FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT
AGENT FOR LEAVFNWORTh
|. F. Hutchings in Charge of Office
Will Put Up Bulletin Board.

Stopping to talk few moments
with Mr.. Hutchings yesteray we
learned that he had been appointed
Federal Employment agent and mems
to do what he can to help for those
wanting men, and get jobs for those
out of work. He says he will put
up bulletin board for the benefit of
job hunters, as well as those wanting
men. The opening of spring work
on the ranches and in the orchards
will give employment to men who fol-
low that line of occupation. Any
one in town wanting help of any kind
can phone Mr.. Hutchings and if he
has someone on the waiting list who
will fill the want there can be supplied
without delay. All those who want
work should register with Mr.. Hutch
ings. In this way much good can
be accomplished.

ing story. Every stage of apple
growing, planting orchards, spraying,
picking, packing and shipping. The
name "Apple Blossom Land" was
evidently an inspiration from the
apple blossoms shown on the screen,
for they are superb, and are shown
both on the whole tree and with a
closeup view, large size; as they
wave in the breeze it makes a very
pretty sight indeed.
The film is one of what is known
as the Pathe Educational Series, this
concern making it a part of its SER
vice to supply this type of picture.
The circulation of apple Blossom
Land" will therefore be over all
America, presenting the Northwest
as great apple producing country
to an enormous number of individuals
1t is worth noting too, that captions
throughout the picture throw light
on the improved methods of apple
culture in the Pacific Northwest-and
it is quite the fact that the section
has led the way in the science and
art of apple growing.

WHY CAN NOT OUR MINERS FIND
SOMETHING HERE.

Last weeks Riverside, Okanagan
county Tribune, told about a deposit
of magnesite, made immensely valu-
able by the war, having been dis
covered there two weeks ago by Bob
Galbraith and H. A. Huntly, about
four miles north of town near the old
Silver King mine. Not being sure
of the quality of their new discovery
the boys mailed samples of the ore to
Spokane and other points in order to
find out its worth. The answer they
received was in the form of a gentle
man who arrived in town the latter
part of last week and after thoroughly
examining the property made the
boys such a staggering offer on a
ninety days option for their property
that they accepted it at once.
Surely there is some valuable min
eral in the hoary old hills surround
ing this town. We have been shown
hundreds of specimens of mineral
that have been taken from some hill
side five, ten or twenty miles from
Leavenworth. That each specimen
contained metal of some kind there is
no doubt, and that some of it was of
kind that the world wants there
is just as little doubt, the trouble
was, or is, it did not fall into the right
hands, into the hands of some expert
who had knowledge of mineral values.
New minerals have recently been dis
covered, and new and additional uses
for some old and well known metals
have been discovered. The opportu-
mites for the prospector and mining
venturer were never more promising.

FROM SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE.

Engineer VIM. Yate writes to F. E.
Carlquist, under date of April End:
Just line for old time sake. ]
suppose you have looked for a line
long ago, but l have not written to
anybody except one letter to Tom
Nolan, outside of my wife. l have
been moving from place to place with
little chance to write. But at last
we are settled for a while at least.
| am running an engine in stone
quarry just back of the trenches. We
are very comfortably located. Six
of us in a 14x14 tent, with plenty to
eat and wear. l would not care to
miss it. We have plenty of excite
ment-watching air raids during the
day and the flashes of the big guns
at night is wonderful sight. France
is wonderful country. They cele-
brate every day the same as we
would the 4th of July. Big noise
during the day and all kinds of fire
works at night.
We are blessed with a fine climate
here much the same as Puget Sound.
The conditions here are not nearly as
hard as we were told they were. The
most disagreeable thing here is the
mud during the winter months and to
keep dry. The farmers here have
nearly all their seeding done. The
past two weeks has been the finest
kind of weather.
Wishing you and your family the
very best of health and luck, / remain
and shall remain your pail

THE ROYAL DEVELOPMENT CO.'S
MANAGER HERE.

Mr.. Jas Naughten returned yester-
day from Butte, Montana, where he
spent the winter. He was accom-
panied by John Manley who last year
was employed by Mr.. Naughten' COM
pany, The Royal Development Co.,
as mining foreman. Mr.. Naughten
says the Royal Development Co. will,
as soon as the roads are opened to
the property, pursue an active line of
development and give employment a
number of men. At this time the
road is in fairly good condition for
travel as far as Chikamin creek. In
places, he is told by the company's
local representative, Mr.. Cook, that
the road will have to be cleared of
trees, indicating that at some time
during the winter there was consider
able high wind in the Red Mountain
region.

TYE HAS BOY SCOUT co. WHY
CAN NOT LEAVENWORTH
HAVE ONE.

On good authority we learn that Tye
has an excellent and well drilled scout
company. The boys have fine flag
and raise it at sunrise every morning
and lower it at sundown with regula-
tion ceremony. Al Pesch, formerly
of this place, is scout master and has
given the boys lessons in military
drill. There is no question but that
the spirit of loyalty and patriotism,
cultivated in the youth of the land,
leaves an impression that never fades.
Leavenworth has the material for
a company of from forty to fifty boys
from ID to 18 years old. 1t only
needs some one with redblooded en-
thusiasm and little time to organize
them into company of boy scouts.

A REAL MOONSHINE STILL
FOUND NEAR Gle ELUM
Matt Kauzlarich, Member of Council,
Owned the Outfit Taken While
in Operation.

Just across the mountains, by way
of Blewett, lies Gle Elum, the Echo
of that town in last Fridays issue
said:
AS the result of an early morning
r..'d, and discovery of an illicit liquor
sill in the hills just northeast of the
city early Saturday morning, City
Councilman Matt Kauzlarich is today
appearing in the United States court
at Yakima to answer to a charge of
ownership of the outfit while Frank
Starcovich is charged with being an

had a preliminary hearing before U.
S. Commissioner Pruyn at Ellensburg
Monday afternoon and Kalzlarich was
released on bail of $4,000. Bail of
$1,000 was fixed for the latter but he
is in jail at Yakima, being unable to
furnish it. The grand jury is in ses-

GOOD TESTIMONY FOR RED
CROSS
Leavenworth, Wash. May 8 1913

Leavenworth, Wash. May 8 1918
To the Editor of The Echo:
People sometimes wonder where the
Red Cross money goes, and does it
really reach the vital spot.
Here is what one man says who
knows: Corporal Cecil V. Hall former
ly of Leavenworth and one of the sur
vivors of the Tuscania which was
torpeodoed by German sub, writing
from a rest camp somewhere in Eng
land, said this:
"You folks at home need not be
afraid to give your money to the Red
Cross for they sure do all that they
claim and more" and it was the Red
Cross that helped them even ahead of
Uncle Sam. Corporal Hall says that
they lost all of their belongings ex-
cept what they had on their persons.
And that the Red Cross furnished
them with sweaters, socks, towels
and clothing which they so badly
needed until they could get re-out-
fitted again by the war department.
This is but one instance, we know,
but it is first hand from over there
and shows that the boys appreciate
what the Red Cross is doing.
So say, Boost for the Red Cross.
Yours truly,
A. T. Eickmeyer

I. w. w. AND KINDRED ISMS T
BE STAMPED OUT.

Following the lead of the national
law makers the city council of Spo-
kane recently passed laws so that
Spokane will not again be a breeding
place for this seditious organiza-
ton, according to members of
the city council. The fiat has gone
forth that the l. w. w. is not only
to be suppressed but stamped out en-
tirely. In addition to raiding three
halls, where the agitators formerly
had headquarters and throwing so of
them into Jail, the authorities have
continued systematic search in other
secret rendezvous in a dwelling
house where several agitators were
arrested and a big quantity of litera-
ture confiscated.
Then the city coucil passed criml-
nal syndicalism ordinance, sweeping
in its nature and giving the police de-
partment every power which had been
hoped for to crush out any semblance
of the seditious organization and to
close any building or premises of any
kind rented or used for such purposes.
The Chamber or Commerce, Ad
Club and other organizations which
have keenly felt the unenviable atti-
tude in which Spokane was regarded
by outside communities are taking
much satisfaction from the following
letter written to the Chamber of Com
merce by the city clerk:
"The city council instructs me to
acknowledge with thanks the receipt
of your communication to date, and to
further inform you that so far as its
authority extends it will enforce the
laws against all offenders. The
Council had hoped that this matter
would be handled by some authority
with wider jurisdiction than the Ii
mits of Spokane, but will not be hin
dered from doing its whole duty by
this territorial restriction"

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE.

Six weeks of training for school
teachers and eight weeks of special
instruction in war grades for three
hundred enlisted soldiers will supple
ment each other at the State College
in June and July, according to plans
which have been under consideration
for some time and may now be con-
sidered definite.
The soldiers are to be trained in such
mechanical work as automobile en-
gineering, blacksmithing, carpentry,
general mechanics, and wireless teleg-
raphy. The contract which the col
lege will have with the government,
according to present expectation, will
call for the training of the soldiers
to begin June 1st and continue to
August 1st, which is two weeks long
er than the session for the teachers
which opens on June 81 and continues
for six weeks.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
POOR cow AND A GOOD cow.

1t is we'll known that dairy cows,
to be profitable, must be comparative
ly large producers, yet few people
fully realize the remarkable rate at
which income advances as production
increases. Tabulations af 5,587 cow
testing association records from var
ious parts of the United States cover
ing period of four years, show that
as the average butterfat production
increased from $50 to 200 pounds,
the income over cost of feed advanced
from S21 to $34; that is, gain of so
pounds, or 1914 per cent, in produc-
ton gave an increased income of 62
per cent over the feed cost. The next
gain of SO pounds raised the income
over the cost of the feed to $50, the
next to $63, the next to STA, the next
to S87, the next to $1O0 and the last
to $118.
AS the butterfat production increas-
ed from $50 pounds to 300 pounds,
the income over cost of feed advanced
from $21 to $63; in other words, as
production doubled, income over cost
of feed advanced three times. When
the butterfat production increased
from $50 pounds to 450 pounds-that
is, trebled-the income over the cost
of feed advanced from $21 to 500,
or almost five times as much.

1t is not purposed here to add to
the reasons given by the business
men of Leavenworth why each and
every one of us should give, and give
freely, cheerfully, further than to say.
that to refuse to give now would be
to turn our back on all the American
people started out to do. To make
the world safe for peoples who be-
lieve in governments such as ours, in
other words, to use the language of
the immortal Lincoln, in order "that
government of the people, by the
people and for the people should not
perish"

THE RARE METAL BILL.

A bill is being put through Con-
gress appropriating fifty million dol
lars to develop the production of the
rare metals about which little is
known by the general public but
which play an important part in war
materials.
In order to make the United States
independent of the world during war
time by production of necessary ores,
such as tungsten molybdenum, g1a-
phite and manganese, bill was favor
ably reported by the House mines
committee.
The measure is also intended to en-
able the government to conse, 'e the
supply control and distribution. and,
if necessary, to fix The price Of these
materials.
The bill is approved by the Sec
retaries of War, Navy and interior,
and practically every man who ap-
peared before the committee indorsed
the bill. The report of the house
committee says: "If proper encour
agement is given the producers of
these metals, most of them, if not
all, can be developed in our own
country for our needs for the army
and navy and for the necessities in
civil life"

THE NORTHWESTERN APPLE
ORCHARDS SHOWN IN MOVIES
Apple Blossom time Filmed-Will Be
Shown all over the Country in
Pathe Pictures

The Pacific Northwest is now being
christened before millions of Ameri-
cans, apple Blossom Land" The
millions are Pathe picture audiences
in the movies, and the enchanting
headline "Apple Blossom Land" runs
with a film which depicts the apple
industry of this section. The Pathe
agents approached the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange of Seattle about a
year ago, and every facility was at
once given them, not only that but
the cost of the film borne by The Ex-
change to assure that the story of
the big red apple be properly depict
ed and to accomplish all the impora-
ed and to accomplish all the import
ant consequences of such an effort,
for the Exchange quickly figured the
Importance of a moving picture of the
apple of the Northwest screened night
after night before practically all
America. 1t meant advertising of
the most important type on waste
scale
1--WE do things in advertising to
make ourselves talked about" said
the publicity manager of a great rail-
road corporation which spends more
money in advertising than any two
other railroads combined. And this is
in part the basis of such advertising
as apple Blossom Land" run in the
movies.
at is a question of pounding and
pounding home the idea into the
American public that we have here
the finest apples in the world" said
the publicity manager of the Ex-
change. "We want this section talk
ed about as Americas apple land
What that means in terms of desire
and demand for Northwestern apples
and the price and stability of our in
dustry it takes a little imagination
to understand. But the time is COM
ing when apples from the Northwest
will be anticipated and expected by
all Americans as much as they ex-
pect and demand oranges from Cali
fornia. This movie screen, which is
absolutely the very first effort of
the kind, is very important to orchard
owners and all the Northwest bust
ness interests related thereto. 1t is
worth emphasizing that never before
has an apple screen been shown in
the movies"
The story of the apple as told in
apple Blossom Land" is full of
human interest. First it shows the
sage brush prarie with the distant
mountains; then there comes the In
dian in all his primitive wildness.
Now comes the prarie schooner with
its pioneers. The leader of the party
points to the SHOWS in the mountains
and prophesies that some day that
water will be on the land and it will
be rich in fruits and grains. Then
is shown the melting SHOWS in the
mountain ranges and the tumbling
waters, followed by a grand irriga-
ton scene. II is all a most interest

THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN AND
THE NEWSPAPERS.

The relation of the newspapers of
the country to the Liberty Loan and
other governmental efforts is express
ed in the telegram of Secretary Nc
Adoo to the editors assembled in New
York last week in attendance on the
meeting of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association.
"Will you be good enough to ex-
press to the members of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
now in session, my sincere and warm
appreciation of the great service they
have rendered to their country by
their consistant, unselfish, and patient
support of the successive Liberty
Loans, which have been offered by the
Treasury Department.
"These loans could not have sue
ceeded without the support of the
newspapers, and it gives me great
pleasure to make this acknowledge
ment. An enlightened public opinion
is the chief asset of democracy. BY
keeping the people of America in
formed on public events and trans
mitting word of the financial and
other needs of the government, the
American newspapers have performed
a public and incalculable service which
will be continued, and that the news
papers will do their full share in as
sisting America to win this war for
democracy and justice.
