STRIKE
BREAKER
FIRED

One g. A. Warren, who shipped in
here last Wednesday as boiler
maker to take job in the shops as
strikebreaker, was fired from the
yards last Fridey evening and later
told to get out of town by officer
Dude Brown.
Warren came here with six other
men and we understand was the only
one of the seven who reported to the
shops to go to work, but he was SEEM
ingly not in condition to work. He is
said to have gone down town and
spent the night elsewhere, though he
said he slept at the car provided for
strikebreakers at the roundhouse 1t
seems that he was suspected of being
a "hophead" and a small receptacle
he carried was taken from him. Fri
day evening, he went back to the car
for this receptacle, which was given
him, and then he was forcibly elected
from the yards and warned to keep
away. He called the Echo man and
wanted to air his story. Later, he
says, he was resting quietly in the
park when Dude Brown told him to
get out of there and get under cover.
and then later Brown again got after
him when he was standing in front Of
the Boulevard cafe. He said that the
whole trouble was over his being five
minutes late to go to work on Thurs
day evening. He claimed to belong
to Boilermakers Union 104 at Seattle
and said he had worked for Skinner
& Eddy, but had later gone to Spo-
kane and was a broker is the auto
business.
Jack Todd, a guard at the yards
who had put Warren off the prem
ises, said that he had used obscene
language in the presence of women
and had refused to work, and for
these reasons was elected Todd
says that Warren had been a hack
driver at Spokane and was either
drunk or doped up and that he spent
considerable time with prostitutes
while in town.
Officer Dude Brown says that he
was accosting women and that he
deserved being jailed instead of be-
ing let off.

HUMMER'S
CAR ROLLS
OVER

Ernest Hummer's car rolled over
Friday evening at the Tom Henry
place, down the valley, smashing the
top and injuring two of the occupants
C. NJ. Henderson and Young Calna-
han. Hummer and the other member
Of the party of four were unhurt.
Mr.. Henderson's back was injured so
that he was not able to be out for
several days.
Hummer and companions had been
to Wenatchee where Hummer had a
new top cover put on which was bad
ly wrecked The accident happened
just in front of the Tom Henry res
idencs. Hummer had had tire
trouble and had phoned Theo. Paine
to come down with a tube and the re-
pairs had just been made and Paine
had started out ahead Of Hummer. A
car going down the valley was met
by Hummer and he had turned out
into the lose sand and gone over
Fortunately Mr.. Paine had looked
back and was signalled to stop, which
he did and brought the Hummer par
ty to town, going out the next day
and bringing in the car.

CONDITIONS NORMAL
WE DON'T THINK

Every day or so we notice by some
daily papers that railroad officials say
conditions are normal and that
freight and passenger trains are run
ming regularly and that all freight is
moving, as if the strike were a matter
of the past.
The fact is that nine-tenths of the
trains on the main line of the Great
Northern have been late for weeks
some trains have been annulled, and
many loaded cars are standing in ter
minal yards and have been there for
days, week or more in some in
stances. Monday No. 80, commonly
known as the "dinky," came in an
hour late with two engines to haul
two coaches, and one engine a NAL
lett.
We hope to see the present strike
settled and justice done both the men
and the railroad, but we can see no
use in either side mistating the facts.
And the fact is that the power situ-
alton is bad.

away from the portal. so there will
be no danger from fire through upcast

lection will be the very limit, both
inside the tunnel and outside.
Now the other half of the Royal
obstacles will be eliminated when the
transportation question is met, as the
Royal will meet it. Between st.
AIMS and the Portal is II miles.
Study of the obstacles covering the
period 1916-1922 show that the east
side of the Chiwawa is dangerous in
winter from snow slides-that the
west side is practically immune. The
greater part of the Chiwawa River
valley is on the west side of the
river. 1t is heavily timbered. Be

FIRE IN
SNOW LAKE
REGION

The local forestry office was mott
fed early this week by S. 2. Beecher
and Chas. Wright, who had been up
to Snow Lake, that they had put out
fire there. Wednesday morning the
office was informed that fire was
burning out there and J. NJ. McKin-
ley and c. A. Hastings were sent up
to investigate. One of them returned
that evening and said that the fire
then covered about ten acres, and SIX
more men were sent in that evening
after dark carrying flashlights so as
to find the trail.
This will be an especially hard fire
to fight, as the region cannot now be
reached by pack animals and every
thing must be carried in by the men a
distance of several miles.
A light rain fell here Wednesday
evening at about o'clock, but at
that time there was none at Noun
tain Home, the end of the road to
Snow Lakes, and not enough out at
French Creek to effect forest fires.
Thursday was still cloudy and misty
here and rain may have fallen in the
mountains-a consumation devoutly
wished for.

THE TOURIST COME.

Over the highways leading into
Oregon, Washington and British Col
umbia, there has been pouring for the
past two months a veritable stream
Of motorists. lured hither by the
pictured charms of the Pacific North
west and by the stories they have
seen and heard of the beauties and
pleasures Of "America's Summer
Playground" Cars bearing the pen
ants and license plates of almost
every state can be seen by watching
any of the principal highways for
few hours-big cars and little cars,
some dust covered and loaded down
with camp equipment, others shining
and unburdened except for light lug
gage.
Every west-bound transcontinental
train and the steamer lines running
to the Coast ports likewise have been
bearing their crowds of tourist visit
ors, many of whom have come to the
Pacific Northwest to escape the in
tolerable heat of the inland and
southern districts, or who have been
eager to spend their vacations among
the mountains or along the many
water-courses of this wonderland.
Reports from various sections of
the Pacific Northwest indicate that
this tourist travel, both by auto and
by rail is much heavier than in any
previous year and inquiry among the
travellers as TO why they choose this
for their vacation trip shows that
large numbers Of them were attracted
by the advertising and publicity cam
paign of the Pacific Northwest Tour
ist Association.
"A noticeable feature Of this years
auto travel" states Frank W. Gull
bert, Of Spokane, one of the most
active good roads enthusiasts Of this
district and a recognized authority
on auto travel, sis the high class of
the people who are motoring to the
Pacific Northwest this season. They
seem 10 have more money and a lar
ger percentage Of them are stopping
at hotels"
Inquiries about touring conditions
continue TO pour into the office Of the
Pacific Northwest Tourist Associa-
tion from all sections of the country,
and even from foreign lands One
correspondent from Forfar, Scotland,
has just written: 81 have just read

on all the year round, is the first eli

transportation, need not bother the
Royal for some time to come. Food
and mine supplies are the only things
that will need transportation for the
time being, during the first stages,
and these can be laid in for the win
ter period. 1t will be no trouble for
the Royal to demonstrate to the Great
Northern Railway engineers and traf-
fic men, that a railroad to the Trinity
Tunnel will pay With rail transpor-
tation to the Trinity Tunnel, prospect
ing and development in nearby sec
tons by others, will receive a healty
impetus, particularly the Chfwawa
Basin, the Buck Creek Pass Range,
the Miners Ridge, and the section
from the Little Giant Mine on Castle
Creek, westward to Cady Pass.
What has greatly deferred the pros
pecting of these several sections in
the past has been, all roads and

several sections mentioned should
not have attention. Always, lack of

they can again tackle when the sec

CHIEF CLERK
WANTED FOR
SHORTAGE

c. r. Carsons, chief clerk for the
Great Northern Lumber Co. here, left
week ago last Sunday without max
ing proper accounting with the
company or with several people here
and at Wenatchee. and on complaint
of Roy Holmes, a warrant was issued
early this week by Judge J. c. Davis
and placed in the hands of Officer n.
L. Brown, for his detention in case
he is located
1t appears that Carsons has his
tory. The company here was advised
by the bonding company with whom
it does business that they could not
bond Carsons. This letter evidently
fell into his hands as chief clerk. and
he planned to get away. Further. it
appears that Carsons had made an
offer of marriage to a young woman
of Seattle whom he met at Wenatchee
and that they had planned to be
married on the Monday following his
departure. II is believed that the re-
ceipt of the letter from the bonding
company caused Carsons to believe
that his past would be made known
here and he therefore took such com
pany money as he could lay hands on
readily, amounting, we believe, to
some three hundred dollars, and fed.
He also had drawn several checks
for which he had no funds in bank.
Since his departure il is learned that
he has had three other separate
"heart affairs" and that three other
young women have been deserted by
him just before the date set for mar
riage.
Carsons was a likeable young man,
thirty years of age. He had been in
the company's employ here since last
winter and besides overseeing the
clerical work in the main office in
Leavenworth, had audited the books
of the company at the Wenatchee
Yard office and during the three weeks
just prior to his disappearance, had
been in Wenatchee most of the time.

FIRE ON
FRENCH CREEK
CONTROLLED

Ranger John 5. Brender was in
town Tuesday, coming down from
French Creek where he had been in
charge of fighting the big fire, and it
is understood that with good luck
this fire will be controlled How
ever, controlling a fire in the forested
mountains is one of the many uncer-
tainties we encounter in life and MIR.
Brender's experience causes him to
be rather cautious. The fire was
practically out at the lower end and
the sides well cared for and then men
were working on the upper end.
About ffty-five men are out on this
job.
Mr.. Brender returned to French
Creek Wednesday and a new gasoline
pump was taken out with which to
fight the fire. II is of such a size
that it may be packed on a pack ami
NAL, and Of capacity to throw water
some two hundred feet.
This fire started July % and the
cost Of fighting it has already run
well up in the thousands, but when
we consider what the damage might
have been if it were not fought, the
cost so far incurred will appear in
significant. The end is not in sight
yet, however. August is usually a
dry month in this country and no rain
is expected, therefore it is likely that
the fire will necessitate keeping a
large number Of men on the job until
out into September, depending upon
the success with which the new pump
may be used. If water is available
to reach the outer edge of the fire at
all points, the fire may be stopped and
perhaps completely quenched.

BRIDGE IN.

The bridge over the Icicle at the
Fisher place is said to be completed
and work already under way prepara-
tory to boring the tunnel for the

1t is reported that there was some
hitch in the contract and that the
price for the work has been raised 10
$500 per foot, instead of $3.50 as
heretofore reported.

CRU SHED UNDER TRUCK.

The little son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Bergren, Of Peshastin. eight years
old, was run over by Mr.. Bergren's
truck Wednesday morning and his
hip fractured Several bones were
broken. He was brought to the Com
munity hospital and cared for and il
is thought that he will come through
in good condition.
1t appears that the little boy was
playing about and was caught under
the heavy truck as it was backed out
of the garage by a man in Mr.. Berg
ren's employ.
