The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-05-12

The man who, having ears, can hear
the sound of the hammer and the rasp
of the saw, as mechanics are plying
their trade, in almost any direction he
may turn his head these spring days.
The clink of the mason's troWel and
the hoarse bawl OF mort" by the brick
layers and stone masons engaged on
the three substantial brick blocks now
under construction indicate degree Of
building activity which means growth
and prosperity. In every direction res
licences are going up. Just how many
are under construction we are not ad-
vised, but it is no exaggeration to say
since the advent OF spring not less than
25 have either been completed or are
in course OF erection. Many Of them
are of a commodious and substantial
kind.
AS limited last week, three, perhaps
more, brick business blocks will be
erected. Excavation work for the steel
plant buildings is being pushed as fast
as men and teams can do the work.
The big mill is running full blast in all
its departments. With the prospect Of
ground being broken at an early date
for the cement plant, the marble-sawing
plant and lime incinerator, why should
not our people have confidence in the
future OF Leavenworth? To add to
and supplement an industrial payroll of
100000 per month, we will have eight
or ten thousand acres of fruit land com
ing into bearing in a very few years.
All of these industries will support a
population of 10000 people. Yea,
more. Other industries will follow in
the wake of those now practically es-
tablished, and additional population will
follow as corollary.
That Leavenworth may become the
liveliest manufacturing city in the state
of Washington in few years is no iri-
descent dream. We have right here
all the raw material necessary for the
building up of manufacturing town.
The possibility of water power develop
ment-the cheapest on earth-thou-
sands of horsepower running past our
very doors. Only waiting for capital to
develop it The steel plant will harness
5000 horsepower less than 800 yards
from the town limits by damming the
'Wenatchee river. Work on this project
will begin in the fall, during the lowest
stage OF water. The power developed
will be used in connection with the op-
Grafton Of the steel plant.
Verify, the present prosperity and the
future outlook is something over which
the people Of this town may be truly
congratulated. And yet, when one con-
siders that all this prosperity was simply
forced on us because OF the natural ad-
vantages that abound here, and how
much more might have been accom-
plshed if we would work together for
the upbuilding Of the town, it makes
others marvel at our lack of enterprise,
as did the Wenatchee man to the writer
when he said if Wenatchee had the re-
sources, the payroll and many other
advantages that Leavenworth possesses
they would build town of $4,000 in
habitants in five years.

Paddock Makes Rogers Tell How He
 Slipped Bill in

Col. M. H. Rogers, chairman of the Paving and Sewer commission, ap- peared before the members of the Streets and Sidewalks committee at their meeting last evening explaining why it was desirable to have approv ed, the bill giving the commission more power. Col Rogers intimated that the real purpose of the amend mission power over the public service corporations so as to make them hur- ry along their street work.
 Col. Rogers declared that he was not the author of the bill, that it had been made up following consultations tor of public works. There is not the slightest intention to take any power away from the board of alder men," said Col. Rogers.
 Despite Col. Rogers explanation, the committee went on record as op- posed to any change and will go to Hartford to oppose any such meas ure. Alderman Daniel Walker fav- ored giving the commission power.
 Col. Rogers was asked by Senator Garry Paddock if the measure now before the assembly was the original Col. Rogers stated that the present bill was not the same as several seo- tions giving the commission power over bridges and the superintendent of street cleaning had been crossed out. The Colonel stated that he had put in an old copy containing these provisions crossed out because he did not happen to have a new copy. Sem ator Paddock stated that he had heard of the bill ten minutes after it had been slipped" to the chair man of the streets and boroughs committee. Col. Rogers explained that he had slipped the bill in among a number of others belonging to the committee so as to get it into a place of safe keeping.
 Senator Paddock then asked why the commission had taken upon itself, an appointive board, to put the bill before the legislature before it had been seen by anyone representing the elective body of the city. II I owe you an apology replied Col. Rogers. T am only too willing to offer 1t now."s
 Frank T. Staples, member of the commission, stated that the commis- sion did not desire to have the sphere of it's work enlarged, but that vested with more powers work of which the sooner. Director of Public Works M. A.. Kenny approved the measure.
 The committee, when the discus sion was closed, however, voted to go to. Hartford to oppose any meas ure giving the commission more DOW CT than they now enjoy.
