Shall the City Bring Suit Against
Contractors!

Whether the city shall bring suit
against Seaman & Quigg and the mem
bers of the city council that apent some
twenty odd thousand dollars above what
was authorized to build the city's water
works, is one Of the questions that will
confront the new council in January.
The old council was undoubtedly
right in refusing at the last meeting to
engage counsel to bring the suit. With
in a few weeks Of its outgoing it would
have been highly improper for it to
have loaded on the incoming council
responsibility that the referendum vote
showed properly devolved on the new
council.
Two members OF the old council
favored bringing suit at once. The
balance of the members were opposed
to assuming the responsibility and re-
fened the question back to the voters.
The new council was authorized by
vote to institute suit and in all proba-
bility will carry out the wishes Of the
voters, even tho the doing so may cost
the city three thousand dollars to fad
out it has no case on which to rest a
Judgment.

A Merry Christmas to You!

Here we are again, on the very
Threshold of another Christmas. and
because this is the last opportunity we
will have we wish every reader Of The
Echo very merry and joyful observ-
ance of the day.
For ourselves the day has some
what different significance than it had
fifty years ago. We also note that as
our years accumulate Christmas seems
to come oftener. The three weeks
they used to tell US until Christmas"
dragged with leaden feet, whereas
now we scarcely get half the things
done we planned to do, so fast does
the time fly. The three weeks to
come was full OF mystery and expecta-
ton. Time has clarified the mystery
and dulled expectation. And yet,
somehow, life for us has lost none OF
its charm. The sunshine is just as
bright and glorious, as when we chased
the butterfly with blue backed Webster
spelling book under our arm on the
way to school. The flowers are just as
bright and fragrant as they were that
April morning when we accompanied a
little yellow-haired girl out in the clover
field after flowers to decorate her birth
day feast. The sound Of the Christmas
bell falls on the ear with the same
pleasing, solemn sensation as Of yore.
The hilarious Joy Of receiving has given
way to the serene pleasure Of giving at
Christmas time.
And so we say, the outlook on life it
at this approaching Chriatmas time, if
differs from that Of earlier years, is not
one whit less cheerful and pleasing.
There is more good than evil; more
10y than sorrow; more pleasure than
suffering in this old, old world.
OF the future2 Well, when the
final summons comes, as come it will,
to all of US, we shall meet it with a
smile Of confidence, Just as our never
to-be forgotten mother met her last
summons, feeling that we have not
lived altogether in vain.
Again, Merry Christmas to you.

Settle the Phone Trouble With PeshaStin

Just what is necessary to adjust the
telephone troubles between Leaven-
worth and our neighboring town OF Pc
shastin, we have not yet determined.
That settlement satisfactory to the
people of Peshastin would benefit our
merchants there is no doubt. In a
direct line the distance between Leav-
enworth and Peshastin is scarcely three
miles. Because of this short distance,
the banking facilities OF Leavenworth
and the market for the sale Of their pro-
duce, the business and social relations
OF the two communities have grown
quite intimate. There are number
OF other reasons why the people OF Pc
shastin would like to continue business
relations with US provided the con-
veniences are on an equality with Cash
mere and Wenatchee, which are dis
tant from them eight and eighteen
miles. It is not alone the toll charge
Of ten cents every time they want to
communicate with Leavenworth, but it
is the delay of from ten minutes to an
hour every time they want to get in
telephone connection with Leavenworth
that is so annoying. Over the Farmers
phone line, which terminates at Peshas-
tin, they are in direct connection with
Wenatchee and Cashmere at all times,
with no extra toll charge. Telephone
connection is not convenience, it is a
necessity, and if the trouble complained
Of by the people of Peshastin is not
remedied, Leavenworth business and
professional men stand to lose. Bust
ness and professional relations once
broken off may be difficult to reunite.
1t is up to somebody to get busy and
remove the cause of friction.

There is movement on foot to
establish a rural route between Leaven-
worth and Plain. Such a movement
should receive the encouragement oil
every business man in Leavenworth.
The Wenatchee Park country is rapidly
filing up with a class of citizens that
make tilling the soil their chief occu-
patton. They are thrifty, hard work
ing people, those Dunkards, and Leav-
enworth is their trading and railroad

The particular line of activity which
is receiving the greatest attention and
encouragement in Washington just now
is the dairy industry. In the past year
some seventy-fve new buttermaking
plants were established in Washington.
The evidence Of prosperity wherever
dairying was carried on could not be
overlooked.

Reflections on Washington Weather

After a residence in this section Of
thirteen years we assert that so far this
has been the most extraordinary season
we can call to mind. The snow fall
has been unusually heavy, exceeding
by more than four times the precipita-
ton OF any previous year to date. In
another respect it differs from past ex-
perience. At no time, so far, has the
thermometer come closer than eighteen
degrees OF zero, and remained there
