BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME
Wenatchee Parties VIII Water the Entire
Upper Wenatchee Valley

Messrs. F. M. and Percy Scheble
and Marvin Chase and Jay Buttles, all
of Wenatchee, are the promoters Of
scheme to put water on the entire up
per Wenatchee valley. The PROPOSE
ton, as it has been outlined to The
Echo, is to take water out OF Snow
creek, a tributary OF the Icicle river
and by building an aqueduct over the
Wenatchee river bring water down
both sides Of that stream. The ditch
on the north side OF the river will run
along the hill back Of the Leavenworth
Land Co.'s tract to the mouth OF the
Chumstick where that valley will be
crossed and the water conveyed to all
the agricultural land between Leaven-
worth and Cashmere on the north side
of the Wenatchee river. The ditch on
the south side of the river will convey
water to all the lands not now under
irrigation as far down as Peshastin, or
as far down as it may be found profta-
BILE. A power plant will be built on
the Icicle river above the mouth of
Snow creek to furnish power for pump
ing water on lands where the gravity
system is impracticable and for manu-
featuring and lighting purposes.
We are assured that the parties have
ample capital to carry out their plans
and will begin work as soon as the
consent of the forestry department for
the building of the plant is obtained.
It is not anticipated that any trouble on
this score will be encountered, as the
department has always looked with
favor upon irrigation schemes. The
putting of water on all the agricultural
lands in the vicinity Of Leavenworth
will be of inestimable benefit to the
upper end Of the Wenatchee valley.
The amount OF agricultural land that
the proposed bitches will cover is not
known to the writer at this time, but
it is not far from the truth to say that
the acreage will approximate five thou
sand, and estimating ten acres to the
family, which is about the average in
the Wenatchee valley, this will make
homes for five hundred additional fami-
lies, all of whom would find it most
convenient to trade at Leavenworth.

Nothing Doing at Last Meeting of Council


When the town council met on
Tuesday night last ]. D. Wheeler, ap-
pointed to fill out the term of Coun-
Gilman Phelan, was present and quail
fed. 1t was brief and uninteresting
meeting. Beyond the allowing of bills
nothing much was done.
1t was decided that the town needed
a plot of ground for dumping garbage
and ordered the clerk to advertise for
bids. The plot Of ground not to be
over three or four acres and to be in
some location where objection would
not be made to its endangering the
public health.
A communication was received from
Seattle attorney in regard to an injury
received by C. w. Hamilton last win
ter in falling on sidewalk near the
Weigand building. The communica-
ton was placed on file.

Fatally Injured in Railroad Accident

Mark McAteer, brakeman running
between this place and Wilson Creek,
was probably fatally injured last Tues
day while working on an eastbound
local freight which had just arrived at
Wilson Creek.
AS near as we could learn he was
hanging on the side of box car which
had been kicked" down the main
line. The platform in front of the
depot there is very high and stands
close to the track. He evidently did
not notice this until it was too late and
was struck by the platform and dragged
several feet in between. The unfor-
tunate youth was at once placed under
the care of physician, whose examin-
alton proved that several ribs were
broken and his chest crushed in. He
was sent to a Spokane hospital on No.
D, which passed thru Wilson Creek an
hour later.
McAteer is about nineteen years OF
age and has been working on the road
for the past year. He is young man
OF good habits and we'll liked by all
who know him. He recently joined
the Brotherhood of Trainmen. His
parents live in Minnesota. Just as we
are going to press word comes over the
wire that he is still living, but his
chances of recovery are very small.

Government Studies Wood Utilization in
Oregon and Washington District

OfeSOn dUU VdSthtStuh CsSusSt
The Forest Service is making a
thorough study Of the utilization of the
products of the forest, and Of the lum-
Der and wood-using industries and
markets of this district. In time a
report will be had from every consider
able wood manufacturing establishment
in both states. Each market is studied
with reference to the species found,
the use of the woods, the source of
supply, the distribution of the manu-
factured wood products, prices and
general market conditions! These
statistics should be of decided value to
all wood users and should promote the
wisest and most economical utilization
of forest products.
