Condemnation Suits Are Started to
Get Rights on Stream.

Chelan, Wash.-F. II. Brownell Of
the Everett law firm of Brownell q
Coleman has served papers in a con-
demnation proceeding against several
riparian owners along the Chelan river
between here and Chelan falls. The
action is brought in the name OF the
Chelan Electric company, the corpora
ton recently organized in Everett, Of
which J. T. McChesney is president.
Some of the land involved is situated
within the corporate limits Of the
town of Chelan.
The petition states that 1t Is neces-
sary for the company to acquire all OF
the power in the Chelan river, and for
this reason it will need the riparian
rights before mentioned. A large dam
will be erected some distance below
town and the water raised to the line
of high water on Lake Chelan.
This power is to be used 10 develop
electric power for the operation of an
electric railroad from the town of We
natchee, with a branch to Lake Che
Ian, and up the Ukanogan river to the
northern boundary of the state. The
power will also be utilized N supply
ing the town of Chelan with electric
lights and water and in lighting the
towns OF Wenatchee, Waterville, Oron-
do, Brewster and points along the
Columbia river. The power will fur
Their be used to pump water for irri-
eating purposes from the columbia
river along that stream. The petit
toner states that it further expects to
use the power for the purpose of oper-
ating the line of the Great Northern
from Wenatchee to Seattle. distance
of 16O miles, and for lighting the vari-
GUS towns along the way.
The Chelan Electric company has
already acquired the riparian rights of
number of land owners along the
river, but could not come to terms
witn others. The company recently
purchased the holdings Of the Chelan
Water Power company, including the
electric light plant and waterworks,
and, so far as the members of that
company are concerned, the suit is a
friendly one.

grandstand were sold for that night
four days before the fair opened.
Many more horses are on the ground
and they are faster animals than ever
before came to Spokane. The racing
is podular and excellent time is being
riade. The open betting ring is fea-
ture which pleases the sportsmen.
Among the many organizations that
will entertain visiting members during
the Interstate fair at Spokane is the
Spanish American War Veterans. They
have planned an elaborate smoker for
Thursday evening Oct. 4th at their hall
8109 Riverside avenue. All men hav-
ing seen service are invited to attend.
A royal good time is promised the visi-
tors by the 242 men comprising Gener-
al Charles King Camp of Spanish War
