WANTS UNITED STATES
TROOPS OUT OF MEXICO
Yesterdays News Dispatches Indicate an
Early Rupture With the U. S.A.

That bewhiskered old poppingdoodle
who has vainly been trying to pacify
Mexico for the last two years, notified
your Uncle Samuel Yesterday that he
wanted him to get his troops out OF
Mexico. OF course he wont 60 until
he gets good and ready, and the clash
that will embroil US in war with Mexico
is not far off.
1t now looks as if the story about
the death OF Villa was inspired by Ca
ranza sympathisers as ruse to get U.
S. troops out Of the country. Caranza
says if Villa is still alive his troops are
able to cope with him. What coping
has been done so far was done by good
American troopers, wherefore the
Washington government has little faith
in Caranza's clustering promises.

North Side Road Open

Road Overseer Charley Fox was in
town one day this week and said he
had a crew of men working on the
north side Peshastin road Monday and
Tuesday and got the road in good
shape for travel, and that autos had
since been coming from the lower val
ley by that route. He also said that as
soon as the water in Chumstick creek
receded, which would only be few
days, work on that road would begin
and the bridges and washouts repaired.
By the last of this week, or not later
than the first OF next week nearly all
the roads leading into Leavenworth
would be in shape for travel by wagons
and autos.

HON. A. J. WILSON OF
SPOKANE FOR CONGRESS
A Hard Headed, Successful Business Man
With a Constructive Repub-
IiCan Policy

Mr.. Wilson, who has made his home
in Spokane for years, is one of the sue
cessful business men OF the Falls City
and lifelong republican. His con-
nection with the numbering business
the chief industry of the state-should
be an asset in his candidacy, as upon
statewide prosperity in the numbering
industry hinges our prosperity. He is
thoro believer in the republican poll
cy of protection for American industry,
and believes the tariff is responsible
for the difference in workingmen's
wages here and in Europe. He is in
favor of a strictly non partisan tariff
commission composed OF men who
thoroly understand the conditions in
this country as well as the conditions
in foreign countries relative to labor
and manufacturing. One of his plain

II elected member Of congress
from this district it shall be my highest
ambition TO assist in restoring pros
perity, security and contentment to the
people of the nation and the state, thru
protection to American industries, and
to foster the fullest preparedness against
the disasters Of invasion, either military
or commercial"
I trust the voters OF these eight
counties realize, as I do, that in order
to elect any republican TO congress
from this district, all past factional diff
ferences must be healed, and all mem
bers of party, mindful of its tri-
jumps and its achievements during the
past fifty years, become completely re-
united and welded into one harmonious
whole. Any other course means con-
tinuation of democratic rule and busi-
ness depression.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

There was regular meeting of the
city council Tuesday evening. -Four
members, Featherstone, Hale, Kugel-
man and Snyder, with Mayor Day and
City Attorney Nelson, were in attend
ance.
Bills totalling $4,000 were allowed
and ordered paid.
The refusal by the State Bank to
cash the $500 warrant drawn in favor
of w. F. Whitney, attorney in pro-
posed suit against Seaman & Quigg,
was the first matter brought to the at
tention of the council and its discus
sion occupied the better part of the
evening. 1t was finally decided that
the proper solution of the matter was
to issue a warrant on the current ex-
peuse fund to take up the $500 water
warrant. The current expense fund
will be reimbursed whenever there is
sufficient money in the water fund to
do so.
An ordinance granting additional use
of streets by the Wenatchee Valley
& Northern Railway Co., was given its
first reading.
P. H. Graham was appointed police
Judge by the mayor and council ap-
proved the appointment. The Office
now carries a salary Of $25 per month.
On motion committee of three was
appointed to confer with the bank in
regard to the city's finances-Hale,
Kugelman and Snyder. Treasurer
Woodrow will act in conjunction with
the committee.
Next week, April II to d., was des-
ignated as Cleanup Week" and all
persons are instructed to clean up their
yards, and all garbage in and around
their premises, and have the stuff taken
to the garbage dump.
Street Commissioner Tolbert was in
structed to hire a man to clean up
and take care Of the garbage grounds.
This wound up the business OF the
evening and council adjourned.

County Road Repairing

Road Supervisor Tom Parrish drove
up in his car Monday from Cashmere
and informed The Echo that while
vehicles could get over the north side
road at the present writing, the travel
ing conditions were by no means first
class. He has two crews at work i'm
proving this route between here and
Peshastin, but the clay formation makes
progress slow and difficult while the
ground contains such a great quantity
OF water. Two crews are also busy on
bridge work and road filing near the
Tom Henry ranch at Dryden.
If the clear, warm and windy weather
continues until next Monday a number
Of men will be employed on the Chum-
stick where eight bridges have been
destroyed and the road in several places
washed out. Just now the creek is
overhowed to such an extent that repair
work is impracticable. 1t is hoped
that within ten days this route will be
in fair shape for travel.
The southside road to Peshastin viii
not be open for ten days or possibly
longer,

CIean-Up Week, April 17-22

At the regular meeting Tuesday
night the council designated the week
ending with Saturday, April Do, as
cleanup week. The past has been a
long, dreary winter and there was an
unusual accumulation OF rubbish Of one
kind and another, much of it menace
to health and all of it unsightly. Now
let every householder take the admoni-
ton to clean up seriously and earnestly
to heart. Trim up the trees and shrub
berry, rake the tin cans, rags and all
other refuse and rubbish in heaps and
have it hauled out to the citv's dump
ing ground. A clean town is an attrac-
tive town. If the disease-breeding
refuse is cleaned up it will promote the
general health. Every advantage is on
the side Of cleaning up. Let it not be
told in Gath that there is a Stacker in
this respect.
Every householder must clean up
between his lot line and the center OF
the alley, and the street from his LOT
lot line to the center of the street and
have the rubbish hauled to the dump
ing ground. Those failing to do so
will be prosecuted under the ordinance
providing penalty for maintaining a
nuisance. IS

Coming Summer-SnOw Sheds, Re-
laying Steel and SidingS

According to reports given the press
the past week the Great Northern rail
way will spend a huge amount OF
money the coming summer in better
terments. Snow sheds in the Cascades
at the points where the past winter
made it evident they were needed,
will come in for the largest amount,
which is estimated at upwards OF two
million dollars. Twenty-three miles OF
track between Leavenworth and We
natchee is to be replaced with 100
pound steel. The company is now en-
gagged in laying heavy rails between
Lowell and Monroe. west Of the Cas-
cades.
Because tonnage patronage is in
creasing so rapidly with the Great
Northern the company is increasing
the capacity of its storage yards in
Delta. This contracts, said to be Of a
rush" nature, owing to the exigen-
cies Of the case, means the laying OF
10000 feet of additional trackage in
four tracks, each 5000 feet in length.
Work is progressing on the laying OF
an extra six miles Of storage tracks at
the Gold Bar terminal, and this point
is expected to be used for terminal
purposes next month.
The work contemplated and under
progress involves wholesale repairs to
the big tunnel thru the mountain sum-
nit, the construction Of four long ad~
ditional tracks in the Delta yards, the
completion of the tunnel lining under
Everett, relaying steel rails, the COM
pletion OF increased facilities for the
Gold Bar terminal and the building Of
snowsheds.
Here and there thru the long bore
inconsiderable damage has resulted the
past winter owing to the earth's action,
and unless repaired at this time the
damage might grow to dangerous pro-
portions. Grant Smith & Co., have
also been awarded a contract by the
Great Northern to place 10000, 900
feet of timbers for snowsheds, while
Henry McPhee, of Seattle, is given the
work OF constructing combination rear
walls. 1t is said 1900 men will be
employed on these three jobs in the
Cascades this summer.
The snow shed work will begin a
half mile west of Leavenworth near
where four men were killed in Febru-
ary, and every place protected with
sheds where the past winter the slides
indicated they were necessary to pro-
tect the operation Of trains. A num-
Der OF new sheds will be constructed
between Leavenworth and Chiwaukum,
and at a number of other points be-
tween here and the summit.

CHELAN co. SCHOOLS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING
Interest in the Work and Continuous At
tendance Praised by State
Superintendent

OF the 287 graduates Of the rural
and smaller city grammar schools in
Chelan county none are loa6ng, accord
ing to the educational and vocational
survey of the eighth grade graduates
being made by State Superintendent
Of Public Instruction Preston. The
others are reported as engaged in some
trade, attending school, or helping
with the house or farm work at home.
This is a splendid record" said
Mrs. Preston. THE boys and girls
who are busy are seldom met with in
police courts or corrective institutions.
am very much interested in helping
the seven boys and eighteen girls of
Chelan county who remain at home as
sisting their parents. I have received
letters from girls in Chelan and other
counties saying that their mothers are
i'll, in some cases dead, and that they
are keeping house and taking care Of
their families. Often the boys write
that they are helping their fathers with
the farm work so the younger men,
bers of the families may have proper
food and clothing while attending
school. Our state educational system
should take care of these boys and
girls, who are following the hard path
OF duty. helping with the house or
farm work rather than continuing in
school.
II conditions are such that they can
not attend high school they should
take advantage Of the opportunities Of
fered by the University of Washington
and Washington State College for cor
respondence courses, which will give
them a fairly broad education at home.
The state and federal departmental bull
letins are Of great value for home
study. I am writing a personal letter
to each OF these boys and girls who
stay at home, advising them about ad-
vanced education and, within few
weeks, I shall publish a bulletin giving
a list OF the means they may take to
obtain such an education, even tho it
is impossible to attend high school or
college"
Seventy-eight per cent of the Chelan
county eighth grade graduates have
continued their education in the high
school. This is the highest percent
age Of the five counties from which
statistics have been compiled at this
time.
Farming claims most Of the gradu-
ates who neither continue in school or
are employed at home. Five are en-
gagged in that work. One is employed
as a domestic servant, one in a factory
and one as laborer. Two have
moved from the state and no record
has yet been turned in for l6.
This survey will not only enable the
department of education to reach the
BOYS and girsl who drop out Of school
after completing grammar school, but
the statistics as to the occupations en-
teren by them will make possible or
ganization of vocational training Of
most benefit to the largest number of
students.
