The Leavenworth Echo comments on the Baker bill repealing the newspaper libel law and a $80,000 salaries bill, noting limited progress on libel, railroad and tax commissions, and speculation on the Washington state senate nomination from the thirteenth district. The paper laments Chelan county’s limited influence due to Kititas dominance and anticipates redistricting.
The joint senate and house committee drafts a regulative railroad commission bill critics say is mild enough to gain passage yet strong enough to curb extortion. The Echo urges broad powers to act on apparent evils and enforce decrees without waiting for formal complaints.
Trustworthy source reports the Cahil family home seven miles from Leavenworth as a diphtheria source. After outbreaks and two related cases, local schools closed twice. health officials urge commissioners to destroy the log house and contents to prevent further spread.
The Chelan county Republican Central Committee met to nominate a successor to Senator J P Sharp. It adopted resolutions praising his faithfulness, public service, and friendship and instructed publication throughout the county and distribution to his family. Members Thomas Bollman S P Bfecher C E Graham signed.
The Echo suggests pound bricks of butter wrapped in parchment for direct-to-consumer sales. It notes neat attractive packaging, easy slicing, and the use of printed wrappers with the dairyman’s name. A shipment of twenty-five thousand wrappers and printing ink is available at a moderate cost.
