ViaduCt Needs RepIanking.

A number OF complaints as to the
condition Of the viaduct over the
Great Northern tracks has reached the
Echo Office the past week. It is about
time the council took steps to make
the needed repairs. The planking is
about worn out leaving the spikes
sticking up an inch or more in many
places. The chances for auto owners
to get punctures on the viaduct are
very good. A little work on some OF
the roads and streets within the city
limits would be appreciated by all.

MOST ATRO0OUS MURDER
CASHMERE SUNDAY EVENING
first Shot and Then Beaten Over Head
Girl S Years Old Recovering
from Broken Leg.

Gertrude Cloud, the five year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Cloud
was most brutally murdered last Sun
day evening between $3.50 and 9
o'clock, while the parents were at
church. Little Gertrude recently had
her leg broken by falling from a pile Of
lumber on which she had been playing
and the cast had been taken of that
day. Little Gertrude was lying on a
porch bed beside an older brother who
was asleep. Another brother had gone
inside the house to arrange the music
in a player piano for the entertainment
Of his sister. He heard the shot and
ran to the porch in time to see a man
in ragged clothes with a mask on his
face run thru the orchard. Mason
Hadley, neighbor boy, attracted to
the scene confirms the story about a
man running around the house and thru
the orchard. Altho thoro investigation
was made by the county authorities no
clue that would lead to the identification
of the murderer was found.
Beside being shot the head Of the
child was beaten with some blunt
instrument and then hacked with some
thing sharp.
The Cloud family removed from
Everett, Wash, to Cashmere about
year ago. No motive for the dastardly
deed is known. Alva Burgette who was
married some years ago to an older
daughter Of the Clouds was divorced
by his wife. They had one child and
the family say he had made some
threats that his wife should not have
the little girl. He was put under
peace bond by the Everett authorities.
The Cloud family says they have not
seen Burgette for four years. An
effort has been made to locate Burgette
but so far has resulted in failure. The
Bufgette child and little Gertrude were
about the same age and might easily
have been mistaken while asleep for
the Burgette child, if the object was to
kill the Burgette child. The evidence
has developed no other theory as to a
motive for the deed.
Cashmere was tremendously worked
up over the awful deed and men
searched all Sunday night for the
murderer, who if he had been
aprehended would no doubt have been
dealt with.

Game Warden Warns Hunters.

Editor Echo:-Howard Payne OF
Chiwawa recently told and hadpublished
in the Daily World and Spokesman
Review thrilling experience with
black bear, how he shot her and was
pursued by her until she dropped dead
at his feet; was arrested and plead
guilty and was fined $50 and costs.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
snecies of bear in this district will not
attack person unless they are cornered
or wounded and the game warden, R.

yiolators of the bear law will receive
no immunity by telling hair raising
tales in regard to killing bear for the
nrotection of their own life. This is
the fourth violation and conviction OF
the bear law this month. They are
protected between May lst and
September 1st, while the pelts are

Let One Postage Stamp do the Work

Postmaster Hamilton in line with
other war economists, requests that the
public use only one postage stamp
whenever possible and thereby save
the government the cost OF printing
other unnecessary stamps. In other
words, the public is requested by the
postoffice department to use a ten
cent stamp on a package instead of
plastering it over with ten one cent
stamps or five two cent stamps. Use
two cent stamps instead OF two ones,

proper light some Of social and politi-
cal difficulties now facing US as nation.
Fourth, to fix the high ideals of the
youth for clean speech, clean thought
clean act. through inspiration and lea
dership.
There will be nothing Of the military
training or anything which will hasten
or encourage military participation on
the part OF the boys.

The hot weather which came to an
end last Saturday, lasted almost two
weeks and was one Of the longest un-
broken periods Of very hot weather for
a number OF years. Here, where we
depend on irrigation and have plenty
Of water, nothing in the nature OF crops
suffered. Our apple crop is fully up
to the average. Hay Of all kinds,
potatoes and vegetables Of all kinds, Of
which the planting is greater than ever
before, promises an abundant yield.

HOME CANNED FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES ARE SUPERIOR
Says a Peshastin Reader Cost Less
Suggests Domestic Science High
School Class Assist.

A Peshastin reader of the Echo who
shuns publicity and requests that her
name be not mentioned in this con-
nection, writes that she read in last
weeks Echo the story in which we
urged the good housewives to save the
vegetables and fruits by canning and
drying them. The suggestion that
the Domestic Science class in our High
School might aid materially in this
worthy conservation movement is
worth considering. and we pass it up
to the proper authorities. The class
would gain practical experience and at
the same time have the satisfaction OF
helping the movement to save the
food stuff This is being done in
other places. Our Peshastin reader
says from experience she has learned
that peas should bepicked in the early
morning, while it is cool, and shelled
and canned at once, or kept on ice,
as they ferment rapidly, and adds,
Home canned fruits and vegetables,
whel properly prepared and canned,
are superior TO those from the store"
The following from the Everett
Tribune is worth reading:
Some one has cleverly adapted that
first line of the "Star Spangled Banner"
which reads 'Oh, Say, Can You Seer"
to 'Oh. Say, Can You CAM" and in
this frantic food preservation campaign
which our country is waging it is
most significant slogan.
A number OF wealthy Eastern won

state in Canning Special" lecturing
and distributing literature on the art Of
canning and plastered over the cars
were these labels: Preserve or
Perish" Can or Collapse - Work
or WANT These women were shar-
ing with their rural sisters all the in
formation they themselves had CLEANED
from experts on the noble art Of can
ming
Everett's thrifty housewives realize
that food preservation is the first law
Of war, and busy fingers shell peas and
stone cherries in sociable little groups
on porches or shady back lawns these
summer days, and then fill the big
market baskets, load up with Jars and
away to the big convenient canning
kitchen in the basement OF the Central
school. Here the work is superintended
by experts and all varieties OF fruits,
vegetables and meats are being put up.
The kitchens are fitted with all the
modern Improvements Tor canning.
One may even purchase there the
bright, new tin cans, which sell most
reasonably, and when filed and boiled
and sealed. make one feel justly proud
OF hard mornings work Figuring
all the expense connected with it,
with prices as they are at present, one
saves about half. Through the
generosity OF the school board and one
of the citizens of the city, the use Of
the kitchens and the time Of the ex-
perts experimenting the work, is
given gratis, and since June II, when
the work first began, Everett women
have canned on an average OF 260
pints Of ioodstuffs daily. which will
tend to reduce living expenses Of
many a household during the winter
months.
