DAN NICHOLSON MARRIED

The following is taken from the
Herington, Kansas, News, a copy of
which reached the Echo this week:
An unusual event in the social life
of Herington and vicinity was a dou-
BILE wedding Wednesday, August 9th,
1919. The contracting parties were
Claire and Reva Smithson, daughters
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. Smithson, who
were united in marriage to Daniel
Nicholson of Leavenworth, Washing
ton, and Mont Norman, of Latimer,
Kansas, the officiating clergyman be-
ing Rev. Arthur Norman, brother of
the Latimer bridegroom.
1t was a very simple ceremony,
some twenty guests, members of the
families concerned and very close
friends being present. After the cere-
mony and congratulations delicious
lunch was served. Other guests in
addition to the immediate members
of the families concerned were: Mrs.
E. M. Demaray and daughter Maxine,
of Cincinnati, Ohio; Miss Gladys Gar
vim of Perkins, Okla, Miss Dorothy
Tompkins and Ray Dix.
The two couples were each others
attendants, taking their places to the
music of Mendelsohn's wedding march
played by Miss Minerva Jones. The
brides were daintily gowned in white
organdie and carried roses and sweet
peas.
The brides have lived many years
near Delavan and are young ladies of
much personal charm and are well
equipped in the accomplishments
which insure happy and comfortable
home. They have great many
friends whose best wishes accompany
them and every report concerning the
lucky young men says thay are in
every way worthy of their great good
fortune.
For several years these attractive
and very capable young ladies have
represented the Sun in Their neigh
borhood and many interesting items
have come from their pens to enter
tain and inform our readers. We
most heartily congratulate their hus-
bands and wish for all of them in the
language of Rip Van Winkle, "a
long life, health and prosperity"
They plan to spend a months hon.
eymoon visiting Colorado points"

S5OO,OOO REQUIRED TO RUN
CHfLAN COUNTY THIS YEAR
Increase of $4,000 To Be Made Up
By Raise in Assessed Valuations
Aid Orchard Industry

Chelan county's budget for 1920 will
amount to nearly $500,0O0. 1t is not
expected that the tax rates will be
much, if any higher than it was this
year, as there is an increase of $685.
$50 in the county's assessed valuation,
which will probably absorb most of the
Sd 900 increased cost of running the
county.
The most notable increases are the
items of $4,000 for the establishment
of a soil fertility station and $10,075
for the county horticulturalist, in
creased from $4,000.
Even with the increased appropri-
alton made by the county it will be
impossible to obtain effective and ex-
perienced assistants in the deputy
horticulturalists office. The state
law limits their pay to$4 a day. I'm
skilled labor in the orchards is paid
SIS and Sc day.
The growers in many sections are
making up funds with which to en-
ploy additional inspectors under the
direction of the deputy horticultural
list, and thus make it possible to OBJ
tain the services of skilled and COM
petent men.
This plan has worked successfully
il, the Sunnyslope district this season
and it will be tried in several other
places next year.
Another important item is the ap-
preparation of $4,000 to pay interest
or the proposed issue of $830,000 of
county road building bonds which are
to be voted up on by the county Sept.
20.
County assessor Spencer finds that
tie assessed valuation of the county
on March l of this year was $17,220,-
412. This compares with $16,563,-
562 last year, gain of S656,850
AS the assessed valuation is only
one-half of the actual value this rep
re sents a gain of $1,9OO,OO0 in real
value. This increase is based upon
personal property only, as no new as
sessment was made of real estate.
Wenatchee shows the heaviest in
crease in property value, the assessed
valuation growing from $2,839,616 in
1918 to 3,095,586 this year, a gain of
S345,000.

CONSTITUTION DAY WILL BE
CELEBRATED IN LEAVENWORT
One Hundred and Thirty Second An
niversary of Adoption of Char
ter of Liberty Occurs Next
Wednesday

If there is enough respect for the
document and the necessary amount
of interest in its preservation, the
people of Leavenworth will assemble
in the Grand theatre on that day and
take such patriotic action as may
seem proper. A program will doubt
less be prepared and appropriate cere-
monies had, such as the reading of the
declaration, recounting the privileges
and liberties that it guarantees, and
drawing comparisons between this
nation and others and comparing the
progress made under it in the last 1872
years. Which, by the way, should
encourage US all to persist in our eff
fcrt to perpetuate the law and order
it has done so much to preserve for
the people of the United States. An
effort will also be made to enlist the
interest of the children to the end
that succeeding generations many en-
Joy the blessings of government by,
for and of the people.

MAKERS PREDICTING LOWER
PRICES FOR CLOTHING
Declare Embargo On Shipments
Abroad Would Reduce the Cost
OF Living

Curtailing exports would bring down
the high cost of living according to
speakers at the sixth annual conven-
ton of the National Association of
Retail Clothiers which this week re-
ferred to its boad of directors the job
of evolving a partial embargo on
clothing shipments.
Max H. Friedman, president of the
Wholesale Clothiers association blam-
ed a large eastern trading company,
which he said, backed by millions
made in munitions, was buying all
available stocks of clothing regard
less of price for European markets.
A letter from F. ]. Kennedy, large
retailer in Boston, advocating an en-
barge on exports and declaring that
piece goods for next spring were ad-
vancing in price every day "and al
most beyond reason" was read by
Fred T. Levy of Louisville, KY, Mr..
Kennedy wrote that there was plenty
af wool in the country and while wa
ges were high, a serious situation
could be averted if everyone connec-
ted with the fabric and clothing in
dustry would sell goods as low as they
could instead of as much as they
could.
Delegates predicted reduction in
the price of clothing in the near fu-
ture.
'Tt's got to come" said Mr.. Levy of
Louisville. "Lower prices are on
the way and we fellows will sing the
last when the change comes. The
principal reason for the present high
prices is the cost of labor.
"There is really not much profiteer-
ing in clothes and what little there is
we intend to stop"

AUTO THIEF GETS HIS

Wednesday afternoon Judge Grim
shaw sentenced VIM. Pressler from
one to five years in the Monroe Re
formatory. Pressler, a twenty y-four
year old joy rider, took DR.. J. Fl.
Blake's car for trip to Ellensburg
about six weeks ago. He was arrested
in that city and brought back here
and pleaded guilty to felony un-
der the new law. This makes it OBJ
ligatory for the court to sentence an
offender to not less than one year
nor more than five either to the state
reformatory at Monroe or to the pen
i.entiary at Walla Walla.
This is the third auto thief senten-
oed to Monroe within the past three
onths. 1t is beginning to perco-
late thru the brains of the youthful
ioyriders that they cannot take some
one else's car for a spin and not get
into serious trouble, under the new
state law that makes such an act a
felony-Wen. World.

THE CAMP FIRE GIRLS

Tho no Camp Fire notes have ap-
peared in the paper during the sum-
mer months, it has not been because
the girls have been inactive, but rath-
er because the writer of the notes has
been absent from town during most OF
the time.
Several meetings were held by both
Camps during the summer and the
majority of the girls have thei1
names and symbols selected and their
head bands made.
The best attended meeting was one
both Camps enjoyed when they met
early in the morning and started the
climb to the Lookout on the Tum-
water.
Everyone carried a lunch and a
light heart. Tho everyone did not
succeed in reaching the Lookout ev-
eryone did have a good time and came
home happy, tho tired.
The Camp Fire girls recommend
that those who desire a good climb
and some splendid views take the trail
to the lookout.
Now that school has begun it is
planned to have the meetings regular
ly and thos who are interested will
find the Camp Fire notes in the paper
every week.

$500 PER YEAR
AUTOMOBILE FUND is STILL
GROWING

The new automobile code which was
PASSED for the expressed purpose of
raising plenty of funds for the con-
struction of highways is accomplish
ing what was contemplated. The re
ceipts thus far are two and one-half
times as large as for any correspond
ing previous period, the total collec-
tion for January August l, 1919,
amounting to S2,O65, ,s69.7S as against
$SO8, ,699.50 for the corresponding per-
iod of 1918. Another half million viii
probably be produced before the end
of the year, so that collections for the
biennium according to Secretary of
State, l. M. Howell, will approach the
unprecedented figure of s5,000,000.

TWO CAR LOADS cows COMING

]. M. Amundsen operator of the
Leavenworth Purity Creamery tells
the Echo that in all likelihood at least
two car loads of high grade cows will
be shipped into Leavenworth in the
near future. A meeting was held
this week of owners of dairy stock
and all were desirous of adding to
their herds if good stock could be Sc
cured. 1t is quite likely that some To-
cal man will be selected to go to Mon
tana to make arrangements for the
cows. Those who are now supplying
the local creamery with butterfat are
all well pleased with their returns and
finding the cows such good paying
investments are anxious to buy more.

3 SCHOOL NOTES

The second week of school has gone
along very well indeed. Most all of
the teachers are one the job, in fact
all but the grade principal. Miss
Rose Brown arrived Tuesday after
noon completing the corps with the ex-
ception of the position referred to
above. 1t was expected that Mr.. H.
N. Bake, formerly of Peshastin
would be on the ground the last of the
r.onth, but on Wednesday he wired
his resignation to accept much better
position at the State College at Pull
man. Mrs. Maston is substituting
for the present in the eighth grade.
Mr.. Carl Curtis has taken up the
work of the science department and
will also have charge of the physical
education in the high school. Plans
are under way to move the CONNER
cial department to the second floor
in order to get the use of two rooms
one for typewriting and one for book
keeping and shorthand As it is the
arrangement is very unhandy, as the
instructor has to conduct typewriting
on the lower floor while bookkeeping
and shorthand recite upstairs. The
two rooms will be connected by glass
double DOORS.
The enrolment in the high school
has now gone to about 20 or little
better, while a few more have also en-
tered the grades. There will be
others enroll for high school work a
little later. At present the enroll
ment in grades is about 1876.

AMALGANATFD GOLD MINING
co. WILL BECOME PRODUCER
Under Management of New Board of
Directors This Blewett Property
Will Be Put in Producing
Glass

Mr.. Arthur Brown, who halls from
San Francisco, California, was in
Leavenworth the first of the week
and talking to representative of the
Echo said he had been employed as
manager of the Amalgamated Gold
Mining Co. and was now engaged in
rehabilitating the property of the
company at Blewett. He said he was
held up just now because any material
and supplies intended for the camp
had to be taken by way of CleEllum
to the mining camp because of the
road by way of Leavenworth being
blocked by work on the Blewett
pass road, and as the road by.way of
Leavenworth was less than half the
distance by way of Gle Ellum this
would be the railroad shipping point
for the mine.
The road on the Kittitas county
side of the mountain will be COM
pleted by the end of this week, after
which the contractor will devote his
entire time to completing The Blewett
Pass road on the Chelan county side
He said, however, that the work that
remains to be done is so heavy, and
all solid rock, that it scarcely likely
that it will be completed. this year,
but that the road would be left in
such condition that it could be used in
t, ansporting material and supplies to
the camp from Leavenwotrh. Mr..
Brown said he had force of men at
work repairing the company hotel,
which was necessarily the first work
to be undertaken. AS soon as the
hotel is made habitable the old mill
will be rebuilt and an entire new
flume to take the place of the present
one which is old and delapidated.
Mr. Brown says he is interested in
a ,,,irc in California which carries ar
senical ores similar to the Blewett
property, and therefore understands
it's treatment. He says he has thor
oily inspected the property of the
Amalgamated at Blewett and is salts
fled it is capable of being made to
nav. The trouble heretofore and the
inability to make a paying mine of
the Amalgamated property is due to
the fact that it was in the hands OF
men who were not practical mining
men. The records show that several
million dollars worth of gold has been
taken out at Blewett in the past and
an examination convinced him that
the property is not worked out but has
been worked the wrong way. The
beard of directors of the reorganized
company consists of men who have
the means to put the property on
paying basis and will spare neither
money nor pains to bring about this
end. All the debts and claims of one
kind and another that hung over the
company have been paid off. AS
soon as material can be taken into
the camp fifty or more men will be
employed. The fact that Leaven-
worth is to be made the business and
banking point for the company is
worth keeping in mind and if the new
company carries out its indicated
plans it should add something to the
prosperity of the town and the sur
rounding country.

ALLEGED BOND SWINDLERS ARE
NABBED

Several alleged members of the
band of bond counterfeiters, whose
operations, authorities say, have been
nationwide, were arrested this week.
While the plans of the band, accord

floating of more than $1,000,000 of
worthless securities, only a small
amount was realized because the
scheme was checked before it ma
tured.
