incidentally any other public servant

example would have been worth the
cost and the effect on the republican
voters would have been of more worth
to the republican party in the future
than to ask them to resign under a

that they would not be prosecuted. If

them for their wrong doing, the repub-

Will leavenwOrth Have Another Road /!

Rumors have reached the ears OF the
editor of The Echo from several sources
the past ten days of another railroad
for Leavenworth. One day the past
week gentleman who had just re-
turned from Gle Elum, Kittitas county,
reported that he was told while in that
town that railroad was being surveyed
from that point to Leavenworth by way
of Blewett. Yesterday, in conversation
with Seattle business man who was
spending few days here, he said that
he had heard talk of similar nature
in Seattle and Tacoma.
At first thought this seemed quite
improbable, but when the object of
such road was explained it looked
reasonable enough. Listen
At the present time the Great North
ern is hauling its coal from Crows
Nest, B. c., over five hundred miles.
Up to last fall all the coal used on
this division, except that used to draw
trains thru the Cascade tunnel, came
from Sancoule, Montana, but the coal
vein at that point has pinched out. The
object, then, of building to Gle Elum
is to put the Great Northern in touch
with coal supply. 1t is well known
fact that the largest and best coal in
the state of Washington lies in Kittitas
county. Whether the Great Northern
owns coal land in the Kittitas vallay we
are not informed, but by building a
line about fifty miles long the road
would be in close touch with an abun-
dant supply of good quality of coal.
Coal is an absolute necessity in the OPP
Grafton of railway, and cheap coal Of
good quality is very much desired.
The cost of building the fifty miles
would be somewhat expensive, as the
line would have to cross a spur of the
main range of the Cascade mountains
at an elevation of some $500 feet, I'M
less a tunnel be bored. With the ex-
ception, however, of twenty miles the
balance of the line would offer no
great obstacle and would not be very
expensive to build.
What do you think, men of Leaven-
worth, OF another railroad with this as
its terminus? Looks pretty good.

lived here any length Of time. One
citizen went SO far as to say that the
removal of the division from Leaven-
worth would be good thing for the
town, for then the people would begin
to realize that they could not depend
upon the railroad to keep the town
alive and would go to work to develop
the surrounding country. He stated
that if every acre of tillable land within
three miles of Leavenworth was made
to bear a thousand dollars worth of ap-
Piles every year the town would be
much better off than it is today. But
have you ever thought of how much
better off it would be if we had five
thousand acres of bearing orchard and
kept the division too? The railroad
company will be much less likely to
move the division after we have town
of five thousand inhabitants, the sur
rounding country highly developed and
expensive shipping facilities built up
to take care of the freight and passen-
ger traffic. What do you think abou,
it, you who have business and real es-
tate interests in Leavenworth?
