RITCHIE ATTENDS
ROCKVILLE FAIR.

there busy shaking hands with
everybody who wanted to shake 1t,
and that was almost everybody at
the fair He is well known in
Washington society. where several
entertainme nts are given in his
honor each winter. He belongs to a
very old and aristocratic Southern
family and looks it. Former Sen

also his son. Brook Lee and his
beautiful little wife, and the Joe
Bradleys, who have just returned
from a trip to Atlantic City. Mrs.
Duncan Bradley was with them, as
was Harry Blunt and quite a party

all the horsemen from Washington,
Maryland. Virginia, and the other
Coast States were there for the rae
ing, in spite of the enforcement of
the law against betting.
Mrs. Harry Dawson conceived a
clever idea at the fair Thursday.
She suggested that next year they
have erected a number-say about
ten-of boxes. Every one received
the idea with glee. for it will add
much to the sociableness of the fair

AND JAMES JUDD HELD.

World, Aug. 81: F. w. Bell and
James Judd are in the county iail
charged with grand larceny in steal
ing $500 worth of guns and ammurH-
ton from Francis Jock of Leaven-
worth. Jock is a haness-maker by
trade, who lives in a cottage where
he does his work and where he had
accumulated an unusual collection of
rifles and revolvers.
A short time ago Jock was taken
i'll and brought to the Wenatchee
General Hospital. While there he be-
came acquainted with Bell and Judd,
who had been sent to the, hospital by
County Health Officer F. E. Culp for
the cure Of the morphine habit Jock
claims that he told Bell and Judd
about his collection of guns for he
was afraid some one would steal them
during his absence.
Soon afterwards Bell claimed that
he had recovered from the morphine
habit and was discharged.
The next day Sheriff McManus
heard that he was trying to dispose
of some very valuable revolvers and
rifles to the secondhand store in
Wenatchee. Both Bell and Judd were
therefore arrested and are held await
ing trial.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.

The writer, the fat one of the Echo

him into going out September Morn
on hunting trip for ruffed grouse.
So effective was the invegling that
we beat the kid out of bed and were
ready at the first peep O. day.
We hit the grit afoot near the foot
of Tumwater mountain and as we at
tempted to gather speed for the
climb it did not take long to impress
upon the old man that his machinery
was somewhat out of order for the
kid soon left us limping along and
missing fire like 1908 one-lunger,
and we sought out the broken trail
and kept to it, letting the world go
by, for all we cared. But the old
man had been bitten by some bug at
some time in I life and innoculated
with the mountain-climbing virus and
so we limped and back-fred along on
the trail going higher and higher
not much, but some, every hour, and
finally when we thought that we must
be within eight or ten miles of the top
we decided to leave the rest of the
climb for another time-having in
mind that the journey down might
require some ellOrt. NOlnp up we
had radiator trouble, spark-plug
trouble and carburetor trouble, but
going down it was brake trouble and
the way seemed about as long as it
did going up. One thing is certain

DEAD NEWSPAPER.

The public is enabled to sense the
seriousness of the newspaper situa-
tion as it sees the disappearance, one
after another, of old established jour
nails, due to the high price of labor
and materials, especially of news
print.
In the same neghborhood in Tndi-
ana last Saturday two daily news
papers gave up the ghost. One was
a Republican daily twenty years old,
and the other a Democratic daily es-
tablished in the seventies and pub
lished continuously, and both worthy
of long life. There are communi-
ties which neglect their newspapers,
as though patronage We're a matter
of personal concern. These commun-
tiles do not awaken to a sense of their
responsibilities until too late. Since
the outbreak of the war hundreds of
small newspapers have disappeared
due to increased costs and Indifferent
patronage. A community that stands
aloof while the village weekly is in its
last throes can hardly escape a feel
inp of self-contempt in the contem-
plation of the wreck.-Rocheste IN
