can victory that was ever achieved IN
CheIan county since it was organized.
Following is the comment referred to:
Deed H. Magyar, Chslan county
member Of the state central committee,
and Frank c. Lemon, chairman Of the
county central committee, did good
work for repu0Hcanism in the county
this year. But one Office vas lost on
the republican county ticket, and that
vas not because 4 mistake was made II
the choice OF the republican nominee;
but because Nj. Gilman had 4 hard
mar to beat in County Treasurer c. A.
Battles. Mr.. Battles has conducted the
t~reasurer's Office with efficiency for one
term, and the voters felt he deserved
a second term. Great credit is due
the central committee because it has
achieved signal success with the ez-
penditure Of very little money"

Autos for Fighting Fires

The economy of using the automobile
for fre-fghting apparatus is given sub
stantial Endorsement by the New York
FIRE department. Not only ear the auto
carry twice as much as the horse-drawn
apparatus, but it can get to the fire in
about half the time. The greater
economy Of the automobile over horses
is far more obvious in the case of fire
apparatus than in most other uses.
The auto fire engine involves expense
only when in use and that is infrequent,
while horses have TO be fed and shod
whether they run to fires or not. For
outlying districts and country towns
the fire auto is invaluable.

MISCELLANEOUS

Mrs. Mary c. Moore of Lake Chelan
died recently, the funeral being held
November 4. Mr.. and Mrs. J. Robert
Moore settled on the homestead in
1890, where they built up one of the
lakes popular resorts at Moore's Point.
Uncle Henry Miller Of Chelan has
gone for an all-winter visit with rela-
tives and oId-time friends in Nebraska
and other Mississippi valley states, and
his trip will probably be extended south
to Texas. Uncle Henry made the same
trip three years ago, and believed then
it would be his last.
The Chelan municipal election will
be held Tuesday, December 6. A
mayor, four ~councilmen and a treasurer
are to be elected. The retiring coun-
cilmen are: E. Weber, o. F. Dickson,
D. J. W. Murdoch and S. E. Phillips.
a. B. Oppenheimer Of Milwaukee
has purchased ten acres Of the Chelan
Butte Orchard tracts. The price paid
$500. Mr.. Oppenheimer thinks
he can interest many more people in
the fruit lands of this section.
c. L. Green, w. NJ. Green, William
Tediord, A. c. Tedford, G. J. Tedford,
T. J. Black, John Scott, G. W. Farrell

The Achievements of Wireless

The most notable accomplishment Of
wireless t~elegraphy was, and will prob
ably long continue to be. the saving Of
1000 lives on the sinking steamer Re
public. Other disasters Of only lesser
magnitude have been averted by the
same means.
The more recent event Of locating a
noted European criminal on board an
ocean liner is of small moment. He
would have been caught without II By
an officer, who sailed on a faster boat
in anticipation Of meeting him.
Commercially the wireless system is
proving of great importance in estab-
fishing communication with ocean
going vessels between each other and
the shore. We hear little Of this phase
of the business, for tits not sensational
or pictorial, but it is in this direction
that the system finds its greatest de-
velopment.
Il has made no inroads as yet upon
the business done by telephone and
telegraph between different points on
land. It's limitations are still too great,
but with greater improvement and more
extended trial there may prove to be an
extended field for it in this direction.

The results Of the election could not
De called surprising in view Of the ap-
p~arently settled conviction everywhere
that there would be 4 democratic house;
but the extent Of the landslide surprised
even the democrats. Whether their
claims that Col. Roosevelt has lost his
influence in view Of the result Will be
borne out by events IS an open ques-
ton. There is a good deal Of talk
about the effect Of the change on leg
islation, but It may not 5e amiss to
remind people generally that the com
ing session Of congress will be the same
in character as the one which ended last
summer. None Of the newly elected
members will take his seat until a year
from this December, 50 that President
Taft will still have q chance to put thru
some Of his legislative policies before
March 4 next. The certainty that he
will Try to do so makes it highly proba-
bic that the coming short session will
be I OIL the l~iveIiest the country has
E for years. What the democratic
majority may be able to do when it gets
hold Of the reins remains to be seen.

Highway Commission and State-Ald Law

The state-aid road law has been
practically condemned by every county
commissioner in the state because Of
its absurd, not to use a term very much
more harsh, provisions, under which
the commissioners must put up half
the money and turn it over to be ex-
pended under the direction Of the state
highway board, a slow-moying, cumber-
some, expensive piece Of legal ma
chinery.
When the engineering work on a
state road is completed the money set
aside for that particular road is just
about exhausted, and the work stops
until there is another apportionment.
Just so are the county funds FILTERED
away under the direction Of the state
highway board. More than a half
million dollars is every year wrung from
the taxpayers under the state highway
law and the state-aid road law, and
what is there to show for it? An orna-
mental highway commissioner and a lot
Of his friends drawing fat salaries for
going over work which had previously
been well done by an efficient county
engineer.
The Office of highway commissioner
should be abolished and the state high

Municipal Owned Water Supply

On the Sd day Of December voters
within the corporate limits Of the town
Of Leavenworth will have an opportu-
nifty 10 express themselves on the prop
osition Of issuing s45 900 in bonds to
pay for 4 municipal water supply. That
public ownership Of the water supply,
Lighting or street car system Of a own
is superior to privztely-owned public
utilities IS SO well established It does
not admit Of argument. Wherever It
has been tried, and the affairs Of the
public have been honestly administered,
It has proved more satisfactory and
cheaper-vastly cheaper.
AlI-privately-owned systems are run
with the single purpose Of making the
public pay all that IS possible to wiring
out Of it. To prevent opposition the
owners resort to bribery and corruption
of the public officials. This is the
history Of priyately-owned corporations
that supply our towns and cities with
water, light and transportation, with
scarcely IN exception.
Privately = owned water, light and
transportation companies are the Tester
ing sores in every town and city where
the condition exists. Seattle owns its
water system, considered the best, pur-
est and cheapest service in the United
States. Tacoma owns its water and
light system and. while it is not the
best, the service is very cheap.
The public pays in these two
cities from one-third to one-half
what the citizens pay for the same
service in Leavenworth, and the service
is better, with SO far no charge Of cor
ruption or waste in the light and water
departments Of the cities named.
Where the public owns the light and
water plant, and it is honestly and eff
GENTLY managed, the highest object
sought to be attained is the very best
service at the least cost to the con-
sumers. Where municipal ownership
has been tried, and the above condi-
tons have been Appropriated, it has
invariably proved a success.
The Tumwater Light and Water Co.
supplies the people of this town with
water and light. The principle upon
which it is operated does not differ
from every other privately owned cor
poration. The public is made to
pay all it will stand for both water
and light. The editor Of The Echo
was told by one who pretends to know
that if the bonding proposition pre-
vailed the consumers will be punished
by having the rate doubled or trebled,
as may be found necessary, to furnish a
convincing object lesson to the public
that corporations do not tolerate inter
ference with their methods Of doing
business.
For these, and other reasons that We
have not now the time or space to
enumerate, it is here commended that
if a municipality owned water sys-
TEN is honestly and efficiently man
aged the water supplied to the
people Of Leavenworth under public
ownership could be im~measurably i'm
proved in quality and cheapened in
price. The voters have only to decide
can a plant be built and operated with
out graft, and managed with somewhat
the same care that a prudent man man
ages his private affairs. This is the
one and only question involved in de-
Gliding whether to vote for the bonding
proposition.

Tidwell of Charleston, :. c., at the
