ENGINEMEN KNOWN HERE
ARRESTED FOR SMUGGLING
U. S. Grand Jury Indiots Engineer and
Firemen of 6. N. on Charge of
Smuggling Aliens

Secret indictments have been re-
turned against George Nelson and
Peter McGregor, engine crew Of the
Great Northern, for smuggling two
Cinnamon in the tool box of their en-
CINE, says the Seattle Sun Monday.
Both men were arranged before Federal
Judge Neterer in Seattle Monday.
Nelson, the fireman. was in custody
when the indictment was brought in by
the federal jury last week, but as Nc
Gregor had not been arrested, the bill
was secret. McGregor was apprehend-
ed Saturday night. Both men will
produce bail.
On three accounts the men are
charged with smuggling aliens and aid
ing and abetting each other in the
violation Of the immigration statute.
1t is charged by the government
that May IS the federal inspector
at Blaine, on his regular rounds, be-
came suspicious when he found the
engine tool box padlocked. He de-
manded that it be opened, and it is
said Nelson complied, crying out as he
unlocked the big box, Come out OF
there" where upon two unhappy
Cinnamon crawled forth. They were
Hong Git and Wong Bow and are held
at the detention station as prosecuting
witnesses.
The government AYERS McGregor
was presiding at the engine on three
previous occasions when aliens were
found smuggled in the tool box and
the constant recurrence of such affairs
on his engine were more than sus-
picious.
The two Cinnamon are said to have
paid the engine crew substantial sums
to be smuggled into this country from
the Canadian border.
Both McGregor and Nelson formerly
worked out OF this city and are we'll
known here. Their ofense is said to
be a serious one.

ELLENSBURG BUSINESS MEN
VISITED HERE YESTERDAY
We're Surprised at the Development of
the Upper WenatChee valIey-Trip
Was Made in Autos

The Echo was favored by call late
yesterday evening from five Ellensburg
business men who motored up from
Wenatchee to view the orchards that
have made the Wenatchee Valley ia
nous. The visitors were very much
impressed with Leavenworth and re-
marked that it was truly progressive
little city. Several in the party who
had been here in the earlier days, said
the change was wonderful.
The party only remained here few
hours as they were planning to return
to their homes today. Speaking with
Mr.. Kaynor, editor of the Ellensburg
Daily Record, we learn that the real
object OF the trip was to take up with
representatives Of the Wenatchee Com
mercial club the railroad rate case ques-
ton. Wenatchee recently secured
reduction and the Ellensburg people
are hoping that they may be able to do
likewise. The trip to Wenatchee
from Ellensburg was made in autos
and the members report very en-
joyable journey. Those in the party
were, J. c. Kayner, editor Ellensburg
Record; E. L. Butler, superintendent
light department; F. M. Carter, super
in:endent water department; A. F.
Schultz and John Burch, councilmen.
Ex-Sheriff ]. E. Ferguson, OF We
natchee, king OF story tellers, accom-
panied the Ellensburg men to this city
and while here sprung a few OF his best
ones.

After lingering illness Of several
weeks, Mrs. R. J. Smith last Saturday
evening at $3.50 passed into the great
beyond. For the past three weeks she
has been suffering from a nervous
break down along with heart trouble
which was the cause Of death. Dur
ing the last week she suffered untold
agonies and i: was during that time
that her family realizes that death was

loyal to her friends and neighbors and
all that Christian woman should be.

rage was Miss Ida May Jenness, was
married to Robert ]. Smith at Marshall

to this city where they have since re-
sided. Six children were born to this
union, two girls and four boys. Ten
years ago their youngest son, Kenneth,

Panama Canal Route Has Shortened Trade
Travel Routes Many Thousands Of Miles

WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-(spe-
cial) THE National Geographic So
ciety at Washington, ID. c., issued the
following statement on the probable
effect OF the Panama Canal on the
commercial geogrophy of the world,
today:
1T seems that the Panama Canal
will carry most Of the freight passing
between the eastern coast OF the
United states and the western coast Of
Latin America and that the shorter
distance and lower rates which is
offers will greatly increase that trade;
that the trade between the eastern
and western sections of the United
States will be greatly increased and
transported at much lower charge
per ton; that It will sufficiently
shorten the distance to Japan, north
ern China, Australia and New Zea-
land to Increase steamship service and
materially Increase the traffic with
those countries, and that the Euro
pean countries will use the canal in
most Of their traffic with western
America and in exceptional cases
with modern Asia, Australia and New
Zealand.
The canal has shortened travel
routes between New York and Yoko-
hama by 1850 miles. between New
York and Shanghai about 1000 miles;
between New York and Australia
about 1000 miles, and between New
York and western South America, by
from $500 to 1000 miles. II also
reduces the distance from Europe to
western South America by more than
5000 miles International commerce
doubled in thirty years following the
opening OF the Suez Canal, and busl-
ness and personal inter relationship
between the Occldent and orient was
increased In like proportion. VIII
