MI. Olyue OlarK anu vile lett YeStcI-
day afternoon for Seattle. He has
been in charge OF the Curtis fruit
ranch between here and Peshastin for
the past four years. He has arranged
to go into the dairy business on the
Sound, and thinks that business offers
better returns on the investment than
anything else just now.
Mrs. w. v. Stephens had for Wis
itors this week Mrs. T. F. Roddey, of
Wenatchee, and Miss Reliance Garlic
ton, Of Seattle, who stopped off here
Wednesday on her way home from
Wenatchee to spend a day with Mrs.
Stephens, Of whom she is an old ac-
quaintance and friend. Miss Garlic
ton left for home on the afternoon
train Yesterday.
James McEvoy, a jolly son Of the
Emerald Isle who makes his home
near Peshastin and is in the employ Of
the G. N. railway, was here this week.
He is one OF some $50 who began
taking the Echo January IS, 1904.
By death and removal the number has
dwindled to about 200. Jimmy thinks
so much of the Echo that he had to
have it follow him to the "auld sod
when he visited Ireland a few years
ago.
John Peters, the head push Of the
Wenatchee Park Land Co., whose faith
er is one Of the chief promoters OF the
enterprise, was here Monday and called
at the Echo office. He said that he
expected a large addition to the Park
settlement the coming summer. The
residents Of the Park, he states are
working on that part oil the new road
by way Of the Brender canyon TO the
Park lands, which they agreed with the
county to complete, and will have same
ready for travel by spring.
S. P. Beecher, among the oldest fruit
~raisers in the Upper Wenatchee Valley,
with a fine orchard and home near Pc
shastin, was here Wednesday transact
ing bushes. Mr.. Beecher is among
those who have not lost faith in the
Wenatchee Valley. He has built more
irrigation bitches and thus helped to
bring more land under cultivation than
any man in these parts, and what is
more has faith in the apple business.
He hopes and believes the Tacoma
convention will go a long way to solve
the fruit raisers troubles.
Geo. B. Deering arrived yesterday
from Everett. He spent the winter at
his Puget Sound home and came over
to see how neal the ground he could
get that he might begin the cultiva-
ton Of his apple orchard north of town.
He says, Everett along with other
Coast cities, has been quite dull the
past winter, but there is abundant signs
Of Improvement as warmer spring comes
on, Most Of the lumber mills have re-
sumed operations and others are pre-
pairing to start so that the outlook for
the future begins to look more rosey,
and people are beginning to take a
more cheerful view OF things.
J. R. Ramsey returned Wednesday
from Prosser, Wash, where he spent
the winter with his son, Dave Ramsey,
who is engaged in the dairy business,
along with stock and hay raising. He
is doing we'll and does not think OF re-
turning to this neck OF the woods.
While away Mr.. Ramsey also visited
his son-in-law, T. G. Jarvis. who many
old timers will remember. While here
he was employed in the LID. mill.
Mr.. Jarvis is located at Glenwood,
near Goldendale, in Klickitat county,
and has been engaged in raising stock.
Mr.. Ramsey is back to look after his
ranch in the Eagle creek valley.
