The great strug- gle in Alaska for two years has not been to make money. 1t has been to save our business institutions and in- duStrieS and to keep the wheels turn ing until normal conditions may be restored. This additional burden will make that task more difficult"
 The Alaska Territorial Shipping Board will oppose further increase in the freight and passenger rates on Alaska routes It will fight the re- quest for a 20 per cent additional rate at this time. It will take this stand pending the collation. of data upon which to base further action.

Word has been received in Juneau that the steamship companies operat- ing boats on the Alaska route will soon announce another raise of ap- proximately 20 per cent in passenger and freight rates.
 The increased cost of doing buSi- ness is said to make the move neces- Sary in order to provide returns on the money invested in the business.
 While mo definite date is given as to when the advance k to be ex-

It is not always wise to fill the hole

dangerous Of human pests. 1t null
tiplies by the million and every fly of
dange1ous disease germs, says DR..
w. A. Riley, head of the entomology
division of the Minnesota college of
agriculture. The only thing to do
therefore, is to fight the fly in season
and out of season by keeping the pre-
misses clean, destroying breeding plac-
es, screening houses to keep the flies
out, and swatting the flies that get
inside. Community cooperation in fly
fighting is one of the best moves to-

NOTICE TO MILK CUSTOMERS


On account of circumstances over
which l have no control l am obliged
to discontinue the delivery and sale
of milk.
Four years ago the LIST of June
began delivering milk in Leavenworth.
During the entire four years l have
enjoyed a large and profitable bust
ness. The fact that a number of
the best families in Leavenworth be-
gan taking their milk from me on the
start and have continued during the
entire time attests to the quality of
the milk and the satisfactory business
relations I have enjoyed. thank
you all for your very liberal patron
age.
l am informed that Mr.Van Brocklin
has an ample supply of milk and as he
has every facility for handling the
trade my quitting the business will
not work hardship on anyone.
You will please take notice that on
the 31st of May I will make my final
delivery of milk, and govern your
selves accordingly. Thanking you
again for your patronage, I remain,
Respectfully

Coming as good news to the autoist
was the announcement the first of the
week that there had been a Is per

in quite a saving to the car owner.
The Blewett road is now said to be

tract for the lewett pass road i'm

his material and hopes to start the
work about June 1st. He will en-

late in the fall. He will make his
headquarters in Leavenworth.
A farewell party was given at the
home of Mrs. r. C. DAILY for Dorothy

twenty-five guests were present and

now in the employ of the Stone &
Webster Co., of Seattle. Mr.. Bar
mum in the course of conversation with
an Echo representative said that this
side of the mountains looked awfully
good to him and that he might again
decide to locate in this vicinity.
Four divorces were granted by
Judge Grimshaw in the Superior court
last Monday morning. In comment
ing on the divorce laws of Washington
after the session, he said: "Tn no
other state in the union can a divorce
be secured upon such flimsy evidence
as here. 1t seems to be the fashion
to rush into matrimony or divorce
upon the slightest whim or passing
fancy"
