The Leavenworth Echo newspaper announces its Friday issue dated September 14 1906. DEED H MAYAR serves as editor and proprietor and the paper lists subscription at 1.00 per year in advance with communications addressed to the paper.
Elmer E. Stowell of Cashmere is the Republican nominee for sheriff of Chelan County. The Democratic precinct meeting is set for tomorrow night in the opera house as the Chelan County campaign heats up after the Democrats hold their convention on the 22nd instant. Wenatchee has shipped about 200 cars of fruit and vegetables this year, with shipments averaging ten cars per day.
The Wenatchee Republic reports Mr. Davis extracted a solemn promise from Deed H. Mayor to support the current state Congressional delegation. The piece says no such promise was asked or made and defends Davis as open about his opinions.
A Moore Co window display showcased diverse fruit grown within miles of Leavenworth drawing attention to a potential shipping boom. Officials note 5 to 10 cars of fruit could depart daily within three years, with local soil and climate likened to Wenatchee Cashmere valleys and acre values cited at 500 to 1100 dollars. The Chelan county Republicans recently acted on the issue.
The piece argues Roosevelt could seek a second term since he only served a partial term after McKinley’s death and has not held two full terms. It compares to Washington and Grant, noting no unwritten rule bars a second nomination and that Roosevelt’s own stance supports ineligibility, though the facts differ.
The first of five large Baldwin built Mallet compound locomotives, No. 1800, arrived at St. Paul and is slated for use on the Leavenworth to Skykomish route across the Cascades. Weighing about 335000 pounds, with 12 drivers and two power cylinder sets, the monster can haul up to 2100 tons on a 2.2 percent grade and will operate bidirectionally with end trailer wheels.
Technical notes describe a locomotive with a 73 foot two engine and tender wheelbase, 44 feet rear axle span, and 10 degree curves. It explains cylinder arrangement, steam flow at 200 psi, and exhaust to the front cylinders and stack. The Wahlsheart valve gear sits outside the driving wheels. Also mentions upcoming Industrial Society meeting and Degree of Honor events.
