Mr.. Frank Kerrick, eastern sales rep
resentative Of the Lamb Davis Lumber
Co., with headquarters at Minneapolis,
spent several days here this week.
M. E. Brawner, a former resident Of
Leavenworth, writes from Tennessee
where he now lives to change the ad-
dress Of the Echo from Gleason to
Mckenzie, Tenn. He says the wea-
ther is warm and sunny in that coun-
try and he is enjoying the best of
health.
Mr.. Noble Little, from Waterloo,
Iowa, interested in some ten or more
lumber yards in his state was here this
week in conference with Mr.. Riggs,
general superintendent of the manu-
featuring department of the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co. He is an old Gus
toner of the company and expects to
handle large quantity of their output
this year.
B. H. Nickles who left here some
three months ago for Deming, New
Mexico returned to this city last
Friday and says he never was so dis
appointed in his life as he was with
that section of the country. He in
tends to remain here for several months
and will probably decide to remain in
this city indefinitely.
Forest Supervisor Sylvester left here
Just before the holidays for Portland,
where he had business with the district
forestry office. On his way home he
will stop a few days at North Yakima,
where on the 18th OF this month a
joint meeting OF the stock men from
the Rainier and Wenatchee national
forests and representatives of the de-
partment will be held.
In the past two weeks we have
heard a number Of people remark why
the eagle held in captivity in the city
park was not given its freedom. The
bird is not much of an attraction for
sight seers and if kept Gagged up much
longer it will soon die. We would be
heartily in favor of giving this emblem
of freedom its liberty.
Fire broke out in the vicinity of the
roundhouse Wednesday evening about
IL o'clock and completely destroyed a
fiat car before it was extinguished.
The fire was said to be caused
by a leakage OF oil into one Of
the engine pits which was ignited by
hot cinders. The fire made quite a
blaze for nearly two hours but no ser
ious damage was done.
Miss Dollie Anderson returned last
Friday from a visit to her sister, Mrs.
Chas. Wolcott who is residing at Ev-
erett. Miss Anderson says her sister
who is an invalid has not improved
since she left here several weeks ago.
Mrs. Wolcott wishes to thank her
many friends for the kindness they
showed her while in Leavenworth.
H. L. Hart, one of our highly es-
teemed patrons residing at Peshastin,
was shopping in Leavenworth last Sat-
urday. Mrs. Hart usually accompan-
les him on these trips but has been
quite sick for the past ten days. Miss
Lena Saupe, from Neilsville, Wiscon-
sin, an old friend of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hart, from their old home, is visiting
them.
George Siverly was down from the
lake last week and said that the snow
in the vicinity of the lake was un-
usually deep and it was only with the
utmost exertion that the road between
the lake and Leavenworth was kept
open. Mr.. Siverly said that every
citizen OF the lake region helped on
the road except w. F. Blankenship,
who for some reason would take no
part in trying to keep the road open.
