Wenatchee Lake Letter

Mr. Editor:
In behalf OF the voters OF Chelan
county, especially this part OF the
county in which we are directly inter
ested, I would like to say few words
in regard to the choice of county COM
missioner. 1t is not matter Of friend
ship or financial relations that should
determine the qualities necessary for a
good man to fill this Office, but rather
experience, good judgement, economy
and man that will not favor one COM
munity more than another. One who
has to use the county roads himself
and will expend the time necessary to
keep the highways in proper repair.
On the other hand if our choice is for
a man whose business is such that he
is not particularly interested in any but
the roads in the immediate vicinity
OF town II is not more than natural Ior
him to see to it that the greater por-
ton OF the county money is spent
where he can make good impression
among his neighbors regardless OF the
outside roads that are generally the
last to be attended to.
We should run down the list Of can
didates until we come to the name OF a
man who has to make long hauls and
who knows how to appreciate good
roads and can sympathize with those
in the different parts Of his district that
are in need of attention. These quail
tiles we may find in Geo. Siverly a
man well known all over our district
and who has acted as road supervisor
during the past season. We are certain
he will give US good service.
Respecting your choice,
D. w. Fowler.

NEWS FROM SEATTLE
The City is Threatened with Bribery
ScandaI-Alaska Gold

A combine of Italians in Seattle has
long had a monopoly OF collecting gar
bage from residences and business
houses. A monthly sum is charged
for the service. A few weeks ago the
city council passed a measure to pro-
vide for the collection OF garbage by
the city. An effort is now being made
by some councilman to have the ac-
ton reconsidered, and last week one Of
the councilmen sprung a sensation by
declaring that he had been offered
$4,000 to fix things SO that the Italians
could continue TO do the work. A big
scandal has been stirred up and it is
impossible to say just what will be re-
vealed as the matter is sifted down.
The organization of the Washington
Logged-off Land Association at Everett
last week is a movement fraught with
much importance to Western Washing
ton. Anyone who attended the con-
vention, which resulted in the organi-
cation of the new body, could not avoid
being impressed with the evident sin
cerity of those present.
The annual report of Calvin E. Villas,
assayer in charge Of the United States
assay Office in Seattle, shows the re-
ceipts of gold at that Office to have
reached $158.60o, ,645.14, since the
inception of the Office at Seattle on
July IS, 1899. Depositors to the num-
Der of 43,063 brought the gold from
Alaska, British Columbia, Yukon terri
tory, and the states OF the West. The
total weight OF the precious metal ex-
ceeded 800 tons. The report covers
the period between July IS, 1898, and
June 80, 1908. The origin of these
deposits is as follows: Nome district,
$32, ,884,7 1867; Tanana, $2l,959,-
267.46. balance OF Alaska, $7,073,-
656.2o; British Columbia, $9,92o,-
91O.oe; Yukon, $84, ,849 ,06S; Wash
ington, Oregon, and other states and
territories, 81, 921,90s.s1. The Brit
ish Columbia assay Office shipments
came largely from Yukon territory.

Protect the Birds

So great is the part played by birds
in disseminating seeds and in protect
ing plants by the destruction of noxious
insects that Mr.. w. H. Henshaw
reaches the somewhat astonishing con-
clusion, says the Youths Companion,
that if all birds were exterminated, not
only would successful agriculture be-
come impossible, but the greater part
Of the vegetation Of the. earth would
eventually be destroyed. A permanent
reduction in the bird population, he
says, could not but have disastrous con
sequences.

CANDIDATES MAY ADVERTISE
Opinion of Attorney General Read at the
State Press Association

At the meeting of the State Press
Association last week in Vancouver a
movement was started in the interest of
newspaper legislation that will have the
support of not only the press of the
state, but Of all fair-minded members of
the Legislature and other public officials.
The meeting of the association was
attended by a number of prominent
men, including the governor, lieuten-
ant governor, attorney general, and
member Of the supreme court, all of
whom took part in the discussions be-
fore the association and offered sugges-
tions that have already borne fruit in a
practical way.
In his address Gov. Meade spoke of
the influence of the press and urged
the editors to advocate law and order
and the highest principles of morality
at all times. Judge Root, of the su-
preme court, who is also president OF
a state charitable organization, made
strong plea for the assistance of the
newspapers in charitable work, organi-
zation and publicity being required, he
said, in order to insure charitable work
being directed along the best lines.
The address of Attorney General At
kinson, which was read by Assistant
Attorney General Knickerbocker, Mr..
Atkinson being absent, was valuable
one for publishers, as it simplifed the
present conflicting provisions of the di-
rect primary law on the subject of ad-
vertising candidates for Office. In
effect the attorney general holds that
newspapers may publish announcement
cards and photographs of candidates,
and charge a reasonable advertising
rate therefor, and that candidates do
not disqualify themselves by paying for
such advertisements.
Among other things the association
demands that laws be enacted requir-
ing the publication of legal notices
which are now only posted, providing
for the publication of insurance COM
pany reports in every county in the
state, and the establishment of a fixed
legal rate. The last named would have
the effect Of doing away with the pres
ent cut-throat bidding for public print
ing and would require the payment Of
a reasonable price for such service, and
would have tendency to award public
printing on the merits Of the newspa-
pers asking for it. The legislative
committee that was appointed will be-
gin work Immediately among the can
didates for the legislature, and newspa-
pers will be requested to refuse to sup
port any candidate who will not sub
scribe to the association resolutions.

CHELAN CON. COPPER co.
Pursuing an Energetic Policy in the DeVel-
Opment of Its Property

Mr.. J. A. Goulden, one of the thirty
six representatives of the state OF New
York in the congress of the United
States, and recently elected president
of the Chelan Consolidated Copper Co.,
arrived here last Friday from Seattle
and the following day made trip to
the mines, some fifty miles from here,
in the Red Mountain district. He re-
turned here Monday and took the
night train for Seattle. In a brief in
terview he stated that the tunnel which
the company is driving into the noun
tain is now in a distance Of 1000 feet
and that men are working night and
day in the tunnel, employing air drills,
and making satisfactory progress. This
work will be continued uninteuuptedly
until the main body of ore is reached,
which has been estimated by compe-
tent mining engineers to be within
5000 feet.
The surface indications show large
body of valuable ore. The tunnel is
being driven for the purpose Of testing
the ore body at a great depth and
should it be found satisfactory the tun-
mel will be amply large for the purpose
of working the mine. The quarters for
the men employed are of a substantial
and commodious character, and large
enough for all purposes. Machinery
and tools of all kinds, together with
blasting powder and table supplies are
now stored at the company's camp.
The work OF development can go on
without a halt. The company, Mr..
Goulden says, has no outstanding debts.
OF our knowledge we can say that
there are no local claims against the
company and we have heard no COM
plant that their employees have not
been paid promptly. The men behind
the enterprise have the means to carry
out their plans. No stock in the COM
pany is offered for sale. In driving the
tunnel, should the hopes OF the pro-
moters of the enterprise be realized,
the property will be worked on large
scale.
From all that we have been able to
learn there is the best of reasons for
believing that an extraordinarily large
and valuable body of ore will be en-
countered in the tunnel at an approx
mate depth of $500 feet.
Harry Krollpfeiffer, a young man
whose father is largely interested in the
property, is the local representative of
the company, and makes frequent trips
between this place and the scene of
work. We cannot close without saying
that in connection with the property
there has been an absence of that noise
and bla1e of trumpets, flaming and mis-
leading newspaper and magazine ad-
vertisement, giving glowing account
of the property and offering stock for
sale. 1t is this class OF wildcat mining
promotion that has done so much harm
to mining in Washington. If the writer
had reason to believe that the enter
prise here spoken OF was of this charac-
ter he would have no hesitation in say
ing so,

Last winter the first below zero

the mercury did not go below zero
but thirteen times, which of itself
is quite a record, the coolest period
being but IA below. We are thus

hope it will end thirty days earlier

another remarkable condition exists,
from the fact that on the 23d the
rain amounted to 1893 inches, which
would ever be counted an excessive
