PROMISE RAILWAY
IN A YEAR
OKANOGAN ELECTRIC SECURING
RIGHT OF WAY ON PROPOSED
IN ONE YEAR.

Right of way is being secured for
the Okanogan Electric railroad,
which is surveyed from Nighthawk
to Brewster, thence to Bridgeport
and On to Spokane. according to re-
ports received from Bridgeport yes
terday. The company is securing
the right of way and in most cases
it is costing them but 81 each trans
fer. The transfers are being made
to them under the conditions that
the road will be in operation within
one year from date. This is the road
which was promoted by A. M. Dewey
and which has been the subject of
much discussion throughout the
Okanogan country. Dewey, it is
said, is no longer connected with the
road.

Failed to Prosecute.

A c. Swartz, who was arrested
Tuesday night by Officers Nelson and
Hauser, on the charge of rolling his
roommate, E. T. Gavin, and secur-
ing SIS in cash from the man, was
arraigned yesterday afternoon be-
fore Judge Palmer. Gavin, however,
failed to appear as prosecuting wit
ness. The police searched for him
but evidently he had decamped. 1t
has been learned that these men have
worked together for number of
years and have been in a number of
shady transactions. consequently Ga
win was not in a humor to prosecute
his old friend Yesterday, after his
discharge, Swartz left town and the
City is now rid of both these men.

DEVELOP MENT
Of CHE[AN
FALLS
SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS TO
BE SPENT IMMEDIATELY BY
G. y. AND N. p. r. r. FOR ELEC-
IRRIGATION.

The Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific are both to be electrified
in Washington. This is the state
ment given out today by members
of the party which accompanied the
state land board on it's trip to Lake
Chelan, where the latter went to
pass upon the damage to the state by
reason of having the waters of Lake
Chelan raised to high water mark.
For some time past the report has
been going around concerning the
electric work which is in prospect
for the Great Northern. But the
matter of the electrification of the
Northern Pacific is something new.
The plan is to dam the waters of
Lake Chelan at its outlet, so as to
keep it permanently at its high wa
ter mark. This provides a reservoir
with an increased capacity 60 miles
in length and it is said the plan is
second to none of its kind in the
world.
The state land board which is COM
posed of the state tax commissioner
stae fire warden and state land com
missioner is authorized to pass upon
the damage in such cases and the
following members of the board are
in Wenatchee today on their way
home from Chelan: T. D. Rockwell
E. w Ross. T. J. Welty and T. A
Parrish The party yesterday made
the trip the full length of the lake
and their reports will be made later.
The fact that the Great Northern
is planning to put in this electric
plant means that several million dol
lars will be spent at Lake Chelan.
Nature has afforded such a codnition
that tn clover end of the lake is
already almost a complete dam and
by raising the water a few feet
higher water power to the amount OF
10000 to 100000 h. p. may be de-
veloped. The small cost per h. p.
with which it may be developed riv-
ais the Niagara Falls and it is pre-
dicted that within a few years the
Chelan water power will become one
of the. most noted in the country.
The engineer in charge of the Lea
venworth plant was some time ago
notified 70 be in readiness to COM
mence operations on the development
of the Chelan Falls water power, but
work was delayed on account of the
inability of the state land board to
adjust the matters in which the state
was interested 1t is now stated.
however. that operations will be CON-
menced on the big plant at once 1t
is known that the Tumwater canyon
plant cost almost $4,000. 900. but
this will be a small sum in compari-
son with what is to be expended at
Chelan Falls.
Huge transmission lines will be
run down the river to Wenatchee to
operate the Great Northern, and
there is possibility that the line
may be extended down the Columbia

Of WAT
ERv|[[E'S
ROAD
SPIRIT SHOWN By PEOPLE OF
BIG BEND CITY EQUALS THAT
DISPLAYED WHEN WENAT-
CHEZ BUILT HER BRIDGE.

That Wenatchee and the Wenat-
chez valley has no monopoly on the
spirit of progress which characterizes
the great northwest is evidenced from
the way in which the people of Wa
terville practically financed the con-
struction of a railway within day.
Future generations will reside in the
Big Bend and be told or will read of
this magnificent example of public
spirit, of how the people of Waterville
and immediate vicinity raised $4,000
in cash in a single day ana $4,000
more within a few days afterwards.
The following is a story of how the
work was done:
"A meeting was held and a commit
| tee was named called the Waterville
railroad committee A circular was
gotten out stating that the Great
Northern had refused to build at
Waterville. Among other things the
circular said:
The Great Northern declines tC
build this branch for the accommo-
dation of the people in this Water
vile country. because it is plain We
will have to haul our grain and Other
freight to and from the Great North
ern railway. So the only way for us
to get help is to help ourselves"
Another circular was gotten ou
which read as follows:
There is no use to mince words
We are up against a tough PROPOSE
ton. If we want convenient railroad
transportation we will have to Great,
it ourselves.
| ut will take five miles of road I,
connect us with the Great Northern
Mr.. Hill won't built 1t because he ha
got us corralled anyway. If he don
build to us we will have to haul t
him, regardless of the extra distance
unless We build our own road. Shal
we build 1t, or shall we haul the extr
distance this year next year, and tn
next year. and so on, Indefinitely?
The grain men stand ready t
erect elevators at Waterville If con
nectiOn is made with the Grea
Northern. 1t will cost a farmer liy
ing west and north of Watervill
about dollar a ton more to haul hi
wheat to the Great Northern than t
the elevator in his home town. Tha
Is about dollar an acre for ever
acre of grain, taking one year wit
another. Figure the tariff yourself
and then consider that this goes O
year after year" Etc, ETC.
Business was practically suspende
until the money had been raised.
The result was that within a fey
days only after the movement wa
started that grading began on tn
road. Including side tracks and wy
there are seven miles of grades an
six bridges. The chief engineer G
the company is A. L. Rogers. He
assisted by Robert Waterhouse. Th
