SAYS NEW ROAD IS
FAR BETTER
CHELAN MAN WHO is NOT LOOK
ING FOR NEWSPAPER MOTOR
IETY SAYS COMMISSIONERS
TROW MADE No MISTAKE

A Chelan man who was in the city
this week says there are two sides
to the Chelan road controversy and
that the World has given but one
tside of it. He states that while pos
Isibly there might be some inconveni-
ence occasioned by the coat COM
pany having to stop at Chelan Falls
and also at the new landing, which
| is about l II miles up the river, yet
after the landing is made the trip
to Chelan and Lakeside is but an
hours ride, whereas the old ride
from Chelan Falls to Chelan is
long, hard, dusty trip.
The purported trouble with
Crooked Mouthed Bob is all
myth, as he is making no trouble
and the new road is practically COM
IpleteG. There are some finishing
touches yet to be made The road is
graveled from top to bottom and
free from dust and already the ma
terial is on the grounds for a watt
ing room to be erected at the land
ing. This will be commodious af-
fair with verandas on two sides of
lit. Said this Chelan man:
1T has been said by men who
have travelled extensively. that the
scenery. taking it as a whole, from
the foot of Lake Chelan to the sum-
NIT of the Cascade range. is not sur
passed in Asia. Switzerland, South
America, Alaska, or in any other
part of the United States To get
there from Wenatchee, one can go
by team, following the county road
along the mighty Columbia, or by
taking passage on a c. & o. steamer.
to Chelap Falls, or to Chelan Land
ing, which Is about one and one-half
miles up the river from Chelan Falls.
to Chelan is three and one-third
miles, the road is free from dust
from the river to top of hill, and
from there to Chelan is not to ex-
ceed 20 minutes drive. One hour
is about the usual time taken to
drive from the river to Lakeside
over this route. and coming from
Lakeside to the river takes about 40
minutes. The material is on the
ground for building a waiting room
sufficiently large to accommodate the
average number of passengers that
will prefer to get off at this land
ing. and will be completed in a very
short time. In returning from the
lake to Wenatchee one will have to
leave the hotel about two hours
earlier than they would have to do
If they came to Chelan Falls, which
is the only reason why one should
not take this route. as 1t saves about
one hour of hill climbing and dust.
though there are some that will get
off at Chelan Falls. in order to get
a good view of the Chelan river as
it comes down through the gorge
and is a sight worth seeing"

5000 FOR PUBLIC
|TY FUND
COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMITTEE
CANVASSED HALF DAY WITH
THE ABOVE RESULT - WILL
EASILY SECURE THE $1,000.

The Commercial club committee,
Messrs. Stevenson, Woods and
Tewkesbury, made a partial can
vass of this city yesterday after
noon with the result that $500 was
obtained. The direct object of the
fund at this time is for the purpose
of advertising the resources of this
city and valley at the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition and to defray the
expenses of a publicity agent there
and to meet the expenditures neces-
sary in the entertainment of visitors
to this city. The committee reports
that with but one or two exceptions
the business men were ready to sub
scribe for this fund and the COM
mittee considers that it will be an
easy matter to raise the 81 900 re-
quired for this work. The plan is
to turn the money in to the treas
urer of the Commercial club and a
man will be selected to go to the
grounds of the exposition and there
meet and interest as many people
as possible in coming to this valley.
There is also some 5000 available
from pledges made to publicity work
: last winter and which is now in the
club treasury. The following are
the subscribers to the fund to date:
Wells & Morris, George r. Fisher,
Austin & Co., Eagle Transfer Co.,

The publicity committee desires
that the fruit growers whom the
committee have been unable to see
supplement the work of the mer-
chants, business men and real estate
men by telephoning in their sub
scription to this fund, either in a
monthly subscription or lump sum
for the three months. These sub
scriptions can be telephoned to Geo.
R. Fisher. treasurer of the CONNER
cial club and they will be applied
to the publicity fund. The names
of additional subscribers will be pub
lished in the Daily World as they
come in.
