Small Potatoes Only Three in a Hill

The Quincy Gazette says the COM
missioners of Douglas county voted
FIVE dollars to each of the four men
who captured the Ephrata bank robbers
some six weeks ago.
This kind of niggardly acknowledge
ment for dangerous work in the inter
est of law and order is likely to act as
a deterrent in the future. 1t would
have been infinitely better had the
Douglas county commissioners taken
the high ground that the four men who
captured the Ephrata bank robbers
were not entitled to any reward at all,
inasmuch as it was their duty as good
citizens to aid in the enforcement Of
the laws. But when the court put it
self on record by acknowledging a Pc
cuniary obligation and ordered a five
dollar county warrant issued to each of
the four men who risked their lives in
capturing the desperadoes, it simply
made itself the object Of every mans
scorn and contempt. The brave men
who captured the robbers did perfectly
right in refusing to accept a sum so
entirely out of proportion to the service
rendered. The public will hold them
in higher esteem for it. To have
cheapened themselves by accepting so
insignificant sum would have created
the impression that they were of mean,
low spirit.
The public would have had more re-
spect for the Douglas county commits
sioners if they had refused to give one
cent.

We Must Have a Crossing

Here is town with a population Of
over twelve hundred, one third on the
north side of the the Great Northern
Railways tracks and the other two
thirds on the south side and not so
much as one crossing within the cor
porate limits, distance of nearly one
and half miles, with from three to
seven railroad tracks covering the en-
tire distance, constantly blocked with
cars.
The railroad officials have been re-
requested to give the people cross
ing A subway west of the depot,
near the cement culvert is entirely
practicable, and would not interfere with
traffic, would be perfectly safe for the
public, would never be closed and
would not be so expensive, when re-
pairs are taken into consideration. An
overhead crossing on the hill east OF
Ninth street, for pedestrians is not only
practicable but comparatively inexpen-
sive.
These two crossings are necessary
and would be entirely satisfactory to
the people of Leavenworth.
We ask for these crossings, not as
favor, but as a simple matter OF justice
and right. The people are entitled to
these conveniences. They must have
them Respectful representation with
a plain statement OF the condition and
the urgent need for the crossings
having failed to make an impression
on the officials of the Great Northern
railway, resort must be had to the
courts, where with cause that is OBJ
viously right and just the people must
win.
The demand is reasonable, the cross
ings are perfectly practicable and will
in no way interfere with the traffic OF
the company or the welfare OF its
employees, while the cost is entirely
within the bounds of reason.

The spread of diptheria to a logging
camp, caused as we are reliably in
formed, by man deliberately violating
quarantine rules, deserves to be, and
the officers should see that it is, dealt
with in way that would deter others
from violating the law in the future.
One or two convictions, with adequate
penalty, would teach wholesome les
son. Some men must feel the weight
of the hand OF the law before they will
be convinced that it is cheaper to obey
it. At least four men are sufferers as a
result of one mans transgression.

CHfLAN'S NEW GOLD DISCOVERY
Recent Developments Encourage PrOspec'
tors in Going Deeper

The new gold field continues more
promising with each days develop
ment. The II told you SOS" are still
standing in the background and have
had no opportunity as yet to put in a
word.
S.. Fourtner, who located the first
claim, and who has had several men at
work on his property during the past
two or three weeks, came in from camp
last Saturday with showing of gold
bearing rock and of washed gold taken
from the dirt in the ledge that would
make Klondiker or Cripple Creek
mine owner turn green with envy. The
Leader stated last week that the miners
in making an open cut on the surface
of this claim had exposed several prom
ising leads, but had not sunk on any of
them. Since then they have drifted
ten or fifteen feet on what seemed the
most promising, and with remarkable
results. The lead presented an expos
ure of but seven inches on the surface.
At depth of seven feet it had widened
to five and one-half feet. The ledge
is we'll defined, with both hanging and
foot walls, the former OF mica schist
and the latter of granite. Between the
hanging wall and the lode is selvage
several inches thick which is rich in
free gold. Mr.. Fourtner has gone over
to Edmonds for few days, but will re-
turn about the first of June and will
then take up the development work on
a large scale.
Last Friday and Saturday L. N. Per
shall, while making an open cut to ex-
pose the ledge of rich ore which he
had discovered the week before, un-
covered quartz which is richer in the
precious metal even than that reported
last week. On Tuesday he and M. M.
Kingman had lumber hauled over to
their claim. They are putting up
house and will push development work
forward as rapidly as possible.
Other locators are doing more or less
work on their claims, but up to date no
other strikes as rich as the two men
toned above have been made, altho
much ore OF milling value has been
found. -Chelan Leader.

NATIONAL FOREST SUPERVISOR
Inspects Tumwater Canyon for Electric
Power Plants and Right of
Way for Power Line

Mr.. D. B. Shellar, United States
Forest Supervisor for this district, was a
visitor to our town last Friday and a
pleasant caller at this office. Mr.. Shell
lar is we'll posted on all matters relating
to the national forest. He is a most
enthusiastic supporter OF the policy Of
our forest administration, and conscien-
tious in the discharge of his duties.
He says the policy of the government
is liberal and fair in dealing with the
people. Among other things he said
that every citizen is entitled to $40
worth of wood every year for fuel pur-
poses. All you have to do is to ask
some man connected with the depart
ment to designate the timber you may
remove. If we are correctly informed
you may use for this purpose fully ma
tured growing and standing dead tim
Der, and any down timber.
1t is also the policy of the govern
ment to allow the use Of the forest
lands for grazing purposes. Sheep
growers who have occupied the range
in the past will be given the preference
over those coming later or those com
ing from distant sections.
Mr.. Shellar was here for the purpose
OF going over, cruising and making a
report to the government on the appli-
cation OF the Great Northern railway for
the right to erect two electric power
plants on the Wenatchee river west of
Leavenworth, and the use of a 100-foot
right OF way from the power plants to
the Cascade tunnel.

What supports this town." is question that visitors
and travellers often ask. AS it may not be apparent TO
casual observer the question briefly and ruthuly
swered follows

Spokane and % from Wenachee the head of the great
Wenatchee Valley famous for its large red appes-is
Of the important division points the G. N system,
employing less than 800 and sometimes 400 men.
On account of the railway Improvements going the past
year, which will likely require another year complete the
latter number is nearly correct.
MANUFACTURING
The Lamb Davis Lumber Co., manufacturers of
white pine lumber boxes, and all other varieties Of native
pine and fir building material has among the largest
and best equipped manufacturing plants in the state
poying constantly from 200 to 800 men.
FRUIT GROWING
The fruit-growing possibilities are beyond question.
The red apples grown in this particular section more
perfect will keep longer have better favor and higher
Color than those grown in any other part of the arfamed
and we'll known Wenatchee Valley. Within the past Is
months los 900 fruit (nearly all apple and cherry
have been within radius Of four miles of Leaven-
WORTH and there is for million Fruit

Vancouver, Wash, has under con-
sideration a opposition to change its
name. The larger and more widely
known city of Vancouver, B. c., over
shadows the Washington town. Then,
too, there is the annoying confusion
and vexatious delay Of having its mail,
freight and express go to the British
Columbia town. For the same reason,
and the additional one that it is too
long, Leavenworth should change its
name.

in regard to railroad crossing, that the
people of this town have against the

DURING the closing hours of the ses

argument with Colby. There never

THE machinery for the election to
decide whether or not the report of
the Morristown Board Of Sewerage
shall be adopted is now provided for.
The boards of registry and election
will meet to revise the registry lists
on Tuesday, April 23rd, from to 9 p.
p M, and any voter desiring to vote
on the project should see that his
name is properly registered. The cleo
tion will be held on April Both, the
polls being open the usual time for
elections. So far as appears there is
no opposition to the sewer idea as a
general proposition, and very little to
the plan proposed 1t is but natural
that there should be a difference Of
opinion in regard to the details and
method of disposal Of sewage matter.
1t is but fair to assume. however, that
when four practical citizens, whose
appointment was generally commend
ed had given careful consideration to
the matter for many months, visited
a considerable number Of plants, con-
suited experts, and carefully studied
all the conditions, the plan as. pre-
sented was as nearly fitted to the local
needs and conditions OF MorriStoWn
as could we'll be devised The princi-
pal objection we hear ia regard to the
scheme is the disposal plan. 1t could
not be expected that disposal beds
could be located any where without
meeting with opposition from persons
residing in the immediate neighbor
hood 1t is 50 in this case and it is
claimed that the effect will be to ruin
the lower part of the town. This, the
commissioners and their advisers say
is an erroneous idea. 1t has been found
to be the general experience of other
towns that the nuisance has not been
anything as great as apprehe1ded be-
forehand, and if disposal plants are
properly cared for there is nothing
detrimental to health. So while it
may be that the immediate neighbour
hood may be Inconvenience by the
conditions it should not weigh against
a plan that will conserve the welfare
and health of thousands in other
parts of the community. The streams
running through the town are now
very much polluted and cannot but be
detrimental to the health of those
living near them. Under the proposed
plan all of this pollution will be taken
out OF the streams and the etfluent
turned into the river below the dis
posal plant will be chemically pure.
1t cannot be that nearly as many per
sons will be Inconvenience by the
proposed system as are jeopardized in
health now from defective sewerage,
odorless exeavators and other make
shifts to dispose of sewage. The plan |
proposed is not a cast-iron one, and |
will doubtless be modified and amend |
ed to suit conditions that may arise
when put into practical operation. |
What we want first is the adoption of
the system, leaving minor matters to
be worked out by sensible men with |
the good of the town at heart.

silane Enr Reef CattIe.

Feeders of beef cattle have always
had prejudice against silage. Re
cent experiments have shown that
steers will make an excellent growth
if fed some rich feed along with corn
silage and will gain quite as fast as
when on good pasture. The dairy type
steer is not so profitable for beef, as
he shows low dressing percentage
and high percentage Of offal. Fat on
the internal organs increases the
weight of the cheaper parts. The beef
steer puts on fat on the higher priced
cuts.
