LeavenwOrth Needs Building Restriction

Several months since the matter of
establishing a fire limit came before
the town council and failed Of action
because the members could not agree
upon a limit. Some members favored
restricting the limit for the present
to blocks three and four, while others
favored including block five in the
limit within which no frame buildings
would be permitted to be erected.
The question OF whether it is good
or a bad move was not discussed. The
split occurred over what should be in
cluded in the limit. The matter of
whether two or three blocks should be
embraced in the fire limit does not go
to the merit of the question. If those
who favored embracing three blocks in
the fire limit thought it was a good
move to have fire limit they could
have favored two block limit without
doing violence to their convictions.
Certain it is that nothing would so
much encourage the erection of good,
substantial buildings as the establish
ment of limit within which frame
shacks could not be built along side
of brick and cement buildings.
Wooden shacks not only look badly
but they increase the fire risk of ad-
joining property. The first and one
of the most important steps in the
building of substantial town is the
establishment of limit within which
all buildings must conform to certain
standard.

Record Breaking Lumber Cut

One day the past week, or TO be
perfectly accurate, on the 22nd day OF
the month, the Lamb-Davis Lumber
Co.'s two double cut band saws cut
191, 780 feet of lumber in run OF ten
hours. The right hand saw, in charge
of Sawyer J. K. Mcpherson, reduced
384 logs to lumber, making 88, 178
feet. At the same time the left hand
saw, in charge of Roman Fromm, sawed
281 logs, making 1903, 602 feet of lum-
Der. This is believed to be the largest
cut ever made by two band saws on
the east side OF the mountains, says
George DAILY, mill superintendent.

dark. There can be no doubt but that
publishing bank statements has pre-
vented many a banker with an itching
palm from misusing funds intrusted to
his care to the widespread injury of the
public.
AS compared with the injury which
results from lack of publicity the cost
of publishing every matter in which the
public has an interest, the cost of pub
LEGATION is negligible quantity.
If the press of the state, both daily
and weekly, discuss this matter in a
spirit of fairness it will result in the
passage of a law by the next Legislature
of first importance to the great mass of
the public and secondary interest to
the publishers of the state.
The resolution passed by the State
Press Association demands the publica-
ton of the proceedings of the county
commissioners in one newspaper of
general circulation in each of the three
commissioner districts. The cost of
publishing the proceedings of the com
missioners in Chelan county costs the
people approximately $3.50 per year
under the present law. The cost of pub
fishing the proceedings in three news
papers need not cost the people more
than $3.50 per year, but would really
result in saving to the people for the
reason that hundreds Of people are
compelled, and do, subscribe for the
paper in which the official proceedings
are published, in addition to their
home paper, with the sole purpose of
getting the commissioners proceed
ings.
Publicity is the most wholesome fac
tor in our government and newspapers
are the most perfect agents.

Publicity Prevents Wrong Doing

A matter of some importance to the
newspaper fraternity of the state but Of
vastly more importance TO the people
at large received the attention of the
State Press Association at its recent
session. The association passed a
resolution favoring the fixing by law Of
a rate for publishing all legal notices
in which the general public has an
interest. AS the law now stands no
provision is made for the publication Of
some important matters which should
of right receive the widest publicity,
while the legal rate for some others is
not fixed The Echo does not believe
in fixing an exhorbitant rate for the
benefit of the publishers but it does
believe in fixing fair compensation
for printing all matters in which the
public is vitality interested, and it
further believes in making the publish
ing of all matters which tend to prevent
fraud, deceit and wrong doing, com
pulsory. Some men in puplic Office
Love darkness rather than light
because their deeds are evil" Just as
in the vegetable world the absence of
light promotes evil growth, so in the
political and official world the absence
of the light of publicity permits the
growth of political and official evils.
The public has not forgotten how the
remarkable work of a reporter for the
Post-Intelligencer threw the search
light of newspaper publicity on the
doings in the Office of Adjutant Gen
eral Hamilton a few months ago. If
the statutes OF the state of Washington
had made it obligatory upon that officer
to publish a semi-annual statement of
the expenses of his Office, or even an
annual statement, many thousand
dollars might have been saved to the
people. AS preventer of official
wrong doing the daily and weekly press
is the most active agent in modern
life. The publishing Of quarterly bank
statements was the outgrowth OF wrong
doing on the part of dishonest bankers
who pursued a devious course in the

The Game is an Asset Worth Protecting

From Forest Supervisor Sylvester we
learn that move is on foot to ask the
proper authorities to create a game
preserve in that section of country ly-
ing between the head of Lake Chelan
and the Cascade mountains. The
country is very rough and beyond
mineral and timber has no particular
value. Several we'll defined glaciers
are located in this region. 1t is at
this time we'll stocked with white
mountain goat, now becoming quite
scarce as we'll as deer and bear.
1t is however to prevent the extinction
OF the goats that the movement is set
on foot. Among the attractions that
the state of Washington has to offer
tourists, and the leisure class generally,
game is by no means the least impor-
tant. The time is not far distant
when natural scenery, fishing and game
Of the larger varieties will prove val
liable and drawing attraction, bringing
hundreds of visitors to the state, a class
of visitors, too, that spend money freely
in pursuit of pleasure. Tourist travel
more than any one thing has made the
Swiss nation one of the wealthiest little
countries in Europe. Every summer
her hundreds OF tourist hotels are
crowded to OVERLOOKING with visitors
from every part of the world seeking
health and recreation. The tourist
crop is facetiously said to be the most
profitable in the country. The worth
of Washington's natural scenery, as
we'll as her fishing and game, will ere
long be recognized. The time to
foster this asset is now, Create the
reserve and protect the game and fish
before it is too late.

One OF the sins of commission for
which the last Washington legislature is
held responsible is taking the nomination
of the Supreme Court judges out of the
direct primary law and restoring it 10
the old party convention system. Just
why this should have been done after
the first trial of the direct primary had
received the approval of the mass OF
the people has never been satisfactorily
explained. If any request or demand
for this change had been made other
than that coming from some of the
political wire pullers who were always
opposed to the direct primary, this
paper never heard of it. At the time
and Immediately after the passage OF
the act repeating so much of the di-
rect primary law no great outcry was
made but since the upheavel in the
state administration attention has been
drawn to this matter and now an ac-
tive campaign is carried on by the
Direct Primary League of the State of
Washington. The State Press Asso-
citation at its meeting in Seattle July
IS to II went on record as favoring
the restoration of the direct primary
law as applicable to the nomination of
Supreme court judges.
