[EAvEkWORTH MAY
HAVE NEW ROAD

Rumors have reached the ears of
the editor of the Echo from several
sources the past ten days of another
railroad from LeavenwOrth, says the
Leavenworth Echo. One day the
past week a gentleman who had just
returned 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 Sc
attic business man who was spending
few days here, he said that he had
heard talk of similar nature in Sc
attic and Tacoma.
At first thought this seems quite
improbable, but when the object Of
such a road was explained it looked
reasonable enough. Listen!
At the present time the Great
Northern is hauling its coal from
Crows Nest, B. c., over 500 miles.
Up to last fall all the coal used
on this division. except that used to
draw trains through the Cascade
tunnel, came from Sancoule, Mon
tana, 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 a well known fact that
the largest and best coal in the state
of Washington lies in Kittitas coun-
tty. Whether the Great Northern
owns coal land in the iKttitas valley
we are not informed, but by building
a line about SO miles long the road
would be in close touch with an album
iant supply of a good quality of coal
Coal is an absolute necessity in the
operation of a railway and cheap Goa
of good quality is very much desired
The cost of building the so miles Of
road would be somewhat expensive
as the line would have to cross spul
of the main range of the Cascade
mountains at an elevation of some
$500 feet, unless tunnel be bored
With the exception, however, of 2(
miles the balance of the line would
offer no great obstacle and would moi
be very expensive to build.

'OLDE[EPHANTW|TH
NORRIS ( ROWE
CIRCUS COMING HERE NEXT
CLAIMS TO HAVE IN PRINCESS
MOST AGED PACHYDERM IN
CAPTIVITY.

If the theory were a fact that an
elephant can remember things al
ways, Princess, one of the newly ac-
CURED elephants of the Greater Nor
ris & Rowe circus, which is here
Tuesday, could tell remarkable his
tory, were it possible for her to talk.
That elephants have an extraoriin-
airy memory, is undoubtedly true, but
too much credence can not be put in
the statement.
Princess is without a question OF
doubt, the oldest elephant in this
country, or in captivity, for that mat
ter. That she was a fully matured
beast when George Washington was
a boy can be proved by the records of
lsale and transfers of the huge speci
men of the genus pachyderm. Prin-
cess ambles along gingerly and seems
to take as much interest in peanuts,
popcorn and the dainty CONNECTIONS
that the general public thrust upon
her as any member of the big herd
of elephants with the circus. That
she knows nothing about dyspepsia or
indigestion is evident when she can
easily devour all the sweetmeats that
are presented to her and then calm
ly enter upon the task of ievouring
a half ton of hay each day.
The old elephant looks as if she
were good for at least 100 years to
come. for aside from the fact that
she is little more wrinkled and her
skin little more thickly placed about
the back, she does not look much
older than some of the other ele-
plants with the big circus whose
age does not exceed SO or 70 years.
Princess attracted considerable at
tention from the public during the
run of the Greater Norris & Rowe
circus in San Francisco this spring.
OF the 29,873 persons who paid adj
mission to the big circus during it's
80 days engagement, it is safe to say
that every one of them either fed
Princess a peanut or placed their
hands upon her for good luck. Prin-
cess will not be seen in the big street
parade. but the other children-the
young elephants which number IA,
will have to show themselves in the
street demonstration, which will take
place at 10 o'clock

lift the supercilious eyebrow at the
romances of Augusta Evans. The
hero of est Elmo" probably the
most widely read of them all, has
been described as "the most offensive
prig in fiction" and with some JUS

However, if her men are apt to be
too perfect, or the reverse, her wo-

There is also in her books learn
ing whose reality is not lessened by
the parade made of it by the char
acters to which it is ascribed, and an
earnestness of thought and splen'
dor of diction which fit the acton
and the personages. By the sophis

are apt to be derided, but they ap-

NEW CIGARETTE
LAW FIERCE
POSSESSION OF THE Markings
BY ANYONE WILL BE A MIS-
DEMEANOR AFTER THE 18TH
OF JUNE.

Section 2S4. Sale of Cigarettes
and Cigarette Materials. Every per-
son who shall manufacture, sell, give
away or distribute, or have in his
possession any cigarettes, cigarette
papers, or cigarette wrappers, shall
be guilty of misdemeanor."
The maximum punishment for in
fraction of this section is 90 days in
the county Jail or fine of $3.50.
Tucked away in the innumerable
provisions of the new criminal code
the foregoing paragraph, which aims
a deadly blow at cigarette smokers.
has escaped general observation. 1t
is the most stringent anti-cigarette
law ever enacted in this state. Not
only does it place ban on the sale
of cigarettes, but person found with
them in his possession, or even the
''makings," is liable to punishment
under the new law. After June II
they will become common lawbreak-
ers.
The general public had a hazy idea
that the anti-cigarette law was about
dead from non-enforcement. In fact,
there was agitation at one period of
the last legislatures activities for a
repeal of the law on the ground of
its uselessness. Statistics were pro-
duced to show that the sale of cigar
cites in the state had increased since
the passage of the law some time ago
prohibiting their sale by dealers.
In the past cigarette smokers in
all Washington cities of any size
have had no trouble in procuring
either the "tailor-made" cigarettes,
as those put up in boxes are some
times termed or cigarette papers, if
the purchaser prefers to roll them
himself.
Obviously, under such conditions
convictions under the old law were
difficult. In fact, except In a few
cases. there practically has been no
attempt made to enforce the law.
Under the new provision of the GRIM
inal code, however, there will be no
difficulty in securing evidence, pro-
viding the authorities should attempt
to enforce the peculiar law. The
mere fact that man is seen smOk-
ing cigarette. under the new law,
is prima facie evidence that he is a
lawbreaker
1t is obvious that cigarettes are 60
ing to be harder to procure after it
takes effect. The old law prohibits
dealers from selling or giving away
cigarettes. The new one does also,
with the additional provision that it
shall be misdemeanOr to have them |
in ones possession. Under such cir
cumstances the dealer who attempts |
to handle them is taking a long !
chance Any person who bears him a |
grudge might file Information and a |
raid on his stock would result in di- |
rect evidence, whereas heretofore it
has been necessary to get the testi-
mony of participants in, or eye wit
nesses to a sale.
