Ways to Help the Unemployed

Farmers and orchardists can assist in
the solution of the unemployment
problem that confronts the state this
winter and at the same time help their
own interests if they will provide work
for some Of the men who are now out
Of employment and gathered in Seattle
On nearly every farm there is work to
be done during the winter for which
the rancher cannot afford to pay much
wages. There are hundreds Of men
now stranded in Seattle, such as woods
men and harvest hands, who are anx-
ious to go out on the land and work
for very small wage and their board.
Any farmer who desires to employ one
or more OF these men should write to
w. K. McKibben, League building,
Seattle. Mr.. McKibben is secretary
Of the organization dealing with the un-
employment problem.

dent; o. P. Moore, secretary-treasurer;

PENDANTS in the action.
An order was issued by Judge w. A.

appear and show why a receiver should
not be appointed; why the present
officers should not be restrained from
selling treasury stock and why new Of
fcers should not be selected.

Loses Car of Apples

One Of the most extraordinary acci-
dents that ever occurred on a railroad,
happened Nov. % when extra zoos,
Engineer HUFFMAN and Conductor
Lees lost car OF apples two miles east
OF Benton. The car which was next to
the caboose jumped the track, rolled
down rs foot embankment and landed
right side up in the river with the
water not up to the car floor.
Nevertheless in its descent the roof
was lost and 1913 boxes Of apples were
scattered and floated down the river.
II was a common sight 10 see :he
homesteaders out fishing for apples and
it is said one fellow below Coram drove
his team out and gathered apples in
with fish net. Fortunately and al
most miraculously it would seem only
the front trucks Of the caboose left the
tracks. Pilot, Whitefsh, Mont.

UNION CHRISTMAS TREE
NEXT THURSDAY EVENING
In Which All the Churches Will Be Aided
by the General Public

The Kumtux Club members claim to
have first suggested the idea but Geo.
L. Gardner, general manager of the
Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. brought the
matter of having a municipal, or union
Christmas tree, to head by calling a
meeting of the ministers and business
men at the Tumwater bank at O. clock
yesterday evening. Although the min
listers had already made arrangements
to have trees at the churches they very
cheerfully gave up their plans and fell
in line with the municipal idea. MI.
Gardner will have charge Of the COM
mittee to raise the money necessary to
meet the expense, and School Superin-
tendent Osborn, assisted by Rev. Huff
OF the Methodist church, and Rev.
Carne of the Congregational church will
work out the details and see that not a
single child in Leavenworth is forgotten
when Santa Clause radiates cheer and
makes glad the hearts Of children by
distributing presents on Christmas eve,
Dec. "a. Whether the Fremen's hall
or the Scenic Theatre will be used to
set up the big Christmas tree, or two,
if necessary, has not been decided.
This will depend upon which can be
had for the occasion. Municipal Christ
mas trees will be provided for the chill
dren of Cashmere and WatervilIe, but
in both places they will be set up out
doors, in parks preferably, if it is con-
venient. and the tree lighted up with
electricity, but our people believe on
account of the extremely cold weather,
it will be safer, and less likely to cause
suffering and sickness, to have the tree
indoors. The distribution of presents
will follow suitable song service, for
which some preparation has already
been made.

QUINCY is STILL FIGHTING
FOR BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
Lake WenatChee Lands Will Be Held For
Reservoir Site-Mdy Hold Another
Election Next Year

A. ]. Ternent, secretary and mana
ger of the Quincy Valley Water Users
Association, is in receipt of commu-
nication from Senator Poindexter, en-
closing a letter from Clay Tollman,
commissioner of the general land Of
fee, extending the time on the reser-
voir site for the Quincy Valley Irriga-
ton project to March 1st to enable the
association to further their plans.
Bordering on Lake Wenatchee are Ger
tain lands, which, with the installation
if dam proposed by the Quincy pro-
ject, will be submerged, and it is
these lands that have been withdrawn
from entry until March 1st. The mat
ter is OF vital importance to the Quincy
project in that should these lands be
thrown open to entry private interests
would step in resulting in a serious
blow to the Quincy Valley, as in the
event the dam was constructed con-
demnation proceedings would have to
be instituted at considerable expense.
The extension Of time means much to
the cause, as i; will enable the district
to hold the reservoir site intact until
more definite plans can be made.

u Want RESULTS Advertise The Ee Paper That Everyone Says Biggest
Buy Red Cross Seals

Supplementing their initial order Of
million Red Cross seals with one last
week for a hundred thousand more,
the Washington Association for the
Prevention and Relief of tuberculosis
considers the campaign Of 1914 well
launched. The prizes offered by the
association and the national organiza-
ton as previously announced are Great
ing keen rivalry in the schools Of the
state. Mount Vernon, winner last
year OF the first prize of the three num-
Der lecture course, is again in the field,
but several towns have announced their
intention of winning this year, and the
contest promises to become even more
spirited during the coming week. The
smaller schools of the state have the
power to make the sale a pronounced
success by disposing of the seals al
lotted TO them. Many teachers have
already made their returns, and all
should do so before school closes for
the holidays.
Washington now holds third place
among states selling seals west Of the
Mississippi. with California and Mime

and put our state in first place Talk

that others do the same. Everybody
can help in this cause for humanity.

G. n. RY. CRACK TRAIN
MAKES VERY FAST TIME
No. | Running Between Tacoma and
Chicago Late Wednesday for the
first Time in $50 Days

For the first time in $50 days No. /,
also known as the Oriental Limited,
the Great Northern Railway Co.'S fast
train, was late Wednesday afternoon,
arriving in this city about o'clock,
being two hours behind its schedule.
This is a record believed by L. W..
Woodrow, terminal agent for the com
pany in this city, to never have been
surpassed in the history OF railroading.
No. l runs from Chicago to Tacoma
a distance of 2,277 miles and in max
ing the trip between the two cities 10
engines are used on each trip. During
this time there has been no accident
to this train and not the least bit Of
engine trouble.
Thruout most OF the distance be-
tween the two cities the Great North
ern uses engines Of the 1900 class
which are of the latest type and most
powerful used. Very little time is
lost in changing engines and No. is
seldom held in this city over 10 min
utes.
After figuring it up I fnd,' says
Mr.. Woodrow, that the total distance
made by the train is 341,550 miles.
During these $50 days 1900 engines
were handled. II any railroad in the
United States ever made a better record
than this il is not known.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
IN REGULAR SESSION
Pays Many Bills and TranSaCtS Other
BuSineSS-Many Petitions for
Street Lights

Tuesday nights council meeting
found three petitions on file asking for
the establishment Of street lights. Two
petitions came from citizens residing
on Railroad avenue asking for lights on
the corner OF Sherburn and Cedar
streets and one asking for light on
Orchard avenue. The first two petit
tons were granted, but the light asked
for on Orchard avenue was refused on
the grounds that there was already a
light in that vicinity.
Engineer Barnum reported that he
had talked with the Jap who rents the
barn of Adams and Costello in regard
to the tapping of the city's water main
which was made without the knowledge
OF the water department and that the
Jap had told him that it was Mr.. Bur
gett of the Tumwater Light & Water
Co., that had made the connection.
1t was moved and seconded that Mr..
Burgett be notified to be present at the
next meeting of the council and ex-
plain why he took such action, without
making it known to the city officials.
Councilman Miller introduced a
resolution to the effect that the city
attorney be compelled to put up bond
of $3.50. The resolution carried.
Attorney L. ]. Nelson, representing
Mrs. Irene Gordon, widow Of the late
Chas. L. Gordon, asked for transfer
of the saloon license of the Leaven-
worth Bar to VIM. Herder. The re-
quest was granted.
The condition Of the city's water
pipe line was the subject of considerable
discussion. Engineer Barnum presented
a section Of the pipe line which he had
sawed from one of the supply pipes
that with the exception of hole about
the size OF quarter, was frozen solid.
He stated that this occurred about a
week ago when the water was shut OH
on account OF break in the pipe line.
Much Of the pipe line being exposed
10 the air aud there being number Of
low places the water settled there and
froze. Mr.. Barnum estimated that
there was close to 500 feet of pipe
in that condition. 1t was finally de-
cided that the engineer take up the
old pipe and put new in its place.
The work of making the change began
this week.

VETS HAVE NEW LAW
FOR SALE OF LIQUOR
Only Hotels With so Rooms Would Be
Allowed to Sell Liquor Under
Proposed Law

Ferdinand Schmitz on Monday filed
with the secretary Of state copy Of q
proposed liquor regulation law which he
will attempt to initiate at the next ses-
sion Of the legislature and have sub
mitted to the people at special cleo
ton to be held in November, 1915.
The proposed law if adopted by the
people would go into effect January /,
1916, at the same time as the prohi-
bition law recently adopted becomes
effective. The proposed measure
states that it is not an amendment to
the recently enacted prohibition law,
but is to be paramount to that and all
other laws that might conflict Herewith.
This would mean, it is "unoficially'
stated, that not only the prohibition but
the local option statute as we'll would
be absolutely nulli6ed.
The Schmitz measure would permit
the operation of breweries and the
sale Of their products; would allow
hotels with more than so rooms, in in
corporated cities, to sell spirituous,
fermented and malt liquors to then
guests and to serve the same in theiI
dining rooms, restaurants and cafes and
would authorize each citizen, for home
consumption, to buy not less than II
quarts nor more than 48 quarts Of al
coholic beverages. The breweries are
to be located in incorporated cities.
The annual license fee, under control
of CITY authorities, would be $500 for
breweries, $1,000 for hotels and $500
for selling agents and sales departments
Of breweries.
The hackers of the bill must get
$4,000 signers to petitions between
now and Jan. D, as petitions must be
ready 10 days before the Legislature
opens on Jan. IL

MANAGER OF RESCUE HOME
VISITED CITY LAST WEEK
Appoints Committee in this City to Look
After Maynard Gihs-SOCiety
Does Good Work

Mrs. Helen Waxham, State man
ager of the Pacific Coast Rescue and
Protective Society, whose headquarters
are in Seattle was a visitor in this city
last week.
While here she appointed an advisory
committee consisting of L. J. Nelson,
R. B. Field and Mrs. D. C. Town,
whose duty will be to report cases OF
wayward and missing girls and help in
the work against vice.
To an Echo reporter Mrs. Waxham
said: The society's work consists OF
rescueing wayward girls, providing
homes for abandoned children and
mothers, making conditions better for
the working girls and prosecuting cases
against the white slavers.
In Seattle overlooking Lake Wash
ington is located what is known as the
Washington Rescue home where un-
fortunate women and girls are cared
for. The organization which is sup
ported by voluntary contributions has
the endorsement of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce and other charity So
cieties.
The following will give the reader
some idea Of this society's operations,
by which it is trying to cope success
fully with the helplessness and need Of
sins unfortunate victims, and to make
it harder for those who choose to do
eviP' to ply their frightful business.
The various branches of the work are
so arranged that the society is able to
give immediate aid TO all classes and
sexes, from the babe new born, to
those of ripper years who are crushed
and broken by bitter experience. Dur
ing the last five years the Rescue De-
partment has dealt with SAT cases,
over 200 Of these in the State of
Washington, and out Of the 200 cases,
Do procurers were prosecuted, the Of
tenders being punished. Thousands
OF miles are covered annually by the
general perintendent, Rev. w. G.
McLaren, and his operatives in the
conduct of this great undertaking.
About $500 personal letters, dealing
with the social, commercial, domestic,
or religious problems Of those in need
of counsel or assistance, passed thru
the head Office in one year. In 1918,
twenty-four OF the rescue cases were
girls under l8 years Of age. Two Of
these were only IA years old. Each
case is carefully and thoroughly inves-
tigated, with a view to stamping out
any tendency TO further wrongdoing.
On the staff OF assistants there are three
attorneys and five physicians whose
services can be relied upon. Besides
these there are more than a score of
consecrated men and women who de-
vote their entire time in various ca
pacities, whose days know no time
limit. and who believe in ministering
for Jesus sake, taking for their creed
the Golden Rule"
