LOOKIKNG FOR PROMISING MIN
ING PROPERTY.

Mr.. J. S. Bingler from Seattle,
interested in mining matters, was
here this week. In conversation with
a man from the Echo he said he
was on his way to the country
above lake Wenatchee, and had sew
eral properties in view that he would
inspect. Just now there is consider
able activity in the mining world
and man with a good prospect
may turn it to account. Mines
carrying silver are in demand just
now. The long expected revival in
silver mining is about to materialize.
Lawrence and Grover Dickinson
returned last week from the coast
where they spent the winter, and
have again taken up their residence
on a homestead in the White river
valley. Speaking of the coast
country Lawrence, who was here
Wednesday, said he never expected
to spend the winter on the Sound
again. He preferred the snow of
the Cascades to the everlasting rain
and gloom of the sound country.

AUTO OVER THE BANK AND
INTO RIVER.

On Wednesday morning We
natchee man, unable to get his name,
stopped his car on the bank one and
a half miles east of town, on the
grade near where the Icicle water
pipe crosses the Wenatchee river. He
got out to crank his car, leaving
young man in the car, and asked him
to set the brake. Instead of setting
the brake he set the reverse in mo-
ton and it backed down over the
bank Some way the boy got out,
but the machine turned over five or
six times before it struck the water
and then went almost out of sight.
Those who have seen it say it was
about the most completely wrecked
machine they ever saw.

"IHt nOUSt Nt4I DOOR'
At the Scenic, Wednesday Night,
April 24-fOr Benefit of
Red Cross.

At the present time every patriotic
citizen is engaged in Red Cross work.
During the past few months card
parties and similar attractions have
been given for the purpose of help
ing along this work. An unusual
way is now opened for those who
wish to contribute their bit. BY at
tending "The House Next Door" you
will not only be assisting worthey
cause but will witness a very inter
esting entertainment as well.
The theme of this comedy is bas-
ed on the inherent enmity between
the Jews and the Gentiles. The
story centers around the house of
Jacobson, rich Jew and that of
Sir John Cotswold, an aristocratic,
but poor English family.
At school, Cecil Cotswold, who is
a music student, is saved from fl
nancial embarrassment thru the gen
erosity of Sir Isaac, who loans him
thousand pounds.
The father, learning of this, and
already disgusted at the turn affairs
have taken now, finds to his chagrin
that Cecil is in love with the win
some Miss johnson. Still further
complications arise when he learns
that his own beautiful daughter is
about TO fall prey, as he considers
it, to the flattering intrigues of the
same family.
The remainder of the comedy is
the working out of this plot, the
cast consisting of several members
of the faculty of our school, as well
as some of the best talent among
our townspeople. The players are
being ably coached by Mrs. A. S.
Jenson, while Mr. Walter Koerner
has kindly consented to act as Stage
manager. The music for the evening
will be furnished by Mrs. Mu'le1,
and by the High School orchestR8

NAVAL RESERVE BAND IN
LEAVENWORTH

The bluejacket band of 40 pieces,
attached to the Naval Reserve in
training on the University of Wash
ington campus, is touring the state
in the interest of the Third Liberty
Loan.
This band reached Leavenworth
Tuesday afternoon on train No. 29
at 2:15 P. NJ, was met by one of
the largest crowds in the history of
the town and escorted to the park
where it furnished splendid music
for a fine Liberty Loan Rally.
1t had been advertised that several
speakers were accompanying the
band but at the last moment it was
announced that they had been called
elsewhere by the Government from
Spokane. Many had hoped to hear
Major Gordon (Ralph Connor) SO
the disappointment was keen, but
Mr.. Chas Mayberry who accompanies
the band as its manager, and Mr.,
w. o. Dow of Wenatchee made
splendid addresses and undoubtedly
convinced many doubling ones that
they should lend their money to
their Uncle Sam.
After the speaking the band par
AIDED on Front Streen for the benefit
of the crowd and made fine ap-
pearance. At the conclusion of the
parade and the playing of the Star
Spangled Banner during which every
one stood with bare head, the crowd
gave three rousing cheers. The band
boys then left for Cashmere in autos
furnished by local citizens.

TO HIS BROTHER BOB


Well Rob, the censor is not as
strict as usual so | am going to try
and let you know as near as | can
what the 10th Engineers of Forestry
are doing as their share toward put
ing the finishing touches on Kaiser
Bill. l did not do much building
the first four months while in the
army but since then | have helped
put up saw mills, stores, houses,
mess halls and most everything that
goes to make up first class camp.
Things are sure kept sanitary
around our camp. Our company
has got two mills; one bolter mill
and one up-to-date circular saw mill.
We have built about miles of mar
row gauge r. r. and what was once
forest is now humming with saw
mills, locomotives, tractors and every
thing has a look of get-there-in-a
hurry-spirit of America. We are
still in tents but have boarded up
the sides so it is just like a room
We also have electric lights in all
the tents so you can see Uncle Sam
does not neglect the comfort of his
men over here. The mills are 60
ing to run night and day soon. We
have fine weather here, very similar
to the climate of eastern Washing

FRED AUSTIN WRITES FROM
UTICA, NEW YORK.

Mr., and Mrs. Chas Eckhart are in
receipt of a letter from their son,
Fred r. Austin who is now stationed
at Utica, New York, where, with a
number of others he was recently
transferred from San Antonio, Texas.
Along with others he is to take a
course of instructions in the opera
ton and tactical use of the new
Lewis machine gun for the purpose
of becoming an instructor. From
there he writes, eve go to Fairfield,
Ohio, to take a course in the Vickers
machine gun, and from there to
France to take a three weeks course
in bombs, and by that time we will
be fitted to instruct aerial gunners
in the use of machine guns and
bombs. The New York Red Cross
certainly treats the boys royalty.
They gave 'em complete outfit as
they do all the boys, consisting of
two pairs of soX, a sweater, muffler,
cap, helmet, bag, and housewife con-
tanning soap, shaving soap, tooth
powder, pencils, paper, cards, tobacco,
pins, needles, thread, scissors and
thimble. While here we stop at a
hotel and put in from $50 a. m. to
4:30 p. m. at the Savage Arms Co.
plant. After that our time is our
own.

Beating up Livery Man Costs them
S110 in Magistrate Reynolds
Court.

An auto loaded with five or six
men came down from Blewett Mon
day evening and stopped at the
Brown livery barn. They had evil
IDENTIFY been in contact with John
Barleycorn and in a fighting humor
as they soon got into an alteration
with an employee of the barn. The
proprietor interfered with the ersult
that they jumped on him and used
him rather roughly. The noise drew
a crowd and attracted an officer who
put the bunch behind the bars, where
they languished until Tuesday eve
ming when they had a trial before
Police Magistrate Reynolds. AL
Briddlescombe, who seemed from the
testimony to be the leader, drew a
$50 fine. His brother, Frank, and
Guy D Olsen each got $25, and
Harry Cooper was let off with a SO
fine.
From the testimony it appeared
that the whole bunch came here
from Montana a short time ago,
and last Saturday or Sunday they
were joined by two friends who
drove from Montana here in a car,
which is believed to have brought a
considerable quantity of liquor, as
previous to their arrival the camp
was known to have been very dry,
but Immediately after the arrival
of the car from Montana the odor
of booze was on mems breath, also
it was noticed that some had sudden
ly developed running off at the
mouth, (sure signs).
Effirt to round up the booze or
get sufficient evidence to arrest any
one on a booze charge, failed how
ever. All those who were fined
promptly paid up.
Frank Meeks, for being drunk on
the street last Sunday was arrested
and remained in Jail Monday when
he was brought into court and fined
$25. He was given the alternative
of buying a. $50 liberty bond.

SOMETHING TO INTEREST FRUIT
AND VEGETABLE GROWERS
The Proper Storage of the Products
of the Farm-Government Ex-
pert Ready to Help.

Recently Mr.. Charles w. Mann, of
the Bureau of Markets United States
Department of Agriculture, was sent
to Wenatchee to investigate the farm
storage situation for the storing of
apples. He was so well pleased
with the work being done that he
determined at once to have an ex-
pert come to Chelan county and spend
whatever time is necessary to assist
the growers in their plans for farm
storage buildings to insure them that
they will have the highest efficiency
when completed. Since the govern
ment has no definite plans or spe
cifications to furnish to persons
putting up such structures and since
an oversight in some of the minor
details of ventilation may mean a con-
slant loss on every box of apples or
vegetables stored Mr.. Mann has re-
quested that any person wanting help
send a written request to the County
agent, Wenatchee, Wash. in the very
near future. The County Agent
will file all requests and as soo,i
as the expert arrives all persons
desiring assistance will receive per-
sonal visit and assistance right on
his farm.
Mr.. w. c. Quick will be here to
handle this work next week begin
ming April 2S and according to in
structions will remain here as long
as his services are required.
