Our Boys in Hawaii

From L w. Woodrow We learn that
his son Harrison, and Roslyn McNett
who joined the colors two months ago,
are now basking in the warm sun of the
Hawaiian islands, having sailed from
San Francisco for Honolulu the first OF
June. The boys are members Of two
picked regiments and have been as
signed to the Field Artilley. Their
last letter states that they are enjoying
good health and are we'll satisfied with
their lot. 1t is more than likely that
the boys will be kept in training on the
islands for several months, and that if
the war does not come to close this
year that they will see actual service in
Europe.

ROAD SUPERVISOR PARISH
MAKING MANY IMPROVEMENTS
New Road Has Been Opened From Plain
Down WenatChee River to Chiwaukum
Scenic Highway Open Aug. 1st

Road Supervisor Parish who was in
the city Tuesday told an Echo reporter
that he had just completed opening up
new road from Plain, or Wenatchee
Park, down the river as far as Chiwau-
KUN. The road f,llows the west bank
OF the stream and makes a "a mile
drive from this city. For several years
there has been a kind OF makeshift road
down the river, but it was seldom open
for traffic, so this year the county CO.
operating with the Forestry Department
has opened up what has been pro-
nounced first class highway. There
are a number OF settlers along the new
road and as it opens up good fishing
territory will doubtless see much travel
this summer.
Mr.. Parish says Seaman & Quigg
now have force OF men at work COM
pleting Chelan county's portion of the
Scenic Highway, and that the road will
in all probability be open for travel in
As days or by August 1st. King county
in the past three years has spent over
100000 on her part of the highway,
and another appropriation Of 100000
was recently made for this work. Sno
homish county will have expended
approximately 100000 by the close
of the year. Chelan county has had
the least expensive part of the road and
her expenditures all told will not amount
to over $4,000. 1t is planned to sur
face the road within the next two OF
three years. 1t is the belief however
that a car can leave here by the first
of August and 60 thru to the coast
without any trouble.

EASTERN PARTIES WILL
INSPECT ICICLE MINES
Van Epps Very 0ptOmistiC Over the Fu-
ture of the Vance Properties es-May
Yet Build Railroad

AL Van Epps came down from the
Icicle last Saturday and took the after
noon train for Seattle. Van told an Echo
reporter that he could not remember
as late spring as this in the last TWEEN
ty years. He was unable to get in to
his mining properties on the head ol
Jack Creek, twenty FIVE miles from this
city, on account of snow which is still
five and six feet deep in many places.
He expects to be here again in about
a week at which time he expects to be
able to reach his property.
Mr.. Van Epps is very optimistic
over the future OF the Vance properties,
and says Leavenworth people will yet
see railroad built from this point up
the Icicle. He is now corresponding
with eastern parties who will visit and
inspect the mines this summer.
Mining experts who have visited the
Vance claims, have made some very
flattering reports and are of the opinion
that transportation is the only thing
needed to make the properties pay
ing proposition.
An Echo representative made a trip
to the mines several years ago in COM
pany with Mr.. Van Epps, and was
completely astonished at the amount
OF work that has been done. Over two
miles Of tunnel work has beer dug
which exposes vein Of very rich look
ing ore. II we are to take the word OF
mining men, the property is no longer
prospect" it is a mine and only
awaits the coming Of railroad to make
il a producer.

BELIEVES ADVERTISING PAYS
Manager of Shoe Department is Highly
Pleased With the Results From
Ads in the Echo

Ira Baird, in charge OF the shoe de-
partment OF the Leavenworth Mercan-
tile Co.. knows that it pays to advertise
Last week Mr.. Baird who has charge
of the advertising for the Mercantile
Co., used his space in the Echo to tell
the people about a big shoe sale.
Meeting an Echo representative late
Saturday evening he said, Say boy,
but we sure did make hole in our
shoe stock. yesterday and today.
That quarter page ad in The Echo
certainly brought results" So there
you are-what more proof does anyone
want, that advertising in the Echo pays.
The people who read and pay for this
paper, read the ads, just as much as
they do the news matter. They are
always on the lookout for specials
or money savers" and when the mer-
chant offers inducements-he gets the
business. The management of the
Echo urges its advertisers to change
their ads every week. Also to offe,
special inducements to the public,
knowing that the results will be crafty
ing to both the buyer and the seller.
The Echo believes in the "Trade-a'
home" policy because it is the great
est factor in the growth and upbuilding
of any community. The men or wom'
en- who get their living out OF the town
in which they reside should at leas'
buy the necessities OF life in thai
town. Buying Of mail order houses
tends to drive local merchants out o.
business, property values decline ano
the town soon goes to the bow-wows
On the other hand in a community
where the people pull together and
spend their money at home you vii
find a prosperous condition, good lane
values and a satisfied feeling.
Taking everything into consideration
the Echo believes that the prices il
local stores will compare favoraDiy WI ~
those in any other part OF the state
Let everyone make the resolution
to do all their trading at home" anC
thereby make this bigger and bette
town to live in. The practice OF read
ing the Echo ads will often result il
the saving OF many dollar.
Next week the Echo will give anoth
er important reason why everyon

G. n. LUMBER co. BUSY
IN ALL DEPARTMENTS
Planning Mill Running, Log Deliveries In
creasing and Lumber Shipments
Made Every Day.

The yard OF the company is busy
place these days. II you don't be.
lieve it 90 over thee and see things
moving. It will be still more so when
the box mill gets to running and the
saw mill runs night and day, which is
contemplated in the near future. Both
the saw mill and planning mill is being
wired for electric lights. Men are now
busy putting up the electric fixtures.
The delivery of logs has been doubled
in the past ten DAYS and the accum-
ulation OF logs in the mill pond is much
in evidence as the water area is being
covered with floating logs.
The company recently put two more
donkey engines into commission, one
an unusually large one, to operate an
aerial tram, or whatever you choose to
call it. The logs are hoisted into the
air and never touch anything after they
are hoisted from the ground on the hill
side until they are dropped onto the
logging cars. Two and three trains of
eight and ten cars of logs are delivered
every day, and this will be increased
soon. Everything is running as ii it
was creased, and they do say good
deal of grease is being used in one way
and another.
Before the summer is over the entire
plant will be running night and day if
it is possible to get help. So far no
trouble has been experienced in getting
all the help the company requires, but
when apple picking begins there may
be another story to tell. The apple
industry in the fail Of the year requires

Bruce Dodd of Spokane, Washington.
The woman who seven years ago
attracted nationwide attention by sug-
gesting the annual observance OF day
set apart in memory Of our fathers, now
urges the doing of one kindly act on
June II, this year in special commem-
oration of Fathers Day. In this con-
nection Mrs. Dodd suggests that each
person choose for himself the nature ol
the kindly deed, bearing in mind the
thought that the deed q be something

who were on their way to Alaska. They
were to take ship at Seattle for the
Russians port Of Vladistcck. Many Of
them had their wives with them. In
talking with several members of the
party we learned that their mission, at
least that Of the men, was to fight for
Russia against Germany. Also they
said they intended to spread the
doctrine Of democracy and convince

peace with the German which would in
the end result in the attempt to restore

U. II. LEFTWICH KILLED
WRECK TUESDAY
Machine Went Down 40 Foot Embank-
ment Within Half Mile of His Home

M. Leftwich, for two years owner ol
the Chikamin Hotel, and the past five
years owners OF dairy ranch seven
miles up the Chumstick valley, was
instantly killed Tuesday morning short
ly after seven o'clock less than hall
mile from his home when his auto left
the grade and went down forty foot,
steep embankment. Some six weeks
ago he took the contract to furnish the
logging camps of the Great Northern
Lumber Co., one and half mile This
side Of his home, with milk, butter
cream and other camp supplies. He
had engaged milk and cream from near
by neighbors to supplement his own
supply and it was his custom to gather
up this supply early in the morning.
He was returning from the Randolph
Heinrichs place, hall mile up little
valley east OF his home. 1t was on his
way back, between a quarter and half
mile from his home that the accident
happened. Henry Peppmuller, Mrs.
Heinrich's brother was in the car with
him and was himself bruised and
scratched, tho not seriously hurt. The
road along the hillside where the
accident occurred is narrow and only
recently it was repaired and on the out
side edge some lose earth had been
left. Mr.. Leftwich had the reputation
OF being a fast driver, tho not an ex-
periepced one. From the best in
formation we can get from those who
examined the ground and the statement
of young Peppmuller. he was coming
down the road at rather fast gait for
new and narrow mountain road, and
just where the car left the grade he hit
small but sharp rise in the road on
the side next to the hill which must
have caused the car to turn to the out
side where it got into the soft earth
which still further retarded the move
ment on that side and the car took the
plunge down the bank headfrst, turn
ing complete summersault, perhaps
two, as it landed with the front end oil
the car turned to the road. On the
side OF the bank were some logs and
rocks. An examination by the attend
ing physicians, Drs Judah and Hoxsey,
showed that his skull was severely
fractured and his neck broken, and
death must have been instantaneous.
The body was Immediately brought to
town and is now at the Leavenworth
Undertaking parlors.
Mr.. Leftwich came to Washington
from the State of Georgia where his
father and brothers reside. Mrs. Left
wich has been an invalid for the past
four or five years, as helpless as child,
~ - - -. -. the most careful attention
by her husband. Her death i,ao 1e1u
predicted for the past two years. Mr..
Leftwich was a good and industrious
citizen, and kind and patient husband,
and his death is universally deplored.
A message was received Tuesday
from brother Of U. H. Leftwich re
siding in Georgia, instructing the
undertaking company to have the body
OF his brother embalmed for shipment
to his old home. The telegram also
stated that he would arrange to take
Mrs. Leftwich back with him. He is
expected TO arrive here Saturday ol
Sunday
