SEATTLE WOMAN CAME HERE
REPLY TO ADVERTISEMENT
Saws She Did Not Like the Looks of
Things and Immediately
Went Back

A lady from Seattle who gave the
name of Miss Fontella Veo, was look
ing for employment and naturally
scanned the Help wanted" columns Of
the daily papers. Among many she
found one that looked good to her from
gentleman of means who wanted
housekeeper at Leavenwcrth, Wash.
Miss Veo at once answered that ad.
Promptly came back an answer by
wire, urging her to come at once Oh
No. D." signed de Reymonte. In
quiry about the departure Of No 3 also
developed that No. Q arrived at Leav-
enworth at Q. a. m., and Miss Veo de-
cided to come on No. which arrived
here Monday afternoon last at $3.50 p. m.
The gentleman of means was on
hand to meet her and escorted her to
his home which is located near the north
end OF the Wenatchee river bridge in
which she was to be housekeeper, or
massieur," She did not like the
surroundings, she said, and besides
there were bottles Of suspicious looking
medicine, some labeled Poison" and
it "All looked funny" She asked the
gentleman of means to pay her fare
back to Seattle, which he did, and she
took belated No 43 the same day.
Seen at the depot she gave the above
details to a reporter for The Echo, and
remarked futher that she was glad she
had decided not to accept the offer
from the gentleman of means who also
told her he was a High officer,
engaged in trapping German spies.
Before getting on the train she said
she was French and the Gentleman
Of means did not look on the level to
me. Besides he does not speak our
language correctly and that made me
suspicious"
Futher investigation elected the fact
that Justice Of the Peace Reynolds and
Marshal Love, accompanied by DR.. R.
A. McKeown went to de Reymonte'
house Monday afternoon and inter
viewed Miss Veo and de Reymonte.
While there they took possession oi
some drugs and surgical instruments,
which de Reymonte says have not been
returned.
Mr.. de Reymonte called at The
Echo office Tuesday morning and
related how the officers accompanied
by DR.. McKeown had visited his home
and the latter told Miss Veo that he
was a crook and discouraged her
accepting service with him. Also that
they took several bottles Of medicine
and some OF his surgical instruments.
He stated that the offer he had made
to Miss Veo was perfectly Legitimate
and to show that he was man o.
standing in Europe, from where he
came he exhibited a number o
formidable looking documents, signed
by the present King Of Greece. tht
deposed Car OF Russia and certificate
OF membership in the Washington
Drugless Medical society. He said hi
proposed to start Miss Veo up in th'
massage business, and that she secured
his address from the French consu
at Seattle.

A Labor Day Sermon at Peshastin

Rev. Morton preached Labor Day
sermon last Sunday morning at the M.
E. Church. In the course OF his
sermon he said the chasm between
labor and capital was widening
rather than narrowing. He also gave
the Presbyterian church credit for first
championing the cause Of the working
man. Judging from the speakers dis
course, says our informant, he has
studied sociology in a practical way
and is student of economic conditions.

WHAT LETTERS MEAN TO
THE MAN AT THE FRONT
Keep Your Boy or Your Friend Posted
On What's Happening OF Home
Il Means Lot to Them

This incident happened very recently
at the naval training station on Goa'
Island, in San Francisco bay. Fifteen
hundred rockies. lads who had just
arrived at the station were surrounding
a sailor perched on a box distributing
mail. The boat had just arrived and
the mail was being handed out. As
the names OF the sailors were called
the lads would step up and receive the
letter addressed to them. 1t was a
facinating sight. The sailor distribut-
ing the mail would call out name and
Immediately would come reply and a
willing hand backed by happy smile
would reach cut and take the letter.
Then the lad would walk away, his
face fairly beaming. He would seek a
quiet spot and read and sometime re-
reaQ the letter-
So it continued for fifteen minutes
until the crowd was pretty we'll thinned
out. All around were sailors intently
reading. Some had smile on their
faces, others looked more serious and
there was one lad who sobbed as if his
heart would break. bad news1"
questioned his chum. Poor old
Towser's gone" sobbed the lad in
reply. THE folks say that he wouldn't
eat thing after I left and they found
him Sunday back OF the barn. dead. "
The last letter had been distributed
to its owner and the postman had de-
parted but there still fingered dozen
or more boys with long faces and
serious mien. They were the lads for
whom there was no letter. 1t meant a
whole lot to those boys to hear from
home. 1t would have lifted heavy
load from their hearts to have re-
ceived just one line from someone that
cared. They felt, in their boyish way
that no one thought Of them, They
were respondent and in frame oi
mind that meant disaster to them.
Then there went among them a
secretary Of the Navy Y. M. c. A.
He knew what the matter was. He
had seen incidents like this before.
And he knew what to do. With a
CHEEKY smile and word of good will
he went to them individually and in
vited them to share in the entertain
ment at the association building that
evening. And they went. Boyish
minds easily adjust themselves tc
conditions. They forgot the thought
lessness OF the folks at home and
entered into the spirit OF the evening.
All OF which carries its lesson Keep
in touch with your boy. The home
influence is the strongest tie he has tc
keep him morally straight. When il
fails, the Y. M. c. A. can sometimes
reach out and save the day.

LOGGING HAS CHANGED
AND SO HAVE LOGGERS
Now You Can Not Tell Logger from
Anybody EIse-0ther Lumber Men
Adopting Methods of Great
Northern

The August Timberman, Portland,
devoted two pages, with illustrations
to the mill and logging equipment ol
the Great Northern Lumber Co. Mr..
Gardner. the general manager, has
received a number of communications
from lumbermen thruout the United
States who want to know about the
cost and other particulars about the
company's new system Of logging and
camp equipment. Already some lum-
bering companies have seen the ad-
vantage OF providing the employees
with cleanly and sanitary surroundings,
such as spring beds, pillows, hot and
cold and shower baths in the camps,
table cloths and chinaware in the din
ingroom, in truth first class accommo-
dations in every particular. Mill men
have learned that these conveniences
90 far in keeping crew of men con-
tented. In the past lumber companies
furnished rough wooden bunk houses
and wooden hunks with cheap straw
mattress. The lumber jacks furnished
their own blankets. Invariably a
lumber worker carried a roll Of blankets
on his back when hunting job. He
knew il he did not have his own blan-
kets there would be none at camp for
him. The Great Northern has sleeping
cars for its men. Every bed is single,
has springs, a good mattress, pillows
and good clean blankets. The cars
are painted white inside and a care
taker keeps everything clean and
sanitary.
Today a logger cannot be told from
a drygoods clerk by his clothing and
general appearance. The loggers who
come here looking for job no longer
carry a roll of blankets, wear hob-nailed
shoes and short ducking pants. They
are smooth shaved, wear a good suit
of clothes, walk straight, step lively
and have a prosperous appearance.
Whiskey was the worst enemy OF
the man who worked in the woods.
AS long as whiskey was sold he just
thought he had to get drunk the first
thing when he came to town. Now
he comes to town all dolled up, buys
magazines, newspapers, ice cream
cones, soft drinks and goes to the
movies. Sometimes he takes an excur-
sion in an auto. Altogether his diver
sions are rational, sensible, and slim
ulating in the right direction, in place
of debasing and demoralizing.
Money! You bet he has money. In
the past month some have come to
town with orders for checks for from
$500 to upwards OF $500. One had
a check cashed at the bank for over

cal Survey Of the U. S.
Government.

The New Year estimate Of the pro-
duction of zinc in 1916, just issued by
the United States geological survey, de-
partment Of the interior, shows the re-
coverable zinc content of ore mined in
the United States in 1916 as 100000
tons, a gain of over 10000 tons or 20
per cent as compared with 1915. The
Joplin region made the largest gain,
with Montana next, but large gains
were also made by the Upper MISSISSIPPI
pi valley, Colorado and Tennessee.
The production of spelter from do
nestle ores was about $4,000 tons,
worth abouhs150, 100000, and from for
eign ores, 10000 tons, total Of 65S,000
tons, worth about $780, 900 compared
TO total of 4S9,519 tons in 1915, worch
1921. AGO. 900. This indicates gain Of
value, or about 30 per cent in quantity
and nearly so per cent in value. OF the
total there was smelted in Illinois, $780,
$50 tons: in Kansas, 140,516 tons; lii
Oklahoma, 164,0SS tons; and in all other
states 1854 tons. Exports of spelter,
zinc sheets and manufactures, and Of
brass and brass manufactures were
very large.
The apparent consumption of spelter
is estimated at $4,000 tons and spelter
stocks at 1890, reduction Of $500
tons since the midyear. The average
price for 1916 at St Louis of spelter for

When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure TO follow. According to health
statistics, Brights Disease, which Is

the former had circled the end for
