able to find time this week to con-
slider the question of the tenure Of the
present occupant of the office of state
fire marshal. 1t has been noted as a
point in favor of Creamer's retention
that the fire marshal law requires"
the marshal to appoint his subordi-
mates. This expression occurs in no
other appointing law, and was de-
signed to make the Office independent

WHY NOT A PUBLIC PARK,

The necessity for some kind of
place for recreation becomes
,distressingly and strikingly cyl
dent every summer. Last sum-
.mer when we had our Fourth of
July celebration some forty or
fifty dollars of the money that
was raised to defray the ex-
penses of the celebration was
spent in preparing the ground.
The summer before even a
larger amount was spent in pre-
pairing the ground for the base
ball games. If these amounts
had been spent on improvements
An a town park we would have
something to show for it, The
town needs something of this
kind and should acquire suit
able piece of ground while it can
yet be had for reasonable
price,
The gun club will want place
TO meet for practice, the base
ball enthusiasts will want to get
on the diamond as soon as warm
weather comes, then occasion
ally we want to hold a Fourth of
July or some other kind of cele-
bration or gathering which the
town will want to attend, for
which the park would be useful,
not to mention the fact that it
you'd be an ornament to the
town.
The twelve acres of ground on
which the school house stands,
and which is to be sold is most
ideal place for a town park. 1t
is a high, dry and slightly loca-
ton. Close in, a more suitable
location could not be found.
Think of this, fellow citizens,
and let the people of the town
take some action whereby this
site can be secured for q town
park.

Judge Taylors court has been un-
usually busy grinding out justice this
week. Two cases were up for consid-
Grafton on Wednesday. One for
burglary and one petty larceny case.
County Attorney Grass came up from
the county seat Tuesday night to at
tend to the states interests. Dan Ma
son, an Indian, was charged with en-
tering Indian Lizzie's home near Pc
shastin, one day last week with unlawful
and burglarious intent. He was bound
over on Wednesday to wait the action
of the Superior Court 1t appears that
Dan had pugnacious as we'll as burg
larious intentions in entering Lizzie's
castle, as he proceeded to administer
corporal punishment to several in
mates.
An investigate disclosed the fact
that Dan made felonious assault upon
Lizzie, and he was put under bond to
wait the action of the superior court
under charge OF attempt to rape.
Ed Ross, who has been around here
for the past month and for time
worked at the mill, but lately worked
for Miss Name Slater, stole gold ring
and soma six or eight dollars in money
from Miss Slater last Tuesday. He
was arrested the same day and found
with the ring The money could not
be identified, and he was charged with
petty larceny, to which charge he p cad
guilty last Wednesday. Justice Taylor
placed his me at $1,000 and costs He
was taken to Wenatchee the same
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Teshera
and placed in jail.

NEW SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

An election will be held at the
public school building on Satur,
day, March Sd, to elect three
school directors. One will hold
office for one year, one for two
years and one for three years.
At this same election the
proposition will also be sub
mitted to bond this school dis
trict for ten thousand dollars
with WHICH to build new school
house.
The two questions are of
enough Importance to interest
every voter in the district and
cause him to quiz his affairs long
enough to go to the polls to vote.
If the bond proposition car
ries, as the unanimous action at
the meeting of last Saturday
night would indicate, the added
responsibilities which will at
tach to the office of school direc-
tor for the next two years are
such that the greatest care
should be exercised in their
selection. Men should be Sc
lected that will give the affairs
of the school district as much
and as careful consideration as
they would their own. Their is
no salary attached to the office,
but it is presumed that the men
W 10 are honored with the confid-
ence of their fellow citizens and
made the guardians of so sacred
o trust as the welfare of our
children, will discharge that
duty to the best of their ability,
honestly and conscientiously.
1t is up to tha voters to go to
the polls and select men that
have an interest in the advance
ment of our public school and
the upbuilding Of the commun.

Growth of Forestry In Seven Years.

.TrOWCu Oh Forestry III 6eVeu tdEbs
The annual report Of the secretary OF
agriculture, just published, presents
striking resume of the growth of for
estry in the past seven years and Of the
part in this growth which has been
taken by the forest service, which was
transferred to the department Of agri-
there were in the whole country less
than ten professional foresters. Now
the government service alone employs
1873 professional trained foresters.
Field work is now carried on in TWEEN.
ty-seven states and territories, and
over 100000 acres Of private forests
are under management, recommended
by the bureau, and applications have
been filed by owners to place 100000
acres more under professional manage
ment.
Writing of the conditions when the
bureau of forestry began work, in 1898,
the secretary says:
A time had come which presented at once
a great opportunity and dangerous cri-
sis. Forest destruction had reached
point where sagacious men-most or all,
sagacious lumbermen-could plainly dis
Germ the not distant end. The lumber in
dustry, vital to the nation at large, was
rushing to its own extinction, yet with
no avenue of escape apparent, until forest
management for future crops should be
forced by famine prices. Meanwhile,
however, the ruin would have been
wrought already.
Timber land owners were selling their
holdings or their stumpage with little evil
dence of an understanding of their future
value, and lumbermen were compelled by
business competition to keep down the
cost of operation to the lowest terms or
market their product at a loss.
That the whole situation is profoundly
altered Is directly and chiefly due to the
work of the forest service. With Its Of
fer of practical assistance to forest own
ers made In the fall of 1885, its field of
action shifted from the desk to the woods.
Public opinion upon the subject of
forestry improvement has undergone
a marked change in the past seven
years. Many states have enacted laws
and entered upon a well considered for
estry policy.
Forestry is a matter of immediate
interest to every household in the land.
Forest destruction is no imaginary
danger of distant future. If it is not
speedily checked its effects will sooner
or later be felt in every industry and
every home. To make these facts
known is national duty. The work
of education should continue until pub
lie opinion will not tolerate waste or
injudicious laws.

FROM RED MOUNTAIN TO WE
NATCHEE.

The Cashmere Commercial
Club has started a movement to
build an electric line connecting
Wenatchee, Cashmere and
Leavenworth, and a dispatch in
the Seattle papers states that
the movement has attracted the
attention of a number of outside
people who are ready to finance
the scheme. The Secretary of
the Cashmere Club has received
a number of letters from par ties
abroad who "want to know" as
the fellow in one of Dickens
novels did who went to the cir
cumlocution office. There is no
question but that in a compare
lively short time a road of this
character would build up good
freight and passenger traffic.
1t would not have to depend
solely on the traffic between the
towns. The Wenatchee river
valley between this point and
Wenatchee is already pretty
thickly settled, and in the next
two years we expect to see every
foot of available land between
here and the mouth of the river
under cultivation. Most of it
will be set to fruit and what is
not put to orchard use will be
cultivated in gardens and sown
to meadows. The amount of
traffic that would develop from
this would simply be immense.
Should this proposition be un-
dertaken the building of line
from here to the Red Mountain
mining district would follow as
night follows day, to accommo-
date the travel to that rapidly
developing and rich mining Sec
ton. 1t would also open a direct
way to Lake Wenatchee and the
White river valley, as the line
would pass within a few miles
of the foot of the lake. The
people who are now living in
the state of Washington will see
such a change within the next
few years as they never dreamed
of. The lack of settlement in a
promising section of country,
such as this, which is known to
be productive, and only lacks
transportation facilities to rapid
ly develop it's resources, will be
undertaken because the cost of
securing the right of way is so
much less than in a thickly set
tied county. In an old and
thickly settled section the cost
of securing a right of way to
build a road OF any kind is very
large proportion of it's total cost.
Therefore we would not be sur
prised to see an electric road
built from Wenatchee to Leaven-
worth; and from Leavenworth
to the Red mountain, in the next
three years. There is enough
energy going to waste right here
at the mill company's dam to
operate such a road, or even
one twice as long. The power
is already harnessed. All that
is necessary is to make the con-
nection.
