Mr.. w. E. R. Robson-known

hakes his announcement as a candi-
: late for representative. Mr.. Robson

derstood also that Mr.. j. T. Hamm
Will be a candidate for reelection to

WILL START CAMPAIGN TO
ADVERTISE QUINCY PROJECT
Spokane Bankers are Asked to Buy
$4,000 Worth of District Bonds
Bonds Secured by Land

Preparations for a vigorous cam
paign in behalf of the Quincy irrigation
project are being made in Spokane,
says the Chronicle in the effort to
place with the Spokane clearing house
association $4,000 worth of bonds
secured by the 400, 900 acres Of land
that come under the scheme.
o. A. Kuck, president of Ephrata
State Bank, A. ]. Tenant, secretary Of
the Quincy project association, and
other business men of the district are
arranging the sale.
The $25, 900 issue is a part of the
100000 authorized by the last ses-
sion of the legislature, and if the
money is secured it will be paid to
the old Water Users association for
its right in the project. The Water
Users association then plans to pay
off debts and use the rest in present
ing the referendum issue to the people
this fall.
The owners of the half-million acres
OF land and the residents in the dis
trict here have asked the state to
create a special irrigation district COW
ering all of the immense territory, and
to allow them to issue $40, 100000
worth of bonds against the land, in
case qualified engineers decide after
an examination that the land can be
irrigated feasibly. The last legislature
put the matter up to referendum
vote of the entire electorate at the
election this fall.

LIBRARY BUILDING AND REST
ROOM ON FRONT STREET
Movement Now On Foot to Get for leay-
enw0rth These Two Much Needed
improvements

Some OF orr public spirited citizens
who are too modest to allow of
their names being mentioned are
heading a movement to get for this
town two very necessary improve
ments. The proposition is to erect a
substantial library building on Front
street opposite the Tumwater Savings
bank, in the southeast corner of the
park, for the use of the ladies who have
kept up the library, and in connection
Herewith rest room for the use Of
women who visit the shopping district,
which would also be accessible to peo-
pie from the country or strangers, pro-
vided with lavatory, toilet and other
conveniences, such as table, chairs and
writing material.
If the proposition works out as
planned it will be built without cost to
the town. For the purpose of prepar-
ing the plans and taking preliminary
action Messrs. w. w. Wilder and VIM
Smith will meet with committe from
the library board at the library rooms
Monday evening next at 1880. Messrs.
o. S. Sampson and VIM. Mcintosh,
with such assistance as the editor Of
The Echo can render, will undertake
to provide the ways and means to put
into execution the plans outlined above.
Contractor Stoltze finished up his
sewer contract this week and City En-
gineer Barnum says he did a good job.

LAKE WFNATCHEE RESORT
CHANGED HANDS THIS WEEK
Mrs. Irene Gordon, Proprietor of The
Overland Hotel, Pays $500 for
The Club House

Mrs. Irene Gordon, proprietor Of the
Overland hotel, closed deal this week
with N. Coleman, owner of the Lake
Wenatchee Climb House, whereby she
takes over this we'll known summer re-
sort. The deal was made by c. E.
Hamilton who states that the consid-
Grafton was $1,000. There is % acres
acres of land included in the sale to-
gether with two launches, the Lamb
and the Rebe.
While it is not likely that Mrs. Cor
don will open the place to the public
this year, owing to the lateness of the
season, it is her intention to put force
Of men to work this week to clearing
up the grounds and making other
needed Improvements. She expect
to have al, the rock and underbrush on
the land cleared away and will make
the place more attractive by putting in
lawns and building driveways. Tennis
courts are also planned and in fact
nothing will be left undone to make it
one Of the most delightful summer re-
sorts east OF the Cascades.
The Club House which is construct
ed from logs was built by Lafayette
Lamb OF the Lamb Davis Lumber Co.,
for a summer home about ten years ago.
Three years ago Mr.. Coleman bought
the house and operated it for two seas
ons. All his attention being confined
to his lumber business at Entiat this
summer, he rented the place to Geo.
w. Brown who at present has charge.
Mrs. Gordon is an experienced hotel
woman and with the many improve
ments planned. it is sure to become
popular among pleasure seekers.

OLE HANSEN GREETED
BY A LARGE AUDIENCE
Unusually Large Crowd Assembled to
Hear The Progressive Candidate
for United States Senate

Probably the largest number OF citi-
zens that ever turned out to a political
meeting in this city heard Ole Hansen,
progressive candidate for the United
States Senate, talk on the street Wed
nesday evening. 1t is estimated that
there were from three to four hundred
present and more attentive audience
would have been hard to find. Mr..
Hanson is an able and interesting
speaker and his plan TO secure 4 per
cent money for farmers. made de-
cided hit here as it has done in every
part of the state in which he has vis-
tied. 1t is the one plank in his plat
form to which he devotes the greater
part OF his talk, believing that the high
rate of interest is more than anything
else responsible for the high cost Of
living. Mr.. Hanson is an advocate OF
the back-to-the-land movement and
says with cheaper money which will en-
able man to clear his land and put in
crops, the cost Of living is sure to fall.
Elect me to the u. S. senate,
says Mr.. Hanson. and I promise you
that I will get bill thru congress to
secure 4 per cent money for farmers,
or I will come back to the state Of
Washington all scared and battered
up" Everyone who knows Ole Han
son, knows that he is a fighter and
means what he says and if he doesn't
succeed it won't be because he didn't
try.
Mr.. Hanson was elected to the state
Legislature from King county few
years ago and in his district where over
5000 votes were cast only 10 votes
were against him. This speaks well
for the man who asks the people Of
Washington to send him to the upper
house of congress.
Those who failed to hear Mr.. Han
sen should turn to page of the maga-
zine section OF the Echo and read his
plan to secure 4 per cent money for
farmers.

Father Van de Walle of the Catholic
church of this city is native Of
Belgium, tho a naturalized citizen Of

past years in this country and for
five years has been resident Of We

native land is taking prominent part.
The relations between the Belgians

friendly, according to Father Van de

been with a great deal of reluctance
that the Belgians declared war on their
powerful neighbor.

LfAvENWORTH WOMAN IS
ARRESTED IN WENATCHEE
Marie Lewis, Alias Mrs. Harry Bryant,
Well Known in this City, Pays Fine
of $35 for Immoral Conduct

Marie Lewis, alias Mrs. Bryant, wife
Of Harry Bryant, painter Of this city,
was found guilty Of immoral conduct by
a jury in the Wenatchee police court
Monday evening. She was fined $35
and costs by Judge Mccoy. She paid
her fine at conclusion Of the trial and
was released. The trial began at $3.50
p. m. and the evidence did not 60 to
the jury until o:30. 1t was after loo
a. m. when verdict was reached. The
jury consisted Of c. M. Denniston, A.
A. Elmore, H. A. Boblett, E. F. Cad
man, Frank Case and ]. H. Dickey.
Attorney Fred Reeves and Fred
Crollard put up stubborn fight for the
defense, while City Attorney Kemp
was alone on the prosecution. A large
crowd of men was attracted to attend
the trial by the opportunity to hear
salacious testimony. Seeing a number
Of witnesses humiliated also appeared
to interest some. The prosecuting
witness was the woman's husband,
while the most damaging testimony
against her was given by a couple o.
young women who fell into evil ways
through her influence.
According to the Daily World theil
Office force has over a box Of cigar:
brought in by some Of the dozen or SC
young men Of the city, named by the
girls in their testimony. Naturally
the young men are not seeking pub
licity and hence the cigars.
Mrs. Bryant was arrested severa
months ago in Wenatchee during :
hotel raid and is a we'll known char
acter in that city.
Mr.. Bryant, it is understood, will a
once apply for a divorce.
