NO TRAINS RUN ON SUNDAY LOSES PART OF HIS ROLL
Go Through His Clothes aud Take $500
but Leave $3.50

Two men arrived here last Sunday
from Seattle, both giving the name Of
H. l. Smith. No relation, and neither
had ever met the other until they got
on the train at Seattle Sunday morning.
Smith No. l started to Leavenworth,
according to his story to 60 to work in
a logging camp up in the Chumstick
valley. He drew about 500 out OF
the bank Saturday, money that he had
saved while in the U. S. navy, from
which he was recently discharged.
Sunday afternoon the two Smiths took
in the town and also took some drinks,
Smith No. 2 getting tolerably drunk.
No. / claims that he did not drink
much. Some time during the night
they retired to room in the Washing
ton rooming house. Smith No. l left
his pants, with buckskin purse con-
tanning $3.50 in gold, on chair, and
placing his vest with the package Of
notes amounting to $500. just as it
came from the bank, under his pillow.
In the morning Smith No. 2, who ad-
mits being full OF booze the previous
night, arose first and left Smith No. l
in bed. After a while Smith No. l
also got up and taking stock Of his be-
longings found that a hundred-dollar
bill and four fifties had been withdrawn
from the roll he had in the vest. The
gold was all right. The writer was
present when the two Smiths conferred
with an officer and exhibited the gold
and remainder Of the $500. The Off
Ger searched Smith No. at his re-
quest and also made an Intellectual
search Of the hotel.
Smith No. left Monday for Seattle
in the hope Of getting some trace Of
his missing $500. He did not suspect
his new found namesake Of taking his
money, nor did he seem to think that
it was taken in the hotel.

THE GREAT NORTHERN POWER PLANT
Two and One Half Miles Of Pipe Line Almost Completed
Only rs feet of TunneIng to be Done
WORK DAY AND NIGHT ON POWER HOUSE
More Than Three Hundred Men Still Employed Going on Day
and Night-WlI Not be Completed Until Late this Fall

A visit to the site of the Great
Northern Railway company's million
dollar electric power plant four miles
up the canyon last Saturday showed
that an enormous amount of work had
been done since the writer visited the
work last fall. With the exception of
some IS feet in the tunnel and the
bridge across the Wenatchee river, the
bed or grade for the eight foot diameter
pipe line is complete. By the middle
of April the tunnel will be complete.
Thirty men and three donkey engines
are now employed in erecting the i'm
mense steel bridge which will bring
the pipe from the south to the north
side OF the river, where the water will
be delivered in the power house. The
concrete piers for the bridge were
completed last fall.
For the past six weeks some fifty
men and three donkey engines have
been employed on the foundations of
the power house. The foundations
began several feet below the bed Of
the river, and as the water has been
rising for the past month the work was
rushed to get above the possible rise
in the river. 1t has so far progressed
at the present time that it is not be-
lieved that high water can now inter
fere with the completion of the work.

Last Sunday the S. r. & N Ceased Running
Trains-The Wilson Creek Local
Also Taken Off

Beginning last Sunday the running
of trains on the Spokane Falls & Nor
thern, a branch line of the Great Nor
thern, ceased. The Sunday local
passenger on the main line between
Wilson Creek and Bonners Ferry
Idaho, was also discontinued on the
same day.
1t is given out by representatives oi
the Great Northern that the decision
was made on account of the light travel
on that day. The matter has been
under consideration for some time,
and the conclusion to put on the lid.
was arrived at as a result of trip over
the western district of the Great Nor
thern made by w. w. Broughton,
general traffic manager, and other Of
ficials Of the road recently.
Under the new management passen-
gers leaving for Nelson, B. c., at 1925
Saturdays will not be able to get back
to Spokane until $40 Monday alter
noon. Those making the round trip
on the Marcus local, leaving Spokane
at 4:30 p. m. will get back at o:45
Monday morning.
1t is said that while the trainmen on
the S. F. & N division will welcome
the Sunday rest as they are paid by the
month and there earnings will not be
decreased, the people along the line
will make strong objections to the
change. The hotel people have beer
making preparations for the Sunday
excursionists from Spokane during the
summer, and the announcement thai
no trains will be run on that day put:
an end to all their calculations.
The Bonners Ferry local leaving
Spokane at $40 Saturday will arrive OF
its return at 10 a. m. Monday. The
Wilson Creek local leaving Spokane a
$50 will get back to Spokone at II
a. m. Monda.

WILL MOVE OFFICE HERE
National Forest Headquarters VIII be
Moved to Leavenworth

The Echo acknowledges a very
pleasant call from ChaS. H. Flory who
succeeded D. B. Shellar as supervisor
Of this national forest district. Mr..
Flory told US that his Office would be
moved from Wenatchee to this place
as soon as suitable quarters could be
secured. He will also make his home
here and for this purpose would like
to rent furnished house until he can
determine whether he will be per
manently stationed here. Consider
able importance is attached to the
establishment OF the headquarters al
this place. There will at all times be
from three to six assistants connected
with the office, and in the summer
time, while trails are being built ano
other work in connection with the pres
ervation of the forest is going on ac
lively, thousands of dollars will be paic
out for labor and supplies. Much,
not all, of this will find its way into thu
channels of trade in Leavenworth.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-03-27

1t will, however, require two months to
complete the foundation. Then will
come the superstructure also to be
built of concrete, when the electrical
machinery can be placed in position.
The work at the head-gate is also
making satisfactory progress. The
dam, several hundred feet Of which is
completed, is, like the power house,
built Of concrete. At present the
workmen are engaged in erecting a
temporary dam to divert the water
thru the finished part so that work may
be begun on the eastern portion of the
wall, where also the log sluice and fish
ladder will be located. The dam is
not straight but is built at three angles
from the streem.
The entire work is under the direc-
ton Of Robert Herzog, graduate of a
Swiss polytechnical college, with much
experience in electrical engineering.
Mr.. Herzog has spent almost two years
on this work, first in taking measure
ments of the water flow at different
seasons Of the year, then in locating
the dam, the pipe line, and the power
house site.
1t is not likely under favorable cir
cumstances that the plant can be COM
pleted before the first OF September,
or even later.
