1 1 WN. OLYMPIA, Olympia Wash Library State THE LEAVENWORTH TH ECHO IN THE WENATCHEE -HOME OF THE BIG RED APPLE-WHERE DOLLARS GROW ON TREES VOLUME 20-NO. 28. LEAVENWORTH, CHELAN COUNTY, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 1921. $3.00 PER YEAR GAME ENDS IN TIE WHEN SHADES OF EVENING FALL CASHMERE PLAYS WENATCHEE TO A STANDSTILL ON THE COUNTY SEAT GROUNDS BEFORE LARGE CROWD.

Mountain, hill and vale gave up its quota Wednesday of those who went to Wenatchee to see the boodle coppers of the county seat and the clodhoppers of Cashmere in the Olympian contest for the championship of Chelan in the game made infamous by the double-dyed gamblers of Chicago and New York in the national marathon of a couple years ago. The white, black, red, yellow and brown were on the grounds "a rarin" to see someone slaughtered. The summer girls, grandmothers, great aunts. maiden ladies, bachelor girls, friend wife; the bald-heads, old-heads, Chollyboys, shepherds and the Wild Man from Borneo--all were there. The preliminaries were duly enacted or approved or vetoed as the different party conventions had ordained and at 5:15 what was left of the noted Hal Starks after his latest plunge ambled out and arose to a point of order and the disorder broke loose at once.

Cashmere came to bat and were sc noohled up; but when Wenatchee came to the scratch they also were soon holed up; but when Wenatchee til the 5th order of business was reached. Then after Cashmere had been voted down the county seat bunch finding themselves slightly in the majority changed the house rules and voted themselves the best men by one. The Cashmere crowd came back and denied it, but it was not until the ninth that they were able to carry their point and convince the country as well as their opponents that this is a free country and what one set of men can do any other can do. The tenth and eleventh rounds prove 1 futile for both sides and the shades of night descending, by unanimous consent and special stipulation, the session closed with the usual prayer at such gatherings: "We'll get you fellows yet," uttered in unison and low breath by all participants, the auditors dissenting or kicking or grumbling about the umpire's decisions. The game was one of the best ever witnessed.

It was not a pitcher'; battle but one of considerable stickwork and splendid support, both teams having left their error bags at home and but a few (about three) jumping out of individual players pockets on so many occasions. The pitchers both were in good form, however, and gave excellent exhibitions, McLean for Cashmere striking out long list. Harris for Wenatchee did not strike out as many as his opponent, but he seemed to hold them to fewer hits. These two teams will no doubt fol. low the slogan of U.

S. Grant and fight the battle out if it takes a'l summer and a "war weary" (we don't think) little old world will watch and applaud. BROWN-DICKINSON. Miss Marie Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

George W. Brown of Lake Wenatchee and Mr. Lawrence Dickinson of Lake Wenatchee, were married Wedensday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Presbyterian Manse by Rev. Frank E. Beatty.

'The ring ceremony was used. Mrs. George W. Brown, mother of the bride, was matron of honor, and Mr. Lester Brown, brother of the bride, was best man.

The bride's gown was of white satin with crystal trimming and the long tulle veil was fastened with a wreath of sweet peas. She carried a shower bouquet of Ophelia roses. The young people will make their heme on the bridegroom's ranch at Crescent Beach on Lake Wenatchee. Mrs. Dickinson has been a teacher in Chelan and Grant counties for five years, having taught at Quincy this last year.

THE THINNING DEMONSTRATION An interesting thinning demonstratien was held last Friday afternoon ac the Chumstick orchard. Mr. Mickles, county agent, was' in charge and he was accompanied by Mr. Peters of Monitor. Mr.

Peters has had fourteen years' experience in growing apples in this valley and has made thorough success. He started in with nc knowledge of the industry and planted all the different varieties ha had ever heard of. Then after a few years of hard work and lying awake nights he began marketing apple-, some of which brought enough to pay the freight. Through the suggestion of a dealer he was aroused to the necessity of producing a large, red aniple and set about trying to plish that result. Partly through accident and partly through experimentation he finally discovered that thinning right down to a few boxes on each tree would result in the large, red apples he desired and that the trees would bear every year, and from that time on he has been very successful.

In the thinning demonstration he astonished many by the seeming ruthless manner in which he cut away the small apples until each tree carried but a small fraction of what it had contained. The demonstration, it is believed, will be of great value to the industry in this community. A large crowd was present. MARRIED. The marriage of W.

J. H. McIntosh, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

McIntosh, of Leavenworth, to Miss Inez Bartlett, took place last Friday evening at 9 o'clock at the home of the bride's mother in Ballard, followed by a wedding supper and reception in the basement of the M. E. church across the street from the home. The wedding was a sumptuous affair, the rooms being perfect bowers of flowers, and the occasion being witnessed by a host of relatives, friends and acquaintances. The newlyweds are to spend their honeymoon in California, leaving Wednesday on the steamship Admiral Farragut from Seattle to SanFrancisco.

Leavenworth friends offer congratulations and felicitations. LETTER FROM MR. MeDANIEL. Mr. Editor: Would you please say for me through your paper that I do not know how I will give a concert Saturday next as we do not wish to impose on Mr.

A. Elliott, district engineer of the bureau of public roads, accompanied by A. H. Sylvester, supervisor of the Wenatchee National Forest. and County Commissioner Cadman, went over the Blewett Pass proposition Tuesday and Mr.

Elliott decide it was necessary to make provision for keeping the Pass open the entire summer. He therefore made supplementary contracts with the contractors to build detours where necessary in order to allow traffic to go througn at all times. Mr. McDermott, in charge of the grading job for the contractors, was in Leavenworth Wednesday morning and informed the Echo personally that the Pass would positively be open the entire summer, stating that the engineer, Mr. Elliott, had instructed him to construct detours and that the government would pay the additional costs incurred.

The matter is therefore permanently settled. NEVER TOUCHED US.

m. The preliminaries will also no doubt be received. Everyone interested is invited to be present at the pool room and get the "dope" as it comes in. WILL THERE BE A STRIKE? The government railway labor beard has extended its wage reduction order to cover 210 roads, effective July 1. This order puts into effeet a cut averaging but it is understood that the roads, or many of them, have announced a cut in wages which averages about double that amount.

It is also understood that many of the railroad workers have decided that it is proper to accept the cut announced by the railway labor board, but that the cut made by the roads will not be accepted. The unions have been voting upon this matter and it is probable that they will strike, rather than accept the big cut. The Leavenworth men, we understand, are strongly in favor of a strike if the road attempts to put into effect a cut larger than that made by the labor board. The men are not saying much. The vote has been taken, however, and from the meagre information gained it is expected that there will be a tieup.

The cut made by the government board goes into effect today and it is understood that the larger cut is to become effective at the same time. If this be true the strike may come at once. Later, we are informed that the cut is expected to effect only shop, office and section men, and not trainmen. It is also reported as coming from St. Paul that the cut will not be made effective this year.

L. J. De Rosia is recovering rapidly from his broken arm, but it will require considerable time before he can get back to work. PIPED ORCHARD FOR SPRAYING PURPOSES IS NEW WRINKLE WILLIAM MOSS INSTALLS SYS. TEM THAT HE SAYS IS MORE ECONOMICAL THAN PORT.

ABLE SPRAY RIG. World: An orchard piped for spraying, thus eliminating the portable spraying rig pulled by horses 01 a tractor, is the realization of an ides of William Moss of Sunnyslope. It came to him five or six years ago that running spray material through pipes under pressure, just as water is r'un through underground mains in a city, would be economical. For that reason, he did not purchase a spray rig, but has employed others to do his spraying. This spring he brought his idea to fruition.

and installed the pipe line and pumping station. It works satisfactorily. Mr. Moss has built a 1000 gallon concrete mixing tank just below his irrigation pump. The walls of this tank are six inches thick.

Besides it is operated by the same electric motor which operates the irrigation pump. It is the work of a minute to shift the belt from one pump to the other. From this concrete tank, pipes go out to all parts of the orchard. In the mixing tank is a shaft with three propeller-like blades, to agitate the mixture. This is rotated by the spray pump as in the ordinary sprayer rig.

A pipe leads from the irrigation pump, and by the turn of valve, water is diverted to the mixing tank. There are two main one inch galvanized iron pipes that serve most of the orchard. These pipes are buried ten inches. At 150 foot intervals are standpipes. Below the high line canal serving a small section of the orchard, are three-quarter inch pipes.

"The chief advantage of this system, says Mr. Moss, is that it is economical. It saves the maintenance of horses or a tractor to pull the sprayer wagon. It i is not necessary to have a wagon. It saves the time used to haul spray rigs back forth from the filling station.

It saves time in mixing, inasmuch as the concrete tank holds 1000 gallons, or five times as much as an ordinary portable tank. It saves the wear and tear on machinery incidental to moving it about over rough ground. It saves the damage to irrigating ditches. It saves damage to alfalfa. It saves the damage to branches cause! by the scraping of the wagon against them.

It saves the labor of one man, who ordinarily drives the spray wagon "Further, it gives the advantage of steady work. There are fewer break downs than when a portable rig used. The machinery is firmly mounted on concrete bases, and is more easily kept efficient. The pressure is more steady, because an electrie motor is used instead of an ignition engine." The whole installation cost Moss about $750, or less than a portable spray rig costs. He used 2300 feet of one-inch galvanized iron pipe, and 450 feet.

of three-quarter inch pipe. He uses rubber hose 100 feet long to reach the trees. The spray pump is the same as that used on the portable rig. Each standpipe serves a block of 40 trees. One man may use the spray.

With a portable rig two must ordinarily bo used. Several neighbors of Mr. Moss plan to install similar plants next spring. NO WAR TAX ON LEAVENWORTH CHAUTAUQUA Due to the fact that Ellison-White Chautauquas are now educational institutions in every respect, operated solely for the profit of communities, The Leavenworth Chautauqua will not be subject to the regular 10 per cent tax heretofore imposed by the government, according to a recent ruling of the Treasury Department. The dates for the Leavenworth Chautauqua are July 24 to 29 inchsive.

The local committee should begin activities at once to prepare for this important event. The Echo wants to be of service in this matter and is willing to put forth its best efforts to make the 1921 Chautauqua a big success, but the committee must bestir itself early and get thoroughly organized well in advance of the opening date.
