And Still They Come

Another surveying party consisting
of a dozen men arrived Wednesday
night. Bright and early yesterday
morning they liked out up the Chum-
stick valley with a wagon-load of tents,
cots, bedding and baggage, Just what
they are up to no fellow can find out.
Themselves, they are very close
mouthed. One of those other fellows,
one who knows, said they would begin
surveying a railroad up the Chumstick
valley in the direction of Wenatchee
lake and Red Mountain. Is there,
after all, some connection with loco
motive No. 101, which arrived here
two weeks ago? We don't know.

LEAVENWORTH MEN GET BIG JOB
Controct to Put in System of Water.
Works for Cashmere Awarded to
Sutton & Burgett

Frank Sutton has secured the con-
tract to put in the water system for the
town Of Cashmere, having agreed with
the council on all the preliminaries.
All that remains now is for the voters
to approve of the issue of $13, 1000
worth of bonds with which TO finance
the scheme. D. A. Burgett will be as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Sutton in the under
taking.
The contract could not have been
awarded to two men better qualified to
undertake the job. Both gentlemen
are excellent mechanics, have had ex-
perience in this line OF work, and are
thoroughly reliable. That they will
give the town OF Cashmere firstclass
job we feel perfectly confident.

Several Leayenworth Odd Fellows
came to Cashmere last Saturday night
and fraternized with the local lodge.
We were unable to learn the names Of
the visitors and are therefore unable to
publish them. Their coming was a
surprise and not more than half the
members were in attendance, but those
there rose to the emergency and did
the occasion ample justice. After the
initiation of several candidates general
good time was INDUCED in. The Cash
mere lodge is a good live bunch and
can be depended upon to do things
when the opportunity affords. Cash
mere Record.

County Engineer Navarro with a
company of some eight or ten assist
tants is up in the vicinity of Wenatchee
lake doing surveying. Just whose in
terests he is serving we can not find
out. A great air OF mystery surrounds
the different surveying parties at work
in the canyon above town, about the
lake and in the valley of the Chum-
stick. That there will be things doing
in these parts, and that very soon, we
are convinced, but until the promoters
behind the different schemes decide to
to give out definite information We
must perforce be content TO wait. You
can rest assured that from two hundred
to four hundred additional men will
find employment within a few miles OF
Leavenworth this summer, and some OF
them will be employed for from twelve
to eighteen months.

POWER PLANTS UNDER WAY
Men Arrive first of This Week to Begin
Work on the 6. N. Electric
Power Plants

A gang of men went to work the
first of this week to clear the ground
preparatory to the erection Of buildings
to house and feed large force of men
while employed in building the two
dams across the Wenatchee river and
two power houses where the Great
Northern expects to generate the cleo
trio power to operate trains thru the
tunnel.
J. A. Coughren & Son, of Sank
Center, Mimi, have the contract to do
the excavating for the pipe line to
bring the water from the dam to the
power house. We are told that cylin-
der, eight feet in diameter, will be
laid to convey the water.
Our fellow townsman, John Tholin,
is we'll acquainted with the Coughrens,
having formerly worked for the firm
and hailing from the same town.
Robert Herzog, assistant engineer
for the G. N. railway, will be perman-
emily located here to supervise the
construction.

The Fourth of July was quietly OBJ
served by that portion of the popula-
ton that remained here, the larger
part having gone elsewhere-some to
Wenatchee, some up to the Lake, and
great many small picnic parties were
made up to spend the day on the
banks of some stream. The American
flag on numerous business houses and
residences bore evidence Of the pro-
prietors' patriotic spirit. The small
boy, and some large boys, INDUCED in
fire crackers, from the wee bit OF a
snapper to the large cannon cracker,
making enough noise to distract ner-
vous person. Fortunately the day
passed without disturbance Of any
kind, neither was it attended with the
usual loss Of fingers, eyes or other
members Of the human anatomy.

The Quincy Quill has absorbed the
Gazette and next week there will be
but one paper in the town of Quincy.
This is sensible. The town was not
large enough to support two newspa-
pers. To support two was burden on
the business men of the town, and re-
suited in neither of them making a
creditable showing for the town away
from home. One good we'll patronized
paper is cheaper for the community
and makes a much better impression
on people who are looking for a new
location. The Gazette will cease to
exist, while The Quill will make good
the subscriptions and other obligations
of the former paper. Mr.. Shaw, Of The
Quill, promises to enlarge and improve
The Quill at an early date.

Where Shall the Crossing Be Located!

At its last regular meeting
councilman Woldenberg intro
duced a resolution in the council
which was adopted, insructing
the attorney of the town to begin
condemnation proceedings 20
have a grade crossing over the
railroad tracks opened at point
opposite Ninth street, to connect
on the north side of the track
with Summit avenue.
The Echo not only believes
that a grade crossing at a point
where, besides the main line
there are already eight sidetracks,
with three more soon to be add
ed, will be of little value, but
will be positively dangerous to
the public. From experience
no one better than the railroad
company knows the great dam
ger of accident at grade cross
ings in the heart OF a town.
They will use this knowledge to
defeat the establishment Of a
crossing. Both courts and juries
view grade crossings in a thickly
settled community or town with
disfavor. On account of the
fact that they offer no impede
ment to the operation OF trains
and are always open to the use
OF the public, without danger to
either, overhead crossings or sub
ways are vastly superior. Where
practicable the subway is prefer
able because it is absolutely safe
for the public and the railroad
employees and costs less for
maintenance. Then again,
where a crossing is necessary,
as in the case in point, the rail-
way company can give no salts
factory reason why the crossing
should not be granted. Neither
the subway or overhead crossing
would interfere with the OPP
Grafton OF the company's trains
or the use of its property. The
cost is the only matter involved.
1t will only be necessary to make
a showing of the necessity for,
and the practicability OF a SUBJ
way or overhead crossing, and
neither Judge or jury would re-
fuse to grant the prayer OF the
petitioners.
