Social Happenings

Mrs. Chas. Anderson and daughter,
Mrs. Basil Lang, entertained the la
dies of the Degree of Honor lodge,
with five hundred party at the home
Of Mrs. Lang, Tuesday evening March
8 in honor of Mrs. John Churchill and
daughter Bernice who have gone to
Yakima to make their home. The
living room was prettily decorated in
red carnations. First prize was won
by Mrs. Stella Roberts, Miss Bernice
Churchill receiving BOBBY prize. Mrs.
Lang favored her guests with several
beautiful selections on the piano, as
sisted by Mr.. Lang. Delicious re-
freshments were served by the hos
tesses at the close of a most enjoyable

that the latter will vote with him when
questions arise that the board would
have to decide. The duties of school
director are new to Mr.. Love and while
it is not unlikely that he would do his
best in the handling of the schools
business, the writer does not believe
that the people as whole would be
satisfied with socialist administration.
repeat again that it is unfortunate
that there are three candidates in the
fight, believing that Mr.. Jacobsen if
he has the best interests Of the schools
at heart, should have stayed out OF the
fight. The socialists have united firmly
for their candidate, and tomorrow with
their friends they will cast fully hun
bred votes for Mr.. Love, which l be-
lieve now, with three candidates in the
field will insure his election.
1t is not likely that there will be
more than 800 votes cast at the most
and if this is the case neither Mr.. ia
cobsen nor Mr.. Patterson could hope
to defeat the socialist candidate. The
writer earnestly hopes that one OF the
two candidates will withdraw from the
race and believes that the strongest
man to run against Mr.. Love will be
Mr.. N. Patterson. Mr.. Patterson hav-
ing served term as school director is
familiar with the work, and above all
things he wants to see good schools.
He is not extravagant in the handling
OF the school funds, and during the
past year has made an excellent di-
rector. He has been asked as to
whether he would favor the present
superintendent c. w. Moore for an
other term and remarked that that was
IudtlCI vi IuluOI lllpOilduSC, WhASh
could be decided at the close of the
school year. In this Mr.. Patterson
used wise judgment. Mr.. Moore has
just as many friends and probably more
than he has enemies. When the time
comes to elect his successor it is time
enough then to talk about finding
man to fill his place. 1t is hard at
times to find competent man to fill
position of this character, but l still
believe that this is a matter Of minor
importance. To every citizen who
votes tomorrow say this-think
twice before you make your choice for
school director, so that you will have
no regret afterwards.
There is not a single reason why
Mr.. Patterson should not be elected.
There is every reason why he should.

The members OF the Degree Of Hon

statement made in last weeks Echo by
Fraternal Brotherhood, in the CORE
spondence column, that their lodges
were among the number Of those that
had ceased to exist in Leavenworth.
Mentioning the D. of H. and M. w.
was evidently an error, but we are as
surred with no intention of doing them
injustice. He simply made one OF
those regretable errors which escaped
the lynx-eyed censor. Fraternal Broth
erhood tried to show there was neither
room or reason for the institution OF
more fraternal lodges here at this time,
by mentioning the fact that several had
already failed for want Of interest or
material to work on. His intention
was to do good, rather than harm, by
showing the waste OF money and advis-
ing all those who wanted to Join some
order to get the benefit of insurance to
join those already established, which
would include the D. Of H. and M.

and sound condition. Echo.

lowed us space to discuss anything for
the public's good. l think the tax
payers in each school district should
get busy and establish a schedule to
list our land by, as it is not listed on
an equal basis. l will give the ratio
as think it should be, the value to
be raised or lowered according to the
amount to be raised in the county. II
there was a fixed ratio for the assessor
to work by there would be less COM
plant. I suggest the following as a
fair basis for valuation: $500 per acre
for land set to eight year old trees and
older, 5000 for 6 and year old trees.
Land with year old trees and younger
listed the same as common farm land,
say SIS per acre, tillable land not in
cultivation at $35 per acre.
Now if any one does not agree with
me let US hear from him through the
paper what his views on the subject
are and the ratio he thinks best.

At the Theatres
Antony and Cleopatra

Lovers Of history, students Of liter
ature, photo drama enthusiasts and all
classes of society in the world to whom
art and beauty have any appeal. will
revel in George Kleine's latest tri-
umph; the Klines are the master pro-
ducers of the world and in Antony
and Cleopatra have eclipsed their
achievement with Quo Vadis." They
have taken the story of Antony and
Cleopatra from the first moment of his
fascination by the Egyptian beauty
through the vicissitudes of his career as
her consort on the throne to the final
episodes where Antony dies defending
her against his Roman compatriots and
Cleopatra kills herself by the sting OF
the asp. 1t is all presented with a
dramatic strength that is surprising to
attain upon the screen, and can only
be done by such masters of express
sion and pantomime such as the Italian
school creates. The spectacular
scenic effects are simply marvellous,
perfect gems Of artistic beauty. The
scenes showing the palace of Cleo
patra, the landing OF the Roman army
in Egypt by moonlight, and the trium-
phant return OF Octatius to Rome have
never been equaled anywhere. At
the Scenic one night, Saturday, March
7th.

The Election of a Public School Director

Tomorrow those of you who will go
to the school house to vote in the ell
election of school director, will find
three names confronting you, N. Pat
terson who is a candidate for re-elec-
ton, F. S. Jacobsen, and the socialist
candidate, John A. Love. All Of the
three men are we'll known, but the
fact that there are three Of them in the
race is unfortunate, since there can be
but one result, and that the election OF
a socialist to the school board, which
will give them two members and COM
plete control OF the school affairs. 1t
is no more than right that the social
lists (of which there are a large num-
Der in this city, should have repre-
sentation on the school board, and at
the present time Mr.. Woldenburg
member of the Socialist party is one OF
the directors, BUT THEY SHOULD
NOT HAVE ALL THE SAY. The
Socialists have ideas of their own when
it comes to running a public school
system, and their opinions and judg
ment may be the best, but does it pay
to EXPERIMENT.
Mr.. Woldenburg thus far has failed
to agree with the other two members
OF the school board and quite natur-
ally now is doing his utmost with the
help OF his party to elect Mr.. Love as
director, believing if not knowing
