SMITHS PITCHING AND HARD
HITTING wins FOR 11'WORTH
SOuthpaw TwirIer Allows Only Two Hits
And Gets 20 StrikeOuts- -Pearsall
Gets Four Base Hit

Smith, or "Smitty" as he is called
by his team mates, had everything his
own way last Sunday and Leavenworth
won easily by score OF 6 to Q. The
little southpaw had wonderful control,
and his twisters, especially the big
Drop" was such a puzzler to the Wis
itors that they were able to land only
twice on the ball for what might be
called hit. Outside of these two
hits there was very little hitting done
at all. Twenty strike-outs were cred
tied to the left handler and in one in
ming he used only nine balls to retire
three men. In the two following in
nings he was compelled to throw few
more balls to the six batsmen who
faced him, but they also were unable
to fathom his curves and returned to
the bench in disgust.
Up to the fifth inning it looked as
though the score was going to be a
little bit close. Wenatchee managed
to get one runner over the pan at their
first time at the bat, thru succession
of errors, and the locals had as yet
failed to get man around to third.
Foster was working good for the Wis
itors, and being in the lead wore
confident smile. In this inning, how
ever, Daily started the fireworks when
he got down to first on a dinky hit to
short. Miller reached second on a
two-bagger and Pearsall, who by the
way has some reputation as slugger,
cleaned up the bases when he dropped
the horsehide over the right field fence.
Those three runs would have been
enough to win, but by this time the
boys had fosters number, or at least it
looked that way, so they concluded to
put the game on ice and in the next
inning 8 more scores were added,
bringing the grand total to 6. We
natchee' got one more run in the sew
enth, but that was the best they could
do.

carry few gray hairs, and as an enter
tainer he is a top notcher.
After all is said and done, the fact
remains that Hal Starks is about the
best indicator man in this part of the
state. He has received offers from
Ban Johnson but has refused on ac-
count Of being the fortunate or un-
fortunate possessor OF a 200 acre apple
orchard which demands his attention.
1t was an unfortunate occurrence In
the 9th inning when Gill, throwing to
second, put his sights too low and
struck Foster on the forearm, putting
him out of the game. Gill was then
sent in to pitch the remainder Of the
game, and there were some in the
grandstand who were heard to remark,
well, I'll bet he did it on purpose;
he never did like playing on the
bench.
Under your management, Mr.. Ell
lott, our ball team is doing first rate,
but very good friend of yours and
mine has requested me to ask you a
question, which may not be favorably
looked upon by those most interested,
but which under the circumstances l
can not overlook. Don't you think
it possible to get little better hitting
outfeld? OF course, this doesn't in
clude Pearsall, Daily or Clickenham.

MERCANTILE CHANGE

Business of Peshastin Mercantile
Company

A deal was closed this week by
which Mr.. o. D. Reeves, president
and general manager of the Peshastin
Mercantile Co., will turn the business
over TO Messrs. c. E. Hamilton and
Pat L. Gallagher. Mr.. Hamilton has
been in the insurance and land busi-
ness here for number of years. Mr..
Gallagher was for number of years in
charge of the drYgoods department of
the Leavenworth Mercantile Co., and
for the past two years has been con-
nected with the Potlatch Mercantile
Co., at Potlatch, Idaho. He is a man
OF large experience in the mercantile
line and is considered very success
full manager and salesman. Both gen.
tleman have a wide acquaintance in
the western part of Chelan county.
Both have had business experience.
and are full OF energy and push. If
success does not attend on their ef-
forts it will be no fault of theirs. I'm
der the management OF Mr.. Reeves
the company has done fairly pros
porous business, and when apples were
apples Peshastin was a good business
point and will be again in the near
futura

CITY CAN RECOVER ON
WATER WORKS DEAL
Legal Opinion of Nuzum & Nuzum, SpO-
kane AttOrneys-NO Definite
Amount Stated

In quite a lengthy opinion by Rich
ard w. Nuzum, read at the Tuesday
nights meeting of the city council, he
said that there is no question but that
the city can recover from the contrac-
tors and the city council the difference
between the contract price OF $44, 900,
plus $500, and the amount the coun-
Gil voted Seaman & Quigg. MIR. Nuzum
finds that the contract amount was $44,-
900 to complete the water works ac-
cording to plans and specifications.
That in addition the city became legally
liable for an additional $500 to pay
for the bridge to carry the pipe line
across the river. Mr.. Nuzum also finds
that the contractors did not perform
certain work required under the con-
tract, the value of which should be de-
Quoted from $500. Mr.. Nuzum
closes his communication with the fol-
lowing paragraph:
MY advice to the city council is,
if there are any warrants outstanding,
that have not been paid, that an action
in equity be Immediately brought to
cancel those warrants, and include in
that action all of the members of the
city council and Seaman & Quigg, and
ask for judgment against all OF them
for the moneys wrongfully appropri-
ated."
The clerk was instructed to ask Mr..
Nuzum what his fee will be in the
event the city decides to employ his
firm.

OVER 2OO,OOOSHEEP TO
CRAZE IN THIS LOCALITY
Owners Are Now Driving Their FlOCks
This Way-COmbined Herds Worth
Over $1,00O,000

By the middle Of next week the an
nual drive Of sheep into the Wenatchee
National Forest will have begun. The
sheep men are already coming into
Leavenworth to size up the situation
and make preparations for their bands
which will reach here within a few
days. From Forest Supervisor Sylvester
we learn that between 100000 and
100000 sheep will Craze on the We
natchee forest this summer Many
sheep will be driven into the Chelan
aud Okanogan forests and on the three
reserves Mr.. Sylvester estimates that
there will be between 100000 and
100000 head. For the grazing privi-
lege the government makes charge
OF 613 cents a head for the season,
but lambs under six months OF age are
allowed in free. The sheep industry is
annually quite source of revenue to
the county as we'll as the government,
the county getting IS per cent of the
proceeds. Between $4,000 and $4,000
a year is collected in this manner.
The coming Of the sheep herds also
brings considerable money into Leav-
enworth, as most all of the supplies
needed by the sheep men are bought
from merchants in this city. Among
the largest sheep owners to come into
this section are George Hendricks, Mrs.
Vessey, Butler Brothers and Pete Oil
vier. Mr.. Hendricks is probably the
largest individual owner, having at times
between 10000 and 10000 head.

FACTS WORTH MENTIONING

Speaking about Crabs" Triplette
is almost as bad as some one else on
the local team.
Miller got off a little bad Sunday,
letting few easy chances get by him.
Nevertheless it seemed good to see
James back on the diamond again.
AS first baseman Charley Wescott
is improving. He received some bad
pegs Sunday but managed to stop most
everything that came his way, altho
one or twice he was forced to lay down
to do it.
mig" Langdon has given up the
job Of backstop and put Spike" Muir
dock, whose work has been above crit
icism so far, behind the bat. "Nig's"
ball playing ability hasn't been ques-
toned, either, as yet, even if he does

On account OF a ruling of the postal
department we can no longer mail the
Farm Magazine Section of the Echo,
hetherto sent to subscribers in Chelan
county every week. The Farm Maga-
zine, the postal authorities have de-
cided, must be mailed direct from the
office of publication. We have found
this feature OF The Echo so popular
with our readers, especially with those
who are engaged in agriculture, stock
raising and kindred pursuits, that we
decided to continue sending the Farm
Magazine Section to all our county
subscribers, now numbering over TOO,
just as heretofore. Instead, however,
OF receiving it every week inserted in
The Echo it will hereafter be mailed
directly from the Office of publication,
which at the present time is Portland,
Oregon. This arrangement was en-
tered into the past week at meeting
with all the other publishers of papers
in the State of Washington who have
in the past used this service and will
continue to use it in the future. The
Echo is the only newspaper in Chelan
county that can use this service in

SEVENTH and EIGHTH GRADE
STUDENTS ARE TAKING EXAMS
Twenty-seven Pupils in Grade Building
Had Perfect Attendance Ce-Mani-
Testing More Interest

That there was much interest taken
in the school work the past term in the
grade building, over which Mr.. H. B.
Ellison presides, is shown by list Of
the names of students who had per-
feet attendance the past year. This
means that they were neither absent
nor tardy during the term OF school.
Mr.. Ellison states that the attendance
was far greater in the last nine months
than it has ever been in previous years.
and believes it is due to the fact that
the pupils are making better progress
and taking more interest in their work.
Yesterday and today the pupils in
the seventh and eighth grades, about
fifty in all, have been busy taking the
state examination, and Mr.. Ellison is of
the belief that practically all will make
passing grades. The examination pa
pers are prepared in the office Of the
state superintendent and while as rule
they are quite difficult only few fail
ures are anticipated, owing to the thor
oughness of the past years work.
Following is a list of pupils who had
a perfect attendance:
Alfredo Davis, Oromel Montgomery,
Gladys Fernstrom, Evelyn Yocum,
Leslie Lingley, Talbot West, Mahlon
Banks, Inez Ewing, Fred Ruth, Irwin
Null, Edward Miles, Lois Ruth, Give
Schneider, Moile Duncan, Henrietta
Smith, Winona Miles, Clark Marble,
Howard Roach, Barton Bolton, Daisy
Mcintosh, Elsie May Elliott, Gladys
Ruth, Ellie Montgomery, Paul Wal
lace, Waldo Roberts, Cordelia Satter-
white, Warren Williams.

connection with its circulation. The
association haying charge of the publi-
cation Of the Farm Magazine by pur-
chase recently took over the Western
Farmer, published at Spokane, with a
circulation of $4,000, one of the oldest
and best agricultural publications in
the northwest, and secured the services
of E. E. Faville, its editor, who has
long had the reputation Of being the
most forceful and gifted writer on mat
tiers of interest to the farmer, stock
raiser and orchardist. AS heretofore
especial attention will be paid to the
experiments made by the state agricul-
tural college and the Federal Bureau
having in charge and conducting a
world wide research into everything
that pertains to the use and cultivation
of the land. All the other features
heretofore embraced in the Farm Mag
azine will be kept up. New features
will be added as time and experience
may show them useful and beneficial
to that part of our population upon
which rests the prosperity and future
welfare of the nation, the man who
makes his own living out of the soil
and feeds all the balance.

TEACHERS ARE LEAVING
ON SUMMER VACATION
Many are Planning on Visiting the San
Francisco ExpOsition-Others Will
Go Back to Nature

The long expected vacation period,
which is usually looked forward to by
the teachers as we'll as the students,
has finally arrived. Last week marked
the close of the high school work and
today ends the grind for the students
in the grade building.
With the exception Of Superinten-
dent Osborne, who has ranch about a
mile below the city, and Principal FL
lison, who owns an orchard tract near
Monitor, to which they will devote
most of their time. all Of the teachers
will be absent from Leavenworth during
the summer. Most of them will re-
turn to their homes and many Of them
will go by way Of California to take in
the San Francisco and San Deigo ex-
positions. Thru a member of the fac
ulty we were able to get the plans Of
most Of the teachers.
Miss Haas and Miss Geerds will re-
turn to their old homes in Michigan,
Miss McNab will spend the summer
with relatives in Kansas.
Miss Costello. whose home is in Bel
lingham, plans on attending the nor
NAL school at that place for several
months.
Misses Alice and Lulu Dahl will
spend some weeks with friends in We
natchee, after which they will leave
for their home in Wisconsin.
Miss Johanson goes to Tacoma for
the summer.
Miss Kempfeld, another resident of
Wisconsin, will spend her vacation in
the Badger state.
Mr.. Brown, who will not be mem
Der of the faculty next year, will proba-
bly, remain in Leavenworth during the
summer and is figuring on going to
Montana in the fall.
w. F. Bickle will leave shortly for
his home in Iowa, and rumor has it
that he will return in few weeks with
bride.
Miss Elsie Meier will sojourn on the
Coast during the vacation months.
Miss Meta Smyth, another one of
the teachers who will not be back next
year, will return to her home in Mis-
souri,.
Miss Dandy expects to spend most
of the time at her home near Couer
d'Alene, Idaho.
Miss Hinman will visit with relatives
in Seattle and probably see the exposi-
ton at Frisco before returning in the
fall.
Miss Warren will spend the summer
at her home in San Deigo, California.

New Store Didn't Open

M. A. Murray, proprietor Of the EN-
porium Department Store Of Wenatchee,
who had planned to open a clothing
store last Saturday morning in The
Echo block, changed his mind when
he was informed by the city clerk that
it would be necessary for him to pay a
license OF SIS a day or show six
month lease. Mr.. Murray was put to
an expense Of about 500 in moving
his stock to this city, paying for print
ing, rent and other incidentals. and
never once opened his doors. He said
he did not think that the amount OF
business done in Leavenworth at the
present time justified his locating here
permanently.

Running Long freight Trains

The length of freight trains has been
increasing for some time and the ton
mage now hauled by two engines and
one train crew is enormous. One day
this week 140 cars were brought up
from Wenatchee. Over half the cars
however were empties, but the grade
between Wenatchee and Leavenworth
is one continuous climb. A train sell
dom comes in from the east now that
does not contain upwards OF one hun
dred cars. When there are more than
one hundred cars the train has to be
divided to make siding room for it
The sidetracks are made to hold ap-
proximately hundred cars only.
