FIRE FIGHTERS
NARROWLY ESCAPE
DEATH ON ROAD
LEE +. CHARTRAND, FOREST
RANGER. AND TWO COMPAN-
IONS. IN AUTO ACCIDENT
LAST FRIDAY.

World, July 10: Forest Ranger
Lee F. Chartrand, in charge of the
Cashmere District of the Wenatchee
National Forest, and Pete Karapang
and man named Morris, fire fight
ers, narrowly escaped death yester-
day when the car in which they were
riding was wrecked up the Squll-
chuck. karapang suffered a broken
arm, and Chartrand and Morris were
bruised and cut, but not seriously
One of the wheel hubs was stripped
just as the car started down the hill
near the Wheeler ranch. The brakes
were put out of commission, and the
emergency was not strong enough 20
hold the car. The party faced
drop of several hundred feet on one
side of the road and barbed wire
fence and open field sloping up from
the road on the other. Chartrand,
who was driving, steered the car for
the fence, but as it left the road the
front wheel broke, causing it to turn
turtle.
Pete Wheeler brought the injured
men to the hospital at Wenatchee.
Ranger Chartrand had taken
crew of fire fighters, and supplies, to
the Bee Hive Station for the Devils
Gulch fire which is burning at the
head Of Mission Creek, when the re-
port came in that a fire was burning
at Landreth Brothers mill on the
Stemilt He drove to this fire with
karapang and Morris The forest
ers found the fire under control Of
the mill crew. The accident occur
red as they were returning from tho
fire.
The fire at the mill started near
the road and was no doubt due. Mr..
Chartrand said, to some careless
person tossing lighted match or
burning cigarette from car The
fire burned over a considerable area
and destroyed several thousand feet
of timber. Anyone who through
carelessness starts a fire in the for
est is as guilty as the man who starts
a fire maliciously. He should no,
expect any leniency if he is caught.

PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENT.
Subscription Price Goes to 81 Per
Year Aug. Is, Owing to Increased
Cost of Paper and Production.

The publishers of the Leavenworth
Echo, in conformity to the action of
other weekly newspapers throughout
the state, have decided to increase
the subscription price of the paper to
81 per year, beginning Aug. Is. Sub
scriptions paid prior to Aug. Is,
1920, will be accepted at the old rate
of 81 per year, for both arrearages
and renewals and also for new sub
scribers.
On and after August Is, 1920, the
subscription price of the Echo will
positively be S4 per year.
This increase of price has been un-
der consideration for several weeks
indeed for several months, but we
have been loath to make it. However
we are forced to do so, for the reason
that since the present publishers
came to Leavenworth last October
the price of paper used in the Echo
has more than doubled, and freight
and express charges have been in
creased and other items of cost have
gone up. As an illustration: Many
years ago when newspapers were
selling at 81 and S150 per year print
paper was bought by the country
publishers at as low as S1.60 per
hundred pounds. Prices went up
somewhat until just before the war
paper was selling in small lots at So
to SO per hundred. Now news print
costs in ton lots about $120, and in
hundred weight shipments about SIS
By buying in ton lots. paying cash
| and taking every advantage possible
of market conditions the Echo pub
ishers have been unable to make news
print bills and subscription receipts
come any where near balancing, t.
say nothing of profit, and it is CON
sidered by all business-like publish
ers that subscription payments and
print paper bills, postage and a small
| portion of the cost of typesetting and
press work should balance. At 81
per year we may in time get on to a
business basis. But remember that
we are now giving everyone the OPP
portunity during the next thirty days
to pay up arrearages and renew for
as many years as desired at the old
rate of 50 per year Be sure that you
take advantage of this offer. Tell
your neighbors about it too for they
may be contemplating getting the
| paper.
And at this time we desire to say
a few words in appreciation of the
patronage we have enjoyed. During
the past few months our subscription
list has had quite a substantial
growth and the business generally
has been quite satisfactory, with the
exception of the deficit in the sub
scription department. We heartily
appreciate every bit of business We
have received and shall strive tC
make the Echo better and better.

 Now don't understand that I am 1usti- flying the man in the case.

 'I say it is little early for the news. I know what the news is, of course. It is that the late hard freeze has ruined the Delaware peach crop.

Peter Discovers Surprising Relationships
By THORNTo N W. BURGESS I've always more or less suspected That somehow we re all connected

Jumper Stared at the other three. On all four faces was the funniest of expressions. Peter was the first to find his tongue. of you please" said he. T guess we don't know what you mean by an order.'
 T suspected as much" said Old Mother Nature. Tn the first place, all the ami mals of the Great World are divided into big groups or divisions. These are again divided into smaller groups, and these into still smaller groups. Happy Jack and Chfterer belong to group called the Squirrel family Peter and Jumper be- long to a group called the Hare family. Both families and several others belong to a larger group called an order and this order is the order of Gnawers or Ro- dents''
 Peter Rabbit fairly jumped up in the air, he was so excited. Then Jumper and must be related to Happy Jack and Chatterer! he cried. ss/ N Tn a way you are," replied Old Mother nNature. Tt isn't very close relation |ship, still you are related. All of you are Rodents So are all the members of the Rat and Mouse family the Porcupine family, the Pocket Gopher family, the Pika family and the Swellell family"

 NOW, as you and Jumper have learned about your family, it is the turn of Happy Jack and Chatterer to learn about their family. It is a rather large fam fly and is divided into three groups The first consists of the true Squirrels, to which group both Happy Jack and Chat terer belong.
