ADVERTISING AS
A SCIENCE PAYS

Some people say that advertis-
ing is all a matter of luck; that
you cannot tell what adver Using is
going to do, whether or not it is
going to pay. This may be true;
but it is very strange that the man
who gives intelligent thought to
his advertising and does il in an
intelligent. earnest. straightfor-
ward way, usually has the luck on
his side. He is lucky in his
advertising because he reduces it
to a science. Advertising Is just as
certain as paying rent. Advertis-
ing is governed by the same
common-sense business lines that
govern buying a lot Of tomatoes
or Goldfish.

DEMAND RECOGNITION

We can talk all we want to about

The number Of young men in
T. lkO is steadily increasing. New
families m moving into the town.
Many young men find it necessary
to and this fact has developed
our many hotels and rooming
houses. Neither a hotel or room
ing house contains the attractions
that they should have and satisfy
the needs and desire of the young

GAMBLING LAW IS MODIFIED

Last evening in the Assembly
the bill aimed to amend the present
antigam bling law was passed.
Under the new bill it allows the
playing of whist, stuff, five hundred
and other social games but not for
money or as a gambling method.
Several attempts were made to
include faro and other percentage
games which were promptly voted
down. The bill finally went through
with a constitutional majority.
Under the old law it was un.
lawful to yer have cards in ones
possession and it is safe to say that
every mar who has enjoyed a
game for pleasure has violated the
provisions of the old law. Both
political parties were pledged to
right this small wrong and il is
but just that the action taken last
evening by the Assembly should be
sustained. Nevada has the hest
anti-gambing law Of any state in
the Union and it should be kept
the best. There is no need for
licensed gambling and the making
of a violation a felony is the only
provision that prevents the law
from becoming a farce. Carson

JOSEPH W. FOLK

Ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk of
Missouri arrived last night and will
lecture at the Opera house this
evening ION the Era of Con-
science" The reporter called on
him this forenoon and was cordially
received. He impressed the
reporter as being a man with deep
convictions on public questions and
with backbone enough to express
them.
When asked for an interview on
current events, he granted the
request and named the time when
he would be at leisure. When this
time came. the rep lrter found hi
just entering the dining room al
the Commercial hotel for dinner.
He invited the reporter to &C.
company him. and. while eating
his dinner, he discussed the seating
of Senator Lorimer of Illinois as
follows:
The ratification of the report OF
the senate committee whitewash ng
Senator Lorimer's title to his seat
was encouragement of political
corruption all over the laad. 1t
was amazing to read the position
of some the senator's that they did
believe there was any bribery
not because they would not give
credence to the oath of any mar
who coEfesscs to bribery. They,
therefore, desregarI led the con-
fessions of a half dozen or Sc of
the legislators that admitted they
were bribed to vote for L0rimer.
The doctrine announced by these
senator's would make it impossible
to ever prove bribery. For the
only way to prove bribery is by one
of the parties to the bribery trans
action, and, as both the giver and
taker of brides are equally guilty,
evidence must of necessity come
through polluted lips. When men
give or take brides, they do not
shout it from the ~housetops. Nor
do they call on witnesses as to
what they r doing. Bribery is
always in secret-under cover.
No n knows anything about it
except the givers and the takers.
Men of heretofore high 81 Standing
would not have confessed corrup-
tion and brought disgrace upon
their families at they did in Hi
nois unless their confessions were
true.
The Lorimer case will he an
issue in the next campaign and the
republican party will have to bear
the burden of it.
TRUE DEMOCRACY
] would like to see the demo-
cratic party take a clean cut stand
not only against corrupt N but
against privilege of every kind
where the few are benefited at
the expense of the many. II mat
ters not whether this privilege be
in the shape of monopoly tariff, a
trust to control the price If the
necessities of life, reba les to
favored shippers. all of these are
prohibited by the moral law,
the law of conscience. and that
is true democracy. Privilege says
to q man. Come with us and we
will give you a tariff or a
bounty, enabling you to make
money at the expense of your
fnlowmen." True democracy says.
Come with us, we cannot offer
you any advantage over us. but
we can promise that we will not
give any one else an advantage
over you" This. is the doctrine
of the common good the religion
of democracy. IL is the only
kind of democracy worth fighting
for and the only kind the demo-
cracy should stand for il they
axnect Ia win.

The Echo that, as the state highway
board had decided that work on the
South side state aid road had not COM
menced before the new road law took
effect, it was necessary to begin all over
again and that the court at its meeting
last week passed the necessary order in
relation to that important highway, so
that the contract would probably be let
at an early day. This road has been
under consideration for more than two
years. 1t has been that long since the
court decided to have the road built
and the people of this town are begin
ming to believe that some underhand
work is being done to delay construc-
ton. To more than half of the people
who live in the vicinity of Peshastin
this road is OF considerable importance,
as it will cut the distance they will have
to travel in coming to Leavenworth half
in two. Somebody is going to be
smoked out over this matter il some
thing is not done, and done soon.

SANITATION

points a STRENGTHENING day. and the

physicians of Leavenworth on this great
subject. When we are sick and call in
our physician we listen most eagerly to
his advice because we want to get well.

how to keep from getting sick.

Property owners in the Cascade Orch
ards complain that some Leavenworth
people make a practice OF telling strang-
ers that their land is not suitable for
orchard purposes and otherwise discour-
age investment in that very fertile val
ley. Now, this is all wrong. The
people who have settled in that valley
are tributary to Leavenworth. They
come here to trade. They are honestly
engaged in an effort to demonstrate
that their land is suitable for orchard
purposes, and it is far too soon to deny
that their faith is we'll founded. Do
these misguided people not know when
they decry any portion of our valley
they throw the shadow of doubt on all
our lands and injure themselves-injure
the whole community If you have
thoughts or ideas about the Cascade
Orchard land, and one can have ideas
only, as there has been no demonstrated
fact, keep them to yourself, at least till
something has been proved.

$3O,OOO,OOO FOR IRRIGATION
Water From Lake Wenatchee for Quincy
FIats-Headgates to Be Placed Ten Miles
From LeavenwOrth

/ The following, from the Wenatchee
World of Monday, indicates that the
big irrigation canal which has its head
near Leavenworth is about to take shape
and will be one of the big enterprises
that is sure to aid in building up city
of 5000 or 10000 inhabitants in a few
years. Surely all things are coming
our way:
A. ]. Ternent, secretary-treasurer Of
the Quincy Valley Water Users Associ-
a ion, was one of the delegates to the
convention of the Grant County Devel-
opment League, which was held in We
natchee yesterday. He makes the state
ment unqualifedly that the waters from
Wenatchee lake will be put on the
whole Quincy fiat, covering an area Of
100000 acres. AS to the time, he
does not speak definitely; but says that
in his opinion it will not be longer than
five or six years.
In discussing the situation Mr.. Ter
nent says: The water users association
was organized about three years ago.
Since that time over $4,000 has been
expended in securing data, surveys and
water rights, and it can be authorize
lively stated the project is absolutely
feasible. Lake Wenatchee and 18, 500
acres of land in that vicinity have been
set aside as an irrigation reservoir for
this project. This was done at the in
stance of the association and at the
recommendation of our consulting engi-
neer, Joseph Jacobs of Seattle.
Our consulting engineer was form
erly connected with the United States
government and has visited all of the
larger engineering feats Of this character
in the world. He states in his report
to US THE proposition is feasible"
He is now making more COM
plete report, and he now has party in
the field. 1t is working at Lake Wen
atchee at the present time.
According to the report of the ge-
illogical survey for 1910, the stream
guage station on the Wenatchee river
shows that $4,000 acre feet passed
off this water shed through this stream.
With this water properly stored there is
sufficient to irrigate 100000 acres of
land and still have plenty to waste.
The dam as proposed at Lake We
natchee will form one of the largest res
ervoirs in the United States. In fact it
is said it will approximate in capacity
the big Roosevelt dam in Arizona. AT
present the lake is less than seven miles
in length. Under the reservoir pro-
posed it will be at least IS or 40 miles
in length.
1.-THE estimated cost falls below
500 per acre. Under this estimate
everything is figured at the highest pos
sible cost, in the belief of engineers.
In fact it is thought the cost will run at
a more reasonable figure"
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-05-12

duty to lay before them some facts
that may have escaped notice.
The price made to consumers within
the town limits by the Tumwater Light
and Water Company is $3.50 per month
for single tap for domestic purposes
Last summer the company extended a
six-inch pipe line across the river, at an
expense Of over $1,000, to the lands of
the Darling Land Company, where the
company makes a charge of $3.50 per
acre for water during the irrigation sea-
son. No franchise was asked for this
extention from either the town or the
county, and the wonder is still growing
how the company, which is losing
money for its owners, could go to the
expense OF extending a long line and
sell water at lower rate outside the
town than it does within the corporate
limits.
An explanation might be found in
the fact that the manager Of the Tum-
water Light and Water Company owns
tract of the Darling land which need
ed water. If the company is losing
money on the water it sells for $18 per
year for single tap to consumers with
in the town limits, how much is it los
ing on the water it sells for irrigating
an acre OF dry ground for four or five
months for $3.50? Does the town of
Leavenworth need to protect itself in
granting franchise for any purpose to
a company that makes such manifestly
unfair determinations We think it
does.
Attention is here called to this matter
for the purpose of reminding the town
council that it is highly important to
proceed slowly and carefully in dealing
with corporation--or with an individ-
ual, for that matter-in granting fran
chise extending over long period of
time where a whole community is in
terested, so that its rights may be safe
guarded against discrimination and I'M
fair charges, onerous and burdensome
regulations.
Let the rights Of the corporation be
we'll defined and clearly stated, but do
not overlook the fact that the rights and
interests OF the public should be guard
ed with even greater care. This ap-
plies with just as much force to the
Snow Creek Water Company and the
Icicle Canal Company, as it does to the
Tumwater Light and Water Company
This paper plays no favorites and en-
phatically lays stress on the Roosevelt
doctrine of the square deal for all.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-05-12

some advantage from the new one that
the old one does not give. A private
individual acting for himself, with due
regards for his rights and benefits,
would decline to take action in any
matter that would impair his present OIL
future rights or benefits, would he not?
In his capacity as councilman, acting
for the public, should his actions not
be governed by the same rule? To
do less is to do wrong. This is fair
and pointed proposition. Ponder it.
