No Change in Ownership of the Echo

The report, printed in Wenatchee
paper last week, to the effect that The
Echo had been sold, is premature. An
exchange of the Quid pro quo, highly
important, before the Echo changes
hands, has not been made at the time
this paper Is printed. The Echo is
for sale, has been for a year past, but
has never been on the bargain counter,
and with the outlook for the future Of
this town it is not likely to be found
there by any one hunting newspaper.
While the publisher is no longer in
the "Morne and liquid dew Of youth,
he has no thought of being Ostlerized.
He has devoted the past ten years to
indoor occupation, worked pretty hard,
and desires a change, believing out
door work would be good for his liver.
He has not grown rich publishing The
Echo, and is not eligible for the prize
offered by Phineas T. Barnum for the
man who has grown rich publishing a
country newspaper. He never felt
rich enough to wear diamond ring,
own an automobile or run for office,
and vet he is richer than Rockefeller
or Morgan, because he is not con-
sumed with desire to own the earth
and the fullness thereof; he is richer
than either of these slaves of mammon,
because he is contented; his waking
hours are not disturbed by stock f1uc-
tuations or his slumbers by Dantean
visions of hell, or what Burns called
the hangman's whip.
No, The Echo is not sold, but if
some man comes along and is willing
to pay what the publisher consid-
ers it worth he will not have to con-
suit creditors or get the consent of
mortgage to make a transfer. There
will simply be an exchange of one
good thing for another, and the pub
Usher will go and wander among the
vine clad hills and citron groves of
the Sunny South and lead Gypsy life
for a change.

The leading progressives Of the
state met in Seattle on the ninth and
tenth, yesterday and to-day, for the
purpose Of discussing plans of future
action, and an unusually large attend
ance was expected, the delegation
from Leavenworth could not get there
on account Of the blockade. After it
was announced that the road would
not be open by the eleventh it was too
late to go around by way Of the North
ern Pacific.

In Boosting for Leayenworh we Need
Your Help

Since the first OF the year we have
added twenty-odd new names to Our
subscription list, with the exception Of
two all residing in or near the town.
This is encouraging evidence that the
people OF Leavenworth appreciate the
effort the Echo is making to advertise
the advantanes Of the town and sur
rounding country. This is duty the
newspaper owes to the community in
which it is located and from which it
gets its support. Our efforts in this
direction are effective just in proper
ton as we have the support Of the
community-its help and assistance in
giving the paper the widest circulation.
We who live here know that Leaven-
worth and the upper Wenatchee valley
has many advantages which only need
10 be brought to the notice of those
who are seeking new location to pro-
duce results. Every citizen has friends
and acquaintance who might be inter-
ested in what we have to offer the
homeseeker. There are still some
forty odd families in Leavenworth and
we ought to have their help. Every
householder in Leavenworth should
take the Echo and if he finds anything
in it that would interest a homeseeker
or investor mail it. Don't you see,
however much we may boost for the
town and the valley our work is half
lost without your help.

The Idaho supreme court is getting
well roasted for sending three news
paper men to Jail and filming them $500
each for criticising the decisions Of the
court in very temperate language. The
court evidently intended to impress the
sacredness of its character upon those
newspaper men. Those who are out
side OF the state and the courts juris-
diction do not seem to be impressed
very favorably from the reading OF the
running comment. One naturally won
ders what the court would do to Theo-
dore Roosevelt if he went to Idaho.

The most inappropriate gift that Col.
Blethen could have thought Of to give
the state university was those chimes

of the STAINLESS character Of the donor,

JEWELS FROM BLAY SCALES
ThI. Much Known Of the Secret OF
the Creation Of Artificial
Pearls.

Az the real pearl comes from the
oyster. so to a large extent Is the
manufacture Of artificial pearls de-
pendent on a certain species Of fish.
The complete processes are Of course
trade secrets, but it is of interest to
note that it is from the brilliant
scales Of the ablet, or blay, that es-
sence d'Orient is produced and 1t Is
with this essence that imitation pearls
are manufactured.
The blay Is described as "a small
fish with green back and a white
belly" and the essence is obtained
exclusively from the white scales,
which are covered with a pigment OF
metallic appearance.
They are first treated with am
monia and then with fish glue, pow
der being first obtained and then a
paste which can be easily spread on
glass.
In the early stages Of manufacture,
about 1856, this essence d'Orient was
