LONDON, March 30.-News from the eastern and western frontiers in' dicate that no decisive engagements have taken place during the past twenty-four hours. Dispatches from Petrograd and Berlin both claim vic tories in north Poland, where minor engagements occurred. The attention of the world is centered on the Rus sian campaign in the Carpathians, as it is realized that the invasion of Hungary south of the mountains will compel Germany to exert every effort to assist Austria in repelling the in- vasion. German troops are reported as being rushed southward to defend Cracow and regain possession of the Carpathian passes. Quiet has reign ed along the battle-line in northern France and Flanders. At Mouse Heights, north of Verdun, the French are reported to have forced the Ger mans back several hundred yards.

TELEPHONE LINE Open
TO LAKE WENATCHEE
Line Completed Observation-Disclosures
lnstaIIed-Two Summer Resorts
and Residences On Line

Oliver Bates, the pioneer resident
Of the Wenatchee lake district was in
Leavenworth Tuesday and announced
that the poles had all been set before
he left the lake and the wire was on
the ground and would be strung by
the middle OF the week. All that re-
NAMED to put the lake country in di-
rect communication with Leayenworth
was the installation OF the phones.
This he thought would be arranged by
Friday at farthest. The lake will be
connected with Leavenworth by way
Of the Chumstick line at Winton, so
that the latter place will also be con-
nected with Leavenworth and the lake.
This will prove great convenience
for the residents of the upper country.
They have long wanted telephone con-
nection with this point. The shingle
mill on the south end of the lake will
very probably also be connected.

to meet in the Commercial Club
rooms by President Paulhamus. of the
four state Growers Council to work
out the best plan of marketing the
peach crop OF this valley, which prom

Paulhamus presided at a meeting re-
Gently held in the Yakima valley with
the same object in view, and says

benefit to the peach growers. The
different sales agents are to be called
into consultation.
Mr.. ]. B. Adams, head OF the league
of fruitgrowers of Chelan, Douglas,
Okanogan and Grant counties will at

for their fruit and shall watch the de-
liberations with more than passing in

LOCAL BUSINESS MAN
GETS MARRIED SUNDAY
S. A. Murray of The Palace Store Will
Be Married in Seattle Sunday-Sur-
prise to Friends

S. A. Murray, proprietor of the Pal
ace store is peculiar chap. He doesn't
say much about his business. The
first OF this week the eagle eyed re-
porter Of the Echo in glancing thru his
exchanges noticed where a marriage
license had been issued in Seattle to
Mr.. Salien A. Murray Of Leavenworth
and Miss Elsie Borket of Seattle. Al
ter consulting his directory he decided
that the Murray spoken of could be
no other than our fellow lownsman
who conducts the Palace store. So
the reporter meeting Mr.. Murray on
the street put the question to him.
Say are you married?"-"Well l
should say not'' says Murray. Some
mistake then says the reporter, Sc
attic paper says you are" This was
too much for the Palace Store man and
a broad smile broke over his face.
Well he says if you'll promise to say
nothing in the paper I''l tell you
about it. We are not married yet
even if the license has been issued,
but it is going to take place in Seattle
this coming Sunday.
Mr.. Murray is we'll known here and
his friends wish him much joy after he
takes the leap.

DYNAMITE CAP EXPLODES
BOY HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Children Playing On School Grounds Find
Explosives and Throw Them
Into Fire

Carelessness on the part OF those
blasting rocks on the school grounds
resulted in serious injury to the
young son OF j. A. Fernstrom last Fri
day afternoon. From all accounts it
appears that the Fernstrom boy with
several other children were playing
near the school house and discovered a
number of dynamite caps. They
thought it would be great sport to ex-
plode them, so built up a fire and
threw the caps into it. When the ex.
plosion occurred the Fernstrom boy
was nearest the fire and was struck by
between forty and fifty fragments of the
she'll. Two wounds were made in the
boys head but most of the charge
struck his breastr Dr. McKeown who
dressed the little fellows wounds says
his body looked as though he had been
hit with charge of buckshot.
There was at first much danger Of
lockjaw setting in, which is common
in cases of this kind, but the child is
now out of danger.
The doctor states that on the same
day he made an examination OF the
school grounds and found large guam
tity Of dynamite and box of caps
laying on the school steps which could
easily have fallen into childrens hands.

A Railroad Company that Can Be Good

The action OF the Oregon Washing
ton Railroad & Navigation Co. few
months ago in turning over the unoc-
cupied lands around its yards, stations
and rights of-way to needy persons for
the cultivation Of small garden crops
has brought results far beyond expecta-
tions. Deserving families have taken
up hundreds OF acres of this land and
are raising products which they are
now harvesting. They have cultivated
the ground carefully and have obtained
the maximum results. The agricultur-
lists of the company have given all
possible aid and officials of the COM
pany are more than pleased. Appar-
emily much poverty has been relieved.

Lightning Starts Numerous Forest Fires

From Forest Supervisor Sylvester we
learn that the thunder storm of June
a., which every one will recall as a
most unusual atmospheric disturbance
in this locality was responsible for some
seven or eight forest fires in the We
natchee National Forest. All have
been, by prompt action, put out with
comparatively slight damage to the
forest. The fires covered wide area,
indicating the extent of the storm, and
were located at Derby canyon, Eagle
creek, Peshastin Saw mill, Rye Grass
canyon, West Winton, near Miller S
peak and on Little Camas creek.

SUBSCRIPTION CONTEST
CLOSED LAST SATURDAY
Contestants PIeased-Added Over 300
New Subscribers to the Echo List

The campaign for new subscribers
came to a close last Saturday evening
at 9 o'clock. Miss Laura Hardey was
the lucky winner of the diamond ring.
Taking financial conditions into con-
sideration the venture proved highly
satisfactory. OF course the main OBJ
ject was to annex few hundred new
subscribers "a thousand. if possible }.
We are not disappointed because we
did not fully realize our hopes. In
deed, we are quite we'll satisfied.
Three hundred new subscribers means
at least thousand new readers, which
makes The Echo Just that much more
desirable as medium of disseminating
advertising ideas. Following is the
standing OF the contestants:

The Singing Contest

The entertainment given in the
Scenic theatre last Friday evening, the
leading feature OF which was the con-
test for supremacy between the male
and female quartet, proved most de-
lightful and entertaining event. The
house was crowded and the audience
in raporte with the performers. The
playlet was also highly enjoyable, and
showed how, from bit of gossip, a
horrible story may grow from simply
being handed from one woman to an
other with slight exagerations and vari-
ations as it passed on, always with the
Injunction not to repeat the story.
The final decision, as to whether the
ladies or gentlemen were the winners
of the medal in the singing contest,
was left to the audience, with the re-
suit that there was no decision, which
is perhaps better, as it will be an ex-
cuse for another demonstration.
We prefer to say it was all very
good 1t is safer than to mention
each by name because we might not
be able to measure out the praise with
that degree OF exactnesss which is re-
quired in reporting an amateur per-
formance. Mentioning names some
times leads to trouble, as we have
learned from experience.

More Trout for CheIan County

The work OF stocking the streams
and lakes of Chelan county with trout
is still going on. On Monday evening
Game Warden Ross Watson, accom-
panied by H. Baldridge, superinten-
dent Of the fish hatchery, and K. w.
Carter left for Chiwaukum with big
lot Of rainbow trout eggs, which will be
placed in several small lakes near the
head Of Chiwaukum creek.
The eggs have reached the state
that is referred to as eyed OUT and
will be placed in the sands. 1t will
take about ten days for them to hatch
out. Mr.. Watson states that there are
no fish in the lakes at the present time
and that it will be about three years
before they will be open to anglers.
Every known lake and stream in the
county is being stocked this year, and
this practice will be followed annually
in the future.

BOOSTER TRIP FRIDAY
DREW LARGE CROWD
Hundreds of People from Down the VAL
ley will be Here to Celebrate
on the Fourth

Well, well. you missed some fun il
you wasn't along on the booster trip
last Friday. Everybody had most
enjoyable time and our Fourth of July
celebration received more advertising
than it could have gotten in any other
way. Stops were made at Peshastin,
Dryden, Cashmere, Monitor and We
natchee, where the band rendered sew
eral selections and N. B. Day, the
spieler, teld the dear people" about
our celebration in a most impressive
way. That he convinced them that
Leavenworth was the place for them to
90 on the Fourth if they wanted to
have good time, is the writer's be-
lief. And, by the way, there is moth
ing wrong with Days lungs either.
He trained himself a little for the oc-
casion and it is safe bet that every
one on Wenatchee avenue heard him.
After the demonstration the boosters
separated. Some started homeward
Immediately while other, who had a
gnawing sensation in their insides Wis
tied the Wenatchee restaurants.
Probably the last in the party to re-
turn were Guy Hamilton and DR.. Ju-
dab. They thought the denizens be-
low Wenatchee ought to know what is
going to happen in the upper part OF
the valley on the nations birthday, so
they took it upon themselves to advise
them. Crossing the Columbia river
bridge below Wenatchee they motored
down as far as Malaga and secured
promises from every rancher that he
would be here On July a.

$1.5O Per Year
What's the Matter With the Potatoes!

With this object in view Mr.. N. H.
Briskey recently wrote to the Pullman
Experiment Station, Pullman College.
His potatoes have black spots in the
center, potato malady more or less
common in this portion Of the Wenat
chez Valley. In reply to his letter he
was told by F. D. Head, plant pathol
ogist OF the college, that the black
centers in potatoes was probably due to
storage conditions, and added that it
might also be due to unfavorable con-
ditions in the soil. Mr.. Briskey says
he will write Prof. Head that storage
conditions in his case is not respon-
sible for the black center in his pota-
toes, and endeavor to determine just
what is necessary to eradicate the
disease.

WELL KNOWN DRIVERS
PASSED THRU HERE
No. tuesday Afternoon Carried Men
Who Broke the Worlds Record at
Chicago Last Week

Dario Resta and Earl Cooper, two of
the worlds greatest speed fends in
auto racing, passed thru Leavenworth
Tuesday afternoon bound for Tacoma
where they are entered for the big
racing event at the Montamaro festo
to be held in that city July Q, 8, 4.
Their cars Stutz driven by Cooper
and French car driven by Resta were
carried in special car attached to No.
/. Both machines develop better than
a $50 horsepower. Resta's mocha
nician in speaking with an Echo re-
porter during the stop here said: We
broke the worlds record at Chicago
making seven stops in 500 mile race
and averaging o7.6 miles an hour.
This time was made on a wooden track
and is the fastest ever made in the
world. Cooper made the 500 miles
at an average speed of 90.3 miles an
hour. The previous record made by
Ralph de Palma recently at Indianap-
oils was at the rate OF 1884 miles an
hour.
Both Resta and Cooper are expect
ing to establish another worlds record
at Tacoma next week.

THE IDEA GROWING THAT
GREAT WAR WILL SOON end
A Back Fire Has Started Among the PeO-
ple-LaCk of Money is Also Be-
coming Evident

A movement that had its inception
among the socialists Of Germany the past
week may be the beginning of the end
of the war. This was the first movement
on the part of~the people to end the war,
and will be followed by the people Of
other nations among the warning gov
ernments.
Every person in the northwest who
wants prosperity is anxious to see the
European war. settled. Experts admit
that as soon as it is ended the north
west will undergo the greatest period
Of prosperity in its history. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that secret peace nego-
tiations are in progress and that all the
warring nations are anxious to have
them end successfully. One Of the
greatest arguments in support Of the
peace movement is in the nature Of
statistics put out by the Red Cross So
ciety, and admitted to be official, Civ
ing the enormous number of lives
which have been sacrificed on the
European battlefelds. To March 1st
seven months fghting-they were
in round numbers 8,800,000. The
losses during the past three and one
half months have, it is admitted, aver
aged those of the seven previous
months. This would bring the losses
close to 13,200,000. This does not
include the losses in Turkey and Italy
to date. U. S. government officials,
following closely as they do every
movement in the European war, give
it as their belief that the war will likely
see its finish in the next sixty or ninety
days-maybe earlier. In this same
connection the government calls the
attention of the country to the fact that
wheat prices are sure to drop. AL
ready there has been a big slump and
further slump is sure to follow. Gov
eminent reports show a crop of wheat
OF o50,000.000 bushels Europe is
already very we'll supplied with whe at
and is not taking much interest in pur-
chasing the American supply. Fur
thermore, as the U, S. government
admits, the buying power Of Europe is
on the decline. If necessary the
Europeans will produce their consump-
tion OF wheat. All this means that the
| American farmer will renew his activ-
tiles in the hog raising field. The
government says there is already strong
signs in this direction and it urges the
American farmer to go deeper into this
branch of farming than ever before.
Reports from Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana, as we'll as other
western points indicate that the hog
raisers are following the governments
advice and planning hog raising on a
greater scale than ever before. Pork
is now higher than it has been and it
is conceded that profitable prices will
prevail from now on.
