Is leayenwOrth a Good Town! You Bet!

To the man with money, seeking
profitable investment, we say, there is
fifty thousand horse power in our
mountain streams waiting for the man
with money to develop it.
In round numbers Leavenworth is
one hundred miles from Puget Sound.
Has a salubrious climate. Mild winters.
Plenty of sunshine and picturesque
surroundings. Everybody employed
and prosperous. Growing to beat the
band.
Can you beat it2
Everybody is so we'll satisfied that
few contribute to the support of the
commercial club which is trying to
make the town better. Evidently too
selfish to share their prosperity with
others. A short time ago, in spasm
Of generosity, seventeen hundred dol
lars were raised to support a ball club
in half that many hours. She's funny
town. But she's sure good one for
business. Just ask some one who's
been here.

Impure Water Causes Typhoid Fever

Numerous complaints have come to
this office the past ten days about the
quality OF the water that is being served
to the Leavenworth patrons OF the
Tumwater Light & Water company.
Some of the physicians have said if
there is not an outbreak of typhoid be-
fore the summer is over it is due to
some miraculous bit of good luck.
On one point there is no division OF
opinion among physicians. Impure
drinking water is the cause of more
fevers than all other agencies combin-
ed. In the very nature of things it is
impossible to obtain water from the
Wenatchee river that is not, or may not
be contaminated with death dealing
impurities. For twelve miles above
the point where the water supply has
its source the trains of the Great North
ern railroad run along the banks OF the
river. 1t is but natural to believe that
of the hundreds of passengers who use
the closets every day some are affected
with typhus or some other loathsome
disease. Everything that is dropped
along the twelve miles above where
our water supply has its source newt
ably finds Judgment in the Wenatchee
river, and it would indeed be miraculous
if some disease germs did not find its
way into our water pipes.
Recently, pieces Of dead fish, slime
and other ill smelling and disgusting
looking stuff has been taken-from the
water pipes by users in this town. Dead
fish and other stuff that was found in
the water pipes may not contain typhoid
germs, is quite true, but they suggest
other really dangerous substance. II
our drinking water contains this nause-
Gus substance, the question quite nat
urally suggested to our mind, what
may it not contain" is disquieting.
The council has under consideration
proposition looking to a supply oil
drinking water from Snow creek. Wat
er from this source would be as pure as
it is possible to get it. The water
shed of this stream is almost inaccess-
ible. 1t would be almost impossible
to pollute it. Every householder ii
this town, having in mind the health o.
his children, will agree with US when
we say to the council-speed the day
that gives US pure water to drink.
