Kirby of Cashmere writes Marshall
Teshera, to know if he can learn the
whereabouts OF her son Billy, II years
Of age who has been missing from home

plexion, with dark hair and eyes.

HEAVY LUMBER TRUCKS
MAKE ROAD IMPASSIBLE
Something Must Be Done to Put Blewett
Road In Better Condition Else 1t
will Be DisCredited

The Wenatchee World was quite
right in calling attention to the con-
dition of the Blewett road between the
saw mill and Peshastin. We have fire.
quently had our attention called to the
almost impossible condition, due to the
ruts and dust. This condition is brought
about by the heavy lumber and log
ging trucks OF the Peshastin Lumber
Co., that pass over the road dozens of
times each day. The World Of Mon
day states the case clearly as follows:
Travellers who went over the Blew
ett Pass road yesterday or who went to
the foot OF the hill tell OF the fearful
condition of the road, particularly be-
tween the two mills. These have been
cut up by the logging teams until they
are well-nigh impossible. They are
full Of chuck holes and the dust is very
It is recited that if the
county doesn't take immediate action
that the travel over the pass is going
to be very materially curtailed. Trav-
elers are not going to have to undergo
the travel over such a stretch OF road
as the lower valley even for the pleas
ure of the beautiful trip over the Blew
EFT pass. This is vital question to
the county and should be up to the
county commissioners to remedy. The
road must be sprinkled daily by some
one, either by the county or by the
joint action of the county and the mill
companies. With so much money
spent on the Blewett pass road, Chelan
county cannot afford to allow the road
leading to the summit to remain in
such poor condition.

YAKIMA PARTY HAD
AUTOSMASH UP SUNDAY
Big New fiupmObiIe Goes into the Ditch
On the Smith HiIl-TwO of the
Party Received Painful Injuries
Had Narrow Escape.

Four Yakima men driving a 1917
Hupmoblle had narrow escape Sunday
noon on the Smith Hill, FIVE miles be
low this city when their car crashed in
to the side OF the hill and turned {
complete somer sault. Those in the
party were R. S. Lewis of the Valley
/ Rubber Co. ]. H. Biehn of the same
company, Charley Gustopson, book
keeper with the Rovig Lbr Co. Tony
Jennings book keeper at Commercial
Hotel.
From all accounts the car was travel
ing at a speed of from so to IS miles
an hour when the accident occurred.
None in the party were familiar with
the road and therefore did not observe
the sharp turn until thev reached the
brow OF the hill.
Mr.. Biehn who was in the front seat
with Mr.. Lewis the driver and owner Of
the car, decided there was only one
thing to do, so he pulled back on the
emergency brake with all his might.
This caused the machine to swing
cross way OF the road and then turn over.
The car was still travelling at high
rate of speed when the smash up came
and it is fortunate for all in the party
that no one was killed.
Automobile drivers say that it would
have been almost impossible for MIR.
Lewis to have made the turn and kept
the car in the road, and if he had failed
to do so it would have meant going
over an embankment Of fifty or sixty
feet, and the results would probably
have been different.
All in the party suffered minor bruises,
Charley Gustopson and Tony Jennings
however Jared the worst, both had bad
scalp wounds and received other cuts
about the body.
DR.. Snyder and J. l. Magyar driving
N. B. Days car appeared on the scene
a few minutes after the accident and
brought the injured to this city for
medical attention.
The car, a 1917 Hupmobile was
badly demolished and will require
several hundred dollars to put it in
shape again.

RED CROSS DOLLAR
MAY SAVE A LIFE
Soldier Rescued from Death Tells of the
Good, Contributions Will DO-Every
One Should Help

Il wouldn't be here if it wasn't for
the Red Cross
That is what Freeman Armstrong, a
Portland boy, told his mother, when he
hobbled back from the European war
the other day.
Wounded in the battle Of Ypres, he
lay d hours unconscious on No Mans
Land. The dead were scattered all
about him. Red Cross stretcher bearers
found him, risking their own lives to
save his, for their neutrality was not be-
ing respected and they were being
fred upon. A Red Cross ambulance
hurried him to the rear. where he was
nursed back to strength by Red Cross
physicians and nurses. He still has a
splinter OF steel imbedded in his skull.
Part Of his left foot was torn away and
he walks with cane, while internal in
iuries cause him severe pain.
II say, God bless the Red Cross"
calculated Armstrong. 1t saved my
life. It is saving the lives of thou
sands Of other men on the battle front
If people who can't fight will give
their money to the Red Cross they will
either be saving men to fight again or
to return to their h,mes."
Armstrong enlisted with the Canadian
Scottish volunteers. He was wounded
in the second battle OF Ypres, again in
the battle of Observation ridge and
third time in the battle of the Somme.
He participated in five bayonet charges,
where hand-to-haud fighting was
necessary. He was an excellent shot
and they made him sharpshooter in
No Mans Land area between the front
line trenches Of the allies and the
Germans. He received decoration
from King Albert of Belgium for captur-
ing, single handed, a machine gun
detachment. He deprecates the
capture, for he says he was able to slip
up on the men while asleep, throw a
bomb among them and compel the
survivors to discard their arms and carry
the machine gun into camp.
So great is his appreciation OF what
the Red Cross has done for him that ne
will aid the state Red Cross compaign
committee secure the $400, 900
assigned to Oregon, outside Portland,
for the 500, 100000 Red Cross
emergency war service fund. He also
has sound advice to give those pre-
pairing Red Cross supplies.
Don't make towels and handker-
Chiefs" he says to sewing committees.
THE soldiers will use them as gun
rags. They have no chance to wash
in the trenches with the dead and
diving about them and blood and earth
shattered over them. The Red Cross
is short of iodine, bandages, cotton,
doctors and nurses. Give either the
materials or the money necessary to
buy. Let me tell you that l know
from personal experience dollar given
to the Red Cross may save soldiers
life.

Palmer and BOX MILL
BEGAN OPERATIONS MONDAY
Entire Plant of Great Northern Lumber
Company is Now Running Night
and Day Shifts

With the exception Of the Box mill
and the planning mill the manu-
featuring plant OF the Great Northern
Lumber Co. has been in operation
since the middle Of April. The box
mill and planning mill has in the mean
time undergone general overhauling
with the end in view Of putting every
thing in shape for continuous running
once the plant started up. The purpose
having been to run the entire plant
night and day at the earliest possible
moment. With this purpose in view the
entire plant has been wired for electric
lighting.
Just as the logging plan Of operation
has proved gratifying success so will
the plans Of operating the balance of
the plant, under the new management,
prove to have been comprehensively
pianed with a view to continuous and
economical operation.
The logging, equipment of the com
pany is not yet fully installed but under
the management.of Mr.. Quigley, who
has entire charge Of the logging oper-
atoms, this department has demon
strated its ability to supply the saw
mill with all the logs it can convert
into lumber when running both day
and night. The log deliveries are in
creasing every week. There are some
ten million feet in the pond now, and
this reserve stock is being added to
every day. The capacity OF the saw
mill aproximates 10000 feet every
ten hours.
Lumber shipments are going out
every day. at the rate OF from five to
eight cars. The price Of lumber, like
everything else, is advancing, so that
the general manager. Mr.. Gardner, is
quite confident that his plan OF oper-
ating the plant to its fullest capacity,
both night and day, is justified from
financial point OF view. Not for years
has the outlook for the lumber business
been more rosy. The demand for fruit
boxes in this valley will be larger than
ever and in the very nature Of things
the price will be higher. Certain
portions OF the lumber produced by the
Great Northern mill is better suited to
box making than other purposes, and
to meet the demand for boxes and
all the lumber best suited to for this
purpose the box mill will be busy
place from now on.
The Echo has given its hearty
support and approval to the Great
Northern Lumber Co. because it is an
important factor in the prosperity oi
Leavenworth now, and will be for many
years to come. It deserves, and will
receive the hearty support Of every
citizen who has an interest in the well
fare and prosperity OF the town.

all his policies, at the same time maintaining the rugged independence characteristics of him, differing only as to details and methods.
 Last fall Judge Tillman made many friends in Kentucky and Oklah oma, where he was sent by the National Committee to campa gn for President Wilson. Chairman j. c. Cantrell of Kentucky wrote him as follows: '1 beg to assure that the Democratic or ganization of Kentucky deeply appre- ciates the splendid work which you have done in our behalf. Your speech es were very effective, and many com pliments to you have come into our headquarters from the points which you visited" The Muskogee Okla homa Times said of him: He is one of the biggest men that has visited | Muskogee in this campaign. He is a bright original, orator, a unique politi- cal campaigner. He presents the achievements of the Wilson administra- tion in most convincing way. His speeches are original. unique and pleas ing, and are entirely different from the ordinary political talk The Tah- lequah paper said of his speech at that place: We consider it the best speech made in the city during the campaign.
 Congressman Tillman has been Ion the job constantly, rarely, if ever, missing roll call He has answered every card, call ot letter from h;s con stituents, and probably eXceis any of his colleagues in supplying documents, bulletins and pamphlets.
 As Governor Dockery of Missouri, now Third Assistant Postmaster Gen era, said to Erwin Funk of the Rogers Democrat. when in Washington recent been fortunate in the kind of men it has sent to Congress-. and now that we are at war with Germany, know ng that Congressman Tillman is fami- lar with legislation passed and pro- posed knowing that big problems confront the nation now, and knowing that big problems will confront us when the war is over-this paper thinks it is ID time to dismiss this faithful pub lie servant. Or, as great American said during the war between the states; ''lt is unsafe to swap horses, while crossing stream.
