CASCADE SCENIC HIGHWAY
SHOULD OPEN NEXT YEAR
Automobilists and Others Insist That
Road Be Opened for Travel at
Early Date This Summer

That an effort should be made to
open up the Cascade Scenic Highway
for travel this season is the opinion
of motorists and others who are inter
ested in the trans-mountain route.
The Echo has been told that Chelar
county can finish up her portion of
the road in less than two months.
Snohomish and King counties have
some work yet to be completed, but
in two months, at the most, after
work starts, the road should be open
for travel.
The first contract on the Scenic
Highway was let some five years ago,
Had it not been for the war the road
would doubtless have been opened last
year. But the coming summer labor
will be fairly plentiful and work
should begin at the earliest possible
date. The highway when open will
be one of the biggest assets of the
Wenatchee valley and will draw thou
sands of tourists to this section every
summer. Besides this it will be de-
lightful Sunday drive for the autoist,
who could easily motor to Seattle in
six hours.
The county commissioners should be
urged to take immediate action on this
important matter.

PROTESTS AGAINST
THE RAISE IN LIGHT RATES

Elsewhere in this issue of the Echo
is printed a notice to the effect that
the City Council of Leavenworth at
its regular meeting last Tuesday eve
ming adopted resolution directed to
the Public Service Commission at
Olympia, protesting against the raise
in lighting rates of the Tumwater
Light & Water Co., which took effect
Dec. 1st last, when the rate was ad-
vanced from ten to thirteen cents. At
ter reciting the fact the resolution
asks the commission to take the mat
ter up on its merits and determine
what the rate should be.
On good authority we are told that
a petition signed by twenty five
property owners has also been for
warded to the commission protesting
against the raise in the rate.

COLD STORAGE HOLDINGS LESS

The cold storage holdings in the
State of Washington as reported on
the first of January are somewhat
less upon the whole than the holdings
for the same date last year, accord
ing to government report received
at this office the past week. Decided
decreases are shown in the following
commodities: Apples, case eggs,
American cheese, packing stock but
ter, cured beef, frozen pork, lard, and
lamb and mutton, while the following
commodities show larger holdings for
this year, frozen eggs, dry salt pork,
sweet picked pork and poultry. In
creamery butter and frozen beef the
amount of the holdings for the two
years show little change.

JOHNSON N-THOMPsON

Mrs. Katherine Johnson and Mr.
James Thompson were united in we'd
lock at Spokane, Thursday January 8.
Both parties have made Leavenworth
their home for a number of years,
and have a host of friends. Mrs.
Thompson came here four years ago
from Hillyard. Mr.. Thompson is one
of the up-near-the-front engineers on
the Great Northern railroad and has
made Leavenworth his headquarters
for the past ten years. Their going
to Spokane to be married was in the
nature of surprise to their many
friends, who had suspected the we'd
ding bells would ring some time in
the near future, but not so soon.

ANGUS NICHOLSON IN FRANCE

The following letter from Angus
Nicholson will be read with interest
by his many friends here:
France, December 10, 1918
Editor Echo
Having a little time to spare ]
thought I would send a few lines as
to some of the movements of the Sec
ond Field Artillery. We landed at
Brest on the 9th of November on board
the President Grant after a twelve
days voyage. We have billeted at sew
eral places since we landed here and
returned to thic city (Brest) several
days ago. We have'been assigned to
guard duty but how long we will stay
is uncertain.
Brest is certainly very interesting
place for those who are interested in
anything historical. Yesterday l Wis
tied one of julius Caesars castles.
The dungeons and the chutes where
tEey used to drop their prisoners down
and their means of supplying them
with food is very interesting. The
place right thru is nothing but place
of torture. I do not think a more
ideal place can be found for the Kai-
ser.
/ was here when President Wilson
landed on the 18th en- route to Paris.
General Pershing accompanied him
thru the city and the French people
gave them a great reception. All
the American troops including myself
were delighted to have chance to see
the President.
/ am sending you card of one of
Caesars castles. 1t is said to have
been built SO BIC.
Yours Sincerely

PROHIBITION is SURE
TO COME NEXT YEAR
Nation Will Be Dry Next Year
Thirty-Fiye States Have Rati-
fled Dry Amendment

Legislatures of 35 states-one less
than the required three-fourths have
ratified the prohibition constitutional
amendment. Several state assemblies
now in session are expected to take
action tomorrow with probable race
between Nebraska, Missouri, New
Mexico and Minnesota as to which will
be the 36th one on the list.
Ratification was completed today by
the legislatures of five states-Iowa,
Colorado, Oregon, New Hampshire
and Utah-making total of II in two
days. Of the 35 states that have ia
ken action only IA have certified their
action to the federal state department.
The amendment under its provisions
becomes effective one year from the
date of its final ratification. Addi-
tional legislation by congress is nee
essary to make it operative and
ground work for this already has
been laid. This legislation will pre-
scribe penalties for violations of the
amendment and determine how and by
what agencies the law shall be en-
forced.
If ratification is completed this
month many officials believe the
country will become permanently dry
next July 1.
Court action to prevent the amend
ment becoming operative already has
been started in California, where an
order temporarily restraining Cover
nor Stephens from signing ratifica-
ton of the amendment has been OBJ
tanned. It has been intimated that
similar action may be taken in other
states in which it is said, state laws re-
quire that federal constitutional
amendments must be submitted to a
referendum. The prohibition amend
ment resolution passed by congress
provides that ratification shall be by
"the legislatures of the several states
as provided by the Constitution.

Referring to the 1. w. w. as law
less organization, and stating that
technicalities may not be employed to
interfere with the course of justice
Governor Thomas E. Campbell of
Arizona has recommended enactment
of law which will establish as fel-
ony the doctrine of syndicalism which
advocates crime, sabotage and vio-
lence as a means of accomplishing in
dustrial and professional reform.

tion of his paper, who remained ultra
radical against the will of the papers
owners, a journalist who for years
denounced Hearst as dangerous
hypocrite and then took service un-
der Hearst, pessimist who at heart
despises the frail, unstable, stupid
mass of humanity, yet keeps fighting
for the improvement of its condition
when he considers the fight hopeless
and futile.
These three figures occupy the CEN
ter of the stage, the back-drop of
which is the unique community life
of the City of the Argonauts and the
Vigilantes, the city in which political
power over all departments, legisla-
tive, executive and judicial, has lain
for almost fifteen years in the hands
of politicians depending upon union
labor for the continuance of their ten
ure.
Politically and economically San
Francisco has always been pervaded
by the spirit of liberalism. This
spirit made possible the repeated cleo
ton of candidates nominated or en-
dorsed by the union labor forces, in

it happen, then, that millions of people

undertook to railroad Mooney to the
gallows as a result of an anti labor
conspiracy. -A+

GARTNER-PUTNAM

A very pretty wedding was solem-
nized at the home of the brides moth
er, Mrs. w. G. Leslie last Tuesday at
II am, when Miss Freda Gartner was
united in marriage to Mr.. Glen Put
nam, Rev. Putnam of Everett, father
of the groom officiating. The bride
was attended by Miss Laura Hatha-
way and the groom by Mr.. Henry
Woldvet. Little Dorothy Leslie, the
brides sister was ring bearer. After
the ceremony a buffet luncheon was
served and at 2:15 the happy couple
took No. 1 for the Coast where they
will spend their honeymoon. We
natchee will be their future home, Mr..
Putnam being in the employ of the
J. C. Penny Company.

THE MOONEY CASE

These are the three outstandigt fig
ures in the famous controversy, the
outcome of which promises to have a
profound influence on the direction
of the radical movement in the United
and far beyond its borders--the de
fendant the prosecutor and the defen-
dant's principal champion.
Thomas Mooney, fanatical, intol-
Grant ultra-radical who until his trail
was a thorn in the side of the trade
unions, direct actionist who sincere
ly and fervently believed that dyna-
mite would bring the millennium, who
had been suspected of dynamiting be-
fore the wholesale murders and whose
associate had just done time in the
penitentiary for illegally transporting
dynamite.
Charles M. Fickert, a district at
torney just as consistently conserVa-
tive as Mooney was radical, politi-
clan without finesse or subtlety,
elected at the beginning of his career
by union labor and of a corporation
whose heads were under indictment,
reelected by union labor and sup
ported strongly by the saloon element.
Freemon Older, brilliant editor, pre-
senting a strange mixture of ideaism
and expediency, a friend of the poor
and downtrodden, a conservative who

COUNTY TAXES WILL NOT RAISE

Assessor Spencer has completed ex-
tension of the tax rolls and turned
them over to the treasurer for collec-
ton. There is a slight increase this
year over 1917, due to higher state,
school, municipal and road levies. A
slight increase in assessed valuation
equalizes the increased levy, so that
the average paid by property owners
will be no higher than in 1917.
