CAMPSITE
IMPROVEMENT
TUESDAY
Whaia T<r»n to Be Out with Picks
and Shovels Next Tuesday After
noon to Prepare Tourist Camp.
The Campsite Committee of the '
Comemrcial Club has taken up with I
the business men the matter of clos- j
ing their stores next Tuesday at no
and the whole town getting out and
preparing the Tourist Campsite for
use. and everyone has readily con
sented.
The stores and other busineu
places will endeavor to take care of I
the needs of their customers during
the forenoon and then close at 12 and |
all will pet on the job at 1 o'clock, j
Render* of the Echo are requested to
kindly discuss this with their neigh
bois. so that everyone may know and j
not be inconvenienced by the ar
rar cement.
The Campsite committee is laying
plans for the improvements. The
first requisite is to clear the grounds
of rubbish and grub out such bushel
and stumps found to hinder the use
of the grounds as a campsite. Then
toilets will be built and suitable con- |
crele stoves constructed, water pipes j
placed, electric lights installed, etc.
It is probable that the grounds will |
be platted and stakes placed, allow- |
ing certain defined spaces for parking
autos and erecting tents, so that the
ground may be utilized to the best
advantage in order to accommodate
the greatest number.
The plot of ground is fortunately
located on a main thoroughfare, and
runs back to the river. It may be en
tered from the road at either front
corner and will afford plenty of room
for at least fifty autos. it is believed.
Water from the city system is avail
able merely by piping it to any part
of the grounds desired. It will be
supplied with electric lights from a
line which passes at the front.
Everyone is asked to brine a lot of
tools to the grounds for some may
have none. Those who cannot work
in the afternoon may come in the
morning, for there will be someone
there to work with them.
FORSYTH RESIGNS.
According to the World, there wai
much excitement on the streets of
Wenatchee. occasioned by Sheriff
Forsyth's accident the nipht before.
The following two items are taken
from Friday's World:
Sheriff Forsyth is resigning today.
He says:
"I have been on the job now for
fiftcn months. 1 have tried to do
my duty a- a public officer. The ac
cident which occurred last night ii
the cause of new stories all over the
street. A bunch of people of thi.
city are like a band of hunery wolves
waiting for something to talk about,
■waiting to find some reason to find
fault with the sheriff. 1 feel the an
noyance is greater than I should be
asked to stand and am ready to quit.
"My re.-ignation will take effect
t'-e first of May. This will enable
me to clear up the criminal cases now
on hand for the coming term of court.
"I do this in fairness to the county
a- there is much unfinished business
and it is my desire to leave the office
in pood shape."
Capt. Forsyth expects to lrav^
shortly on a trip to Montana where
he has interests that are becoming
valuable and will go from there to
Ottumwa. lowa, to rWI a brother
who has been ill for years, and
suffering from a long liege of ,-m^'.
diabetes.
Friday's sensation on the streets of
Wenatchee was the accident «V?!i oc
curred shortly before midnipht on
the co,n?r of Wenatchep Avenue and
First Street, when Sheriff Foisyth'j
car lost a rear wheel by co'lidincr
with the curb.
■'I was proceeding north on Wenat
chae avenue," said Sheriff Forsyth
Friday, "and started to turn wen o-
First Street. In order to avoid col
lidinß with a closed car that was corn
ing south on Wenatrhee Avenu?. I
speeded up and this cause 1 the
wheels to skid on the slippery pave
ment. The rear wheel crashed into
the curb and I was thrown vio'ent'y
atrainst the ste<rintr wheel bre2icintr
one of my ribs. I had Dr. Gerhardt
fix me up so that I am able to be
about."
Supt. A. T. button of the I.eavf-n
--worth schools left Tuesday night for
Spokane to attend a three-days' ses
sion of the Inland Empire Teacher-'
Association— Wednesday to Friday.

The Echo.
Leavenworth. Wash.
Gentlemen:
Enclosed find check for 12.60 to
cover year's subscription to the Echo. I
I have enjoyed the Echo very much !
this past year and have noticed w I
pleasure the wonderful stride- the
people of Leavenworth arc making ai
to the betterment and development
of the city, and sarrooadings, and as
I can not be there personally to say,
"You"rr do'ng fine, keep the good
work up." but those are my senti- !
ments whenever I read the Echo on
Tuesday noon when it comes.
We have been quite well all winter,
outside of slight colds, and until re
cently, when Verna developed a case
of whooping cough.
We arc having very wet weather
this iprlng which keeps the roads in
very poor condition and iloes not per
mit the farmer? to do any work on
the land.
From all I can learn, we here in
the centra] west were harder hit by
the great business depression than
you people in the apple district. Of
course, many farmers brought on
Their own hard times by reckless
speculation in lowa farm land so that
when the bottom fell out they did not
have any produce to turn for a hip
return and consequently farmers
went bankrupt, and many others are
on the vertre.
With best wishes to all. I am very
truly yours.

SANITARIUM SUBSCRIPTION
CAMPAIGN PROPRESSING
The stock subscription campaign of
the Cascade Sanitarium was coni
! meneeci last Tuesday morning by the
; organizers of the corporation, with
I Geo. Hauber. O. S, Sampson an'
Frank Hennessey in active charge of
1 the campaign: and a determined ef
fort will be made by the committe
, and by the different organizations i:
I the Wenatchi i Valley within the next
few weeks to raise the full quota
| necessary to complete the building
■ and equipment at Leave] rtl of j
what is expected to be one of the fin
est institution.- of its kind west of the
Mississippi. Every busbies* ho i
organization and individual will be in
terviewed and asked to contribute to
this worthy cause.
Leavenworth is an ideal place for
a sanitarium. It.- dear air. ;
water, refreshing climate and beauti
ful scenery have brought hundreds of
people to this vicinity in spite of the
almost complete lack of accommoda
tions with which it has hitherto been
handicapped; and the new institution
will undoubtedly bring hundreds of
new visitors and new residents, and
mean thousands of dollars spent in
Leavenworth and this vicinity every
year, besides the many a Ivantagei
to the citizens of the community in
the way of hospital and medical ser
vices. It is proposed to build what
will eventually be the most modi
hospital and sanitarium in the west :
and with an institution of this kind. !
situated at the entrance to the most j
beautiful natural park in the world,
in a sportsman's paradise, at the
gateway of the Cascade Mountains.
it require! no great stretch of imagi
nation to foresee a wonderful future I
for the sanitarium and for the city in
which it is located.
The Cascade Sanitarium is to be
long to the citizens of Leavenworth
and this community, and its plan of
organization has been very carefully |
worked out with this object in view, j
It has a capital stock of ?100.000, of j
which $99,000 is preferred stock and ;
•■f 1,000 common stock. The common j
stock is the voting stock of the cor- |
poration, and is divided into 100
share? of the par value of $10.00 per
.-hare, and is to be so distributed that
no person can own more than five
shares of the common flock, the own
ership to be limited to persons actual
ly residing in the immediate commun
ity. The following is quoted from the
by-laws of the corporation:
"Not more than five shares of
the common stock of thi- corpor
ation shall be held by any one
person. All common Btock shall
lie endorsed in blank by the own
er thereof, and deposited in es
crow in such bank as the Board
of Trustees may designate: and
in case any owner of common
stock should die or remove from
the County of Chelan or should
become incapable of activ, . par
ticipating in the management of
the corporation, the corporation
shall have the right, through it
board of trustees, to purchase
said stock at it- par value, and
may sell the same to guch other
person a.- may be designated by
the Board of Trustees."
Common stock i- not entitled
interest, dividends or profits.
The preferred sutck i.- entitled to I
many benefits not given to •
it^ of the common :-;.".-k. Holderi
the preferred stock are entitled to
turn in to the corporation twenty-five
per cent of their stock in payment for
any hospital services rendered them,
and the- stork will be accepted at its
par value: but the corporation re
serve.- the right to limit the amount
of stock to be turned in to the cor
poration in payment for hospital
sen-ices during any one year to 1?2.
--ilOO.OO; this being for the purpose of
protecting the corporation. In addi
tion to this, the Board of Trustees has
the right to pay interest at a rate not
to exceed six per rent on the prefer
red stock as one of the expenses of
operation of the institution, and also
has the right to pay off. from the
earning! of the institution, the prin
cipal of the preferred stock as fast as
the corporation is able to do so.
The active management of the cor
poration is vested in a board of six
trustees elected by the holders of the
common stock. The organizers of the
corporation are the present trustees,
but new trustees will be elected on
the first day of June this year.
The Chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners, and the May
or of the City of Leavenworth are
ex-officio trustee? of the corporation.
The corporation is organized a? a
charitable institution, and as such is
exempt from the payment of taxes
and other expenses which would be
charged to ordinary corporations; but
in order to secure these benefits it
was necessary to make those officials
members of the board of trustees
with the sime powers as the other
members.
Whenever the corporation wishes
to purchase or sell real estate it is
necessary to get the consent of a
two-thirds vote of all the stock of the
corporation represented at a special
meeting called for that purpose, in
cluding the preferred stock; and the
two-thirds vote must comprise at
least a majority of all the stock of
the corporation.
The Cascade Sanitarium was or
ganized under the auspices of the
Commercial Club of the City of Leav
enworth. and it has the loyal support
of every organization in the com
munity. It will fill a long felt need
in Leavenworth; but in order to ac
complish its object it must have the
financial and moral support of every
citizen. Each person should sub
scribe for as much stock as he can
afford to buy. and induce his friends
and neighbors to do likewise: inves
tigate, boost and advertise, and if
this is done the success of the enter
prise is assured. Remember that
1/eavenworth has yet to fail in any
thing it has ever undertaken.
It is not necessary that each sub
scription be paid in cash, and ar
rangements have been made for de
ferred payments in case the subscrib
er desires an arrangement of this
kind. As it is intended to build and
complete the institution this summer,
however, it is necessary that a sub
stantial portion of each subscription
be paid when it is made.
Are you doing your bit to make
the city beautiful? This is clean-up
time.

luncheon Friday and the interest in
matters did not lap. Me*dames Ar
chie Hetherington, C. S. Taylor. R. W.
Dolsen. R. J. Smith, F. A. Constable
and W. M. Brender served and Mrs.
Frank Hennessey collected the cash.
; The luncheon was splendid and the
vote of thanks hearty.
A surprise was sprung by Secre
j tar}' Constable, who. in reading the
financial statement, announced that
| some sixty odd dollars had been turn
ed into the club treasury from the
former Service Club and other sourc
i es.
A letter nu read from Congress
: man Webster in which he gave it as
his conclusion that the work being
done to secure the opening of the
Stevens Pass would bear fruit and
that the pass would be opened. Other
opinions bore out this conclusion.
Mr. Melntosh spoke on the matter
of securing the gravel on the road
from Peshastin, .>outh of the river,
and thought that we should use such
influence as we may have to get the
work completed early, while the
ground is mellow so that it would be
come smooth and serviceable for this
season's use.
The matter of supporting Mrs. Bry
an in her work to put on a concert
April 19 was broached and a motion
passede encouraging the undertaking.
Mr. Little of Wenatchee. former
president of the Wenatchee Commer
cial Club, was present and when
called upon spoke on civic matters,
encouraging Leavenworth people to
work unitedly and great results
would be realized.
SPRING.
By Charley L. Gant
The gay and festive bullfrog, he
Begins to croak his song,
He doesn't make much harmony,
But warbles good and strong;
His voice sounds like a candidate.
Not yet a nominee.
Of what he is he does not prate.
But what he wants to be.
The meek and lowly candidate
For big. fat. office yearns.
He loves his county and his state.
His flivver oil he burns.
He thinks it proper now to don
His very finest coat.
He is the biggest whistle on
The very smallest boat.
The Flapper Girl is coming out.
In that sweet rig .-he loves.
She has no Furbelows to flout.
But lots of Furaboves.
The lady politician, she
Has joined the big machine.
And so the wily grafter, he
Is grazing pastures gree:i.
From all the indications, I.
Can very plainly see.
The naked spring is coming nigh.
The summer soon will be.
And from the candidates and frog.-.
And flappers on the wing.
We read in Nature's catalogs.
About the coming spring.
BANDMASTER McDANIEI
GIVES OPINION.
In view of the fact that Wenatchee
is inviting bands to come to that city
for the Blossom Festival May 5 and
6 and expects six or eight bands and
is offering only one prize of $100 for
the best band, Mr. McDaniel says that
there is little probability of them se
curing many bands. No band can be
taken there and play two days with
out losing at least $100 even if win
the prize.
Leaven worth, he says, has a good
little ban !, playing some good pvisic.
but he will not consider for a mo
ment taking it down there under the
conditions as he understand? [Win,
out losing at least $100 even if the
prize is won.
STOCKMEN'S ASSN. ORGANIZED.

Boost Summer I'atronage.
A letter was -received last week
by the Echo from F. A. Losekamp.
| too late for publishing, making sug
gestions which may be of value in
drawing attention and summer travel
to this section. Mr. Losekamp says:
Get photos of the beautiful
scenery and send to railway of
ficials. These will be sent to all
stations and large hotels. Also
get photos of your best build
ings Masonic hall. Firemen's
hall, school buildings, etc.. and
have people write editorials or
articles on different subjects,
concerning Leavenworth.
Mr. Losekamp generously offer.- to
give $5.00 every month and suggests
that $20.00 per month be raised and
kept posted for monthly prizes, and
continues:
And you will Ik- surprir-
ed what knowledge and what
splendid views the puhlic will
give you. It will be interesting
and at the name time boost the
city.
Take for instance, the sub
ject: "Why Leavenworth will
develop into a hirjre summer re
sort."
An article on "Scenic Beauties
of Leavenworth" might he writ
