The peace treaty is being shot to
pieces by the Senate committee on
foreign relations. One of the latest
amendments adopted by the COM
mittee is that the United States shall
have as many votes in the league of
nations as the British empi,e. Presi
dent Wilson will soon take the road
to tell the people why the peace
treaty and league of nations should be
swallowed whole, just as he has
dished them up. He will be followed
by other speakers, who will try to
convince the people that the Euro
pean stew prepared at Versailles may
not be good for Uncle Sans diges-

Wife Sues for Divorce-Raxor Used
on Clothes.
Clothes may not make the lady, but
they certainly make the divorce courts
work overtime sometimes, as attested
by two divorce suits filed at Reading,
Pa.
The allegation that her husband
wanted her to dress like an "old
woman" so other men would pass her
by is the basis Of the suit of Mabel E.
Hickman, who married Thomas Heck
man Il years ago In Allentown, while
a razor operation, said to have been
performed on his wife's hest attire by
Harry ]. Bush, to the detriment of her
matrimonial joy, is the background of
a similar action taken by his spouse,

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-10-24

Few men in the Upper Wenatchee
Valley have done more to develop the
country than S. P. Beecher. He was
among the first Of the progressive
citizens to locate in the Peshastin dis
trict and that was way back in 1898.
He bought forty acres, twenty of
which he set to apples, and thus COM
menced the first orchard of any size
in this now famous apple section.
Things were not moving very fast in
those days and the country was not
settling up as rapidly as he had hoped
it would, so in 1906 he conceived the
idea of acquiring and plating some
two hundred acres and placing it on
the market. He remarkable success
with this venture and the land was
soon sold. The high price of apple
land at that time in the lower valley
was causing new settlers to push far
Their up the valley and Peshastin be-
gan to settle up vely rapidly. 1t was
about this time that he built his first
irrigation ditch, taking water from

orchards in the world, and, in the
early spring time when the blossoms
are on the trees one beholds Won
derful sight.
Mr.. Beecher also erected one of the
most modern frost proof warehouses
on his place and his ranch equipment
is complete in every respect. This
year his apple crop has exceeded all
estimates. From present indications
he will have $1,000 boxes, and it is
barely possible that this number will
be exceeded. He sold his crop early
in the spring for $3.50 orchard run,
50 it can readily be seen that there
will be a nice little addition to the
Beecher bank account this fall.
In 1911 there was another scarcity
of water in the Peshastin district and
Mr.. Beecher took it upon himself to
furnish the supply. He organized
what is known as the Snow Creek
Water Co., and at cost of $4,000
went to the head of Snow creek a
tributary of the Icicle river, for his
water supply 1t was an expensive
undertaking, but he never faltered nor
permitted the work to stop until he
had water flowing thru the ditch. His
intake is 3,400 feet above sea level,
which is the highest elevation of any
water system in the entire Wenatchee
Valley. There is an abundant supply
of water in Snow creek and at the
present time the ditch is capable of
watering 1000 acres. BY building a
dam and reservoir at Snow Lakes he
would be able to supply water to 1000
or 5000 acres. There is now a de-
mand for more water among the resi-
dents around Peshastin and it is more
than likely that the Snow Creek
Water Co. will be compelled to en-
large its ditch in the near future.
From the above it can be seen that
S. P. Beecher has not been idle since
coming into the valley. He is Of the
energetic type Of citizen who is an
asset to a community. He thinks
things, then does them and is a most
liberal and public spirited citizen. He
is man that the Upper Wenatchee
Valley is fortunate in having in its
midst.

apples, or don't like to look upon Won
derful scenery, and hate to have good
fishing close at hand, or think you
are going to get along without hard
work or don't want to be one among
a fine lot of people.
The district offers many induce
ments to those who can work and
wait, but drones will find it just as
hard place as the one they left.
The ground will grow trees and the
trees will produce apples that home
lier fellow than the devil would have
no trouble in getting Eve to take on,
but the ground must be given fair
chance and the trees must be tended
like babies.
And an orchard doesn't come to
fruition all in minute, either. Five
six, seven, ten years, are often needed
to bring results. There is work in
plenty to be had to keep the pot boil
ing while the trees are growing and
when they do start to bear, "Oh, boy!
Dry farming and clean cultivation
will bring your trees thru their salad
days, but when maturity comes water
and a cover crop will keep them at
their best, and don't forget that there
is water in plenty.
I am glad I started my orchard.
