THE LOCAL CREAMERY
INCREASING OUTPUT
Cream Deliveries Rapidly Growing in
VOlume-RepOrt of Directors
Show Condition Sound

Manager Van Brocklin stated to a
reporter for the Echo this week that
the cream deliveries had increased in
the past few weeks and that at present
the weekly deliveries now run over
forty every week, while the weekly out
put OF butter amounts to between
twelve and fifteen hundred pounds.
Because some Of the Leavenworth mer-
chants are not using the home butter,
and pushing butter shipt in from the
outside on which there is about two
cents per pound more profit to the
retailer, the home market is not con-
suming all the creamery's output.
There is no question that the butter
made here is superior and always fresh,
and ought to have the preference with
the consumer. The directors recently
had meeting and went over the busi-
ness done the past year, the first since
the creamery was established, and
found it in sound financial condition
The first eight months run showed
that IS, ,742.5o had been paid to the
ranchers for cream, and that 81, ,355.64
worth of butter had been sold in the
same period. The investigation also
showed a net gain over cost OF opera
ton of upwards Of $400.
1t is confidently believed that this
years business will double last years
output for the same period OF time.
Under Mr.. Van Brocklin's management
the creamery has made steady progress
and the quality Of butter turned out
compares with the best that comes to
this market. Cream deliveries are in
creasing every month. For a short
period of time the past winter when, on
account Of the deep snow it was i'm
possible for the ranchers to make
prompt deliveries of cream, there was
some complaint about the butter mot
being firstclass, but this was due to the
fact that it was impossible to deliver
cream every week and it became stale
and impaired the quality Of the butter
The cream was accepted by the man.
ager to help the COW owners out, well
knowing the result, but thought it his
duty to help them out under adverse
and unavoidable difficulties. meet
ing of the stockholders will be held to-
morrow evening at the creamery for the
purpose Of electing new board Of
directors.

The Typhoid Fever Situation

So far only three cases have devel-
oped since the first outbreak. Paul
Weigand who is in the Leavenworth
Hospital is making satisfactory progress
toward recovery. Ross Irwin is in the
first stages but not considered in dan
ger. Mr.. Beers, the civil engineer
who was brot down from the construc-
ton camp up the canyon is not con-
sidered in danger. Beers and Wei
gand are at the Leavenworth Hospital
while Mr.. Irwin is at his home. DIR.
Judah says he is at a loss to account
for the outbreak of typhoid and has
sent Wenatchee river water to the
state psychological expert who pro-
nounced it neutral He has also sent
water from wells and other sources of
water supply but up to going to press
had not received an analysis.

Engineer MCGinn Well wn---fireman
Dempsey Formerly Lived Here

Last Saturday, when Great Northern

derailing the engine which plunged
headlong into the Kootenai river, it
carried with it engineer H. A. McGinn

TWO CONVENTIONS MEET IN CHICAGO

According to announcement the Republican and
Progressive Republican conventions met Wednesday in
Chicago Beyond the formality of routine, efectng
temporary organization, electng temporary chairman
and appointing committees platform and resolutions,
nothing of importance done the first day.
Temporary Chairman Harding's opening speech in
the republican convention Wednesday followed
by slight demonstration. Not in the Progressive
convention. When Temporary Chairman Raymond
Robbins first mentioned the Of Theodore Roose-
velt in his opening speech, shortly after beginning,
demonstration occurred that lasted hour and thirty
three minutes which is said to be the longest record
Every man was on his feet wildly cheering for Roose-
velt and only for the intervention OF cooler heads Roose
welt would have been nominated then and there Both
conventions adjourned to Thursday to allow the commit
tees from the conventions to meet in endeavor to
bring about some kind of harmonious action From the
latest information obtainable yesterday nothing definite
was arrived at and both conventions adjourned without
action until today when it is believed both conventions
will act The progressives have the easier job. But
one man is thought Of and the is the platform.
They might so far platform is concerned 60 before
the country with their nominee The republicans have
more difficult ob There are some eight avorite sons,
each with delegation behind him; besides Hughes and
Roosevelt each of whom have votes in of any
favore son. Hughes is in the lead, however. Accord
ing to the latest teegraphc yesterday Hughes fol-
lowers were claiming his nomination the second or
third ballot
The Echo makes this prediction: If the republicans
fail to reach nomination today the progressves will
meet tomorrow morning Saturday, nominate Roose-
velt without further effort get together and adjourn
This would of course throw bomb into the republican
convention, which is almost to then nominate
Hughes before the wise ones have time consider the
effect Mr. Hughes is certain to refuse the nomination.
What then?
