CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES
THE MILK ORDINANCE
License Fee For DaiYmen Will Be Low
But Cows Must Be Inspected-Sey-
eraI New Ordinances Read

At the council meeting Tuesday eve
ming, the milk ordinance" was read
for the second time. What the license
should be was the subject OF much dis
cussion. All the councilmen believed
it should be a small sum, just enough
to provide for inspection Of the cows
and the protection OF milk users in
case diseased or doctored" milk
should be distributed in the city at
some future time. The talk OF pre-
servatives in the milk arose again, and
acting city Attorney Pearson said it was
at his home where milk set out in the
sun five days and never soured. Other
members Of the council stated that
they had heard OF similar cases.
M. o. Logan who was present an
nounced that veterinarian was at
present inspecting his herd but had
not yet made his report. The ordi-
nance governing the sale of milk will
probably be passed next Tuesday eve
ming.
Water Commissioner Talbot reported
that he had four men at work on the
supply pipe of the city's water system
and that he expected to have the pipe
open in week or ten days. He says
it is still froze solid in some places, but
is melting very rapidly.
The bids on the city printing were
opened and read and laid over for
another week. The Echo's bid was
IS cents per legal square for first in
sertion and IS cents for subsequent in
sertions. The bid of Geo. Sterling
was As cents per column inch.
The bill Of Johnson & DeBlois for
$50 for painting and kalsomining the
interior of the city hall was allowed.
An ordinance fixing the meeting
nights of the council at twice month
instead Of every week was read for the
first time.
Ordinances for the issuance of sa-
loon licenses to expire Dec. 31st when
the state goes dry and the making of the
health officer city physician. were also
read.

FISH COMMISSIONER
DARWIN MAKES RECORD
Has Turned More Money Into State Treas
ury Than Any of His Predecessors
Gets Many Convictions

Reports on the work of Fish Com
missioner Leslie Darwin show a record
OF achievement out distancing that of
any predecessor Of his, it is claimed,
since the fish department was inaugu-
rated. In the first Do months he was
in Office Darwin collected $4,000
more than had ever been collected by
the department previously in any "a
months. The first year in office he re-
duced the cost Of production at the
state hatcheries from 8819 cents per
thousand fry liberated to Sd cents,-a
clean cut Of SO per cent over the cost
Of production of the previous year. In
the ID months in Office he has made
more arrests, secured more convictions
for fishing law violations and turned
more money from this source into the
state treasury than was done in all the
remainder OF the time since the de-
partment came into existence. Dar-
win is the first fish commissioner that
ever systematically went after illegal
trap fishing. In one memorable raid
he seized traps fishing in illegal depths
OF water that contained nearly $4,000
worth of fish, which money was turned
into the state Golfers. While hereto
fore taxpayers have paid approximately
40 per cent of the upkeep of the state
fish commissioners department, since
Darwin took hold Of the fishery de-
partment has not only paid all Of its ex-
penses but has turned small revenue
into the treasury. And with it all Oar
wins political enemies have been max
ing a fight on him that would keep
lots of men busy sixteen hours a day.

Opening the COkiIIe Reservation

1t would seem that this, of all years,
would be the most opportune time for
the government to throw open to set
tlement this last large body OF agricul-
tural land. The Indian allotments
have all been made and the land CLASH
fed. Under some old law the land is
under the control Of the Indian Bureau
and the functionaries in charge Of that
department Of the government are for
some reason 10th to give their consent
to the opening OF the lands to settle
ment. In the absence OF some sufi-
cient reason why should not this land
be put on the market this summer
when thousands OF people will be at
tracted to the northwest by the two
California expositions. The great army
Of globe trotters being cut off from
Europe will, because there is no other
place to go, visit the fairs by the thou
sands, and along with them will come
other thousands, taking advantage oi
the cheaper rates, to see the great
northwest, and also, along with these
latter will come a percentage who only
want an excuse to stay here. Why
not make the big land opening another
attraction2

New Registration Law

One bill, the passage of which is
causing general satisfaction, is the
quadrennial registration act. The meas
ure is a compromise between the de-
mand of those who wanted a decen-
NAL registration law passed and those
wanting the annual registration con-
tinued. One salutary feature of the
new law is that it provides registration
be kept operative for the quadrennial
term by voting at each election, other
wise registration lapses. This places a
premium on regular voting, and poll
ticians claim will get out larger votes.

ASSESSOR JOE JOHNSON
MUST GIVE UP OFFICE
County Commissioners Determined To
Get Rid of Absent 0fficiaI-May File
Criminal Charges

The way Of the transgressor is
hard," and the future for Joe Johnson,
Chelan county's assessor who has ab-
sented himself from his Office for the
past two months is any thing but bright.
The county commissioners are deter
mined to get rid Of Johnson, and on
top of this and his martial troubles
there is every likelihood of criminal
charges being brought against him. 1t
is alleged that Johnson went away
leaving number Of outstanding checks
with no funds in the bank to pay
them. There are also ugly rumors
relative to irregularities in his method
Of assessment which may warrant Grim
inal procedure. Even though Johnson
should return to the county now, it
would not stop the movement to oust
him from office. It is hoped that he
can be prevailed upon to resign IL
which event the county would save
several hundred dollars. He has written
to a number Of friends saying that he
would return to Wenatchee but it isn't
believed that he will.
Attorney General w. V. Tanner has
decided that the only way to remove
Johnson from office is to hold recall
election movemen for which will start
inside OF another week.

BIG Id. LUMBER MILL
TO RESUME THIS MONTH
Just When Operations Will Begin MOI
Given Out by the General
Manager

After an absence OF six weeks Mr..
George L. Gardner returned last Tues
day. Mr.. Gardner spent most Of his
time in Minneapolis in conference
with the stockholders and directors oi
the Lamb Davis Lumber Co., making
plans for the 1915 run of the big plant
located here. On his return he came
by way of the Southern States and Cal
ifornia. He talked with the yellow
pine lumber men of the south in New
Orleans, He says everywhere there is
a feeling Of uncertainty in the lumber
trade with not much hope of return
of prosperity this year. In some lines
of activity, especially in the grain
growing sections visited, business is
fairly prosperous. Of the grain grow
ing sections of the Mississippi valley
this is particularly true.
Present lumber prices will simply
not permit the manufacturers to make
a profit. and until there is an advance
in prices all along the line he looks for
dull times in the lumber trade.
The Lamb-Davis Mill, OF which he
is general manager, will OF course run
this year, but the exact date when the
mill will start has not yet been de-
termined on. On account OF the slack
demand and low prices prevailing no
effort will be made to run the mill to
its fullest capacity. From unofficial
sources we learn that the logging this
summer will be done principally on
the company's railroad.
Mrs. Gardner accompanied her hus-
hand on the trip and in coming thru
California they visited the great San
Francisco exposition, which he says is
a marval Of beauty and wonder.

Purchasing Power of Farm Crops Is
DwindIing

The Federal Department OF Agricul-
ture has just issued statement show
ing the purchasing power of an acre OF
farm crops in 1918 compared with
1909. While the price per acre OF
several farm crops is shown to have in
creased to some extent within the past
five years the gain in price has not
kept pace with that of some OF the
necessities used by the farmer. The
report shows that the purchasing power
Of an acre OF wheat in 1909 was 90
pounds OF lard while it was only 81
pounds in 1918. In 1909 an acre Of
wheat would buy 243 yards OF calico
while in 1913 the purchasing power
was only l78 yards. Forty-nine hoes
could be purchased with the proceeds
OF an acre OF cotton in 1909 while five
years later the buying strength has de-
creased three hoes. An acre OF corn
in 1909 would buy 79 pounds OF coffee
and only SO pousds in 1918. Twenty
seven pairs Of overalls could be bought
with the receipts from one acre Of cot
ton in 1909 while the purchasing pow
er in 1913 dropped to "a pairs. An
acre Of wheat in 1909 would buy two
more pairs Of brogan shoes than in
1913.

Basket Ball Game Victory for Cashmere

The game between the two high
schools of Leavenworth and Cashmere
which was played on the Wenatchee
court Wednesday night was an easy
victory for Cashmere. This gives them
two games out of three. The locals
failed to show any OF their usual speed
and were outclassed at all stages OF the
game. The final score was Cashmere
IS, Leavenworth, 25. Prof. Moore ol
Wenatchee handled the game in fine
shape.

MADE IN AMERICA
MOVEMENT STARTED
An Appeal to the Patriotism and Eco
nOmiC Sense of American
Women


Miss Genevieve Clark in one Of the
Washington papers was an appeal tc
American women for earnest support
OF the Made in u. S. A." movement
Miss Clark's name headed the article
which was accompanied by a full
length portrait of herself. She began
with a poem of the late Senator John
G. ingalls,, of Kansas, entitled "Oppor'
tunity." which was the theme all thru
her story, but ended in a little differ
ent style, as the closing paragraph
shows:
Il never try to bamboozle myself,
so l am not going to try to hoodwink
anybody else. This isn't as easy as
rolling off log, altho I have always
thot that rolling off a log was rather
concrete proposition. 1t is going to
take patience and perseverance and
some self sacrifice. Let US hope that
we will have the courage, and the in
dependence and the strength to shake
off our old dependency on Europe.
Let US all work together for this much
to-be-desired end. Let US not forget
that it is in our power now, and may
not be for many a year again, if ever,
to make Made in U. S. A." syno-
nym of superiority in all branches oI
manufacture. What if it is a little
personal sacrifice at PRESENT. Would
not it be a monument we'll worth q
little patience and self denial, mutua
cooperation and forbearance and en-
deavor to have the United States o.
America the mistress of the world o.
fashion and MANUFACTURED"
The pledge of membership in the
national organization reads:
II pledge myself for the welfare o.
our country, while the war lasts, to de-
mand and buy everything, whenever
possible, Made in U. S. A and urge
my friends to do likewise"
Miss Clark's comment on this fol-
lows:
1T is a very simple thing. Most
great things are simple. And the re-
suits hoped for and expected in this
league are very gratifying in contem-
plation.
Here are few of the results to be
expected from a hearty cooperation OF
women:
First, it is a patriotic service.
1T will help every man and woman
who works for living.
1T will give employment to many
out of work.
1T will raise the quality Of goods,
products and articles of manufacture.
1T will keep the looms Of our big
mills busy continuously.
1T will bring better times.
1T will teach US self-reliance.
1T will make foreigners respect our
goods, products and manufactures be-
cause we respect them ourselves.
1T will teach US the wisdom Of CO.
operation for our mutual benefit.
1T will make American merchants,
manufacturers and producers proud to
sell Made in U. S. A things.
And last, but not least, it will keep
many a wandering dollar at home.
Alas, the number Of prodigal American
dollars which helped to make this Eu-

London, Oct. 2nd-A French official COM
munioue states: "The only resistance Of the
enemy IN the Artoi5 district was II very vio-
lent bombnrdment OF our new positions enst
of Souchez. In the Champagne district we
secured IA footing ut several points in the
trenches Of the German second line Of de-
fence, west Of the Butte de TahIre, and ut
the Nuyarrin furm. At this latter polut cen
tam dotachments Of cur troops made their
way through and resolutely advanced beyond
the German lines, but 1T was impossible to
maintain this advance because Of the curtain
of fire maintained by the German artillery
aud a very violent hankiug lile fire. Our
men, however, bold firmly the points con
quered by them on the second line Of HE
enemy. South OF Sipont we have enlarged
and completed our conquest Of the first line
of the German positions by taking possession
of a portion OF the important supporting
works known locally as Outrage de IL DEBATE.
Despite the most unfayouabIe atmospheric
conditions our air squadrons bombArded the
lines of communication behind the German
front, and shells were thrown Town on the
railroad stations in the valley Of the Suippe,
at Bazancourt, W0sneryille, Pout F2vergpr
and St. Hlle lie Petit, and upon u German
column marching near Sommepy. I'm Bel

along the coast.
A later report says. 'Iu the Champagne
we have gained ground north Of lie Mesnil
and between Hill 100, north of Massiges, and
the road from Vile Sur Tombe to Cernay
en- Dormois, and at the latter point we took
additional prisoners. BY a counter-attack
the enemy succeeded in recovering u footing
in the Outrage de la DEBATE, but u second
counter-attack, very violent IN character, in
the same sector was completely repuIsed, the
enemy suffering important losses. The clear
ing OF the former German position has per
united the complete computation Of the can
non captured, and the number has been
found to be greater than previously announ-
ced, the tield-Suns and heavy pieces captured
since Sept. 25th on the ~Champagne front
alone reaching a total Of 121. a hotlla of
aeroplanes dropped 10 bombs on the station
of Guignicourt, the bombardment appearing
very etlicucIous, and the aerop.anes, though
violently cunnouaded, returned in safety"
