Getting After the Carpers

Editor Echo:--
In spite of all the opposition against
the meeting going on in the Congrega-
tional church, we had three good audi
ences last Sunday, and IA stood for
prayers in the mems meeting in the
afternoon. The church was packed in
the evening; several auto and carriage
loads coming up from Peshastin and
down the river. My giving the people
here the plain truth, caused many to
hunt shelter under the canopy Of the
evil one, and they are staying away
sulking off bad case of mind trouble.
They remind me OF the girl that had
disobeyed her mother, and so her moth
er shut her up in a dark closet. After
a while the mother went and opened
the door and told her to come out that
she had been punished enough; but
the girl said, Go away, I am busy"
What are you busy about" asked the
mother. Go away" said the girl, Il
am busy" have spit on your new
shoes, and I have spit on your new
dress, and now I am waiting for more
spit, to spit on your new hat" That
is just what those Devil lead, dog in
the manger SAINTS are doing here.
They have spit on God Almighty, and
Jesus Christ and His teachings. and
now they are waiting for more spit, to
spit on the Evangelist for telling them
the truth. But they are hurting no one
but themselves; God can do without
them. So can I. Friday night of this
week l will preach on The Second
Coming Of our Lord" from a Scriptural
standpoint. Sunday, II A. M, "A
Stand for Cod" 8 P. M, Baptism"

j. |. CLOSE PROMOTED
TO HIGHER POSITION
Well Known Railroad Man of This City
Has Rapid RiSe-Started in as a
Call Boy

AS a reward for faithful service, and
his recognized ability in railroad work, ].
L. Close this week received word from
the head Offices Of the Great Northern
Ry., Co., in St. Paul to report in that
city at once as he had been selected
as one OF the members of the railway

Of three members whose duty it will be
to travel over the entire Great North
ern system, stopping at division points,
to give instructions and examinations
to trainmen, enginemen and dispatch

practically $500 miles of track which
they will have to travel over and they
will be on the road for at least six
months out of the year. During that
time the board will be provided with
two private cars, secretarys, cooks, and
all the luxuries that go with this mode
OF travel.
Mr.. Close or lack" as his more ia
miliar friends refer to him, began his
railroad career at Monet, Mo-, as a
callboy in the year Of 1891. He found
the work pleasing and fascinating and
later entered the train service. Since
that time he has railroaded all over the
United States, coming to this city four
years ago. That his rise was rapid
after coming here is shown by the
following. He first worked as brake
man. was later made conductor, then
yardmaster and then followed the po-
sition Of Signal Test Inspector which
he held until his last promotion. Mr.,
Close while yet only "a years of age is
regarded as one OF the best railroad
men on the western division. He has
a wide knowledge in the handling Of
railroad business, is energetic and will
continue to rise to higher positions.
Mr.. Close was elected to the council
in this city by a large vote and during
the time he was in Office made very

WORK IS PROGRESSING
ON NEW BALL PARK
Fence and Grand Stand Nearing Com
pIetiOn-Will be an Ideal Ball
Ground

Under the direction OF Contractor
VIM. Smith, the new grandstand and
bleachers and the fence enclosing the
grounds are rapidly nearing compile
tion. While there is no game sched-
uled in this city before a week from
Sunday, Mr.. Smith assured an Echo
reporter yesterday that the work would
be finished by the middle of next
week. Last Sunday between thirty
and forty baseball fans went out to the
grounds and put in the day digging
post holes and in other ways helped
the contractor with his work, which re-
suited in quite saving to the man.
agement. To show their appreciation
the heads of the Baseball Association,
served coffee and sandwiches to the
volunteers. To this was added wein-
ers and pickles contributed by Chas.
Eckhardt and Harry Warner OF the
Leavenworth Meat Market. Alto
gether the day was spent very plea
sanity by the workers and everything
passed off harmoniously. The grounds
are in very good shape and will require
but very little work to put them in
first class condition.
Sunday a special train will be run to
Wenatchee which will give everyone
an opportunity to witness the first
game Of the season. The manage
ment has guaranteed the railroad COM
pany 500 and it is hoped that large
crowd will be on hand to accompany
the team.
Jack Mahoney the field captain is a
very busy man these days getting ev-
erything ready for the opening game,
and while he is making no predictions,
Jack is sure to be sadly disappointed
il his team doesn't come out with the
long end of the score Sunday. AT any
rate there will be no favoritism shown
this season, we know that because Ma
honey says so. Either play the game
or go to the bench. Jack intends to
hold down the initial sack this year,
and while the position is new to him,
as in the past he has been stationed
in the center garden, we'll lay bet
that the Silent Irishman" makes
good. Manager Adams used wise
judgement in his selection of cap
tain, and now Jack it's up TO you.
