Mr.. Man, have you ever figured
how much actual money you have
given to the other man for the pri-
vilege of working his land? If not
it is high time for you to begin
using your brains as well as your
hands and feet.
We know of men who are today
renting land on basis of third and
fourth as we'll as ON halves and
they have worked mighty hard to
be compelled to give to the other
man half and fourth of what they
have produced. For illustration:
One man in Scurry county had in
$50 acres of cotton and has gather
ed around 90 bales of cotton.
These 90 bales have brought him
approximately 100000 in cash
and he has had to turn 100000
IN cash to the other man.
This 100000 cash would have paid for one of
our 100 acre tracts of the Davenport land located
7mileS from Snyder and he would have had a
home and be working for himself We call your
attention TO our advertisement of last week and
again urge you to buy now while you can, and
especially will sell these lands 10 you on
basis OF one fourth cash and give you to years
the balance
These tracts cut into 80 and 100 acre tracts
and some of the finest land in SCurry county can
be found on this body of land. You won't find
any softer sweeter water in Scurrv or at
shallower depth than there.
Field notes and abstracts all down to date We
insist that you give this Your earnest attention and
be among the 20 or Is men who are going and are
now buying this land. We have sold since start
ing a week ago nine tracts. -
Don't fail to come into our office and we will
20 this proposition with you. We are the
exclusive agents for this land.

THIEVES AROUND.

Thieves have been breaking into
business houses end attempting to
get into others and it appears that
another man on the night police force
might prove advantageous. With only
cne man making the rounds the night
prowlers can watch him and when he
has passed they can do their work.
With two or more watchmen patrol
ling the city the thieves would not
have such an easy job of watching
them.
Tuesday night, when the high wind
was blowing, thieves were more ac-
tive than usual. Any noise they may
have made was not easily noticeable
while on ordinary nights a slight
noise is easily detected for blocks
Therefore if it is not feasible to have
extra men on watch every night il
may be well to az least have more of
force when occasion seems to de-
mand it, such as when a high wind is
blowing.

When evening schools were first in =

of this country they were for the pur-
pose of instructing the foreigner who
had come to our shores. Later Other
people took advantage of them so
that in the larger cities where there
were but a few foreigners in attend
ance in the first evening schools now
we find an enrollemnt of from three
to five thousand in places the size of
Spokane and Seattle. In these
schools we find students enrolled of
various ages, nationalities and occu-
pations.
Many of the students are in some
line of work where they find it impos-
sible to compete with the co-workers
who have had more recent training;
others wish to change to some line of
work which appeals to them. as they
are employed in positions that offer
no opportunity for advancement, AMI
others wish to take advantage of the
evening schools to get some subject
rot offered when they attended
school.
Many students continue their even
ing school work from term to term
until they are fitted to take a posi-
ton in the business offices of the city.
Now we find evening schools conduct
ed in most every city of any size in
the country. They offer an oppoi :

that which he needs to make a more
efficient worker.

BOYS LOST IN
MOUNTAINS OVER
SUNDAY NIGHT
STAFFORD AND HATMAkER
BOYS HAVE CHILLY TIME
HOMES AND BEDS NOW LOOK
GOOD TO THEM.

Three Leavenworth boys had an eX-
perience last Sunday night which
none of them wants to repeat again.
In company with four other boys
they were on an excursion such as any
Lunch of boys NAV take. They had
gone up the Tumwater mountain
west of town, and the three-Joe and
Paul Stafford and Foster Hatmaker--
when they reached what is known a,
the meadows" remained behind
while the other four went on up to
the point known as Lookout, for the
reason that during the summer the
Forest Service keeps lookout sta
toned there.
When the four returned they no.
tlced that the three were starting off
i'll the wrong direction and called to
them, then went on. thinking that the
three boys were coming. The four
reached their homes at about seven
o'clock and when the other boys did
rot return their parents of course be-
came alarmed Searching parties
we're formed and went out forthwith.
The search was kept up all night for
the boys were not prepared for a night
in the mountains, especially the Hat
maker boy, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ton
Hatmaker, who, hoy-like. had gone
ofl very thinly clad.
Among the searchers were Tom
Cannon and Emmett Barkee who went
" to the lookout station and back,
then up through Coles canyon an |
Makes canyon, making four trips
during the night, accompanied on l
part of them by Mr.. Hylton. Other
parties went up and searched othe"
parts.
The boys were not found until Mon
cay morning when they were located
on ridge leading from Coles canyon
to the lookout peak, by Messrs. Can
non, Barkee and Hylton, and they
we're brought down by way of Hesse's
canyon. They had wandered about
until dark, it seems, and then built a
fire and tried to keep warm. Rain
fell and the wind blew and they were
unable to keep warm beside the fire
and had to keep moving. They had
had no food since Sunday morning
and the sandwiches which the search
ere were provided with disappeare
like mist before TIE sun.
The eldest Of the three boys is
about fifteen and the youngest eleven
or twelve.

THE BRENDER
SCHOOL MEETING.

If the meeting at the Brender
school last Thursday evening may be
taken as criterion, it is consider
able task to promote an irrigation
project and much patience and per-
sistence is necessary
There was a very good attendance
at the meeting and much interest was
shown by the people of the Chumstick
valley and of Plain, whom the com
m;ttec desired to meet
The meeting was called to order b =
J. B. Schons. He explained concisely
what the meeting was called for and
then called on Rufus Wood of the
Wenatchee World to further discuss
the matter Others were also calle |
upon, and Messrs. johnson and Paul
son, members of the party engaged ir
making the preliminary survey of the
project, explained as best they could
particulars as to the route of the pro-
posed ditch. Unfortunately some of
the speakers were considered to be
talking alone in the interest of the
city of Wenatchee when some of those
present thought that they should have
been telling what benefits the ranch
ers of the Chumstick might derive
from the new ditch. But it may he
said that all present were friendly t.
the proposition though slow in giving
written pledges Of financial support
when called upon to do so, and it is
evident that the general committee
must be patient and persistent.
Another unfortunate angle of the
matter was that just at the time
rarchers have very little money in
hand and were still uncertain as to
what would be realized from their
crops. hence they were reluctant to go
irto a matter the end of which was so
obscure.
It is the belief Of the Echo that
this great project should he carried
through. but it is a big undertaking
and we blame no one for taking con
siderable time to weigh matters
When these matters are weighed and
understood, however, we believe tha'
all the ranchers along the route who
can possibly be benefited will come

BIG RAILROAD
STRIKE IS PROBABLE
EARLY THIS FALL
OBJECT TO NEW RULES-SEE
TEN-HOUR DAY LOOMING
ROADS MAY GO TO GOVERN
MENT.

Indications are that there will be a
Lig railroad strike this fall unless the
conservative counsel of labor leaders
prevails. The big four brotherhoods
ana affiliated railway unions have
voted and it appears certain that q
large majority have cast their ballots
against accepting the new rules, which
mean that all overtime will be paid
fol at the regularly hourly rate, and
this, the men fear, means that they
would soon be back to a ten-hour day
and might be worked sixteen hours on
the standard day scale.
Not much can be said as to the at
titude of local railway workers, but it
is believed that they are nearly solid
against the new rules.
If the strike is called it is our un-
derstanding that it will affect nearly
| all rail workers in this community
AL enginemen, conductors, brakemen,
shop and section men, as well as OPP
orators and clerks, would be called
out. Possible exceptions are dispatch
ers, yard foremen and station or de-
pot agents.
There appears to be no dou6t
among the workmen that the strike
will soon be called and that none but
mail trains will be run, and these
will have to be operated by officials.
The belief is expressed that if the
strike comes the roads will be turned
over to the government to be operat-
ed, and in support of this belief it is
alleged that the usual preparation
for the winter are being neglected by
the management.
If the strike comes at all it vii

/ think that this is their time to win
The busy season is now on or just
