State Tax Commission is Necessary

That their work would be seriously
hampered and that the state tax COM
mission is absolutely necessary as the
head OF the assessors Of the state, was
the opinion of the county assessors
who met in Olympia on January 20,
and who went on record in favor of the
continuance Of the tax commission,
which they say would be serious loss
to the state if abolished.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1913-02-07

or normal crops in succession, says Mr..
Darlington, although such thing is a
possibility. The 1907 and the 1908
crops were both full or normal crops.
The severe winter of 1908-o caused a
very short crop in 1909. Because the
1909 crop was short and the trees had
chance to form fruit buds and store
up energy that year the 1910 crop
was an exceptionally big crop. The
1911 crop was only a fair crop, prob
ably because the trees overbore in
1910. But in that year the average
bearing per tree was considerably
more than in 1909. AS a matter of
fact the Wenatchee district shipped in
1911 more fruit than all the rest OF
the state together. The 1912 crop
might be considered full or bearing
crop. While the average bearing per
bearing apple tree was greater in 1912
than it was in 1910, I believe that it
was greater only because the average
age Of the bearing trees was greater.
In fact, l believe the 1910 crop was
more exceptional crop than that Of
1912.
In 1910 there were in the district
901,996 bearing apple trees which
bore on an average of 2.87 boxes per
tree. In 1918 there will be in the
district 1,377,546 bearing apple trees.
Figuring then at the same average
bearing per tree we should have this
year 3,952,575 boxes of apples, or
6,082 carloads, figuring $50 boxes to
the car.
In 1912 there were in bearing in the
district 216,677 peach trees, which
bore an average OF 2.72 boxes per
tree according to the shipping figures.
Had there been no peach trees de-
stroyed there would have been in
bearing in the district in 1913 about
232,83o trees. l would estimate,
however, that about rs per cent of all
the peach trees in the district have
been taken out this fall. There would
then be left 1882 trees. II the
average remains the same in 1913 We
should have 474,oo1 boxes, or ap-
proximately 432 carloads of peaches. -"
He bases his estimates on the other
fruits in the same manner.

BOOM COMING WITH
OPENING OF SPRING
Numerous Brick Business Blocks will be
Built and Many Other Improve
ments Being Talked of

Every indication points to one of
the greatest development areas in the
history Of Leavenworth with the COM
ing of spring, and without exaggeration
we will say that before another year
rolls around we will witness scene of
activity in and about this city that
promises to exceed all expectations.
Everything is in readiness and wait
ing for the snow to leave the town
when a building boom is expected.
Among the buildings likely to be
erected will be 50-room modern ho-
tel on the corner OF Ninth and Com
mercial streets. Paul Weigand has
plans under way for building on
the same corner, work on which will
commence work at an early date in
the spring. A. c. Barclay is planning
to erect two story brick on his lots
on Front street adjoining The Frank
building but has not as yet announced
when work will begin.
There were twenty or more sub
stantial residences erected the past
year, but there is still a scarcity OF
dwelling houses and the coming year
will no doubt see many new homes
erected. There is hardly a day goes
by that this Office does not have from
two to three inquiries for houses and
the demand will be even greater in
the spring when the mills start up and
new families come to the city. AS
there are but few houses to be had
most of the new coners will likely
buy lots and put up their own houses.
The Lamb-D Davis and Leavenworth
lumber companies expect to begin
operations about the first of March and
the two mills will employ between
three and four hundred men half of
whom at least will have families and
come from outside Of the city.
Mr.. Rothert, manager of the Wash
ington Steel & Iron Company states
that his company will be making steel
before the middle Of the summer and
once in operation the company will
employ a large force of men. The
Wenatchee Valley & Northern Railway
is planning extensive improvements
this year and will likely extend their
track to Lake Wenatchee before the
summer is over. They have already
purchased big new engine and will
have more new rolling stock here in
few weeks.
The Great Northern Railway it is
said will erect a new round house this
summer and make numerous other
changes in that part Of town which will
greatly facilitate the handling OF trains.
Taking everything into considera-
ton Leavenworth's payroll will in
round numbers be $4,000 every
month, most of which will go back
into the channels Of trade right here in
Leavenworth and without doubt this is
going to be the most prosperous year
that the citizens Of this city have yet
seen.
If you have any friend in the east
or any other part of the country who
wants to come to live town, one
which is destined to startle the state
ere long, tell them to come to Leaven-
worth and grow up with the town.
The slogan from now on will be,
Watch Leavenworth Grow"

Home Is Home.

In times of great floods one frequent
ly hears the question. why do people
live in such places?" To those who
know little of floods from personal ex
perience the answer is not easy, but
the world is made up of great many
kinds of people and these inhabitants
OF the world are engaged in a great
variety of occupations. The bottom
lands are highly productive, the floods
come at widely separated intervals,
some have short memories of flood
privations and others are willing to
take the chances.
In all probability few weeks hence
and the bottom lands along the Ohio
will be occupied as usual and familiar
forms and faces will be seen going
about the affairs of life in their accus-
toned way. With the dreadful expert
ence the families living on the Point.
as it is called in Louisville, one would
suppose they would never return to
that place, but home is home, even if
you are in danger of being washed
away; and We are sure they would feel
like ducks out of water elsewhere.

Memory OF Henry Clay Is ReVered On
His Birthday.

The day set aside by Pennsylvania
University to honor the memory of
Henry Clay was observed in fitting
fashion on Friday morning at the chap
ell exercises. twas the one hundred
and thirty-sixth anniversary of his
birth.
The speaker of the morning was Mrs
Desha Breckenridge, a great grand
daughter of the great Pacifcator and
there were also present upon the plat
form Mrs H. C. Mcdowell, grand
daughter, Mrs. Thomas c Bullock and
Mrs Minor Simpson, great grand
daughters of Henry Clay.
President CrOssfeld, of Pennsylvania
made brief address in presenting Mrs
Breckenridge, and outlined Henry Clay's
services to the University, he having
been a professor in it's law school as
early as 1904, and curator of the in
stitution at the time of his death. He
was in many other ways actively inter-
ested in the welfare of the University
and for his services to it as we'll as to
Kentucky and the nation, Pennsylvania
has placed his name in it's calender.
An especial appeal was make to the
young women among Mrs. Breckinrid-
ge's hearers, who were reminded that
they were the heirs and beneficiaries of
the women who half a century ago
fought for the right of higher education
for women. She pointed out that every
branch of government, depends upon
women for advice and help and said
that all that the suffrage movement
asked was that the men, who in their
public affairs, from charities boards to
juvenile courts, are continually calling
upon the women for aid, would recog-
nize their obligation to give women an
equal voice and an equal responsibility.
The close of the address was marked
by remarkable demonstration of ap.
plause, and the speakers platform al
the close of the chapel exercises wa:
the scene of an enthusiastic informa
congratulation.
A number of mementoes of the pub
lie services of Henry Clay were shown
to the audience during the exercises
and were inspected by MANY of til,
students at the close.
