A label notes a weekly feature in The Leavenworth Echo titled Scraps from the Intellectual Junk Heap. It appears as a quirky editorial column with a Friday issuance and a $1.50 yearly subscription note for communications.
An editorial argues for approving the Quincy valley project and dam by referendum. It cites dam safety comparisons, notes Keokuk Iowa and other large dams, and claims no risk to taxpayers or state liability. The piece emphasizes durable construction and potential benefits to residents with asthma.
The paper reports two asthma relief cases from the Sound area. Mrs. Fred Benedict from Mt. Vernon improved after three weeks in this climate, walking easily after two weeks. J. M. Lawler from Everett benefited after two months and is free from the disease. H. S. McNett of Leavenworth found relief six years ago and has remained well. The piece advocates the climate's curative potential and calls for a local sanitarium.
A Chelan county reader accuses Wenatchee of engineering an endless official chain to control county offices. The piece alleges entrenched deputy chief appointments, insider ticket shaping, and voter fatigue outside Wenatchee. It calls for independent candidates and wider county support beyond Wenatchee.
A political figure condemns the electorate after a defeat claiming the public misread the party's character. The statement flags impending impact on policy and strategy before the next Tuesday voting.
The piece argues misstatements distort tax burden by comparing Kansas with Washington and Texas. It notes Kansas has no public debt, Texas relies on interest and land rents, and census figures from 1900 to 1910 show Kansas growth but slower than Washington. Insists on factual accuracy.
The article notes that all republican ticket holders from representative to justice of the peace live in Wenatchee, most democratic county ticket members are Wenatchee residents, and several progressive names are Wenatchee natives. It warns outsiders risk losing influence as Wenatchee appears to control the political landscape.
A local admonition urges voters to back the Blue Sky law on the ballot to halt fraudulent oil stock schemes marketed by deceitful sellers. The note warns voters their return on investments is as likely as a sheep escaping a butcher. It plays on distrust of representatives from Wenatchee and ends with a castor oil metaphor.
The 125 ton 42 cm siege gun has a 28 mile range and fires every ten minutes. Each shot costs 9,500 dollars, using three quarters of a ton of powder for a one ton projectile. At 120 rounds the gun becomes useless.
