passed off pretty quietly, and it
is expected that not more than a
half vote. if that many. was cast.
It is going to take some time for
the voters to get educated to the
new law and the chances are that
by that time, several changes in
the law will have been made. In
Fallon county there was not much
opposition on the various tickets,
consequently those from the out
lying districts did not take much
interest in the election.
If the town council wants to
make a hit" with the general
public in Ekalaka they can do no
better than to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the running at large
upon the pubic streets of ami
mails that are belled. Complaints
are being made every day in re-
gard to the continuous day and
night performance by some of
the bell tollers. 1t would seem
to us that the owners of these
animals would at least put the
mix" on the bells. because if
they do not. they will wake up
some morning TO find an ordi-
nance in effect prohibiting tie
animals from running at large at
all.

whose plants are located nearer
railroads.
That the Peshastin Lumber COM
pany is a concern that will long be
in business in the upper valley is
evidenced by the fact that a timber
supply has recently been purchased
which will enable them to run to
capacity for the next fifteen years,
during which time they will no
doubt become one of the largest
business institutions in this section,
owing to the general excellence of
their products.
The company as originally form
ed consisted of j. c. Biles, presi-
dent; J. R. Harper, yice-president
and w. d. Cartwright. However
during the past year Mr.. Cartwright
disposed of his interests to the re-
naming members of the firm and
has located in one of the coast
cities.
It is no idle boast to say that this
company has succeeded beyond all
their expectations.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-09-11

eventually worked into boxes for
the trade. A dry kiln supplies the
factory with lumber during the
early season of the year, which has
a capacity of 5000 feet daily. A
feature of the business the COM
pany has built up and which has
been a decided success from the
beginning, is the general merchan-
disc store, which was opened last
year. Originally it was the inten-
ton to supply the employees of the
company through this store. How
ever during the past year the bust
ness of the store has doubled owing
to the fact that fair prices are
charged for the goods and because
of the trade accorded the store from
people living adjacent to the mill.
The trade of the concern has
been broadening out during the
past few years so that at the pres
ent time their trade in the box
business extends as far up the Co
lumbia as Pateros, Washington, and
not few boxes have been shipped
during the past season to Entiat,
which is box manufacturing cen
ter.
A fair idea of the volume of bui-
ness transacted by the company is
arrived at when one takes into con-
sideration that four years ago only
twenty-five cars were shipped, while
during the present season over two
hundred cars of boxes and shocks
will be made.
The Peshastin Lumber company
has it's plant located about five
miles from the Peshastin station on
the Great Northern, up the Peshas-
tin valley.
The output of the factory is
handled almost exclusively from
the plant to the station by a five
ton auto truck, which is capable of
hauling a carload of shocks a day.
1t is by this and similar methods
of economy that the company is
able to compete with concerns

WHERE SPORTSMFN
ALWAYS FIND GAME
The Country Surrounding leayenwOrth is
Popular Among Those who Love
To Fish and Hunt

With each succeeding year more
people are coming to the upper val
ley streams in pursuit of fish and
game, which is more abundant in
this section of the county than any
other portion of eastern Washing
ton. Within easy reach of this city
one can find a spostsman's paradise
in a ride of comparatively short
distance, should he be in pursuit of
the speckled beauties or game, large
or small, such as is known to he
plentiful in the Cascade ranges, he
will not be disappointed.
Probably the best known regions
for this sport are the Tumwater
canyon, the Icicle river, Wenatchee
lake, ingalls, creek, Peshastin creek
and Mason creek. All abound with
thousands of finine habitat and are
caught in great numbers each sea-
son. No grander sights are to be
found in any of the national parks
than can be found in our own beau
ty spot. All the beauties of nature
are here portrayed in bold and
unending contrast. The rugged and
prominent profile of the ever green
Cascades are here seen by lovers of
nature in the rough. The many
little streams and lakes furnish
trout and salmon in unlimited guam
titles even to the inexperienced
angler.
Only publicity has been lacking
for this section in regard to the ex-
ploitation of the resources of the
upper valley as to the abundance of
beautiful scenery and the mountain
streams and lakes full of fish. The
kodaker has played an important
part in bringing people to this mec-
ca of the sportsman.
Some go far into the hills through
seeming hardships, where glaciers
are to be found, as we'll as goat,
bear and deer. While the law does
not permit wanton killing of some
of the above named animals, 1t is
seldom that the hunter returns emp
ty handed.
Leavenworth is annually head

boxes. The concern has gained the
reputation of producing as hign
grade box as can be found in this
section. The quality of lumber
used in the manufacture of their
product is the very best, to the end
of making a perfect box.
Due to the great demand enjoyed
by all the factories in this part of
the valley. many of the plants have
been obliged to remodel and in
crease the capacity of their respec-
tive plants. The Peshastin Lumber
company has always had in nina
that equality Counts, but at the
same time have ever been increas-
ing their output.
The capacity of the box factory,
at the beginning of operations had
only a capacity of about 5000 daily,
while at the present time the output
is over 10000 boxes per day As
a consequence, the increased capa-
city of the saw mill brings the cut
of that department to $4,000 feet
daily.
In other words the output of the
plant has been practically doubled
since operations began four years
ago. At the present time about
100 men are employed in and about
the plant which makes the pay roll
of the company in the neighborhood
of $4,000 monthly. The pay roll
of the company is largest during
the summer months owing to the
fact that the plant is operated dur
ing the summer months, However
during the winter months logging
operations are carried on in pre-
paration for the coming seasons
run. During the past year a Holt
Caterpillar was purchased at a cost
of $4,000 with trucks additional
at $4,000, with view to lowering
the cost of logging operations and
getting the bulk of the logs to the
mill during the summer.
About 100000 feet of stock is
carried during the season which is

Got Away From the Odd One.

A curious story comes from the peo-
pie of the Niger. a very rich man
died, leaving the vast fortune (for Nj
geria) of 20001 cowries. 1t fell to the
lot of the king to divide them among
three sons, and he was at his wits
end to know what to do with the one
cowrie A wizard was called in. who
gained boundless credit by doing out
the cowries one by one until only six
remained These he divided into three
lots of two each and gave lot to each
son. The king to this day attributes
this very satisfactory outcome to con-

Peshastin Lumber COmpany's Rapid
Growth

Coincident with the rapidly grow
ing apple box manufacturing indus
try Is the phenomenal growth oil
the Peshastin Lumber company of
Blewett, which has kept pace with
the several leading manufacturers
of the Upper Wenatchee valley.
While the Peshastin Lumber COM
pany is not what might be termed
new concern, it is a concern
which has pushed itself to the front
by methods and operations which
has resulted in the establishment
of business which is considered
one of the necessary as we'll as one
of the substantial manufacturing
plants in the Upper Wenatchee val
ley.
Four years ago when the COM
pany began operations the capacity
of the plant was far less than it
is at the present time. This is due
to two things: The demand for a
standard product, and the Compel
tent management. While it is a
we'll known fact that the industry
has grown by leaps and bounds dur
ing the past few years, it is an
acknowledged fact that the COM
pany has kept pace with other man
ufacturers in this section, which
supplies the greater part of the
fruit growers in the valley with

and take away pictures of this truly
charming Switzerland of America
Publicity in this way has been given
to this, the sportsman's paradise of
the northwest, by those who have
spent a few months in the vicinity
enjoying the sport.
To the north of the city is the
Wenatchee lake region, from which
one can go to the Twin lakes and
White river, which are well known
to many people for the game and
fish that abound that country. To
the south is ingalls, creek, which is
only about fifteen miles from this
city, visited by hundreds annually.
At times veritable tent towns have
been erected during the lull between
seasons, at this popular camping
ground. Icicle creek and Wenat-
chez river are the nearest haunts
of the angler. Hiking parties are
formed quite often in this city and
a trip of twenty to thirty miles into
the heart of the hills is made.

Food of the Chickadee.

The food of the chickadee is made
up of insects and vegetable matter IL
the proportion of seven of the former
to three of the latter. Moths and cat

one-third of its food, while beetles,
ants, wasps. bugs, grasshoppers and
spiders make up the rest. The vege-
table food consumed is composed Of
seeds, largely those of pine, poison Ivy

Work That Blinds,

Many OF the workmen in the Vene-
tan glass factories begin to lose their
sight after they have passed their for
tieth year and soon become totally
blind This is caused by the excessive
heat and also by the glare of the
flames from the glass furnaces.
