CREAMERY IS MAKING GOOD

]. NJ. Amundsen, operator of the
local creamery, is more than pleased
with the outlook in his line. He tells
the Echo that he is getting more
cream every week and that the far
mers and COW owners arc commencing
10 realize how much better il is to
dispose of their cream locally than to
ship it to outside points. He pays the
highest market price for butter fat
and is getting the reputation for zeal
ing fair with the farmer. While the
creamery has only been in operation
three weeks he has paid out over
$4,000 to the farmers for butterfat,
and has made upward of $500 pounds
of butter. He is supplying the local
confectioners with ice cream, and on
all of his products we have yet to
hear a complaint. Mr.. Amundsen
says he is in Leavenworth to stay, and
the residents of Leavenworth should
always insist on Leavenworth butter
and ice cream. The creamery is an
industry that means much to our city
and should have the support of all

NO ENDORSEMENT

The refusal of the A. F. of L. to
endorse the Russian soviet should act
as an effectual damper to the bolshe-
visits in the ranks of organized labor,
who have constantly pointed to the
soviet movement as the example for
America to follow. The fact that
James Duncan of Seattle presented
the resolution asking for endorsement
of the Russian soviet probably helped
to make its defeat overwhelming. The
publicity gained by Duncan before,
during and since the general strike,
evidently has not influenced the dele
gates in his favor. Anything coming
from Seattle radicals will be immedi-
ately branded as "bolshevik." The
workingmen of this vicinity have no
reason to feel proud of James Dun
can as their representative.

THE SERVICE CLUB WORKS ON
CAMP GROUND

Members of the Service Club got
busy one afternoon this week and
cleaned up the plot of ground recon-
mended as suitable for a camping
site for auto tourists who may be COM
ing this way and want to camp out.
The plot of ground lies at the north
end of the Wenatchee river bridge
east of town, between the Wenatchee
Valley Northern railroad track aAd
the river. 1t is planned to supply
wood and water for campers and
shade and shelter. Trees are not nu-
merous and it is planned to erect some
kind of building. The brush has been
cleared away and the loose rock re-
moved. The need of sign boards to
direct travellers what road to take in
going to Lake Wenatchee, the Icicle
river and other fishing streams has
been called to the attention of the
club and will doubtless receive early
attention.

FARMERS EXCURSIONS TO
VS.. COLLEGE JULY 9 AND 10
Ckelan County Visitors are Asked to
Attend on the Last Day of the
Meeting

County Agent Wm.Meikle has re
ceived information from Pullman that
the annual excursions of the farmers
of the state to the College VIII occur
July 9 and 10 this year.
This is one of the most interesting
events of the year. There will be a
Wheat Growers convention July 8,
followed by the regular conventions
on the 9th and 10th.
These annual excursions have come
to be looked upon as the best feature
of the state college work. 1t gives
the people of the state who own and
support this valuable institution an
opportunity to witness at first hand
the work that is being done and the
progress that is being made at Pull
man.
Chelan county people are asked to
visit the college July 10. 1t has been
suggested that they go to Spokane
from here July 8, stop at Sprague,
Wash, the next day and visit the
great Shorthorn herd of McCreskey,
Day & Rothrock, and arrive in Pull
man that night.
At the recent bankers convention
held in Wenatchee former State Bank
Examiner Hanson stated that the
Washington State College at Pullman
is the states greatest educational and
industrial asset. From long exper-
ience he has decided that more benefit
is being conferred upon the farmers
of the state thru the college than thru
any other agency.
Those intending to go to Pullman
July s, 8 and 10 are asked to write
to County Agent Meikle at 212 Fed
eral Bldg, Wenatchee.

ONLY HALF APPLE CROP IN
NEW YORK STATE

Jack Willis returned last night
from a several months visit in his
old home in New York state Before
leaving for the west he visited the
greater portion of the New York ap-
pie district and states that conserva-
tive estimates place the New York ap-
pie crop this year at only about half
the crop of last year. The bloom
this spring was very free but cold rain
set in during the blooming period and
the trees did not pollenize and hence
only a small crop is expected. The
weather is fine now and no frosts
have occurred, but it is not too late
vet for killing frosts in the New
York apple district. - Wenatchee

TEXAS DEMOCRAT CHARGES
HIS PARTY WITH NEPOTISM
Employees Go Joy Riding at Govern
ment Expense-Wants Useless
Employees Fired

Washington, June 23-"Since I in
troduced a resolution here the other
day." said Representative Blanton, of
Texas, democrat, "to appoint an au-
ditor to audit the accounts and expen-
ditures in the United States Employ
ment Service | understand that there
has been dismissed from that service
within the last few days quite a score
of employees on big salaries, including
the sister of the director of that de-
partment, who last July carried a
book in her pocket which authorized
her to go to any railroad station in
the United States and sign up slip
and call for transportation. She used
that book in New York on the fourth
day of last July to get transportation
and Pullman service for three differ
ent people from New York to Allan
tic City, and on the seventh day of
July transportation and Pullman SER
vice for herself from Atlantic City
back to New York. That is a prac-
tice that I want to break up in this
government. And I want to say that
ir breaking it up I am just as loyal
democrat as there is on the floor
of the house.
Mr.. Densmore has the right to en-
ploy his sister. Other members or
officials of that labor department
have the right to employ their wives,
if they can give just as good service
as anybody else. But when they get
to riding around over this country on
government transportation, if you
please, from Washington to the Cali
fornia coast, and from New York to
Atlantic City, and to the various
other watering places of this country
in the summer months, want to
know it."
This scoring of reckless use of gov
ernment money by Blanton led to
much debate in the house. He was
himself assailed for nepotism by ad-
ministration democrats who resented
what he said about high salaries,
needless employees and kindred mat
ters. Blanton admitted his own sons
were employed, one as page in the
house and one as clerk in his office.
This, however, has nothing to do with
the employment of a vast force of
needless clerks and other employees
in the various executive departments.

LEAvENWORTHIANS PICNIC
IN SEATTLE LAST SUNDAY
Fifty Eight Met in Woodland Park
and Had Great Time Talking
Over Days in "Old Home
Town"

The following account of a meeting
of all former residents of Leaven-
worth, who could be rounded up, and
now temporarily or otherwise, max
ing their home yin Seattle, is sent us
by Lonnie Hartman, who was one of
the seventy-odd present. 1t may cas-
lily be concluded by Leavenworth
readers that they had great time,
and not few would like to have
been in hearing distance and heard
the talk that was going around as they
gathered in knots to talk over some
of their experience in "the old town" "
The names of many are familiar and
their mention is enough to make one
bark back to other days. Following
is the story, as sent us, with the
names Of those present.

Hartman planned a picnic of all for
n'er Leavenworth people who now re
side in Seattle, and or Sunday, June
22nd, it was held at Wooo land Park,
and was in every sense of the word
a wonderful success. Everyone brot
something different, and the variety
and quantity of food that was on the
table, which was nearly seventy-five
feet long, is seldom seen. Old times
were talked over and old acquaint-
ances renewed, also new acquaintances
made. Leavenworth pennants were
conspicuous all along the table and
nine "Rahs" were given for old Leav-
enworth. 1t is planned to have these
picnics about once a month and a

sist of former Leavenworth people,
the object being to have dances, card

FAILED TO GET THE GLAD HAND

James Duncan, one of the reddest
radicals of Seattle, who hoped to go
down to Atlantic City and walk
away with the convention, ousting
Gompers and usurping his place as
president, was not given the hearty
reception that he anticipated. Instead
he was hissed, and cries of "ThI ow
him out" resounded thru the hall
This will be branded as the work of
the capitalists.
