Unsatisfactory Returns on Apples

Wenatchee last fall. His net re-
turns arrived this week and amounted
to So5.49 for 14l boxes of apples
most Of which graded extra fancy, with
a small number of c grade. To say
he is dissatisfied does not describe his
state Of mind. Nearly all the apples
shipped from here last fall, some
thirty cars, netted the growers S1.00

what kind Of selling agency is the
Columbia. He favors some kind Of
local organization.

TROUBLE STILL BREWING
IN NFIGHBORING CITY
Wenatchee COunciImen Fight Recall Flee
ton Set for May 5th-PoIiCe
Raid Olympia Hotel

Councilmen Wilson, Zener and Py-
bus, OF Wenatehee, have filed applica-
tion for an injunction to restrain the
city clerk. Of that city, from setting a
date for the councilmanic recall cleo
ton. Their grounds are that INSULT
cient allegations have been set up to
constitute malfeasance. II no iniunc,
ton is granted, City Clerk Smith says
the recall election will be set for May 5.
A raid on the Olympia hotel in We
natchee was made shortly after a. m.
Monday. Chief Bartlett and two Off
GERS had a search warrant and told Pro-
prietor Niccum if he yielded evidence
they knew was in his possession, there
would be no trouble. Chief Bartlett
said Niccum tried to deceive him, so
every room was entered and guests
were interrupted in their slumbers. A
barrel OF beer and some whiskey were
found. A man and women, who, the
police say, are unmarried, were arrest
ed. Niccum gave $50 cash bail.
The man was released on small bail,
but the woman is held in the county
Jail. The woman was released Tues
day for lack OF evidence. The case
against the hotel proprietor will be
nushed.

WILL WE CELEBRATE
THE FOURTH OF JULY
The Question is Now up to Local Citizens
for Their DeCiSion-COuld be
Made Big Event.

Shall Leavenworth have Fourth Of
July celebration is the question now be-
ing asked of the merchants OF this city
by the secretary Of the Leavenworth
Business Mems association. At ameet-
ing OF the business men called for last
night, the report of which we were un-
able to get owing to the lateness Of the
hour, il was understood that the matter
would be taken up and given consider
tion.
1t has been several years since cele-
bration was held here and it appears to
be the sentiment of most OF the busi-
ness men of the city that we can get an
early start and have a rip-roaring cele-
bration here this year. Almost every
business house would help in the rails
ing of money to be given away in prizes,
and while there should be at least six
or seven hundred dollar raised to have a
successful celebration, we believe that
it would be sure to rebound to the city
credit. Visitors from all over the coun-
ty and central Washington would come
here if the big show was properly ad-
vertised.

| MRS. MCKEE ADDRESSES
KUMTUX CLUB WOMEN
President of the State Federated Clubs
Speaks, and is Guest of Honor
at a Luncheon

The members OF the Kumtux Club
met at the home OF Mrs. Geo. L.
Gardner last Monday morning at ten
o'clock to listen to an address by Mrs.
J. S. Mckee, president of the State
Federated clubs. Mrs. Mckee spoke
for over an hour to an attentive audi
ence. She told how the Sorosis club,
of New York, was formed. 1t claims
the honor OF being the first woman S
club in the United States, although
Mrs. Mckee says that the State Of
Washington had the first woman's club,
which was organized in 1888 by Mrs.
Whitman. She said: Washington
has now seven thousand club women
and there are over a million in the
United States. 1t is hard for the av-
erage person to appreciate the numer-
ical strength Of the woman's club
movement, the scope Of its activities
and the wide sphere of its influence.
Women's clubs are a non-sectarian and
non-political organization, devoted to
the work of human uplift." She told
how club women were working for
civic improvement, sanitation and the
splendid work they did in the pure
food campaign. She urged the women
to work for the library extension law,
to study political science, and prepare
themselves for citizenship.
The address was very much enjoyed,
was beneficial, and will be source Of
future inspiration. After the address
the women were taken in autos to the
home of Mrs. ]. T. Mcdonald, where
a luncheon was given in honor of Mrs.
Mckee. The luncheon appointments
were in yellow, masses of golden daffodils
being used for the centerpiece. The
color scheme was carried out in the
yellow chrysanthemum nut cups and
the hand-painted place cards. After
the luncheon music was furnished by
Mrs. Royal McKeown, Miss Mildred
Adams and Miss lone Zeitz. Mrs.
McKeown sang the appropriate state
federation song, THE Four Leaf Clo-
ver."
The club members present at the
luncheon were: Mrs. J. S. Mckee,
Mrs. A. H. Sylvester, Mrs. L. o.
Taylor, Mrs. ]. B. Adams, Mrs. w. A.
Tegtmeier, Mrs. Geo. L. Gardner,

BASEBALL PROSPECTS
AND HOW THEY LOOK
Players Should Not be Judged by Last
Sundays Game. Cashmere Comes
Here Sunday

Before a big crowd of spectators the
Leavenworth ball team went down to
defeat to the tune of IS to 0 in We
natchee last Sunday. 1t was some
game, everyone says so, that is among
those who went from here on the "spe
ciap' to witness the first battle. While
it was not expected that the locals
would annex the first game, as they
had had no practice, and many of the
boys had not so much as even had a
ball in their hands this spring, it was
staggering news when the final score
came over the telephone about five
o'clock that evening. Everyone was
wondering how it happened. At the
present writing we doubt if you could
find six year old school boy but who
could tell you all about the game.
And they were not present either.
Funny isn't it?
Some there are, whom we have
overheard the past week, make the
prediction that the local club will not
win a game from the Wenatcheeites
this summer with the team, or lineup
they had last Sunday. The writer
does not take these representations
very seriously however, believing that
once the boys get out and get little
real practice, they will come back to
the form they showed a couple of
seasons gone by. There is at least
five or six men on the team whose
ball playing ability was not subjected
to such severe criticism in 1912 and
we cannot see any reason at this time
for such big howl going up, as has
been the case. 1t is true that the
team will have to be strengthened in
few places and leave it to Captain
Mahoney. 1t will be. The Echo has
not lost faith in Mahoney as captain
and believes that before the summer is
over he will give Leavenworth fans a
winning team. We don't believe that
he is a gutter, we think he will exer-
else his better judgment in the han
ding Of the team and we hope that he
will stick to his job regardless Of fault
finders.
w. E. Moore, formerly of this city
and an ex-msnager of the ball team
here, is the guiding genius OF the We
natchee aggregation this year and in
tends to go the limit in giving the
baseball enthusiasts of his town a win
ming team. However I'VE Should
Worry"
Word was received this week that
Chelan had been dropped from the
league, which leaves Leavenworth,
Waterville, Cashmere and Wenatchee
in the organization. Last Sundays
game did not count in the schedule
and on the coming Sunday the Cash
mere bunch will be here for the open
ing league game. Reports from the
neighboring town are that the Cash
mere boys have been practicing hard
the past two weeks and will put up a
hard fight. This will will be the first
game on the new grounds and a big
crowd is looked for. Following is the
score of last Sundays fasco

PUBLIC SERVICE COM.
TO INVESTIGATE RATES
Yakima Valley Applies for Hearing
Rates Too High-WilI Begin
in May

The Echo has called the attention to
some half dozen places where lighting
rates have been reduced in the past
few months A hearing is now under
way in Spokane to determine the just
ness of the rates, which are ten cents
to householders for lighting purposes
and from one to three cents per kilowat
for power users and large consumers
for lighting purposes. Some thirty
owns and villages in the Yakima valley
are supplied by the Pacific Powder &
Light Co., with rates varying from ten
TO fifteen cents. For some months
North Yakima, which is on ten cent
rate, has been agitating for lower rates
and has induced some of the other
towns in the valley to join her in an eff
fort to have rates lowered. The follow
ing item of news was taken from one
OF the Yakima papers and because The
Echo is engaged in the same endeavor,
is our excuse for printing the story.
Letters have been sent asking other
towns in the Yakima valley to unite in
retaining an attorney to represent them
all in the hearing in this city early in
May by the state public service COM
mission on the physical valuation OF the
Pacific Power & Light company.
Twenty two cities in the Yakima,
Columbia and Touchet valleys use cleo
tricity furnished by this company and
will be effected by the valuation that
will be fixed and the resultant determin-
ing of equitable charges for light and
power which will be ordered, but Walla
Walla, Waitsburg and two or three
other cities have so far failed to join
the movement.
The rates for electricity for residence
lighting for quantities less than 80 kilo-
wat hours per month for the more i'm
portant towns follow:
Walla Walla and North Yakima, 10
cents per kilowatt hour; Dayton, Waits
burg, Kennewick, Pasco, White Salmon,
II cents per Kilowatt hour; Toppenish,
1917 cents per kilowatt hour; Rchland
and White Bluffs, IS cents, and Nab
ton and Wapato, IS cents.
At the May hearing evidence and
arguments will be produced on both
sides as to the value Of the plant of
the company. AS basis for it, Engi-
neer Burroughs, of the public service
commission, recently completed an es-
innate, in which he found the money
the company paid out for its plants was
IS, ,563,459; that the company holds
them at a book value of 1890, ,45o;
that the total actual investment was
4,314,333; that the cost Of reproduc-
ton new would be $4,252,155 and
the present deprecated value is S.
619,628.
Following this hearing series OF
small ones will be held, each one de-
voted to each town. to determine what
part OF the whole plant can be charged
against that town and what its rate for
electricity should be.
When the hearing was ordered year
ago, it was proposed to retain Harry E.
Wilson, former member of the public
service commission, as general counsel
for the cities.

SOWING SEEDS TOO THIcKLY
Practice Should Be Discouraged az
overerowdIns undermines Guilt
!. walton Of Plants.
By W. r. GILBERT,

CBy W. r. GILBERT.)
Thick sowing must be guarded
against. Each seed should have room
to grow without crushing or injurine
its neighbor.
Over-crowding undermines the cult
vation of plants at the start and it is
long before. II ever. they outgrow 1t.
OF course, small plants or seeds may
be sown more thickly than the larger
ones, but relatively they ought really
not to be sown thicker.
Each plant should have sufficient
room to develop its coyledons and one
leaf before it is thinned or prickef
out.
Every year vegetable crops are much
injured by being sown too thickly and
perhaps it is hardly too much to affirm
that most gardeners would be the
gamers were only half the seed sown
that there is now.
AS to what to SOW the. seed In, the
lighter the seed bed the better.
Few seeds will vegetate in lower
temperature than 40 degrees and in
the range of 20 degrees all seeds will
grow.
