CRATER LAKE A SHELL HOLE
Here, says Representative Sinnott,
Milton Would Have Found the
Impact for Lucifer's Fall

Representative Sinnott, of Oregon,
recently described Crater lake on the
floor of the house in these words:
"Southward, Crater lake, cauldron-
like and circular, 1000 feet high, is
rerched amid the peaks. Perpendicu-
lar sides of shaggy lava rise over a
thousand feet from waters of indigo
blue 6 miles across and 1000 feet
deep.
"To the scientist a mighty volcano
collapsed within itself, Mount Ma
zama, $4,000 feet high telescoped.
"To the poet, the sea of silence "a
lake of mystery
"To me, shell hole of "a war of
worlds. Who knows ?"
Gould the great blind poet have
seen this marvel ere his pen had Lu-
cifer and his host of rebel angels
Hurled headlong flaming from the
ethereal sky,
With Hideous ruin and combustion,
down"
in Miltonic imagery here he'd have
found the impact"

also lifted the lid, and now our let
tiers have free sailing thru to the U.
S. A. without any official interfer-
ence. Now | can tell you all about
the big times | have had over here,
helping to keep the U-boats out of the
North Sea. am so full of news
that | hardly know where to begin,
so I'll make at least a "starter" in
this letter and write you more another
time
We have spent most all of our time
in the North Sea with the British
grand fleet, and when we were not out
cruising we usually anchored near
Edinburgh or the Orkney Islands and
other harbors. Since the Armistice
was signed | was over to Edinburgh
one day on liberty, and saw many
places of historic interest. The city
is about the size of Minneapolis. Be-
fore that we were always under short
sailing notice, so we couldn't go far
away from our ship, but ordinarily
spent our time on the beach or at
Dumferlne, Scotland-the birthplace
of Andrew Carnegie. 1t is quite a
treat to go over to these Scottish
towns and observe how they do things.
I expect to go some more-really had
planned on liberty today, but now |
shall stay aboard.
SO much for this time. The mess
cooks are setting tables, so I'll have,

good luck.

A Bill TO PROTECT FRUIT AND
VEGETABLE SHIPPERS

Hitherto some INSCRIPTIONS COM
mission men and fruit handlers have
taken advantage of those who shipped
them fruit and vegetables by claiming
that the goods were received in bad
or poor condition, and deducted what
they pleased in renting to the ship
per- Because an investigation would
prove expensive and result in delay in
settlement the grower generally al
lowed the claim under protest. Be-
cause this practice was common and
constantly growing, an investigation
was made, which resulted in showing
that in most instances it was pure and
simple graft on the part of the con-
signee. TO protect the shipper from
this kind of petty laceny Senator Jones
has introduced bill in the senate pro-
vding for a federal inspector who
shall inspect the product before it is
shipped and issue a certificate show
ing that it has been inspected and
found in good condition. The inspec-
ton certificate will be accepted by all
court as prima facie evidence that
the shipment was sound when deliv-
cred to the carrier. Senator Jones'
bill is eminently just and proper and
will doubtless become a law. 1t will
abolish an evil of which the ranchers
have long been victims.

LFAVFNWORTH BOY WITNESSED
SURRENDER OF GERMAN FLEET
Was Aboard L. 5. S. Arkansas-Says
He Never Expects to See
Grander Sight

The following letter received yes
terday by Herman Howe, from A. l..
Meinecke, who enlisted here and for
merly worked at the depot, will be
read with unusual interest, because it
refers to a great world incident of the
war:
9th Div. U. s. S. Arkansas,
Sunday Morning, 1124-1S.
Dear Herman:-One piece of news
to set the world on fire: The German
fleet surrendered 9 battleships, bat
tie cruisers and 7 light cruisers to us
on the morning of the 2lst. We went
to sea early, before sunrise, that morn
ing with our L. S. Squadron and the
British grand fleet, and caught first
sight of the German leading flagship
at a. m. Then we turned about and
held them about 500 yards off our
port side, and cruised back to the
Forth river, Edinburgh, Scotland, to
hold them for internment. 1t was one
Of the greatest, if not the greatest,
spectacle | have ever witnessed in my
life. One of those unusually fine
mornings, too-only a slight fog pre-
yailed-and the German ships pre-
scented beautiful picture as they
cruised along near the horizon be-
tween us and the sun. The United and
Associated Press men were right on
the iob-we had two on the Arkansas.
A British destroyer also carried a
moving picture party, and | observed
that pictures were taken from various
positions. You probably have read
the press news about the big navy
day, and soon, judge, you'll see
sketches of it on the screen.
Well, Herman, its over! Seems too
good to be true We are all so happy
over here that we can't begin our let
tiers fast enough to tell you about the
big event on the 21st The censor has

The Year 1919
You will employ every means to advance the interests
of your home town-ts moral and material advance
ment, to the end that homeseekers who may be look
inq for place to locate will be favoraby impressed,
The next few years lot Of people will be coming
west to look for desirable place to locate. Leaven-
worth should make an effort to induce the most de-
srable class.
RESOLVE
That you will spend your money at home. In
no other way can you do more to help build up the
town. Every time business man sends out of town
for something he could have procured here he sets
an example for some else to do the same thing.
One of the most prominent orchardsts in the Upper
Wenatchee Valley recently asked the publisher of
The Echo why he constantly urged the ranchers to
buy at home. It was the business men of Leaven-
worth that by their example suggested to him to buy
away from home. All the bank stationery shows
that it was printed out Of town and many other
business houses use stationary printed out OF town.
If it was good, sound business for them to send
away for things to save money why it not per
fecy right and proper for all others to do the
These people want to save everything they can but
want the balance of us to leave all pennies right
here. IF it is wrong and unloyal to the community
for us to send money out of town is 1t not equally
wrong for others to do so? Why do you not ask
the Leavenworth business men to set the good
example of doing what they ask us to do
The publisher of The Echo has no comment to
make other than simply submit the ranchers statement
contenting himself by quoting that much abused saying
from the bible Asye would that others should do unto
you, do we even so unto them" Observing, however,
unless you intend to practice what you preach, better
be frank, simply say I send out of town for any
thing [ want whenever [ can save penny, and IN
your place would do the thing. By urging
others to trade at home when yourself doing the
opposite thing you are only Pooling part of the
people part Of the time.
These trade at home talks will be continued from
week to week. with the hope and purpose that can
convince Part of the people, that it is to the real
and lasting benefit OF all the people all the time to
patronize the home enterprise.
