YOUNGSTfR ON PAROLE
AT POOR FARM TAXES
FRENCH LEAVE
TIRED OF LIFE AT THE PESHAS-
TIN COUNTY FARM. LEAVES
NOTE THREATENING TO JOIN
THE FISHES.

Halbert Macy. young fellow who
was in the custody of the Sherff's Of
/ flee and who had been sent TO the
poor farm to spend a few days pend
ing his hearing which fas to have
been held on Monday. April ). wrote
note and then took French leave
and at this writing had not been aD-
pretended nor even a clue as to MS
whereabouts discovered.
Macy was but boy about sixteen
we were told. and it seems that when
he was sent to the poor farm instead
of being cooped up with the regular
run at the county bastile. he thought
that he had but a few days to serve
there and would then be free. One
day last week, however, the manager
at the farm was advised that the
boys trial was to be held Monday
and it is thought that he overheard
the conversation. for II is said
change came over him shortly after
wards and Sunday morning he was
gone. He had written a note which
he left, saying that ne was tired of
the farm and would sooner die than
go on as he had been and expressing
a wish to join the fishes. but this is
taken as merely bluff, for before
leaving he went out TO the Ford be
longing to the management and tore
out the wires 30 that the machine
could not be operated until they mad
been replaced, and then on his way
about a mile from the farm he got IN
some further work to hinder those
who might be seeking him by bind
ing the four telephone wires together
with a piece of barbed wire. short
circuiting the phone system. and
then continued on his way.
When his departure was discovered
it took considerable time to get in
touch with other farms and town,
and the search was greatly hindered,
so that his chances Of making his es-
cape were very good.

STREET SIGNS COMPLETED.

The signs for the streets Of Leav-
enworth have been completed by the
manual training department of the
city schools and will no doubt soon be
put up in their proper places about
town by the street commissioners
department.
The matter of making. painting
and lettering these signs by the
manual training department deserves
the hearty commentator of every
one. Not only did Mr. Bickcl and the
members of the class show their viii
lingness to contribute lot of labor
to the city's welfare, but they saved
the taxpayers a nice sum of money
which may be used for some Other
improvement.
The Echo voices the sentiment Of
all when it eytends to the school boys
and their mentor in the manual
training department hearty thanks
for what they did in such a thorough
and artistic manner.

POPULATION NEARLY 1900.

According to published report the
population of Leavenworth as taken
by the census enumerator is 1871. or
seven short of 1900 This of course
includes only those of our people who
live within the corporate limits of the
city and not those who reside just out
side, which would bring the real pop
ulation of the city considerable high
er. But a population of 1900 in
round numbers makes a city that
ought to be a model in many re-
spects. and in progressiveness it
ought to set a pace that would keep
the larger cities busy TO follow. Let
us that that it does so. Let's have
no quarrels and no bitterness
and no contentious excepting
in the effort to sec whom can
he the most public spirited and best
builder in a contest to make a larger
and better city of Leavenworth.

A the last regular meeting of Vic

better and more commodious quarters

of the Masonic Hall for regular
meeting place and hereafter will
meet regularly there every first and

A veiled hint was dropped by one of
the officers of the Post that at tho
next regular meeting on April 21st
something in the way of a pleasant
surprise may be expected by all
members of the American Legion IN

TWO MOSCOW MEN
GET ORCHARD TRACTS
GAISER BROTHERS, OF MOSCOW
FORTUNATE IN SECURING
GOOD LAND.

Fred and John Gaiser attended the
Bondholders' sale of the Lewiston
Orchard Tracts at Lewiston last Sat
urday and were fortunate enough to
gct two Of the choice pieces. They
report large crowd in attendance at
the sale, at which there was a barbe-
cue and at which Governor Davis
gave an address.
The two gentlemen reported keen
interest in the sale, at which a ma
jority of the tracts were closed out.
Most of the purchasers were from the
country around Lewiston and bought
the tracts for homesites, the school
facilities of Lewiston making a speci-
al appeal to them.
The Governor in his address prais-
ed these tracts and said that he felt
there was some of the best land in
the world there and that he could
not see how anyone could make
mistake in buying.
The Fred B. Grinnell Company
who had charge Of this sale, announce
that the remaining tracts will be
closed out at once and that anyone
who is interested should make it a
point to get in touch with them i'm
mediately if they wish to get one Of
these choice tracts.

RUSSIA WILL HAVE
WHEAT FOR EXPORT
CLAIM THAT COUNTRY WILL
HAVE 18O,0OO,OOO BUSHELS
MORE THAN NEEDED.

BERLIN-(By A. P.)-The Rus
sian soviet republic has about $780,
100000 bushels of wheat at it's dis
posal this year, according to state
ment made to the Red Flag, local
communist organ, by DIR. Schlowsky
who has arrived here from Moscow
Schlowsky is said to be in the So
viet's diplomatic service and was for
merly legation counsellor in Berne.
He says that 225,O00,000 bushels
of wheat are nominally needed to
feed Russia but the government is
confident it will pull through the
coming winter.
The food and transport situation,
he said is also showing improvement.
Dr. Schlowsky said that General
Wrangel, commander of the troops
fighting the bolsheviki in southern
Russia, would be disposed Of within
a few weeks. He added that, while
General Wrangeps forces were esti-
mated at slightly more than 100000
his reliable fighting army consisted
of only $4,000, chiefly former troops
of General Denikine who was defeat
ed by the bolsheviki
