WE MUST HAVE A BRIBGE

The necessity for a bridge
across the Wenatchee river Just
above where the Icycle enters,
is so pressing that it can not be
nut off. The Cascade Orchard
lands which are rapidly being
sold to actual settlers, and will
be put into cultivation the com
ing year makes it necessary to
build this bridge.
Previous to the building Of the
dam by the mill company there
was good ford across the river
near the point where the bridge
is now desired, that could be used
eight months in the year. Since
the dam was put in the back
water makes the ford impossible
of use. At present a ferry boat
is used to cross the river, but as
there is no current in the river
it makes the operation very slow
and difficult.
A bridge can be built across
the river at this point that would
be comparatively inexpensive.
The banks on both sides are suit
able, so that no long approaches
would be required, the channel
is narrow enough SO that single
span bridge would only be neces-
sary.
The bridge should be built this
fall or winter, during the low
stage of water.
1t is not only the people who
will use the bridge in going to
their homes that are interested
in this movement, Every bust
man and property owner in
Leavenworth is interested and
should do all in his power to
have this bridge built attain early
date.
The sooner it is built the
sooner will we have from fifty to
n hundred new homes built; the
sooner will we have that number
of producers and consumers
added to the population tributary
10 our town.

had life enough when living to be a
sensation after 6eath--that is, If he Ii

been circulated from time to time. and
recently the sedate editor OF the Critic
gave space to writer to say that he
had heard from him recently in a
Spanish monastery and also in book
shop in New York. 1t would have just
suited Oscar, living, to be scheduled as
dead, then come around to prove II

1t looked like Cashmere. Every
time we picked it up we thought
of Cashmere. It's very appear
ance breathed Cashmere. 1t was
one of the neatest and best
printed andedited country papers
in Eastern Washington. 1t was
filed with home news and home
advertisements. Since it has
changed its name to The Press,
and is pressed in Wenatchee, by
The Republic press, it looks like
Wenatchee, has more Wenatchee
news, and Wenatchee advertise
ments than home news and ads.
The Press is a splendid adver'
tisement for Wenatohee and the
Republic, but, we are led to ask,
where does Cashmere get off?
The Press is owned, printed
and edited in Wenatchee. If it
earns its owner anything, the
money is spent in Wenatchee.
We repeat, it is very good for
Wenatchee, but what particular
benefit is it to the people of
Cashmere to pay for an edition
of the Wenatchee Republic with
a Cashmere date line over it?

An exchange says While Senator
Depew is not facing prison cell as the
result of his grating, as are some of
the United States senators who might
be named. it nevertheless looks as
though he will haye to be placed in the
same class with Senators Burton and
Mitchell, who apparently were not as
clever as Senator Depew in keeping on
the safe legal side.
