Crossed Snoqualmie Pass Sunday

A Mr.. Smith, a trade evangelist,
representing Klyce & Co., Seattle
commission merchants, was here Mon
day calling on the trade, and said he
Snoqualmie pass, thru which
the State highway was recently COM
pleted. He says on account of the
heavy rains and the soft nature of the
recently completed earth work about
twenty miles OF the road on the west
side of the mountains was in wretched
for autoing. He met twenty
or more large cars stuck in the mud,
which farmers were pulling out with
teams. After the road gets packed
and the weather clears up he thinks
the pass will be quite extensively used
as the Snoqualmie is the lowest of the
passes and the grades COM
paratively easy.

SEATTLE TO lEAvfNWORTH
BY WAY OF BLfWtTT PASS

Mr.. Glenn Smith, formerly resi-
dent Of Peshastin, now living in Seat
tie, was here this week, coming by
way Of Snoqualmie pass and the Blew
EFT route, and we are told made the
trip in less than eight hours in Ford
runabout. He says he found the pass
in fairly good condition and wonders
that more. do not make the trip by auto
which he found very interesting. He
is loud in praise of the Blewett con-
nection with the Snoqualmie state road.
One day the past week j. B. Adams
met a man on foot between Leaven-
worth and Wenatchee, on the south
side road, who said he had been en-
ployed by the Ellensburg automobile
club to cover the distance on foot by
way OF the Vantage route from Ellens-
burg across the Columbia river and re-
turn to Ellensburg from Wenatchee to
Ellensburg by way OF the Blewett
route. He said he had not yet seen
the Blewett route bat declared the
Vantage route difficult of negotiation
on account of sand, wanting in scenic
attraction and also lacking in water.

Freight Business Improving

Great Northern freight business
shows an improvement in volume, dat
ing back three months, and yet, reports
the Superintendent's department at
Everett. tonnage is far below last years
figures. There is hope that the coun-
try east Of the Cascade range, where
excellent crop conditions are reported,
will soon begin buying lumber and
shingles to MAKE Improvements.
That the Great Northern anticipates
an early revival in business is evident.
In the Cascade mountains the Great
Northern is employing a crew Of go
men, working on timbered snowsheds,
and much larger number OF work.
men are employed by contracting
firm now engaged in constructing con-
crete sheds. At the conclusion of
summer the Great Northern expects to
have completed the full protection Of
its main line thru the mountains at all
points that might be open to attack
from large or small avalanches Much
other improvement work is being done
all along the G. N. line.

A government survey party arrived
here the first Of this week composed Of
fourteen men, headed by Mr.. Hugo
Price, recently employed in govern
ment work in Arizona, and left Tues
day morning after loading their pack
train at the Mutual Mercantile Co.'S
store. The scene Of their work will be
on the upper reaches of the Icicle
river, about thirty miles from Leaven-
worth, where, Mr.. Price says, there is
several years work ahead. On account
Of the extremely rough country, and
the high altitude, the work can only
be prosecuted during the three sum-
mer months Of June, July and August.
After the first of September snow storms
are not uncommon in that region.

STATE PROHIBITION IN
HANDS OF THE COURT
Judge Wright of ThurstOn County is Not
Expected to Render Decision
Soon

The Gottstein suit involving the val
idity of the state wide prohibition law
is now in the hands of Judge D. F..
Wright of the Thurston county superior
court, who is not expected to render a
decision for some weeks. Whatever
the decision reappeal undoubtedly will
be taken to the supreme court where
the case probably will be heard October
II, the first day OF the fall term.
Attorney Harold Preston, former
Federal Judge George Donworth, and
former representative Dudley G. Wooten
attacked the law in the superior court,
and John H. Powell, representing the
Anli-Saloon league, Attorney General
w. V. Tanner and L. L. Thompson
of his staff defended the law.
Opponents of the law argued that
in nearly every county of the state in
sufficient publication has been given
the initiave and referendum amend
ment, so that this amendment, under
which prohibition was submitted, never
was legally adopted. The proponents
of the law argued that the defect in
publication of the initiative and refer
endum was not such substantial one
as to defeat the amendment.
Opponents Of the law also argued that
the failure OF Secretary Of State I. M.
Howell to distribute the pink pamph-
lets containing the text OF the prohi-
bition law, until 90 days before the
election, whereas the constitution pro-
vided distribution should be be COM
pleted so days before the election, in
validated the law. In reply opposing
counsel cited the provision of the law
that all measures should be printed in
a single pamphlet, and pointed out
that the seven sisters measures were
tied up in the courts. In reply the
opponents showed that the constitution
demanded the distribution of initiative
measures so days before the election,
while the provision for single pamph-
let was merely statutory.
Attorney General Tanner, rejoininp,
contended that the issuance OF the Of
fetal proclamation by Governor Lister,
declaring the prohibition law adopted,
prevented inquiry into alleged techni-
cal defects in the course OF the adop-
ton of the measure.

WENATCHEE FRUIT SELLER
IS IN FAVOR OF PEACH POOL
The Cherry Market Has Gone to Pieces
Yekima Has Gone Into Peach Pool

With the opening Of the cherry mar
ket Wenatchee valley cherry raisers
received IS cents per box for cherries,
which proved very profitable. AS the
season advanced other sections rushed
their cherries on the market under the
consignment plan with the result that
the cherry market went all to pieces.
Profiting by this experience the Yak
ina country peach growers have formed
a pool and will ship only on orders.
Following this lead Geo. w. Coburn,
manager of the Wenatchee Valley
Fruit Growers Association advocates
doing the same thing with the Wenat-
chez valley crop. He is meeting with
some opposition. Mr.. Conrad Rose
says he will handle all his own peaches
and does not favor turning them over
to some one else. He admits the out
look is gloomy. w. o. Dow of the
Fruit Distributors agency. and ]. M.
Wade, Of the Fruit Exchange agency
have not expressed an opinion on the
pooling proposition.
Fruit men talked with President
Adams of the league today and OBJ
tanned his consent to call meeting Of
the shippers for consideration of this
matter. He stated that he did not
wish to take any action on his own
initiative, but would be glad to assist
shippers if they desired help.
Investigation revealed the fact that
comparatively few peaches and other
soft fruits have been signed up to the
selling agencies in this district. Most
growers who have designated selling
agencies to handle their fruit have onlv
included apples in the arrangement.
Indications are that growers are up in
the air as to how they will dispose of
their soft fruit. Experience in previous
seasons, especially when production in
other districts approached the peach
yield of this year. would lead to the
belief that exceptional methods will be
necessary in order to ship peaches at
all, to say nothing OF getting a profit
out OF them.

AND STILL THEY COME
WANT ON CARR PETITION
The Past Week Many Letters Have been
Received from Former LeayenwOrth
Citizens

The first request for signatures to
the petition asking for a pardon for
Mr.. H. E. Carr brought more than a
hundred letters from people who for
merly lived in Leavenworth and knew
Mr.. Carr personally. The first item
referring 70 the matter was inconspic-
uous and was overlooked by many.
Last weeks reference to the matter,
printed on the first page of The Echo,
giving the names Of many of those who
had written letters asking that their
names be added to the list OF petition
ers, brought out another flood OF letters.
Letters from the following named old
residents were received in the past four
days. They are all readers Of this pa
per and will be remembered by those
who have resided here for four or more
years: ,1i-

Scenic Highway Open Next Year

The commissioners of Chelan, King
and Suohomish counties will meet in
the near future to make plans for the
early completion of the Cascade Scenic
Highway. King county has almost
finished her portion of the highway and
Chelan county has done considerable
work. The Snohomish county com
missioners say they will put big force
of men at work early next spring and
get their part done in hurry. Some
work is being done at the present time
on Chelan county's end, which will
leave little for US to do next year.
1t has been long hard fight to get
the road thru, but the end is finally in
sight. Next year the Cascade Scenic
Highway will be open clear thru to the
Coast.

FORM LUMBER TRUST TO
SELL ONLY TO FOREIGNERS
Will Not Sell to Domestic Trade-In This
Way Avoid Our Antitrust Laws

With the avowed purpose of selling
its product only outside OF the United
States corporation has been formed
among the owners of Douglas fir in
Washington and Oregon. 1t is re-
ported that the movers have been
assured by the high-ups in government
circles that no steps would be taken to
prosecute the trust under the restrictive
laws in regard to trusts. In other
words, the democratic government has
decided it cannot prevent our citizens
from skinning the foreigners if they
can. The following cheerful bit Of
news comes from Seattle: After years
OF depression the lumber industry Of
the Pacific Northwest, on which so
much of this sections prosperity de-
pends, is on the way to rehabilitation.
Last week the coast lumber manufac-
turers organized and incorporated the
Douglas Fir Exploitation & Export Co.,
whose purpose it will be to develop to
the fullest extent existing markets and
create new ones for the forest products
OF Washington and Oregon thruout the
world, excepting in the United States
and its dependencies. This will be
done by systematic efforts, such as ad'
vertising and sending representatives
abroad, a thing which has never before
been attempted by American lumber
men, but which has far-reaching sig
nifcance in that it means the revival
OF the lumber market and American
participation in the trade of the world
The further fact that this pooling ar
rangement has the tacit consent OF the
government indicates that business and
commerce is apparently to be allowed
to thrive once more.

Those of Leavenworth's people who
attended former meetings will doubtless
attend this meet. Those who have
not before attended a Chautauqua
should arrange to go. 1t is well worth
your time. Every number on the
weeks program is a gem in its partic-
ular line. The Italian Concert band
is worth the price OF admission at every
presentation.
