with Mrs. Mckinney for the past Two
years She was in fairly good health
up to about ten days ago. Since that
time she had been rapidly falling. The

viii FOreCIose ON fngIiShmen

S. A. Chisholm Of Wenatchee has
brought suit to ioreclose on the owners
of the Three Lakes Irrigation project
near that city. The men who bought
the property, Messrs. Borton, Harrison
and Unwin are English army officers
and are now in the war zone fighting
for their country. The sale Of the prop
erty to the Englishmen was made
about threa years ago at which time the
price agreed upon was $4,000, which
was to be paid up in full at any time
inside Of 30 years. 1t was agreed upon
however that they were to pay up their
interest every year. The former owner
Chisholm wants the contract broken as
he claims there is $4,000 interest due
him. Messrs. Borton, Harrison and
Unwin il is said have made over $780,
900 worth Of improvements on the
place,

Price of Hogs Sure To Raise

DR.. H. A. Saunders of Wenatchee is
convinced that we will see hogs selling
at IS cents pound in less than year.
Down in Grant county he says they are
selling hogs as low as cents pound
in order TO get rid offeeding low priced
hogs on $3.50 wheat.
On account OF this high priced wheat
the hogs are being pushed on to the
market dll over the United States. High
priced wheat means that corn will also
be selling at an extremely high price
within few months. Then this high
priced corn will mean that large per
centage OF the farmers Of the Middle
West" will shove their hogs on the
market. This consequent unloading
OF the hogs must mean low prices.
I am convinced that it certainly stands
the farmers OF this section Of the state
in need to get into the hog business.

NEW ROUNDHOUSE WILL
BE BUILT THIS SUMMER
The Echo Has it from Good Authority
That Work Will Commence in a
Few Months

That the Great Northern Railway Co.,
will erect new roundhouse in this
city the coming summer, is the belief
among railroad officials, according to
a statement made by railroad man to
an Echo reporter this week. In ad-
dition to this, our informant says the
facilities for taking care OF elgines and
doing repair work will be enlarged
which will no longer necessitate the
sending Of rolling stock to Spokane
every time something needs fixing.
Two years ago a number OF local
railroad men saw the blueprint plans
OF a 80 stall roundhouse which at that
time was to be built in this city. For
some reason or other the roundhouse
failed 10 materialize at that time, but
now conditions have reached the stage
where the improvement can not be put
off another year without heavy loss
to the railroad company. The new
roundhouse to be built this summer,
an appropriation for which amounting
to approximately 500, 900, it is said
has already been made will be erected
under the plans Of two years ago.
The present Accommodations for To-
comotives at this point are very made
quate and there is left standing in the
yards from eight to ten engines every
day, just because there is no place to
put them. In the winter time this is
very expensive in the amount Of ad-
ditional fuel and labor required, as all
OF the engines must be kept hot to
keep them from freezing. This item
of expense was recently figured up and
from all accounts roundhouse large
enough to take care of all the loco
motives would pay for itself in very
few years.
J. H. O'Neil, general superintend-
ent of the western division came over
from the coast Wednesday and met
Mr.. Kelley, master mechanic, also the
superintendents OF the Spokane and
Cascade divisions and together they
spent several hours looking over the
company's holdings in this city.
That their object in meeting here
was to discuss the above mentioned
Improvements, it is generally believed
in railroad circles.

Later Decision in Usury Case

The decision OF Judge Grimshaw in
the Blunck VS.. Pfaff ususy case which
was printed in last weeks Echo, it has
developed since was only memo
randum decision"
In making complete findings the
judge proceeded to take from the loan
the blossom" as he called it. 1t de-
veloped later that in taking off the
blossom the whole bush is taken with
ii and instead Of recovering $718.72
and interest at II per cent amounting
to S103.74, making total OF 1922. .48,
Pfaff will lose the entire amount, both
principal and interest and besides will
be. compelled to pay the costs Of the
suit. The costs include Blunck's costs
as well.
In fact the blossom" together with
the bush has every resemblance Of be-
ing poison ivy SO far as Pfaff is con-
cerned.
The case had been started in the
first place by Pfaff, in which he sought
to foreclose a chattel mortgage OF $718.-
IS and interest at u per cent from
November 1918.

The Wenatchee Commercial Club is

over 100, 900 people try for land when
the reservation is opened for homestead

will be formed and already settlers and

GRANGER cow HAS
RECORD FOR MILK
Produces 2S67.7 Pounds, Making 1893
of Butter, In 80 Day Test-1O5
Pounds MIX, in One Day

The following dispatch coming from
Toppenish, Wash, was taken from the
Spokesman Review Of Monday.
H. G. Davis Of Granger brings a
story of unusual success, which shows
what may be accomplished by hard
work and careful management. Mr.
Davis has recently achieved prominence
as the owner of a COW, Tobe De Kol
ID Johanna" This COW has made a
remarkable record for test period OF
80 days during December and January.
For the thirty days she produced
2867.7 pounds OF milk, making 1913
pounds Of butter. The best seven
day period was 700 pounds Of milk and
2o.67 pounds of butter. The best
single day period was 1858 pounds of
milk.
This COW was purchased last year in
Oregon. She is a granddaughter Of Sar-
castle Lad, who is a noted sire Of milk
producers. MI. Davis now has on his
ranch near Granger, 30 head Of reg
istered Hostein cattle.
Thirteen years ago he began work
for J. P. Marks & Son, Holstein breed
ers Of the Ahtanun district, having, as
he expressed it, wife. a child and
$500 less than nothing. Seven years
ago he embarked in the breeding OF
Holstein cattle. and has built up his
present herd.
He and Mr.. Marks recently pur-
chased bull for $4,000. This is the
highest priced western bred bull ever
sold. Yet the two breeders have an
other bull which they consider more
valuable than the $4,000 one, al
though his purchase price when small
calf was only 81, 900. Mr.. Davis does
not make any statement as to his pres
ent worth, but he is accredited by
people who claim to know his circum-
stances as being worth between $780,
and 100000

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
IN REGULAR SESSION
final Report of Engineer Barnum on the
Construction of The City Water
System is Read

Engineer Barn1m at the meeting of
the council on Tuesday evening last,
finished the reading Of his report on
the construction of Leavenworth's city
water system. The figures submitted
by Mr.. Barnum show that there was
actually paid to the contractors, Seaman
& Quigg, the sum of So, ,655.24 which
they were not entitled to, and to the
above amount he ads 81, 440.24, that
he says represents additional extra mon
ey paid out on the system, that in his
opinion should have been covered in
the original contract price, which brings
the total amount of irregularities to
$14,0o5.86
Following the report Councilman
Woldenburg introduced resolution
which in substance was, That as the
council had reasons to believe, and does
believe that the contractors were over
paid to the amount of several thousands
of dollars for material and work that
was never done, the city attorney is
hereby instructed to commence an ac-
ton in the Superior court against the
contractors, A. ]. Cook, former city en-
gineer and the U. S. Fidelity & Guar.
anty Co., The resolution carried, but
action was deferred until next week.
A resolution introduced at this meet
ing by Woldenburg and passed without
a dissenting vote, does away with the
future boarding of prisoners at Jap res
taurants, which in the past have been
the lowest bidders. In the future only
eating houses conducted by American
citizens will be eligible to bid on this
contract.
The Office Of street commissioner
which carries a salary OF SIS month,
is no more. Woldenburg's resolution
did it.
Several communications from bond
buyers were on hand wanting to know
more about the proposed $4,000 issue.

THE TOWN OF CASHMERE IS
SURROUNDED BY RICH VALLEY
People Interested in Milk and Butter In
dustry to be Established at
leavenwOrth

About the first thing that strikes one
on entering the prosperous and charm
ing town of Cashmere is the >i-e and
number OF the fruit warehouses that
line the railroad track. There are
some eight or ten, nearly all substan-
TALLY built Of concrete, brick or stone,
and some Of them OF immense ca
pacity. Besides having two brick
school houses that would be a credit
to town three times the size, they
have attractive and commodious
churches. Within the past two weeks
the town has suffered two destructive
fires. The Hallam & Birmingham de-
partment store proved a complete loss.
both stock and concrete and brick
building was a complete loss. Four
days after this fire another fire broke
out in the furnace room OF the Big De-
partment Store, in which E. C. Long
and ais son are heavily interested
The damage was considerable to the
rear Of the building while the damage
to stock from water and smoke was
also considerable. We were told but
for the excellent work done by Cash
mere's well trained fire department the
loss would have been mach heavier
The Big Department Store is already
undergoing repairs while it is given
out that the Ellis-Forde Co., owners of
the other building, will at once re-
build.
The principle industry around Cash
mere is growing the Big Red Apple,
and on account OF the disorganized
condition Of the fruit market the town
is little less lively than on former oc-
casions when we have visited there.
Those who are interested in the apple
industry are, however, very optimistic
and believe that once the selling end
of the business is under proper and in
telligent control the business will be as
prosperous in the future as it has been
in the past. Much interest is mani
fest and many inquiries we're made
about the movement to establish a
creamery at Leavenworth. If proper
arrangements can be made for delivery
a considerable quantity of milk may be
expected to be contributed to our
creamery by the ranchers in the vicin-
ity OF Cashmere.
This town has always possessed for
US a charm and attraction that can only
be explained by saying that it always
calls to our mind the Happy Valley"
in Doctor Johnson's Rasselas. If
reasonably expectant human being can
not find contentment and happiness
here he is fit only for Treason, strate-
gems and spoil"

Dr.MCKOwn Reports Scarlet Fever

I was called to see two children in
Leavenworth Wednesday whom I found
had developed scarlet fever. They were
Immediately placed under strict quar-
antine regulation. Thursday morning
when l called again I found third case
had developed. Case No. ! took sick
Sunday. Case No. had been in i'm
mediate contact with case No. and
had attended school Monday. The
school having been exposed to Scarlet
fever, and in view of the fact that
Measles still exist in an epidemic form,
and the further fact that it requires
only from two to five days for Scarlet
fever to develop after exposure, I sug-
gest that the public schools be closed
Immediately.
