Making the Other Fellow Believe What
You Do Not Want Yourself.

The caption not ineptly defines di-

In our opinion peace will not evolve
out Of Germany's shrewd, opportune
and diplomatique peace proposition.
Just now the entente powers are spar
ring for time while they prepare ful-
minating, and diplomatic reply, By
asking Germany for bill Of particulars.
Unless the bill of particulars modify the
obvious meaning Of the peace propo-
sal the war will go on indefinitely. The
German peace terms were meant quite
as much for German home consump-
tion as for perusal and reflection by the
peace-inclined, stay-at-home popula-
ton OF the allies. Some desperate
fighting will be done while the diplo-
matte sparring goes on. and the wal
will not end soon.

Passed Bogus Check Saturday-Arested
and Sentenced Monday

Tom Shannon passed bogus check
on the Leavenworth Mercantile Co. last
Saturday, Was arrested in Everett Sat
urday evening and brought back to
Leavenwor,h Sunday and tried before
Magistrate Graham on the chuge OF
petit larceny Monday and sentenced to
forty-one days in the county Jail, where
he was at once taken. Shannon, who
is a mere youth, barely twenty years
old, has been working for c. W. Hast
ings at Mason creek. He came to
Leavenworth Friday and claimed Hast
ings was oweing him about ten dollars
and says he intended that Hastings
should pay the check. He probably
heard OF sight drafts and thought he
was raising money on that kind Of fina-
ncial instrument. Anyway, the court
took a lenient view OF his offense and
let him off with light sentence.

HARD CIDER CONFISCATED
AT PASTIME POOL ROOM
Five Gallon Jugs Taken Last Week. Three
Barrels Taken Monday

On complaint of young man who
found himself in the tolls of the law
because carrying a Jag, which he said
he acquired while drinking cider at the
Pastime pool rooms, the resort was en-
tered one day last week and FIVE one
gallon demijohns full of cider was taken
ia charge by Marshal Teshera. He
sent a sample OF the cider to the
chemist of the Washington University,
who pronounced it hard cider, con-
tanning six and 28-100 per cent of al
cohol. When this advice was received
the first OF this week Marshal Teshera
went to the Pastime pool room and
took in charge three barrels OF the
same cider contained in the jugs. The
haul is now at the city hall in charge
of the marshal waiting the decision OF
the court.
1t is not believed that it was the in
tention OF Mr.. Hutchings to violate
the law. He bought the cider from
J. M. Duffy, short time ago and has
sold it openly under the impression
that he was entirely within his rights.
F. H. Hutchings plead guilty and
was fined IS and costs by Magistrate
Graham, amounting to $15.85. The
fine was placed at nominal amount
for the reason that it did not appear
that Mr.. Hutchings was wilfully violat-
ing the law in selling the hard cider.
Evidently he did not know just how
hard it was.

WASHINGTON STEEL &
IRON co. MOVING TO COAST
Plant is Being Dismantled and Will Be
Taken to Sedro WoolIey, Wash.

Mr.. o. P. Moore, secretary Of the
Washington Steel & Iron Co., and one
OF the directors OF the company, spent
Monday here, and in conversation with
a representative Of this paper said men
were at work dismantling the plant
preparatory to its removal to Sedro
Wooley, on the west coast, where the
company can get, says Mr.. Moore,
cheap iron ore. The present purpose
OF those who have the removal in
charge is to use the machinery in maks
ing pig iron.
Thus does another of Leavenworth's
hopes OF greatness vanish in thin air.
Ten years ago, when the company was
spending considerable money here, the
information was given out that Leapen-
worth would become famous as the
only place where magnetic iron ore
could be converted into the highest
grade Of tool steel. Some Of US in
dulged the hope that there might grow
up another Pittsburg. Alas, and alas.
Thus do dreams fade away like mist
before the sun.

Ordinance No. 1T, which makes a
permit necessary for the purchase oi
alcohol, was passed by council and
presented to Mayor Day for his sigma
ture. He demured and said he would
take the ten days allowed by law to
consider whether he would approve or
veto it.
The ordinance which the mayor We
toed recently, offering a reward for in
formation in bootlegging and gambling
cases, was again introduced and given
its first reading. 1t requires FIVE votes
to carry an ordinance over the Mayors
veto.
The bond Of Marshal Teshera for
$500 was accepted and filed.
The votes OF the recent city election
was canvassed and the following were
officially declared elected:
Mayor, W. L. Hale; treasurer, L.
w. Woodrow; clerk, A. R. Brown;
attorney, L. ]. Nelson.
Councilmen-First ward, w. T.
VanBrocklin; second ward, H. H. War
ner; third ward, Jas. T. Wunder; at
large, W. W. Wilder.
While the canvass Of the vote was in
progress S. A. Potter, the defeated can
didate for mayor, appeared and asked
City Attorney Nelson for information in
regard to the proper procedure in in
sttuting a contest against the successful
candidate, w. L. Hale. Altho he has
been twice defeated-in the primaries
and at the regular election-he says
his friends are not satisfied with the
results, intimating that they may ask
for a recount. If any action is taken
it may possibly result in another election
and this would mean considerable use
expense TO the city.
AS Mr.. Wilder who was elected
councilman at-large will leave the city
it will be necessary to elect a man to
fill his place. This will be one of the
first duties OF the new council.

No Noble Peace Prize This Year

Very properly the committee having
in charge the awarding OF the Nobel
peace prize has decided not to award q
peace prize, following the practice
adopted in 1918, since which time nc
prize has been awarded for promoting
the peace OF the world. For the past
two years all the prizes have gone to
those who have done most to make
war destructive, and who knows but,
unwittingly, they have done most tc
promote peace by making war so de-
structive and repulsive that the whole
world will turn its face against war.

Great Northern Lumber Company Will Be the Name Under
New Management
FROM TEN TO FIFTEEN YEARS RUN GUARANTEED
Plenty of Timber Keep Mill Running Night and DAN Logging Will
Be Done on the Railroad Newest Logging Equipment
Over 400 Men Will Be Employed

For some time it has been known
that the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. was
undergoing a reorganization preparatory
to again engage in the cutting OF lum-
Der. Mr.. Gardner, the general mana
ger for the company returned from the
east Monday. after an absence Of some
five or six weeks. He brought back the
information that the reorganization was
effected and that Mr.. Lafayette Lamb
retires from the management and the
company. Also the Echo is authorized
to state that financial arrangements have
been entered into whereby the mill will
be able to run not less than ten and pro-
badly fifteen years, beginning as early
in the spring as weather conditions will
permit and running continuously, night
and day, thru the summer, until COM
PEELED to shut down in the fall. After
a careful survey OF the timber and
stumpage by competent and reliable
timber estimaters the company is as
sured of an ample supply of logs for the
period indicated above. In truth, the
timber holdings of the company aprox-
innate six hundred million million feet,
in addition to which options are held,
and others being acquired, which will
materially increase the stumpage, so
that the company feels there is no need
to aprehend a shortage of logs. Be-
cause it has been decided to do all the
logging on the railroad logging opera

ton can not begin until some contem-
plated improvements in the road and
its equipment is made. At least two
additional engines will be purchased,
and the plans call for seventy additional
logging cars. Also there will be a
boarding train OF some ten 40 and so
foot cars, fully equipped with all mod
ern convenienceS and steam heated
thruout.
Jas. S. Quigley, formerly with the
Florence Lumber Co., at Florence,
Wash, will have charge Of the logging
operations Of the company. His years
of experience in wrestling with logs in
the state OF Washington it is believed
qualify him for the job he has nnder-
taken. Mr.. Geo. L. Gardner is con-
tinued as general manager. He says
under the new ownership and plans Of
operation the company will employ in
the mill and its other activities upwards
of 400 men.
With no entangling alliances, all its
energies devoted to making and selling
lumber there is every reason for believ
ing that the Great Northern Lumber Co.
is about to enter on an extensive era
OF operation. With an encouraging
financial outlook, the prospect of a
large demand for lumber at remunerat-
i've prices there is no apparent reason
why the big mill should not earn pro-
fit for its owners.

Mayor Day protested against the
payment of the bill of F. A. Reynolds
on the ground that he had not been
consulted when Mr.. Reynolds was
deputized, by Marshal Teshera, to help
make the seizures Of hard cider at the

the bill but the mayor may still refuse
to sign the warrant.

was also suggested that police powers
be conferred on Water Commissioner

To whom it may concern:-Whereas
the infectious disease rabies, or hydro
phobia, has appeared in this state and
is spreading with alarming rapidity,
proper safe guarding OF the lives OF the
public demands that every effort be
made to Immediately check the pro-
gress OF the dread disease, fatal alike
