fiorse-thief Arrested Here

A few years ago a detected horse
thief would have had short shrift in
this western region. He who stole
money stole trash; but he who stole
horses stole that which indeed bank
rupted the owner and at the same time
enriched the thief. So the horse thief
was promptly hanged on the spot.
Today it is different, though probably
in some remote regions quick death
would now be the fate Of man trying
to escape with stolen horse.
Deputy Sheriff Debord arrested in
Leavenworth self-confessed horse
thief and took him to Wenatchee.
He gave his name as Clinton Hassett,
was 22 years old and said he had
served term in the Michigan reform
school. His father is now in the
Michigan penitentiary for sheep steal
ing.
The horse was stolen from c. J.
Tillott, six miles south Of Wenatchee
in Douglas county. Mr.. Debord took
the young fellow to Wenatchee the
same evening, and he is now awaiting
trial in the Douglas county jail.

REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL
Adjourned Meeting tuesday Night TO
Advertise for Bids for Whitman
Street Cukert

The council met in adjourned ses
sion Tuesday evening. Mayor Nelson
and Councilmen r. T. King, E. A
King, Wheeler and Woldenberg pres.
ent.
Clerk Hamilton being absent, E. A.
King was chosen clerk for the evening.
The special business of the evening
was the Whitman street improvement.
The committee appointed at the reg
ular meeting, consisting OF Councilmen
Wheeler and E. A. King, reported they
had received a proposition from Con-
tractor J. E. Gutherless to build for
$1oo fiat, a culvert on Whitman street,
fifty feet long and three feet diameter
inside; or by the day for not more than
that sum.
When it was said Mr.. Gutherless
could not begin the work at once, the
Mayor suggested bids be advertised
for. This pleased Councilman VOL
denberg, who has been a consistent
advocate of the advertising method.
After quite a good deal of talk it was
unanimously agreed to do the adver-
tising, although it was thought by some
TO be a waste OF time.
There ensued good deal OF rambling
talk which could not be condensed
into anything really useful, though in
time to come it may bear some fruit.
A part of this talk was concerning the
purchase by the town OF rock crusher.
Councilman Woldenberg suggested
if the council could be happy family
a most beautiful town could be built
here; but under present conditions it
was no use to try.
Just about here, when it was sup
posed the business was nearly con-
cluded, Councilman Woldenberg came
to the surface again with suggestion
that more dignity be observed in
council meetings; that councilmen rise
TO speak and respectfully address the
mayor, and that parliamentary rules of
order be conformed to. The other
councilmen were not so earnest in their
approval Of the suggestion; but it was
tacitly agreed to concur in the sug-
gestion.
Then another matter came up which
was quickly brought to head. Mayor
Nelson asked that action be taken in
the purchase Of the Farel property
which obstructs a street on the North
side east OF the viaduct, and a motion
was carried to appoint committee,
consisting of Councilmen Mccoy and
Woldenberg, to negotiate the purchase
at a price not to exceed $400.
And the council adjourned.

That Fifteen Pound Trout

The following item was printed last
week in the Echo.
M. A. Marley, cashier Of the Tum-
water Savings Bank, returned Wed
nesday night from a vacation to Lake
Wenatchee. He hiked from the lake
to Chiwaukum and caught freight
train from there. Mr.. Marley was
lucky fisherman, capturing trout 80
inches long and weighing IS pounds.
If you don't believe it, ask Mr.. Marley.
Comes now Mr.. Marley and says it
is all mistake. He did not catch
the big fish. He did not know the
story would get into the paper. He
was joking anyhow when he said he
caught it. To Miss Sadie Skirving
belongs the glory OF catching the
fnny monster, but Mr.. Marley was
there and saw it done, which is almost
as much honor as to have hooked it
himself.

track, put in perfect condition since
last year by the expenditure Of $4,000
and the addition OF six inches of new
clay top soil, is now said to be the
fastest in the Northwest.
The entries received by Manager

MILLION AND A HALF ON WATER
This Vast Sum Is Likely to Be Spent Soon
in the Irrigation of Quincy
flats

Since printing the story last week,
in which the names OF w. A. Insinger
and R. Insigner of Spokane we're men,
toned, The Echo has had more def
mite information OF this gigantic scheme
to irrigate over a half million acres oi
land with the waters of the Wenatchee
river.
A. J.Ternent, who lives near Quincy,
spent several days here last week, and
in a brief interview with him it was
learned that he had come as the repre-
sentative of a number Of land owners
who live on the Quincy fats, for the
purpose Of making a personal inspec-
ton Of the prospects Of Mr.. Insinger's S
irrigation proposition.
Mr.. Ternent learned that the parties,
or the company, which Mr.. Insinger is
acting for had placed two legal filings
on water from the Wenatchee river for
irrigating purposes. One location is
between the foot OF Wenatchee lake
and Chiwaukum, the other is below
the Great Northern power plant. Two
filings have been made for the purpose
Of determining which site is the most
available before the time expires within
which development work must be done
to hold the location.
Mr.. Ternent also learnad that a sur
veying party had been on the ground
for several months, and that a blue
print had already been made of the
route of the canal
This information was confirmed by
J. B. Adams, whose logging camp is in
the vicinity of the filing below Lake
Wenatchee. Mr.. Adams says he has
frequently seen surveyors at work, and
that his men have occasionally put the
surveyors across the river, and that
they often came to his logging camp
for information about the country and
the river, in the past two months.
They were cautious about giving out
information.
In conversation with the writer Mr..
Ternent said the people about Quincy
are ready to cooperate with the pro-
moters of the proposition, and would
lend it every assistance. A half
million acres OF as fine land as can
be found in the state lies in the neigh
borhood of Quincy, all of which is
level enough to well adapt it to irriga-
ton. The proposition is to siphon
the water across the Columbia on
bridge above the mouth of the Wenat-
chez river The elevation OF the line
will be such as to cover large body
Of land in Douglas county, just across
the river from the city of Wenatchee.
1t is confidently believed that the
project when presented by the engineers
will meet with the approval of the
capitalists who are expected to finance
the undertaking, and that work will
begin, if not this fall, then early next
spring.
