FAST Time IS MADE
FROM HERE TO SEATTLE
Cashmere Men Made Trip in Auto B,
Way of SnOquaImie Pass in 13
Hours and 30 Minutes

Probably the record time for an auto
trip from the Wenatchee valley to Sc
attle was made last week by A. L.
Paine, brother of Theo. Paine OF this
city, and Rex Stewart of Cashmere.
The young men left Cashmere last
Thursday morning a week ago in a
stripped E M. F. car, going by way
of the Blewett road and thru the Sno-
qualmie pass and in a letter to his
brother in this city MI. Paine says
their exact running time was just IS
hours and thirty minutes. The roads
he states were in an awful shape and
in several places they were in mud up
to the radiator. They managed to get
thru, however, without any serious
mishaps and say it was great trip.
At Lake Keechelus where it was neces-
sary to take a ferry, Mr.. Paine says,
they were forced to wait for seven hours
for the ferryman. The Cashmere men
will remain on the Coast for week or
two and will return to this valley along
the route OF the Great Northern, motor
ing as far as Gold Bar and shipping
their car to this city.

Il. ". OTIS SELLS
TEN ACRE ORCHARD

Probably one of the largest real es-
tate deals made in the Wenatchee val
ley inside the past two years was con-
sumated this week between H. W..
Otis, OF Peshastin and ]. c. Garretson,
of Seattle, when Mr.. Otis disposed of
his ten acre orchard tract adjoining the
we'll developed tract owned by Frank
A. Wingate.
The tract is young orchard about
five years old, which is without doubt
one OF the finest looking orchards in
the valley and was sold for a consid-
Grafton Of $4,000 or 81, 900 an acre.
The deal was for cash.
The new owner of the property has
been life long friend of Mr.. Wingate
and was in this section about two weeks
ago looking for a suitable place to make
his home. On account OF the high
state OF development of the tract and
because it adjoins the Wingate orchard
are the reasons given for the selection.
Mr.. Garretson will Immediately COM
mence the erection OF modern dwell
ling and other buildings and will in the
uture make Peshastin his home.

BIG ATTRACTIONS COMING
TO THE SCENIC THEATRE

On the last page of the Echo there
appears full page ad of the Scenic
Theatre calling attention to the big
motion picture plays that are billed
for this popular PLAYHOUSE. Mr.. Simp-
son manager of the Scenic has added
to his program the Famous Players
who are perhaps the best known theat-
rical stars in the Movie world to-day,
and the attractions that will be seen
at this theater in the next few weeks
are positively the finest productions in
moving pictures. A few years ago it
was impossible to see first class mo-
ton pictures outside the larger cities
and even to-day it is very seldom
that one sees the best class of movies
in town the size of Leavenworth.
But Mr.. Simpson wants the best, he
says the people OF Leavenworth ap-
preciate good pictures and he has re-
Gently contracted with the film house
for three big features week which
will be shown on "Wednesday, Satur-
day and Sunday. Starting on Sept.
7th the theater will be open every
night at S and 10 cent prices with the
exception OF the feature nights.
On this night the contest to deter
mine the most popular girl in Leaven-
worth will begin. The winner will re-
ceive 500 diamond ring. "a"

Facts Worth Mentioning

Seems like every time there is fire
in Leavenwortb someone gets hurt.
When the Hub Clothing store was
visited by fire few months back Mr..
Wolff, a tailor, barely escaped being
killed when he was run over by the
hook and ladder on the way to the fire,
and was laid up for two week afterward.
Yesterday morning Marshal Sampson
while moving wagon out of reach OF
the fire received a deep cut on his
nose and his right eye was painfully
injured. How it happened Mr.. Samp-
son doesn't know.
About IL o'clock the tapping Of
the fire bell started again This time
the alarm was caused by small brush
fire in the vicinity OF the big fire. A
small breeze had sprung up which en-
dangered several residences in that
locality and it was found necessary to
call for help before it could be put
out.

Joe Johnson was here one day this
week and authorized The Echo to
announce his candidacy for reelection
to the office of county assessor on the
republican ticket. In the spring some
opposition developed to his candidacy
on the ground that he was not at
tending to the duties OF his Office be-
cause he did not stay in the office.
He contends that it was more impor-
tant that he put in his time with field
duties. County Commissioner Hickey
who was chairman of the equalization
signed a statement to the effect
that his work as assessor was entirely
satisfactory to the board and to the
taxpayers If one can judge by the few
Complaints made, and winds up the
statement with the following language:
The board is of the opinion that if
the citizens of the county who create
the high levies by their demands on
the different taxing bodies of the local
government County, school district
and city, for the expenditure of pub
lie funds, will give as careful considera-
ton to such demands as County As
SCISSOR Johnson has given to the equi-
table distribution OF the same that there
will be far less complaint on the part
Of the individual taxpayer OF this coun-
ty when he pays his 1914 taxes in the
spring Of 1915"

EARLY MORNING BLAZE
DOES MUCH DAMAGE
Property Loss Estimated at More Than
$3,00O-0ne Man Believed to
Have Been Lost

At 2:30 yesterday morning fire
broke out in the livery stable OF N. L.
Brown and completely destroyed the
stable together with several adjoining
buildings. A blacksmith shop, the
property of ]. B. Huff was entirely
consumed and the machine and black
smith shops of Lew Brender were
badly damaged. When the fire was
first discovered in the livery barn at
2:3O in the morning it had gained
such headway that it was impossible
to save that structure and the efforts
OF the volunteer firemen were directed
towards saving the nearby buildings.
Mr.. Brender's shop seemed to be
doomed, but thru the good work OF
the fire fighters he escaped with only a
few hundred dollars damage.
One of the first to sound the fire
alarm was Engineer F. w. Clemmens.
After blowing his whistle for several
minutes he left the engine and was
also among the first to reach the fire.
Entering the smoking stable he
located four horses which he sue
eded in getting out and believing
he had rescued all of the animals
rned to his engine. But the
.rlooked two heavy work
ich were in stalls in the rear
lding and by the time they
vered it was too late.

.een quite a retreat for
and hobos who crawl into the
hay to spend the night and it is not
unlikely that one or more OF them lost
their life. The heat was so intense in
the livery barn in which was stored
big quantity Of hay that it is quite
probable that if there was person in
the building that his body would be
entirely cremated and the searchers
will never be able to find any remains.
The residences Of G. W. Sampson
and Ryan Templin were in great dan
ger for a while but the prompt and
quick work of the firemen saved both
places which were only slightly
scorched. Fortunately there was no
wind blowing this night as there has
been several nights lately for which the
property owners in that vicinity may be
thankful.
The team OF horses which were lost
in the stable were the property OF
Burt Williams, drayman, who esti-
mates his loss at about $400 including
A.. the harness. The other losers are as
follows: N. L. Brown, $1,500, insur-
ance, $500. Lew Brender, $400,
covered by insurance; Ryan Templin,
damage to building occupied by Bren-
der about 5000, partly insured.
J. B. Huff, blacksmith shop and
frame building on back Of lot, $500,
no insurance.
