Immediately, If not sooner than

WenatChee May Get WOOIen Mills

1t is rumored in Wenatchee that that
city may be the location of a wooden
mill costing upward Of quarter of a
million dollars that would employ from
800 to 500 hands. Eastern capitalists
have been in this section for some time
looking for site, and it is said they
were very favorably impressed with
Leavenworth on account of the water
power possibilities. There is an abun-
dance of raw mat terial to be had in the
Northwest, and the manufactured pro-
duct would have a ready sale, as the
Pacific coast states alone pay out an
nually from twenty to thirty million
dollars to eastern wool manufacturers.
Under present conditions the raw
wool is shipped to the eastern manu-
featuring firms and the finished products
returned again. II mill was to be
established in this section it would re-
suit in a big saving to the consumer
who now has to pay the freight charges
both ways.

BIG Release of Salmon This Year

During the year 1912 the state fish
hatcheries will release 85,ooo,OOO small
salmon according to statement made
by John L. Riseland, state fish com
missioner, while calling on Governor
Hav. He says this is the largest amount
of small fish ever turned loose in one
year. In addition to this from the
trout hatcheries there will be released
about FIVE million small trout which will
be used to stock the various streams
and lakes of Washington. In 1911
Fish Commissioner Riseland estimated
that about 25,oOO,Ooo salmon were
taken for food purposes so that the
state releases more than three little fish
for every big one caught.

Taxation of Fruit Trees

In a letter recently written to Spo-
kane county commercial organization
the state tax commission says that il
has taken its stand in regard to the
assessment and taxation of fruit trees
on the ground that land covered with
productive fruit trees is more valuable
than land covered with sage brush and
that when the assessment is made the
assessor is to take into consideration
the fact that the fruit trees add to the
value Of the property. The commission
has not ordered census of the fruit
trees, so that each one will be assessed
but directs that their value be taken
into consideration in appraising the
property.

Il. f. CARR ENDORSED
FOR COMMISSIONER
At Mass Meeting Held Wednesday Even
ing in City Hall
both ways.

The matter of putting forward Lea
venworth citizen for the important po-
sition of county commissioner took de-
finite shape at a mass meeting called
for this purpose. The commissioner
is nominated by the voters of this the
second district at the primary election
to be held in September and will be
voted for at the general election in
November.
For the past four years G. B. Kin
ney, of Peshastin, has filled this posi-
ton, having been elected on the dem
ocratic ticket. While he may not
have pleased everybody Mr.. Kinney
has been a painstaking and conscien-
tious public servant. The improved
condition of the public roads of his
district bear testimony to his efforts II
this direction. He has not announced
his candidacy for reelection but it is
generally understood that he will again
be a candidate.
Mr.. Carr, who will be a candidate
on the republican ticket, has lived here
for the past eight years, and is a large
property owner. He has always identi-
fed himself with every movement hav'
ing for its end the upbuilding and de-
velopment of the country in which he
has cast his lot. He has shown in the
management Of his private affairs that
ability which is necessary to the sue
cessful management of the business ol

SNOW CREEK WATER
co. TO RESUME WORK
Operations to Begin As Soon as Snow is
Out of the Way-WOrk will be
Rushed.

In conversation with the general
manager of the Snow Creek Water
Company one day the past week we
learned that work on the company S
ditch line will be resumed in the
spring just as early as possible. An
immense amount of work was done
last year. Some four or more miles OF
the bed for the fume line is all but
completed. A large amount of lum-
Der for the fume is sawed out and on
the ground. The company having in
stalled saw mill adjoining the ditch
line, about three miles from town.
The work is in such condition that it
will be an easy matter to complete the
flume and deliver water to users on the
south side OF the river this summer.
If the company succeeds in securing
the requisite number of contracts with
land owners on the north side Of the
river the company will extend its line
to the north side OF town and deliver
water to owners of land in the Chum-
stick valley and all those living on the
Emig and the Kincherf lands just
north OF and adjoining the town.
The Snow Creek irrigation ditch will
be brought to the north side of the
Wenatchee river on high line and
will be able 10 supply water to lands
that cannot now be supplied with wa
ter from lines on a lower level. Land
owners should take this into considera-
ton. A card dropped to S. P. Beech
er, the general manager, will result in
call from that gentlemen who is in q
position to make most advantageous
terms. A water right with the land
will at least double the selling price
and make it much more desirable and
therefore more salable.

WILL BUILD RAILROAD
TO THE YANfO MINE
Arrangements are Made to Start Con-
StruCtiOn at an Early Date

The following letter from Al Van
Epps, the largest stockholder in the
Vance Mining company, was received
by John E. Shipman, who has been in
this vicinity the past week in the inter
est Of the company:
Seattle, Wash, March 9, 1912.
Mr.. John E. Shipman.
The proposition Of transportation be-
tween the Kittitas Railway & Power
company and the Vance Mining com
pany was closed and signed up today,
whereby the railway and power com
pany agrees to convey the ore from
the mine to their own smelter at Gle
Elum for $500 per ton or to the smelter
at Tacoma for S4.00 per ton. The
company agrees to commence laying
their rails the first of !April, and com
plete the road to the mine and be
ready for hauling by September lst,
1912. This insures US a success for
the mine. Yours truly,
A. Van Epps.
While the road will not be built into
the mines from this point it is believed
that eventually it will be extended
down the Icicle valley into this city.
The above road has contemplated
building down the Icicle valley for a
number of years but has always con
sidered it too expensive proposition.
It is the belief of Dan Ryan, a local
mining man, that an electric line along
the proposed route would not be very
expensive, in view of the vast water
power possibilities.
