FLOR|DA'S future

What will Florida be by the mid
die of this twentieth century?
Just what the next generation
shall make it, and that generation
will be largely what the fathers and
mothers of today shall make it.
Some of the greatest scientists de-
clare that every man owes it. quite
as much to his parents as TO himself,
whether he is a genius. drunkard,
a criminal, insane, or an ordinarily
| intelligent and useful citizen. Even
his impulses to aggressive effort, or
the lack of them, they say, is Unborn,
so that a person with an inheritance
of good morals, a sound mind and
| body, lacking the Unborn impulse or
| ambition to self Improvement, may
sink by a kind of inertia into posi-
| tive uselessness if not immortality.
| We come into the world, not of
| our own vOlition, handicapped by a
burden Of fearful responsibilities;
some of us with an inheritance Of
evil tendencies, with bodies predis-
posed to disease, with weak and in
active minds often bordering upon
| insanity in some form, and some of
us with an almost irresistible in
stinct to criminal action. 1t is I'M
disputed that a large majority of the
professional criminal classes have
sprung from criminal parentage and
pass on their tendencies to their
children
A large proportion of the insane is
traced to a parentage in which the
father or the mother, or both, were
similarity affected. and it is known
that such tendencies in the parent
are far more often than not exagger-
ated in the children.
The handicap upon the next gener-
alton may be made heavier or light
er by the will of the present one
No man can live unto himself alone.
No parent can live unto his own time
and generation alone. Whether he
be weak or strong. a genius or lun-
attic, his influence through his child
rem will be felt for good or i'll fifty
or hundred years in the future.
The matter of individual RESPONSE
bility to the future is but little ap'

what we find there. Sufficient unto

ever occur to you that they might be
actuated by just as sincere motives of
right according to their own Standard
Are you going TO set your unimpeach-
able judgment up as the only true and
just standard Of measuring the acts OF
others II so there is no room for ar
gument with you-but there, we have
been DEPRESSING again. Side-stepped
until we got quite off the subject.
We started out to tell why, in Our
judgment, every person in Leaven-
worth has good reason to be thankful
to the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. this
Christmas morning for supplying the
whole town with water for domestic
use, and what is still more important,
for fire protection. For three weeks
the city's water system has been out Of
commissions at this writing still out
Of commission, and the probability is
strong that it will remain out of COM
mission until winter breaks next spring.
In the meantime the sole dependence
of the town for every drop OF water it
gets is on the big lumber company,
for which let US all, individually and
collectively, be truly thankful this
morning, not forgetting that even if
corporations are without souls, they
may be very helpful

Staying on the Job Produces Results

AS result OF harping on the dairy
string for the past few weeks Leaven-
worth is practically assured of getting a
creamery between now and spring.
The meeting of ranchers and COW own
ers in the city hall last Saturday was
we'll attended, and feeling was quite
strong, in fact without a dissenting
note, in favor of the establishment Of a
creamery. The merchants and bank
ers Of the Town are working harmo
niously with the ranchers and are will
ing to give substantial help to the
project. Another meeting is to be
held Jan. g, at which final action will
be taken. There is one question, are
there enough COWS tributary to support
creamery. This has been settled in
the affirmative, and from statements
made the number of milk cows will in
crease rapidly once the creamery is a
going institution.
This spirit Of the town and country
working together for common end
the development and prosperity of the
Upper Wenatchee valley-is most
sensible and encouraging. That it
will prove a profitable investment
under the management of an ex-
perienced operator we have not the
least doubt. There is the experience
Of similar undertakings all over the
state to point to, and that it will add
to the prosperity Of the ranchers we
have but to point in the same direc-
ton,

Editor Leavenworth Echo:
Dear Sir:-I see by copy oil your
newsy paper, sent me by Rev. W. "
Davis, that the seven-headed devil is
still roaming the streets Of Leavenworth
and disturbing the peace Of that beau
tiful mountain town. thought l had
him on the run when l was there last
spring, but it seems that he still Turks
in the hearts OF those that you would
least expect. Christian Science teaches
US that there is no devil. II that is so,
pray tell me who was the prime mover
in the Franklin and Gordon cases. l
am so upset by the news from your
town, and so profoundly incensed over
the devilish outrages committed in
Leavenworth, that have no words at
my command to express myself prop
erly as a Christian ought. God help
US, what is this world coming to? II
you, or my friends. have any further
light on the tragedy send it to me,
please. You ask the question Of the
people of Leavenworth, Are you in
terested in a creamery" 1t is a
good thing and if each one will do
what they can you will soon have one.
With kind regards to all the friends in
Leavenworth, and my prayers and sym
pathy for the bereaved families, l re-
main yours truly,

Christmas Day 1914 will linger in
the memory of this generation. Be-
cause this nation is at peace with all
the world, and, having been blessed
with bountiful harvest, we are able to
spare from our stores the food neces-
sary to keep from starving the women
and children Of war devastated Europe.
The promptness and generosity with
which the people Of the United States
responded to the call for help will
surely convince some people that even
if we have not attained the European
level in culture, we are not devoid oil
the spirit OF helpfulness.

Prosperous Outlook for Lumber In
duSty

Lumber is, and will be for years, one
OF the chief productions of Washing
ton. General prosperity in this state
goes up and down with the lumber
industry. For the past few years the
lumber business has been on the to-
bogganslide and the effect was felt all
over the state, but with a revival, and
better prices, we may confidently look
forward to prosperous times. But for
the European war the mills would now
be busy Now that the war scare has
somewhat subsidized and business has
resumed normal conditions we may
confidently look forward to gen
eral revival in this most important in
dustry in the state, with resultant eff
feet on every line Of activity AS
straws indicate the direction in which
the wind is setting so do the lumber
news indicate return OF activity. The
following news items appeared in the
daily press Yesterday:
Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 23.-Tenders
for 20, 000,0 900 feet Of ties for delivery
in England have been asked of north
west mills by ]. F. Neame & Co., of
London, through A. S. Penketh, the
firms local agent. The order will be
placed after January /, Penketh an
nounced today.
He predicted heavy orders from Eng
land as soon as marine freight rates get
on a stable basis, as the Baltic and
German supply is cut off because OF the
war.
Buyers are holding off placing or
ders in expectation Of fall in freight
rates, but indications point to larger
trade in northwest lumber with Eng
land than ever BEFORE" Mr. Penketh
said.
Deer Park, Wash, Dec. 23-Work
in all departments OF the Deer Park
Lumber company's saw and planning
mill will be resumed Monday. The
new IS, 900 dry kiln is about COM
pleted. The firm has been very for
tunate in securing several large and
profitable contracts recently, and has
orders enough in sight for years con-
tinuous run. which eases up the econ
omic situation here greatly.
F. A. Reed awarded logging con-
tract to w. H. Short for cutting and
logging 1000, 900 feet of timber off
Reeds Fan lake timber reserve. Camp
was established Monday at Fan Lake.
Mr.. Short has engaged 40 men and 20
teams. Deer Park laboring men were
engaged exclusively.
In this connection, we may add as
additional proof, yesterday the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co. shipt five cars OF
lumber to Detroit, Mich. The same
company is now shipping more lumber
every month than was shipt during the
summer months. In November they
shipt between thirty-fve and forty cars.

CHAPTER .YI.
After the Fight.
ROM across the yards out of
the various shops came the
convicts tramping into the
main building, into the

wings ana corr1corS through the
steel barred gates. and throughout the
great prison echoed the ring Of clang-
ing doors. the clash Of the massive
bar-locks, the shuffling tread Of lock-
stepped files. the hoarse. gruff. curt
commands Of the guards.
Ever the man Of prompt and de-
cisive action, Warden Rand had
thrown himself into the breach. Too
well he was aware that the news
would spread like wildnre to every
last prisoner II his charge; and upon
Its heels, spreading infection with the
excitement, he feared an outbreak Of
INSTRUMENTATION that. as well as not,
might develop into a general uprising.
Within twenty minutes following
what had been the most desperate at
tempt at wholesale delivery in the
history Of the institution, every man
Of the eight hundred convicts within
the psnitentiary WALL was under lock
and key.
And then In his ONCE. man after
man OF those who. though taking no
part In the fray, had been present In
the carpenter shop was brought be-
