TO BE OR NOT TO BE?

To the Editor Leavenworth Echo
Wenatchee's Daily Sensational Toe
sin, so fagrantly unreliablo { at in j
recent issue it proclaimed to the world
that pope was dead while he was
still alive, is now vociferously crow
ing from its dunghill of urreliabilit
and shouting the news, nat round
house, terminals, mad all tie utilities
of the Great Northern railroad al
Leavenworth are to be moved to
| Wenatchee. In spreadagleness the
Anticipated editor of this sheet ani
his hired retainers have shouted the
news so loud and far tha' its repro
duction has appeared in al the lead
in dailies of the state. Is the editoi
of this paper speaking from first
hand facts, or from garbled stories
which have had their recurrence in
the Wenatchee dailies during the past
seventeen years Or is h. trying t
unload section of worthless real es-
tate on gullible public? 1t is 4
safe bet that the citizens of Leaven-
worth have just as much authentic
information as to whether or not the
terminal is 10 remain here or go to
Wenatchee. The people Of Leaven-
worth, tho giving themselves little
concern over tho matter, have how
ever had the articles appearing in the
Wenatchee paper sent to the head Of
ficials of the Great Northern Railroad
at st. Paul, and expect uihentic in
formation within few davs. Apart
from this they have been busying
themselves tracing down every state
ment that has been published either
thru the Wenatchee Bladder or other
papers, or by word of mou-h; and ir
every case have found tha+ tho it is
admitted that large needed improve
ments in facilities are to be made at
Wenatchee, these facilities ere merely
to provide for the increase, business
coming in over the branches which
center there.
The highest official cf tie G. \.
road in the west when approached
said that he knew of no plans con
templating a removal of tho terminal
from Leavenworth. A larre banking
institution in Spokane investigated
the matter and could find no founda
tion for the rumor of removal
Against the rumored removal arc
other rumors, indicating thst the COM
pany even contemplate making not
able changes here. If these rumors
have any credence the Leavenwortl1
yards are to be enlarged and shops
and buildings improved, more me7
employed in the yards and chops than
formerly. Leavenworth however, is
not depending upon rumor It's citi-
zens have gone to st. Paul for
THE TRUTH. When it i receive
we have no doubt but that it will b.
published fully in the Leavenworth
Echo. The writ+r is satisfied, after
hearing the canvass of every point
that Leavenworth will be division

Wenatchee bladder has ceased II
delve into in tie dusty cellars Of tho
past for the skeleton of hidden lie to
ornament his sheet which marks the

SENEN-OUNCE OWL
KILLS LIB. HENS.

Editor of the Echo:
About the fore part of this year our
county agent published an article ad-
vising the orchardists and farmers to
preserve the hawks and owls as they
live mostly on mice and gophers.
One little owl took up living quar-
ters in loft shed at my residence.
| always like to follow advice, especi-
ally when given by those of "book
larnin y, and more often follow adj
vice to please my friends often
against my better judgment, with
generally bareback affecting my
pocket-book. 1t has kept me poor.
But I digress. ! must tell about
the diminutive wi going into the
chicken coop and killing tie hens. 1t
went in different coops and crippled
one large hen by lacerating its head
and killed three--not all at one time,
just one each night. At last moved
the flock into a real tight coop and
then put dead hen in the coop
where it had been killed. set three
small steel traps near the carcass.
Next morning ] took a lantern and
went into the coop and there was
Mr. or Mrs. Owl (sex unknown fast
in trap. | took stout piece of
board and laid it out by beating its
head, then went to the house and got
breakfast. In an hour or Sc went out
to feed the hens and there was the
owl clipper as you please 1t gave
me a look combined Of hatred and de-
fiance, as much as to say; "Just you
wait till | get out of this, I'll fix tha.
$40 rooster of your till you won't
be bit proud of it."
| took up the board again and gave
it to it the way Dude Brown did the
rigger-and then some ] weighed
the remains on mothers scales and it
tipped the beam at seven ounces.
Weight of the largest hen, six
pounds.
Now my repu alton for veracity
as been questioned. One gentleman
said; "No little owl like that could
kill hen" Perhaps others think So
Maybe the merchants who have here
tofore trusted me may strike out the
the three words. "Your Gro lii good"
If so, let EN-.
will admit the story does seem du-
bious--a 7-ounce bird killing a fowl
thirteen times it own weight. It
would sound as reasonable for a man
to say: u ran go into Van Brock
Inns pasture and kill his gentleman
COW with my bare hands"
| once told a friend of mine about
catching 12-pound trout out of the
Skikomish river. He VOID not be-
lieve it. Did not say so in words,
Just spread his hands and shook his
head and grinned. If he ha not been
such a good friend ! might have lost
my temper. He is a stiff f-necked stub
born man and refused to ro with me
when I offered TO show him the hole
from which l caught the fish. I did
mean TO tell him that the fish got
back after | had landed i. but he
acted so yeXatious that ! kept il a Sc
cret TO this day.

OkANOGAN.

Prof. Freeman refereed both the
above games.
Monday night the All Stars were
defeated by Bellingham State Normal

The Normal boys played five-men
defense and did enough holding in the
second half to die1ualify two or three
teams.
Leavenworth started out in nice
shape, piling up 10 to / lead in the
first 10 minutes play. Then the Nor
maj started roughing things Up, TAX
ing the lead of wo points and win
ming the game il the last five seconds
of play
1t was an Interesting contest but
not much of basketball game.

HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
ADVISES BUYING YOUNG TREES

Now is the time to order young or
chard trees, declares F. r. Clifford
horticultural specialist at the Uni
Versity Of Wisconsin, who is to con
duct extensive orchard operations in
the county during the coming year
He urges Badger farmers to buy
from their own Wisconsin nursery,
men, to buy comparatively, and to
buy only standard varieties By the
grouping Of their orders, farmers can
reduce freight and delivery expense,
he says.
Young trees to be planted next
spring should be two years old pref
erably, and about three-fourths Of an
inch in diameter near the ground, "
Clifford asserts. IF you can't buy :,
o-year-old, get one -year-old
whip Three-year-old trees suffer q
greater shock from transplantine,
making a greater risk. Be sure tha1
the roots of the trees are free from
disease and accept no substitutes for
standard varieties
Spring is the best time to set the
tree. 1t should be set as deep as it
was set in the nursery"
