NARROW ESCAPE
MONDAY NEAR SUMMIT
OF BlfWFTT PASS
TWO AUTOS CRASH HEAD-ON
ON HIGH PLACE; NO FATAL
TIES; MACHINES CONSIDER
ABLY DAMAGED.

Mr.. B. H. Bryan, manager of the
]. c. Penney Co. store at Leaven-
worth, has a badly cut face as the re.
suit on an accident on Blewett Pass
Monday, when he and Mrs. Bryan and
Mr., and Mrs. J. W. Taylor were com
ing over from Seattle.
They were coming up on the othe;
side, about two miles from the sum
nit, when on rounding a curve they
were met by another auto, driven by
a lady of party of tourists. lnSteac
of hugging the bank to her right, tn,
lady allowed her machine to cut
across and the two came together
head-on right on the brink of the
chasm. Both machines were consid-
erably damaged. The windshield Of
the auto in which Mr. Bryan anc
party We're returning was shattera,
and Mr.. Bryan sustained several bac
cuts about his face, which bled pro
fusely, leading the others to believe
that he was badly hurt; but fortu-
nately none of the cuts proved seri-
Gus.
Their steering gear was stripped
and it took them about three hours Il
remedy it so that they could come or
home; but aside from the broker
glass and damage to the steering
gear the auto was not damaged tc
any extent. Mr.. Bryan bled so much
that his clothing was saturated anC
his appearance certainly was enough
to be alarming.
The other machine had its radiator
smashed but otherwise was not much
damaged and the party was enabled
to coast on down toward Gle Elum
None of their party was hurt.
Mr.. Bryan says that after repair
ing their auto and resuming the triT
home, they were very nearly hi
again by another machine, due to thu
carelessness of the driver in round
ing point at such a speed that theJ
were barely able to dodge each other

ORCHARD SOIL EXCURSION.

IeaVenworth Fr1fit Groyverc

To Peshastin, Dryden and
Leavenworth Fruit Growers,
Dear Sirs:-
On Friday afternoon from 80 20
$50 there will be an orchard soil ex-
cursion at Peshastin. We will meet
at the Grange Hall by the church a,
the corner of the Blewett. Leaven-
worth and Wenatchee roads.
Investigation here in the valley
shows that frost injury and June
drop is more result of soil condi-
tion than weather condition. Rov
Larsen, County Soil Specialist. and
VIM. Meikle, County Agent. will ex-
plain and demonstrate fully methods
being used by other growers to elm
mate the above troubles.
From the Grange Hall we will 90
irst to the NJ W. Starks orchard To
study the experimental plot beino
conducted there. After this a nun
ber of orchards will be visited finish
ing the day in the Frank Wingate or
chard which shows some of the best
conditions in the valley.
For further particulars get in
touch with Frank Wingate, acting
for NJ. ". Starks as Farm Bureau

THIRD PARTY TO
FIGHT It OUT ON
ITS own MERITS
RADICALS REJECT MAJORITY
REPORT OF CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE. WIN. SHORT De-
FEATED IN FIGHT.

Organized labor of Washington
represented in the Triple Alliance
convention at Yakima last week,
joined hands with the state commit
tee of as and declared for creation
of the Farmer-Labor party in the
state. The vote was 149 for the new
party and 81 against.
William NJ. Short led the fight on
the floor for adoption of the major
ity report of the joint committee of
the radical conventions, but when he
had been beaten by the vote of 149
to 81 he moved adoption of the mi
nirity report.
The Railwaymens Welfare league
early in the day voted unanimously
to adopt the majority report of the
joint conference committee on pol
icy, which recommended that instead
of forming new party the consoli-
dated political units invade the re-
publican primaries.
The Farmers Nonpartisan league
first voted to adopt the majority re-
port, but later rescinded its action
and reopened the discussion.
Frank Pease, representing the
Private Soldiers and Sailors league,
said that his organization would
support the national ticket of the
Farmer-Labor party, but that he ia
vored the republican party through
which to operate in state politics
He warned that third party in the
state would be branded as Bolshevis-
tic and would 90 down to defeat un-
der the stigma.
The socialists are expected to 30
with the new party in the state cam
paign, assurances having been given
to the convention to that effect. They,
however, will vote for Debs for presi-
dent.
The victory for the third party IN
the Triple Alliance convention was
not achieved without some personal
rancor and resentment. But once the
die was cast the delegates who had
opposed its creation manifested their

The Echo's subscription price will
be $500 per year instead of $4.G0
The privilege of paying up for one

is not changed, and may be taken adj
vantage of up to Aug. Is. After that
date the price will absolutely not be
deviated from.
Remember, $500 per year after
Aug. IS.
The drop from $4.O0 to $500 is made
because The Echo desires to be of the
greatest possible service to Leaven-
worth and the whole community. The
price of $4.00 formerly decided upon
is not too high, considering the cost
of paper and production; but consd-
cred in connection with what news
papers have cost readers for the pa 4
forty or fifty years, it seems high.
Therefore in order to hold all

ChAUTAUQUA OPENS
NEXT SUNDAY
ELIISON-WHTTE CONCERN TO
PUT ON SIX DAY COURSE IN
GLIDING BEST TALENT OBJ
TAtNABLE.

The Chautauqua course will open
Sunday at Leavenworth and continue
until Friday evening.
The Chautauqua has become com
mon to the small community only
within very recent years. Twenty
years ago they We're held only in
popular resorts where only those hav-
ing leisure and the means of taking a
vacation could attend. A few years
later the county Chautauqua appear
ed and then some eight or ten years
ago they were introduced into nearly
every town of the whole country.
The Chautauqua has considerable
value educationally as usually emf
nent lecturers are brought out to the
people, and the best thought is dis
seminated. Good music is usually
provided and much of the best in
theatricals is had.
The Chautauqua is available only
upon the guarantee of a number of
reliable citizens. The expenses of a
course is claimed, and presumably is.
too great for the management to take
the risk of opening course without
the guarantee. This local backing IS
organized for the purpose of secur-
ing the sale of sufficient tickets to in
sure financial success. Sometimes
these local hackers come out with a
surplus. Most often they make up a
deficit. IF there is surplus it is car
ried over to the next season and the
local hackers of the course have it 10
their credit.
Our conclusion is that the Chautau-
qua is a good institution to support
because it furnishes good, wholesome
entertainments for all at a nominal
cost, and most of the proceeds go to
the talented people who entertain us
Let us then give the coming course
our hearty and liberal support Every
person in the whole region should at
tend as often as circumstances will
permit, and remember that you can
save money by buying a season tic
ket
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the program for the six DAYS
also illustrated writ-ups of some OF

Chautauqua will be held this yeal
at the new Gymnasium-Auditorium
on the school grounds.

Under the election law the Farm

BURGLARS TRY
SAFES AT WfNATCHff
AND WATERV|LIf
SUCCESSFUL EFFORT AT WEN
ATCHEE; WATERVILLE TRIAL.
MEETS WITH FAILURE. BUSI-
NESS MEN WARNED.

World: Burglars attempted to open
three safes Saturday night, two at
Waterville and one at Wenatchee. Sc
curing nearly 500 here in cash, but
| failing to break the Waterville safes.
Monday morning Sheriff Davis of
Douglas county telephoned to Sher-
iff McManus that robbers had tried 10
| open two safes in the Rogers & Howe
Mercantile Store at Waterville Sat
urday night or early Sunday morn
ing. They had broken off the knob of
the combination and tried to pry out
the tumblers of the combination with
Jimmy but had failed in both
cases to do so. Neither of the safes
had evidently been opened At least
they were closed so tight that an ex-
pert would have to be secured to
gain entrance to them.
Two men in a Buick car were seen
about 2 o'clock on the road just out
side of Waterville. They stopped an
automobiles to inquire the road to
Soap Lake. The man of whom they
inquired gave them the desired infor-
nation, but being suspicious of their
manner, he watched them, and noted
that they took the road to Wenatchee
instead of the one he had directed
them to take for Soap Lake.
Lumber Safe Opened.
Monday morning when yard man
John Powers of the Columbia Valley
Lumber Co. opened the wood and
coal office on Ferry street near the
Columbia river bridge, he found thai
the safe had been opened and its
contents scattered around the office
All the money. amounting to a lit
lie less than 500, was gone, but
checks, contracts and other valuable
papers, were found on the floor, on
the desks and in the private office.
The method of opening the safe
was the same in this case as that used
in the Rogers & Howe store. The
combination had been driven in so
hard that the inner lining of the safe
door was badly bent
The robbers had gained entrance
to the office by prying open a large
window and breaking the catch that
held it shut. They had carefully
shut the window after them upon
leaving, and had also closed the door
of the safe, so that night watch
man, if any had been on duty, might
not suspect anything wrong, unless a
careful examination of the office had
been made.
No Clue Is Found.
There was no clue left which might
lead to the detection of the robbers
The safe was a large one, made by
the Hall Safe & Lock Co. There IS
no watchman employed in the di =
trict where the robbery occurred, and
it is impossible for the police to pa
troll this section regularly
1t is the usual custom to deposit all
money taken in during the day, every
night, but on account of the bank
closing at noon Saturday, the re
! ceipts for that day We're left in the
safe. The firm has burglary insur-
ance covering all the safes. Recently
branch yard office owned by the
company in West Seattle was robbed
in similar manner.
