fWO INCIDENTS.

Patrolman Sweeney Of Brock ave
nue.. New York city. saw thief COM
Ing out Of bakery. The robbsr car
ried his swag under bis arm.
Sweeney grabbed the man and took
his plumber away from him. Mean.
time the owner of the bakery stood
In the doorway crying Justify. "Pinch
himr'
The bundle was opened. and Sweeney
found two loaves OF bread.
And then and there Patrolman
Sweeney deliberately violated the laws
made and provided. he did not ar
rest the thief.
Patrolman Edward Sweeney, flne
Irish cop that be 10, reached down
into his pockets for 10 cents. And
then-glory be-he paid the baker for
the stolen bread and sent the hollow
checked man straight home to his
starving family.
Any stickler for law enforcement
viii tell you that it was Sweeney's
duty to drag the man to jail and let
the family starve.
Louis Bailey Of Chicago was raw
enously hungry. He stole 3 cents
worth OF doughnuts. A patrolman
caught him red handed-sitting on q
park bench eating the stutf. He was
taken to the police station. But
On the bench was a judge with q
heart in him.
Said Municipal Judge SABBATH to
Bailey: you look like q good man.
and It 10 hard for a good man to 60

I'm going to send you to tho bride
well fo- two days. They viii give
you all you can eat. Then they viii
bring you back here. and will send
you to 4 man who has AGREED to give
you q job You must work hard and
make good. then you win not need to
steal something to eat"
Did Sweeney do right when he paid
the baker and let the man go back to
his family with the bread7
Did Judge SABBATH do right when he
gave Bailey q nominal sentence. got
him q job and gave him good advice?
There's nothing In the laws telling
them to do this.
But Sweeney knew his man was not
Q criminal. but good man out Of work
and with a starving family. And
Judge SABBATH knew. every normal man
would prefer to earn hin bread rather
than to steal It
Therefore
In both these cases practical good
sense and humane feeling were joined
to q broad comprehension OF duty and
justice was tempered with mercy.
Give us more Judge Sabaths and
Patrolman Sweeneys.

RICH COPPER STRIKE MADE
Ore Specimens from Glacier Peak Co.'S
Property so Per Cent Copper

One of the richest copper strikes
ever reported in the state Of Washing
ton was recently made on the Glacier
Peak Mining company's property at the
head Of Buck creek, about sixty miles
from here, says T. B. Wright, one of
the stockholders.
Mr.. Wright, who now makes his
home in Rosyln was down fiom the
mines Tuesday and had a number of
specimens of the ore which ran better
than so per cent copper. He says
that about 500 feet of tunnel work has
been done on the property and that
there seems to be an unlimited amount
Of the ore.
German capitalists have been inter-
ested and their representatives, are ex
pected here sometime this month to
make an examination of the property.
Several large offers have been made for
the claims, but it is said to be the in
tention of the company to develop its
own property. The Glacier Peak
claims are located about two miles the
other side of Red mountain, where the
Chelan Consolidated claims are located.

Taken Sick On Train

Peter Magill, a devoted follower oi
Henry George, train dispatcher by
occupation and good fellow and lover
of his fellow man by divine right, got
off west bound train here about a
week ago while on his way to friends
in Monroe, Wash, Peter has been
failing in health for the past year and
was on his way to the west side to es-
cape the heat when he was taken quite
sick and intended to stop off here a
day or two and rest up before resum-
ing his journey. He seemed to get
worse and by advice of the doctor he
was taken to Wenatchee hospital
Tuesday afternoon, where it is our sin
cere wish that he may speedily re-
cover his wonted health and vigor.

An unusual amount of interest is
taken in the new proposed highway
across the Cascade mountains advoca-
ted by L. S. Tito henal of Cashmere.
Two weeks ago this paper printed a
story about the road and since then
numerous inquiries have reached the
office.
Opinion seems to be divided be-
tween the Snoqualmie Pass route and
the one by way of Cascade tunnel.
County Engineer Berry believes that
the route by way of the Snoqualmie
pass would be preferable as it would
be less expensive, statement which
is open to question.
We are inclined to the belief that
the road by way of the Cascade tunnel,
using the abandoned switchback grades
of the Great Northern railway would be
the best in the end. The longer
mileage in this county would result in
more travel by way of this city and
the benefits therefrom cannot be over
estimated.
At present engineers from the state
highway commissioners Office are sur
veying route over the Cascade noun
tains which will connect the Yakima
country with Puget Sound and it is
said that that route would be far more
expensive than the one by way of the
tunnel.
If the automobile owners and good
road enthusiasts of Chelan county
would contribute small amount fund
could be made up and an engineer

STEEL PEOPLE GETTING BUSY
Buildings Practically Complete This Week.
Work on Dam to Begin Soon

The main buildings for the Washing
ton Steel and Iron Co., which have
been under construction for the past
two months are almost completed.
The finishing touches will be put on
this week. A lot of steel sheeting
which was necessary to complete the
covering arrived the first of this week.
o. P. Moore, secretary and treasur-
er OF the company spent several days
here last week when he and the gen.
eral manager, Mr.. Rothert, met and
were in conference with representatives
of the Puget Sound Dredging Co. and
other engineering companies who con-
template bidding on the proposed
power plant which the company will
erect near the site of their steel plant
this fall and winter. One of the repre-
sentatives OF the Seattle contractors re-
marked that his company would con-
tract to have the dam and power house
completed inside of four months.
The plans for the entire project will
be ready for the inspection of the con-
tractors in short time when the con-
tract will be let and work begin at once.

A Story With a Moral

AS convincing evidence of what can
be done here in the way of raising veg
etables the following evidence came
under the reporters observation this
week. ]. o. Hawk, at one time pastor
of the Methodist church at this place
and who is again to take charge of the
church, has been living on piece OF
land near Peshastin the past year, fol-
lowing his calling irregularly during the
time he was setting out trees and culti-
waiting them. He planted half-acre
of potatoes between young trees from
which he has already sold $125 worth,
used some in his own family and has
yet some on hand. We, may unwilling
y be doing Brother Hawk an injury.
Some of his parishioners may come to
the conclusion that minister who can
do so we'll between his trees and his
duties as minister can get along with
out their obligated stipend. If SO, we
hasten to aver that minister with so
much energy and pluck is deserving OF
double pay in the service of the Lord.

years at an annual rental of 81, 500,
the Snow Creek Water Co., is to build
at its own expense wooden flume
from Snow Creek to reservoir located
about mile from the city. The
reservoir the pipe line from there and
the distributing system is to be built
by the city at its own expensive, we
will have a system therefore the own
ership of which is divided between
municipal and private corporation.
Here you have co-partnership whose
interests and methods of business from
the very nature of things can never
be harmonized, one selling its goods
at a great profit, the other the same
goods at cost.
The city can own its part of the
water system as long as it desires to do
so, but it can control the other part of
the system only for 10 years when the
supply end of the system may be clos
ed to it at the will of its partner.
The town will then be forced to do
one of two things, buy out its partner
at his own figure( (unless different a.
greement is made now or pay the

asked until such time as the city could
build its own supply system. That

being a legel question hope some
attorney will answer. The town coun-
Gil in the near future will ask the
voters to consent to a bond issue Of
$4,000 which it claims is approx
mately the amount of money it will
take to build the towns part OF the
proposed new water system. l hope
later on in this series of articles to
prove to you not only beyond any rea-
sonable doubt but beyond any doubt
whatever, that the system can be built
from Snow Creek into town also dis

the city the sole owner Of the whole

Death of Chas. w. Lancaster

c. w. Lancaster who has made Lea
venworth his home for the past five
years, died Sunday evening about 9
o'clock from heart failure.
He had been i'll for the past week
and had complained of pain in his
chest but did not consider it serious
enough to quit his work. Sunday eve-
ming feeling worse he had laid down.
His wife on entering the room later
on in the evening heard him gasping
and sent for DR.. Hoxsey but he was
beyond medical attention when the
doctor arrived.
Mr.. Lancaster was 81 years OF age
and had been in the employ OF the
Leavenworth Furniture & Hardware
Co., for several years. Beside a wife
and daughter, Mrs. Paul Van De Grit
Of this place, he leaves two sisters and
brother who resides in New York
city. The funeral was held from the
Congregational church Thursday after
noon.

Former Wheat King Here

w. H. Babcock. for many years
known as the Walla Walla wheat king,
was here the first OF the week. He
has owned a section of land on the
head of the Chumstick, about ten
miles from Leavenworth, a number of
years, but has never seen it. Owners
of real estate in this vicinity are wax
ing up to the fac. that they have valua-
BILE property. Mr.. Babcock said to a
reporter for this paper that he has
practically abdicated as wheat king
and now spends his winters in Los
Angeles, California.

Road via LeayenwOrth, Merritt and Cascade Tunnel Believed
Practical by Boosters
WOULD Be OF GREAT BENEFIT TO LFAvENWORTH
The Proposed Tunnel Route Would Bring TOURISTS Pleasure Seekers, Etc. by
Way of The ChumstiG Valley and Would Do Much
Toward Developing This Section

hired to make estimates of the tunnel
route. In this way the attention of
the state highway commission might
be more easily secured.
There would be a considerable a.
mount of work to be done to complete
this road and it might be quite expensive
but still not as much SO as some of
the routes that have been mentioned,
and when completed it would make an
excellent highway.
The proposed road would go north
from Leavenworth by way of theChum-
stick valley to Lake Wenatchee then
back to Woodspur north of Chiwaukum
following the railroad to Merritt, where
a new road probably three miles in
length would have to be built to con-
meet with the switchback.
Quoting from the World, Percy
Scheble. one of Wenatchee's leading
boosters says,
Il am decidedly in favor of the tun-
mel route for a trans-Cascade road,"
said Percy Scheble. AFTER hearing the
suggestion of L. H. Titchenal of Cash
mere for the road to go up past Lea
venworth, Merritt and follow over the
Cascades on the old right of way, I
took occasion to walk over the entire
route and while it will cost some
money. I believe it will be more sat
isfactory to Chelan county than the
Snoqualmie pass route. would like
to see practical survey made of it.
Though am no Surveyor yet l believe
that the route is entirely practical"

New Mineral Discovered

Jerry Goodness, an old miner and
prospector, was here Tuesday dis
playing a valuable piece of gold ore
taken from the Rex mine where he
worked for time. The Rex properties
are in the vicinity of Entiat and are
owned by Wenatchee people.
Mr.. Goodness says he worked six
teen days for the company and took
out over thousand dollars in gold, un-
assisted, during that time. He recent
ly discovered deposit of molybdenum
which he says may prove to be very
valuable.

Although there are many fires to be
seen in all directions particularly west
of the Cascades now, State Fire War
den Welty announces the most of
them are slashing fires, as this is the
time of year when the settlers burn
their rubbish. The season has been
remarkably free from seric Is fires and
up to this time the loss of timber has
been little more than nominal.
