AMERICAN ALUMINIUM CO.
INVEST IN CHELAN COUNTY
Buy -Four Claims Near Merritt Wash, -
May Decide to Build Smeiter
In the West

H. B. Smith, an old settler in the
Mason creek valley, and Carl Klein
schmidt, mining expert Of some fame
in the northwest, concluded deal
with an agent of the American Alumi-
mum Co., Of Niagara Falls, N. Y, the
largest producers Of aluminium in the
United States, for their four claims
near Merritt. Mr.. Smith, who was
here the first OF this week, says the
Aluminium company some time ago
had their agent ship one ton of ore
taken from the four claims Messrs.
Smith and Kleinschmidt owned in the
western part of the county, few miles
southwest of Merritt, from which the
company extracted 271a per cent Of
aluminium, and on the strength of this
test they acquired ownership of the
property on a substantial payment in
cash, the balance Of the purchase
money, some 100000, to be paid
out Of the earnings Of the company.
John P. Fay, of Seattle, represented
the American Aluminium Co. Assays
have been made from picked samples
OF the ore running as high as 80 per
cent. 1t is found in the form of an
oxyd in a large body of carborundum,
practically inexhaustible in quantity.
The aluminium is extracted at Niagara
Falls by what is known as the electro
lytic process. Mr.. Fay says if after
thoro examination it proves all the
company hopes for it quite likely they
will build an aluminium refining plant
somewhere in the west the first step
in which will be the installation of an
hydro electric plant.

Son of A. n. Pearson Poisoned

Word was received here yesterday
evening that the little four year old son
OF N. H. Pearson who removed
to Wenatchee to take the position Of
assistent prosecuting attorney, had
been poisoned by eating IS chloride OF
potash tablets. Chloride Of potash is
a peculiar and slow acting poison and
may take several days to disclose its
full effect. The family was moving
into the new home and in some way
the child got hold Of the tablets and
had eaten fifteen before discovery was
made.

Epidemic of Skinned Faces

If you are an observing lndivid-
ual and noticed several citizens this
week with their faces decorated with
criss- crossed court plaster, their
eyes blackened and faces bruised
in all probability you concluded they
had been in a free-for-all scrap.
You wouldn't expect a man who
had passed the meridian of life to
confess that he had been guilty Of so
undignifed, so foolish and indiscreet
an act as to engage in fight7 Well,
Marshal Teshera says he got his scars
chasing calves out of lot. He threw
a rock and it bounded back and hit
him on the cheek and forehead.
That's his story. Prof. James Nc
Daniel showed up Wednesday morning
with an awful scar on the side of his
face and court plaster covering a cash
some three inches long. He was try
ing to move a house with crowbar
and it slipped off and the end hit him on
the cheek, cutting thru to the bone.
That's how he explained his patched
up face to friends. If you hap
pened to notice Mayar's face last
Tuesday morning, the man who pre-
tends he runs the Echo, you saw an
ugly scar on his face, between the
eye and nose, covered with strips
of adhesive plaster and collodion
and smelling Of ether, his eyes
bloodshot aud bruised, you
might have thot he had had fight
with bear, but he says it all came of
splitting kindling for his wife. That's
what he says, but The balance Of
the lame, the halt, the bruised and the
blind have not reported at this writing.

THE SUTTON APPLE BOX
A WONDERFUL INVENTION
Destined to RevOIutiOnize the Boxing of
AppleS-PrOnOunCed the Best Ever
by All Who Have Seen 1t

Mr.. E S. Sutton, who with George
Deering is interested in the cultivation
and development of one of the finest
apple orchards in the upper valley has
invented an apple boxing machine that
is pronounced by all who have seen it
TO be superior, better and more con-
venient than anything yet put before
the apple growers Of the Wenatchee
valley. 1t is so simple, so perfect in
every respect, takes up less room and
is in every way convenient that it saves
time and money to every orchard
grower. It is made almost entirely Of
wood and weighs only 81 pounds. Its
locking device is simple and yet rigid
and requires less effort than any other
box. 1t has only to be seen to have
all its merits understood at glance.
There are many apple boxing machines
on the market but M. Sutton need have
no fear that his will take the lead once
its merits are understood. The price
will also be reasonable, in truth lower
than some now in use. Arrangements
have been made with the Leavenworth
Mercantile Co. TO place one on exhi-
bition for inspection by fruit growers.
Mr.. Sutton has secured patent on his
invention and will manufacture his ma
chine right here, and supply the wants
of the apple growers. The invention
came about thru his using several OF
those now in use and noting their de-
fects. The self-locking feature is one
that will appeal to all who have had
experience with other machines. Go
and see it, Mr.. Applegrower, and be
convinced that it is an improvement
on all others.

The democratic tariff law cut the
duty on hay fifty per cent, or from 81
to So a ton, which pleased Canada
she being our chief com
petitor in hay. Comparing the ten
months ended July 81, 1914, the first
ten months operation Of the demo-
cratic tariff law before the outbreak OF
the European war, with the ten months
ended July 81, 1918, with the republi-
can tariff law in operation, and the
official figures show that our imports OF
hay from Canada increased so per
cent under the democratic law; while
during the ten months ended July
1915, our imports of hay from Canada
were almost negligible because Canada
was sending all she could spare to
Europe. Recently imports of hay from
Canada have been picking up again,
nearly eight times as much coming in
during the ten months Of the fiscal
year 1916, ended April, as during the
ten months ended July 81, 1,lo15. The
close Of the present calendar year will
again find Canada engrossing gener-
GUS share OF our market for hay.

REPRESENTATIVE PALMER,
DEMOCRAT, PROTtCTIONIST
Prosperity Due to Munitions Sales Will
End With the War-Whdt
Then?

A quiet chuckle made the rounds of
the republican contingent in the house
OF representatives the other day when
it was learned that Hon. A. Mitchell
Palmer had appeared before the Ways
and Means committee to argue Tor the
restoration of a protective teriff on con-
densed milk, on the ground that the
condensed milk industry in Canada
was making serious inroads on the
American market and injuring our
domestic industry in canned milk.
When Palmer was in congress he
was member OF the Ways and Means
committee and it was while he was on
that committee that condensed milk
was put on the free list. It carried a
duty OF two cents a pound under the
republican law. During the fiscal
year 1914, nine months of which was
under the democratic tariff law, eight
times as much milk, fresh and con-
densed, came into this country as dur
ing the fiscal year 1918, when republi-
can rates were in effect. During the
fiscal year 1915 our imports Of milk in
creased $50 per cent over the 1914
figures. In each instance so per cent
of our imports came from Canada.
Palmer's own state, Pennsylvania, ranks
second in the production of milk.
But the states bordering on Canada are
the ones which feel Canadian competi-
ton most keenly. They are the New
England States and New York, North
Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Idaho,
Montana and Washington.
Dairymen and condensed milk man
ufacturers thruout the country would
be intensely interested in Palmer's ar
gument. Coming from a democrat
who has been one of the bitterest de.
nouncers Of the protective tariff policy
that ever sat in the house of represen-
tatives, an argument for protection
would be refreshing. A correspon-
dent called at the committee rooms
shortly after Palmer had delivered his
plea for protection on condensed milk,
hoping to secure copy, but he was
informed that it was a matter OF the
deepest secrecy.

MRS. ". A. BURLFIGH
AT THE SCENIC THEATER
First Political Address Ever Made Here
by WOman-Made a Good
Impression

Mrs. Bureigh faced fair sized au-
dience in the Scenic Theater last Tues
day evening among whom were thirty
odd women. But for the short notice
given of the meeting the auditorium
would have been crowded. A number
have expressed regrets over the failure
TO be advised OF the meeting.
Mr.. J. B. Adams acted as chairman
of the meeting and presented the
speaker 10 the audience with few
brief remarks. Mrs. Burleigh launched
into her subject, which was republic-
anism, and wound up with special
plea for the support Of Mr.. Roland H.
Hartley, of Everett, for governor
After referring to the history OF the
republican party, and its consistent
record, covering twenty-odd years of
protection for American workingmen
and American industries, and making
brief reference to the shifty record
of its honored democratic component.
She talked about organization
and partisanship, urging the necessity
OF organization in order TO accomplish
the political ends to which the repuo-
Iican party is committed. Partisanship
leads to organization and party unity,
without which the republican party, or
any other party, would be much like a
mob and never could accomplish
anything. She urged the women to
organize republican clubs and read and
talk politics, to the end that they might
vote knowingly and for the best inter
ests Of the country. Along with the
right to vote they are now charged with
the obligation of voting intelligently.
To be able to do this they must keep
themselves informed on public ques-
tions.
Without questioning the fitness of
any candidate for governor on the re-
publican primary ticket to be voted on
Sept. IL next, she particularly called
attention to the candidacy OF Hon.
Roland H. Hartley, of Everett, who
by education, training in the school of
life experience, the successful ad-
ministration of his private affairs since
becoming a citizen of this state, was
an ideal candidate, and at this critical
period particularly we'll equipped to
direct the affairs of the state of Wash
ington. She briefly covered the life
of her champion from the time he
went to work as a cook in Minnesota
lumber camp to the time he came to
Washington and engaged in numbering
in which he has made a marked sue
cess.
Mrs. Burleigh is an intelligent woman
an easy and fluent talker and sound
reasoner. Her address was listened to
with close attention. The more be-
cause political speech by woman
was an unusual thing in this town.

Indiana, who had counted upon Bev-

for the republican ticket, as he says he
will be, it means that his personal fol-

paigns have shown to be surprisingly
large, will be in the republican col
umn and that Indiana will be safely
republican also.

CHAPTER XIX
Marriott Faces Fate

Mark Makepiece Marriott, who fig.
ured passively in the early stages of
this narrative, was an active man OF
fifty years, whose desk was mostly
in his hat.
To be sure he paid rent for an
eight by ten office on the second floor
of the Kearsarge Building, San Fran
cisco, but he spent very little time in
it, flying in and out twenty times a
day. He was man of rapid fire &C.
ton and quick decision.
AS a result of these characteristics,
coupled with a close attention to bus
mess, he found himself on May Is, his
fiftieth birthday, worth exactly one
million, seventy five thousand dollars
and sixty five cents. He knew these
figures to be correct to a cent, be-
cause that morning his daughter Hell
en- had given him for a birthday re.
membrance a foolish little change
purse of fine leather, with his mono
gram in gold neatly fastened on the
clasp thereof.
Upon presentation he had bestow-
ed a kiss upon his daughter, thanked
her heartily, dumped his loose change
in the purse, slipped 1t in his pocket,
made his way to his office, and then
and there computed the exact amount
Of money he really had to put in that
purse.
"A million and seventy five thou
sand" he murmered as he finished
casting column of figures and laid
his pencil down. And that's enough"
he added.
Marriott brought his fist down on
the desk and glared at the door knob
five full minutes, which was a long
time for him to devote to any thought.
At the end of that time he locked his
office door. jumped in taxicab, drove
home, called his two daughters and,
to their establishment said:

the seventy-five thousand in that
