Shippers Believe Export Trade Will Be
GoOd-Big Apple Firm Gives Out
Price Likely to Prevail

/ Almost every apple dealer in the
valley, particularly those representing
big eastern firms, have received tele-
graphic advices since the close of the
International Apple Shippers Associa-
ton meeting in Chicago last week ad-
vising them of stiffening apple prices
as the result OF a careful analysis OF the
apple production OF the United States
and OF the improved financial condi-
tions. From the estimates made by
the dealers the 1915 apple crop will
be from onethird to half less than
last year. Financial conditions are i'm
proved and shippers are not anticipat-
ing any serious obstacles in the way oil

United States has advised its local
agent that in its judgment the follow

CONCERNING THE SHOOTING
AT BLEWFTT LAST WEEK
Husband of woman Who Attempted
Suicide Says no Trouble Existed
Between Himself and Wife
He Treated Tier Kindly

Mr.. Ed Thompson of Blewett, hus-
band OF the woman who attempted
suicide at that place takes exception
to the writeup last week concerning
himself and his former marriages and
says that the EcEo's informant is either
mistaken or intended to do him a ma
licious injury.
Mr.. Thompson called at the Echo
office Monday and in the course of his
remarks said that while it was true
that he had peen married twice
before, in both instances his wives
could be accounted for. From one
he was divorced and the other died oil
tuberculosis. He states that the re-
ports that he and his present wife had
family trouble are untrue and that he
always treated her in kindly manner.
On Monday week ago he returned
with her from Medical Lake where
she was a patient for several, months
suffering with mental arrangement and
from all appearances she had appar.
emily recovered. On the morning oi
the shooting, August 4th he left for
his work at the mill about 7 O'Clock
and at that time says she appeared to
be rational and in good humor.
When he heard of the shooting in the
evening he was never more surprised
in his life. 1t is his belief that Mrs.
Thompson committed the deed while
in momentary fit Of insanity.
He says she is now rapidly recover
ing from the effects OF the wound in
her head and regrets that she attempted
to take her life.

BACK FROM BIG CHICAGO
APPLE BUYERS MEETING
J. B. Adams Returns With Encouraging
News For WenatChee Valley fruit
Growers

In a brief conversation with Mr..
Adams yesterday we learned that he
came back Tuesday, and after spending
a day at Wenatchee he returned to
Leavenworth Wednesday loaded with
facts, figures and general news Of the
apple situation in the big eastern apple
centers. In the three days meeting,
Aug. a, S and he talked with nearly
all the representatives from the eastern
states. AT this time apple statistics
show that while the 1915 crop is much
below the 1914 yield, the shortage is
not so great as in the year 1918, which
was a year Of high prices for Washing
ton apples. The national meeting oil
apple buyers was unusually we'll at
tended, he says, and the feeling, while
quite optimistic, there was a strong
undercurent Of caution, which was
backed up bv some representative
bankers that attended and addressed
the meeting, saying that while the
financial sky was clear just now and
the prospect Of increasing prosperity
good, still so long as the European
war continues there is always the pos
sibility OF complications arising in the
money market Of the world that, might
upset all calculations and plunge US
into financial chaos.
Mr.. Adams was quite impressed
with the knowledge possessed by the
fasteners OF the crop conditions in
Washington and the northwest, and
especially with the apples coming from
the Wenatchee valley which are well
and favorably known. The determi-
nation arrived at, principally thru his
efforts, to have the Wenatchee valley
crop packed according to fixed rules
and rigidly inspected, said the repre-
sentative Of one Of the largest buying
houses in New York added at least ten
cents per box to every box of apples
coming from this district.
At the exhibition held in connection
with the meeting Wenatchee valley
apples carried off the first and second
prize against fruit from every district
in the United States.

MERCHANTS DELIVERY ARE
IN DISPUTE With MERCHANTS
Arbitration Not Satisfactory and May
Put in Delivery System of Their
Own

An agreement was entered into with
the merchants delivery when they
came into existence here some two
years ago to deliver all packages for
the different stores at given price.
In the event, however, Of business
falling off re adjustment of the price
was to be made. AS business has fall
len off over twenty-five per cent during
the past year the merchants requested
the proprietors Of the Merchants de-
livery to live up to their contract.
This they fatty refused to do. The
merchants accordingly refused to make
any further payments for delivery un-
less the tenets of the agreement were
complied with. On Tuesday A. E.
Wilson, one of the proprietors Of the
Merchants delivery and Lawyer Gill Of
Wenatchee came up to try and effect
a settlement by arbitration.
Three arbitrators were selected, A.
G. Mccoy and S. F. Banks OF the
Golden Rule, and Lawyer Gill, who
finally agreed to a reduction ranging
from ten to twelve per cent.
A thorough investigation by the
merchants brought out the fact that
Messrs. Fsulds and Wilson, proprietors
OF the Merchants delivery, have been
making yearly net profit Of twenty
four hundred dollars on an investment
Of eighteen hundred. Mr.. Wilson
stated that if he could not make one
hundred and fifty dollars per month on
this investment he would quit. The
merchants have not yet decided to
accept the terms Of arbitration and it
may end in their putting in a delivery
service OF their own.

believe in throwing good money after
bad, vote Of those present was taken.
Woldenburg, Miller and Seeley voted
for the resolution and Schubert and
Snyder were. opposed to it. Mayor

ceived from F. D. Kelsey, superintend-

Concerning the Pleasure Which Most
 Men Derive From Building House
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

construction, how many women do you
 ever see standing around looking at it like
 men? Few women find time to watch
 such processes; they merely observe.
 Another big building going up and that
 means that this corner will be fenced off
 for dear knows how long, and we will all
 have to walk out in the street. wish
 everything like this could be finished over
 night and then let alone"
 Men must get more pleasure out of an- ticipation than in realization In building, as in other things.
 Tn the making and building of the house perhaps they feel as if that part of 1t is really their own, and as soon as 1t is finished they will have no indentity With 1t as their wives will immediately step in and take possession of things. In the rough 1t expresses a mans ideas and he enjoys watching the ideas take shape ana form one after another.
 When there is anything to be done about a house beyond a woman's skill, she often hesitates. wondering if 1t is necessary after all before she calls in the aid of a man.
 If the man is blessed with a real con- structive bump (and nearly all that
 know are) she knows that the job will be well done-far better, in fact, than if she brought her own dear implements of war; a hairpin and paper weight into use, still she is sure she could do the work In Just half the time it takes man to do It re- cause he spends so much time in the preparation of the job.
 The steps by which anything Is attained
 do not usually interest woman. She is anxious to get the final result. There are to be sure many patient and persevering women, but when l hear or
 life time being given up to the discov- cry of some scientific data, l feel sure that the ones who have sacrificed years to obtain such must have been a man, Perhaps I shouldn't judge all women, though, by certain characteristics that know are my own; simply because I like to get things done and out of the way, I should not take it for granted that every
 women is just as impatient. l know a few. however, who feel as I do about such things and do not appreciate the construc- tive stage whether it has to do with any,
 thing as big as a house, or as simple as a gown They both look much better when they are finished.
 l It takes a new house years to settle and get to looking "home-lilxe" to woman but long before it has reached | this stage you hear the 'lord of the es- tate" saying
 "rd like to build another house and profit by the experience l have gained
 in building this one" < Perhaps it is an old-fashioned notion to imagine that man was created to be the
 worker, the doer, and that wsman was
 made to make good and beautiful that
 which his hands provided for her, but still cling to it, for in spite of all our new ideas and counsel and advanced" doctrines, human nature goes on being
 much the same.
