f. f. CARLQUIST SPENDS
WEEK AT MINING CAMP
Says the Royal Development Co. has
Done much Development Work
the Past Summer.

Mr.. F. E. Carlquist returned last
Sunday form a five days vacation
spent at the mining camp of the Royal
Development Co., in the Red Mountain
region, forty-five miles north of here.
Mr.. !Carlquist reports good time
spent hunting and fishing and sleep
ing, with emphasis on the latter. He
says when he was mot awake he was
sleeping"
He has made frequent visits to the
camp in the past two years and re-
marked that the company had done an
enormous amount of development
work, including the building of a
water power plant and the istallation
of power wheel. From twelve to
fourteen men have been constantly
employed since early in the summer.
He says the company is going ahead
with the confidence of men who know
what they have in sight and wait only
for time to prove they have the max
ing of mine.

FORD CAR SWIPED
TUESDAY NIGHT.

A Ford touring car, license No. A.
006, belonging to Allen Griffith, of
Cashmere, was taken by some one who
had disregard for the rights of
property last Tuesday night between
ten and eleven o'clock. The car was
left standing in front of the residence
of Harry Geards while the owner was
visiting at the Geerds home. A dill
gent search was made but so fa~ no
trace has been found of it. The first
supposition was that it was taken by
some thoughtless boys who wanted it
for little joy ride, but as no trace
of it has been found, it is thought
quite likely some tourist on his way
to Seattle may have taken it.
Since the above was written the car
was found about five miles up the
Chumstick valley in the brush by the
roadside. Three tires had been re-
moved. No arrests have been made
as yet.

DELIVERING THE GOODS.

The two great products which west
ern industries take out of the ground,
oil and minerals, are indispensable to
this nations war program.
These great industries have been
developed entirely by American in
genuity at the expense and risk of
private capital.
We are today furnishing the world
with the bulk of its oil, copper and
many other metals and it is all being
done by private industry cooperating
with the government.
In the face of this record we find
professional politicians laying all
kinds of obstacles in the way of the
development of these industries.
The public is beginning to see that
industry is delivering the goods while
the political agitator is delivering lit
tie but trouble for the man who is
straining every effort to increase pro-
duction. z
The time is here to give more con-
sideration to our producers and less
to the vote seeker.

SEVERELY GORED BY MAD BULL

Dr. Judah reports that John Foster
living on the Cahil place in the upper
Chumstick valley was severely and
dangerously hurt by Holstein bull
yesterday forenoon. At the time he
was attacked, Mr.. Foster had his back
turned to the bull, which got him
down on the ground and was tramp
ling him under fott. Mrs. Foster see
ing his danger, with the family dog
came to his relief. The dog grabbed
the bull by the nose, giving Mrs. Fos-
ter time to get her husband out of the
way. Mr.. Foster suffered internal in
iuries the seriousness of which have
not been fully determined. The bull
is a full brother to the one that kill
ed Mr.. Hove on the Northrup ranch
four years ago.

G.. N. MAIL TRAIN
HELD UP AT MUKILTE0

A lone bandit held up the Great
Northern mail train Monday morning
last, at Mukilteo, small station east
of Everett He compelled the engin-
eer, Mark McLain, to stop his train
and made one of the trainmen un-
couple the mail and baggage coaches
and run down the track mile where
he rifled the mail of all registered
packages and placed it in a suit case,
then making the fireman uncouple the
engine from the mail car he ordered
them to haul him a mile further down
the track and then disappeared in the
brush. When he first stopped the train
several trainmen got out to see what
was the matter and he fired several
shots in their direction which had the
effect of keeping the curious under
cover while he was proceeding with
his business. Fireman B. N. Rayburn
had the courage to throw hammer at
the robber and drew two shots, both
of which missed him. Engineer Nc
Lain is a brother of Mrs. w. A. Tegt-
meier, of Leavenworth. Bloedhounds
from the Monroe reformatory were
put on the trail of the robber but
failed to locate him. The belief is
that he had boat near by. The road
skirts the Sound most of the distance
between Everett and Seattle. The
amount of money stolen has not been
given out but is believed to amount to
several thousand dollars. The vicin-
ETY. of Mukilteo seem to be a favorte
spot with the hold up gentry. Several
like incidents have occurred near Muk-
ilteo in years gone by.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
Comparative Statement of Wealth and
Per Capita Debt of Big Nations
In War.

Once again our government is ask
ing for our money. The Fourth Liber-
ty Loan, to be opened for subscription
September % is our opportunity to
lend.
With the faith that characterizes
her progress, our nation has called
for sum larger than any of the pre-
vious loans called for, sum larger
than most of us can comprehend.
Six billion dollars, for the immed-
ate use of our army and navy depart
ments is the minimum with which the
government can be satisfied at present
AS yet, we have not begun to feel
the burden of providing the govern
ment with funds. Neither as nation
nor as individuals do we come in the
class with the other belligerents in
the matter of financial obligation.
compare the ratio of national debt to
the total wealth of the nations at war:
Germany ....................37 per cent.
France .....................37 per cent.
Great Britain ..45 per cent.
United States ............ 5 per cent.
We have not tapped the surface of
our national wealth in our quest for
war financing.
Nor do we as individuals carry a
heavy per capita burden. Against
Germany's $3.50; Frances $3.50; Great
Britain's 5000; Italy's 500; Austria's
$3.50; place the United States $115.
One hundred and fifteen dollars is
not much to owe for our country, is
it? What one of us is here who
would hesitate to assume that obi
cation for friend, not to mention
one to whom we owe all that means
most in life to US.
We might give the country that
hundred and fifteen dollars which it
figures is the debt of each of us; give
that sum before we begin to invest
for ourselves. But the government

save and earn in this hour of special
need.

win is half the battle"

will to win.

the American people. 1t must have

HOLDERS OF 4PfR CENT BONDS
MAY CONVERT THEM INTO41-2
Are Also Urged to Take Registered
BOnds-They are Protection
Against Theft and Loss.

"The Treasury Department again
reminds holders of four per cent. Lib
erty Loan Bonds that their securities
are convertible into 4 IA per cent.
bonds of the Third Liberty Loan, and
extends a warning that this privilege
lapses November and cannot be re-
newed.
A statement issued over the sig
nature of Secretary McAdoo says:
Holders of these per cent. bonds
lose nothing by exercising the privi-
lege of conversion and gain IA per
cent interest per annum. Holders of
4 per cent. bonds should not wait un-
til the last moment to exercise the
privilege of conversion but proceed to
do so promptly. Delay will result in
overburdening the banking institu-
tions of the country and the Treas
ury department by making it neces-
sary to handle all conversions at the
last moment, and may result in the
loss of the privilege of conversion al
together.
Holders of coupon bonds are
strongly advised to request issue of
registered bonds in order to protect
themselves against the risk of loss,
theft and destruction of their bonds.
"Official Department Circular No.
ia with forms of application, has been
distributed to Federal Reserve Banks
and banks and trust companies thru
out the United States. These insti-
tutions are acting, as matter of pa
triotic service, to assist bond holders
in exchanging 4 per cent. bonds for
4 Ia per cent bonds and in register
ing their bonds"

JURY GIVES BRISKEY
$7,500.O0 DAMAGES

The case of G. w. Briskey against
the Great Northern Lumber Co., in
the Superior court of Chelan county
came to an end on the fifth day last
Friday, whe the jury brought in a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
81, 500 damages to his 1917 hay crop
The lumber company may consider
itself fortunate that Mr.. Briskey did
not get hunch and bring his suit for
a round hundred thousand dollars
The same jury would have given him
$4,000. A man connected with the
lumber company tells the Echo that
the company has already paid Mr.
Briskey over $4,000 This together
with the court costs and lawyers fees
paid by the litigants amounts to ap-
approximately $4,000.
Not only has the damage growing
out of the building of the log dam by
the lumber company fifteen years ago,
taken up much of the courts time, and
been something akin to a gold mine
for lawyers, but invilved one in malo-
dorous disbarment proceedings. c..
Victor Martin, counsel for Br. Brisk
ey in one of the numerous cases brot
against the mill company, collected
five thousand dollars awarder Briskey
by the jury, but forgot to turn the
money over to his client. Ughi

TO PUT SOLDIER BOYS

On another page of this issue OF
The Echo a timely suggestion is made
by one of our soldier boys. We agree
with his suggestion. He wants the
Echo to obtain the address of every
boy in the service from Leavenworth
and supply the list to the others
that they may write to each other.
If our readers will furnish this paper
with the full name and correct address
of each of our boys we will undertake
to put them in writing touch with
each other. Write name and address
plain, so that errors may be avoided

OPENING OF BOND SALE DRIVE
IN PARK TO MORROW NIGHT
The Beginning of Honor Week in the
Bond Sale Drive will Open To-
morrow Night in the Park
Speaking, Music, Songs.

Mr.. F. S. Jacobsen has been COM
missioned to manage the Fourth
Liberty Loan Drive, has arranged an
interesting program for tomorrow
evening. The people of Leavenworth
have the opportunity of making the
opening memorable event. Leaven-
worth's quota, approximately $4,000,
must be raised if it takes the entire
time allowed. Since this is true,
why not raise it the first evening? 1t
can be done. All that is required is
for everybody to attend the meeting
and everybody to screw their bond
buying ability up to the highest notch.
Arrangements have been made with
the bank to remain open for the ac-
commodation of all buyers.
The names of those who buy bonds
tomorrow evening will be printed in
next weeks Echo. Thereafter no
names of bond buyers, or subscribers
to any kind of fund will be printed
in the Echo, for the reason that it re-
ouires too much time to set up names
to the exclusion of other and more i'm
portant reading matter.
Now if you are interested in up
holding Leavenworth's past reputation
be on hand to morrow night, and come
prepared to buy, and buy, and buy,
until the full amount is made up.

SHIPWORKERs RESPONSIBILITY.

Shipping board officials in general
take the view that the needs of the
shipyards and the merchant marine
are at present entitled to right of way
over the needs of the army. They
point out that without continuation of
the construction program, and with
out interrupted operation of all ves-
sells, the army abroad cannot be sup
piled. Exemption of shipworkers as
a class is not desired because of the
possibility that men would flock to
the shipyards to evade the draft.
There is no doubt that most ship
ward workers will be exempted under
the plea of necessary and important
work. Though not openly exempted
as a class, the result will be practi-
cally the same. Since the production
of ships will be given precedence over
the completion of the draft the ship
workers are shouldering a greater re-
sponsibility than even the army as
sumes, for upon them depends the
transportation of the army, munitions
and food.
1t is then no more than fair and
Just to the nation and to the soldiers
that the shipworkers be sifted down
to the most efficient, loyal and pro-
ductive men procurable. No laying
off should be permitted except in cases
of sickness, and men who have been
exempted for the sake of keeping up
our necessary war industries should
under no circumstances be allowe d to
strike even for a day. This should
apply to all war industries.
The new draft will leave behind
only those classed as essential to war
work. If they quit for any reason ex-
cept sickness they can be drafted inn

UNCONFIRMED REPORT
ABOUT CURLEY THOMPSON.

There was a rumor current among
railroad men Wednesday that Curley
Thompson has been killed on the bat
tie fields of France. Curley left here
early last spring for service over in
France. He enlisted in the tank serv-
ice, and remarked before leaving that
he hoped the tank he would drive had
no bacgward motion. He was an en-
gineer on the Great Northern for a
number of years and made Leaven-
worth his home. Many railroad men
are under the belief that the report
~ be untrue.

COUNCIL APPOINTS CITY CLERK

At special meeting of the city
council Wednesday evening, Nh f. 6.
Gowing was appointed city clerk to
succeed Geo. Blocksedge, who resign
ed at the last regular meeting. Ar
rangements were also concluded with
the Great Northern Lumber Co. to
join water mains, each with the other,
to the end that if the supply of either
is interrupted, both the city and the
mill company will not suffer in the
event of a fire, and to supply their
daily needs until repairs can be nsde.

THE PROBLEM

The big problem next year will be
drawing the line between essential
and non-essential industries. If the
war lasts longer than another year,
the non essential industries will be
practically eliminated. There will not
be the labor, the fuel or the material
accessible to keep these industries
running. However, it is the aim to
keep industries running as near nor
NAL as possible, and many industries
will be converted into war work of
some sort or other. or into other nee
essary production.
