den termination today during argu-
ment before the supreme court.
Chief Justice White informed counsel
for the coal company that he could
not see that his case had a leg to
stand on because II came to the su-
preme court by appeal instead Of on
a writ OF error. The argument pro-
ceeded. however. The court was
asked to reverse the decision of the

Sos 200 damages on q Of a rule
whereby the railroad deducted from
the total number of cars available TOR
distribution TO the coal all
cars owned by other mines. and rail-
roaG fuel cars. The Interstate Com

rule to he changed.
The case also involves the point OF
whether shippers may sue in the

Indian Must Not Take Booze

u. S. Senator Wesley L. Jones, Of
Washington, introduced a bill in con-
gress Monday providing a fine of 500
and not more than so days in jail for
any Indian soliciting or accepting in
toxicating liquor. The bill was intro
euced in accordance with a resolution
of federal grand jury which convened
recently in Spokane for a second ses-
sion Of the April term.
The grand jurors who sat in two
sessions of the April term were con-
vinced at the end Of the second ses-
sion that a new law should be passed
by congress making the solicitation or
acceptance Of liquor by an Indian as
big an ofense as that Of selling to an
Indian.

Says Companion Robbed Him

Rudolph Frank, who had been do
ing little too much celebrating for
several days, reported to the police
Tuesday that he had been robbed Of
$108 by chance acquaintance whom
he had only known a few hours. Eb-
erhardt, G. N. fireman, was accused
by Frank OF taking his roll, but the
next morning, after both of them had
spent the night in Jail, he changed
his mind and told the marshall that it
was all mistake, as he had previously
given the money to the fireman to
keep for him and had forgotten about
that when he made complaint. Eber-
hardt was allowed to 60 free, while
Frank was forced to pay fine of SIS
and costs

Mt. Ararat. At that time they owned
the earth, but they had no capital ex-

and that they had each saved SIS every
day since the food. They would have

CITY COUNCIL AND
COMMISSIONERS MEET
AdyisabiIity of Building Pest House By
County and City Discussed

At a joint meeting Of the city coun-
Gil and the county commissioners held
in the council chamber yesterday af-
ternoon the matter of building pest
house, the city and the county joining
in the expense, was under discussion,
The great expense to which the county
and the city has been put the past
year in taking care OF patients with
small pox and other infectious diseases
and how to avoid the expense, or
minimize it as much as possible, was
thrashed out and tentative agreement
reached to put up some kind Of bull
ding, the expense to be borne jointly
by the town and the county.
Right here The Echo will interpose
an objection unless something substan-
tial is proposed. A frame building
that will be torn down or burned up
inside of the first year will be poor
economy. If a building is to be put
up it should be built of concrete, with
a concrete floor. Then if the project
ors want to economic put a cheap
roof on the building until such time as
the town and county are able to put a
concrete roof on it. With concrete
walls and floor the roof can be burned
and the walls remain uninjured, or the
building can be fumigated without
danger OF setting fire to the building
with material damage. Or it can be
flooded without serious damage. The
difference between a frame and con-
crete building will not be more than a
few hundred dollars and will prove
economical the first year and every
year thereafter, and can be added to
as need may require. To put up
frame building for pest house would
be piece Of folly and false economy
that it would seem nothing but chill
dren would be guilty Of.

WORK ON MARBLE QUARRIfS
TO BE RESUMED SHORTLY
Hon. John D. Atkinson Spent Several
Days Here This Week and Made
Trip to Quarries

Mr.. Atkinson dropped into The
Echo Office one day this week to say
that interest in the marble proposition
to which reference has been made in
this paper in the past, has not died out
BY any means. He says that the
companies operations have been ham,
pered by the tightness Of money. The
opening Of marble property is a pro-
position that requires large amount
Of money and while men with money
have become interested in the prop
erty they counsel going slow at this
time because there is no immediate
prospect for a large demand in bull
ding material at this time. Mr.. At
kinson says, however, that considerable
work will be done on the property next
month. The building Of good wagon
road between two and three miles long
to connect the quarry with the Red
mountain state road will be the first
undertaking. After the road is COM
pleted force of men will be put to
work opening up the quarry to show
what large quantity OF good marble
the company has.
The closing up of gap some twelve
or thirteen miles long from the end OF
the Wenatchee Valley Northern Rail
way to the quaries will give direct rail
transportation, and this will be one of
the first important steps taken when
the company gets ready to commence
onerations.

his past. Mr.. Lamb was well edu-
Gated, refined and very modest man.
Last year, against his inclination he
became a candidate for county trea-
surer at the earnest solicitation of his
many friends in Leavenworth and vi
cinity, and was beaten by less than a
hundred votes. He inspired every
man with whom he came in contact
with confidence and respect and was
universally esteemed by all who knew
him. It was the writer's pleasure to
know him quite intimately and he can
say without reserve that he was one of
the kindliest, cleanest thinking and
best men he ever knew, and is proud
to have been numbered among his
friends.
The remains were laid TO rest in the
Leavenworth cemetery Monday at II
a. m. Religious services were con-

Death of lyman Lamb

It is with sincere sorrow and regret
that we have to announce the death Of
Mr.. Lamb last Sunday afternoon, at
twenty minutes past one, aged 6S
wears and seven months. He was
born at Leeds, Province of Quebec,
Canada, November II, 1848. In
1867 he came to the United States,
settling in Wisconsin. In 1874 he
followed the rush to the Black Hills,
North Dakota. In 1900 he came to
Washington and spent season in
Alaska. Returning to this state he re-
moved TO Leavenworth in the fall OF
1905 and bought tract OF land in the
Cascade Orchards, which ne improved
bv building a substantial home and
setting out an orchard, and has since
made his home here. He is survived
by his wife and four children, George
Lamb, %; James Lamb, ~; MISS
Geniyeve Lamb, Is and Miss 1rma
Lamb, IS years. He also has two
brothers living, George Lamb, residing
at Montreal, Canada, and John Lamb,
at Detroit, Michigan. Mr.. Lamb sui-
fered from bladder troubles and was
operated on in the wenatchee hospital
in February last. He survived the
operation but never gained much
strength.
Mr.. Lamb held number OF posi-
,ions of trust in the state OF Dakota,
which we learned accidentally from a
stranger, neither himself or the family
ever having mentioned any fact about

BIG GAINS MADE IN
RAILROAD EARNINGS
Agent Lee Says Ticket Sales for Month
of June Nearly Double Same
Months Last Year

Among the many indications that
Leavenworth continues to grow, we
call attention to a report given to the
Echo this week by Great Northern
Agent F. M. Lee. Mr.. Lee who has
been located in this city for seven or
eight years states that the business Of
his Office has shown big gains every
year since he came here, but that this
years increase exceeds all gains in the
past.
During the month Of June past, the
ticket sales amounted to $5037.12 as
against $3106.6 go in June Of last year,
an increase of $1o30.52. During the
first week in July the ticket sales
amounted to $1696.10. which was
nearly double that Of last year at the
same time, when the receipts at the
end of the week totaled only $842.o0.
The volume of freight loaded and
unloaded here shows as big gain if
not larger than the sale OF tickets, and
according to Mr.. Lee this will be the
biggest year by far that the company
has ever had at this point. Last year
in the first week in July the freight
money received amounted to $555.28,
this year the amount was almost treb-
led, being $1546.73. Next year the
gain will probably be even larger than
this year and if business keeps up at
the rate it has been going it will not
be long before the railroad company
will build a new depot to take care Of
their patrons, which has been the
dream OF Leavenworth people for years.

LOGGER ATTEMPTS TO
ASSAULT CITY OFFICER
Marshall Pratt Applies His Billy and
Beats the Bad Man Into
Submission

Jack Lucy, logger, became very
bad man Wednesday evening when he
was lodged in Jail on account Of being
too boisterous. His first act was to
commence breaking up everything that
was capable Of being broken, and
tearing up things in general. To pro-
tect what little furniture that was left
in the room Marshal Pratt decided he
would place him in one of the smaller
cells, where he could rave to his hearts
content, and here's where trouble be-
gan in earnest. Go in there, well /
guess not, and then came the mixup.
He managed to get the marshall by
the throat, but at the same time Mr..
Pratt was not slow about getting his
billy into action and for few seconds
he played a regular tattoo on Lucy's
head, which had the desired effect for
he soon sank to the floor, saying he
had enough, and crawled into his cell,
in spite of his beating he never lost
consciousness and arose from the floor
smiling, which leads one to believe
that some peoples head surely must be
solid ivory.
He appeared before Judge Grant
yesterday and received a fine of 800
and costs during which time he will be
