THRU TUNNEL BY ELECTRICITY
One Passenger and Two Freight Trains
Put Thru Last Week - The
Power Satisfactory

Mr.. Robert Herzog wears a very
broad and satisfied smile these days.
The Great Northern power plant was
proved out last week and convinced
the engineer in charge that the plant
would do all that is expected Of it.
Nearly three years ago Mr.. Herzog
pitched his camp in the canyon, about
four miles from town, and began to
make the preliminary observations with
a view to the construction of an cleo
tric power plant to be used to operate
trains thru the Cascade tunnel. The
smile he wears won't come off. The
big electric plant was tried out last
week and gave entire satisfaction. Two
freight trains and one passenger train
was put thru the big bore by electric
power last week. By the time The
Echo goes to its readers this week all
trains will be operated by electricity.
Since the work first started on con-
struction OF the plant, twenty two
months have come and gone. For
almost one year Of that time three
hundred men were employed. The
total cost is considerably over one mil
lion dollars. While not all the credit
for the successful completion of the
plant belongs to Mr.. Hezog, he comes
in for large share of it. He stayed
with the job night and day, never losing
a day from the work unless called
away to attend TO some detail con-
nected with the job.
Mr.. w. S. Skinner represented the
designer of the plant and has been on
the ground over year, or ever since
the installation OF the electrical ma
chinery began. He had much, if not
all, to do with carrying out the details
Of the designer. He is much gratiied
at the success Of the big undertaking,
but this not being the first big job on
which he has been employed he wears
his honors lightly. He has gotten ac-
customed to them.
That this is only the beginning Of
other and greater electric power plants
in the state of Washington may be
taken for granted. 1t is likely that
other plants, similar to the one just
completed, will be built on the Wenat-
chez river between this place and the
tunnel.

The DAVIS Concert.

Thru a most regretable oversight
The Echo omitted to make mention
of the Davis concert which occurred
in the opera house on the 25th of
June. A very fair-sized but highly ap-
preciative audience attended the con-
cert. Ii was one OF the very best
musical entertainments ever listened to
in our town. Mr.. Davis and his tai
ented sister, Miss Leo Lodessie, have
musical talent Of high order, and are
perfectly at ease on the stage, an ac-
complishment that is partly natural
and in part acquired and never fails 10
add to the comfort of the audience.
To lovers OF music we confidently rec
ommend Mr.. Davis and his sister, who
put up the best two-people entertain
ment we have seen in a long time.
Miss Bessie Walker played the piano
accompaniment and delighted her
many friends. This was Miss Bessie's
first public appearance.

Last Sunday and Monday the Leav-
enworth Cubs again won from the Red
Apple team in two very spirited games.
Large and enthusiastic crowds attended
both games. We are unable TO give
a full account Of the game owing to
the fact that we were not supplied
with a score card OF the game. Next
Sunday the Leavenworth team viii play
Skykomish on their home diamond.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
Passed Off Very Orderly and Declared to
Be One of the Best EVer
Held Here

That the celebration passed on with
out hitch and was a decided success
is due largely to the committee having
the matter in charge. The day was an
ideal one. Saturday and Sunday had
been rather hot, but Sunday night the
temperature took a decided drop and
Monday morning opened cool and
pleasant, and remained SO all day.
A large crowd, estimated at over a
hundred, came up from Wenatchee on
the morning train. Cashmere and Pc
shastin were also well represented.
The log-rolling contest and the hose
cart race came off in the forenoon.
George Whitlow won the contest and
the team coached by w. J. Moon won
the race.
The first event on the afternoon pro-
gram was the tug-of-war, with eight big
men on one end against ten men on
the other. This event came of on
Front street, just opposite the depot,
and was won by S. E. Ritchie's bunch
OF huskies.
The boys race was won by Julius
Sadoske taking the first prize and Clar-
ence Huston the second. The Sados-
ke boy also won the pie-eating contest.
Mary Rust took the first prize in the
girls race and Snoda Smith the second.
The squaw race was won by two In
dian girls whose names we could not
obtain.
c. R. Belknap won the potato race
and took the first prize in the bag race,
while L. Williams won the second.
In the foot race c. R. Belknap took
the first prize and Charles Baily the
second.
H. L. Southwick and J. c. Davis
were entered in the fat mans race and
the honors and prize went to South
wick.
Clyde Shores horse took the pony
and the free-for-all race.
John Simons, an Indian, took the
300-yard horse race.
The broncho busting promised to
furnish sport for the crowd, but in
some way, while getting ready TO
mount, the bucker got away and
spoiled the game.
Following are the names of the gen
tlemen who managed the sport: Geo.
Keating, M. A. Marley, S. E. Richie,
R. T. King, o. L. Peterson and J. c.
Davis.
The fireworks were set of in the
evening at the foot of Ninth street, on
the river bank, and were enjoyed by
large crowd.
The day passed off without trouble
of any kind and if anybody had kick
ii was not made known. All had
good time and went home satisfied.

When any one says that he has been
overcharged in Seattle for rooms or
meals, it is just as well to inquire for
particulars. Where did he sleep and
where did he eat7 For months, the
Chamber OF Commerce Bureau has
been listing rooms in various parts OF
the city and is prepared to give direct
ions and to place visitors according to
their tastes. OF course, one may go to
the downtown hotels and pay down
town prices. These have not been in
creased since the opening Of the expo
sition. But many visitors do not want
to live in the business district, PREFER
ing to get up on the hills, where hotels
are just as good and in every way
more moderate in terms. Given the
high, fresh air of Queen Anne Hill, for
instance, with a widespread view over
the harbor and Puget Sound, and
beautiful Kinnear Park at the door, and
such places as the Chelsea and other:

1t is to be regretted that Governor
Hay could not retain the services Of A.
P. Sawyer as regent Of the Washington
State University at Seattle. Mr.. Saw
yer, being college man, has first
hand knowledge Of large educational
affairs and he was an important factor
in bringing the university to its present
high state Of efficiency. But the state
is to be congratulated that M. F. Back
us has agreed to take up the vacated
regency. AS president of the National
Bank OF Commerce, Of Seattle, Mr..
Backus has made a name for himself.
He is public spirited and interested in
the free school system, Of which the
university is the highest department.
Although he has never sought any
Office before, Mr.. Backus has agreed to
assume the responsibility Of regent.

lieved that he will recover. Mrs.
.Childs was thrown from the buggy
and was bruised about the body. but
her injuries are not serious. Two
smaller children were pitched from
the buggy but they were not injured.
Mrs. Childs had been on a visit to
her sister. Mrs. Clark Fortson, and
was returning home when the accl-
dent happened The road was dusty
where the buggy overturned. and this
fact probably saved the occupants
from more serious injuries. The
boys skull was fractured by striking
the bed of the buggy. DIR. +. ".

his condition was much improved to-
day Il Is believed he will recover.

four children: Mrs. William Walker,
Mrs. Hosle Quinn, Mr.. Gus Friant, OF

Applies to Government
and Sends Engineers
to Survey This Side
l. c. Shops Increase

Application for permission to erect
a bridge across the Ohio river has
been made by the Burlington railroad
TO the navy department, and all
doubt as to the connection of the
Illinois shore with the Kentucky
shore has faded away. This week a
Burlington buyer was In the city and
was talking to real estate dealers
about the purchase Of property on
the Kentucky side OF the river and
II was given out that the permit has
been asked for. Surveyors for the
Burlington have been working on the
Kentucky side and running lines for
the entrance of the road into Padu-
cab.
II Is said that the contract with
the Illinois Central railroad by the
Mobile & Ohio railroad for the use
of the bridge at Cairo will expire
January /. 1910. The Illinois Cen
trail, II is said does not desire to re-
new the lease, and the NJ. e o. may
transfer at Paducah until the bridge
can be completed.
Since the certainty of the Burling-
ton entering Paducah a number of
real estate men have received in
quiries about real estate and business
houses. Mr. A. l.. Parker. a business
man Of Golconda, H., is in the city
prospecting. He may open a general
merchandise store in the city.

Kenosha, Wis, July 22-Two men
were shot this morning in a riot at
the Allen tannery strike. Rioting is
still in progress. The sheriff has
wired for troops, but the governor is
reviewing the Third regiment at

mel Faux, of Milwaukee, has been
ordered to Kenosha to investigate

port to the governor this afternoon.
If troops are necessary in his opin-
ion they will be started tonight.

I. c. shop Increase.

Prosperity's smile broadened at the
Illinois Central railroad shops this
morning when Master Mechanic ]. H.
Nash returned from a staff meeting
at Memphis yesterday and announced
that the force OF the shops would be
increased Immediately by the addi-
ton Of 254 men. The additional
workers will be placed on the salary
list at once. and the pay roll for the
remainder OF July will be increased
$4,000 while he pay roll for the
month of August will be increased
$4,000. The men viii be placed at
work in the locomotive and car de-
partments. and will swell the number
of employees in the shops to $50 men.
The increase in business and the
general outlook for prosperous times
behooves the railroad company to get
its rolling stock in condition for
heavy hauling. At present the yards
are filled with bad order cars and
dead engines, but the large force will
make the idle engines and cars melt
away. The men are wanted quick,
and today the force was increased by
adding the men that called for work.
The increase will be almost equally
divided between the car and locomo-
tive departments In the locomotive
department employment will be
found for 1873 men while 1875 will
go to the car department. The in
crease Is for the entire Louisville
division, but Paducah practically will
reap the entire benefit, as only a few
men will be added at the other ter
minals of divisions. The increase
was general and VIII effect every
shop on the Illinois Central system.
In the round house. where the run
ming repairs are met. orders to in
crease the force are expected at any
time. This Is expected to be soon
as the business outlook is bright and
the freight business has showed signs
of Improvement. The increase in the
force will not be a furry, but the
men will be retained until the sur
plus OF work has been disposed OF.
This is the third Increase in the
force since the spring. About 900
men are employed before the increase
was made this morning.
