TOM PARISH GETS BETTER JOB

Tom Parish, who makes his home in
Cashmere, but is we'll known to the
people of Leavenworth, having been
road supervisor over this district for
several years, has been made County
Superintendent of Construction by the
board of County Commissioners, and
in the future will have charge and
oversee all the road and bridge con-
struction in the county. Mr.. Parish
is a good roads enthusiast and is well
fitted for the job given him, and the
county is fortunate in securing his
services.
Petitions are being circulated in We
natchee asking that the flu ban be
raised in that city. Only small num-
Der of cases have been reported of late
according to the petitions and the dan
ger is believed to be over. Owing to
the flu the Wenatchee schools did not
open last year and as yet there has not
been day of school.

THE WESTERN UNION OFFICE
SHOULD BE MOVED

That the Western Union office
should be moved from the depot to
some office closer to the business dis
trict is the opinion expressed by many
of the business people. Under the
present arrangement the telegraph
business is attended to by railroad
employees and is not given the atten-
tioin that it should have. For several
months the practice of delivering
messages has been done away with
and to save the cost of delivery they
are phoned out. Every week the Echo
hears complaints against the service,
of messages being held for eight and
ten hours before delivery. The pres
ent force in the depot are not to be
blamed, however, as they are over
worked, without taking care of the
Western Union business. There is
further reason for complaint in the
fact that there are always from six
to eight employees in the railroad Of
flee and the phoning out of messages
gives no privacy to this class of busi-
ness. On account of the railroad bus
mess those going to the office fire.
quently have to wait from ten to fif-
teen minutes before the operator can
find time to attend to their wants.
The people of Leavenworth are en-
titled to better service and an effort
should be made in this direction.

Big SEATTLE STRIKE
NO NEARER AN END
Vote May Be Taken By Labor Bodies
In Council for General Strike

At late hour last night the strike
situation in Seattle, where 10000 ship
workers are affected, had not changed.
Several efforts have been made by dis
interested parties to ADJUST the differ
ences, but thus far neither the EN-
ployers nor men have made move
towards settling the strike. An effort
is being made to take referendum
vote among the labor bodies for a gen
eral strike.
The minimum wage in the shipyards
has been $4.64. The strikers demand
a scale allowing So. 81 and Sc for
mechanics, helpers and laborers, re-
spectively. The new scale of wages
would be the highest in the world for
this class Of work. The strikers, it
seems, are endeavoring to interest
discharged army and navy men in
their behalf, but are not meeting with
much success according to reports.
There have been no riots thus far and
the men are coducting themselves in
an orderly manner.
Both the strikers and employers are
stubborn and an early compromise
does not appear to be in sight. With
the strikers there are more than 40,-
900 idle men in the state.

BIG NEW ROUNDHOUSE
TALKED OF FOR SPRING
Officials Say That RumOr is Afloat
That Much Improvement Work Is
Planned for This Year.

For several years past the people
of Leaven worth have been led to be-
lieve by rumors that have been circu-
lated about town, that new round
house would be built the coming sum-
mer. Thus far all rumors have failed
to materialize.
This spring, however, railroad men
generally are of the belief that the
coming summer will see much i'm
provement work, which will include
the building of new roundhouse of
brick or concrete construction to ac-
commodate some thirty or forty en-
gines of the mallet type, and in addi-
tion to this the yard tracks will be ex-
tended in the direction of the Chum-
stick. The site of the proposed new
roundhouse, plans for which are said
to be ready, is near the eastern limits
of the city.
One of the local railroad officials
told an Echo reporter the past week
that Vice President Gruber, who
passed thru here on tour of inspec-
ton about four months ago, remarked
that new roundhouse would be built
at this point the coming summer.
The facilities for handling railroad
equipment, especially the big locomo-
tives, is and has been very poor for
several wears, and a good part of the
time the big mallets are kept stand
ing in the yards because there is no
place to house them. This is not in
keeping with the railroad company's
policy. This and also the fact that
things generally are in rundown
condition leads railroad men to believe
that work on new structures will COM
mence at an early date.

WOULD MARKET BETTER
.I'GRADES OF GULL APPLES
Chelan County Representative Intro.
duces New Bill in Legislature
OF Interest to Growers

A blow at waste of apples is aimed
by John Gellatly of Wenatchee in a
bill introduced in the house to modi-
fy the horticultural law so as to per-
nit growers to market the better
grade of Gull apples. The Gellatly
bill would permit apples slightly af-
fected by larva of codling moth or
scab to be marketed in a crate of
standard apple box size, but with
Slated sides, and ends stenciled with
letters at least one inch high, Gull
apples" and giving the variety and
number of apples in that box.
"These apples are better than the
c grade of apples which sell for 81
to s1.50 a box" said Mr.. Gelattly.
zone theory ofthe present law is
that the sale of Gull apples will inter
fere with the marketing of unblem-
ished fruit, and the other is that the
apple grower will be less diligent in
spraying and caring for his trees if
ther is a good market for Gull apples.
I deny both of these contentious"
Thousands of people are not per-
mitted to eat apples at all for the
simple reason that this class of apples
is required to be practically destroyed,
and higher grades are too expensive
for them to buy"
Senator Ferryman will introduce
the bill in the senate.

DEATH OF MRS. c. c. JOHNSON

The remains of Mrs. ChaS. Johnson,
who died at the Providence hospital in
Seattle Monday, arrived here the fol-
lowing day and were inferred in the
local cemetery on Wednesday. Mrs.
johnson, who had been in failing
health for some time, has been on the
Coast for several months, where she
was receiving special treatment for a
dropsical condition. She gradually be-
came weaker, however, and the end
was not unexpected. Besides hus-
band she leaves five small boys and
an eight days old girl, who is not ex-
pected to live. The case is an un-
usually sad one and the family have
the sympathy of the whole community
in their hour of bereavement. Mr..
johnson, who has been living on the
Coast during his wife's illness, expects
to return to Leavenworth and again
take up his employment with the rail-
road company.

AN UNUSUAL WINTER

Almost every year Leavenworth ex-
periences a different kind of weather.
So far this year we have had very
little snow, there being less than eight
inches on the ground at the present
time. For the past ten days it has
rained almost constantly. Two snow
falls, of about six inches each time,
occurred, but melted very rapidly.
Just preceding the rainy weather
Leavenworth was treated to a week of
zero weather, all of which is unusual
for this time of year. What will fol-
low the rain is problematical.

she said was a great cooperative
movement, the principles of which she
intimated were along socialistic lines.
She would not answer when asked if
her work involved steps against the
Russian government of today.
Want CzechO- Slovak Soldiers
Russian socialists do not desire al
lied troops in Siberia, Madame Bresh-
skovskaya declared. Russian people
want the Czecho-Slovak soldiers, she
asserted.
"The coming of Czecho-Slovak SOL
diers would be welcomed by the people
Just as they would welcome Christ as
a deliverer," she said. The only order
existing today in Russia is that which
has been established wherever these
troops gained foothold. | hope some
day to lead President Masaryk, of the
Czecho- -Slovaks, on tour of Russia
so that he may educate our people to
the true standard of democracy"
When asked if she knew alleged
Bolsheviki were working in America,
Madame BFeshskovskaya smiled and
acted as if she thot her questioner
was joking.
"Bolsheviki in America?" she said.
"You do not know what bolsheviki are.
They may be working against the gov
ernment, and they may be bolsheviki
sympathizers, but they are not the
bolsheviki destroyers of Russia. Boil
sheviki are bolsheviki wherever they
are"
Madame Breshskovskaya was taken
on an automobile tour of Seattle. "The
green grass is wonderful" she ex-
claimed. cover in Russia all is desc
late. Does America ever have win
ter?"
Madame Breshskovskaya leaves
here Tuesday. She said tonight she
expected to go direct to Washington.
Later she will visit Boston.

TRAIN SERVICE INTERRUPTED

The first interruption in the train
service of any consequence occurred
yesterday, due to a washout near In
dex on the west slope. The trains
were delayed some twelve hours and
there are reasons for believing that
they will not be on schedule time for
many days to come. Small sIides are
numerous all along the lin and on the
west slope floods are giving the rail-
road officials much trouble.

APPLE SHIPMENTS $500 CARS

Up to date more than $500 car
loads of apples have been shipped
out of the Wenatchee Valley accord
ing to the Wenatchec Daily World
On an average of twelve carloads a
day are still being shipped and the
prices continue to go higher. The best
varieties are now bringing $3.50 and
$3.50 box and a strong demand pre-
walls. The past year was most pros
porous one for the fruitgrower and as
a result much activity in fruit land is
expected. The coming year promises
to be equally as good if not better than
last year, as the fruit outlook is eX-
ceptionally good.

GRANDMOTHER OF RUSSIAN
REVOLUTION IN SEATTLE
Hunted Down by the Bolshevik She
Made her Escape by Way of Siberia
Has Message for Socialists.

Catherine Breshskovskaya, known
in Europe by the name of Grand
mother of the Russian revolution" ar
rived in Seattle last Sunday from the
Orient on the Japanese liner Kama
Maru.
When landing on the dock she re-
marked, as it leally true? Am l in
America with my friends at last 2"
She was met on the dock by dele
CATION from the Seattle branch of the
Bohemian National Alliance.
Among the friends was Miss Helen
Stuart Dudley, a Boston settlement
worker, who came here to accom-
pany Madame Breshskovskaya across
the continent to Boston and Washing
ton. Madame Breshskoskaya and Miss
Dudley, it is said, have known each
other for years.
"The little grandmother" as her
friends here called her, celebrated her
list birthday January 18th while
crossing the Pacific. Her fellow pas
sengers aboard the liner learned of the
date and arranged special birthday
dinner, followed by speeches and a
dance.
MADAME Breshskovskaya responded
to the toasts, and was an interested
spectator at the dance" her fell
low passengers said. "She told us of
bits of her life work for the Russian
revolution, and of her years of exile
in Siberia. She was reticent, how
ever, in talking about her mission to
America"
To Tell Needs of Russia
Madame Breshskovskaya, in an in
terview here, said she came to Amer
lea to tell the people of the United
States that help is needed for 4,000,-
900 Russian orphans and 100000
Russian illiterates.
Money is needed, she declared. If
help is not forthcoming at once any
govrnment that is set up in Russia
will fail.
''To this cause | will devote the bal
ance of my life," she asserted.
Madame Breshskovskaya asserted
that she also came to America to de
liver a message telling that the Rus
sian Bolsheviki are destroyers.
They have failed because they are
destroyers," she asserted. Ruination
is their motto. They are not construc-
tionists."
"You in America confuse the social
lists with the bolsheviki. The Russian
socialists are constructionist. That
is the difference. The Bolsheviki are
not.
Praise for Kerensky
"Had the constituent assembly and
Kerensky remained in power and the
first trouble settled there would have
been no trouble beyond the first up
rising.
"Kerensky is a noble man, a true
socialist, devoted to the people. He
gave way before the Bolsheviki be-
cause he was outnumbered, his organi-
zation was scattered, and he did not
want to shed any more blood. Rus
sia's masses today. believe, have the
utmost faith in Kerensky.
Madame Breshskovskaya said she
went in hiding in Petrograd for eight
months when Kerensky was over
thrown. Then she went to Moscow
where she remained two months, La

A most mira aculous escape from an accident occurred al Fairbank day be- fore yesterday and only the good luck of tool box location was the means or saving two lives. A car with two tourists from California going to Texas struck the Tombstone train al the road crossing on the old line near where the stock pen is located. The automobile was running at speed of about thirty miles an hour and the train about fifteen. the car was all curtained in and the driver had his head wrapped up and later stated he did not hear nor see the train. The auto struck the passenger coach about the middle of the car where the under body tool box is located and it was this fact that saved the lives of the two men in the car. Had the contac. occurred on the opposite side of the car the men would have been instant ly killed, but as is was the car striking the tool box thrown parallel to the track and is now in a badly damaged condition. The men escaped without scratch.
