mer Between Here and Skykomish

Grant Smith & Co., one of the big
contracting firms of the state, last week
received four new engines and lot Of
dump cars, rails and other railroad con-
struction material which they will en-
ploy in railroad improvement between
Leavenworth and Skykomish. They
have already several camps along the
right of way and have four hundred
men employed. This number will be
augmented until from seven to nine
hundred are employed in changing the
track in such a manner that the danger
from snowslides will be obviated next
winter. Where it is not possible to do
this concrete snowsheds will be built
in the most dangerous places and
wooden ones where the danger is not
great. Several miles of additional pass
ing track are to be built. Altogether,
vast amount of work is planned which
will cost over two hundred thousand
dollars.
DR.. Hoxsey has arranged with the
construction company to take care Of
its men.
In addition to the men employed by
Contractor Smith Mr.. Dalquist has had
large force OF men at work between
here and the tunnel since last fall Al
one point a cement bridge is to be
built across Mason creek and on top o.
the bridge a cement snowshed will be
constructed.

A SCENIC ROUTE
forestry Department and Settlers to Build
Trail from Mason Creek to Lake

The residents Of Mason Creek and
Wenatchee lake will cooperate with
the forestry people in building first
class trail from Mason Creek to Wenat-
chez lake just as soon as the matter
can be arranged. H. w. Otis, the
only owner Of private land thru which
the trail will run has agreed to donate
the land. There are other means OF
getting to the lake, but this scenic
route is sure to become as popular as
it is short.
Three miles Of mountain trail up the
Butcher river is all that is necessary to
make connection and insure the popu-
larity Of the lake equal to that of Lake
Chelan, where everything is on a
grander scale, but at the present time
is practically inaccessible.
Building the trail from a point near
the Cascade Gardens is planned, and
the Cascade Garden people are ready
to undertake the work.
The contract for the building Of a
depot at Mason Creek has been let and
work will commence at once. The

Mr.. Reynolds, owner of the townsite
at Mason Creek, returned from Wenat-
chez yesterday and says he sold ten
town lots to Wenatchee people this
week. On account of the fishing and
the proximity to the lake Cascade Gar
dens is sure to become a popular sum-
mer resort,

AttSul4Ou EdBlSS! meeting tonight
Dwight Darling and wife of Everett
spent last Sunday here as the guests Of
Mr.. and Mrs. L. J. Nelson.
Miss Payne, one of the teaches in
our public school, left Tuesday even
ing for Port Townsend, where her
mother resides, and will spend the va
cation time, returning in time for the
opening of school in September.
R. S. Ludington, prominent lawyer
Of Wenatchee, filed the pulpit in the
Congregational church last Sunday.
He had a good-sized congregation and
made most interesting talk, which is
only backing up a reputation he has
long since earned.
Frank Turner, who left this station
last fall to take charge Of the Wilson
Creek Office on the G. N, has been
promoted and returned TO Leavenworth
this week. He will be employed in
the railroad yard department. His
many friends here rejoice at his re-
turn and promotion.
Toney Blomeke has given up run
ming electric engines and returned to
his first love. Since the electric mo-
tors were put in commission at the
Cascade tunnel he has had charge Of
one but tired of the occupation and
has gone back to running a steam loco
motive. He will operate out of Leav-
enworth.
Our old friend w. P. Sears passed
thru here last Friday on his way to
Cashmere from Wenatchee lake, where
he had been visiting with his daughter,
Mrs. C. w. Wallace, and incidentally
looking after business. He never fails
to extend a friendly and encouraging
hand when coming our way. May his
shadow never grow less.
From Mr.. Jacobsen, manager of the
Tumwater Light & Water Co., this
paper learns that the statement made
in last weeks Echo on information
given by Peshastin parties that the
Leavenworth phone Office closed at six
o'clock, is wrong. Mr.. Jacobsen says
the central Office in Leavenworth is
open until 800 p. m. Mr.. Weigand,
who goes to Waterville every month,
says that town, with a population less
than this, maintains an all-night serv-
ice on a rate of one dollar per month
for private residences. So far this is
the best service and the lowest rate of
which we have heard in this state.
Clarence Campbell arrived here Wed
nesday from Seattle TO take the position
OF cashier in the Leavenworth State
Bank as soon as that institution is
ready to open for business. For some
time Mr.. Campbell has been employed
by the North Pacific Timber Co. Of
Seattle, where he resigned his position
to accept a position in the bank. Mr..
Campbel's family will be here just as
soon as he can procure suitable
house. His sisterinlaw, Miss Sadie
Skirving, will be here shortly to re-
sumo her old position as stenographer
in the big mill. Coming originally
from O'Neil, Nebraska, Mr.. Campbell
found lot OF old friends and acquaint-
ances in Leavenworth.

Our Jail seems to be about as safe as
a cob house. Three more delinquents
made their escape Monday night. The
marshal says the over-crowded condi-
ton of the Jail is responsible, there not
being enough room for all his boarders
in the cages, he is compelled to leave
some of those charged with minor
offenses in the run-around. From this
those who escaped Monday night made
their way thru the ceiling by way of a
hole the carpenters had left to get up
between the ceiling and roof and
thence out thru a blind window to the
ground.
Our old and valued friend, H. M.
Wall, who is just about as big as he is

month he will move his family to Sc
attic. He has a host Of friends here
who will be glad to know that he is

Uniforms for the Md Band

A. Brown of the Hub Clothing Co.
has been given the order for twenty-six
uniforms for the Kid Band. Thru the
public-spirited activity of F. A. Lose
kamp, that indefatigable worker for
everything that makes for progress and
improvement, $213.o5 was raised in
the short time of two days to help pay
for the uniforms. The total amount
necessary is $3.50, but the balance is
in sight and the uniforms have been
ordered. A number Of ladies contrib
uted to the fund, showing their gener-
osity and putting some men who re-
fused to contribute to shame.
The great hit made by the boys at
the reception to the Tacoma boosters
gave the movement start.
