Cost of Exporting Books

A examination of the record OF the
CITY of Leavenworth under the super
vision of the state bureau Of inspection
will cost 5000 according to the bureaus S
estimates of the cost of exporting the
records of the various counties and
cities in the state prepared by the re-
spective taxing boards in compiling
their budgets. 1t will cost $400 to
expert the books Of Chelan county ac-
cording to the estimate. The cost for
Wenatchee is also fixed at 5000 while
Cashmere and Chelan the cost is plac-
ed at 500 each.
The highest estimate of cost for a
county, 5000, goes to King county,
while several counties are placed at the
minimum, 5000. Among the cities
the greatest cost is accredited to Sc
attle, being $4,000. From this amount
the figures for cities drop to $1,5O0
each for Spokane and Tacoma and
thence downward to $25 for the small
est municipalities.

The Proposed Highway

The proposed Stevens Pass highway
is receiving favorable consideration in
Everett, and County Commissioner
Tom Fleming claims to be the origina-
tor of the idea, and says he has been
working more than a year to interest
Chelan county people in the PROPOSE
tionr Many people would like to see
state road built from Index up the
north fork of the Skykomish, through
Cady Pass and down the Wenatchee
river. In some respects this would be
better route than the Stevens Pass
way. Anyway, within the next year or
two there will be an across-the-moun-
tains highway leading out Of Index up
one or the other of the forks of the Sky
komish, and in the not far distant fu-
ture there will be a railroad through
Cady Pass. .-Iudex News.

1T PAYS TO USE IRRIGATION
As Proof of the Assertion One of Our Sub
scriberS Gives His Experience

L. S. Allies, who cultivates a FIVE
acre tract adjoining the town on the
north, was in our Office within the past
few days and left half-dozen ears of
the finest green corn that ever came
under the observation of the writer.
He also says he is shipping 500 dozen
ears to Everett every week where they
find ready sale. Last week he receiv-
ed letter from Calgary, Canada, with
two dollars inclosed, to pay for a sack
Of green corn. The express charge
was $3.50, in addition to which there
was duty to pay. The party told Mr..
Allies that there was an unlimited mar
ket there for all kinds Of produce. Mr..
Allies added that he told his customer
that he feared it would all taste too
strong of money to develop into an ex-
port industry at present.
Speaking of his experience in raising
corn, he said that one-half his corn
field was irrigated one time, just as it
came into tassel, and that while the
unirrigated portion produced good corn
the irrigated part would fully double it
in production, which goes to show, he
says, that it pays to irrigate.

Figures just given out by Secretary
E. ]. Koors OF the state tax commits
sion show that the assessed valuation OF
all property in the state Of Washington
for 1911 will be $o50,OO0, 900, COM
pared with 5000, 100000 in 1910.
The real estate as equalized by the
various county boards is $692,838, 900
and the personal property $119,737,-
900, while the steam railroads, street
car companies and telegraph lines
whose valuations are to be fixed by the
state will probably reach $137, 900, 900.
The increase is about three per cent

RUSHING WORK ON NEW ROAD
Contractors Are Rushing Work On South
Side Road-Ready for Use In Sixty Days

County Engineer Berry was in our
office Wednesday. He says the con-
tractors on the south side road have
begun work on both the rock and earth
work portion of the south side e.road be-
tween here and Peshastin and that the
earth work portion would likely be
completed in thirty days but that the
work on the rock bluff would require
two months. At the present time "a
bout one hundred feet OF the rock
work on the west end of the bluff is
completed, which gives good idea of
what the road will be when completed
in its entirety. 1t will, says MIR.
Berry, be wide enough for wagons to
pass each other at any point. Mr..
Courtright has charge of the earth
work and is making very satisfactory
progress. The rock work, it will be
remembered was sublet by the Eagle
Transfer Co. to an Italian contractor,
who, Mr.. Berry says is rushing the
work so as to get ii completed before
winter sets in. The money available
will not permit of the completion of
the entire, road but will be exhausted
when point about half mile west OF
the rock cut is reached, from that
connection with the old road will be
made so as to permit of the use of the
completed portion which will take place
of that part of the old road which had
steep grades and caused the long de-
tour. In short the most important
and desirable portion of the south side
road will be ready for use when the
contractors complete their job.

creased rate on business houses and
other large users of water will pay for
the administration and upkeep of the
system, thus giving the public cheaper
water, and what is of vastly greater i'm
portance, absolutely pure drinking
water. In this calculation the increas-
ed benefit from more complete fire
protection resulting from the installa-
ton of additional fire hydrants in the
residence district, is not taken into ac-
count.
It is conceded by all persons who
have given the matter consideration,
that the building and equipping of
water system that would give fire pro-
lection throughout the town would en-
hance the value of real estate outside
OF the present fire protection limits, and
inasmuch as the real estate itself is to
pay for the building of the water sys-
tenn, it could not be expected that a
private company would extend its lines,
increase the capacity of its pipes, and
60 to greater expense in installing fire
hydrants without reasonable compensa-
tion, and if that expense should be
added to the present water rsteSs.the-
water users of the town of Leavenworth
would raise considerable objection.
Under the proposed plan, all proper
ty would pay its proportionate share OF
the expense of installing new plant
whether occupied or not, thereby COM
pelling the owners of vacant property
who are getting the benefits of the i'm
proved system, as well as nonresident
property owners, to pay their reason
able share of the expense.
That some amicable agreement could
not be reached with the Tumwater
Light & Water Co. under which the
town could have taken over their dis
tribution system, will be regretted by
every fair-minded citizen of the town.
The price put upon it was considered
out of proportion to its value to the
town in view of the fact that all their
pipes will have to be replaced with
pipe of larger dimension to supply
water for domestic use and fire pur-
poses. To further complicate the mat
ter their offer to sell the system for
$18, $4,000 carried with it the proyiso
that the town grant the company a
long term, unconditional franchise to
use the streets and alleys for erecting
light and telephone lines.
The LambDavis Lumber Company
and the Tumwater, Light and Water
Company are closely connected, the
same men control both companies.
The Lamb-Davis Lumber Company is
an important factor in the growth, de-
velopment and prosperity Of the town.
For that reason, it was hoped that a
satisfactory agreement could be reach
ed for the purchase by the town Of its
distributing water system, in order
that the amicable relations that have
heretofore existed between the com
pany and the town should continue.
Every fair-minded man within the
town wishes the company prosperity
and success in all Of its legitimate un-
dertakings, and he who does not is
shortsighted, to use the mildest ex-
preston at our command, but the
town with its water situation is con-
fronted with a condition and not a
theory and it could not have taken
any other course with proper consider
alton for the best interests of its resi-
dents.

Washington's last legislature passed
a law authorizing the establishment of
port districts and providing for three
commissioners to administer their affairs.
Seattle is the first constituency in the
state to take advantage of the measure,
in its efforts to create a model harbor
on Puget Sound. The commission is
given broad powers to plan improve
ments, raise money to execute them
and to regulate traffic affairs. Any
city, town or county in Washington can
avail itself of this law. In view of the
approaching completion of the Panama
Canal, this act makes it possible for
local activities of preparation to get the
benefit OF the great waterway.

1900. At an adjourned meeting oil
the council held August IL, the same
company submitted an amended pro-
proposition agreeing to supply the
town with 100000 gallons every twen-
ty-four hours. The town to pay the
first year $4,000; the second yeal
$500; the third year $1,000; the
fourth year 50, 500; the fifth year $4,000,
and $4,000 every year thereafter until
the expiration of twenty years. Fur
ther agreeing to supply the town at
any time up to one million gallons pei
day at the annual payment of $500
for each one thousand gallons in ex-
cess of 100000. Making the stipula.
ton to sell the town the pipe line, right
Of way and water right after the ex-
piration Of ten years for lump sum ol
$50, 900 in cash.
The Snow Creek Water Co. filed its
bid August 8 and supplemented it with
a very simple proposition filed at the
adjourned meeting on the 18th, in
which it proposed to supply the town
with water from Snow creek through q
closed conduit, to be approved by the
council, at the rate OF two cents pei
thousand gallons, with a minimum
charge OF $4,000 per year, and one
and one-half cents per 1000 gallons
for all over 500, ,000 per day up to 1,000,-
900. The contract to be in force for five
years, after which time the town could
extend the time in periods Of five ten,
fifteen or twenty years at the same rate.
After celebrating over the two prop
ositions the council decided to accept
the one submitted by the Snow Creek
Water Co.. believing it to be the most
advantageous for the town under all
the circumstances.
In taking its water from Snow creek
the town is assured Of getting as neal
pure water water as it is possible to gel
in this world. tits not only pure tc
begin with but practically free from
possible contamination in the future
for the reason that its source is in a re.
gion almost inaccessible to man. This
fact is so well known that no one ha:
doubts on this point.
At the regular meeting of the coun.
Gil Tuesday night, Engineer c. H
Green, Of Seattle, consulting engineer
and designer Of the reservoir and the

present, the council heard the first

Interest in Big Tunnel Revived-lncreased
Mineral Output From Alaska

Transcontinental railroads are inves-
tigating the feasibility of piercing the
Cascade mountains with 32-mile tun-
mel, so as to be able to reach Puget
Sound on a sea-level grade. Some
years ago, General H. M. Chittenden,
U. S. A. Engineer Corps, proposed this
project as the solution for eliminating
the expensive haul over the mountains.
At the time it was considered an i'm
probable, because of the estimated cost,
which is SIS, 100000 Now, however,
engineers have been looking into the
proposal. Because of its largeness,
half dozen railroads are planning to
cooperate in the work, making the
tunnel the combined highway from the
Inland Empire to the Coast. The east
end of the bore would be in the vicin
ity of Leavenworth, and it would come
out near Skykomish on the west side.
With the passing of summer and the
approach of fall, football promises once
