RESIGNED
EXECUTIVE OF THE TOWN OF
LEAVENWORTH REFUSES TO
SANCTION THE CONTRACT FOR
CITY LIGHTING.

L. ]. Nelson has resigned his Of
flee as mayor of the city of Leaven-
worth, owing to the fact that the
city council has entered into a con-
tract with the Tumwater Light e
Power company hich he can not in
dorse.
The contract provides for the light
ing of the city streets by this COM
pany at an expense of s117 per month
for the term of three years. The
council entered into the contract un-
der the protest of the mayor. who
believed that the sum is too heavy
for the city to pay at the present
time and owing to the fact that he
has no veto power he deemed it best
to resign under the circumstances.
The question of a municipal water
and lighting system is being discussed
by the people of Leavenworth and
circumstances point to the consum-
nation of such a scheme within q
short time. To succeed Mr.. Nelson,
]. E. Guntherless has been appointed
mayor and has signed the contract
as passed by the council.

To HARNESS FLOOD
FOR LAND
RUSH OF WATER AT WILSOE
CREEK TO BE STORED-WID-
ENING AND DEEPENING CRAB
CREEK CHANNEL.

Wilson Creek, Nov. 1.-The most
important movement in the history
of this section of the Big Bend coun-
try. having for its object the elimina-
tion of spring floods, which have in
past years damaged Wilson Creek
and neighboring towns, and the con-
serving of the water which flows
through Crab creek valley each
spring. was started this week,
The widening and deepening of the
channel of Crab creek has been un-
dertaken by owners of swamp land
formerly known as Crab lake, to
draw off the water which comes
down from the high plateaus in the
spring. John Rumsey has been
awarded the contract for $4,000.
It is understood the Great North
ern is backing the scheme, as the
work will relieve the company of a
large annual expenditure for repairs
to washed-out tracks and result in
revenue when the large areas now
lying waste are utilized.
The work embraces the construc-
tion of reservoirs at the head of the
canyon. Walls of the canyon will
furnish the material. The flow of
water down the valley during the
spring floods is enormous, and ample,
is stored, for all irrigation purposes.
Between Odessa and Adrian there are
now thousands of acres lying idle
and practically valueless on account
of the annual inundatiOn.

CANADIAN CASH N
THE CITY
CLOSING OF SEATTLE FAIR SCAT
TERED NORTHERN MONEY
FAR AND WIDE OVER NORTH
WEST.

One of the local results of the
closing of the Seattle fair has been
the great thrush of Canadian dimes
and 25-cent pieces in this section.
Where before Canadian money never
got much beyond Seattle, since the
closing of the fair it has been cir
culating inland and south at an
amazing rate and today a banker es-
timated that about so per cent of the
small change in the city was Cana
dian coin
Every effort is being made to get
this money back where it belongs,
and large quantities of it are being
shipped to Seattle for exchange every
week; but so far this has made but
little impression on the supply. The
money passes readily on the streets,
though it is not legal tender of the
realm, and it is hard to collect it
and get it ready for shipment
Trouble May Result.
If the influx of the foreign coin in
creases some trouble may be exper-
fenced by merchants; for the banks
do not like to accept it in large guam
titles. Such acceptance necessitates
its being shipped out again and
when large sum of money is turned
in to a bank in Canadian form, the
institution is really taking a chance
on getting rid of it. While it's in
trinsic value as silver is worth about
the sum it represents in American
money, it is nevertheless difficult to
handle and bankers have noticed that
while their customers do not mind
turning it in, they have serious OBJ
jections to taking it in payment for
checks.
Much of the money is also being
sent to Spokane, where it can be as
readily disposed of as at Seattle. The
local field is gradually being cleared
of 1t; but should any great prejudice
develop against it, some difficulty of
considerable proportion might result.
Whether American money has gone
to Canada in equal proportions to
take its place is not known here.
Matter of Technically.
The only embarrassment that
might result from too great a supply
of this Canadian coin would be of a
technical nature, and that is really
very unlikely to happen Should the
merchants and other people insist in
turning in all their Canadian coin to
the banks and retaining United States
small change, so stocking the institu-
tions up with the foreign money fast
er than they could dispose of it, and
then should a call for bank state
ment be made. local bankers might
have some exciting times balancing
their accounts, for in the eyes of the
treasury department, dimes and quar-
ters with the visage of Victoria and
Edward upon them are not real
money"
Of course such a state of affairs is
very improbable, in fact, it is almsst
impossible; but it is one of the things
that local bankers are thinking Of
when they have nothing else to wor-
ry about. In all probability. they
say, the Canadian money will all be
disposed of by the first of the year.
