commencing the knoll to the east OF
Mr.. Losekamp's store as the most de-
sirable location for same. The meet
ing was also attended by Mr.. Bowen,
chief engineer of the western division
of the Great Northern Ry., who was
there in the interest OF that company.
He had several blue prints OF the com
pany's property in Leavenworth with
him which were very carefully exam
ined and discussed by himself, the
county commissioners, and the delega-
tion from Leavenworth, and the unan-
imous decision of those present, includ-
ing Mr. Bowen, was that the only feas-
ible crossing would be a viaduct at
aforementioned point. When the sug-
gestIon of subway was submitted to
MIR. Bowen he said the Great Northern
would absolutely refuse to consider q
subway at any point, and that the over
head crossing was the only practical
one, and that he would recommend
such to his company.
Now, in regard to the cost OF con-
struction and maintaining an overhead
crossing, the taxpayer will not pay one
cent for either construction or main
tainance, as the state law is very plain
on the subject and throws the entire
cost upon the railway company.
And in regard to liability to employ
ees injured by said overhead crossing
it is the railroad company's risk, and
it has probably had experience enough
during its existence to have learned
the proper construction of viaducts so
as to avoid accidents to its employees.
Any thotful citizen can see the folly
of subway. In the first place sub
way constructed under the railways s
right of way would be two or three
hundred feet long, and for four or five
months in the year the only vehic e
that is in use is the sleigh or sled and
just imagine rancher coming TO Leav-
enworth with cord of wood, which
weighs between 5000 and 1000 lbs,
drawn by team of 1000 lbs horses and
attempting to pull that load over the
floor of subway without a fake OF
snow on it. What would be the re-
suit Picture for yourself. And fur
ther, subway would be an ideal place
for the thug, the highwayman and the
rapist to ply their nefarious pursuits
and desires In seclusion and darkness,
as Ia their wont.

Leavenworth, June 6, 1905.
Editor The Echo.
Today picked up copy of Vol. |,
No. !, of q so-called newspaper, entl-
tied the "Leavenworth Initiative and
Referendum" supposed to be the Off
cial organ of the Initiative and Refer
endum Club of Leavenworth In which
appeared the following article;
A PROTEST.
/ hereby protest against the
course two or three of our citi
zens took in representing to the
county commissioners that the
citizens of Leavenworth wanted
an overhead bridge across the G.
N. tracks near Mr.. F. A. Lose
kamp's store. There is several
tracks at this point and the train
men are busy most of the day
making up trains and of course
the county would be liable for
heavy damages on account of the
trainmen getting injured by rea
son of the supports of the bridge
or by standing on high car and
coming in contact with the
bridge, also there would have to
be bot the ground for the ap
proaches, also they would be un-
slightly.
One street further up there is
a natural place suitable for a
subway, also one block farther
down near Mr.. Turner's house
there is a natural place for sub
way and farther down there is
only two tracks. Now the sub
way would cost the county prac
tically nothing while the over
head crossing would be a contin-
ual bill of expense for the tax
payers to meet.
Now | think matters of this
kind that affect the interest of
all should be transacted in the
broad open light of the day.
1t is time the grating was cut
out. A CITIZEN.
AS the above article is malicious
misrepresentation and distortion of
facts | wish to say few words in re-
gard to the matter if you will permit
me the space.
The author OF the foregoing evidently
was densely ignorant of the facts, or
willfully and maliciously misrepresent-
ed them, and for his benefit, as we'll as
the public in general | will give few
facts in regard to the railroad crossing.
There is no question in regard to the
need of crossing of some kind SO
will not dwell on that subject, bnt
speak in regard TO overhead crossing
In the early part of April petition
was circulated among the residents and
business men of Leavenworth for sig
natures, asking the county commissions
ers to take up the matter of crossing
over the Great Northern tracks in
Leavenworth, and said petition receiv-
ed the signatures OF forty or fifty busi-
ness men and residents of this town
and was presented to the county COM
missioners. The meeting at which the
subject was taken up by the commits
sioners was attended by several of our
most prominent citizens and business
men who went down to Wenatchee for
the sole purpose of urging the neces-
sity of an overhead crossing and re-

President Eliot of Harvard takes
lofty view of the question as to the
amount of salary a man ought TO re
ceiye for good work. According to
him. the best man for any large service
is the man who has such d natural
taste and faculty for that kind of work
that he would take ii and keep it with
out very keen attention TO the size OF
his salary. provided the amount is suf-
ficient to secure for him a suitable
mode of comfortable life and a suita-
bic provision for old age or disability.
We suppose this explains exactly why
President Eliot Is content with salary
of only $4,000 year.

courtesy to some whiskey head and
bum whom other whiskey heads and

And tumble up and down what thou
findest there"

The American says: Senator Car
mack is strong advocate of high
license for the saloons" That way of
stating it is misleading. What the
Senator advocates is high license for
the cities, not for the saloons. He is
in favor of humiliation for the sa-
looms, but for the cities where he be-
lieves the prohibitory law cannot be
enforced, he favors high license. And
when he says high license he means
HIGH license. And he is right about
it. Memphis, dominated as 1t is by
the liquor interest, would not respect
or attempt to enforce a no saloon law;
but a high license law they would be
compelled to enfoAce. The County

The greatness of service is in the

is the life we were made to lead. Any

Another reason why high license Is
better for Memphis than the Adams
