Proceedings of City Council

That no more building permits in
the fire limits be granted, where the
costs exceed $25, the amount speci-
fed by the ordinance, was the deci-
sion OF the council on Tuesday ev-
ening. A. D. Peppler and the firm
of Templin & Mckenzie had asked
permission to make additions to their
store rooms and other repairs, but on
account Of the fire risks and the in
creased insurance rates for abutting
property, the requests were denied.
Tuesday being the date for the re-
newal OF saloon licenses six applications
were filed accompanied by six one
thousand dollar checks and on motion
the licenses were granted,
By an agreement entered into be-
tween the city and the Tumwater
Light & Water Co., it was decided to
use the service pipes of the company
wherever possible, The making of
water rates was left to committee
with Instructions to report at the next
meeting. Plats Of Miller's Addition
and Stafford's addition were taken up
and approved.
Mr.. Cooks estimate on the i'm
provement of Cascade street, known as
Improvement District No. was ST.
036. 10 which does not include surfac-
ing. There is twelve half acre tracts
in the district and the cost will run
about $170 a lot. There being no
protests against the improvement the
city attorney was instructed to prepare
an ordinance for the same.
An ordinance making the salary of
the Marshall 500 and the deputy
marshall S85 came up for the second
reading and was passed. Mr.. Robert
son who was recently made water COM
missioner was notified to take up his
duties the first of April.

Large additions were recently made tc
the motive power. The passenger cai
equipment will also receive large addi-

1t is generally understood that F. P.
Connolly will have charge of the grad
ing for the additional sidings which are
to be put in. There will be eleven
tracks. each with a capacity for eighty
FIVE cars. The first lead will leave the
main line east of the new ice house.
The round house is located very
nearly on the site of the old one and
that as we'll as the repair shops, black
smith shops and store house will be
constructed OF concrete, brick and steel.
All the improvements are to be of the
most substantial and enduring charac-
ter. A large steam shovel will be used
in cutting down the high points thru
which the sidings will have to be built.
This is expected to arrive here some
time next month, after which work will
shortly begin.

That the Great Northern railroad
company has had under consideration
for some time the building of 81
stall round house and a large machine
shop and other buildings Of very SUBJ
stantial nature, in truth, brick and
concrete, has been known to railroad
men for some time, but this paper
hesitated making the statement public
until such time as it could be made
without qualification. 1t is now set
that work on the improvement will
begin inside of thirty days. In
addition to a large and substantial
round house there will be large ma
chine and repair shop. The trackage
of the yards will be practically doubled.
The blue print of the round house,
which has been seen by railroad men,
is located just west Of the location of
the coal chutes. A crew of engineers
has been here this week checking up
on some work previously done.
1t is we'll known that every trans
continental railroad is making prepara-
tions to handle the passenger traffic
which the great San Francisco exposi-
ton will create in 1915, as we'll as the

MAN OWNS
FORTY ACRE ORCHARD
Was Here This Week-Likes the Look
of Things and Has no Fear for
Future of Apple Industry

Mr.. Frank I. Curtis, of Seattle, own
er OF very fine forty acre apple or
chard which will come into bearing in
two years, located about one and one
half miles east OF Leavenworth, was
here the first of the week and called
on The Echo. He says Seattle is
looking forward to the opening of the
Panama canal and confidently believes
it will give the entire west coast an
uplift.
Mr.. Curtis says he has been on his
fruit ranch and was pleased with the
way things look. He does not fear
serious results from the present de-
preston in the apple industry. He
believes it is only temporary and will
soon again take its place as one of the
most profitable occupations in the
northwest. Of course we orchardists
must devise some way to turn all the
present orchard waste into profit and
we must organize and perfect the dis
tribution and sale Of orchard products.
In keeping quality, in freedom from
imperfections and in coloring, Wash
ington apples are not surpassed by any
and equaled by few. These points
must always cut large figure in fixing
the price of our product.

HUSBAND RESISTS WIFPS
ACTION FOR DIVORCE
R. {. Leslie Denies that he has Been
Cruel to his Wife and Will Not
Agree to Payment of AIimOny

A divorce contest in the Superior
court has been started by Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert c. Leslie of Leavenworth, says
the Wenatchee World. The wife is
plaintiff and alleges cruelty, violence
and inadequate support. She asks
custody OF FIVE year old daughter,
for complete separation, for division Of
property which consists of four lots in
this city bought on contract, for pay
ment of S25 per month alimony and
for payment OF Attorney L. J. Nelson S
fee.
Mrs. Leslie further states in the
complaint that her husband has very
violent temper and that on September
IS, 1912, he struck her in the face,
causing the flesh to turn black and
blue. She says he has very selfish
disposition and has forced her to earn
part of the living, otherwise compelling
her to do without necessaries for her
self and little daughter.
The husband, who is an engineer
working part Of the time, denies almost
every allegation. His version Of the
personal encounter is that Mrs. Leslie
attempted to take a piece Of paper
away from him and that he slapped
her." He will resist payment Of ali
mony, and declares that he has at no
time failed to provide adequate support.

at Eacker's hall in Parma. They
talked corn and alfalfa. The
audience numbered practically
200 at each place. and many of

iugs. and followed the speakers
10 the depot. Wen bet that
those two men never put in a
more strenuous day during their
1000 mile trip, on which on the

talks per day.
A certain manufacturing firm
has set aside $1.O0O,00O for in
struction in regard to food
plants, the care of food animals
and all matters relating to agri-
culture. 1t has placed the spend
ing of that sum in the hands of
Professor p. G. Holden, the

in the world. With a special
train and 25 assistants Prof.
Holden has been teaching the
farmers of northern Idaho and
eastern Washington the virtues
of corn aud alfalfa as a balanced

Kingman Kolony across the
Snake river Prof. Holden was
the guest of Mr.. Kingman. and
didn't come to Parma, but be

one at an expense of $50, outside
the labor. They showed that
sweet clover WAS next TO alfalfa
in value AZ n feed. and could be
grown on salt grass laud. They
showed the advantages of di.
versified farming, and that al
falfa could be made to pay at
least SIS per ton bv feeding it

C0LLMAR CIRCUS
HERE MONDAY
WILL PITCH TENTS ON CIRCUS GROUNDS
IN THE FIFTH WARD AND PERFORM
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

Those who are disposed to be skeptical
regarding the size and merit of the Coll
mar Brothers Circus will have all doubts
dispelled by seeing the tremendous spec
tacular street display given by that con-
Germ on the principal streets of this city.
The Pageant of the Gollmar Brothers
is complete surprise. 1t is lengthy
professional array, such as can only be
produced by the fortunate combination
of unlimited wealth, undaunted courage,
original ideas, and determination to
eclipse all similar displays That the
Gollmars have succeeded in achieving
their purpose is generally conceded.
The parade is like their circus. "The
highest class in the world"
Instead OF the wooden dens, the Coll
mar Brothers adopted the monster steel
cages and dens, each one being almost
as large and as strong as the average
railroad car.
The GOllmars were among the first
showmen to make feature of fine
horses. They were first to make feat
ure of the ever attractive Shetland
ponies, and this season hove in parade
and ''horse fair" more of these child
ren's pets then are to be found with all
other circuses.
Managed under lofty ideals, it is not
strange that the length, brilliancy. at
tractiveness, and instructiveness of the
matchless G0lmar Brothers parade is
revelation to all who have never seen 1t,
while the constant progressiveness Of
this amusement institution also ast0unds
those who have witnessed it annually.
