jects to Having Her Honey Taken
BY WOOdChOpper

Mrs. Mary Kellum, who resides on
a ranch about a mile east OF this city,
had John Mack arrested the first oi
the week because he cut down bee
tree on her land. Mack was enl-
ployed by Mrs. Kellum to cut wood
on her place, but she says he was in
structed to cut only pine and fir trees.
The wood cutter, it appears, when he
noticed the bee hive in big cotton
wood wanted some of the honey and
proceeded to fell the tree. Mrs. Kel-
lum swore out warrant for Mack S
arrest, charging him with wilfuI de-
struction of property. The case was
tried in Justices court Tuesday after
noon, Attorney Sorenson appearing for
the defendant. Mack was dismissed.

COUNTY FRUIT GROWERS
MUST PAY HEAVY TAXES
Figures Show That Farmers of Count,
Pay the Largest Taxes Railroads
Are Next on List

District Fruit Inspector Clawson has
worked out some interesting figures in
reference to the taxes paid by the diff
ferent interests of this county. Ac-
cording to the figures secured from
the county assessors Office he finds that
the fruit lands OF the county pay 34.8
per cent Of the taxes Of the county.
This however does not include any
thing above Entiat below Vahalla nor
above Leaveworth. The Great Nor
thern railroad pays 17.6 per cent Of the
county tax. In other words one sixth
OF the assessable valuation Of property
in this county is in railroads and rail-
road property.
All other property in the county
makes up the remaining 476 per cent.
Taxes paid by all other property in
Chelan county. other than railroad and
orchard, amounts to S264,382.11

Lake Wenatchee Frozen Entirely Over

Residents OF the lake region who
were in Leavenworth this week re-
ported that the lake was entirely frozen
over for the first time in the recollec-
ton Of the earliest inhabitant about the
lake. Many times in the past twenty
years it has been partly frozen over
but this is said to be the first time
when the entire lake was covered with
ice. There have been times when the
thermometer recorded a lower temper
ature but then there was some wind
which prevented ice from forming.
During the cold spell Of the past ten
days conditions were right, the cold
was unaccompanied by wind and ice
formed over the entire sheet Of water,
seven miles long by from two to three
miles wide.

.BRAKEMEN ARRESTED
FOR PILFERING CARS
Al Gardner and Al MattOS, G. N. Ry. En-
pIOyees Now in Jail On Very
Serious Charge

Al Gardner and Al Mattos, brake
men, both well known in this city, are
now lodged in the county Jail at We
natchee on charges Of breaking into
box cars and stealing articles of mer-
chandise. Gardner was arrested Tues
day by the Great Northern Special
Agent Ed Kirk and taken to Wenat-
chee. After his arrest he intimated
that Mattos was also guilty, and his
arrest occurred yesterday. Sheriff Ken
yon was on hand and Immediately took
charge OF Mattos who was taken TO the
county Jail on the afternoon train.
The railroad detective have been
working on the robbery cases for sew
eral months and believe that they have
proof that there is an organized band
of thieves who are operating between
Seattle and Spokane. The breaking
into and stealing Of merchandise from
cars has kept up continuously and it is
thought that there is someone on the
outside disposing Of the stolen goods.
More arrests are likely to follow within
the next week or two.
OF the two men. Mattos and Gard
ner, there is more sympathy for Gard
ner as he has a young wife and baby
who are likely to be deprived OF his
support. Mattos is a single man.

SI.5O Per Year
The Telephone Girl

The telephone girl sits in her chair,
and listens to voices everywhere. She
hears all the gossip, she hears all the
news; she knows who is happy and who
has the blues. She knows all our sor-
rows, she knows all our Joys; she knows
every girl who is chasing the boys.
She knows every man who is mean to
his wife, and the man who puts food
in his mouth with his knife. She
knows every time we are out with the
boys, as she hears the excuses each
fellow employs. She knows every
woman who has dark past; she knows
every man who is inclined to be fast.
In fact there's secret meath each
fluffy curl of the quiet, demure looking
telephone girl.

MEETING TOMORROW OF
CREAMERY STOCKHOLDERS
Will Meet in the City Hall at 2 p. m. to
Complete Organization

The proposition launched a few
weeks ago to establish creamery at
Leavenworth has made such substan-
tial progress that it is proposed to hold
a meeting of the subscribing stock
holders tomorrow afternoon, in the city
hall. Let everyone who is interested
in the proposition attend the meeting.
The time is most opportune to point
the necessity of diversifying our indus
tries and at the same time develop the
resources Of the Upper Wenatchee val
ley. Lumber and box manufacturing
has done much to build up the town
and make the surrounding country
prosperous. There are lands here that
are better adapted to fruit raising than
anything else. While the fruit busi-
ness is just now suffering from set
back we apprehend this is due more to
lack Of system in marketing than lack
Of demand for our apples, and will be
cured and again become profitable
occupation. Let US by all means es-
tablish the creamery and encourage
the development Of milk and butter
production, thus making productive
the lands that are better suited to this
occupation than some other. The
more diverse the industries of the Up
per Wenatchee valley are the less like
ly are we to feel the effects of period
ical depressions. No agricultural oc-
cupation that we can call to mind
promises better returns than butter
making. The following item, taken
from the post intelligencer OF Tuesday,
should bolster up the couuge of our
ranchers:
Chehalis, Jan. 25.- The Winlock
Cooperative Creamery produced last
year butter valued at S47, ,364.58.

MINING MAN COMES
BACK FROM ALASKA
Don Thomas Believes Thomas Cullr0SS
Mines Will Be Among Best In
the North

Don Thomas arrived from Everett
Monday afternoon. He returned from
LaTouch Island, Alaska, last week.
He says The weather in Alaska is not
near so cold as we have had here in
the past two weeks. He came to at
tend the annual meeting Of the stock
holders OF the Thomas-Culross Mining
Co., which meets about the first of
February.
Mr.. Thomas says they now have
three men constantly employed at
their mines and they have missed but
three days work since the first of last
February. Their main tunnel is now
in something over $50 feet and they
have encountered some very fine ore.
In fact, Mr.. Thomas says that gov
eminent mineralogist who visited their
properties stated that in his belief they
had one of the best group of claims in
Alaska. Every month, he says. he is
visited by or receives letters from par
ties wanting to buy their mine but they
have considered none of the offers and
are determined to develop the mine
themselves. Over ten tons OF ore has
been shipped which will reach the Ia
coma smelter this week and it is said
to be very rich.
1t is the intention, according to Mr..
Thomas, to build a mill at the proper
ties this summer which will be able TO
handle so tons Of ore day, and when
the mill is running between 40 and so
men will be employed. He predicts
that the Thomas-Culross mines will be
producing dividends inside of another
twelve months. Mr. Thomas will be
back at the mines inside OF a month.
Some ten or fifteen Leavenworth
people are interested in Mr.. Thomas
Alaska mining properties.

ATTENTION TAXPAYERS

At the council meeting next Tues
day night, Councilman Woldenburg
will endeavor to get passed resolu-
ton calling for the issuance OF $4,000
worth OF bonds II is his plan after the
sale Of the bonds has been effected TO
use the money in taking up outstand-
ing warrants drawing 8 per cent. He
claims by issuing 6 per cent bonds it
would result in a saving Of D per cent
a year in interest.
Listen now, it will do 40 such thing.
But here's what il will do. 1T WILL
STRADDLE THE CITY WITH JUST
ONE MORE BOND ISSUE. And
Lord knows we have enough bond is
sues out against US now, which must
be paid of sometime.
At the present time when money is
scarce and government loans are bring
ing 5 and six per cent, How can
Leavenworth expect to sell her s per
cent bonds at par. II they we're sold
at all, they would likely bring about
90 cents on the dollar.
But just suppose that our per cent
bonds could be sold at par. Is it right
for the city to issue bonds to take care
of the debts of last years council. The
Echo doesn't think so? Why not
ECONOMIZE. Why not think up
some plan TO take care of those out
standing warrants without issuing bonds.
It can be done and furthermore the
indebtedness can be wiped out in two
or three years. One way to economize
is by cutting out all improvement
work and lowering all salaries. And
there are other ways.
Mr.. Woldenburg who was elected
Mayor of Leavenworth last year on the
economy plank in his platform sat idly
by and saw the warrants accumulate
that the city could not then pay. Mr.
Woldenburg is more responsible than
any man on last years council for
Leavenworth's present financial con-
dition.
Mr.. Taxpayer, be sure and attend
the council meeting next Tuesday
night, and get up and give the coun-
ell your views on this proposed bond
issue. Talk to the councilman from
your ward. Ii is not only your DUTY
but to YOUR INTEREST.

Cold Weather! Yes We've Had Il

From Friday Janaury ID to the last
Of this week, six days, we have had
very low temperature for this locality.
1t ranged every night from 5 to II de-
grees below zero, warming up a little
during the day, ten TO fifteen degrees,
but lowering with the setting Of the
sun. Every day the sun shone
bright and cheeful. What made the
extreme cold entirely bearable, indeed
not uncomfortable, was the fact that
there was no wind. But then We never
expect a breath Of wind during the
winter months and from a residence ol
some twelve years in this vicinity We
can say, we have never been disap-
pointed.

CASHMERE HAS TWO
BIG fires IN A WEEK
One Department Store Entire LOSS-fhe
Other Partial lOSS-CalIed on
WenatChee for Help

Our neighboring town has had two
destructive fires. The first occurred
on the morning OF the 22nd, when the
stock OF goods bought by Hallam &
Birmingham IN November last from
Mills Bros, was entirely consumed to-
gether with the building. The loss is
estimated at $4,000, covered by in
surance. The last big fire occurred
Wednesday morning of this week, jan
uary Doth, when the Big Department
store suffered a partial loss, estimated
at some $4,000. Also understood TO
be protected by insurance. Mr.. Guy
Long, quite we'll known here, was gen.
eral manager OF the latter. The fire
was first discovered in the rear, near
where the Office is located, and had
gained considerable headway. Cash
mere has very good water system but
was found short OF hose Wednesday
morning. Wenatchee was called on
and responded promptly. The dam
age to the dry goods stock was caused
largely by water. The fire was discov-
cred at three o'clock in the morning.
No cause has so far been given for
either fire.

RAILROAD MAN FINDS BUSINESS BETTER
Period of Commercial Reconstruction
Has Begun, Reports Milwaukee
Vice President

No railroad corporation has poured
out money more literally Tor the devel-
opment Of Washington than the c. M.
& St. Paul Co.
That the period of reconstruction Of
Americas commercial and industrial
interests has begun in earnest is the
opinion of H. B. Earling, vice presi-
dent Of the Milwaukee, who returned
recently from an extended business
trip in the East.
There is a good. blanket of snow
from the Cascades to Chicago" said
Mr.. Earling and the importance Of
this fact in the estimates OF crop pros
poets for this year cannot be overes-
timated
There is as yet little reaction in a
constructive way from the recent le-
galized increase in freight rates to
Eastern lines, but the principles which
this permission carries with it sounds a
note OF confidence.
If Western lines can make a show
ing that they, too, need the mony,
believe the interstate commerce com
mission would not hesitate to grant
similar concessions.
All business men in the East are free
in the expression of cheerful sentiment.
