LEAVEN WORTH ECHO Knlrred »l the Post Office as becond Clans m a tor. ■--.'* -■-- '.-'.*.'•' DEED H. MAYAR. Edit icd Fioprletor. Isnued Every Friday. Subscription $1.00 per year In advance. Address all communications to The Leaven worth Echo. VffIDAY. AUGUST ft, 1904 The democratic campaign wagon will bo lubricated with Standard Oil funds this year, if all reports are true. Dwight Darling, of Everett, was elected temporary secretary of the democratic state conven tion and Attorney Fred Reeves of Wenatchee, was elected assis tant secretary. We know some democrats who will not vote for Turner on ac count of his carpet bag record in the south during reconstruction days when he was a republican appointee to office. Into what kind of political company has the man fallen who left the republican party on the silver question in the nineties V Can a republican who voted for Bryan on principle vote for Judge Parker without changing prin ciples? Captain Chares Johnson, the candidate on the republican tick et for representative from Che lan county, ha.a lived at Lakeside for a good many years, and no man is held m higher estimation at his home, by merv of all par ties, than is Captain Johnson. He is a grand army veteran with an honorable record, having served three years in the war of Ihe rebellion, and contributed a leg to the cause. He is a splend id type of American manhood, and wi)l make an excellent rep resentative. ; Every passing week makes re publican success more certain. Of the republicans who would have voted the democratic ticket two months ago, or immediately after the adjournment of the re publicanl state convention, very few are left. After they have had time to eo»l down and get over the-pique of disappointment, and fully considered what demo cratic'success really means, they liave deckled tsystick-to the party that has- brought the country out of the slough of hartl times onto the breed' higti plain of prosper toy- .. V'The office of county audition is one that calls fos'siinan willi a particular fitness:- Unlike some other county offices it is-a posi tion that requires a man of con siderable skill and training with Homo, qualifications for office ■work that every man does.- not possess. John A. Gellatly, the man whom the republican coun ty convention put before the people for this important office, is qualified by education, train ing and < experience to perform the duties of this office to the tibti'ro' satisfaction of the tax payers.- He served more than two yea« a* deputy under the present incumbent, Mr. Trow, and as-every one knows who has oome in contact with him, is courteous andSao-jommodating to the public. Under his adminis tration the business- of the office will proceed without hitch or hindrance, and the county will be saved hundreds of dollars by having just such a man' lor audi tor of Chelan ■ county. The re publican voter" who fails tb'give John A. Gellatly his loyal sup port at the coming election will have a hard time convincing his fellows in the future that he is entitled to 1 recognition- in the party's counsels. LEAVENWORTH ECHO, Hon. Jolm D. Atkinson, republican candidate for attorney general, dropped In on his Leavenworth friends one day this week, and while hero made the F.cho office a peasant call. He has many old friends here who are always glad to see him. He will probably spend a week in this vicinity lishing and attending to some business. Mr. Atkinson says he is more- familiar with political conditions on the west side than on this side of the mountains. The west side, lie i-ays, will undoubtedly give the republican ticket a large ma jority, and his Information Is that the ticket has been gaining ground on the east side ever since the democratic na tional convention was held. Tho Echo does not pretend to be posted as to con ditions generally throughout tho east ern portion of tho state, but If all the counties are as solid as Cheltin is for the republican ticket, from top to bot tom, the democrats had just as well pack their grips for a trip up Salt river. From all over eastern Washington the hottest weather known for jears is re reported last week. The temperature ranged all the way from lOOto 108 in the shade, Sprague reports a hot wind that dried the leaves on trees and sear ed the lawns. Harvesting was stopped on account of the intense heat. PESHASTIN PICKINGS Now is the lime for campers to be very careful with tires. Miss Corn Aspen went to Wenatcheo last week to see about her school. Reverend Tanner and son lished in our creek last Saturday catching more than one hundred iish. Kiliih and Edna Millner with their brother Lloyd, came up from VVetiat chee last Friday returning home Tues day. Another party of our young people went fishing up Ingals creek on Wed desday but have not heard with what success. Mrs. Allen who has been quite tlok for some time is again able to be out. Mr. McCoy, of LeayeuWorlh, la visit ing at Mr. Staged. George Harris and Roy Jorgensen pa^sed through Peshastin on their way ■to Leavenwouh Monday utter a week of fishing up Ingals creek. Mrs. Sherman who was called to Ari zona early in July to a'.teml Ihe death | bed of a daughter, returned home Sun day morning, bringing her little grand son with her. Mrs. Clarence Uoyes, formerly of Po shactin but vow of Bllaniburg, vi?itnd old friends last week, returning home Sunday. Mrs. Boyes had not been in this vicinity for several years, and was surprised at tho many changes. Columbia County Has Bunuer Crop A report from Daytou, Wash , in Uta iundiiy Review says: Columbia county It harvesting the best wheat crop ever known in the his tory of tho county, a bar)ey crop that i.~ us good as the bust. At this time very few can tell their exact yeid,on ac- count of not having tiuUlied threshing. Charles Bowman, near this place, re ports hi> average of .'3 bushels of wheat for a tie-Id of BT> acres. Practically no wheat has been sold so far, all demanding 70 cent* per buoht-1, while preheat priced are <>() cents for club alul 05 cents for blue stem. j Buyers-are offering 80 cents per him dred forgooil brewing barley, but. have ibeen able to secu'O'but two or three tcarloada: Farmers have formed a pool, | asking 90 cents. Dealers decline to pay Uhis saying that the outlook does- not I justify buying-gralu at that price. .; Dayton is becoming a coin producii g country. Corn grown upon summer fallowvjd'land yields from '2 ) to 40 bush els per acre. One farmer last year pro duced l(i;()00 bushels and this year will grow much'more. No corn is shipped out, but is ted by the growers to ho^s and the fbdticp ID cattle. The second crop of a'falfa is being cut. As liitie irrigation is done in this region only the two'croyi attd pas uv* age are secured. The yield of ihe sec ond crop is up to the ave!Mge. The poiato crop will not l)e as much ■s usual. Tho vines appear strong and healthy, but they are very few pota'oes in a hiil. The quality, hownvvr, is ot the best, and many carloads will rind v ready market outsidw.
