SHIPS TO BE BUILT IN SEATTLE
A Coast-to-C Coast Fleet Costing $t5,O00,-
900 to be Ready for Panama Canal

Seattle shipping and commercial
men, still dazzled by the mere descrip-
ton Of the 100000 reioiced in
new amazement recently an news from
Boston that construction will begin at a
very early date upon the fifteen steam
ships it is proposed to establish as a
Panama Canal line to connect New
York and Seattle. The announcement
came with the authority of the incor-
porators of the Atlantic & Pacific Trans
port company, the corporation organiz-
ed with the object of building the fleet,
and credence is given locally because
of the unquestioned stability and high
standing of these men.
The vessels which are to be OF the
highest class of their type will have a
speed Of at least sixteen knots and will
be built under supervision of officers OF
the United States Navy. They are to
be available for use as transports in
time of war and are to be so designed
that they will get big subsidy from
the government.
The organization of the line which
means so much for Seattle is the first
step in preparation for the commercial
use of the Panama Canal.
The mail contracts for which the
new company will bid requires that
steamships from New York to Colon
must stop at Charleston, S. c., or Sa-
vannah, Ca, while those departing
from San Francisco for the City Of Pan
anna must call at San Pedro or San
Diego, CAL, en- route and those leaving
Seattle must call at Astoria on the
southern voyages.
1t is the intention to extend all these
mail routes through the Panama Canal
and make complete trips from the ports
of the Pacific to those of the Atlantic
every week the year around. This will
make possible the opportunity for full
return cargoes without rehandling in
transit.
The extent of the traffic from coast
two years ago was estimated at about
5000, 900 tons, and as that was then
and is still increasing at the rate Of ten
per cent each year, this will mean a.
100000 tons by the time the canal is
ready for navigation by ocean-going
vessels.
Since water transportation costs so
much less than transportation by rail,
the natural advantage will be with the
new route across the isthmus, and the
organizers of the Pacific and Atlantic
Transport company anticipate the en-
joyment of full share of the benefits
that will be open to American COM
merce when the canal is completed.

In its treatment of the water ques-
ton The Echo has always contended
that the getting of water for domestic
use OF the town the most important
feature, in fact the controlling feature,
is purity. We have contended that
the present supply is not pure. In
the past year some thirty-odd children
most of them infants-have died here
from one cause or another. There is
pretty we'll founded belief that many
of these deaths were caused by impure
water. With the intention OF getting
some expression from the people OF
the town on this question we interview
ed all of the physicians and many OF
the householders, who have lived here
long enough to have a we'll founded
opinion, whose conclusions should
have some weight in this community.
In reply to the question, Do you
consider the water supplied to the resi-
dents of Leavenworth for drinking pur-
poses pure and wholesome2" DR..
Judah replied: It can not be pure.
l think the town should be supplied
with water that is above suspicion"
Dr. Hoxey, who has lived here for
many years, and in the employ Of the
GreatNorthern railway for twenty years
said: I do not consider the water
used here for drinking purposes as
pure as it should be and if obtained
from the source OF its present supply it
will become less pure as times goes on.
AS travel increases on the railroad and
the valley above the town is settled
up the danger from impure water in
creases."
H. x. Featherstone: I do not
consider the present water supply pure.

that such pressure will be brought to

PETER MCGILL PASSES AWAY
WeII-known Single Tax Advocate of We
natchee Died Last Saturday

Peter McGill, well-known in railroad
circles and also in North Central Wash
ington as an advocate Of the Henry
George single tax theory, died in We
natchee Saturday after a long illness
from cancer OF the stomach.
Several weeks ago Mr.. McGill was
taken sick on the train while on his
way to Monroe and stopped off here in
hope that the change of climate would
benefit his health, but as he did not
seem to improve he was taken back to
Wenatchee and placed in one Of the
local hospitals.
He had been resident Of Wenat-
chez for the past two years and had a
large circle Of friends thruout the
county.
While following railroad work for the
last 80 years, Mr.. McGill also became
prominent in politics in Wisconsin and
at one time was a candidate for mayor
OF Milwaukee.
During President Cleveland's second
term he was deputy collector Of United
States internal revenue at St Paul.
In railroad circles Mr.. McGill follow
ed telegraphic work most of the time,
serving many years in the capacity OF
train dispatcher.
Mr.. McGill was SIS years Of age and
has relatives living at Toronto, Canada.
The body was shipped Wednesday
to Toronto. Canada where two Of his
brothers reside.

WANT WENATCHEE VALLEY SOIL
Increasing Popularity of Our Fruit Creates
Demand for Experimental Purposes

In view of the increasing popularity
of Pacific Northwest fruits, growers in
other parts of the country intend to
find out the reason for their superb
ority. Accordingly, the Indiana State
Experiment Station has sent for twenty
five tons of Wenatchee soil. 1t will be
placed in the Hoosier state and plant
ed. If better results are obtained, it
will indicate that the Northwestern soil
is better suited TO apple culture, while
if the trees do not do better than those
in native dirt, the inference will be
that the difference is due to climate.

NOW IS THE TINE TO KICK {
With an Enormously Increased Valuation
Taxation is Still Going Higher

J. H. Brown, in the State Capitol
Record, deals out some figures on the
increase OF taxation. Fortunately Che
Ian county does not fall within the list
Of counties that proposes to increase
the tax rate. The article is worth read
ing as indicating the trend OF things.
Taxes levied this year will be much
higher than ever before unless taxpay-
get busy at once and force county
commissioners and other taxing officers
to reduce proposed estimates and cut
down the levies.
Now is the time to kick before the
levies are made. After the levies are
made it is too late. The commissioners
are justified in assuming if no kick is
made now the people want to pay
higher taxes.
Published estimates Of the various
counties show despite increases in val
uations this year, higher levies are pro-
posed. In some instances absolutely
illegal levies are proposed. Take Pa
cifc county for example. For 1910 its
levy was about 361a mills. This years
estimate will require a levy of forty
mills or more. This county's estimate
for the general road and bridge fund is
800, 900 half of which is to be used for
retiring part Of its illegally contracted
debt and the other half to pay bond
interest and for new construction. This
can not be legally done. The law
limits the levy for this fund to four
mills, or on present valuations about
S33, 200. A levy over the limit may
possibly be made legally of the IS 900
needed to pay interest on bonds. In
other words this proposed estimate is
about 1900 in excess Of that per-
mitted by law.
"Snohomish county estimates show
an increase in prospective levy of more
than three mills. Chehalis county
plans to levy S120, 900 county taxes
more this year than last, in addition to
probable increases in state school and
city taxes.
Mason county estimates show big
increases. In fact the road and bridge
fund estimate appears about $4,000
in excess of the legal four per cent
limit.
Lewis county levy if made on the
estimates will be at least two mills
higher.
"Jefferson's taxes will be twelve per
cent higher in 1911 than they were
last year.
And thus they 60 all down the line.
If it suits the taxpayers it is all right,
they are the ones whose money is to
be spent But if they do not like the
situation now is the time to protest
and to protest vigorously"

Expressions From Some of The Leading Consumers Of Water

the most dangerous source of all,

To the interrogation, DO you con-
slider the towns present water supply
pure and wholesome for drinking pur-
poset2" Dr.. Elmer replied: Good
Heavens, no. 1t lacks everything OF
being pure and must grow even less
pure every year so long as it comes
from its present source. 1t is quite
true that water will purify itself to some
extent. Some harmful impurities that
get into running water may in time
and thru the action of the water lose
its dangerous quality, but this is not
true of all disease germs. One of the
most dangerous and harmful Of all, the
typhoid disease germ, retains its deadly
virility in water, and even in ice, for an
indefinite period of time, and becomes
active when it gets into the human sys-
TEN. l would favor water from Snow
creek even if it cost more than our
present water costs. The general
health of town outranks every other
consideration. 1t can not be put in

aged economically and prudently, why
under municipal ownship it should
cost more"

CHtLAN COUNTY TEACHERS
Among Best Paid in State-Men Average
S100.35; Women, $74.93

According to figures recently given
out by the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction it is shown that in Che
Ian county during the school year end
ing June 80, 1911 there were main
tanned 141 department or school rooms
and to teach these rooms 156 teachers
were employed, Of which number 38
were men and 118 were women teach
ers. The average salary paid 10 men
teachers in Chelan county is shown at
$100.35 per month which is a larger
average salary than is paid in any
other county Of the state except King
county where the average for men
teachers is $121.1o. The average
salary paid women teachers in Chelan
county is $74.o3, which is a higher
salary than that paid to women teach
ers in any other county except Walla
Walla county. In the State Of Wash
ington in 1911 there were maintained
1924 departments or school rooms,
and a total of 1889 teachers were en-
ployed, of which Gill were women
and 1,478 were men. The average
salary of the men teachers for the state
is $85. and Of the women $66.25.

The attorney general has given an
opinion TO the state industrial insur-
ance commission to the effect that in
setting aside the money collected from
employers whose workers are engaged
in non-hazardous occupations into a
separate fund, that they acted accord
ing to law. He says the moneys paid
by the employers of hazardous labor
and those OF non-hazardous labor should
not be mixed or one compelled to pay
the losses of the other.
The state tax commission has held
in an opinion to the assessor Of Stevens
county that state land held under con-
tract is to be assessed as if the holder
Of the contract owned it. 1t is not to
be assessed upon the basis of his inter
est in it. The tax commission says
that point has been decided many
times by the supreme court and the
holder OF contract land for assessment
purposes is treated as the owner of it.
That the state board OF control is fol-
lowing out the idea of purchasing sup

by the fact that their bids on sugar for

cheese are also bought at prices rang
