SMOKE THAT MAY MEAN FIRE
Long-TaIked-of Electric Line Wenstchee To
LeavenwOrth Again in Public Eye

George H. Ellis, E. M. Upper and
w. r. Prowell were appointed as q
committee to push the building Of the
Wenatchee-Leavenworth and Wenat-
chee-W -Waterville electric railway lines
at meeting of the Wenatchee Com
mercial Club. At the meeting there
was much enthusiasm manifested with
regard to these two lines.
A number Of good talks were made
along the idea Of benefits accruing
from electric lines and a motion was
made that committee be appointed
by the chair for the purpose Of securing
data and interesting capitalists in
building a road. DR.. Mccoy who had
just returned from Waterville, brought
a message from that city that Water
vile could be depended upon to CO.
operate with Wenatchee in Sc
curing the building OF the road. J. D.
Bonar, Waterville, states that $50, 900
had already been subscribed to the
building of road from Waterville to
Douglas, but he also stated that he
thought there would be no difficulty
at all in securing $150,000 for the
building OF the road to Wenatchee
instead of toward Douglas.
1t is a matter OF little doubt that the
proposed line connecting Leaven-
worth and other valley towns with We
natchee would aid materially in the
development OF the country. Trans
portation - easy, cheap, frequent,
quick-will build up a territory much
lower in natural resources than the
Wenatchee Valley.
Leavenworth should be a city OF To-
900 instead of 1900. 1t will be such
a city some fine day in the not too far
future. The site has been made by
Mother Nature, and she seldom makes
mistakes. The Echo hopes the resi-
dents of this place will promote the
building of the Wenatchee-Leaven-
worth line with energy, enthusiasm
and money.

themselves on a sandy foundation,
and when the storms come and the
winds beat upon this race, its house
will fall.
NO man Is SO politically independ-
enf as that man who has an assured
income and who can express his opin-
Ion untrameled. without fear OF being
reduced to want or bringing distress
to his loved ones. In the various
communities OF this country, the
Negro business men are more and
more becoming factors in the political
life OF the race. To these men the
temptation to be venal does not come.
They are above want. and can put the
temptation behind them.
Il would not have you understand
me to say that the possession Of prop
erty or money can take the place OF
an upright character. because venal-
ity in politics is not necessarily lim-
tied to the poor-however, removing
the necessity for yielding to tempta-
tion is q step forward toward the
publication OF politics.
The successful Negro business
man can stand out for all the rights
OF the race and uncompromisingly de-
mand that justice be done his people
This attitude when known by the
masses OF the people. but tends to
popularixe him. and his leadership
eventuates as consequence.
The next step is natural-that is
the demand Of his community or state
for consideration. These demands
accorded and his place as a leader
suggests his selection as the logical
sequence.
There are instances when these
successful business men, by reason
Of their diversified interests. have
found II necessary to decline posi-
tons Of trust and honor. In each
case these declinations have done the
race no harm, but have brought to
the notice Of the country. the pre-
eminent success with which the in
dividual. type Of the race has met
1T has followed almost invariably
that such men have been enabled to
ooapG pOiiCtce toI INC VSttct uieut vi
the race, and In some cases to sug-
gest who should represent the race
In such positions. This all demon
strates the power possible for the
Negro business man all over the
country.
We should emphasize this work.
We have long since learned that
racial development must proceed
along every line. exemplined In the
career Of the white race. The man
Of means who touches elbows with
his kind. regardless OF race. will re-
spect the display Of business acumen.
financial integrity and real worth Of
his associates.
Il am prepared TO unhesitatingly
and uncompromisingly commend your
work. and wish for you the support
and endorsement OF this community.
II this business league has for Its pur-
pose the building up of your present
enterprises and the formation Of new
ones: II Il shall have for Its aim the
accumulation Of realty holdings. and
the financial independence Of those
whom II seeks to benent, then no man
can reasonably oppose II. and every
man should encourage It."
