It is said that putting in I 1-inch pipe at the head of the system has caused the pressure to fall', and that the engineer had told the council that such would be the result, There seems te be no foundation for the alleged opinion of the engineer and il the large pipe at the head of the system causes a lower pressure down town, a new principle in natural laws has been discovered, according to all the authorities we were able to consult. There i.s also no foundation for the rumor that the mayor had ordered I pipe for the remaining stretch from the "hump" down town. Rut there are two possible reasons for the low pressure: One is thai water is beinjf used as fast as il can come down through the pipe-line and thi' other is that there may be "blocks." either air blocks or blocks caused by some material in the line The commissioner is over the line and endeavoring to determine whether there are any "blocks" and the restriction on the use of water which begins Sunday will determine whether the low pressure is due to too great a use of water. In the meantime, ladies and men. let's not accuse anyone of either high crimes or misdemeanors.

But the cause must be found and remedied at once. M. E. CHURCH. Sunday School at 9:46 a.

The complete renovation of the Leavenwortn Community hospital has taken place this spring under the management of Dr. Lessing anil new equipment has been installed, providing every possible means of caring for the sick and injured that can be accomplished with the present building, and it is evident that a limited number of people can be cared for in ai cleanly and scientific manner here anywhere. Hut it is equally evidint that a large modern building is necessary. awaiting the planning, financing and construction of a new build- Ing, Dr. Leasing has gone ahead without much regard to cost and prepared himself for the immediate demands as well as may lie.

He has had installed a complete electrical equipmi nt which enables him to examine patients, reduce fractures, locate obstructions, study anatomies with a view to discovering deformities, etc. photographing and developing, ami various other technical all of which can be accomplished speedily by the proper electrical appliances. Then he has an electric hot and cold water a sterilizer for cloths, bandages and packs and many other little (onveniences to in sure cleanliness and guard against contagion or infection. A room has been fitted especially foi accouchment with special conveniences, and not her for those I requiring open-air surroundings, and all available spa has been utilized in an attempt to give the eommunit) the best possible -iivice.

Suggestion has been made to the Kcho that the community ought to prepare to respond readily to call from the Forestry Department for assistance when a fire breaks out. The community is of course vitally Interested in stopping Urea as quickly as possible, thus conserving our timber supply and doing away with the danfri to ranches and villages. The direction if the fire tufhtinK fa necessarily taken up by the Forestry Department and the Fire Warden anil it seems that about all any community can do is to have all able bodied men registered with the Forestry Department and prepared to respond promptly at call to go and work. Therefore this Is nuggeated. Every man who ran be of service and who can possibly iret away from his usual occupation, anil especially those who ciesire employment, might register with Ranger Brender and thus furnish him with a list of whom he cai.

call into service at a monienfnotice. The Kcho is ready to give publicity to and urge upon the people any furthei means of assisting. ABO OF THANKS. We wish in this way to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the many kind friends who extended asi sUtance and sympathy at our recent bereavement of a kind husband, father anil brother.

Beidler stated that lie took one ill-ink from the full bottle to determine what it contained. Roth Hoag and Johnson testified that they had no knowledge of the fact that the bottles were in the office, and intimated that some one ha! brought them there during their absence.

MRS. BEULAH MAY BERGREN. This community was shocked Sunday by the announcement of the death of a young wife and mother, Mrs. C.us Bergren, following childbirth and evidently from bloodpoisoning. Mrs.

Heulah May Bergren was born in Paloalto County. lowa. Nov. 17. and died at her home on the Chumstick, July 17.

at the age of 27 years and eight months. Mr-. Bergren was the eldest daughter of Mr. Clarence Wilcox and was married to Mr. Bergren Sept.

17. 1917, Ti this union were born two children, Margaret May. three years old, and a baby boy live days old. Mr. and Mrs.

Bergren resided in Leavenworth until a little over a year atfo, when they moved to on the Chumstick creek, where quietly passed away last Sunday morning, lie-ides her husband and two children she leaves to mourn her untimely death, her father, one sister and three brothers, her mother and one sister having preceded her. It felt that too much cannot be said of her as a kind and loving wife and mother. She was never heard to complain, always being of a gentle, patient and loving disposition. It can well be said of ner. "She hath done what -he could." The last rites were held afternoon under the direction of the Leavenworth Undertaking Company Rev.

'The Leavenworth Leavenworth. Wash, Dear Sirs: I notice in the Echo for July 16 that no mention is made of the ball ffame played the Leaven worth grounds Sunday. This must have been purposely omitted and I want say tliat the omission was certainly noted by your subscribers in this vicinity. Makes a fellow think that the Leavenworth -pints must be a rather bum bunch. They can play up a victory as we have noticed on those one or two occasions this summer when they have had the chance.

After a big write-up nn the coming game as per the Echo of July Bth, and then absolute silence as to the result of the game must be pretty bum losers, sure enough. L. E. WILSON. It seems that the mill team merely neglected to report the game.

They were defeated by Dryden, 12 to I. we believe. But the manager had no idea of being a "welcher." lie thinks that the next game with Dryden, which i- to be played soon, will result differently. Each team now haii a victory to credit. The same pitcher who was in the box when Dryden was defeated started the game in question and was pounded pretty hard and had to be taken out ai the end of the first inninjr, as we understand it (not having been present) and after that the visitors were held down.

Bui it was only a hall irame and no one seems to have been injured -not even the writer whose neglect to (ret a report of the game has occasioned a few names. We long ago learned that "honesty the best though the phrase never sounded right We are not bad losers, brother; but some times good news travelfaster than bad. BOHLKE TRUSTEES TO START ACTION.
