To Be Held At Spokane August 9 to
14 -Irrigation Districts Will
Be Well Represented
PARADES THE FEATURE THIS YEAR
John S. Hughes Tells About It
Echo Band and Marching Club
Will Likely Attend-Many East
eners Will Stop Off.
John S. Hughes, field repre
sentative of the Board of Con
trol of the Seventeenth National
Irrigation Congress, which is to
be held at Spokane August 0 to
14, was in Echo for a few days
last week.
Mr. Hughes' purpose in visit
ing Echo was to interest our
people in sending our band, ac
companied by a marching club,
to represent this city in the
various parades which will be
held during the meeting of the
Congress
Much will be made of these
parades this year, as they are
designed to take the place of the
exhibitions held in connection
with former Congresses. No
exhibits will be solicited this
year, owing to the early date at
which the Congress is held and
aho because of the fact that
most Northwestern irrigation
districts will have very complete
exhibits at the A. Y. P. Fair.
Mr. Hughes said, "If Echo
sends a fine band and an unique
marching club with many ban
ners, you will attract the atten
tion, of v'sitors at the Congress.
Some of the parades will in
clude float and this feature will
help greatly as an advertising
factor. The band will be placed
ahead of the float and the
marching club will follow."
The parade given on Tuesday,
August 10, will tell allegorically
of the development of the West.
Thursday's parade will be the
March of the Irrigation and In
dustrial Army.
The governors of all the states
have been invited and many will
be present with their staffs. Of
course, the " principal interest
will center around President
Taft, who has promised to come
if possible.
The factor which gives this
Congress such advertising value
is the arge number of Eastern
YES ! It would be easy to go ahead and enum
erate all kinds of merchandise, dress goods,
footwear, articles for the home, etc. But what is
the use? It isn't just things you're after. You
want quality, texture, things that are wholesome
and articles that will lit and last.
This store has lots of good things for good people
It's a store of quality; and the best In the begin
ning is always the cheapest in the end

people who will stop off at Spo
kane at that time on their way
to Seattle. Worcester, Mass.,
will have a special train, also
the Merchants' Association of
Chicago. Another special will
come from Chicago and still an
other from St. Paul. I
All the progressive towns in1
the irrigated districts of Oregon'
and the Northwest will be well j
represented at the Congress,;
headed by their different bands.
"As you will see," said Mr.
Hughes, "It is not a question as
to whether Echo will be repre
sented. Of course it will. It
cannot afford to be left out. It
is a duty it owes itself. The
only question is, how will Echo
be represented? By all means
send your band and a good big
marching club and uniform them
appropriately. If possible, send
a ffoat which will show the re
sources of this district. The
Board of Control, which is com
posed of the, business men of
Spokane, urge Echo people to
share with them the benefits of
this great occasion."
A SMALL BLAZE.
The Echo Fire Department
was called out last Saturday
afternoon by an alarm from the
Clay Branstetter bouse, occupied
by A. Long well, of the Tum-A-Lum
Lumber Company. The
blaze was small and was extin
guished without turning the
water into the hose, although it
took quick and heroic work to do
so. The damage was nominal
and fully covered by insurance.
A large crowd of citizens soon
congregated at the scene and
willing hands lent every possible
aid in fighting the tire and in re
movii.g the household effects to
a place of safety.
Mr. Longwell was smoking
bees out of the building, and for
this purpose placed a quantity
of sulphur under the flue, which
he ignited with a match. Leav
ing the room for a moment he
returned to find it in flames.
Mr. Longwell smUked the bees
out all right and now has two
fine hives.
After the alarm was sent in it
took Hose Company No. 2 less
than 3 minutes to reach the
scene of the fire, couple on and
ready to throw water. In nine
minutes the fire was out and No,
1 returned to the hose house.
No. 2 was held awhile at the
scene for fear that the fire
might break out again.

FINE RIPE CHERRIES
AT WEST VIEW FARM
Under the above caption tlu
Uenniston Herald of last week
has the following to say:
"The first few days of the
week were busy ones at West
View fruit ranch, the direct
cause being the cherry trees that
were leavily laden with the
finely flavored, ripe fruit. J. S.
West is proprietor of the well
kept ranch and expresses satis
faction over the yitld which
more than met his expecta
tions."
J. Pelmulder, representing the
Milton nursery, called our atten
tion to the item and stated that
he had only sold the trees to
Mr. West last fa.l, at which tiinej
they were 2 years old, and that
c vould bo an impossibility for
the trees to bear any cherries
this year, having, also, only
been planted last fall.
The truth, when told, is good
enough about this prolific sec
tion, and such gross misstate
ments as the above always work
to the detriment of a growing
community.
The Register does not believe
in misrepresenting facts, and
while we are sorry for the lack
offoieiight and good judgment
on the part of the Hermiston
editor, at the same time the
Register, from its standpoint
of duty and honest journalism, is
compelled to show up the falsity
of the above cherry item.
Sore Nipples.
Any mother who has had experi
ence with tills distressing ailment
will be pleased to know that a cure
njay be effected by applying Chamber
lain's Salve as soon as the child is
done nursing. Wipe it off with a soft
cloth before allowing the balw to
nurse. Many traiued nurses use this
salve with best results. For sale by
