MAIL SERVICE CHANGES
AT LAKE WENATCHEE
Pioneer in Upper Country Here This
Week-Says His Section Will
Boom Next Year

Oliver Bates, hotel man and one Of
the largest property holders in the
Lake Wenatchee country, was in the
city for few hours Wednesday and re-
marked that the Telma mail is now
being thrown off at Winton instead Of
Chiwaukum, where it has been dropped
in the past. This cuts the distance to
the Telma postoffice, situated at Oliver
Bates at the head Of the lake, about
two and a half miles. Neil Thomp-
sons salary for carrying the mail has
been cut by the government officials
and to make up the distance Mr..
Bates says that the Telma postofice
will likely be moved about three miles
above his place. which will be even
more satisfactory to the residents Of
the White river valley. The shingle
mill he says. is running full blast and
will continue operations until after the
first of the year.
A considerable amount of property,
much of il lake shore lots, were sold
in that section the past summer and a
number of summer homes were built.
The residents Of the Lake Wenatchee
country are looking forward to the
coming year as the best ever.

WILL ASK COMMISSIONERS
FOR INTFRURBAN FRANCHISE
Hyman Harris of WenatChee Would Pro-
mote Building of Roadway Have
to Put up $4,000 Bond

At this session of the Chelan county
commissioners which began Monday it
is expected that Hyman Harris OF We
natchee will ask the commissioners for
franchise for the building Of an in
terurban electric line between Malaga
and this city. II is generally under
stood that Mr.. Harris has hackers who
will finance the construction OF the
road. Mr.. Harris has prepared copy
OF the kind OF franchise he would ask
Of the commissioners, but there will
likely be some trouble over the amount
Of a cash bond which the commission
will insist on having Mr., Harris put up
to show his good faith.
The commissioners have declared
that they will not give another fran
chise for the building of an interurban
line, unless a bond Of $4,000 was de-
posted. 1t is not believed that Mr..
Harris will agree to this amount. E.
J. Felt, formerly held a similar fran
chise to the one which Harris is ask
ing for, which expired several months
ago.
Should the Wenstchee man secure
a franchise from the county he will
Immediately apply to the municipal
ties along the route for franchises.

Death of Mrs. Rush Huston

The news of the death OF Mrs. Rush
Huston at hospital in Spokane last
Sunday will doubtless come as a shock
to her many friends in this city. Mrs.
Huston gave birth to twins about a
week before her death and was unable
to survive the shock. From Mr.. Hus-
ton we learn that both children will
live. The brave mother leaves a hus-
band and three children to mourn her
untimely departure. The remains
were taken to Seattle for burial.

LEAVFNWORTH HAS
SOCIALIST MAYOR
S. {. Woldenburg Defeats his Opponent
DR.. MCkeown by Margin of So
vOtes-Hot Time is Coming

In one of the warmest election cam
paigns in several years, S. c. Wolden.
burg, the socialist candidate for the
mayorality proved that he could come
back" by defeating his opponent DR..
A. G. McKeown, who headed the
citizens ticket, by majority Of So
votes. Out of approximately 500 reg
istered 465 voters expressed their
choice for mayor, which only falls a
little short of the vote cast in the pri
mary election month ago. In the
only other contest which was for coun-
cilman-at-large, c. E. Hamilton de-
feated Chas. Imbleau, the socialist can
didate by majority Of 8S votes.
Up to the last minute, both sides
claimed a victory for their man in the
race for mayor. In the first ward DR..
McKeown led by majority of Is
votes, in the second Mr.. Woldenburg
won out by II votes, and in the third
the socialist stronghold it was land
slide for their candidate, Woldenburg
receiving 112 votes to McKeown's 43.
That there will be a change in
number of appointive Offices and in the
conducting OF the affairs of the city is
the statement made by the new mayor
who will take up his duties after the
first OF the year. 1t is Mr.. Wolden-
burg's intention to fulfill all the pro-
misses he made before election. Among
the offices likely to be affected are the
police judgeship, the chief of police
and the water commissioner. Mr..
Woldenburg' has ideas of his own in
regard 70 economy in these positions
which he says he will bring before the
council when he takes his seat.
1t is very evident that he will make
an effort to remove some OF the pre-
sent office holders, but has not made
it known who he favors. From all
indications the council is not going to
agree with Mr.. Woldenburg on many
things, so there is likely to be hot
old time after the first Of the year.
Mr.. Woldenburg is very much in
favor of the building Of subway un-
der the Great Northern tracks west Of
the depot, which the Echo has advo-
Gated for FIVE or six years, and says he
will do all in his power to get it built
next year. In this he will doubtless
have the support Of the entire city, as
it is one of Leavenworth's most needed
Improvements.
The cost of building the subway
would be approximately $4,000 and it
will likely be the plan to have the
city cooperate with the Great North
ern Railway in building the tunnel.
Following are the officials elected
for the coming year; S. c. Wolden-
burg, mayor; John Koerner, treasurer;
S. A. Potter, clerk; E. H. Fox, at
torney; DR.. ]. S. Judah, health officer;
c. E. Hamilton, councilman at large;
J. D. Wheeler and F. S. Jacobsen,
councilmen first ward; ]. w. Miller, M.
G. Jones, councilmen third ward.

they cultivate the corn later on. Pre-
pairing the sod with the land roller
and sitting on disk harrow are all
tasks that of late years have been
done by women, since the country
cousins have seen fit to go to cities
and help city cousins twist cigars in
factories, or work in the iron mills.
They have become "the handy girl
around the barn." instead of the for
mer handy man around the house.
They have been reading agricultural
papers, some have attended agricul
tural schools, and quite few have
not only studied domestic science to
be useful in the farmhouse kitchens;
but they have studied feed rations,
dairy methods and soil fertility, so
that they know better how to feed q
dairy cow correctly than did their
fathers a decade ago. They are also
able to enforce the sanitary methods
in and about the dairy barn, so that
meat and milk inspectors need not
spend extra car fare to inspect their
| farm premises.
Still some OF their work is done as
mother and grandmother used to do
it. Small farmers, who do not wish
to go to the Expense of buying all the
modern machinery, still cut their
grain with the cradle, and the daugh-
| tiers bind the grain. No corn husk-
ing machines have yet been invented
that husk corn like a human hand
| can, so women are seen in corn fields
in great numbers. Those farmers
who still cut their grass fields, and
particularly wet meadows, still use
the forks to spread out the grass to
dry instead of using tedders. and this
work is all done by young girls.
Many farmers still use the horse
| power for operating their threshins
machinery, and here the young WON
en- find numerous tasks they can do
such as acting as driver, whipping
and urging the horses sround and
around the customary circle in the
horse power shed, feeding the sheaves
into the threshing machine. handing
them to the fodder and pushing the
straw from the barn-hoor to the sta
bles below.
In this respect cooperation, how
ever, lessons this kind of work Fol
in many sections it is customary to
have some farmer make the rounds

new slogan, Stay on the farm" with
out radical methods.
In eastern Pennsylvania, the sum
mer season always brings along q
scarcity Of farm help, and here the
Queen Of the Household has during
a number OF years solved the difficult
labor questions. A famous woman
lawyer once said, that woman de-
mands the right to work at whatever
she pleases, and that she also has the
right to compete with the stronger
sex in all branches of work; because
she was the original worker on this
earth. ever since the human race
sprung into existence, and that since
this period she has been able to
make her own living and that of her
offspring"
Not on this theory alone, but on ac-
count of the fact that the wives and
daughters of the sturdy farm
ers in this state, love to do
manual work, at periods when the
kitchen drudgeries allow her to step
into the open air and take part in
work that her husband, and her broth
er is accustomed to do.
With modern farming methods in
troduced by improved machinery,
women can do a great many things
on the farm, which might otherwise
prove p burden. In those sections II
is not only the wife and the farmers
daughter, and daughters of every
