WAY TO PRODUCE APPLE TREES

Charles Darwin, who, in 1881, set
out with other scientists in an Eng
fish brig to study natural conditions
in South America, gives the follow
ing observations on apple culture near
Valdivia, Chile, and in Chloe, which
undoubtedly will be of interest to hor-
ticulturists and growers in this state
wherever apples are leading pro-
duct. We quote:
" The town is situated on
the low banks of the stream, and is so
completely buried in wood of apple
trees that the streets are merely
paths in an orchard. | have never
seen any country, where apple trees
appeared to thrive so well as in this
damp part of South America: on the
borders of the roads there were many
young trees evidently self-grown. Ir
Chloe the inhabitants possess a mar
velously short method of making an
apple orchard. At the lower part Of

A WHITE MANS COUNTRY.

Indications are that land will be in
great demand IN this vicinity during
the coming year, as prospective pur-
chasers are already coming here to
get first-hand information.
The principal objection we have
heard during more than two years
residence, is that we have consider
able snowfall, and many people, look
ing for a new home, have notion
that they want to get away from
snow
A snowless lard is usually populat
ed by leisure people, who, if
not already dark-skinned, soon take
on a dusky hue. A white mans coun-
try, on the other hand, is a country
of winter SHOWS and weather at least
cold enough to be invigorating-and
that is the sort of climate this sec
tion of Washington enjoys.
We have plenty of snow to furnish
water to irrigate our land, and irri-
gated land here will grow any crop
that is desired, if the land is titled by
energetic and discriminating people.
Grains of all kinds yield abundantly;
hay is a crop that is favorite with
many, as it yields three crops and is
rarely spoiled by rain in the cutting
season; potatoes and all sorts of vege-
tables and com grow like the proven
bal weed; and fruits-from peaches
and grapes to the huge, red apple, are
produced in quantities that tax the
railroads to their utmost to move to
the outside markets.
Yes sir; this is white mans coun-
try-a country for white skinned peo-
pie with good, red blood and the ener-
gy to either buck snow or appreciate
the summer sunshine--and produce
something with which to feed the
weary oilers who inhabit the snowless
areas, and contribute to the JOYS of
those who till the great plains and
people the mighty cities; and it is al
so summer resort for those who
need the invigorating assistance of
pure water, pure air and good sport,
or the inspiration of lofty mountains
and the grandest of scenery.

DAWES AND TROUBLE.

There are many public men IN
Washington who consider Dawes and
trouble synonymous terms. Not con-
tent with having pointed out how APP
preparations for government depart
ments could be reduced, after thor
ough investigation he finds that fully
60 per cent of the government cler-
ical force is inefficient, and second, he
recommends that examinations be
held for all departments in order to
rid the service of the incompetents.
Such revolutionary proposal, if it
should become infectious, might in
time, succeed in putting some bust
ness method in to government and
bring about measure of economy in

these are always ready to change in

The use of "dope," according to Dr.
Cannon w. II. Bliss-quoted else
where in this paper, increased more
than 1000 per cent from 1917 to
1919-the importation of crude opium
increasing from 10000 pounds in 1917
to 100000 pounds in 1919. No figures
were given for 1920. Taken in con-
nection with the fact that closer re-
strictions on the use of alcoholic bev-
erages began to be felt in 1917 and
have since resulted in absolute prohi-
bition, theoretically at least, the great
increase in the use of "dope" raises
question in the minds of many as to
whether mistake may not have been
made. The Echo does not in any
sense intend to support the return of
the old system of selling liquor, but
we do believe in a middle course, and
we do not believe that bone-dry ma
ton is possible. at least not without
the outcropping Of some other great

The geologist, DR.. Starke, employed
by Wenatchee business men and 9th
crs to make a survey of the district
to determine whether oil might be
discovered in commercial quantities,
reported unfavorably and the report
was given out by publication in the
World last Saturday, together with a
statement by those active in the mat
ter. Thus the matter is settled; no
one need think that oil might be dis
covered in paying quantities, and
those who have gone ahead and got
ten decision are deserving of com
mcndation.

Washington State Weekly: The to-

England seems to be making pro-
gress in the effort to settle the Irish
question, and the Sim Fein element
is contributing much by exercising
patience. Ulster Ireland is holding
off, being loath to give up any advan-
tage, though it is likely that adjust
ments will finally be made. The good
sense of all the three parties ought
to prevail and assure peace. Ireland
has been offered status such as
Canada enjoys, and if that is not as
liberal as we of the United States en-
joy, the difference in our favor does
not seem to have been discovered.

SOUTH AMERICAS STRONG MEN

A delegation composed of English,
Canadians and Americans is on its
way to South America to investigate
and attempt to determine how it is
that mineworkers in Peru can carry
burdens of one hundred and fifty
pounds up ladders from the bowels of
the earth. This singular feat has
long astonished those to whom it was
known. Charles Darwin, the English
scientist. in his account of "The Voy-
age of the Beagle" QS31-1S36), tells
of visiting the gold mines of Yaquil
and expresses establishment at the
burdens brought up by the NATIVE
miners: "When we arrived at the
mine, | was struck by the pale APP
pearance of many of the men, and
inquired Of Mr.. Nixon (the manag-
err respecting their condition. The
mine is $50 feet deep, and each man
brings up 200 pounds weight of stone
With this load they have to climb up
the alternate notches cut in the
trunks of trees, placed in a zgzag
line up the shaft. Even beardless
young men, eighteen and twenty
years old, with little muscular devel-
opment of their bodies (they are
quite naked excepting drawers) as
cend with this great load from nearly
the same depth. A strong man, who
is not accustomed to this labor, per-
spires most profusely, with merely
carrying up his own body. With this
very severe labor, they live entirely
on boiled beans and bread. They
would prefer having bread alone; but
their masters, finding that they can
not work so hard upon this, treat
them like horses, and make them eat
the beans. :"
The report of the present delega-
ton will be awaited with interest.

Not few of the special writers
covering the arms conference seem
to be endeavoring to stir up strife,
rather than to have the different
hatchets buried. England and
France are made to appear as wait
ing for an opportunity to fly at each
others threats, and Japan is held up
as insincere and endeavoring to put
something over on the United States.
The war correspondents ought to get
back onto a peace basis.
