NEW RAILROAD FOR CHELAN co.
Mining Company Proposes to Build from
Lake CheIan to the Coast

The following story from the Chelan
Leader would seem to indicate that the
Great Northern may be too slow to
secure much Of the Lake Chelan busi-
ness, unless they come through and
make good some Of their promises to
the people Of that country:
1t is an even chance that Chelan' S
first railway connection with the out
side world will be via Lake Chelan, the
Stehekin river valley and the passes
through the rugged Cascades above
the head of the lake, if the Great
Northern doesn't hurry up with its
Columbia river line.
A railroad project is developing on
the west side of the mountains which
is either a stupendous enterprise or a
gigantic bluff. The Thunder Creek
Transportation & Smelling company Of
Seattle and Tacoma proposes to build
a line-two of them in fact-up the
west side of the Cascades to tap the
rich mineral districts OF Thunder creek,
Horseshoe Basin and Doubtful lake.
1t will be called the Skagit, Cascade &
Chelan railway and will reach Lake
Chelan via the Stehekin valley.
The company is said to have $15,-
600, 900 of European capital back of it.
1t is also said that the project is
feasible, and the company, which has
been organized for some time past, has
its plans so far developed that it has
secured concessions for right of way
and other privileges from the United
States Forest Service.
The routes of the proposed lines
have been mapped out and copy Of
the plat is now on file in the local forest
Office. According to this the survey
begins at Marble Mount, at the con-
Auence Of the Skagit and Sauk rivers,
and follows up the course Of the Skagit.
At the mouth of Cascade creek the
line branches. One branch follows the
course Of Cascade creek to its head
waters, where by tunnel mile and a
quarter long it is proposed to pierce
the main divide OF the Cascades and
emerge on the east side in the vicinity
Of Doubtful lake. The other branch
follows the Skagit to the mouth OF
Thunder creek and then up Thunder
creek to the summit, where, by a tun-
mel thru the rim OF Horseshoe Basin,
it makes conjunction with the other
line on the headwaters Of the Stehekin
river. The one line then follows down
the Stehekin to the head of Lake
Chelan.
Last Friday c. F. Healey, chief en-
gineer Of the company's field work,
and ]. ]. Sellars, head Of the commits
sary department, arrived in Chelan
from Tacoma and went uplake Monday
to look over the proposed route on this
side Of the mountains. They were ac-
companied by Deputy Supervisor D. S.
Rice and Ranger E. o. Blankenship,
who will take note Of the departments
interests along the line.
At various times during the past
winter rumors drifted into this section
that one or more parties of surveyors
were diligently at work on the west
side OF the mountains and that their

zuela, there are no others known of
the same kind. One who has visited
the island could not go away without
seeing SO unique sight, yet it is not
enjoyable by any means. Here and
there may be seen some dead vegeta-
ton, dropping palm trees or withered
scrubs, and all around is a sitting sui
phuric smell. An endless cable half a
mile long leads from the lake to a pier
on the water front. On this cable
swing big steel buckets, which are fill

pier, where it is pumped into steel
tanks on board steam ships. This work
never ceases night or day, summer or

situated on the outskirts of the city to
which visitors are admitted, and there
can be seen the ravages of that awful
disease There are about $50 patients

A man on the wane of life observes
that noverty has advantages and ad-

can wear out your old clothes. You
are excused from calls. You are not
troubled with many visitors. Bores do
not disturb you. Spongers do not
haunt your tables. Brass bands do not
serenade you. No one thinks of pres
enting you with a testimonial. No
store keeper irritates You by asking
you, SIS there anything l can do for

have a true friend in the world you
are sure to know it in short space OF

AMERICAS BEST KNOWN JOUR.
NALIST ON OSTEOPATHY.

Mr.. Arthur Brisbane, editor-in-chief
of the Hearst newspapers, one of the
strongest factors in journalism and
known to be the highest paid newspa-
per man in the world, receiving a SAL
ary of $72, 900 year, is a clear thinker
on all topics of public Importance. His
editorial utterances are widely quoted.
In the September 9th issue of his syn
dicate of newspapers reaching to both
sides of the continent Mr.. Brisbane
printed this as his leading editorial:
osteopathy Is Thoroughly Scientific
Osteopathy is science, and science
of this greatest Importance. 1t cannot
entirely replace medicine: it does not
pretend to do so. 1t cannot, of course,
replace or do away with surgery, and
it does not pretend to do so.
But osteopathy cures, has cured and
will cure many diseases; it will save
many lives.
Osteopathy in many cases makes sur
gerry and medicine unnecessary.
There is nothing of the puack or the
transceddental faith healer about the
able osteopath.
When he understands his profession,
which implies that he understands
thoroughly human anatomy, blood dis
tribution and the distribution of the
nervous force, the osteopath is a
scientific man, valuable to the human
race.
Osteopathy, briefly, cures disease by
sending fnll supply of blood to the
parts of the body that are diseased by
freeing nerves from pressure, due to
defective structure of the skeleton, by
stimulating through manipulation the
activity of certain organs, notably Of
the liver and the spleen.
Many of the greatest living doctors
of the old school recognize the great
value of osteopathy, and all of the ole
school doctors, as they become moderr
and open-minded, will call osteopathy
to their aid, just as the intelligent os
teopath does not hesitate to call in the
surgeon or the man skilled in materii
medica.
We are not recommending our read
ers to resort to osteopathy in place o.
a trusted family physician. The selec
tion of good osteopath is more i'm
portant and difficult than the selection
of good physician. For bad osteo
path may do much more harm than al
incompetent doctor of the old school.
We simply demand justice for the os
teopaths, with full opportunity to de
velop their wonderful and usefu
science. We trust that they will figh
to the highest court for what they be
lieve to be their rights. -Osteopathi
