quality Of the water proposed to be
gotten. Let us have an abundant supply
OF pure water first, then let US take up
the sewer question, after. these two
public questions are disposed of in the
order named then it will be time
enough to take up street improve
ment. Let these matters be disposed
of in the order Of their importance
to the public.

Put County Office on a NOn-PartiSan
Basis

Officers of the county are simply
the business agents Of the people of
Chelan county and should be taken
out Of politics, thus believing we shall
advocate the passage Of law by the
next legislature putting all county Off
GERS on a non-political basis. 1t can
make no difference whether a county
officer is a republican, democrat or
progressive. The taxpayers of the
county are interested in having honest
and capable men to attend to the bust
ness affairs of the county. Allow as
many as want to announce for every
office in the county and let the voters
decide who is in every way the best
qualified.

The Echo favors municipal owner
ship of the water system for number
of reasons. First, that we may have
the best water that it is possible to gel
and an abundance Of it for all purposes.
Second, because under municipal own
ership profit does not enter into the
problem. Third, because it will moi
only be cheaper to consumers but will
also be an inducement to people who
are hunting a location to settle in
Leavenworth. Think this over.

Those newspapers which thru fear OF
prosecution will not expose fakirs that
come into the community to separate
people from their money with stock
selling schemes, or, for that matter,
any other method of getting money
without giving an equivalent, whether it
be selling worthless land, represent
ing it to be good, or whatever the par
ticular graft may be, are only little
less deserving of confidence and sup
port than the newspapers that willfally
and deliberately, for private gain, re-
trains from exposing crookedness. In
the past The Echo has been threat
ened with prosecution for telling what
it knew about certain people and their
schemes, who are the opposite of
straight. Fear of prosecution will in
no event deter this paper from telling
what it can prove to be true. In the
meantime if you know anything that
will discredit the editor OF The Echo,
and are prepared to prove its truth,
tell or print it. If not prepared to
prove its truth think twice before you
print or tell it.

men would otherwise be idle. For this
very reason it can be done cheaper, it
is point that will be taken into con-
sideration by contractors. Three
fourths of the sum will be paid out for
labor. The town will get the benefit
of the expenditure and the people will
get the benefit of pure water for drink
ing purposes and an abundant supply
for fire protection. Give these
thoughts a chance to soak into your
system.

Woman to Be Auctioneeer.

New York--To Mrs. Eli Sobel will
come the distinction of being the first
female auctioneer ever appointed in
this state. Mrs. Sobel, who is the
widow of a well-known auctioneer,
wrote to Mayor Gaynor asking him
for license to continue her husbands
business. He found there was no ordi-
nance which prohibits a woman from
presiding over the auction block.
He accordingly dictated letter to.
Mrs. Sobel, informing her that so far
as he was concerned she could auction
off anything she pleased in competi-
ton with the male Of the species.
He added, however, that she would
first have to go down to the city
clerks Office and pay 500 fee for an
auctioneer's license, and also leave a
bond of $4,000. which is required by
the statutes.

lowered, men and women alike began
TO press closer and closer, in an effort
TO get one glimpse more, until those
In the front ranks had been forced
onto the planking which covered four
fifths of the big trench.
A moment later the planking gave
way and forty of the mourners were
plunged headlong down upon the cas-
ket, and into the wreck of the timbers
that had protected the other graves.
Their shrieks spread among the 9TH
ers, and the disorder that ensued was
not quelled until reserves from the
Fourth and Fifth avenue police sta
tons had been called out on the run.
At the same time calls were sent
for the ambulances from the Method
list, Episcopal and Norwegian hospit-
ais. Before they could reach che
cemetery, however, the struggling men
and women in the graves had been
extricated, bundled into carriages and
driven hurriedly away.
Several of the mourners were seri-

Gluck Not a Courtier.

Gluck, the composer, was not OF the
sort of men of whom courtiers are
made. One day he attended at the
court at Vienna a concert at which
the Emperor Joseph ii and one of his
archdukes sang a fragment from one
OF Gluck's compositions. Naturally
enough, the imperial artists glanced
at the composer to see how he was
impressed by the honor they were do
ing him. They were shocked to OBJ
serve that he was making a series of
grimaces. The emperor stopped and
inquired whether he and the archduke
were not singing the bit according to
Gluck's idea Of how it should be done.
MY ideal" exclaimed Gluck. Why,
sire, | am the poorest walker in the
world, but would vastly rather take
a walk of six leagues than be forced
to hear a composition of my own in
terpreted in such a way as that" Jo-
seph ii was brave enough to take no
notice of the criticism, but the court
was quite convinced that if such a re-
proach had been addressed to the
Car Nicholas the composer would
have prosecuted his musical studies
from that time forth under the un.
favorable surroundings of the Siberian
mines.

for the experience by suffering a
