The road between Barre and Mont

spring thoroughfaras in this vicinity. II
Berlin has any state road appropriation,
IT might be well to put the money into
this road; but we suppose that Berlin
has other use for the money than to put
1t into q part Of the town which ought
geographically to be in Barre and Mont

of Councilman Woldenberg, supported
by Councilman R. T. King, the subject
was referred to a committee, composed
of Mayor Nelson and Councilmen VOL
denberg and Wheeler, to confer with
Mr.. Jacobsen Friday night, at which
time a contract will be submitted and
discussed, and presented to the full
council next Tuesday night for approval
or rejection.
Mr.. Jacobsen said it would require at
least forty days to install the system
after the contract was signed and ordi-
nance published. So that there is
good prospect of having street lights
before snow flies.
Mayor Nelson appointed Joe Teshera
city marshal, vice w. o. Pratt removed.
The appointment was Immediately con-
frmed by the council. As Mr.. Teshera
is out of town, c. NJ. Wilcox, who has
been acting since Mr.. Platt's removal,
will perform the duties of marshall till
the return Of the regular officer.

A GRAND WINDOW DISPLAY
Apples, Pears, and Vegetables Grown With
out Water Near LeavenwOrth

A miniature local apple show rival
ing the Seattle A.-Y.-P. exposition or
the National Apple Show at Spokane,
has for week been on exhibition in
the window in the Office of Adams &
Carr on Front Street. 1t consists of
fruit and vegetables grown without
irrigation within mile Of Leavenworth.
The specimens are par excellence.
No fruit could make better showing
in size, color, shape or freedom from
blemish.
AS to size OF vegetables, there are
three potatoes, the combined weight
of which is four pounds nine ounces,
raised by H. S. McNett. Charles Fox
grew turnip weighing ~ pounds.
A Red Globe onion produced by E.
Blankenship, tips the scale at eighteen
ounces. A Yellow Danvers onion
shown by U. H. Leftwich is as heavy
as twenty ounces.
In the window are the following
displays.
By Nick Kinscherf, Jonathan, Wine

main, Gloria Mundi apples; Flemish
Beauty pears; Hungarian prunes.
By Harry Carr, Black Twig apples.
By John Emig, Twenty-ounce Pip

dow of the Leavenworth Mercantile
Co., next door to Adams & Carr, is
another exhibit of apples, consisting of
Jonathan, Twenty-ounce Pippin, Wine
sap apples and Red Weathersfeld
onions, raised by H. E. Carr. These
specimens are equally as fine as the
other show.
F. S. Taylor also shows several fine
specimens of potatoes in his window on
Ninth street.
L. J. Nelson, to be in style, has
also a fine display in his window Of po-
tatoes grown without irrigation on the F.
A. Reynolds tract at Reynolds. There
are ten of these potatoes, none of them
quite large enough for football.

REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL
Fixed Tax Levy for This Year at Mills
FaVOrabIy Considered Lighting
Proposition

ing to consider the amount OF the tax
levy to be paid next year, and to dis
cuss the proposition of lighting the
streets of Leavenworth.
The councilmen were all present,
except E. A. King, who is out of town.
Mayor Nelson and Clerk Hamilton were
also in their places. In addition to the
council regular there were fifteen or
twenty representative citizen taxpayers,
who came to lend a hand in securing
sufficient money to carry the city over
another year; but specially to encourage
the cautious councilmen to conclude a
lighting contract with the Tumwater
Light and Water Company.
The estimate of city expenses as
published in The Echo last month was
passed without change. Some of those
present wanted more money for lighting
and less for street improvement. 1t was
explained money could be borrowed
from one fund to boost another; that
this is an experimental year under a
new law, and in future years there
would be precedents to guide in fixing
the amount of money needed for the
following year.
After free and easy discussion Of
matter for an hour or so the levy was
fixed at 6 mills for general purposes
and ! mill for the park fund.
Retiring Marshal Platt, through F. S.
Taylor, returned his star to the council
with a south-paw message of compli-
ment and defiance, which was greeted
by council and visitors with outlaws of
derisive laughter. Later in the evening
the marshaps resignation was presented
and accepted, and the incident was
closed.
R. S. Van Campen's moving picture
show, which has been running for some
weeks without having taken out a
license, through Councilman Walden
berg sent a check covering one years
permit for this show.
Then the real business of the even
ing was broached by reading the follow
ing communication:
September 20, 1909.
S. c. Woldenberg, Town:
Dear Sir-Agreeable to your request
for price on street lighting, on behalf
of the Tumwater Light and Water Com
pany I submit to you the following as
our proposition for lighting the city
streets:
For Slight Acknowledgment Tungs-
stem series clusters, at the rate of 81
per cluster per month.
For 32-candlepower single lamps at
the rate of 50 per month per lamp.
If the city enters into contract with
US for street lighting, our proposition
to them will be that this company will
furnish, install and maintain all appara-
tus and furnish and maintain renewal
lamps, the city to agree to an average
fve-year contract.
The above prices are based on con-
tracing for at least five clusters and
forty small lamps.
In this connection wish to say that
in order to wire the town for street
lamps it will entail an expense on our
part of approximately $4,000. 1t will
cost very little more TO run clear round
the town with street lights than it would
to run through the business part and
back, so that in considering the propo-
sition it would be advisable for the city
council to permit US to wire the entire
town. Respectfully submitted,
F. S. Jacobsen,
Secretary and Treasurer.

It is said the cause Of the head-on
collision at Crater last week was that
Brakeman Demeis lined up the switch
for the main track and, losing presence
of mind as the coming train was upon
him, opened the swith, allowing the
oncoming train to smash into the one
waiting on the siding. Fireman Gus
Kunish and DR.. J. P. Cox, of Spooner,
Wis, a passenger, was killed. Mr..
Kunish was a young man, well known
and well liked here, and his untimely
death is much to be regretted.

Mr.. Jacobsen explained the position
of the company more fully. He had a
blue print of the town, on which was
indicated the location of all the pro-
posed lamps, and showing with forty
one single lamps and five clusters the
whole town could be fairly well lighted.
All the clusters would be placed on
Front street, from the passenger station
to the viaduct. The single lights are
to be distributed impartially on both

The matter was of deep interest to
all present, and was thoroly thrashed
over from all sides. Finally, on motion
