No. 35 ROOSEVELT IN SEATTLE TWO SPEECHES TUESDAY Dreamland in the Morning—Progressive State Convention in Afternoon When Col. Theodore Roosevelt leaves his car at the union depot in Seattle at nine-thirty on the morning of Tuesday, September 10, he will be accompanied through the main streets of the city and as far as Dreamland Rink by one of the noisiest crowds that ever made an appearance in this city. There will, of course, be the usual string of automobiles, containing the men and women of the reception com mittee, but it will be that part of the procession which will go a foot, im mediately following the automobiles, that is expected to make the disturb ance. In the first place, all of the county delegations to the State con vention have already been instructed to report at the west entrance of the union depot at nine-thirty o'clock, where under the supervision of Col. George P. Lamping and his aides the parade will be formed. Following the various county delegations, under the standards of the various counties, will come a mass of King county progress ives. A band of fifty pieces will head the parade and interspersed throughout the line there will be numerous other bands. The program for the day is as fol lows: 9a. m. Arrival of train bearing Col. Roosevelt. 9:30 a. m. Parade forms near west entrance of union depot. 10 a. m. Parade begins its march up Second avenue and Union street to Dreamland rink at 7th and Union streets. lla. m. Colonel Roosevelt speaks at Dreamland Rink. 11 a. m. State convention called to order in armory. 2 p. m. Colonel Roosevelt ad dresses state convention. 3:45 p. m.

BUSTER BROWN TO ADVERTISE WENATCHEE VALLEY APPLES Sixty Million Apples This fall Will Each Bear a Buster Brown Label When R. F. Outcault, the originator ol the Buster Brown pictures, who with F. N. Crewdson is the owner of the largest apple orchard in the world, located at Bridgeport, Wash., con ceived the idea of placing Buster Brown labels on the apples shipped irorn this valley, he did more than has been done in many years towards the advertising of this already world famous valley. On the labels will be seen a picture of Buster Brown and his dog Tige, and a big Red Apple, with Buster saying, "say Tige if they ever taste these apples once." According to Mr. Crewdson, Mr. Outcalt put more real hard thought into this phrase than he put on any piece of work he has ever done. But Mr. Outcalt's efforts are not to be without results. With Buster Brown apples going into every country on the globe, as they will be, this valley will soon be attracting more people than any other section of the state and will have the reputation of being the greatest apple growing district on the globe. Only the choicest apples, both in appearance and variety, will cany the label, but it is estimated that there will be upward of sixty million of these. i A. H. Blake and wife left Thursday afternoon for Spokane where they will spend the next week or ten days visit ing with friends. I Zhe Xeavenwortb £sfe^ A Word To Progressive Voters The Echo has among its readers a considerable number of women, some of whom are progressive and will want some advance information about the form of the ballot that will be handed to them tomorrow by the election office* who will preside at the progres sive primary election. For their bene fit, and for the benefit of those men who have not had the opportunity to look over the list of names submitted, we are this week printing the full ticket, just as it appears on the ballot. In a general way the ballot is self-ex planatory and the voter should have no trouble in marking his or her ballot so that the judges will have no trouble in determining the intention of the voter. The voter has the right also to write in the blank spaces un der each official heading the name of some one whom he or she prefers to those appearing on the ticket. It is of course desirable that a full and fair expression of the will of the vaters be registered. We earnestly urge all progressives to go to the city hall and vote. To declare your inten tion to vote for the Roosevelt electors will entitle you to receive a ballot. This is the acid test to which all who have enrolled under the Bull Moose banner must submit. CHANGE MADE IN EXPRESS WAYBILLS Agent Lee Says All Express Packages Must Be Brought to Depot at Least An Hour Before Train Time It is not every locality that can boast of a big, good natured, smiling express agent, as these gentlemen as a rule become universal cranks, which is brought about we'are told through their dealings with the American public. But take it as a whole Fred Lee is just about as congenial and accomodating agent as you will find in your travels. But even he sometimes becomes peeved and gets a little crouch on when things don't go just right. For instance if you want to ruffle his good nature just take an express package around about five minutes before train time that you want to get off on the next train. That will sure get the big fellow's goat, and he is liable to fly clear off the handle as he did with the writer one day this week. You see it is this way. A new ruling by the Interstate Commerce Commission which went into effect Sept. Ist makes about three times as much work as it did in the past. Hereafter, waybills, when issued, will have two stubs upon which will be written all that will be shown in the carbons on the original waybill. The original will be retained at the {express office as a record of goods forwarded. Another will be pasted on the ship ment and the third will be sent to the destination office. Of these waybills there will be three different kinds which will be classified according to the color in which they are printed. One of these will be used in sending prepaid valuable freight. Another in sending collect valuable freight and still another in sending goods of ordinary value. Stickers are provided by the express agent which will be pasted on every article that goes out of the office. On these will be marked the date of ship ment, party to whom shipped, number of pieces in the shipment, and the number of the waybill. Of these stickers there will be four different kinds. For instance, if fifty boxes of fruit are shipped a sticker will have to be pasted on every box with the above information written on it. The two other kinds of stickers w:ll be used on collect and prepaid shipments of one package only. A. D. Allen, ol Chiwaukum, was here yesterday. He said be would go to Seattle next week to hear Roosevelt if he had to mortgage his farm. He will hear Roosevelt and wont have to mortgage his farm either. Leavenworth, Wash., Friday, September 6, 1912 JOHN C. LAWRENCE FOR PROGRESSIVE GOVERNOR Has Made a Straightforward, Manly Campaign and Should Win On the 20th of July, 1911, over one year ago, I submitted to the people of this state my declaration of principles announcing my candidacy for the Re publican nomination and election to the office of Governor. My principles were the first submitted by any pro gressive candidate for Governor. I then began an honest, straight foreward campaign in my behalf, tak ing an open and krank position on all close progressive questions of impor tance to the citizens of this state, put ting forth the greatest effort in behalf of true progressiveism. I became a delegate to the Aberdeen convention, my choice for president being Robert LaFollett. I voted in that convention to instruct the Progressive National delegarion to support in the National Convention ex-president Theodore Roosevelt, Senator .Robert LaFollett, or any other progressive that could be nominated. I have made ray fight be fore the people, without organization, headquarters or paid workers, have spent little money, but no candidate has worked harder or spoken to more people than I have, and, as conditions stood, I f?lt that I had my fight won, and would have gladly cotinued the fight. Gov. Hay not being the strongest candidate, his big news papers deliberately concealed the facts about my generous reception in East ern Washington, the attendance at my meetings outnumbering that of Gov. Hay, over two to one. A few days ago I was informed that the National Progressive Committee had decided that the Progressive cause on principle necessitated a complete Progressive ticket for the state of Washington. The principles for which the National Progressive movement has started is greater than the personal ambition of any man seeking the office of Governor and I submit to its decree because its principles contain the con victions of my life as crystalized in my Declaration of Principles and there fore, I have decided to withdraw my candidacy filed as a Republican. No great party can endure, in my judgment, wherein its leaders appoint to office of vital importance to the masses, the paid lackeys of big busi ness, and with concentrated wealth in control of party machinery, backed by big newspapers supporting the system and concealing from the people the true conditions of our political life. I believe the new Progressive party is free from such influences, and has pre sented to the American people by far the best platform ever submitted by any great party of our country, and upon such a platform we will build a "Government of the people, for the people, and by the people," wherein the dominant note of our political life will be direct, not indirect govern ment. It is just as necessary that a candidate for the high office of governor of this state, has a foundation for his campaign, a constructive and progress ive platform, as it is for a great party, and upon my platform, written long ago, embodying as it does, the vital fundamental principles contained in the Progressive National Platform, I will appeal to the people to choose me in the Progressive primaries to occur September 7th, and if honored by the nomination, the Progressives of the state of Washington can rest assured that I will make one of the hardest fights for the election ever made by a candidate for Governor of this state. John C. Lawrence. Col. Gooding and John Mooney passed through here Thursday on their way from Wenatchee to Chewawa river valley where their half million dollar irrigation project is well under way. The fifth of the month is pay day on the canal work. Messrs. Good ing and Mooney returned to Leaven worth to spend the night and will re turn to Wenatchee today. Progressivs Primaries Tomorrow Adherents of progressive political I faith will have the opportunity tomor row, (Saturday, Sept. 7th) of express ing their preference for state, legisla tive and county officers. The primary election will be held in the city hall from 12 o'clock noon until 8 o'clock in the evening. Under the law the progressive party could have nominated their county and state ticket at a con vention on the 10th day of September, but preferred the primary method be cause it is one of the cardinal principles of the party to avoid convention methods, which have in the past led to such flagrant abuses. Instead of nom inating by convention they believe in direct nominations by the majority of the voters, wherefore it behooves every progressive voter, men and women, to turn out tomorrow and indicate their individual preference for every officer to be elected next November. PAVING INJUNCTION 10 BE SETTLED TOMORROW Case Tried Before Judge McCoy—Evi- dence All In The injunction suit brought to stop the street paving now under way came to trial before Court Commissioner McCoy in Wenatchee last Tuesday, when the argument on the demurrer was heard, judgment on which will also be rendered on Saturday. Most of the evidence submitted was in the nature of written documents. The at torneys for both plaintiff and defendant are confident the court will hold with them. In the meantime work on the paving has gone steadily on for the past two weeks and another three weeks would probably have been completed. In the event the court sustains the in junction somebody will be out a pot of money for the work already done. Whether it will be the paving com pany, the city or those who brought the injunction proceedings must be determined by future courts. The opening of the grouse season last Sunday saw the hills covered with hunters and from all reports there were few who failed to return without birds. A few years back grouse were very plentiful in these parts but they are gradually diminishing in number and like ducks which used to be so plen tiful in this vicinity they will soon be a curiosity. Rev. Max Jeffords returned from Ellensburg the first of this week where he attended the annual meeting of the Methodist conference. Returning him to the pastorate of the church in Leav enworth was very satisfactory to the members of his church. Mr. Jeffords is a conscientious Christian, a hard church worker and an excellent citizen. Not every hunter can go out in one day and return in the evening with a mountain goat, but Bill Smith and Ray Arnold did it last Sunday and didn't go more than six miles from town either. They say they might have got another one, but did not wish to lug it back to town and therefore did not fire the fatal shot. Judge Black, of Everett, was here the first of the week. The judge is a candidate for governor on the demo cratic ticket and is making a vigorous canvass for the nomination. Miss Bessie Simmons who recently returned from Los Angeles, Cal., is here this week visiting with her sister Mrs. Pearl Bissel. Mrs. R. E. Brown who has spent the past week here with her husband re turned to Spokane Thursday afternoon. Miss Johnson of Wenatchee was the guest of Miss Bessie Simmons several days the first of the week. George Gardner, sales manager for the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co., was here yesterday. F. A. Reynolds was a business vis itor in Wenatchee Thursday. F. A. LOSKAMP DEVELOPING VALUABLE MINES IN IDAHO Local Man Believes He Has Discovered One of the Best Mines in Idaho The following extract from the Sen tinel, of Elk River, Idado, concerning F. A. Loskamp, of this city, who owns valuable mining property at that place, will no doubt be of interest to local people: "After many ups and downs the old Jerico mme —hitherto little more than a prospect —seems in a fair way to be come a steady producer and may make another Idaho company rich. The Burnt Creek Mining Co., the Wash- I ington corporation which now owns the property, is preparing to undertake ex tensive development work and within the next three months will prove it to be a real mine or a mere hole in the ground. Frank A. Loskamp, the Leavenworth mining man who is the directing head of the company, was in Elk River this week on his way to the Jerico to put as many men to work as can be used to advantage in the small workings. He was not at all boastful as to the company's plans and prospects and his conversation inspires confidence in his good faith as in his experience. He is evidently not a stock market miner. While here he said: "The Jerico has all the earmarks of a mine but the de velopment so far has not been enough to demonstrate its ultimate value. I do not care to make any definite state ment of our plans at present. The lead which has already been cut is un doubtedly a true fissure vein. It is about six feet wide and carries good values iv free milling ore, the poorest of the vein matter running $8.40 per ton, and if that holds with depth it will make a splendid concentrating proposition. There is a streak of high grade in the lead that at times is worth a dollar a pound, and if those values were to continue no concentrating ore at all would be needed to make the Jericho a bonanza. But, of course, that is too good to last. "Our tunnel gives us about 170 feet of depth below the outcroppings, but we have only drifted in a short dis tance on the lead. We will drift about 50 to 60 feet, and if it looks as good then as it does now we shall prepare during the winter for a steady run af ter machinery can be got in next spring. The five-stamp mill now on the property may be discarded, but on that point as on many others our plans are not complete. "I shall take a careful sample of the face of the tunnel within the next few days and have a test made. This will be repeated frequently. I will remain at the mine and be in aid out of Elk River until Thanksgiving and if I am not disappointed the Jericho will pro vide all the turkey I will want for a good many Thanksgivings. "But you can't tell about a mine. This one looks good; it's no pocket, and we'll soon know if its values hold. In the meantime I'll make no pro phecies. One thing is sure: If the Jericho turns out to be as good as it looks its not the only good lead in the district." BIG AUTO PARADE WILL BE HELD IN SPOKANE Outside Cities Invited to Take Part- Prizes will be Awarded to Towns Sending the Most Machines The entire Inland empire is invited to exhibit automobiles in the greatest and most unique parade ever held in Spokane, which will be the command ing event of the opening festivities of the Interstate fair, on September 30. The local commercial clnb has re ceived an invitation to participate in the pageant, which will be held at noon Monday, September 30. The ad club of Spokane is sponsor for the parade, in which practically every civic organization of the city is particpating. Cities outside of Spokdfe will be ALL HOMt NEWS $1.50 Per Year eligible to compete for two silver cups. The city sending the largest number of machines, based on its population by the 1910 census, will receive a cup. Thus a town of 1000, with ten cars entered, will be on an equal footing with a town of 2000, having 20 cars entered. The greatest parade in the history of the Inland empire is ex pected, and one of the results will be the impression made on eastern visit ors by a large showing of machines from the farming districts. The automobile that travels the greatest distance to enter the parade also will receive a silver loving cup. Although there is no rule regarding decorating, it is expected many of the cars will be ornamented with the prin cipal products of their district, such as wheat, apples, etc. In addition, cars from all parts of the Inland empire may compete in the various divisions for the best decorated, most unique car, oldest car, etc., IS cups comprising the list of awards. Both the automobile dealers and the owners of Spokane are taking a lively interest in the parade, and a representation of many hundred ma chines is anticipated. GORDON C. CORBALEY CONGRESSMAN-ARARGE Stands Squarely on the Progressive Platform Contract I rejoice in beng a candidate for congress this year because I think there never was a time when there was greater opportunity for a young man to go out before the people of all the state and build for himself a career of usefulness and service. My life work is largely before me. I am ambitious to make it a success, to make such a record with the peo ple as to cause them to believe in me as a man and as a citizen. The Progressive Party is the first of the great parties of the nation to de clare for that social and industrial jus tice, which every right minded man or woman believes in and which we must bring about if we are going to develop manhood and womanhood for the future America. Have you read the Progressive con tract pledge with the people, in part as follows ? The prohibition of child labor. A minimum wage scale for women —which means an end of those great commercial houses where young girls work for nothing and are forced to a life on the street. The prohibition of night work and a longer day than eight hours for women —things not only right in themselves but necessary for the protection of our motherhood. The absolute fixing of safety and health standards in all of the lines of great employment. Effective legislation looking to the prevention of industrial accidents and occupational diseases. The protection of home life against the hazards of sickness, irregular em ployment and old age through a sys tem of governmental insurance. All these things and all of those other things enumerated in the Pro gressive contract with the American people are right in themselves and would have been put in the platforms of the old parties long ajro if the lead ers of those parties had not been seek ing the favor of the interests. You will look in vain in both the democratic and the republican parties of this year for one word of promise to remove the women and children of the land from the grasp of big business. Can you believe that those parties really stand for the interest of the com mon people ? A.. J. Ogle, of Washington, D. C, a geological surveyor is in the valley making a survey of the county. Quad rangle maps will be made of the We natchee valley this fall and the topog raphy of the surrounding country will be taken at a later date.
