NICK KINSCHERF UNDER
BONDS TO KEEP PEACE

Nick kinscherf was taken into Gus
tody by the sheriff's office early this
week and placed under bonds to keen
the peace.
However everyone about town is
ready and willing to go on record as
to Nick Kinscherf's good qualities as
a citizen and man, and it is evident
that his trouble is not of his own
making, or else he has had more than
ordinary provocation.
The Echo publishers are not famil-
lar with all the personalities of the
community, but from what we can
gather Nick's troubles are due to an
unscrupulous neighbor and feminine
foolishness, more than to wrong do
ing on the part of anyone other than
the neghbor
If our advice were asked it would
be that people who cannot mind their
own business and keep out of the
troubles of other families should hit
the road and hit it hard-and keep
on hitting it, for communities are
sometimes aroused over little matters
and no one can tell just how soon the
old tar pot and antiquated feather
bed may be resorted to. We advise
against any unlawful act, however.

NEVER AGAIN.

The Great Northern Lumber Co
has had crew of men and steam
hoist at work removing the cross
wood from the old trestle in the mil
pond. This old timber. thousands
and thousands of feet of it, will be
usefully utilized in other works, and
never again will the small boy be
able to fish from the old trestle; not
will dad either for that matter. Afte
it was abandoned and the railroad
track laid around the edge of the
pond, the trestle became an ideal
place for the lazy fisherman who was
content to sit in the sun and angle for
whatever of the finny tribe might
come his way; and it was also used
by the youngsters in reaching the
Shoal water at the center of the pond
where many of them bathed.
Our town will continue on its way
through time-either as hustling.

TIVE JUICE.

ABERDEEN. - Prominent Aber-
deem moonshine manufacturers. in
terviewed concerning report that
macaroni has been used in distilla-
tion of Harbor-made whiskey, indir-
nantly denied that macaroni, verma-
cilli or spaghetti have been used for
such purposes by members of their
association. The report was credited
to Chief of Police Jesse L. Havens Of
Hoquiam, who Friday seized a box of
Italian paste under suspicious cir
cumstances," and is said now to be
conducting a searching investigation
of macaroni shipments to this county.
at is regrettable that statements
rejecting on the quality of moonshine
materials used by local manufactur-
ers should be made at this time"
said one producer, an officer of the
Grays Harbor Moonshiners' Protec-
tive Alliance and Cooperative Mar
keting Association. 81 may sta'o
with positive knowledge of the sub
ject that no member of our organiza-
tion is allowed to use any but the
best materials in producing liquor for
local consumption.
'1t has been the intention since
the inception of the industry so o
standardize our product that we may
compete with imported whiskies with
which the market is now being fool
ed. So strictly have we adhered to
this policy that unless we are hand-
capped by sudden curtailment of raw
materials or by other unforeseen dis
asters, we shall soon be able to in
wade other territory with our best
brands of liquor As to the macar-
oni theory, it must be advanced by
some one totally unfamiliar with our
industry in its supply, manufacturing
and distributing branches It would
be ridiculed by any moonshiner of
even limited experience"
Members of the association decla~n
that unless circulation of similar re-
ports is suppressed. they will appeal
to the authorities for protection.

SOME JOLT.

The Chelan News-Leader tells of
the following freak of lightning:
Mr. La Chapelle, who lives on the
Thos. Pattison ranch, had a remark
able experience Monday evening. The
building was struck by lightning
which played havoc with the furni-
ture and threw Mr.. LaChapelle
against some object in the room
breaking two ribs and leaving him
unconscious for a time. He was
pouring tea when it happened, and
the teapot in his hand was shattered
and melted out of shape. He was
wearing glasses and the rim around
one glass was melted and fused over
the glass, covering the glass with a
semi-transparent coating of metal,
and was entirely separated from the
nose piece and from the bow. Mr..
LaChapelle received no other harm,
except two broken ribs, but we don't
think he will want to try another
wrestling match with a bolt of light
ming very soon.

Wife AND SEVEN
CHILDREN DIE IN FIRE:
HOLD FATHER
EIGHT PERISH IN HOUSE BURN
ED IN NORTH IDAHO REGION.
VERDICT Is DEATH UNDER
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.

BONNERS FERRY, Idaho, July
1.-THE jury impaneled tonight by
Coroner C. d. Simons of Boundary
county to investigate the deaths u
| Mrs. John Rousch and her sever
children, who perished in their burn
! ing home near Copeland, 20 miles
north of here, at one o'clock this
morning, returned verdict that thf
victims died under suspicious circum-
stances.
John Rousch, the husband, and fa-
ther, who was the only member OF
the family to escape, was brought to
Bonners Ferry this afternoon by
Sheriff Dunning and is being held
pending further investigation of the
tragedy. He is suffering from Sigh,
burns. Neither the coroner sheriff
nor Mr. Rousch would make any
statement tonight
Sleeping Upstairs.
The family was sleeping in the
upper part Of the house, according ta
the report of the officers. who allege
that what appeared to them to be
wounds on the heads of the children
ranging from nine months to IA
years, led the coroner's jury to sus-
pect that fire was not the sole cause
of the deaths.
According to Rousch, he was awak-
ened by the flames and ran from the
house to get some water in a pail. He
was compelled to go some distance 10
get water, he said, and when he re-
turned the house was fully ablaze
In attempting to reenter and rescue
members of the family he was burn
ed.
Rousch telephoned the store a,
Copeland at 1:30 o'clock telling OF
the disaster. Soon after he left the
scene of the fire and went to his
homestead about five miles from
Copeland. He was taken into Gus
tody when Prosecuting Attorney O
c. Wilson, Coroner C. D. Simons and
Sheriff Dunning went to Copeland for
an investigation. Rousch is about 45
years old and has been living nea}
Copeland for about eight years.
No Witnesses.
No witnesses witnessed the frr
nor were at the scene of the disaster
until after word had been received
in Copeland of the death of the seven
children and the mother.
The only explanation of the origin
of the fire advanced by the neighbors
is that the family started a smudrc
to keep mosquitoes away from the
house Rousch is said to have de-
clared today that the whole family
was asleep when the fire broke out
and that he did not know how II
started

RAIL WORKERS GET
NICE WAGE RAISE
AND BACK PAY
BACK PAY FROM MAY 1st LAST
INCREASE EVIDENTLY VERY
SATISFACTORY TO MEN AT
THIS POINT.

The local railroad labor unions re-
ceived word Tuesday of the outcome
of the negotiations for increased pay,
and they are evidently very well
satisfied in this instance. The fol-
lowing is a schedule of the increased
pay granted as given us:
Passenger engineers and fremen,
so cents per day.
Freight engineers and fremen.
S104 per day.
Yard engineers and fremen, IS
cents per hour.
Passenger conductors and brake
men, $4,000 per month.
Freight conductors and brakemen,
$1.04 per day.
Shop employees, 13 cents per hour.
Carmen and helpers, 13 cents per
hour.
Coach cleaners, cents per hour
Common laborers, 10 cents per
hour.
General clerk, 10 to ~ cents per
hour.
Yard foremen increased to $696
per day; helpers to s6.4S per day.
Operators. 10 cents per hour
Dispatchers, 13 cents per hour.
fardmasters and assistant yard
masters, Is cents per hour.
They will receive back pay dating
from May 1 to make up the difference
between the wages drawn and what
they should have received at the new
rate.
This increase brings the pay of
railroad workers up to fairly reas-
enable daily OF monthly wage and
the public will endorse it, with the
fleeing that it will assure permanent
and lasting service - without the
probability of strikes in the near fu-
ture.

WINTER INJURED
TREES AND HOW TO
TREAT THEM
COUNTY AGENT WM. MEIKLE
MAKES PERTINENT SUGGES.
TlONS ON THIS SUBJECT. TOO
MUCH PRUNING FATAL.

Contrary to the old belief that win
ter injured trees should be heavily
pruned while dormant following the
freeze it has been conclusively shown
that heavy winter pruning is often
injurious to the extent of being ia
tai.
In the lower Yakima valley are
many stubbed off or dehorned peach
anh cherry trees now dead where
heavily pruned. In the same district
on neighboring trees where no prun-
ing was done there are good new tops
developing on the trees. Pruning
should be practically discontinued
until after growth starts or until
dormant the following winter on
practically all fruit trees and partic-
ularly stone fruit trees.
Irrigation and Fertilization.
Plenty of moisture should be given
to winter injured trees and it should
be constant but never excessive.
Since the root system and plant
food available is usually in excess Of
the ability of winter injured trees to
utilize it excessive fertilization
should be avoided A mulching with
manure would insure better and
more regular tree growth.
Pruning.
Cherries should be pruned immedi-
ately after the picking of the fruit.
All injured top wood should be re
moved. Other stone fruits such as
apricots, plum, prunes, and peaches
can be pruned as soon as new growth
is well established.
Winter injured pear and apple
trees need not be pruned until the
winter after the injury takes place
or in the latter part of the summer
following the freeze.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
RAIL WORKERS WAGES

There has been much misunder-
standing abong outsiders-the public
in generals to the amount of paw
received by railroad men, and the fol-
lowing old and new scales in some
of the principal classes of the rail
road service will be read with inter
est:
Passenger engineers day old
scale s560-6.60; new scale s6.40-
7.40
Freight engineers day, old scale
$6.6O-s52; new scale s7.64-9.56.
Yard engineers day, old scale
S5.60-6.0S new scale s7.O4-7.52
Passenger fremen (day). old scale
$too-5Oo; new scale s4.so-5.s0.
Freight firemen day, old scale
S4.25-615; new scale s5.2S-7.19.
Yard firemen (day), old scale
S5.3%; new scale s6.96
Helpers day, old scale $500; new
scale $6.4S.
Switch tenders day, old scale
800; new scale S5.04.
Machinists (hour). old scale 72c;
new scale S5c.
Boilermakcrs (hour), old scale
72c: new scale s5c.
Blacksmiths (hour), old scale 72c;
new scale s5c.
Car cleaners (hour). old scale 45c;
new scale SOC.
Track laborcrs (hour), old scale
Zoe: new scale As 1-2.c.
Section foreman fmonth), old scale
500; new scale $4,000.
Hostlers. outside day, old scale
$3.50; new scale 1924.
Hostlers. inside day, old scale
$3.50 1-2; new scale $3.50.
Yard fremen helpers (hour), old
scale SO 1-2c; new scale II 1-2c.
In the above it will be noticed that
the highest day wage is 1886 for
freight engineers. This wage would
be very satisfactory to one who was
at home all the time. but an engineer
is away from home half of the time
and must pay board and lodginr.
therefore II will be seen that even
The highest paid of those given above
IS only a reasonable amount.

ARE WE BECOMING NATION OF
HYPOCRITES?

With the Supreme Courts deciS-
ion UNFOLDING the constitutionality
of the Volstead prohibition enforce
ment act passed the last hope of
those who had dreamed of again par
taking of "beer, wine or other in
toxicating liquors" in places other
than their own homes of in the
homes of friends. The decision was
six to three. We agree with JUS
tice McReynolds, who said that the
Eighteenth Amendment had not yet
come into effect and that the Fed
eral Government had no general
power to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of liquor, and that the war
emergency under which national
prohibition was made effective had
passed. However, we also believe in
the finality Of the Supreme Court
and the legality of the procedure by
which the Eighteenth Amendment
was accomplished. We do not be-
lieve that absolute prohibition was
justified or that it represented the
majority opinion.
But that is not the issue that is
now involved. We have prohibition
and that prohibition is legal accord
ing to the highest Court in the land.
Now let us sec what the result will
be. The horrors Of wood alcohol
have been impressed upon the cOun-
try. Now the question will be
whether we are to become a nation
of hypocrtics and continue to take

bitiOn or for a stringent enforce
