WINNERS IN THE PRIMARY.

Judge Webster is the republican
nominee for congress by long lead.
Dill gained. the democratic nomina-
ton,
John A. Gellatly won in the race
for representative.
The race for county clerk was close
but the indications are that A. A.
Stevens won out.
Sheppard had no opposition for
county auditor, neither had Mr.. Fisher
for county treasurer.
w. F. Whitney ran ahead of Mr..
Pearson for county attorney.
E. G. Spencer for assessor, j. F.
Casebeer for superintendent of schools
f. NJ. Barry for engineer and A. j.
Templeton for coroner, had no opposi-
ton and are not likely to have in the
finals.
There were some votes cast for
democrats on the county ticket, and
under the law they have a right to
file for office, but whether they will
do so remains to be seen.
The rcgular election in November
will probably to very tame affair
and is therefore not likely to develope
large vote.

THE RED CROSS STACKER.

To the Editor, Leavenworth Echo,
Dear sir:-It is a regretable fact
that we have in Leavenworth today
many young women who bear this APP
pelation. The very few workers who
have kept the Red Cross alive in this
town are middle aged matrons who
have tearfully hidden farewell at our
depot to him whom they bore, nur-
tured and cherished to manhood, with
the love that only a woman can give,
sent him to fight your fight and NINE
mayhap to give his life, his all, that
you and | may live our lives in com
fort and happiness. 1t is your duty
to help to the utmost of your ability
to prepare the things that will clothe,
comfort, and staunch the wounds of
yonder bleeding boy-your own kith
and kin--lying on the battlefelds of
France. There are many young mar
ried women in Leavenworth without
the burden of family and many un-
married young women who could
greatly help the Red Cross if they so
desired Are they pro-German or is
it that they are so wrapped up in
themselves and their own selfish de-
sires that the. lives of ouf American
boys count as nothing How many
stockings have you knit? How many
bandages have you made? How many
hours have you spent on work in tho
Red Cross rooms. One may see on
the streets of Cashmere girls from
twelve to eighteen years of age knit
ting as they go along. This is seen
on the streets of Leavenworth. But
not young women, oh no! 1t is the
sad faced mothers whose boys are
somewhere over there. If you are
abstaining from this work without
good reason, you are false to your
self, to your country, and to the boy
fighting over there that your may be
free

VIM. VAN BROCKLIN
HAD NARROW ESCAPE.

Mr.. Van Brocklin, a member of the
X. & V. B. Hardware Co., had a mar
row escape from serious injury last
Saturday morning. He was repairing
a gasoline tank with the aid of one
of those gasoline torches used by
plumbers and melting the solder
around faucet. The gas which had
evidently not all been dreamed from
the tank, ignited, and exploded with
deafening roar, throwing Mr.. Van
Brocklin back some twenty feet, dam
aging the ceiling and completely
wrecking the tank. His face was
somewhat badly and painfully burned
but his eyes escaped serious injury.
He had SO far recovered from the
shock as to be back on his job at the
store Wednesday.

REV. c. A. HUFF RE-
TIRED AS MINISTER.

At the Columbia NJ. E. conference
held at Pendleton, Oregon, last week,
Mr.. Huff, who once lived here and
was pastor of the Methodist church.
declared he was through with the
ministry.
Rev. Mr.. Bumblay charged that the
Rev. c. A. Huff, formerly of Monitor
Wash, had abruptly left his charge,
ignored the church and told his official
board that he was through with the
ministry and the Methodist church.
A motion was made that Mr.. Huff be
requested to withdraw. Bishop Stunt
ruled that the charges were not in
writing and that they should be pre-
sented before trial

LETTERS FROM SOLDIER
BOYS

June 19, 1918
Suppose you'll wonder why | nave
MT written before. Well, | am get
ting to be like Max, it's hard for me
to find time to write.
Talk about your noise, right now
Oh my! It's a young 4th right over
our heads from both sides. The pret-
test whistling tune I've ever heard
and here | am just as safe as if l
were at home. We just pulled little
stunt on the old Hun and of course he
didn't like it very well, so sent over
some mail telling us about it. but
everytime they sent over one we send
back two. According to the papers
the Huns are getting it on all points
of the line. There NAV be points
where they break thru, which they do
with the loss of a great man lives,
even capture ground which is only
recaptured by the Allies in short
time.
We also read in the papers, about
troubles in Germany, well, the sooner
and the more troubles they have over
there and a few more heavy losses
the sooner I'll get back.
The airplanes are real busy over
head this morning, taking hand in
the affair. Believe me, when we get
all of those we want and get in run
ming order ourselves, why, the Kaiser
will sure regret the day he invited
us into this little game of his.
Received four packages of Meccas
and tow of Lucky Strike cigarettes
yesterday. This company came from
Waterbury, Conn.,, and the people
from there send them cigarettes every
once in awhile and since we are now
in the company we get in on them.
There's nothing like cigarette to
quiet fellows nerves, especially in
this kind of game. Have smoked
more cigarettes since I've been in the
army than ever before.
Well the big show for this morning
is over so guess I'll hit the hay.
June Gath.
Basil ought to be over here running
one of these French engines. They're
about half as large as the goat in
Leavenworth (No. 11). Got whistle
on them like a peanut wagon. We're
getting some of the small type U. S.
engines over here to take the place of
the French engines. Some difference,
I'll say. Nearly all narrow gauge
railroads, a few 3-4 standard roads
and then we also have a real Ameri-
can road. Makes fellow feel home
sick when we see real American en-
gines and coaches go by.
| Am writing this in the trenches
along the American sector. This is
my first hitch and isn't half bad. If
/ it doesn't get any worse than I've had
it so far, everything will be alright,
for everytime the Boche starts any
thing along here, he gets the worst of
it. In a few days my hitch will be up,
then back we go again to rest up for
awhile.
Talk about rats. Say, they're about
one fourth the size of Bobbie At
night when you hear one of them
prowling around you'd think there
was an army coming. Don't bother
a fellow very much outside of chewing
up few things.
Next to bother us we have the
cooties, call samee greybacks" and
believe me they sure poster a fellow

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
GREATEST EVER OFFERED
Its Prompt Taking by the People of
This Country Will Add to Dis
comfort of Enemy and Bring
War to an End Sooner.

Declaring that the floating of the
fourth Liberty Loan will be the great
est piece of financing ever undertaken
in this or any other country, yet voic-
ing his confidence in its success,
George X. Weeks, of San Francisco,
General Campaign Manager of the
Fourth Liberty Loan for the Twelfth
Federal Reserve district, paid flying
visit to Seattle recently to inspect
Washington's arrangements for handl-
ing its quota.
Manager Weeks expressed his salts
faction at the progress of the Wash
ington State Central Committees or
ganization and at the excellent reports
from all parts of the state telling of
the preparations to put all the coun-
ties over the top.
Elaborate plans are in formation
for parades, music, speechmaking and
various patriotic demonstrations to
arouse the people to the necessity of
fully subscribing the Fourth issue.
Soldiers and sailors from nearby
cantonments and forts will in general
be available for Liberty Loan pur-
poses and all departments of the arm
ed forces of the United States arc
ready to cooperate with the Iibetry
Loan committees, the government of
ficers have assured.
On leaving Seattle where he had
been in conference with the state COM
mittee officials, Campaign Manager
Weeks issued the following statement
addressed to the people of Washing
ton:
"The floating of the Fourth Libcr-
ty Loan will be the greatest piece of
financing ever undertaken in this or
any other country. We should not
underestimate the task before US, but
it can, and | am absolutely confident
it will be accomplished thru the organ
ization which has been perfected and
the universal response from Ihr IL
triotic citizens which we anticipate.
In addition to the unprecedented
size of the loan, which will probably
amount to $6,000,000,000, we must
Il slnIy lace the fact that the calls
on the banks during the past year
have been such that they cannot be
expected to absorb any large amount
of these long term securities. Corpor-
ations also have already subscribed
to such an extent and are facing such
large requirements in the matter of
taxes that the demands of their per-
sonal business limit the amount which
they can permanently invest in Liber-
ty bonds. This places the RESPONSE
bility squarely on the shoulders of the
individual and means that all citizens,
the rich and those of moderate cir
cumstances alike, must subscribe to a
much larger extent than ever before
to an extent which really involves
sacrifice.
From the standpoint of the indus
trial needs of the government as well
as from the standpoint of the Liberty
loan, the most rigid economy on the
part of all citizens has now become
essential. When the president COM
mitted the country, with the acquies-
scence of congress, to the policy of
throwing the utmost strength of the
nation into the war thru an extension
of draft ages and otherwise, for the
purpose of bringing the war to a
speedy and successful conclusion,

BRITISH LABOR.

The broadminded spirit displayed
by capital and labor in England as a
whole, has settled the industrial prob
lem for that country, There have
been occasional disputes, but nothing
like this country has endured. The
real evidence of the success of the
British plan of open shop is the enor-
nous supplies of munitions that they
have produced for their army.

SAW MILL CLOSED; BOX
MILL RUN UNTIL OCTOBER

Mr. N. Coleman was in town yester-
day and said the saw mill on the hill
south of town closed down Tuesday
for this season. Altho the run this
year was shorter than last, he cut
three and a half million of logs, or al
most twice as much as last season.
The timber has all been cut in that
vicinity and the mill will be moved
this fall to a new location, which has
not yet been decided on.
The box mill, says Harry Wall, will
run until we'll into October, having an
ample supply of lumber on hand.

Editor LeavenwoTth Echo;
When | read that suggestion about
electing women to run the city,
laughed, but on second thot, it would
not be bad, as | am sure the women
would never allow such an outfit as
the so-called Carnival" in town nor
would they allow so much booze sold
to our school boys.

hold the last of their foes within their
grasp. They have not only proven
their mettle as soldiers. but they
equally have shown their fine quality
as men,. For all this We surely should
return thanks to Almighty God.
And now that the clouds Of war
have lifted, humanity faces new

war there come clearer than ever
before two shining ideas that shall
rule the world-the Fatherhood of
