ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
FOR QUINCY PROJtCT
Election will be Held Next Year to Pro-
vide Money for the big Irrigation
Scheme

The district which comprises the
lands in southern Grant county with
something like 100000 acres was
formed into what will be known as the
Quincy Valley Irrigation district, by a
vote OF the land owners residing within
the boundaries Of the district at an
election Saturday. There were over
225 votes cast with just few scat
tering ones against the district.
Officers consisting of three direc-
tors were elected to manage the a
fairs OF the district as follows: E. l.
Huffman, John A. Saboe and G. D.
Banko.
An election will now be called to
vote on bonding the district for sufi-
cient amount to proceed with the sur
veys from Lake Wenatchee.
Governor Ernest Lister, accompan-
led by State Geologist Landes, last
week made a personal inspection Of a
portion Of the territory upon which it
is proposed to place water through
the Quincy irrigation project. The
voters Of the state next fall, at the gen
eral election, will be called upon to
decide whether to authorize the is
suance Of bonds up to $40, 100000 to
carry this project through to compile
tion.
Since an essential portion OF the
project is the boring, under the Co
lumbia river, OF a tunnel through
which the waters Of Lake Wenatchee
are to be conveyed toward the arid
lands on the other side, it would be
Impractical TO attempt to do the work
by piecemeal and the voters will have
TO decide whether the entire project
should be put through, at cost of
nearly $40, 100000 or whether moth
ing shall be done.
The governor was impressed by the
trip he took, and while not commit
ting himself on the advisability OF vot-
ing the large issue, expressed himself
as convinced that the topography Of
the portion OF the territory that he
visited was extremely well suited foI
the distribution OF the water. It is
likely that a later trip will be arranged
during the course of which the COVER
nor will come TO this city and visit the
sources from which it is proposed to
obtain the water.

Fruit Distributors Mail Checks

Checks were mailed Monday to the
amount Of $57,772 from the Wenat-
chez North Central Fruit Distributors,
the sub-central of the North Pacific
Fruit Distributors. This makes total
payment of S148, ,672, but this is only
a small portion Of the total. The local
here has shipped 317 carloads of fruit,
a pretty good record considering the
late date at which the organization
was effected.
Manager Dow feels very we'll salts
fed with the record made. The $148,-
672 does not represent advance pay
ments but the actual cash returned
from the sale of fruit handled by the
organization.

S1.50 Per Year
Many Fruit Trees Come Into Bearing

Compilations Of the state depart
ment Of agriculture show that more
than a million apple trees, covering
some S,451 acres, came into bearing
this year. During each Of the next
three years almost double this acreage
will come into bearing. These figures
are based on the paintings Of 1909,
1910. 1911 and 1912. with reasonable
deductions for trees Iniiug to reach
maturity.
That a perplexing marketing prob
lem may result from this anticipated
extraordinary increase in production
seems not unlikely. This year, plant
ings reported to the department have
been considerably less than they were
IN 1912.

POLICE BUSINESS SLOW
! SAYS CHIEF BOHNSACK
Officer has Made Only One Arrest in
Two Weeks-LittIe Trouble Looked
For in Next Few Weeks

On the complaint Of Dick Barrett,
who was robbed Of his watch, chain
and $4.25 in cash Tuesday night, the
officers placed Chas. White, recently
of Cascade tunnel, under arrest Wed
nesday morning At the hearing which
was held Wednesday White plead
guilty and was fined 800 and costs by
Judge Grant. As he was unable to
furnish the cash the Judge changed his
sentence to GO days in the county Jail.
Barrett says he has been employed on
the construction work at the tunnel.
Chief of Police Bohnsack states that
police business has been very slack for
the past two weeks, only one arrest be-
ing made, and that for robbery. The
past summer it was not an unusual
thing for the chief TO make from three
to four arrests a day for drunkenness,
but this the officer believes was due
mostly to the large amount of improve
ment work done in this vicinity the
past six months, and the floating popu-
lation. The officers are looking for
very few depredations in the next few
months, as there will be scarcity Of
hobos and yeggs in this section until
next summer, most of them having
hied out for the warmer climes.

.SNOWSHFDS COMPLETED
NEAR CASCADE TUNNEL
Little Trouble Looked for This Year
New Tunnel will be Ready for
Travel Next Month

The last of the work on the snow
sheds, which the Great Northern rail-
way has had under construction the
past summer in the vicinity of Cascade
tunnel, was finished this week, accord
ing to L. w. Woodrow, terminal agent
in this city. The only work yet 1e-
naming is the completion of the tun-
mel through Windy Point, which the
contractors think they will have ready
for use by the middle Of December.
This winter there will be only one
track thru the tunnel, but an additional
track will be added next summer.
While, OF course, railroad officials are
looking for considerable snow trouble
this winter, they are not expecting
anything like they have had in the
past. The places where the worst
snow slides occurred last year have
been made safe by the erection OF
snow sheds, and the building Of the
new tunnel will eliminate much Of the
snow trouble Of former years.
There is now between foot and
eighteen inches of snow at the sum-
nit and the first rotary snow plows
were sent into the mountains this

s5OO.OOO MORTGAGE IS FILED
Secured by Timber Land in the tntat
Valley

A mortgage for 100000, secured
bv about so sections Of timber land
in the Entiat valley. was filed Monday
4, the county auditors office. These
are the lands OF the Kellogg Lumber
company which were recently sold to
the Chelan Lumber and Box company
The deed in the transaction was filed
this morning. The big mortgage is
subject to a s2so.oOo mortgage on
the same property given by the Kel-
log Lumber company April l, 1912,
on which nothing has been paid. The
loans in both instances were made by
the Central Trust company OF Chicago
making s7so,ooo now owing to the
concern on this property. The mort
rage is in serial sinking fund o pei

CUT IN EXPRESS RATES
EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1ST
New Tariffs Fixed by Interstate Commerce
Commission Will Reduce Present
Rates 20 to 30 per Cent

The new express rates recently pre-
scribed by the interstate commerce
commission will become effective on
December /. The rates were to have
gone into effect sooner, but an exten-
sion was granted at the request OF the
companies, but no revision Of the scale
Of reduced rates was allowed.
These rates represent a reduction
Of from 20 to 80 per cent" said F.
M. Lee. local agent for the Great
Northern Express company" but they
will at first only affect business going
to and coming from other states. We
can not say whether they will directly
affect interstate business in Washing
ton.
Rates between points wholly with
in the state come under the jurisdic-
ton of the state public service com
mission, and once the interstate re-
ductions are made it is extremely
likely that a demand will be made for
interstate rates on the same basis.
What the state commission will do is
only a matter OF conjecture.

MAKING ROTHERT STEEL
FOR PAST TWO WEEKS
Some Part Of the Plant in Operation
Every Day Last Week But
Saturday

Have you seen the smoke rolling
out OF the big stack Of the Washington
Steel & Iron Co., the past two weeks2
Did you see it yesterday A reporter
for this paper did, and he was present
when the furnace was charged, saw the
raw iron ore converted into steel in a
white hot furnace and saw the molten
mass poured into the ingot moulds and
saw the metal taken out after it had
cooled. Wednesday evening Mr.
Rothert said he had some Of the fur
naces going every day the past week
but Saturday, and expects to charge
the large furnaces next week. Since
beginning, three weeks ago, ne has
made a considerable quantity OF steel,
employing the crucible furnaces alto
gether in making tests Of ore samples
from different localities, many of them
coming from distant localities.
While on the subject of ores, for the
benefit Of those who may not know
that the success OF the Leavenworth
enterprise depends on the conversion
of magnetic iron ore, an extraordinary
large body Of which. from 90 TO 10
per cent iron, is located within eight
or nine miles Of this place. OF which
the Washington Steel & Iron Co. owns
a considerable quantity. We may also
add that this class OF ore is scattered
all over this country, large bodies lying
in Pennsylvania, New York state,
Michigan, Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia, and many other states, but has
never had any value, or ever been
used, for the reason that its treatment
is not understood. 1t is known, tho,
said Professor Roberts, OF the Mines
and Metal department OF the Washing
ton University, to the editor OF the
Echo, that iron and steel made OF IL
taniferous magnetic is superior to all
other classes Of metal OF that kind.
Mr.. Rothert has perfected process OF
cheaply and successfully converting
,itaniferous magnetic iron ore into
steel and iron of the highest quality.
Indeed, possessing qualities which no
other iron and steel has. The editor
with his own eyes, Wednesday alter
noon. saw a bar nine inches long, one
half inch square, screwed in wise and
with hammer bent to right angle
while perfectly cold, without showing
a fracture, and with his own hands
scratched glass with the bent iron.
In the past tests have been made by
experts working for the government
and they have aroused enough interest
so that government agents have re-
ouested that as soon as possible Mr..
Rothert send some Of his steel to fur
,her test its fitness for armor plate.
MIR. Rothert has already sent several
larpe samples and plans to cast very
large ingot, weighing two hundred
mounds or more, next week.

the doctor up here to help US boost,
in which occupation he has given
abundant evidence OF his prowess in

II is reported on good authority that
careless hunters, who should learn to
shoot before they start hunting, are
leaving wounded deer in the hills.
If the animals must be hunted, see to
it that those badly wounded are fol-
lowed up and secured, and not left to
die of hunger and in pain.
1t is reported by the same author
ity that fawns have been killed this
season. We hope this is not true, for
the sake Of the sportsmen among the
hunters, but if it is the case, the
guilty should be brought to answer for
it. In any event the deer nave a
poor chance this year, At one point
alone there are twenty-five hunters
camped. and it is impossible for a
deer to get through without being
slaughtered.-En Times.
