In attendance upon the hearing to-
day were many Macon society women
and so negro girls from a local in
dustrial school, besides business men,
lawyers and politicians.
One witness, former Recorder and
present Postmaster Custis Noting
ham, testified that Judge Speer had
repeatedly declined to make an order
of the Supreme Court the order of
his court, in the case of the City of
Macon VS.. Henry Jemison, who was
an employee of Judge Speer, and in
which the Judge interviewed so as to
release the negro from the chain
gang.
Chairman Webb twice admonished
ex- Congressman Howard, of Judge
Speer's counsel, to avoid collateral is
sues and to make his questions per-
tinent.
On the stand, Mr.. Nottingham de
clared that Judge Speers conduct
was high handed Intervention in a
case beyond his jurisdiction"
Ex- Chief of Police Granville Con-
nor was the second witness. He said
that he was attached for contempt
for rearresting Jemison, following
the Supreme Courts order, and that
he did not know until three years
later, when he was advised by his
attorney, that Judge Speer had dis
missed the rule of contempt.

consisted of five column four page
paper. AS the town began 10 grow,
and the country to develop new bust
ness houses were opened and in 1910
the Echo was enlarged to six column
four page paper, cylinder press took
g3he - OF the hand press, power
was n alled and new and Improved
machinery added. In 1908 the paper
was increased to six pages. In 1909
hand paper cutter was exchanged for
new Brown & Carver automatic pa
per cutter and other labor saving ma
chinery was installed. About this
time fruit growing in the Upper We
natchee Valley took firm hold, the
Peshastin people having demonstrated
that the best apples could be grown in
the upper valley. The Yukon Expo
sition brought lot OF new people to
Washington, the upper valley got her
full share of the influx OF people, and
Leavenworth continued to grow. 1t
has always been the policy of the
owner OF The Echo to keep up with
ythe progress and growth of the town.
In 1912 a substantial two story REIN
forced concrete and brick building was
erected on the corner of Commercial

An Ideal Location for a Town

Leavenworth is located at the
head of the Wenatchee valley where
the Icicle river joins the Wenatchee,
22 miles from the city of Wenal-
chez, 100 miles from Puget Sound,
140 from Seattle by rail, and 200
from Spokane, near the geographic
al center of the state. 1t is a thriv-
ing city of almost 5000 population.
Paved and electric lighted streets,
an exec lent municipal water system
completed two years ago at a cost
of $4,000, with gravity pressure
for fire protection, sufficient for a
town of 1900 for all uses. Abb
solutely pure beyond the possibility
of future contamination. Grade

more than twenty brick business
blocks. The business section does

The people of Leavenworth have
good reason to be proud of their
school During the summer the
school board has done everything
possible to put the school plant in
proper condition to get the maxi
mum per cent of efficiency out OF
the equipment and teaching force
during the year. A great deal of in
quiry and investigation has been
made on the part of the school Of
ficers and superintendent to make
both the grade school and the high
school as up-to-date as possible and
to meet the demands of the local
community. The high school now
has a four year course fully ac-
credited by the state. The special
departments, manual training and
domestic science have an added
equipment and furnish work to the
students from the sixth grade
through the high school. CONNER
cial branches have been added to
the course this year and the enroll
ment in this department is large in
proportion to the number enrolled
in school Supt. Osborn will maze
every effort to advance the school
in all departments of school activi-
ties, and intenGs that the high
school shall be represented in both
athletic and literary lines. Realiz-
ing that an efficient school depends
on the cooperation of all parties
concerned there will be an effort
to make the school a community
center.
The enrolment in both grades
and high school shows a marked in
crease over that of last year. The
number enrolled at the present
time in the high school building is

he has the strongest corps of teach
ers that has ever been engaged. Spe-
cial work will be done along liter

team will he coached by Wilson

themselves in bookkeeping and COM

Building Prospects for 1915

There is reason to believe that con-
siderable building will be done next
year in the business district. Among
those who have buildings under con-
sideration is w. c. Roach. who will
build on his Front street lot where
frame building was recently destroyed
by fire. ]. B. Violette is also figuring
on building on his Front street lot
opposite the depot.
The Leavenworth Mercantile Co., so
we are told, have under consideration
a substantial building fronting on Eighth
street, in the rear of the company's
store. The removal of the post Office
to Eighth street will make this thoro-
fare desirable.

Gone 10 Rest.

SIN the midst of life we are in
death. We were again forcibly
reminded of this fact when the
death angel visited the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Cole and
claimed for his own their eldest
son, Elmer. He was born Aug. +,
18th, 1892, died Feb, 16. 1914,
at the age Of 81 years 5 months
and 81 days. He professed his
faith in Christ at an early age
and united with the Baptist
church, of which he was a con-
sistent member until the time of
his death. Elmer left his loved
ones and went to Texas about
eighteen months ago. He re-
NAMED there for some time, then
went to Oklahoma, where he was
taken i'll, He came home on
Feb, 4th, and was never able to
leave his room again. He often
told those with him that he was
ready and willing to die. To
know him was to love him, for
he always kept the golden rule
"Do unto others as you would
have them do unto YOU" While
it is hard to part with those so
dear, we would say weep not for
him, for he is now safe in that
beautiful home, that Jesus went
to prepare for his children, where
sorrow can never come, and
there he is waiting to again
