The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1906-10-05

In the meantime the district
has been enlarged by taking in
the territory lying just across
the Wenatchee river south of the
town which properly belongs to
this district, and to which no OBJ
lection was raised. The prop
erty valuation has increased un
til the valuation in the district
closely approximates double that
of last year, forming the basis of
funds amply sufficient to erect
public school building that will
be a credit to the town and
answer the purpose for years TO
come.
Action should be taken on this
matter so that the preliminary
work can be done this winter
and work on the building begun
in time so that it can be com
pleted for the opening of school
next September.

Two weeks ago The Echo

of the bridge spanning the We
natchee river near this town.
That heed was given to the warn
ing is shown by the action of the
court in session at the county
seat this week. They instructed
Cuunty Surveyor Navarro to
make an examination and if in
his judgment the bridgeis unsafe
he was instructed to condemn
it and post notice warning the
public not to cross on the bridge.
Since making the examination
Mr.. Navarro decided to close it
to public use.
Mr.. Navarro also says the
court is very favorably inclined
to replacing the old wooden
structure with a first class steel
bridge and let the contract at an
early date.
And yet some people say a
newspaper does no good.

MORE SCHOOL ROOM.

for our public school is even
more pressing than it was last
year. The attendance has in
creased materially over the pre-
vious year.

the tax payers of the district last

money to erect building suita-

could not be taken advantage of
for the reason that the assess

enough to put up a suitable
building and the school board
very wisely decided to put off
building for a year.

CLOSING THE BRIDGE.

The notice posted closing the
bridge across the Wenatchee
river east of town the first of the
week, while justified by the con-
dition of the bridge, will work
great hardship on some three
hundred residents who live south
of the river and use the bridge
in coming to town after mail,
supplies, marketing their pro-
ducts and delivering wood. The
next point at which the river can
be crossed is Peshastin, four
miles east of here. On the south
side of the river the road to Pc
shastin is about six miles long,
over a mountain, and not in very
good condition. So that people
who live from a few hundred
yards to two miles will have to
go some ten or eleven miles out
of the way to get to town.
1t is but the simplest act of
justice to these people that the
county commissioners take this
matter up promptly and if the
old bridge is not worth repair
ing arrange to build new bridge
at once.
The old bridge was built by
the people of this town and turn
ed over to the county some six or
seven years ago. 1t is the only
bridge on the Wenatchee river
that was built without expense
to the county.
Do something, Mr. Commits
sioners. the case is very urgent.
Act promptly.

It Is not to be hoped that the uni

king of Italy to convene at Rome In
April after two postponements. due to
the war In the far east, will make any
radical changes in the international
postal system. Like The Hague peace
conference. the postal congress has to
wait for propltious time. When the
first congress was held at Berns Swift
gerland In 1875 there were grave
doubts whether any good could he ac-
complished. since no nation can be
forced to accept any given postal poll
cy for its international mail. The
Berne congress, however inaugurated
many benefcent changes. and progress
has been made at each of the con.
crosses held since, that at Rome being
the sixth. With many tongues repre-
scented in the congress at Rome and
no universal language in vogue, "fa.
cllity and dispatch" in the transaction
of business are not possible But the
delegates and the postal authorities of
the countries represented have been
primed In advance with the ideas and
suggestions to be brought before The
convention. The members meet with
their minds tentatively made up and
with Instructions as to the limit of
what they can accept and concede. One
question that has previously received
attention Is that of an international
postage stamp, and the possibility of
Its adoption at Rome seems to be uni.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1906-10-05
A SAFE CROSSING.

For more,than two years The
Echo has pointed out the neces-
sity for a safe means of crossing
the railroad tracks from the
north to the south side About
one third of the population of
this town is on the north side of
the railroad tracks while the
other two thirds is located on the
south side.
There are two crossings. One
is located a half mile east of the
center of the town and the other
half mile west. Between these
two points there is main line of
track and six sidings. 1t is a
rare occurrence when the sidings
are not covered with cars.
Often even the crossings are
blocked with cars, SO that com
munication with vehicles is at
times entirely shut off. AS for
pedestrians they have to resort
to the dangerous method of pass
ing between the cars or crawl
ing underneath.
The point of greatest incon-
venience and danger is on the
route travelled by the children in
going to the school house from
the south side. On this route
there are three tracks to cross.
The location of the coal chutes
makes it necessary for from fif
teen to twenty engines to pass
from the round house to the coal
supply every day, in addition to
some ten or twelve trains. Dur
ing the school hours not less
than twenty five engines or long
trains of cars cross the path fol
lowed by the school children in
going to or coming from school.
That an accident has not oc
Cured in the past is most for
tunate. That under present con-
ditions, something frightful will
happen has been predicted more
than once. When grown up men
will get caught, as was the case
not more than three months ago,
when a railroad man was run
over and killed in crossing from
one side to the other, what may
not be expected from children.
They are not expected to use the
same caution and judgment as
grown ups.
At the last meeting of the city
council this matter was DISGUST
and the clerk was instructed to
call the attention of the railroad
authorities to the dangerous con-
dition and the probability of &C
cident. In following the legal
course of forcing the railroad
company to make some safe
method of crossing the tracks
the work of the council must
necessarily be slow In calling
the attention of the company to
the matter it was thot that they
would see, not only the great
necessity for crossing but the
liability of the company should
an accident occur.
