II isn't that the vote swappers and

The people who want fair play have
the most votes, and IL they will or

touch down on Manchester's IL in

CROWD GOING TO INSPECT
CASCADE SCENIC HIGHWAY
Between so and 100 from LeayenWOrth,
PeShaStin, Cashmere and Wenat-
chez Leave Here Sunday
Morning

If everything is carried out as
planned, large party, consisting OF
road enthusiasts from this place, Pc
shastin, Cashmere and Wenatchee will
leave here Sunday morning on No. 3,
about 2:30 a. m, for the east portal OF
the Cascade tunnel, from which point
the party will walk over the summit by
way of the switchback, which is the
Great Northern road bed used previous
to the boring of the tunnel, to Iye,
the west portal of the tunnel, where
the party expect to meet good road
boosters from Seattle and Everett and
confer with them about the advisable
ity of promoting a transmountain pub
lie highway. This proposition has met
with hearty approval by many people
in King and Snohomish counties. The
old Great Northern roadbed furnishes
an easy grade across the Cascade
mountains, and already there is good
road on the west side to within some
twelve miles of Tye, which is the west
end of the switchback, while about the
distance remains to be built on the
east or Chelan county side, Merritt be-
ing the present terminus of the wagon
road.
A good road between this county and
King and Snohomish counties, open to
and practical for auto travel would lead
hundreds, yea, thousands OF summer
tourists this way, not only from the
Puget Sound country, but from Cali
fornia and Oregon, who would leave
some of their money here and at the
same time help to advertise our scenic
beauties and agricultural resources,
The road would come by way of Lake
Wenatchee down the Chumstick to
Leavenworth.
Some thirty Leavenworth people ex-
pect to make the trip, among them we
are told will be L. ]. Nelson, H. E.
Rothert, Chas. Fox, F. T. Metteler,
Tom Burke, A. H. Sylvester and wife,
Paul Weigand, F. A. Reynolds, ]. G.
Miles, ]. G. Wheeler and wife, DR..
McKeown and wife, Miss Tunnel.

Serious Auto Accident

An auto accident that came near
resulting disastrously occurred Monday
evening on the Peshastin road about
two miles from town when the car
driven by Sam Potter became unman-
ageable and backed down over steep
incline. Mrs. Potter, Mrs. w. A.
Lord and her sister Mrs Schafer who
were in the machine jumped and all
escaped injury with the exception OF
Mrs. Schafer who received fractured
ankle.
Mr.. Potter from all accounts killed
his engine on the grade and when he
got out to crank the machine forgot
to throw it out of gear with the result
that it started back down the hill and
crashed into tree. The car was only
slightly damaged.
Mrs. Schafer is confined to her bed
and as she is quite aged it is likely to
be several weeks before she is out.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
REGULAR MEETING
Ordinance Submitting Water Bonding
Proposition to Voters Aug. 20
is Adopted

When the council met in regular
session Tuesday evening Councilmen
Massie, Mischke and Linblom were
absent, but a quorum being present
business was transacted as usual.
On motion Councilmen Linblom and
Weigand were appointed building
committee, to whom was referred the
matter Of moving a house belonging
to Tom Burke from the rear end OF
lot on lower Front street to the street
line.
A resolution was read and adopted
creating improvement district No. D.,
providing for the grading and covering
with six inches of crushed rock Com
mercial street from Ninth street to the
east line Of Fourteenth street and
about one block on Division street,
which will be better understood when
we say Commercial street from the
business district to the Wenatchee river
bridge. This improvement is made
necessary by the improvement which
the county is making on the south
side road between Peshastin and the
steel bridge across the Wenatchee river
east of town. When this road is COM
pleted, which will not be later than
September 1st, the travel will increase
to such an extent as to make the i'm
provement imperative. At the present
time the road from the bridge to town
is in very unsatisfactory condition.
The resolution seemed to meet with
hearty approval, but must yet pass the
gauntlet OF property owners. See ad-
vertisement.
The city attorney was instructed to
take up with the lumber company the
matter of right'o of way on the proposed
road to the bridge.
The water bonding proposition came
ND on a second reading and was unan-
imously adopted on record vote.
The following bills were allowed and
ordered paid: Lee Howerton, drayage
S6. so; J. E. Gutherless, $3.75; T. l..
& w. Co. 500; T. L. & w. Co 1.50;
Kings City Drug Store, three bills ag-
gregating $51.20; ]. E. Grant, police
magistrate $3.50.

Pig Killing at the Congregational Church

The opening of the pig banks in the
Congregational church Monday eve
ming was a great success both fnan-
cially and socially. Out of one hun
dred of the pig banks which had been
distributed around town, fifty-five were
brought in, which when broken open
netted little better than $40. Chas.
Schott who carves meat in Frank S
market acted as pig killer. A good
musical entertainment was given after
which refreshments were served.
Those holding the pig banks which
are still out are requested to leave
them with their names at the Palace Of
Sweets or with Mrs. H. x. Featherstone
or Mrs. Geo. Hood.

Roosevelt Delegates Named

The campaign central committee Sc
lected by the Roosevelt convention
two months ago, met at the Washing
ton hotel in Seattle on Monday of this
week to plan the campaign to be car
ried on in this state, and delegates
were chosen to represent the state in
the national Roosevelt convention, to
be held in Chicago on August 5.
United States Senator Miles Poin-
dexter heads the delegation. Other
members are: Prof. B. L. Steele,
Pullman; S. A. D. Glasscock, Belling-
ham; Thos. Crawford, Centralia; R.
Weeks, Spokane; ]. G. Moreweis,
Shelton; Charles R. Case. Seattle; Ed
gar C. Snyder, Seattle; ]. G. Kelley,
Walla Walla; G. c. Corbaley, Spokane;
2. A. Lanham, Wenatchee; A. E.
Emerson, Ellensburg; Willis K. Lebo,
Aberdeen; w. H. Dickson, Tacoma.
The committee also decided to call
state convention in September to
nominate presidential electors to head
the Roosevelt ticket in this state.
The committee was divided into two
factions, one favoring the nomination
of full state and county tickets as a
new party and the other favoring the
naming of independent presidential
electors only. After spirited debate
the latter faction won control OF the
committee.

Cashmere Has Trouble With Electric Co

A complaint was filled this week
with the public service commission by
the city council of Cashmere alleging
that the Wenatchee Valley Gas q
Electric company refuses to remove
high tension transmission wires from
the main streets of the town IN spite
of the wishes of the council and an
agreement entered into previously.
An early hearing will be held and il
the commission decides that the wires
must be removed this complaint will
probably form the basis for others ol
the same kind. 1t is the first OF this
nature ever filed.

Mrs. Ellen Taylor of Wenatchee
was shot and seriously wounded last
Saturday evening by the accidental dis
charge of a revolver in the hands of
her husband who is employed as a
clerk by the Plough Hardware Co. of
that city. The accident occurred
shortly after II o'clock as they were
preparing to close up and go home.
The gun which was a Colt automatic
was supposed to be empty and Mr..
Taylor was examining it, before put
ting it in the case, suddenly there was
an explosion as the revolver went of,
the bullet tearing hole in the show
case and striking Mrs. Taylor in the
right breast.
The missile passed entirely through
her body, going between two Of her
ribs and penetrating the right lung.
She was sitting fully fifty feet away
from her husband at the time. DR..
Mccoy was called and examination
proved that though a quite painful
wound it will not be fatal, Mr.. Taylor
was prostrated with grief.

which the people Of the Skagit valley
have given thought and attention which
deserves passing notice. On account of
the proximity Of first class quality of
cement, and a consequent cheapness,
which goes far to help solve a difficult
problem, The people Of the Skagit re-
gion have made considerable progress
along these lines. All the towns have
miles Of cement walks, perhaps a
lesser number of miles of paved
streets and occasionally a stretch of
paved roadway, by way of an encour-
aging example.
The towns we visited are a most
striking example of the value Of har-
mony and united effort in the upbuil-
ding and development of a common
country in which the towns no less
than the rural population is deeply and
vitally interested. In this we found
an example worthy of imitation.
The attention received and the cour-
tesies shown the visitors was graciously
accepted. 1t shows the people are
mindful of the importance CT little
things. Every newspaper man car
ried away in his mind pleasant recol-
lections of a three days stay among
hospitable and prosperous people.
