this week visiting Mrs. McKinnie and
departed for home Yesterday.
Deed H. Magyar left for Ellensburg
by way Of Seattle Thursday night to
attend the meeting of the State Press
Association and get in touch with old
friends thruout the state who will be
there.
A gas logging donkey Of 4o-horse
power was unloaded here this week for
the Leavenworth Lumber Co., shipped
from the Sound. On account of the
water supply for steam donkey around
their Mountain Home mill the gas
donkey will be tried out.
Mrs. S. Banks and son and Mrs. T.
Ford who spent several days in We
natchee passed thru here Wednesday
on their way to Seattle. They will
spend a few days on the Sound before
going to their new home in Oklahoma.
Mr.. Jack Edwards will accompany the
party to Seattle.
The fire alarm of Monday afternoon
was caused by the burning Of some
trash under what is known as the Moon
bridge, west of the depot. 1t was ex-
tinguished by the time the city fire
fighters arrived on the gound without
doing any material damrge. The cause
for the outbreak is unknown.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Mcdonald mo-
tored to this city last Sunday from
Blewett where Mr.. Mcdonald is inter
ested in the Peshastip Lumber Co.
and assistant manager. Mr.. Mcdonald
said the mill was running every day,
in fact II ID hours every day and
that it would continue to run turnout
the season unless some unforeseen
event happened.
Mr.. ]. C. Biles, president Of the
Peshastin Lumber Co., operating a saw
mill at Blewett, was here Monday and
in conversation with a reporter for this
paper said the Blewett mill was running
twelve and half hours out of every
twenty-four and everybody up that way
was busy. Making fruit boxes is one
of the principal uses to which the out
put OF the mill is put.
The forestry department has adopted
the method of bringing criminal pro-
ceedings against herders when they
trespass on range that has not been
allotted to their employer. This it is
believed will stop trespaSsing on the
national forest. Recently a herder
was fined $50 for trespassing on the
Malheur. forest in Oregon. 1t could
not be shown that the owner of the
sheep had anything to do with the
violation.
Mr.. E. H. Kohlhas and wife motored
down from the foot of Lake Wenatchee
Tuesday and spent the night here.
Mr.. K. says the single mill is running
and finds ready sale for all the shingles
the mill can turn out. 1t is quite pos
sible that by another year the capacity
of the mill will be largely increased.
Lake Wenatchee shingles sell for ten
cents per thousand more than western
Washington shingles. Eastern Wash
ington cedar is superior single. ma
terial.
F. T. Spiller, a fruit grower from
the vicinity of Peshastin was here the
first Of the week and paid the Echo
pleasant call. He said he confidently
expected good crop of apples from
his orchard this year and if reports OF
crop shortage in the eastern and
middle states prove true the price this
year should be satisfactory. Mr.. Spiller
takes a deep interest in politics, as We
think every good citizen should, and
like some more of US was greatly dis
appointed because he would not have
an opportunity TO vote for Roosevelt.
