THE MAYARS LEAVE.

Mr.. and Mrs. Deed H. Magyar left
last Saturday on No. for Seattle
and from there they expect to go to
Southern California to spend the
winter, leaving there in a couple
months for a visit with relatives and
friends in Texas. They may return
here in the spring.
Mr.. Magyar, as is known to our read
ers, was the publisher of the Echo un-
til few weeks ago when he sold to
the present publishers after some
seventeen years of newspaper work in
Leavenworth. As a publisher Mr..
Magyar was energetic and conscien-
tious. AS editor he hewed to the line
and let the chips fall where they
would. He naturally displeased some.
But it is citizens that Mr.. Magyar
and his good wife will long be remem-
bered. Their niche in the hearts of a
large circle of old friends will never
be filled. They leave, but the person
ality of each will not be forgotten and
those who best knew them will best
know how to appraise their worth. We
as their successors in publishing the
Echo, desire to wish them Godspeed
and the best of earth's blessings.

The above officers were elected as

nominations were presented by H. ].
Olive, chairman of the nominating
committee and upon motion of j. L.
Dumas, Dayton, the report was APP
proved by unanimous vote.
Wenatchee May Get Next Meeting.
Where the next meeting place will
be remains for the board of trustees
to determine before the conference
here ends. With the election of Mr..
Rohlke from Chelan county as presi-
dent, however, the assumption that
the next conference will be held at
Wenatchee becomes a practical GER
tainty if Wenatchee wants it. Secre-
tary Dean last night announced he
would entertain invitations from cit
les desirous of entertaining the asso-
citation
The various county and other fairs,
particularly the state fair, were com
mended as an aid to the fruit indus
try and the state horticultural depart
ment praised for its enforcement of
the apple pack laws.
Resolutions Are Tabled.
A resolution favoring private own
ership of the railroads and attacking
the Plumb plan was tabled as was al
50 another calling attention to the
constant menace of a railroad strike
that would paralyze the fruit indus
try and calling upon labor to unite
with the agricultural population in an
attempt to stabilize conditions.

she has followers in both England
and in this country.
The war caused a revival of inter
est in Joanna because, it was declar-
ed, she predicted several of the wars
happenings. 1t is that fact which is
causing a demand that the long-lockeC
box containing her prohpecies be
looked into.
At the opening of the war in 1914
some of Joanna's followers dipped
back into the writings of Joanna, who
had been dead exactly one hundred
years. They found these sayings;
"Our foes shall become ou1
friends" (in1812, when this was writ
ten, France and the United States
were foes of England).
Two monarchs shall plan a great
war in which England shall be
drawn"
"The dangers to England will first
be overhead"
England will be delivered from a
foreign enemy, but the sound of wa
will be heard in the land and people
will be killed in their beds"
"Only one nation will be lost to Eu-
rope, and that will be Turkey.
Now, say those who believed that
Joanna really was prophet, those
things have all come to pass. Would
it not be for the good of the nation #
the box of prophecies be opened and
what the future holds in store be
learned in time to prepare for it?
Joanna came into prominence n
1894.
The unopened box of prophecies,
which she maintained dealt with the
future of the whole world, was left to
remain unopened until such action
should be demanded by "a bishops.
Since she generally was repudiated by
churchmen, that occasion never has
arisen The location of the box of
prophecies has been kept a secret for
generations by her followers.

ODESSA WHEAT
MAN BUYS TRACT OF
ORCHARD LAND
JACOB HARDUNG PAYS $4,000
FOR TEN ACRE ORCHARD
NEAR PESHASTIN. PURCHASE
MADE FROM ]. G. DOLLAR.

A transaction in real estate of more
than ordinary interest was consum-
mated recently between ]. G. Dollar
and Jacob Harding when the former
sold his 10-acre fruit ranch between
Peshastin and Dryden to the latter
for 100000, or $4,000 per acre, rec
ord price for this section.
This is one deal of dozen or more,
whereby ranchers owning large wheat
ranches in the vicinity of Odessa,
have disposed of their interests in
wheat property and invested in apple
orchards near Peshastin and Dryden.
Apple growing in the Wenatchee
valley evidently looks more attractive
to these new arrivals than does the
raising of wheat

ALASKAN COAL
FOR THE u. s.
IS URGED
$50 BILLION TONS CT FUEL IS
AVAILABLE IF BAN is LIFTED,
SAYS MINNEAPOLIS BUSINESS
MAN JUST RETURNED.

If governmental restrictions were
removed, Alaska's 150,000,0OO,000 tons
of coal could be brought into the Unit
ed States to relieve the fuel shortage,
according to F. w. Lindenau, Mime
apolis businessman who returned re-
Gently from Ketchikan, Alaska.
"Few realize Alaska has 1867
square miles of coal lands" said Mr.
Lindenau. Climber is so plentiful it
is largely used for fuel and this has
tended to curtail coal land develop
ment There are governmental regu-
lations also which make it impossible
to ship out coal. These certainly
ought to be removed.
Supply Declared Plentiful.
Steamship men with whom | talk
ed say they can deliver coal to Seat
tie from the great coal fields around
Cooks Islet, Alaska, for sS a ton, in
Guiding the cost of mining. This sup
ply ought to be looked into"
Mr.. Lindenau said the purchase of
Alaska for two cents an acre, was the
greatest real estate deal the world
ever knew
"The fisheries industries alone have
netted the United States 20 times the
S7,000,0O0 paid for Alaska" he said.
City Has Repaid Growth.
He described the rapid growth of
Anchorage, at the head of Cooks In
let at is the head of the govern
ment's railroad building forces" he
said, and has grown to a population
of 10000 in six years. The city was
started six years ago.
"The railroad from Anchorage Ia
Dawson to Prince Rupert will be COM
pleted in two years. his will make
Alaska so near in effect that ship
ments to and from there will almost
come under the interstate commerce
act"
Alaska was never so prosperous, Mr.
Lindenau said. Wages are 81 pei
hour and there is not enough help, te

GLEN ". LONG
DIED THURSDAY
AT 10 A. N.
r RID VICTIM OF RAILROAD
ACCIDENT AT MONITOR DIES
IN WENATCHEE GENERAL
HOSPITAL; SUFFERED MUCH.

] Last Thursday morning about 10
o'clock Glen w. Long, who was hurt
in the Monitor accident Thanksgiving
Day, passed away at the Wenatchee
General Hospital as the result of his
| injuries.
Death came as a elimination of one
week of suffering marked by tempor-
ary periods of consciousness and
times when he seemed to be gaining
strength, with encouraging chances
of complete recovery.
DR.. A. E. Gerhart, the attending
physician, states that death was caus-
ed by a congestion of the lungs and
pneumonia, following the puncture, re-
sulting from the crushing Of his ribs
al the time of the accident.
1t is a coincidence that Glen Longs
death occurred at almost the same
time that William NJ. Slocomb and his
son, Cecil, were laid to rest.
Until Wednesday last, great hopes
were entertained of Longs recovery,
as his strong constitution seemed suf-
fcient to carry him through the battle
with terrible injuries.
But one lung was almost destroyed
by the accident and when pneumonia
attacked the other one there was no
chance for him to survive. 1t is need
less to say that everything possible
was done to ward off the approach of
death by those in attendance on his
case.
Was Sergeant in Troop c
Glen w. Long was "a years of age
at the time of his death. He came
here from Grayson, North Carolina,
about three years ago and when Troop
c was organized in February he was
one of the original members.
He went overseas with the troop
and was made sergeant on account
of his exceptional skill and ability
During the war he was dispatch
bearer with the First Army and ac-
quilted himself with great credit. He
was recommended for promotion to
the Officers Training Camp and was
taking a course at Longres, France,
when the armistice wass igned. He
spent some time with Maj. McDon-
uell in the Provost Marshall's depart
ment, after the close of the war and
returned with the rest of the troop in
June of this year. He stopped over to
visit his mother, Mrs. Melinda Long,
at Columbus, Ga, and his brother, D..
B. Long, at Roanoke, Alabama.
Highly Respected in Valley
Upon his return to the Wenatchee
valley early in the fall he went to
work for Mr.. Slocomb and remained
there until the accident that caused
his death He was a most exemplary
young man. who showed the results Of
good breeding and education in his
every day conduct. He enjoyed the
respect and admiration of all who
knew him.
In addition to his mother and broth
el residing as stated above, he has an
other brother whose present address
is not known.

MAY OPEN PROPHECIES.

The regulations of few prophets,
especially the more modern variety
have outlived the alleged prophets
themselves. But the case of Joanna
Southcott is an exception. Joanna has
been dead 105 years, but today a de-
mand is being voiced in England that
a mysterious box of prophecies left
by her be opened.
Joanna, herself, was a person of no
little mystery. She rose from a hum
BILE servant girl to a position as head
of a sect of more than one hundred
thousand, who looked upon her as a
sort of feminine Elijah. To this day

MRS. NJ. 0. LOGAN
VISITS HER OLD
IOWA HOME
REMINISCENT DESCRIPTION OF
OLD FAMILIAR PLACES VISIT
ED. CHILDHOOD DAYS ARE
RECALLED.

Mrs. Nj. o. Logan returned on Dec.
from an extended visit to her old
home in Iowa. She spent almost four
months there reviewing her childhood
haunts, and says that it seemed as if
she had only been asleep during the
intervening twenty years that had
elapsed since she left the old scenes.
She has two brothers and many
other relatives and old friends still
living in the old neighborhood. Her
eldest brother still lives on the place
where her father and mother lived
the place where their seven children
were born and grew to man and
womanhood.
The old place has been so well kept
it looked as natural as life.
Mrs. Logan loved to stroll about.
She walked to the old school house
where she spent much of her time as
child. She was accompanied by
Mrs. J. A. Duncan and her brothers
wife and a friend and they visited the
old school. One of her old school
mates daughters was now teaching in
the school. That made her feel more
at home than ever, and she felt al
most that she was a child again. At
the close of school they went out and
picked acorns that had fallen from
the trees in the school yard; they
walked over the Fairgrounds, and
gathered oak leaves, linden leaves,
hazel nuts and hickory nuts, samples
of which she preserved TO bring home
with her As they had gone to the
school they had gathered haws and
wild crab apples to eat as of old and
viewed the beautiful goldenrod, the
white and purple fall roses, the gold
en- fields of Spanish needles
all so fragrant-bringing childhood
days so near as she went to gather
them.
Returning home they went back
through Mrs. Logan's grandfather's
old farm where she had in childhood
played about the fireplace and under
old red June apple trees. How happy
life was in those days! She also wan
dered all over the old farm where her
brother lives and visited the place
where she and Mr.. Logan spent the
first ten and half years of their mar
ried life. She was much disappointed
that she did not get to attend church
at Logan chapel, built by Mr. Logan's
grandfather about forty years ago.
It was the first church that was built
in that community. She did attend
Mt Olive church which was her old
family place of worship. She also at
tended several other churches, camp
meetings and basket meetings and
at her old home there were one hun
dred conversions. She visited rela-
tives at DesMoines and several other
places in Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska,
and at Denver, Col, where she ate her
Thanksgiving dinner, leaving that
night for Leavenworth. She travelled
over 5000 miles while away.
Mrs. Logan brought back with her
some real homemade sorghum, many
different kinds of nuts and other
things, and was glad to get back to
her home and family.

GREAT DISTURBANCE.

Prof Porta, an eastern astronomer,
has issued the following;
Owing to strange grouping of
six mighty planets, such as has not
been seen in score of centuries, the
United States will in December be
be swept by the most terrific weather
cataclysm experienced since human
history began.
ut will be caused by the mightiest
sun spot on record, one visible to the
naked eye. Since men first began to
record events no sun spot has been
large enough to be seen without the
aid of instruments. This one will be.
"The sun spot will appear about
Dec IT and will be vast wound in
the side of the sun.
at will be a gigantic explosion of
flaming gases, leaping hundreds of
thousands of miles into space. 1t will
have a crater large enough to engulf
the earth, much as Vesuvius might en-
gulf a football.
"Such a sunspot will be rich enough
in electromagnetic energy to fling
the atmosphere of our planet into a
disturbance without precedent or par
allel. There will be hurricanes, light
ming, colossal rains. 1t will be weeks
before the earth will regain its nor
NAL condition.
"There will also be gigantic lava
eruptions, great earthquakes, to say
nothing of floods and fearful cold.
''I make this startling prophecy
with no desire to be merely sensation
al or alarming 1t is simply because
my study of the planets has revealed
certain results with mathematical
certainty.
"On Dec. II no less than seven
planets will pull jointly on the sun.
These will include all the mightiest
planets, those with the m ost power
fuI pull
"Six of them-Mercury, Mars, We
nus, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune
will be in conjunction; grouped to-
rether in the greatest '1eague of
planets" ever known in the annals of
astronomy.
"They will be massed in the narrow
limit of 26 degrees on the same side
of the sun,
Directly opposite, coming into op-
position with this gigantic league win
be the huge planet Uranus. The mag
netic currents between Uranus and
the six planets will pierce the sun
like a mighty spear.
"Our earth is outside the league, at
ar angle of nearly as degrees-in
perfect position to receive almost the
full force of the monster electrical
disturbance as it leaps into activity
on what, to us, will be the eastern
horizon of the suns disc.
"Be warned in advance. Tremen-
dous things are going to happen from
Dec. II to 20, 1919, and afterward.." /"
