■fhe reference In the Echo of
lust ■week to the amount of money
that had been paid out by the
county in court costs, that might
have been saved, was based on a
remark made by a gentleman in
JYenatchee in an exaggerated
sense, and was not intended to be
taken seriously.
Under a fiction which is called
poetic license, long haired, wild
eyed geniuses who are in the
habit of expressing their
thoughts in rhyme, take all man
ner of liberty with the English
language, violating all the known
rules of orthography, prosody
and syntax in a way that harrows
the sensibilities of all those who
have a regard for the established
rules, of expression.
Somewhat in a liko manner
members of the legal profession
take liberties with facts, under
certain circumstances, when in
their judgment •■action on the
case warrants them, that is posi
tively shucking to the uninitiat
ed. Under, and by virtue of this
authority, which has been un
disputedly enjoyed for so long
by members of the bar that it has
become a prescriptive light, be
cause ''tho memory of man run
neth not to the contrary, "lawyers
have been known, on rare occa
sions, to make statements before
a justice of the peace that under
a strict construction would be
considered in violation of tin
ninth commandment.
Now, if the patient reader will
pardoii the apparent digression,
which was made necessary by
way of explanation, we will gel
baok to the subject and acknow
ledge our sin, which was in ac
cepting for unqualified fact a
statement made by an honorable
member of the bar, with a know
ledge of the prescriptive right of
lawyers to handle the truth with
a recklessness born of habit.
Wherefore we deem it fair and
right to say the Echo erred last
$reek in saying that a certain
family had cost the county f2,500.
The statement was made by a
highly respected and reputable
member of theChelan county bar
under circumstances hinted at
above, and ought, in view of the
Writer's knowledge of the right
of Jawyers to make sweeping
statements, to have been accept
ed cum grano salis.
That the a'Tairs that come un
der the direction of Mr. Frank
Keeves. county attorney, have
been conservative and econom
ically conducted .-;icee he has
held the office, will appear from
a letter over the signature of
County Clerk Carl Christensen
in this issue of the Echo. The
figures are official, being taken
from * r he records. And now that
they are hrought out in this con
nection can not but make it more
flattering than it would havo
been.
The Wenatehee Republic of last
week would be a credit to a town
many times as large as the city
by the Columbia. It is doing a
great work in bringing into no
tice that growing and enterpris
ing town. When a strauge; mvs
a copy of the Republic the ques
tion always follows: "How
is Wena tehee: "
Mr. George Wood, the city manor
the Republic spent a day in our town
;hU week. He was her* to meet a twin
brother who came over from Taeoma
to pay him a visit and do a little busi
bess on the side. Whi!e here ha

For tho past mouth wo have
had the most perfect weather im
aginable The past winter, while
not a cold one. was long, lasting
from November to April, fully a
' month longer than usual, and the
fall of snow perhaps rather hea
vier than usual, keeping the
ground covered for the five
moths to a depth of from one to
three feet, making excursions to
•the mountains, woods and
streams impracticable. Indeed,
making all manner of out door
diversion except sleighing, Im
possible. Now that spring with
its warn balmy weather has set
in, the bright sunshine resting on
all the earth, the trees putting
(>:'. their summer foli.ige. the hills
and slopes and meadows clothed
lin that restful shade of green
tiiat is unlike anything else in
this world; the birds, too, chirp
and twitter in such a merry way
as if they also were rejoicing be
cause spring was here. Every
j thing abounds with health and
Strength. The small boy can
hardly contain himself. He feels
:so good he just wants to fly.
Nature wooes us with such irre
sistible siren smiles, beckoning
us to her haunts, that we cannot
resist the impulse to put behind
us the haunts of men and follow
her on the only day of leisure we
have ill the seven —Sunday. We
wander along the banks of the
■ river and gaze into the shining
water, we lie on the grass
and look for hours into the azure
vault watching one cloud Heck
i chase another, we li>;en to the
Drawling mountain torrent as it
:■ isbes down to meet and mingle
■its waters with the river: we
climb a high mountain and feel
that we are standing on top of
• world, and that life is large
and the world is good. Oh life,
joh spring! Most glorious of the
i seasons,
Who shall say that the mar.

Dearer to true worship than that

About the most telling' com
■ meat that has yet been made on
j the value of advertising was that
contained in Bradstreet's last an
imal report, which contained the
statistical information that
eighty-tive out of every hundred
business men who failed last year
did not advertise in the newspa
pers. Of course their reason was
that it did not pay.

Editor o! the Learenworth Echo:
In your editorials of la*t week yon
showed to the public the good name of
Henry Crass, nominee for county at
torney on the Republican ticket. We
; all admire Mr. CraM and his abilility
and feel a-sured that his nomination
will be sealed on the third day of No.
ranter by a large majority, but in the
meantime don't let us throw reflections
on the administration of present Coun
ty Attorney, undeserved and uncalled
for.
You say tha: Chelan County has paid
out thousands of dollars in court cosu
since its orgaaiiatipa which might have
been and ought to, have been saved.
Where you have |Rl this information
from I don't know, hut it is certainly
false and very misleading-, the court
records will show th«t forty criminal
cases have been disposed of since Jan
uary Ist, 1901, in nineteen the par
ties have plead guilty.seven were found
guilty, eight were acquitted by the jury,
and Am cases dismissed by the County
Attorney. During that time the coun
ty lias paid out for court costs >l>B.iw.

There is not, not one. And who de
serves the credit for such economy?
From the records of the court it is ■
well known fact the administration of
! Mr. ReeTOJ as prosecuting attorney has
been of great economy and saving to
i the county, in other counties whenever
I criminal cases of any importance were
tried they employed outside attorneys
to assist in the prosecution, this county
never has. that is another great saving
which most of the people don't realize.
The records show that the adminis

I department, with the exception of the
l>re-ent county clerk, for him I have
nothing to say. Yours Truly,
