POWER PLANT ON ICICLF RIVER
WendChee Electric Company Will Extract $1,000 Horse Power

Mystery Activity Expsined-WOrk $500
Horsepower Unit viii Commence this Summer-0ne and
Half liars Spent

Two weeks ago the bulletin issued by
the Chelan Abstract Co. contained an
item to the effect that the Wenatchee
Electric Co. had filed on the water in
Icicle river for power purposes. This
fact together with the fact that in
September and October Of last year
party Of surveyors, some ten or twelve
in the bunch, spent six weeks on the
Icicle river where that stream is joined
by a good sized stream known as Snow
creek. Diligent inquiry failed to dis
close the object Of the activity, but
having heard the name Of Hon. Arthur
Gum, manager Of the Wenatchee Elec-
tric Co. connected with the work the
writer recently interviewed that gentle
man with the result that he gave out
the definite information that his com
pany had filed on all the water in the
Icicle river and its tributaries for the

purpose Of developing electrical energy.
Competent engineers who have gone
over the ground pronounce the stream,
on account of its rapid fall, an excellent
site for developing power. 1t is the
purpose Of the company to develop an
aggregate Of $4,000 horse power.
Work on the first unit, which is to pro-
duce $500 horse power will commence
this summer and means that many
thousands of dollars will be paid out
and find their way into the Golfers OF
Leavenworth people. The Icicle river
joins the Wenatchee less than a mile
from town, and the Snow creek power
plant will be some three miles from
Leavenworth. To approach the Icicle
river from any other quarter than Leav-
enworth will become possible when
aerial navigation is become an accom-
pished fact.

Late last evening Chief Of Police
Ferguson wore a worried look and
when asked as to the cause, stated that
he was trying to figure out just where
he could put the prisoners should any
more arrests be made. Accommoda-
tons at the bastile had all been spoken
for, and the chief was in a dilemma.
When asked as to the reason for the
large number of arrests made the past
few days the chief stated that it was
probably due to the fact that as warm
weather approaches the 'boes'' come
north, and as most OF the parties arrest
ed were strangers here they were prob
ably members of that free and easy fra
ternity and had dropped off at Wenat-
chez for a little sociability. World.
Inasmuch as the Leayenworth jail is
empty, and liable to continue that way
comparatively, we would suggest leas-
ing it to Wenatchee until that town
can enlarge her city hotep' accommo-
dations to the needful requirements.

COUNO|LMEN FORFEIT OFFICE
FOR Selling Goods to the City - Found
Guilty of WiIfuI Violation
of the Statutes

The following from the Spokesman
Review of last Saturday is reprinted for
the edifcation Of the mayor and town
council of this place:
In the case of the state exrel. w. D.
Schutt, prosecuting attorney, VS.. A. P.
Gray and Robert Gerry, councilmen Of
Pasco, Wash, an action instituted in
the nature OF quo warranto to oust the
two councilmen for selling goods to the
city of Pasco, in the aggregate sum Of
81, was decided today by Judge Zent
of the superior court, who holds that
the councilmen should be ousted and
their office be declared vacant.
At the trial Of the actions the evi-
dence showed that the city marshal had
phoned TO Councilman Gray, who is a
merchant, for four quilts to be used in
the city Jail and that the order was
taken by some clerk in the store and
the goods delivered; that the bill was
made up and presented to the council
and was allowed in the ordinary course
of business for the sum Of IS.
In the case Of Gerry, also a mer-
chant, it was shown that the marshal
telephoned for a certain quantity OF
coal oil to be used in an oil burner in
the chemical engine house, to prevent
the chemical apparatus from freezing,
that the order was filled by some clerk,
and the bill was afterward presented
for $3.65.
The court found that these acts were
willful violations and come within the
statute prohibiting the entering into
contract by the councilmen with the
city, and within that provision Of the
statute making "a willful violation
thereof a cause for removal" "

OBEY LAW OR LOSE LICENSE
City Council May Revoke Saloon Privilege
Without Returning Any Part
of the License fee

The supreme court Of the state Of
Washington has just handed down a
decision in a case involving forfeited
liquor license, which goes a long way
toward deciding the questions at issue
in the case now pending between the
town council Of Chelan and Josh Clary.
The decision is as follows:
when a saloon keeper is convicted
OF selling liquor to minor city coun-
Gil has the right to revoke his license
and retain the excess license money
paid for the issuance Of a liquor license.
The appeal was made by Arnold Krue-
ger in a suit against the town of Col
vile for the return Of $625 license
money"
Kruger received a license on April
1st, paying $3.50 for it. He was fined
for selling liquor to minor, and the
city council revoked his license in
July. He asked for the return of the
license money and the lower court sus-
tanned a general demurrer to the com
plant interposed by the town. Kruger
appealed on the ground that to retain
his license money was in violation of
the constitution, as it gave the city the
right to take his property without due
process of law. The supreme court
upheld the jugdment of the lower
court.
This case is a little different from
the Chelan case in that Kruger S
offense was violation Of the state law
while Clny's license was revoked on
the strength Of evidence presented at
a hearing before the council.

The original John Miller homestead
near Wenatchee, recently sold of in
small tracts, was appraised twelve years
ago at $2,015.10. Philip Miller after
wards purchased portion of this land

$1,000 to $500 per acre. Some of it

The farmers of Waterville have or
ganized a pool and sold their wheat at

were sold at one time. A number OF
farmers sold last week at II cents.
The pool raised this figure three cents
and the proposition was accepted. The
great bulk OF the wheat OF the Big
Bend was sold last fall at 90 and So

and fired. Another shot soon followed
from his rife, but for some reason took
no effect. The gun failed to work

no holds barred, with a wounded bear
was not an enjoyable one, so Slime

A quit claim deed filed in the Sno-
homish county auditor Office Saturday,
conveying 240 acres in the very heart
OF the city of Everett and including a
large portion of the busiest business
section OF Hewitt avenue, is the pos
sible forerunner Of extensive and ex-
pensive litigation. The grantor is
George Fowler, son and heir Of J. D.
Fowler, one of the county's earliest
pioneers and one OF the founders of the
town Of Mukilteo. Alexander Spithill,
better known as Harry" of Marysville,
another pioneer, is the grantee, and
the consideration named is 81. The
deed rests upon supposed defects in
titles as now recorded. Attorneys and
makers of abstracts have for several
years been aware of the situation, but
no particular attention has been paid to
the matter either by the townsite owners
or by subsequent purchasers of lots in
the tract involved, which comprises a
district extending half a mile east of
Rockefeller avenne and half a mile
north Of Wall street, with 80 acres on
the south side of Wall. This tract,
which in 1890 was purchased by two
of the founders of the city for less than
$1,000, is today valued at more than
$1,000,000.
