the proper size for the herd. The silo
should be OF such diameter that the
herd will consume each day layer Of
silage two inches in depth. In sum-
mer feeding it is often necessary to use
three inches il. depth per day. Where
silo Of two large diameter is used the
silage is not fed fast enough to keep it
fresh, consequently the air penetrates

inches and spoiled silage is being fed
all the time.
The following table shows the size Of

THAT RAILROAD SURVEY
UP THE ICICLE RIVER
Story Sent Out from Wenatchee May Be
Premature But is Almost
Sure to MateriaIize

This is not the first time the people
OF Leavenworth had to go away from
home to learn the news. 1t will be re-
called that The Echo made some refer
ence to the probability of railroad be-
ing built up the Icicle river canyon in
January last. The plans were then un-
der consideration and being matured.
No reference has since been made to
the matter for the reason that We want
ed definite, positive assurance that the
project would be undertaken before
making the announcement. 1t has
always been the policy Of this paper to
avoid making misleading statements
and peddling hot air to its readers. 1t
is enough at this time to say that the
survey OF railroad up the Icicle river
from Leavenworth has not yet begun.
Tho it may begin any day. We hope
to make definite announcement next
week as to when it will begin and II at
all, such other information as will be Of
interest to readers OF this paper.
The probability OF the building Of
the road rests on the existence OF a
valuable body Of ore, principally copper
bearing, on which between fifty and
one hundred thousand dollars worth Of
development work has been done in
the past twenty-odd years by AL Van
Epps. So much exploration work has
been done on the property that it is
practical at this time for mining ex-
pert to determine the amount OF ore
that can be taken out, and by assay de-
termine the value per ton. So that it
only remains to be determined that the
value above the cost of mining, trans
portation and smelling leaves margin
of profit large enough to attract capital,
and we understand the result has been
quite satisfactory. With the high price
of metal, which promises to continue
for years, there seems to be sound
reason for believing that the Van Epps
property will come into the producing
class in a short time.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
LEAvfNWORTH'S SCHOOL
Every Seat in Scenic Theatre Occupied
Two Hundred Failed to Get In
Excellent Program

The commencement exercises OF the
Leavenworth High School, which were
held last Friday evening in the Scenic
theatre, showed the keen interest that
is taken in the mental development oi
our rising generation. A few minutes
after the doors were opened both the
seating and standing capacity of the
theatre was entirely filled, so much so
that many who were desirous of being
present had to 60 away disappointed.
The salutatory. "Our School," was
we'll rendered by Gladys West, and
showed a mind that will be capable Of
greater achievements thru the various
stages Of life.
The valedictory fell to the lot Of
Donald Mcintosh, who chose for his
theme, Our Wars" In a clear and
concise manner he led his audience
on thru our wars with England, down
thru the civil war, thence to Manila
Bay, ending by reminding his hearers
that the position Of the stars and stripes
floating over an unbeaten field, might
some day in the near future become
untenable unless better provision was
made for their protection.
An eloquent and stirring address was
given by Professor Wellington Pegg,
of Wenatchee, on the reconstruction Of
the present physical, moral and social
destruction Of the world, pointing out
to the students that on their shoulders
is to fall the responsibility Of that re-
construction which is going to place
the world on a solid highway and per-
manent peace and prosperity, or to put
it on a plane that would lead to a
moral and social chaos such as the
world experienced in the dark ages.
All of those who took part in the
program showed that the years of study
had not been lost on them.
The high school chorus, quartet,
and several songs rendered by the
pupils were highly appreciated.
At the close Mr.. Motteler, president
OF the school board. in a few appropri-
ate remarks presented the pupils with
their diplomas.

Judge Clifford, OF Tacoma, rendered
an important decision last week in the
case OF barber shop which was pick
eted by the BARRIERS Union for hiring
non-union men. The court granted
an injunction against the union pick
cts, restraining them from all offensive
acts against the shop, and allowed
nominal damages to the proprietor OF
the shop, taxing the costs OF the suit
against the union. The case is of
especial interest because the statewide
antipicketing law is to be voted on in
November. Judge Clifford's decision
is in accord with the spirit OF that law,
altho the court relied entirely on the
general principle that the union pick
cts were illegally damaging the prop
erty, regardless of any statute in the
matter.

where blind pigs are hourishing in
every other drug store. The irepress-
ible Hi Gill is doing more toward en-
forcing the dry law than any man in
the state, altho he admits that he
voted against it. Its the law now,"
and so long as its up to me to enforce
it there wont be any half way enforce
ment." Hence he wants an ordinance
that will make it illegal to buy liquor
from blind pig. The purchaser can
be arrested, and punished, or COM
PEELED to testify against the party he
bought from. The present difficulty
in enforcing the law here is that the
drinkers have no respect for it, and
will not tell where they get their bot
ties. Drunkenness is on the increase
but anesting the unfortunates and
keeping them in Jail to sober up
doesn't even give a clew as to where
they secure the liquor, nor does it help
in the difficult job Of coDvicting the
sellers.

 Manufacturing business was con- centrating nearer the center, and the shops and stores of East treet were closed.
 In eighteen hundred and twenty and eighteen hundred and twenty-one
 occurred one of the most remarkable revivak New Britain ever experienced. It had an effect on the whole commu- nifty, especially the business men and wealthy families. A new meeting house was, erected on the corner of North Main and East Main streets.
 In eighteen hundred and twenty there were less than twenty houses on Main street, south of Dublin Hill. In eighteen hundred and twenty eight there were three meeting houses, a post office, two stores, and an academy, all located on or near Main street, and all erected within six years.
 In the latter part of this decade, (eighteen hundred and thirty), and in the first part of the next, a new inn pulse was given to manufacturing in New Britain; larger buildings were erected; other improvements were made, and the parish was becoming somewhat noted for it's enterprises and thrift.

WOMEN'S STOMACH TROUBLES
The Great Woman's Medi- cine Often Just What
 Is Needed.

We are so used to thinking of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as a remedy exclusively for female ills that we are apt to overlook the fact that it is one of the best remedies for disorders of the stomach.
 For stomach trouble of women it is especially adapted, as it works in com plete harmony with the female organ ism, since it contains the extracts of the best tonic roots and herbs. It tones up the digestive system, and increases the appetite and strength. Here is what one woman writes showing what this medicine does :-
 Newfeld, N. Y.-"I am so pleased to say can recommend Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound as an eco- nomical and beneficial remedy in most ailments pertaining to women. At least l found it so by only taking two bottles. I had indigestion in a bad form and I am now feeling in the best of health and owe it all to Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "- Mrs. BURR WILLIAMS, R.D. No. 29, New. field, NY.
 Many women suffer from that "ail gone feeling" and "feel so faint ' while doing their work. Ten chances to one their digestive system is all out of order. A tablespoonful of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after each meal should completely remedy this condition in few days.

TIRED LOOKING WOMEN

Some women always wear worn, tired look. It is the outward sign of nervousness, neurasthenia perhaps, with it's characteristic symptoms of worry, headaches and sleeplessness.
 Overwork, grief, undue excitement, the late hours and nervous strain of a strenuous social season, lack of out-of- door exercise, any or all of these may be responsible for the trouble but the most common cause at this season of the year is the grip.
 Whatever the cause, if you feel tho need of more strength try the great non alcoholic tonic, Dr. Williams Pink Pills. As the nerves get their nourish- ment from the blood the treatment must be directed toward building up the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills act directly on the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neu- rasthenic patients, is also corrected by these tonic pills. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills or. they will be sent by mail on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes $2. 50.

The first horse power had been intro duced in the same shop. The increase in manufacturing business from eighteen hundred and thirty to eighteen hundred and thirty seven re- suited in an increase of dwelling houses and various shops and stores, and some increase in population. The financial depression which was felt so disastrously in many parts of the country in eighteen hundred and thirty-seven paralyzed a large portion of the, business of New Britain. Sey- eral shops were closed, large losses were experienced and for a few years the growth of the place was checked
 The growth, resulting largely from the increase in manufacturing busiA ness, was much more rapid during this decade, eighteen hundred and for ty to eighteen hundred and fifty than ever before.
 The population of the society of New Britain which was less than three hundred in seventeen hundred and fifty-four, had increased to nine hum dred and forty-six in eighteen hum dred, to nine hundred and eighty-two in eighteen hundred and ten, to a lit lte more than one thousand in eigh- teen hundred and twenty, and to three thousand twenty mine in eigh- teen hundred and fifty, when the soci7 ety was incorporated as a town.

abroad, than they could be manu- factured for, here.
 The events and changes which oc- cured in New Britain between 1920 and 1880 were the events that were to shape ard greatly influence the future of that city. Stanley Quarter had been annexed to New Britain and many of the leading citizens of New Britain lived there; many different lines of manufacturing were started, some were successful others unsuc- cessful. Prominent among the suc- cessful ones were the brass foun- dries, and these are still prominent to- day, for New Britain men have been alert and have clearly seen that they must change their line of products from time to time, to succeed in bus mess. The first foundries made can- dlesticks, andirons and other colonial necessities but changed their line of goods as soon as household necessities changed.
 During this decade also, bead-work, tanning, cutlery manufacturing and many other lines of industry (soon) were started, which because of the fore-thought Of New Britain business men quickly grew in size, and drew many people to the little parish. In this way New. Britain grew so rapid ly that in 1850 it was incorporated as a town.
 Thus because of the alertness and energy of it's citizens, as well as it's natural resources, New Britain in g. comparatively few years grew from a small village of a few houses, to, a city, fifth in prominence in the state of Connecticut.
