that the plan is to underestimate the
cost of the proposed system enough to
bring it within $44 900, but
yet make it so apparent that it
will cost much more that
the voters will turn it down if sub
mitted to a vote, and then as last
resort, and to settle difficult problem,
to give the Tumwater Light & Water
Co. the franchise it has sought so long
so that the people of Leavenworth may
have some kind of much needed
water. We signed the resolution
which passed the council few weeks
ago without protest from any other
member. We were elected on dis
tinct pledge to give Leavenworth a
municipal water system. Several plans
having failed to secure the endorse
ment of the taxpayers when submitted
to them our object in introducing the
resolution was to make straightfor-
ward, sincere effort to place before the
people of this city a proposition that
would meet with their approval and re-
deem our pledge. To that end we
proposed Icicle river water because
after dilligent inquiry we believed the
great number of the people wanted
water from that source. We propose
to use wooden pipe of sufficient di-
mansions to make the supply ample
for domestic use and fire protection
and pump it into stand pipe, and put
in a distribution system, employing
wooden pipe, to supply every citizen
with sufficient Icicle river water for do
nestle use and fire protection, and at
the same time hold the cost safely
within the bonding possibility of $44,-
900, leaving enough funds to pay for
the distribution system of the Tumwater
Light and Water Co if an agreement
could be arrived as to the value OF their
system, but to go ahead with the
municipal system if such agreement
could not be arrived at We will OPP
pose any plan that seems to us
to be unreasonable and impracticable,
deeming it an insult to the intel
ligence of the voters to put be-
fore them a proposition which on its
face is impossible and sure to be re-
jected. If we cannot get our engineer
to make plans and specifications in ac-
cordance with our views of what is
practicable as to cost, and what will
appeal to the sound judgment OF the
voters, we will endeavor to secure the
services of an engineer who will make
plans and specifications that will, ac-
cording to our understanding, meet
with the approval of the taxpayers,
who, after all, have the final say about
what is to be done"

A Wenatchee press agent last week
sent to the Seattle and Spokane papers
a story to the effect that if the saloons
of Leavenworth would enforce strict
regulations and close Sundays, and at IL
o'clock at night, there would be less
likelihood of a prohibition election.
For more than a year the saloons IN
this town have been closed on Sunday
and to the credit OF the saloon men we
can say that they have observed the
law. Not one violation has been re-
ported. In their zeal to help cause
they espouse some people resort to
falsehoods.

Investigation into the express busi-
ness shows that one company doing
business in this state, on an invest
ment of $4,000 paid its stockholders
in one year the monstrous sum OF
100000 in clear profits, besides pay
ing the railroad companies nearly one
million dollars for the use of its cars to
carry the express. Don't you think,
Mr.. Man who works for $500 per day
to support family and three children
that the express companies should be
regulated. The president and his
cabinet are opposed to regulating big
corporations. The courts declares laws
intended to regulate railroads uncon-
stitutional.

The country is about to witness the
sham of impeachment proceedings IN
the United States Senate. United
States Judge Hanford is charged with
making improper use of his high office
to help out the poor corporations,
drunkenness and other gross impro-
prieties. The more serious the charges
are against him the more certain ne is
to be acquitted, because the greater
the discredit to the judiciary. Whether
he is guilty or not cuts less figure than
the fact that the sacredness OF the
courts must be upheld.

ONE OF L0ND0N'S TYRANNIES
Roar Against the Plague Of Nearly
Eighty Million Cats In Great
> Britain.

Though the pet cat has its devoted
champions. the other side Of the question
is feelingly indicated by writer in the
Westminster Review. In discussing Lon
don tyrannies he has this to say:
In Great Britain we harbor $4,000
cats. or one cat per So human beings,
reckoning our total population at 100000.
Take the average puss as measuring
eighteen inches from muzzle to the tip. Of
the tail, that gives US 22s miles Of cat.
II would be safe to urge that 900 miles
thereof are mere bandits and providers
Can we actually rank as first-class
Industrial nation while negiecting this I'M
mense potential for the manufacture Of
fancy habiliments and esoteric edibles?
London's proportion Of units is 1,07,ssa.
Thus cats collectively form a painful sub
ject. But In the concrete-or. to be more
precise. among the bricks and mortar Of
that particular urban space under review
they are actually appalling. What share
Of that million odd is left to the city at
large must be infinitesimal. For here
they throng In solid army corps. Des-
peFAte lodkere VINO AT uead Oh niknt eoftiy
creep along the submits Of backyard
walls to discover and wiring the necks Of
budding cockereis describe the presence
OF cat underfoot at every few inches as
most discomposing. To tread on a cat
or even on two cats-i. g.. one under each
foot simultaneously-bege an amount OF
squirming. biting, splitting. scratching and
miaowling which. in these circumstances
tries the courage and agility OF the
doughtest crusader. He will need every
particle Of the appreciation and balancing
power which a good conscience gives to
succeed In the hailcwed enterprise. Let
us leave this dark phase OF existence as
too horrible for further development.
Readers can exercise their imaginative
powers apropos to the uttermost. These
simple Indications but barely suggest
what feline multitudes infest that devoted
spot; how It rings the night through with
demoniaeal outcries. and eerie sing-songs,
and weird screechlngs."

McCague Makes Plea
Against Extension
Of Light Franchise

John l. McCague. speaking for the
Commercial club. the Ad club. the Real
Estate exchange. Ak-Sar-Ben and the
Electrical club, pleaded with the city
council at its meeting as the committee
Of the whole to not enter into contract
with the electric light company for an
extension Of franchise.
His argument was accompanied with a
resolution which he requested be passed.
The resolution. Mr.. McCague explained.
put the organizations submitting II, those
represented by Mr.. McCsgue at the
meeting. right before the public. He un-
derstood that previous resolution passed
January 50 in which the necessity Of In
creased lighting facilities was pointed out
and action without prejudice to the
city's rights in litigation now pending
urged.
Although the council was prolific in
opinion no action was taken other than
to refer the whole proposition to the
lighting committee with instructions to
report.
An ordinance was recommended drawn
by the legal department, providing that
operators of moving picture machines be
required to take out permit. City Eiec-
triclsn Michaelsen and moving picture
machine operators agreed that there was
danger from inexperienced incapable
operators.

fardmaster Of the s. p. r. r. Co. at
Sacramento very worthy man. He also
knew that Newton had Diabetes and was
In hospital In the Capital City. and that
his recovery seemed impossible when he
last heard from him. A letter was written
TO Newton that Fulton claimed HIS Dia-
betes Compound cured Diabetes and that
we wanted to know from OUR friends II
this was so. and that II he Newton
would take II that we would send him a
supply Of II. Newton replied to the effect
that some four or five months before we
wrote him he had heard about the COM
pound. had taken II. that the sugar
was nearly out and he was almost well.
His complete recovery followed. and he
told an s. p. Engineer who had Diabetes
and he recovered.
We also saw Gen. Thso. Reichert Of San
Francisco go on this treatment and get

HEADING OFF .RIPpING FROST
Many Types of smudEe Pots for
Protecting the Bedding
Orchards.

A new self-lighting orchard heating
system. by which a great number OF
smudge pots may be lighted by single
operation whenever an orchard is threat
ened with frost. is described by the Sci
entific American. Immediately when the
smudge pots are lighted a dense cloud
OF smoke arises and covers the region
to be protected This prevents heat radia-
ton from the earth's surface and safe
guards the buds Of the fruit trees from
the rays Of the sun. There are many
types Of heaters. and coal and oil have
been the fuel most extensively used, but
oil seems TO be held in greater favor be-
cause II is more easily handled. The self
lighting device may be attached to va
rldus kinds Of heaters. By its use a
quarter Of mile OF smudge pots can be
lighted instantaneously and much oil is
saved because II is not necessary to light
frost Is in the Vicinity.
The system when operated for GER
tsin round style of pots consists of two
overhead wires running down from a row
Of trees from q post. with reel and lever
attached. to the END Of the orchard. The
oterhead wires, which are erected about
seven feet from the ground. may be con-
vsniently run through the limbs Of the
trees or between rows. as desired. From
the overhead lines q wire extends to each
pot I'D. which connects with a chemical
cartridge placed on a holder attached to
each pot. When the cartridge is opened
blax1ng gasoline flows from and ignites
the crude oil IN the pot. The wires are
made in two lengths so that when the
LAYER 10 turned once only half the pots
every other one) are lighted. A second
turn will light the others. This system
i designed so that when q minimum
amount Of heat Is required only half Of
the pots will be lighted. When an entire
orchard is thus equipped the levers are
paced in . centrally located row 80 that
All may be thrown within a few minutes.
another type ef heater consists Of an

two inches wider BY a second turn and

ing chemical agents placed In q tube
within the containsr. The space sur
rounding the tube is filed with gasoline
and q sealed cap covers the contxiner.

pllshsd <rnply by breaking the cover
