HERE FROM OLD MEXICO.

p. j. Mcintyre, of HermosiIlo, Sen
ora, Mexico, arrived here last week
and in conversation with an Echo man
mentioned that Villa, the noted Mex
can rebel, had been a neighbor of his
for long term of years. Mr.. McIn-
eyre says that Villa is one of the fin
est men he has ever known. Villa,
he says, was born in Tucson, A rizona,
and was educated at Berkley. Calf.
Mr. Mcintyre has lived for thirty
years in Mexico and was there with
his family all through the turbulent
times of the past few years, but had
no trouble of any kind and was not
disturbed. We gathered from his talk
that he at no time considered either
himself or his family or those of other
Americans in any danger, and t
would seem that conditions have at no
time been as bad as was pictured by
politicians of the Southwestern states
and their newspaper correspondents.

MARGARET 0'lEARY
LOCAL CANDIDATE FOR
CARNIVAL QUEEN
LEAVENWORTH ELKS MAKING
STRENUOUS EFFORT TO HAVE
HONOR FOR LOCAL GIRL IN
WENATCHEE "HAPPY LAND"

The Elks of North Central Wash
ington are to have a carnival at Wen
atchee, beginning Sept. %, and a
queen is to be elected of the Elks'
Happy Land. All the towns in the
district have candidates-several of
them. Leavenworth Elks centered on
one candidate-Miss Margaret o.
Leary-and they are making a united
effort to have her win. They invite
everyone to help by buying tickets
and assuring her of the votes.
Miss O'Leary will surely be credit
to her home city, if elected, and we all
should lend whatever aid we can af-
ford. All funds realized from the
carnival and contest for queen 90 in
to the building fund of the order, il
being planned to erect an Elks' temple
whenever the necessary money is in
sight.
Wednesday, Sept. 30, will be Leav-
enworth night at the Carnival and
everyone, whether an Elk or not, is
urged to attend the big doings and
boost for the Leavenworth queen.

TO FOLLOW
ON HEELS OF DIVORCE.
Mrs. Ella HOwertOn Married Within
One Year Limit.

World Superior Judge Grimshaw
Friday instructed the Prosecuting At.
torney to proceed against Mrs. Ella
Howerton for violating the state law
which prohibits divorced person
from marrying within one year. Ac-
cording to testimony of Lee J. Hover
ten, he and his wife went to Idaho and
were married within one month after
she had secured a divorce in this
state. He did not know of this fact
until later when he applied for an an
nullment of his marriage which was
granted by Judge Grimshaw on Fri
day.
F. A. Hintz was granted divorce
from Sara Hintz on the grounds of de-
sertion, Friday, in the Superior Court.

COUNTY BUDGET
SHOWS INCREASE OF
$23O,O00.OO
OF S596,5OO PROVIDED
FOR GENERAL COUNTY PUR-
POSES INCLUDES 100000 FOR
BUILDING NEW COURT HOUSE.

Chelan county will expend $23O,0
more for the conduct of its various de-
partments during the coming yeal
than was appropriated for 1920, II
the budget as finally completed by the
county commissioners Thursday is
finally adopted.
Total expenditures of $596,500 are
provided in the budget for next year
as compared with $366,995, the
amount that went in to the tax roll
in October 1919 for general county
purposes.
This does not include school dis
trict taxes which were 1921 ,446 last
year, nor does it include state taxes
amounting last year to $183,773.
Municipal taxes are not yet ready for
inclusion in the tax roll of the vari-
Gus Incorporated cities and towns.
These amounted last year to $99,141.
There are also the various reclama-
tion district taxes and assessments
which apply only to the land incud-
eC in the districts affected.
The commissioners have until the
first week in October to make chang
ee in the budget However, none of
the items can be increased, they can
only be pruned off, if necessary and
advisable.
The biggest item in the budget is
the appropriation of 100000 for a
rev court house. Last year an item
of $54 800 was put in the tax roll for
this purpose making a total of 1884,
900 which will be available of the
present budget stands.
The commissioners include an item
Of $4,000 for the soil fertility bureau
as compared with $4,250 last year.
AS much as $4,000 or $4,000 was re-
quested by committee from tho
Wenatchee Commercial Club which
called upon the commissioners some
time ago.
The following comparison is made
between the budget for 1921 and the
amount expended by the various de-
partments in 1919. In some cases
there was no appropriation made for
the same purpose two years ago, such
as the county soil fertility bureau,
etc. No comparison can he made be-
tween the road districts as there were
six of them in 1919 and only three AT
present

NO so MUCH AS THAT.

E. c. Longs campaign was a
quiet but effective one that reached
into every part of the district. Mr..
Long is too old and too astute a poll

there was really no demand for a
change. Honors were about even
between him and Mr.. Hickey around

Commission has finally determined
that there can be no open season for
Chinese Pheasants and Hungarian
partridges this year. The supreme
court, the attorney general and the

decided against an open season.
Every effort was made to find some
authority for declaring an open sea-
son, but without avail.

"THE ADVANTAGES AND OPPOR-
TUNITIES OF THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON.' is TITLE; PRE-
PARED BY HARRY F. GILES.

One of the most complete books of a
general nature on the State as a whole
has just been issued by the State Bu-
reau of Statistics & immigration, one
of the divisions of the office of the
Secretary of State, j. Grant Hinkle.
The book which is entitled, "The
Advantages and Opportunities of the
State of Washington" for Home
builders, Investors, and Travellers, was
prepared by Harry F. Giles, Deputy
Commissioner of the Bureau of Stats
tics and immigration, and is for the
purpose Of influencing immigration to
the state, to encourage the develop
ment of our latent resources and to
answer the many questions of those
seeking new locations in which to ex-
ercise their talents or to make their
homes.
The first chapter is in the nature of
a summary of the States progress
and resources and includes paragraphs
under the following heads: Area and
population, Western Washington,
Eastern Washington, Okanogan High
lands, Columbia Plain, Climate Crops,
Dairying, Livestock, and Poultry.
Public Lands, Private Lands, Trriga-
ton, Prices of Land, Lumber, Fisher
les, Mining, Water Power, Ship
Building, Commerce and Finance,
Transportation, Highways, Education

tions.
The rest of the book is devoted to
the 80 counties and the most import

state.
The counties are arranged in seven
groups: The Puget Sound Group, the
Olympic Peninsula, Southwest Wash
irgton the Yakima and Wenatchee

ed as to its topography, soil, climate,
t'pNie'Ii'ii, liiluS' pllCeS VI ldnUs, re-
sources, industries. markets, trans
portation facilities, highways and ed
ucational and social conditions.
The cities are described as to loca-
ton, transportation facilities, leading
industries, business transactions, To-
cal improvements, educational advan-
tages, population and general prog
ress.
One of the most attractive features
of the publication is a number of beau

the scenes which are most common in
Washington and suggesting the kind
Of development which can be duplicat-
ed with intelligent effort.
The book also contains a number of
statistical tables and small map and
is well indexed. All information is
from reliable sources and has been
told in clear, concise language.

SPOKANE MERCHANTS
SPECIAL ARRIVED EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORN
BIG BUNCH OF BOOSTERS BOOM
BIG BEND BUSINESS AND

NABOBS.

The Spokane Merchant Associa-
tons special train arrived at Leavcn
worth early Wednesday morning and
our town was given the once-over bv
the visitors and acquaintances started
or renewed that ought in time bring
about mutual benefit.
The visitors were "chaperoned" by
such men as General Superintendent
Elliott and District Freight Agent
Merritt of the Great Northern and Bob
Glen of the Spokesman-Rev and
included some seventy-five of the lead
ing manufacturers and jobbers of Spo-
kane.
The train was made up of first din
ing car, several "sleepers," baggage
car, Elliott's special car and day
coaches, and was dubbed by some To-
cal wag as the Spokane profiteers
special, an unkind way of treating our
guests, for the gentlemen aboard were
just human beings like the average
run, only that they happen to be cast
in little different role with bigger
"rolls" perhaps) than some of US. But
their object in life is not much diff
fcrent than ours-to live in the best
manner that their talents will permit.
Leavenworth did not suffer by the
visit. The gentlemen were much
pleased with our little city and its
surroundings.
The Echo, voicing the sentiment of
our people, expresses the hope that
they may return at some other time.
