NIL LWAuKEE READY
TO BUILD EXTENSION
Every Available Man to Be Put to
Work Building Road Over
Cascade Range.

EASTON, April 24.-After five
months of comparative inactivity,
work has been ordered to begin on
the Chicago, Milwaukee, ST. Paul
extension to the coast over the sum-
nit of the Cascades The unusually
heavy and continued fall of snow
has put the contractors more than
one month behind in the seasons
work, and even at this time big
crews will be forced to shovel vast
areas of snow before access can be
obtained for grading purposes.
H. C. Henry, the general contract
or, through C. j. johnson. general
sub-contractor, has ordered all the
available labor to be sent at once to
the high line camps on the west
slope to clear up the camp in prepar-
alton for an immediate opening of
,, active construction.
This high line section, nine miles
long, contains some of the heaviest
construction and excavation work ON
the entire Pacific coast extension,
and will require at least two years
to complete.
The steep grades ,eaching a maxi
mum of two and three-quarters per
cent from the head of Lake Keech-
elias to the summit at an elevation Of
5000 feet, has made these cuts nec-
essary, and will require an army of
men to finish in the short working
season between May and November.
Foremen skilled in picking crews
are in all the sound cities and In
eastern Washington enlisting men for
1.-THE camps. Owing to the demand
for unskilled labor by the govern
ment, railroad and city construction.
the contractors are meeting with but
half-hearted success and forced to
raise the wage scale at many inac-
cessible points to retain the gangs.
In natural beauty the mountain
section far outranks that of the
Northern Pacific or Great oNrthern.

Agitation for the removal of the
U. S. land Office from the village
of Waterville is again rife.
Wenatchee wants the land Office.
She didn't go after it at time
when she might have obtained it by
making the effort, because at that
time she did not care to antagonize
the people of Waterville.
But there are many reasons why
a government institution like the
land Office should occupy central
point in large city, that it now
seems time for Wenatchee to make
a claim for what she is naturally en-
titled to-and get 1T. The CONNER
ciaI club has accordingly taken the
matter up, and steps are being taken
to secure the land Office for Wenat-
Chez If the right forces are set to
work, and the potent reasons why"
in the case brought to the attention
of the proper authorities, there is
no doubt but that the land Office will
come to this city.
The foregoing is the opinion in a
nut shell of Senator Gum, when in
terviewed this morning by World
representative concerning the pro-
posed change in the location of the
land Office.
Among other reasons advanced for
the removal of the land Office to this
place are the following:
The people are tired of having to
seek out and travel to an inland vii
lage like Waterville, with scant
transportation facilities at hand,
whenever they have a few minutes
business with the public land Office.
At the present time it is necessary
for the people of the Okanogan
country to take a Columbia river
steamer down-when the boats run
ning-as far as Orondo; then climb a
rough mountain road for nine miles,
stay all night in small country
town and waste an entire day before
returning.
Quincy folk fare no better when
they are obliged to make pilgrim
age to the land Office. Ephrata and
Wilson Creek are in the same box.

Amend the Registration Law.

Grangeville Free Press: No doubt
the election of a speaker and U. S. SEN
ator are highly engrossing subjects for
the members Of the legislature, and we
hope when these topics are settled that
the members will get down to business
and amend the existing registration
law, and thereby save the taxpayers of
the state several thousand dollars which
is now wasted in registering permanent
resident citizens at every election.
There is city election pending next
April, and under the provisions of the
law every resident taxpayer who de-
sires to vote at the city election is re-
quired to register again. 1t is safe to
say that rs percent of the total voters
of the state are permanent residents of
their respective counties, and there is
no sense or justice in requiring them to
re-register before they can vote at any
election. There should be created a
Great Register in which should be
recorded the names of all permanent
resident citizens who have once regis
tered leaving only the new corners to
register; thereby saving the cities and
counties several thousand dollars of use
less expenditure.
The appropriations for the mainten-
ance of the state government for the
ensuing two years should also be sub
jected to rigid scrutiny, and the estab-
lishment of new state institutions anc
new Offices suspended for awhile. In
the past two years the taxpayers Of
Idaho county have contributed SIG, DOC
more to the support of the state tseas-
ury than in any preceding years. The
people will be satisfied with nothing less
than radical retrenchment in state
affairs. The creation of new offices
new institutions, and new bonded indebt
edness should be stopped during the
present session of the legislature, ant
