RECEPTION TO TEACHERS.

The citizens of Leavenworth gave a
reception for the teachers Friday eve
ring Of last week in the new Auditor
um, and the nice crowd present en-
ioyed good social time.
Formally of Introduction was done
away with by pinning the name on
each person as they entered the room
thus privileging them to visit with
anyone present, parent, teacher or stu
dent, without the usual form and cero-
mony of introduction.
A short program was prepared by
local talent, as follows:
Mrs. L. J. Nelson. president of tho
Board of Education, gave the address
of welcome, which was interestingly
responded to by Supt Sutton.
Then followed song by Ethel Codd
accompanied by Mary Nelson.
Professor and Mrs. Curtis gave 4
duet on guitars, and Mrs. A. c. John
son sang, accompanied by Mrs. Cur
It's.
This was followed by series Of
pantomimic stunts, such as painting
fishing, oratory, and many others,
which afforded much amusement.
"Wine" and waters were served and
a social hour keeping all busy until
ten-thirty.
For an occasion of this sort, or for
any gathering of public nature, the
new GymnasiumAuditorium affords
ideal accommodation, and for the
teachers reception its natural beauty
had been greatly enhanced by the
proper placing of autumn leaves and
flowers.

COUNTY CANDIDATES
ARE VERY THRIFTY
IN CAMPAIGN
TOTAL OF S1.106.55 EXPENDED
BY THOSE WHO RAN AND
THOSE WHO ALSO RAN FOR
COUNTY OFFICE.

Candidates for county Offices in Che
Ian county conducted very thrifty
campaign for the primary election ac-
cCrdlng to statements filed with the
county auditor. A total of S1.1O6.55
was expended by them altogether,
which was only a little more than the
necessary filing fees.
The campaign for the nomination
for representative in the legislature
on the republican ticket proved to be
the most expensive one. D. s. McKin-
stry spent S2372o, f. NJ. Gillette $40
and G. w. Milham $3.50.
For Sheriff r. O. Forsyth spent $40.
Vic Miller $3.50, and II K. Lennon
$3.50. For Justice of the Peace in
Wenatchee, John F. Porter expended
$3.50 and G. p. Conner S32. For
constable of Wenatchee. l.. T. Arm
strong spent S22 and J, NJ, Chambers
S25.
The contest for commissioner in tho
third district cost Stewart Johnson
S3l and T. H. Atkinson S25.
For most of the county offices there
was no contest and the lone candidat-
es contented themselves with the
necessary filing fee. However, Sam
z. Sumner blew himself for total Of
so, though the filing fee was only
800.
J. L. Campbell spent $3.50 on the
campaign for the nomination for su-
perintendent Of schools, while F. c.
Bowersox only spent the filing fee Of
$50
Others who only spent the filing fee
were Judge Grimshaw. $45, c. f. But
ties, $40; A. A. Stevens, $40; John
Duff, $40; F.. A. Carroll, democratic
candidate for representative; r. A.
Scheble, $50; A. Jay Templeton, $40;
and F.. c. Long s15 Matt Hickey
spent an additional 81 for a box of
chocolates, making his total expense
of the campaign SIS. With present
salaries and living expenses candidat-
es for county office claim they cannot
afford to conduct an expensive cam
paign for the nomination or election.

ROBERT BRIDGES
FARMER LABOR
CANDIDATE SPEAKS
BIG LEANENWORTH AUDIENCE
GREETS CANDIDATE AND
GAVE HIM CORDIAL RECEP-
TION AND ATTENTION.

Robert Bridges, Farmer Labor can
Gidate for governor Of Washington.
spoke Monday afternoon at the Scene
theatre to a good house and was listen
ed to closely and given cordial an
enthusiastic reception.
F. Fl. Ball, acting as chairman. first
introduced the different candidate, of
the party for legislative and county
offices and then Joel Shoemaker, who
accompanied Mr. Bridges, and who
spoke briefly and asked that the hat
be passed to take mp collection to a..
sist in defraying expenses of the state
and county compaign. which was com
piled with.
Mr. Bridges was then introduced
and spoke for nearly two hours. He
told Of his service as public land com
missioner and his eight years on the
hsrbor commission at Seattle, where
he said he served without pay The
outstanding points of his argument
was for public-owned warehouses and
facilities. the manufacture and distri-
button of sugar from beets. promising
S1s instead Of the present price of $40
rer ton for heets; the telling Of the
question of whether a work woman
needed a night dress or not coming up
before the public welfare commission
and the alleged decision of the com
mission that she did not also the
question as to whether she needed
money with which to support her
church, buy sweets or attend theatre
and the alleged decision Of the board
that she did not; support of the So
called Plumb plan, and other matters.
Mr.. Bridges is fluent talker and
large portion of his audience was in
sympathy with every utterance,
though many were present for the
purpose of listening to the argument
with view to support at the polls of
the candidate which best suit their
Judgment.
The Echo takes the view that all
candidates be given a fair hearing.
that all party claims and platforms
he studied and that the record or
standing of the men in power in the
parties be scrutinized, and that when
this is done (without appeal TO prdiu
dice) the result at the election in No
vember will prove to be for the best
interest of the state.
One mistake, however, that perhaps
every political speaker makes is the
appeal to class preiudice This mis-
take. we desire to say. is not confined
to any one party. All make it, and
every voter should put aside any such
talk in forming their Judgment and
deciding for whom they shall vote.

HOW ABOUT THE CITY TICKET?

Candidates for city offices seem to
be scarce, but three having filed at
this writing. They are A. C. Barclay
for alderman-at- large; r. F. Taylor
for treasurer, and f. G. Gowing for
city clerk; all of whom have filed on
the "citizens" ticket.
The Echo regards it as for the best
interests of the city that party lines
be not drawn in city matters. and
hopes that we may have good officers
elected to all positions, and we urge
though that candidates be gotten out
at once for mayor and aldermen of the
different wards. The time is short. To-
morroy being the last day for fling
for the city primary, which will be
held on Nov. 2, the same day as the
general election.

WASTING APPLES.

Its the same old story, "brlised ap-

stem punctured apples each year
finds us in the same old rut, all the
lard work previous to gathering the
crop, as pruning, brush picking, cult
waiting, irrigating, thinning and
propping the bending limbs, and then
"bruising' starts at the very begin
ming of picking season.

AN.UNDERGROUND
SYSTEM TO BRING
JAPANESE TOU. S.
Thousands Brought Into Coun-
try by Way of Honolulu :
And Mexico.

Tacoma. Wash, Aug. 2.-Definite
location of the underground sys-
TEN" on the Pacific coast by which
thousands of Japanese are snug
gled into the United States yearly,
was announced here by Congress
man Albert Johnson, chairman of the
house subcommittee OH immigration
and Naturalization which he assem-
bled to investigate Japanese activi-
T ties in the northwest.
Until we came to the northwest
we had only an lndefini- -e idea Of the
operations by which Japaneesssfe be-
ing brought surreptitiously into the
United States" said Chairman John
son. Now we have the key, so to
speak. ...
"We have found that the japanese
underground system begins at Yo-
kohama. From thence it leads to
Honolulu and extends on across the
to Guaymas on the Gulf of
California. Here, either by water or
across the border, the Japanese i'll
vaders are smuggled into the United
States. -
A perfect system of escort has
been established. In Honolulu and
at Glaymas, posts have been estab-
llsfed which take care of the details
of the smuggling. Mexican guards
are knowa to have been bribed with
SIG at the United States-M Mexican
border. The same careful system
of escort has been established both
at Yokohama and Hon olulu.
Once the Japanese is smuggled
into California, he is taken in tow by
some member of the Japanese asso-
ciation, branches of which are in
Oregon and Washington. He is
taken to the bank and his credit es-
tablished by substantial deposit.
Then he goes out into the vine
yards or into the agricultural dis
tricts and hides for five years. At
the expiration of this time he can
come out of seclusion. If he is
questioned by the government au-
thorities as to his residence here, he
can quickly establish this by taking
the authorities to the bank where
five years before he made his first
deposit. This establishes his bona
tide residence of five years as re-
qlired by the statute
