Cost of a Burial

Two years ago James Connors, an
unknown and friendless hod carrier,
was found dead in East St. Louis. He
died possessing a certificate of deposit
for S1,526.25. The undertaken who
buried Connors brought suit for his
bill. Here is the bill:
For casket, 5000; for outside cedar
box, 500; for flowers, s35; for 10
carriages, S108; S12 for a hearse and
$40 for horse net. Incidentals and
morgue fees brought the total amount
to S1,122.
The Judge Of the court refused to
allow the bill, and has just set time
for hearing testimony as to the cor
rectness Of the charge.
Were all undertakers possessed of a
set of nerves similar to this ones the
craft would soon face starvation, be-
cause so few OF US could afford to die.

MORE THAN IA YEARS
Record Kept by Forestry Department
Shows That III Inches of Snow
Has Fallen Thus Far this Year

According to a record kept by Mr..
Springer at the Forestry Departments
offices on Commercial street, just 9
feet and three inches of snow has fallen
so far this year. During the month Of
January which saw the hsaviest fall,
the records show 8 feet 101a inches.
From all over the state reports come
in of heavier snow fall than in pre-
vious years and from report sent out
by the Weather bureau it has been
greater than at any time in the last
fourteen years.
During the month of January 230
inches or 1o feet and Q inches was the
snowfall at Cascade Tunnel and from
railroad men It is learned that there is
still from fifteen to eighteen feet on a
level which is expected to cause some
serious trouble in that locality when
the spring thaw sets in. At Blewett

IRON ORE AND MACHINERY
FOR THE STEEL PLANT
Arrived Last Friday-0re From Ham,
iIton, Wash. Machinery From
Pittsburg

The smaller of the two steam ham
mers ordered for the steel mill arrived
last Friday. 1t has been on the way
from the east for some time and was
tied up in the snow blockade in the
Rockies. The hammer constituted a
car load, there being little else in the
car beside the hammer. The anvil
weighs practically 5000 pounds and
the hammer $4,000. The large ham
mer which weighs more than twice as
much has not yet been shipped.
Manager Rothert says he has found
it necessary to build a hammer house
adjoining the main building on the
south side, work on which will begin
soon.
The first car of ore arrived last week
and was unloaded in the storage bins.
1t comes from Hamilton, Washington,
a short distance north of Everett, and
is practically of the same class Of ore
as that at Blewett, the company hav-
ing secured control of it the past sum-
mer. More of it will be coming in
soon and the storage bins filed:
The excavation for the large fur
mace, in the main building, is COM
plete and work on the foundation will
soon begin. The brick for the founda-
ton and fire brick for lining the fur
naces are on the ground. Some
change in the pump which will supply
the water for the boilers was made the
past week.

Virginia Apples at Wenatchee
228 w. los, New York

An exhibit of apples in the window
of Wells & Morris, Wenatchee. may
not be as fine as many previous dis
plays of fruit at the same place, but
none have ever caused fruit growers
to sit up and take notice" as this one
does. The apples were not even
grown in this valley. In fact, that is
why they draw so much attention.
The fruit was sent by John A. Gellatly
from Baltimore and the samples are
Virginia grown apples. They show
conclusively that Wenatchee fancy and
c grade apples are in direct competi-
ton with eastern grown apples. They
show conclusively that Wenatchee
fancy and c grade apples are in direct
competition with eastern grown apples
OF superior quality. The most striking
thing about the exhibit is the color OF
the fruit. 1t is impossible to put more
color on fruit than one can see on
these Virginia Winesaps, Rome Beau
ties, Jonathans. Ben Davis, Northern
Spy, York Imperial and American
Beauty. They are not large, but are
Of the favorite four-tier size.

BUILD SHINGLE MILL
ON LAKE WANATChfF
Plans of Promoters are to Have Plant
in Operation this Summer-TO
Contract for Cedar

According to a rumor about town
this week work on a big shingle mill
to be located at the foot OF Lake We
natchee will begin within few weeks.
Appleton & Carter are the promoters
of the new enterprise and from all ac-
counts they have already secured a
site from the forestry department and
intend to have the mill in operation
some time in June.
Just what the size of the mill or its
capacity is to be is not known at this
time. Messrs. Carter and Applegate
have been up in the vicinity of Lake
Wenatchee for several days and their
return is looked for in a few days when
they will likely give out more definite
information. There are millions and
millions of feet Of cedar near the lake,
and in the White river valley and our
informant states that from fifteen to
twenty million feet OF timber will be
contracted for by the new company by
the time they begin the erection OF
their plant. Most OF the cedar which
lies at the head of the lake will be
hoated down to the foot of the lake in
RATS. 1t is the plan of the promoters
to haul their finished product to the
railroad, distance of about five miles,
with wagons where it will be loaded
into cars.
Messrs. Appleton and Carter are not
unknown to the people of Leaven-
worth, the former having had charge
of the construction OF the dam for the
Great Northern power house several
years ago. Mr.. Carter only recently
resigned his position at the Great North
ern power house where he was the chief
operator.
Forest Supervisor Sylvester states
that there is close to 30,000,000 feet
of timber in the Lake Wenatchee
country and it is his understanding
that the promoters of the mill intend
to put in a plant which will handle s.
100000, feet each year. According
to this figure the output OF shingles
each year would be 30,000,0o0 or l.
100000 punches.

WE NEED THAT HOTEL
NO PLACE TO SLEEP
PrOspectOrs Coming Here Every Week
Can Not Always Find Sleeping
Accommodations

We have frequently called attention
to the need Of a hotel and additional
sleeping accommodations in the past
few weeks. Lacking the gift of pro-
phetic vision we can not but see
with unerring certainty the necessity
for good hotel and additional sleep
ing accommodations as well as addi-
tional rent houses and some business
houses. It will make no difference
whether we want the town to grow or
not, it is going to grow in spite of all
you or any one else can do to stop it,
and we must have more houses before
the summer is over. Inside OF forty
eight hours we could rent twenty-five
three, four and FIVE room houses. We
do not want any boom, and will oppose
anything of the kind, but we do want
to see good, strong, healthy growth,
and promise to do all we can to pro-
mote it. We want people to come
here to build homes, to cultivate our
unoccupied lands and make them pro-
ductive.
R. E. Miller, from Portland, repre-
senting a cream separator company,
called at this office Wednesday after
noon and in the course of his remarks
said, Say, this town must be going
some. When I got in here last night
at Q o'clock l had an awful time finding
a place to sleep. I have been all over
the state and never before found
place so crowded as this is. What's
the matter Is the town on a boom ?"
This is the second time within the
past week that the necessity for more
hotel and sleeping accommodations
has been brought to the attention of
The Echo. Every year for the past
eight years this same cry has gone up,
but this spring it is more insistent and
longer and louder than ever before.
Every summer for the past eight years
from twenty-five to fifty rent houses
have been erected and every following
spring the same cry for more houses
has gone up. Yesterday lady came
into the Office looking for a four or five
room house, saying the family had
moved here from Everett where she
said they left their home, and that
houses OF four and five rooms rented
for from So to S12 per month. Here
they want SIS and $40 per month for
houses not as we'll built and furnished
with fewer conveniences. The edi-
tor of The Echo suggested that the
reason for this lay in the fact that the
people of Everett and other towns
come here to get employment which
makes vacant houses there and creates
a demand here.

Van de Grift Sued by Railroad

The Great Northern Railway on Mon
day filed summons and complaint
against P. w. Van de Grit. The de-
fendant is charged with acknowledging
trespass on railroad land and cutting
70,-188 feet Of yellow pine at $1.50 a
thousand, but he refuses to pay the
S110. The suit is brought to get
judgement for that amount. The land
is situated on what is known as the
little Chumstick.

is submitted, because the whole coun-
try has followed the investigation, and
every man knows that there is dan
gerous concentration of money and
credit power in New York. Students
Of the question realize that this condi-
ton is due to our antiquated banking
system, which permits the redepositing
Of country bank reserves with the big
banks, and makes Stock Exchange Sc
curities the only liquid basis of credit.
The way to put an end to the danger
is by reforming the system which is at
fault.

CHELAN COUNTY SPORTSMEN
OPPOSE NEW GAME BILL
Atty. Gray of Spokane Goes to Olympia
to Represent Interests of Eastern
Washington in Game Measure

Local sportsmen are not in favor
Of the enactment of the Collins fish
and game bill known as substitute SEN
ate bill No. 8, which has passed the
senate. According to Game Warden
Scheble the Chelan County Game and
Fish Protective association is unani-
mously opposed to this bill and be-
lieYe it vicious in its provisions.
Sportsmen say the Collins bill pro-
vides for the appointment by the gov
ernor of state game and fish commits
sion of three members, two of whom
shall be residents of counties west of
the range and one east OF the range;
that this commission is to appoint a
state game warden who shall reside on
the east side, and that the governor
may name deputy game warden for
each county. In this respect, they
maintain the bill makes not only pos
sible but probable, the building of
huge political machine by the govern
or, and is therefore antagonistic to the
best interests of the preservation and
protection OF game.
Control of the fish and game is ta-
ken away from the counties and lodged
with the state commission. The bill
requires that all moneys paid for hunt
ing licenses shall be remitted quarterly
by the county treasurer to the state
treasurer; 25 per cent of this amount
is to be Immediately available to the
state game commission for the pay
ment OF salaries and expenses and the
remaining rs per cent may be spent
in the counties in which the licenses
have been issued. 1t is not manda-
tory that this shall be done, and there
is no assurance that it will be done.
The sportsmen gave their endorse
ment to house bill No. 404, intro
duced by the committee on game and
fish, and asked the members OF the
house from Yakima county to support
it and do their utmost to kill the Col
Inns BILL Bill No. 404 makes the
board of county commissioners a game
commission, with power to control the
expenditure Of money paid in for hunt
ing licenses, and authorizes the ap-
pointment Of county game warden,
with the authority of a deputy sheriff.
In this respect it is an improvement
over the present law. Now the game
warden has to secure from the sheriff
authority to make an arrest. The
house bill strengthens the present law
in other important respects.
The bill agreed upon makes a sep
arate game season from that of the
ives: side. Attorney A. G. Gray Of
Spokane, left for the state capital to-
day to represent the interests Of east
ern Washington in the game measure
which comes up this week.

shaStin Die at WenatChee

L. B. Roberts, the engineer who was
injured in a collision OF freight trains
near Wenatchee on the 11th of Sep
tember, died in Wenatchee at at early
hour Monday morning. Mr.. Roberts,
whose spinal column was supposed to
have been broken in the accident, has
fingered between life and death for the
past four months and undoubtedly suf-
fered untold agonies. In spite of this
he made valiant fight for life and
several weeks ago the attending ply
sician gave out the information that he
would recover but other complications
set in and his death had been expected
hourly for week or more.
He was aged SO years, II months
and II days. The deceased was a
member OF the A. o. U. W., of
Rochester, Minnesota and also of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
of this city. The following engineers
acted as pail bearers: From Leaven-
worth. A. B. Westcott, Mr.. Clemmens,
Mr.. McNulty. From Hillyard, Otto
Donaldson, Ed Anderson, Mr.. Wagner.
The funeral services were held from
the Wenatchee Undertaking parlors in
Wenatchee Wednesday and were in
charge Of Rev. Laurie of the Presby-
terian church of Wenatchee and Rev.
Davis of this city.
Beside wife he leaves grown son
and daughter and two young children,
one being born since the accident in
September. The deceased's father,
mother and sister, who came out from
the east about two months ago are
still in Wenatchee.

Mrs. Dora Josephine Mccoy. wife Of
Delbert Mccoy Of Peshastin, died very
suddenly in Wenatchee Monday after
noon. She had apparently been in the
best of health until about ten days ago
when she became suddenly i'll and on
advice OF DR.. Judah was removed to
the Wenatchee hospital last Friday
where it was found that she was suf-
fering from very bad case Of appen-
dicitis. An operation occurred Sunday
and she seemed in a fair way to re-
covery until Monday afternoon when a
change came for the worse, death
coming about $50 that afternoon.
At the time of her death, Mrs. Nc
Coy was 40 years, 4 months and ten
days old and with her husband had
been resident Of the upper Wenat-
chez valley for nearly twenty years.
She formerly made her home in this
city, but for the past five years has re-
sided in Peshastin where Mr.. Mccoy
has conducted a mercantile business.
She has large circle of friends here
and in Peshastin and was also a popular
member of the Wenatchee Lodge Of
the Eastern Star.
Besides a husband she leaves a
daughter, Madeline, to mourn her un-
timely departure.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Davis from the Peshastin
church Wednesday afternoon after
which the remains were shipped to
Dayton, Wash, where they were laid
to rest by the side of her little son,
who was buried there years ago. In
this hour Of grief the bereaved relatives
have the sympathy Of the entire COM
munity.
