If You Have The Faith Do Likewise

A lady who has made her home in
Leavenworth long enough to like the
town and its surroundings walked into
the Office one day this week, and hand
ing US a check for 81 so, said, Please
mail The Echo to this address. l am
hoping that reading it will induce him
to remove here" Now, that is what
we call a loyal and highly useful cit
izen. Would that there were more
such. Having lived here long enough
to convince herself that it is a good
country to live in and make a home
she wants others to know the fact.
Telling the truth about this country
and avoiding telling what is not true
should have the desired effect. II he
comes ON our recommendation he will
not be disappointed, because we do
not intend to print what an examina-
ton will show is not true.

the European war the pendulum would
now be swinging TO the side Of pros
perity. That horrible event only arrest
ed the motion for time. Having
stood the world war shock and kept
our heads clear and our hands off, we
can say to the warning nations, in the
words Of the good book, altered to suit
our purpose, Come unto to US all We
that are battle-scaued and in want; we
will heal your wounds and administer
to your wants" After this modern
Armageddon is over there will be an
awakening, a tremendous forward world
movement toward better things, in
which the United States will lead the
procession.

Taxes viii Soon Be Due Again

Within the next few months every
taxpayer in Chelan county will receive
statement OF his 1914 taxes, which
must be paid this year. Readers Of
The Echo will remember we stated
last March that taxes would be higher
this year. In this statement we are
upheld by Mr.. Cowan, who probably
understands the tax question better
than any other man in the state Of
Washington. When the howl went up
last spring about high taxes he ex-
planned in the Spokesman-Review why
taxes were high and how they could be
kept down. Did any one profit by his
advice7 Did any taxpayer exert him
self to make them lower? When vo-
tiers went to the ballot box to vote last
November did one in a thousand stop
to think his vote had some relation to
his taxes? 1t is safe to say that not
one in a thousand thought OF taxation
when he voted. To effect taxation you
must think and vote two years ahead.
Taxes will be higher this year and the
obligation will be harder to meet. We
look for some more bowling and kick
ing soon. and few more tax foreclos-
ure sales than last year. Taxpayers
kick like mules at taxpaying time, and
vote like sheep on election~day.

A Wager The Stake, a Reputation

Guessing at the future. Making pre-
dictions and forecasting events has
always possessed mysterious fascina-
ton for US. A fascination comparable
to the lure of the goddess Of chance
for the vivid imagination of the con-
firmed gamester. Surely not because
we make pretensions to foreknowledge,
prescience or occult reasoning powers.
II must be the sporting instinct. The
possibility OF winning. Not riches; we
never placed a very high value on
them. Nor honor; that is too fleeing
and tickle. Can it be reputation3
Perhaps. Reputation for being true
or false prophet Again, perhaps.
In making predictions there is always
the possibility Of being rated simple
ton rather than a seer. Of winning
the cap and bells and losing the palm
crown of the sage. For lack OF bet
ter reason this must account for our
venturing on the prediction on this,
the first day of the year, that 1915 will
be remembered as the year in which
commenced the greatest era of pros
perity that the United States has yet
seen. Barring some happening of cate
clysmic proportions, we very confidently
assert that time will verify this judg-
ment The change will come about
gradually. In the latter half Of the
wear it will be quite marked and will
gather force as time passes, and will
last from seven to ten years. But for

A Creamery at an Early Date

Familiarity with the proceedings at
the sittings Of the committee having
the matter Of organizing cooperative
creamery for the Upper Wenatchee
Valley enables US to say that the
creamery is practically assured. The
method OF financing the undertaking
is worked out, as well as plan OF or
ganization. 1t will be presented to
the meeting called for Saturday, jan
uary 9.
as agreed on there will be two
classes OF stockholders, ranchers, or
owners Of COWS. and merchants or
townspeople. Shares will be worth
$50. The rancher will be asked to
pay an initial sum Of ten dollars per
share on his two shares. The balance
TO be paid by leaving five per cent OF
all monies he will receive for cream or
butter fat until the same shall amount
to $40 per share, when his two shares
will be paid up and the stock issued to
him. The stock issued to the town
people will be paid for in four equal
monthly payments Of $3.50.
This plan it is believed will make it
easy for ranchers to become stock
holders at small outlay Of money. 1t
is also proposed not to issue more than
two shares to any one stakeholder. A
method is also provided by which
those stockholders who are not COW
owners will be eliminated in time by
transferring their stock to newcomers
or other COW owners who may want to
get the benefit Of the creamery. The
business men are going into the
scheme because they believe it is a
good thing for the owners of COWS and
because they believe it is one excellent
way to develop the Upper Wenatchee
Valley. The plan also provides for
board OF seven directors. The en-
ployment OF a manager for the cream
cry will be settled later. The selec-
ton OF site and erection OF build
ing for the creamery has also been
gone into and will be laid before the
meeting on the ninth.
II the COW owners take the same in
terest that the enterprising citizens OF
Leavenworth have shown there is no
question about success. Saturday,
January 9. will show just how earnest
the ranchers are to have creamery
established here.

Miners Asesrt overproduetion Clair of Managers Is Ruse To Cut
 the Wage Scale.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March B. Claiming an over-production of coa for which there is no visible market, at present the Delaware and Hudson collieries have suspended operations throwing twelve thousand men out of employment.
 The miners are already near the point of starvation as their wage scale has not been increased since the re- cent rapid raise in the price of food stuffs as result of the European war. They believe the suspension of oper- ations to be the opening move of the mine managers to take advantage of conditions to break the power of the miners union in the eastern district In proof of this they state that many of the miners who are occupying com pany houses have been notified to va. cate at an early date.

LONDON, March 3.-The fears of the British people of shortage Of grain in the empire should the United States establish an embargo against grain being sent from that country to the warning nations of Europe has been relieved by an official bulletin just issued by the government.
 The bulletin states that sufficient wheat and grain of all kinds have been gathered from all parts of the world since hostilities began to last the United Kingdom for one year at the present rate of consumption. The grain has cost an enormous sum, but the government anticipated the pos sibility of nations from which Britain was drawing supplies being drawn in- to the conflict to the extent that the markets would be closed.

 A provision has been inserted in the general deficiency measure authoriz- ing the Alaska Railroadd engineering commission to maintain commissary and to sell supplies to the employees building the government railroads in Alaska The provision is taken to in- dicate that the engineering commis- sion will have direct charge of the construction work on the railroads, as in the case of the Panama Canal.
 The appropriations for the surveys of Dry Straits, in Southeastern Alas ka, near Wrangell, and the mouth of the Snake river, in the Seward penin- sula, have been included in the sub- stitute measure which took the place of the Rivers and Harbors bill.

WELLAND, Ont, March 3.-The Canadian soldiers who shot and kill ed the American hunters last Decem- Der near the Canadian side of the Mi agara river, have been acquitted of the charge of manslaughter. The sol. diers were patrolling the river banks as the Dominion officials had received information indicating that attempts would be made to destroy bridges and other property on the Canadian side of the line. by German sympathizers from the United States.
 The Canadian government has made restitution as far as possible to the families of the Americans who suf- fered from the vigilance oe the sol. diers. The wife of the man killed has been paid $10.000 and the other, who was wounded but is recovering, has been paid $5,000. The Americans were poaching and crossed the river in search of game. When the soldiers called to them 70 halt they tried to cross the river. but were shot before reaching shore.

BERLIN, March 3.-The British troops made desperate attempt to capture the German trenches at Ypres, but were repulsed after the most des- perate hand to hand fighting which has taken place on the western bat tie line. The British repeatedly charg- ed the German positions and effected the capture of the first line of trench es only to lose them again when re- Inducements were brought to the Germans by armoured motor cars. The losses to both sides were very heavy.
 French Attack Fails.
 Simultaneously with the attack on the German positions near Ypres by the British the French started a strong offensive movement in the Champagne country but were repulsed after two hours of desperate fighting.
 Say Russian Movement Failed.
 Advices from the eastern situation state that the Russian offensive move ment from Grodno against East Prus- sia has been checked and that it is believed the Russians are preparing to abandon all further operations in that district as the lakes will soon render an invasion of Germany from that direction impossible.
