Notice to The Public

1t having come to my knowledge
that whoopingcough exists in Leaven-
worth, and that many families in which
it has developed have not reported the
fact to a physician and have taken no
precautions to prevent the spread Of
this most contagious disease, deem
it imprudent to open the public schools
on the date fixed, August 30th, unless
precautions are taken and cases re-
ported to some physician SO they can
be isolated and prevent the spread OF
the disease. J. S. Judah.
City Health Officer.

A. w. Munden, an old timer in the
Upper Wenatchee Valley, was here
this week. He came to Peshastin in
1884 and took up 140 acres near the
Wright saw mill. In 1909 he sold the
place to A. A. Hanna and since then
has made his home in Tacoma. Since
leaving here he has made two trips to
his native land, Norway. He was
there when the European war broke
out. He says the war made times in
Norway very hard and caused much
suffering.

Unusual Amount of Interest Is
Being Taken This Year
MANY MINERALS FOUND
Next Year May See Railroad Built Up
Tie lG1e-- Much Work Going On
At blewett

That Leavenworth is situated in the
heart OF district that is destined in
the not far distant future to become a
great mining center, is the belief OF
those who have taken the time to in
vestigate the different discoveries that
have been made in this section. For
that reason the Echo is devoting lit
tie space this week to that very i'm
portant industry. Not every section OF
the country is as we'll favored as this.
Within radius of fifty miles of Leav-
enworth there has been discovered ore
bearing gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead,
quicksilver, and in addition to that we
have mica deposits; marble that has
been pronounced as fine as any yet
discovered in the United States, and
something else that will probably come
as surprise to many people, pitch
blend, from which radium is extracted.
Probably in not every case has the ore
been discovered in paying quantities,
but II assays and the statements OF ex-
perts count for anything at all there
are mines in this vicinity that will pro-
duce the goods.
Meyer before has there been as
much mining activity in this district as
there is this year. At Blewett, one Of
the oldest mining camps in the state.
there is an unusual amount OF work
going on. Statistics show that over
two million dollars in gold has been
taken out in the past, so it is not sur
prise that this should be favorite spot
for mining men. From all accounts
the gold-bearing ledge was lost. That
some of the companies operating in
that section at present will again dis
cover the vein is not at all improbable.
A number of placer claims are being
worked at or near the old camp. All
Of them are making living for their
owners, some of them more than that.
The getting of capital to develop
mining properties is usually the hard
est thing to do. But once it is prov
en- that a mine can be made a pro-
ducer getting money is comparatively
easy. Mining men thruout the state
are coming to the conclusion that this
is a great mineral section and next
year will probably see more activity
than ever in this industry. Following
are reports from different camps in this
vicinity:
stamp min Installed at Biewett
Joseph Warner, who is developing
some mining claims on Niger creek,
was in town the first OF the week buy
ing supplies and attending to other
business matters. Mr.. Warner recent
ly hauled stamp mill into his proper
ties, which is now being installed, and
he expects to have the mill in opera
tion inside of a month. Mr.. Warner
is a mining man and mineralogist OF
many years experience and has helped
build up some Of the most notable
camps in the country. He is different
from most men in the mining game in
the respect that he seldom has much
10 saw about his work. A number OF
times he has been interviewed by an
Echo reporter and in almost every in
stance he wound up by saying, /
don't want you to get the idea that the
claim am developing is to be stock
selling proposition. because it isn't.

SEEK ATHENS COUPLE HERE.
Police Asked to Seek Gottlieb Wolter
and Mrs. Hennig Who Eloped.

Chief of Police 0 Hare this morning
received letter from Frank G. Chesak,
police justice at Athens, Wis, asking
that the local officials make an effort
to get some trace Of Gottlieb Wolter,
aged forty nine, and Mrs. Hennig, aged
thirty-six, who left Athens together on
the night of February goth. The WON
an has husband in Athens and it is
declared that he has trailed the man
and his wife to Kenosha Pictures of
the pair have been sent to the city to
aid the police in locating them Both
are foreigners and while it is like hunt
ing for needle in a haystack to seek
these people among the foreign colonies
IN Kenosha the police are hopeful that
they will find them. Warrants charg-
ing a statutory offense have been is
sued at Athens.

FACIENTo WANTS PAROLE.
Man Who Stabbed Sam Laconti Seeking
Release from State Prison Now.

Clerk of the circuit court B. NJ. De-
Diemar, received formal notice from
the state board of control this morning
that Luigi Faciento, a Kenosha Italian,
serving a two years sentence in the
state prison at Waupun, had applied for
parole. Faciento was sentenced No
prison in the circuit court here on
March ID 1914. He had been tried on
charges of assaulting Sam Laconti with
intent to do great bodily harm. The
arrest of Faciento followed fight in
the Laconti saloon in which the saloon
keeper had been slashed with d knife.
The appeal for a parole is to be heard
by the state board on March 10Th. It
is sad that taciehto has been model
prisoner and it is not probable that any
objections will be made by local Of
fcials against the granting of the
parole.

WANTS BATH AND HEAT.
Inspector Walsh of State Board Changes
His Mind and Goes to Poor Farm.

Inspector Walsh of the Wisconsin
State Board of Control, changed his
mind Friday afternoon and instead Of
laying over the inspection Of the Keno
sha poor farm until later in the month
he went cut late Friday afternoon.
He found a big demand for two things.
One is bath room and the other is a
suitable heating system for the poor
farm buildings. He held that the pres
ent heating system was inadequate and
that the lack of bath room facilities
was next to crime. Inspector Walsh
declared that Keeper George Meyer was
doing an excellent job of taking care
OF the paupers with the facilities
furnished him by the city. Within a
few days formal complaint on the
poor farm will be sent to the city coun-
Gil and in this recommendations for
changes will be made. 1t is probable
that the city council will find some
way to follow the recommendations.

CABBAGE FOR MARKET.
w. K. Thompson Makes Interesting Ad-
dress Before Racine Farmers.

W. E. Thompson of this county was
the principal speaker at the annual
farmers institute held at Corliss in Ra-
cine county on Friday afternoon. He
spoke on the subject, Growing Cab
bage For the Market. The speaker
is Kenosha county boy, who recently
graduated from the Department of Ag-
riculture of the University of Wiscon-
sin and he has been credited with con-
Quoting one of the most profitable cab
bage farms in this part of the state.
Mr.. Thompson spoke Of the methods
of preparing the land for planting,
the care Of the plants, harvesting,
ETC., but confined most of his remarks
to the methods of marketing. In his
opinion a new method, preferably a
cooperative association of growers,
will have to be established here some
time in the near future.
"The present system Of marketing
cabbage through the dealers has held
up pretty we'll, Y said Mr. Thompson.
3'The larger dealers are cabbage
growers. They hold up the market
for their own benefit. Personal COM
petition has entered into cabbage sell
ing lately, however, and the result is
lower margin of profits. Some think
that we need new system of mar
keting. We are growing more cab
bage and losing some Of our old mar
kets. With the advent of the new
variety of disease resisting cabbage,
we are getting old cabbage lands back
into the business. Cabbage is doing
better than potatoes on heavy lands.
4 In cooperative selling we can get
good inspection at the stations. We
can also send out statesmen to see
that our goods are handled right at
the main distributing points. These
statesmen can also work up new sell
ing fields. Then we can sell by the
carload instead of by barrels and bas-
kets. All of this can be done at a
decreased cost to the consumer.
~ doubt if it is profitable for the
farmers to ship bad cabbage to Texas.
If you do so the Texas buyers will
turn you down when the market
drops. The freight on good carload
of cabbage is the same as that on a
poor carload. The problem of crop dis
tribution is too big for one man. With
a good selling system coupled with our
new disease resisting cabbage we are
sure of good crops, good sales and good
profits in the future
