its readers are entitled to all the facts
connected Herewith. With this end
in view the following is submitted:
On Wednesday night Councilman
Davis, c. E. Booth, w. ]. Watson, ].
w. Corcoran and others whose names
we have not been able to procure be-
ing present in the Opera bar, Council
man Davis says. Mr.. Corcoran made
the statement, There is a FIVE thousand
dollar graft in the water bonding prop
osition to be divided between Council
men Carlquist and Weigand and that
damned little white-headed snot in the
State Bank Mr.. Davis says he thinks
another name was mentioned but does
not remember it, He also says that
Mr.. Corcoran said to him, You are
not in it. You are not wise enough"
When shown the statement made by
Councilman Davis, w. !. Watson said,
The statement made by Councilman
Davis was made at the time and place
by Mr.. Corcoran, but he also added
Councilman Hamilton's name to Carl
quist and Weigand. The other parties
who were present when the above was
made cannot be seen.
The accused councilmen say Grim
inal prosecution will follow and civil
suit for damages will be instituted.

WILL OPEN MARBLE QUARRY
Over S25O,O0 Worth of Bonds Sold
Ample Capital For Development

John L. Atkinson, president OF the
Onyx Marble company, which owns a
large deposit of marble in the Red
Mountain district, was here the first OF
the week making arrangements to start
a'force OF men at work on the properties.
He expects to keep up the develop
ment work throughout the winter get
ting things into shape and says that
arrangements will be made to extend
the line OF the Wenatchee Valley &
Northern railway to the quarries early
in the spring.
1t is said that the railroad can easily
be extended to the mines next summer
and by next fall the company figures
they can be shipping marble in car
load lots. 1t is also the intention Of
the company to put in lime and ce-
ment plant here, which will result in
the establishment of large manufac-
turing plant employing several hundred
men.
Mr.. Atkinson says S250,000 worth
of bonds have been sold, which will
give the company all the capital they
need to carry on the work.
Eastern capitalists took $l50,000
worth of the bonds and the remainder
was taken up by Everett parties on the
understanding that the finishing and
distributing plant be located in that
city. The coming OF this industry not
only will mean a great deal to Leaven-
worth but to Chelan county as whole
and only marks the coming OF other
manufacturing enterprises to this city.
Large corporations and promoters
have long had their eye on Leaven-
worth on account of the unlimited
water power possibilities and we pre-
dict that before many years roll by
several other manufacturing plants will
be located here.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-10-13

the audience had made the charge in
business house on the fourth day Of
October that three members Of the
council and Robert B. Field had a
graft in the sale Of the proposed water
bonds OF IS, 900 and he wanted the
man who made the charge to tell the
people upon what authority he made
such statement. He said he had lived
here long time and if he was that
kind of man the people lad right
to know the facts. Mr.. Carlquist then
gave his reasons for favoring the bond
issue.
Councilman Weigand got up and
stated that Mr.. Corcoran was the man
who had made the charge and asked
him to state his authority. Mr.. Cor
coran denied that he had charged the
councilmen with grating. He said he
was told that Councilmen Carlquist and
Weigand and Mr.. Field would make a
profit OF three or four thousand dollars
out OF the sale OF the bonds. Council
man Davis then got up and stated that
Mr.. Corcoran had said just what Mr..
Calquist had stated. Here calls for
the water question shut of further dis
cussion on the graft subject.
City Attorney Nelson was called on
and said the council had employed a
competent engineer who estimated the
cost of a supply system at thirty thou
sand dollars which made it impossible
for the town, with bonding possibil-
ity of only SAC to own both the
distribution and supply system and
adopted the plan submitted to the
voters as the best way to solve the
problem, and as the contract for the
installation OF the distribution system
would be let to the lowest bidder, only
so much of the bonds as would be
necessary to pay for it would be sold,
the town could not get the worst of the
bargain, and if Mr.. Woldenberg was
correct in his figures there would be
no cause for complaint. Mr.. Nelson
reminded Mr.. Woldenberg that the
Tumwater Light and Water Co.'S. dis
tribution system had never been offer
ed to the town for S18,648 without a
string attached to it. There was some
further talk of a desultory nature after
which the meeting adjourned.

Extraordinary Large Attendance to Hear the Water Question
Discussed
GRAFT CHARGE LAUNCHED AGAINST COUNCIL
Number of Citizens Took Part Discussion of Question Which Has Stirred
the Community From Center to
Circumference

The mass meeting which was called
for Tuesday night in the opera house
was attended by an unusually large
number of citizens. A considerable
number of ladies were present and took
a keen interest in the discussion.
After the meeting was called to or
der by Mr.. Corcoran, Mayor Woodrow
was elected to preside. The opening
was somewhat slow and tedious, as no
one seemed to want to start the dis
cussion. Those favoring the bonding
proposition to get water for the town
did not want to take the lead as the
meeting was called by those opposing
the proposition, and took the ground
that it would be improper for them to
take the lead.
Mr.. Woldenberg acted as spokesman
for the opposition and took the floor,
and after some illusions to the Echo
and its editor, stated his grounds OF
opposition to the method adopted by
the council to get water for the town.
He said he favored municipal owner
ship entire and opposed the councils
plan because it only contemplated own
ership OF the distribution system. He
stated that the amount proposed to be
raised by bond sale, $4,000, would
pay for the supply as well as the distri-
button system. He read some figures
showing the cost of wooden pipe laid
down in Leavenworth and from these
figures tried to show that the cost of a
supply system would not exceed S17,-
900. He also stated that he favored
the purchase Of the Tumwater Light
and Water Co.'S. present distribution
system, which was otered TO the city
at S18, 8,648 if the city would grant the
company an unconditional franchise to
the streets and alleys for its light, tele-
phone and power wires, Mr.. Wolden-
berg further stated that from working
men he had learned that the bitches
could be opened, pipe laid and bitches
filed for 61a cents per foot. From the
figure he deduced that the entire sys-
tenn could be constructed for S44, 900
or less and asked the people on this
groundtoopposethe bondingproposition
After waiting for some one to take
the floor Councilman Carlquist was
called on and stated that a person in

GLOBE MINING & MILLING co.
Are Building Road to Their Property and
Viii Install Reduction This Winter

The Globe Mining & Milling COM
pany, of which mention was made in
these columns some four weeks ago,
was organized by Dee Fisher, of this
place. The company acquired title to
property on Niger creek about twelve
miles from here. Access to the prop
erty is had by way Of the Blewett road to
the mouth of Ingles creek, from which
point it is about three miles to the
mining property. The property was
located and considerable work has been
done on it by George Persinger. At
present there is about two thousand
feet of tunnels. Recently mining
engineer by the name Of Roberts, who
has had considerable experience, ex-
perted the property, which is cinnabar,
as very rich, carrying from one to three
hundred dollars worth of quick silver
per ton.
A force of ten under the leadership
of Walt Meyers left here this week to
open road which has heretofore been
the great obstacle in the way of carry
ing on development work. There is
about three miles of road to build but
it is said not to be Of difficult nature.
The road force will be increased at
once and the road completed as soon
as possible. Mr.. Fisher is president
OF the company and owns majority Of
the stock. He says 25 ton improv-
ed Scott furnace will be installed at
once, or as soon as the road is COM
plete and the work of making the pro-
perty a paying proposition will then be
solved. Ten thousand tons Of ore is
already blocked out. Mr.. Roberts is
general manager of the company
and will have personal supervi-
sion of the work. 1t is not expected
that it will be more than three months
before ore smelling will begin. Ample
funds are in the hands of the company
to carry out all the plans, says Mr..
Fisher.

forest Homestead Fling Cheaper

Settlers on national forests under the
Act of June II, 1906, will no longer
have to pay for survey, as they have
had to in the past on unsurveyed lands,
when the claim goes to patent. This
relieves many settlers under the act,
commonly known as the Forest Home
stead Law, from burdensome expense.
Relief from this burden has been
brought about by an agreement between
the Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture, whereby sur
veys made by employees OF the Forest
Service will be under the supervision Of
the Surveyor General SO they can be
accepted by the general land Office as
final.
Hitherto it has been necessary to
make two surveys. Under the terms
of the Forest Homestead Law, nation
al forest land can not be opened to
settlement unless the secretary of agri-
culture has recommended to the secre-
tary of the interior that it be listed for
settlement; and listing is not possible
until a survey has been made. The
secretary OF agriculture has no authority
to list any landsu unless an examination
has shown that the land is more suit
able for agriculture than forest purposes.
So when land is applied for employees
of the department Of agriculture are
sent to ascertain its character, and at
the same time make survey OF it by
metes and bounds if survey is neces-
sary.
The survey for listing made by for
est officers has always been without
expense to the prospective homesteader.
Under the new arrangement the
field expenses of the survey will con-
tinue to be paid by the department Of
agriculture, so that the applicant will
merely be called on to meet the cost
of checking up and plating the surveys
by the surveyor general. This will
move one OF the greatest objections to
the working Of the Forest homestead
law. The officials of both the depart
ment of agriculture and the department
Of the interior are pleased that the way
has been found through CO operation in
the surveys. to simplify the procedure,
cut out a duplication Of work and lessen
the cost OF settling upon agricultural
lands within national forests.

This Years Tax Levy $7O.994

AS fixed by the state board OF equal
ization the levy for 1911 for state pur-
poses is .13 mills lower than the levy
for last year, but the, amount to be
raised is more than in 1910, being
S5,0o2,167 Of this amount Chelan
county has to pay $70,994, according
to figures compiled by the state tax
commission. This amount includes
taxes to be paid by the railroads. By
far the largest amount is to be paid in
King county, as the amount levied for
that county is 81, ,262, 900, while Spo-
kane county pays $4,000; Pierce
county, $463,383; Snohomish county,
$201, 900; Whitman county, $780,
900; Yakima county, $1S6, 200. Che
halls county, which formerly stood
fourth among the amount of state taxes
paid, has dropped to the seventh place
with S163,000. In Island county the
smallest amount or $7,231 is paid.
The three largest counties in the state,
King, Pierce and Spokane, pay prac-
ticall one-half of the entire amount
levied.

Last Sunday F. M. Lee, G. N. sta
ton agent, Dick Simons and William
Brender and his brother drove up to
the Mountain Home ranch and walked
over the grade Of the conduit line to
the intake on Snow creek. Talking
with Mr.. Lee yesterday, he said, I do
not think there is any danger OF inter

slides. If any one has doubts on this
