PROCRESSIVES NOMINATED
ON THE COUNTY TICKET
No Opposition Resulted in Light Vote
Last Saturday

The progressive party is not dis
mayed by the light vote cast at their
primary election last Saturday, tho in
some precincts the vote was large,
considering the total number of voters.
The light vote thruout the county is
due to several causes. There was
practically no contest over the county
offices, then il was decided to hold a
primary only about ten days previous
to the time the election was held,
while another factor that may have
tended to keep many voters from the
polls was the fact that line-ups on
county offices had probably been made
before the split in the republican party
came. Any way, the progressives are
very confident that the primary vote is
no indication OF the party strength.
The only county Office for which there
was more than one candidate was
sheriff, and this was decided in favor
of w. w. Gideon. against VIM. Doran,
also of Wenatchee.
Following is the ticket, which was
nominated by the progressive county
convention on Tuesday, which was
necessary to get the names on the bal
lot in the November election:
Representative-C. S. LaForge, of
Wenatchee.
Auditor, E. S. Gill.
Engineer, H. c. Camp.
Superintendent OF schools, Esther
Garinger.
Assessor, Joe E. Johnson.
Clerk, Frank Palmer.
Treasurer, Lyman Lamb.
Sheriff, w. w. Gideon.
Coroner, John Kuelbs.
Prosecuting attorney, w. M. Emer-
son.
Commissioner, first district, P. P.
Holcomb.
Commissioner second district, F. A.
Patton.
S. P. Beecher having received the
Endorsement of the voters for joint
senator from Che,an and Kittitas coun-
ties was nominated in district conven-
ton at Seattle on Tuesday as was also
F. M. Goodwin, OF Spokane for con-
gress from the third district.

$50, 900 More Taxes Than are Legal

According to County Assessor Os-
born Chelan county pays out annually
from $4,000 to $4,000 in taxes that
are illegal. He says the system now
used in taxing fruit trees is a viola
ton OF the law which states that fruit
trees shall be exempt from taxation.
The state tax board claims that the
law is unconstitutional, but Mr.. Os-
born says they have no right to ques-
ton the constitutionality Of legislation
but to obey the law as it is written.
Osborn has been fighting the tax
commission on this point for several
years but it is not likely to be settled
until it is taken into court. In the
past the board based the valuation Of
orchard land upon what it would be
worth if raw land, not taking in the
fruit trees.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
IMPORTANT MEETING
Estimates of Expenditures for Coming
Year is Made and New improve
ment Districts are Created

Owing to the fact that the City hall
was ip use by the election board last
Tuesday evening the regular meeting
OF the City dads was held in Hamilton
Bros. Office. The Office was rather
small for the gathering and chairs be-
ing a scarce article, the floor became a
very inviting place before the motion
for adjournment came at II o'clock.
After the reading of the minutes of
the previous meeting the assessment
roll was taken and on a motion was
adopted.
The Tumwater Light & Water Co.
was instructed to move their light and
telephone poles and fire hydrants on
Front, Eighth and Ninth streets so as
not to interfere with the grading work
being done by contractors Quigg &
Seaman.

and revenue Of the city for the coming
year as prepared by the council.

.HEAD-ON COLLISION OF
FREIGHT TRAINS WEDNESDAY
Engineer Roberts Probably Fatally In
iured in Wreck Near WenatChee

The worst wreck that has happened
on the Spokane division for several
years occurred Wednesday night about
ten-thirty when Engineer Roberts pull
ing the fruit train and Engineer Glenn
mems on the 1910 came together in a
head-on collision three miles east OF
Wenatchee. No one was injured with
the exception Of Roberts who was
caught between the boiler and tank
and sustained injuries which are said
will prove fatal.
The accident was due to misin-
depreciation of the orders on the part
of Engineer Roberts who should have
held his train in Malaga. But as had
oftentimes been the case in the past
he intended to get his orders in We
natchee believing the track to be
clear as far as that city.
The trains came together on sharp
curve about three miles the other side
of Wenatchee and were running at
full speed at the time. Both engineers
applied the air when they came in
sight Of each other and Clemmens and
his fireman jumped as did Fireman
Weaver but before Engineer Roberts
who was on the lower side could
reach safety the crash came, pinning
him to his engine. He was removed
to the hospital where it was found that
he suffered internal injuries and the
doctors entertain little hope for his re-
covery. Railroad men say that this is
the only point between Wenatchee
and Malaga that the wreck could have
occurred as at any other place they
would have been able to have sighted
one another and stopped their trains.
Railroad traffic was delayed for about
twelve hours, the wreckage being
cleared up at 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
Engineer Roberts was an old timer
on the Spokane division having run
out of this CRY for more than ten years
and was held in high esteem by his
fellow workmen. He formerly lived
in this city but for the past three
years has been residing in Wenat-
chez where his wife and family now
reside. He has four children, the
youngest six years of age. Clifford
Roberts who is employed here as NOV
ing picture operator in the Scenic
Theater was notified of his fathers in
juries soon after the wreck and left
here the same evening for Wenatchee
in an automobile.

PAVING INJUNCTION is
DENIED BY JUDGE
Judge Mccoy Decides Against Professors
in Paving TrOuble-WOrk Goes on
and viii be be Completed

The Injunction proceedings brought
against the city of Leavenworth and
the Warren Construction Co., restrain
ing them from paving Front, Eighth
and Ninth streets came to an end last
Saturday morning when Judge Mccoy
gave out his opinion refusing to sus-
tain the injunction Of the professors.
The plaintiffs in the case were, The
Leavenworth Mercantile Co., 0. 5.
Sampson, The Leavenworth Invest
ment Co., ]. w. Corcoran, Tom
Burke, John Bjorke, ]. B, Adams, S.
A. Potter, Emil Frank, J. w. Elliott,
w. H. Cahill, Fred Cahill, Gus Nelson
and the Great Northern Railway Co.
The City of Leavenworth, Mayor Carl
ouist, the council and the Warren
Construction Co., were defendants in
the suit.
Thus ends one of the bitterest fights
made on the council in many months
which began shortly after the paving
contract was let to the Warren Co.
The objectors claimed that every
thing connected with the paving had
been misrepresented, that the price
was exorbitant, which came as result
of the contract not being let to COM
petitive bidders.
In the opinion rendered Judge Nc
Coy says:
Under the facts as shown upon the
hearing, I do not feel at liberty to
hold that the contract in question was
unlawful as unreasonably restraining
competition in bidding upon the con-
templated improvement. The price
at which the material permitted to any
bidder to be procured does not seem
to be clearly exorbitant although tend
ing to show somewhat large compen-
sation to the Warren Construction Com
pany."
The court further recited that the
lot owners were given an opportunity
for hearing and making any objections
they might and such of them as ap-
peared made only general objections,
none objecting to the lack OF the en-
gineer's estimate, and inasmuch as the
parties complaining had the opportun-
ity to make their objections before the
council, the omission Of the engineers
estimate is not such an objection al
can now be availed of in a collatera
attack for an injunction, such obiec

the city in cash. This will however
not be necessary as bond buyers have
already indicated their desire to take
the bonds. 1t is even possible that
they may command premium. The
fact that the city's finances are in ex-
cellent shape, there being neither a
bonded debt at this time or any out
standing warrant Indebtedness, gives
Leavenworth a first class rating.
Messrs. Seaman & Quigg will enter
into contract that they will have the
entire system completed in ninety
days from the time the contract is
signed. Is is not expected that the
signing of the contract will be delayed
longer than the first of October, SO
that it is. quite probable that the citi-
