The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1920-07-30

Some good may come if a measure
advocated by Chairman Albert John
son of the immigration and natural-
cation committee of the house of rep
resentatives is adopted. This meas
ure would require the separate
naturalization Of wives and children
of aliens and also require aliens to
sign a contract not to preach or prac-
tice anarchy, sabotage or the destruc-
ton of American institutions.

In 1914 Samuel Gompers said of
the Socialists:
81 know, too, what you have up
your sleeves and | want to say that
am entirely at variance with your
philosophy. declare it to you, | am
not only at variance with your doc
trines, but with your philosophy
Economically, you are unsound; So
cially you are wrong; industrially,
you are an impossibility.
North Dakota's experience with
the socialist-nonpartisan league bears
out what Gompers said.

GOOD HARD RAIN WOULD
 FILL NORWICH RESERVOIRS

The two Norwich reservoirs are only waiting for good rain to be filled up to the top and brimming over. Presi- dent Walter w. Lang of the water board said Friday night that Stony Brook reservoir is down 50 inches from full pond and Fairview is down about eight inches. At this time of the year, and with the ground in the present frozen condition, a good hard rain would deliver large amount of water to the reservoirs and both would respond very quickly by filling up to the top.

ORGANIZES WILDCAT
KITTEN PROMOTION

Hilary r. Davis, 100 N. 11th-ave.,
owner of the only two faced kitten in
Pensacola, has started a. stock com
pany to promote the exhibition of his
freak. Mr.. Davis says this is a legiti-
mate wild-ca scheme which he ex-
poets will pay big dividends. He
plans to join the Sheesley Shows this
winter and tour the south.
Many curiosity seekers have already
made offers to Mr.. Davis for his
kitten, among them being Slim Simon
son OF the Greater Wallace Shows, w
e. Jack of I'D. c. Mutt Co., and Others,
Jack says the kitten and Davis both
ought to be with the Nuts.
Because of the youth of the, kitten,
Mr.. Davis says it will not be, on exht-
bition again for several days. The
few days since it's arrival in Pensa-
cola have been very crowded ones for
Janus Felis domestica, therefore Mr.
Davis asks that people refrain from
disturbing the kitten for a few days.

CHIPLEY HAS ROW
WITH LIGHT COMPANY

Chipiey will only have half night
electric light service effective October
1. The town council and the Chipley
Light and Power Company have been
in a controversy for the past two
months over the matter of rates the
light company claiming they were
losing money and could not operate I'M
less they were granted an increase in
rates, finally after several long drawn
out meetings of the town council and
the light company, Hon, Lee Wells,
chairman of the town council, made a
motion that the lights only be operated
until midnight and this was agreed to
by the light company, but no increase
was granted. This arrangement was
bitterly objected to by the business
people of the city as the residents hav-
ing electric lights in their places of
business and homes.
However, it appears that the town
council in acting did not consult the
people and get their views of the mat
ter at all. The light company will lose
considerable by the acceptance of this
proposition, as many business places,
as well as residences, will discontinue
the use of electric lights altogether,
among them will be all of the hotels.
Inc people at large IeeI that this Is a
knock to the town at the hands of the
council. Many prominent citizens of
the town are protesting vigorously
against this move and it is expected
that the two will come to some agree
ment in the matter of rates and the
differences adjusted satisfactorily.
Work has again been started up at
the big oil well just south of Chipley.
The drill is down to a depth of about
$500 feet now, and two car loads of
piping were received today, totaling
about 5000 feet. This means that the
drill will soon reach a depth of 5000 feet
or more if necessary to go that far for
oil
