Watching Astronomer Wait

Baltimore. June 20.-Mars Sunday

A. the Maryland Academy Of

group Of astronomers with Prof.

Nowhere else in this country. ex-
cept al Flagstaff, Ariz.. were astrono-

But there is reason, according 10
Professor Hall. While Mars approach
ed within AZ 800 900 miles of Baltimore
last night, IL will come 5000. 900 miles
nearer IN 1924. At that time il is
expected that elaborate preparations
for minute observation Of the planet
Will be made. for 5000 900 miles makes
difference even 10 astronomers.
Local astronomers Sunday night were
busily engaged on an abstruse prob
lem In astronomical mathematics in
which Mars did not enter. But they
admitted that Mars was the mos. in

SRAY LEAVENWORTH TREES.

Ranchers and horticultural officials
have expressed appreciation of the
short article some time back in the
Echo relative to the need of spraying
every fruit tree within the city Of
Leavenworth, and now that the time
is ripe for action we again want to
urge all tree owners to have them
sprayed. John Bergren of Peshastin
announces in this issue Of the Echo
that he will be ready about April 10
to do spraying here and we should all
get together on this matter and Ell
ther have him or someone else do the
work. if we are not prepared to dc il
ourselves. The Echo suggests that
those who have not made other ar
rangements, either call or come 20
the Echo office so that a list may be
made Of the number of trees, location.
etc Mr. Bergren will not come =
town unless a sufficient number Of
: ees are listed to cover his eHnense.
The Echo is interested only in 2et-
ting all trees here sprayed and kept
free from blisternite and other fruit

spray is absolutely necessary if our
fruit industry is to thrive. The calvX
and cover sprays will also be neces-
sary but the dormant spray is most
urgent. 1t must be put on before the
buds open.
Therefore, everyone having trees

CITIES ARE WHAT
MEN MAKE THEM.

Cities are what men make them,
Wherever the cities may be;
Whether out on the desolate desert,
Or set by the surging sea.
Tho they cleave to the breasts of the
mountains
Or nestle by rivers broad,
Cities are what men make them
On the land that is given of God.
Cities are what men make them
What men demand they shall be,
Slothful, sloven and sleeping,
Progressive, beautiful. free.
IF the hearts of the builders are
noble
In one with the day and the need,
They build into grandeur and great
ness
For so il was ever decreed.
So take up your task as you find it,
Nor grumble at what you have not,
Be one of the men to make greater
The place where you have cast your
lot
IF the ocean shall threaten to whelm
you
Build a dyke that will laugh at its
might.
Cities are what men make them
Who are willing to labor and fight.

STOCkMEN INTERESTED.

Conformable to the item in last
weeks Echo. few stockmen met at
the local Forestry office last Friday
for the purpose Of discussing the or
ganization of a stockmen's associa-
ton and the leasing Of public lands
for pasturage. Another meeting is to
be held this friday afternoon at
1870 at the Forestry Office.
Those present last Friday were
NJ. 0. Van Brocklin, Frank Heath,
Mat Sunitsch, Peter Freuchtnicht and
Martin Christensen. A much larger
attendance is expected today and an
organization will probably be perfect
ed. Mr.. Sylvester will be up from
Wenatchee to consult and advise with
the stockmen
A considerable of the range in this
section of the county is ideal for cat
tie and everyone in the community
ought to be interested in seeing the
stockmen take advantage of the op-
portunity to utilize this pasturage.
No doubt a hundred thousand cattle
could easily be pastured here each
summer and it is probable that if the
business is gone into extensively the
production Of hay will increase with
the demand for its use during tie
winters.
The present movement contemplate
es utilizing the range on and between
the Upper Chumstick, Dry Greek and
Van Creek.

SCHULTZ ON THE GREAT DITCH

F. W. Schultz. chairman Of the
Greater Wenatchee Irrigation project.
which will probably cost S5.000.O0O
recently gave out the following state
ment:
"The estimates of the state en-
gineers will soon be completed and
contractors can then bid on the work.
as contours, maps, elevations. etc.
will be ready at the same time.
"To supply the cement necessary
for the project a cement plant would
have to turn out 25O barrels a day
for a year. However, it is not antici-
pated that cement will be used
throughout the project to begin with
as some of the land may be ten years
getting under water.
"A 35-foot dam Will irrigate the
present project; to include 10000
acres in the Quincy valley as pro-
posed the dam will have to be rs
feet high.
"The estimates of the state engi-
neers will include both projects. This
work has entailed an expense of S15.-
10000 and when we reflect that the
total ditch length is approximately
100 miles, it is not out of reason.
$4,000 Of this amount has been con-
tributed by land owners under the
ditch, $4,000 having been paid in TO
date and about 81 900 being in pied
ges. etc, not realized on as vet. Wen
atchee has paid nothing to date and
is now asked to make up a budget of
81 900, which will take care of the
remaining work by the state engi-
ners. The raising of this $4,000
should he expedited as it is believed
that dirt can be moved before the
year is gone. Money is cheaper now
than it has been since the war and
irrigation bonds seem to be in favor.
The estimate, ! am sure, will be one
that we will favorably consider"
