guilty before Justice Collins Wednes-
day to bringing liquor into dry terri
tory and were bound over to appear
before the superior court. These
smoked Cholos came in from Blythe

leaving the train they went to the
home OF one OF the Mexican section

raise a hell of big row." as Alberto
Reyes puts it, SO Constable Roberts

The officer noting the grOggy ap-
pearance of the men, searched the
valise which they carried, and found
therein some bottles of liquor. They
were accordingly locked up for the

tains to fOurth-class matter, the max

the usefulness and availability of the
parcels post service. 1t will afford a
prompt, convenient and cheap means
of transporting mail in parcels.

particularly advantageous in the
marketing of products from the farm,
as it will make it possible for the con-
sumner to get in direct contact. there

distribution of food, which is most
important factor in winning the
war;

DAM IT. YES-THE COLORADO

A measure is now pending before
congress in which it is proposed to
dam the Colorado river. Everybody
in this locality is heartily in favor Of
such a project and the whole cry is,
Dam the Colorado" Just the other
day, for example, w. l.. Mckay, after
spending a whole day fishing in the
Colorado with the result that he had
only eight little frOg-faced catfish to
show for his time spent, replied when
asked what luck he had Dam the
Colorado" while Capt. Joe Bush, the
ferryman in charge of the Nellie r,
will admit that he has exclaimed
Dam the Colorado" often enough
during the past year, in lodging it's
numerous sandbars, to cause that
stream to be eternally damned; and
if a certain gospel sharp from PhOe-
nix who failed in his attempt to
make his automobile swim across the
river recently didn't say Dam the
'COlOradO, when he found himself
neck-deep in it's muddy waters, then
we'll be damned!
But while those words, Dam the
Colorado" may be heard on every
side, from proletariat to pulpiteer,
the idea should not be formed that
we have become cranky over the
dam project, or that we are dam silly,
for when the incalculable benefit to
be derived through the generation
of electrical energy and the develop
ment of irrigation by such a system
is understood, it will readily be seen
of dam cranks.

SAM M | ES.

Grover Lowdermilk, the "wildman"
of the majors, hasn't forgot his old
habits. In the spring series between
the Browns and the Cards Lowder
milk looked comparatively tame, but
just as soon as the season opened he
started to pegging the ball over the
grandstand. No pitcher in the game
has more natural stuff than this long,
lanky fellow, but generally speaking
it avails him nothing because he can't
control the ball. Which reminds us
off the great Mathewson's advice to
recruits: Get control and then learn
to pitch" Lowdermilk seems to have
applied the reverse English.

PRAISES CHAUTAUQUA AND
WHACKS DISTURBERS

To The Leavenworth Echo:
Having been asked by many of the
people who attended the Chautau-
qua which l considered the best
musical entertainment, | will state
of course my choice was the even
ing concert by the New York band.
They played nothing but the very
highest class of classical numbers,
excepting the one entitled cover
There" Was somewhat disappointed
at the afternoon concert, but per-
haps | expected too much for my
money. My next choice was the
Shubert Serenaders, and my third
would be the Apollo Concert Co.
This music puts me in mind of a
criticism by some writer for the
Echo some time ago, directed at the
Kid Band, when he or she said the
band is certainly fine, but they
should play ragtime music and have
a rag time band, that is what the
people want Well, nothing doing
here. Some of those people who arc
stuck on rag time. noise will turn
black in the face if they keep on.
The Lord knows | look dark enough
myself without playing niger
music all the time. A word right
here to band boys and musicians of
all kinds: The person whose taste
runs to that kind of stuff WILL in my
opinion, never be musicians enough
to perform the kind of music played
by the New York Marine Band The
fellows who get tired of working on
"The Bohemian Girl" "Neptune-s
Carnival" and "The Poet and Peas
ant" and say "Oh, let's play Noisy
Bill, or let's play a march," l hope
will read this criticism.
The kids that put on the Mother
Goose" stunt, or a number of them,
spoiled the Serenaders' concert for
many people by congregating in
front near the stage and making
such big disturbance the piano ac-
companist to the singing had re-
peatedly to ask them to be quiet in
order to hear the singing.

MADE Is YEARS
AGO FULFILLED

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet and
essayist, writing some IS years ago,
said:
"The possible destiny of the Uni
ted States Of America as a nation o.
hundred million of free men,
stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific living under the laws Of Al
fred and speaking the language of
Shakespeare and Milton. is an au-
gust conception"
The United States is now a nation
of hundred million and more,
stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. and reaching out east takes
in Hawaiia and the Philippines, in
the north Alaska, and in the south
the Panama canal. But grander
than its physical is its moral great
ness. It's fairness and justice, its
courage and power, its maintenance
of right and freedom cover the
world
The destiny the United States is
now fulfilling is more august con-
ception than even the imagination of
the author of Kubla Khan conceived
of less than a century ago.

FURTHER IMPROVEMENT OF
BLEWETT PASS ABANDONED

At this time there is approx
n1ately available for further I'M
provement of this important road
the sum of $4,000, but because the
government is urging the delay OF
al work not absolutely necessary,
for the purpose of conserving labor
that is urgently needed in lines of
activity connected with the prosecu-
ton of the war, it is not likely that
more work will be done than is alb
solutely necessary to make the road
safe for travel until after the war
is over With this reasonable con-
clusion no one will find fault
The pass and road by way of
Blewett to Seattle is reported in
fairly good condition for travel. For
prudent drivers is is safe. The
wishes of speed maniacs ought not
to be considered. If, in indulging
their mania for fast and reckless
driving, some of them come to grief.
they must suffer the consequences.

THE SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY
ON THE COAST

That the activity in shipbuilding
on Puget Sound is still on the In
crease is indicated by numerous
TENS in the daily press in the past
few days, as the following items,
taken at random, show:
The past week the Ames Shin
Building Co. closed contract for
fourteen $500 ton cargo steamers.
Twenty-six wooden and steel
ships have been launched at Tacoma
since February 9th.
Within the next year the Tacoma
shipyards will construct twenty-five
million dollars worth of steel ships.
The National Ship Building Co
last week launched its first shin.

NO TIME FOR TINKERING.

There are still people who think
it is important to press innumer-
able constitutional amendments and
some even advocate holding consti-
tutional conventions in some west
ern states.
When one stops to think what
would have happened to our country
if the seven hundred amendments
proposed to or federal constitution
in the past twenty years had all
been adopted. he hesitates.
The single great fact remains
that the federal and state constitu-
tons have been tested out by exper-
fence and found adequate TO the
strain of successfully carrying on
the greatest war in history.
II does not seem a favorable time
to alter radically the basis OF our
state or federal government when
we are engaged in a hand TO hand
struggle between democracy and au-
tocracy for the whole world.
Experiments and expense of hold
ing constitutional conventions should
be avoided above all things and
those who have radical propositions
TO promote can well afford to wait
a more convenient season.-Review.
