STATE APPROPRIATIONS
This AND PAST YEARS
legislatures Appropriations This Year
Exceed Those of the Years of 1911
and 1912-Hedvy Tax Burden

1t is shown by figures issued by the
state bureau OF inspection that in 1909
the legislature appropriated total Of
So,036, ,131 while in 1911 the appro-
priations were $11, 1,229, ,262, making a
total of S20,265 ,364, but this total for
the four years falls short By $780,
387 Of the amount appropriated by the
1918 legislature which was $24, 1885,
1872. In addition to these amounts
appropriated two million dollars year
is raised by direct taxation for schools
under the barefoot school boy act"
which is not included, this money be-
ing raised but not appropriated. In
the appropriation Of S24,066,782 by
the 1918 Legislature however there is
included s8,00O, 900 which is not con-
sidered a burden against the taxpayers,
there being a s4,0O0,000 bond issue
against the state capital lands and S4,-
100000 for the industrial insurance
accident fund which money is raised
from the employers and not by taxa
ton. In 1911 also an appropriation
of 81, 100000 was made for the indus
trial insurance commission and $780,
600 for the Temple of Justice, both Of
which should be deducted from the
S11,229, ,262 in making comparisons,
according to state authorities.

HIGH TAX RATE DUE
TO ROAD BUILDING
Former County Assessor Osborne Shows
Where Some of the Money ApprO-
priated for Good Roads is Used

County Assessor Joe Johnson and
his chief deputy R. c. Osborne were
in the city Tuesday and Wednesday
doing a little work in this vicinity
Mr.. Osborne states that the tax levy
for Leavenworth this year is 461z mills
or a little over four and and one-half
cents. He says the high rate is due
largely to the cry thruout the state
and county for better roads, although
much is due to municipal improve
ments. The following example was
given by Mr.. Osborne which shows
why the state does not accomplish
more with the money appropriated for
highways. The first thing to be done
when a certain section wants new
road is to have it surveyed by the
county engineer who makes an esti-
mate of the cost and submits the same
to the states engineer. The state
Office then sends out crew of men to
check up the county engineers figures.
In the case Of the south side road be-
tween this city and Peshastin it cost
the county $3.50 to make the survey
and estimate. For checking up these
figures it cost the state approximately
$1400. The engineer who was sent
out from the state Office brought with
him full crew of men consisting Of
rodmen, chainmen, axmen and etc.,
these men cost on an average of from
SIS to S6 day as their railroad fare
and all other expenses were borne by
the state. 1t would have been posi-
Bile to secure this class of help right
here in Leavenworth but for some rea-
son it was not done and we are told
that it is seldom if ever done. This
will show where a good portion of the
S1400 went, the other was no doubt
used to furnish drinks and tobacco for
the bunch. This sort of thing has
been going on for years and if the peo
pie of the state wish to see the mon
ey appropriated for highways used for
that purpose they will have to wake up
and see that new laws are enacted
which will put a stop to this graft and
foolish extravaganza.

WEATHER OBSERVERS
GIVE FROST WARNING
Local United States Weather Bureau
Makes Arrangement with Telephone
Companies to Warn Fruitgrowers

Thru arrangements made with the
telephone companies by R. M. Hard
inge who is at the head of the Weather
Bureau located in Wenatchee, fruit
growers in the valley will be notified
at such times as there is danger of Kill
ling frosts during the balance OF April
or in May. The weather man express
es his appreciation Of the public spirit
shown by the telephone companies who
upon receiptof advice from the weather
bureau will notify all growers in the fol-
lowing manner. Two short and three
long rings will mean weather informa-
tion." A wait of ten seconds and then
the warning message. The telephone
companies wish to emphasize the TACT
that this message, repeated twice dis
tinctly, will be all the information al
hand and that subsequent queries rela-
tive thereto cannot be attended to.
The warnings will probably come be-
tween $50 and s p. m.
Below are the special observers fol

Captain S. S. Usher, Rock Island;
George A. Pitcher, Pitchers Ranchi
A. A. Piper. Wenatchee; c. A. Leedyr

A. G. McKeown, Leavenworth.
There have been established in the

Cashmere Young Men Steal Whisky

For stealing liquor from a Cashmere
drug store four young men Of that
city were arrested the first Of the week.
The men whose names were Fontleroy
Fly, Roy Wilder, Vernon Brown and
Pete Peterson were given fines ranging
from S35 to $50.
The young men acknowledge hay
ing gotten the whiskey, but did not
confess the method of obtaining it.
Indications are that while one of them
walked in the front door and engaged
the proprietor in conversation, the
other three tore of the screen from a
window in the rear and orawled inside.
Having obtained the jug of whisky,
they unlocked the rear door and went
outside.
Prosecuting Attorney Sorenson had
asked for the maximum punishment
which is 500 fine and 80 days
Jail sentence but the judge decided to
be lenient with the youthful offenders.
In the case of Peterson who has a
wife and child the Judge stated that he
had no sympathy but on account of
his family he was let off with $50
fine. All of the young men are resi-
dents OF Cashmere and are quite well
known in this city where they are oc-
casional visitors.

OFFICIALS OF G. N.
SEE LEAVENWORTH
Spend Hour Seeing the SteeI Plant,
the Lumber Mills and Some Of
Apple Orchards

The special train Of five coaches
conveying the Great Northern officials,
out on their tour of inspection, headed
by President Gray, pulled into Leaven-
worth Monday morning at 1880. They
were met at the depot by delegation
from the commercial club with autos
and took short trip around the town,
visiting the steel plant, the lumber
mills and had a sight of the public
school buildings and the valley and
the town north OF the track. They
evinced more than a passing interest
in the steel plant, and were not lit
tie astonished at the extent of the val
ley on the north side of the track.
They noted the evidences of prosper
ity and spirit of enterprise in the COM
munity and expressed themselves as
highly pleased with their reception.
The train pulled out from the depot
at 9 o'clock but made a thirty minute
stop at the round house and machine
shop and doubtless made note of
the fact that new and larger building
was sorely needed. From here the
party went direct to Seattle where they
had an appointment to meet in the
evening.
In the party were president Carl R.
Gray, vice-pres., ]. M. Gruber, in
charge OF the operating department.;
assistant to the president, L. c. Gil
man. of Seattle; assistant to the presi-
dent, M. C. Byers, Of St. Paul; Gen
eral Manager Geo. H. Emmerson; Chief
Engineer Ralph E. Budd; F. w. Gra-
ham, western immigration agent; A. F.
Whitcomb and M. ]. c. Andrews,
representing the engineering depart
ment; Assistant traffic manager M. ].
Costello and Alex Stewart, assistant
chief engineer, Seattle.

THREE STORY BRICK
ON FRONT STREET
Excavation for the Barclay Building
Commenced This Week-fleCtriC
Elevator viii Be Installed

A. c. Barclay, who has made his
home in Seattle for the past ten years
has decided to build on his Front
street lot. Work on the excavation
for the foundation commenced this
week. The dimensions-of the building
will be 30x105 feet, the full size of
the lot, which adjoins the Leaven-
worth Market. 1t will have full
basement, constructed OF reinforced
concrete and will be ten feet in the
clear. The first floor will be for store
room purposes and the second and
third floor will be divided into rooms,
each room to be provided with hot and
cold water. An electric elevator, the
first to be installed in a Leavenworth
building, will be one Of the features OF
the structure. 1t is not out of place
here to say that no expense will be
spared to make substantial building,
provided with the latest time and
money saving Improvements. Crude
oil will be used in the heating plant.
For what line Of business the ground
floor will be used Mr.. Barclay declines
to say at this time, but it is quite prob
able that he will occupy it himself
with some line OF business. He means
to move his family here and make this
his home again after an absence of ten
years, during which time he was in the
employ Of the Great Northern railway.
Mr.. Barclay says he likes Seattle and
thinks it has a great future, but for
present investment and immediate re-
turns he does not know of a better
point than Leavenworth. With a
healthful climate, charming surround
ings and an abundance Of pure water
for all purposes he says this place Of
fers inducements to the health seeker,
homeseeker and investor not surpassed
in the state.

COUNCIL MAY BUILD
LARGER CITY HALL
Old Building no Longer Able to Fill all
Requirements-MOdern Structure
is Planned

The building of city hall was the
most important question which came
before the council on Tuesday even
ing. While as yet no definite plans
have been made the matter will doubt
less come up before the council at
their next meeting when some action
will be taken in this direction. The
old building has long since been too
small for the needs OF the city and in
stead of having the Offices of the diff
ferent officials scattered thruout the
city they would all be under one roof.
The Jail and the room were the fire
apparatus is kept have already become
inadequate on account of lack OF
room and by the time the new water
system is taken over there will have to
be some place where the people can
come to pay their dues.
]. B. Adams has offered to sell to
the city his lot on the corner of 9th
and Commercial streets, and while no
price has been agreed upon it is under
stood that the property can be pur-
chased at a very reasonable figure.
Mayor Carlquist appointed Councilman
Mischke, Massie and Anderson as a
committee to call upon Mr.. Adams
and find out what he asked for the
property and report at the next meet
ing.
A communication from the Leaven-
worth Lumber Co., was read asking
that the city run a pipe line to their
mill on the south side of the river. En-
gineer Cooks estimate showed that
the cost would be about $1,000. 1t
was the belief OF the council that the
Lumber Co., should stand this ex-
pense as at present they would be the
only ones to take water from the pipe,
the matter was referred to the water
committee.
The alley in Merriam's addition
over which there has been considera-
Bile trouble in the past has been sur
veyed and the correct lines established
according to City Engineer Cooks
report.
A number of the residents in the
Cascade orchards have made applica-
ton to tap the city's main which pas
ses thru that section, 1t was decided
that no charge would be made except
ing the regular monthly rates which
would be the same as those charged in
this city.
Asking that the poolrooms be opened
on Sunday petition carrying l55
names was presented. The request
was granted, Councilman Featherstone
being the only one opposed to the
opening.
On account OF numerous complaints
OF the number Of cows kept by one
person within the city limits the city
attorney was instructed to draft an ordi-
nance limiting the number to one COW
to any family living in the city.

ANOTHER CONCRETE FRUIT
WAREHOUSE AT PESHASIIA
viii be 60x150 with full Basement, to
Cost $10,00O-Work to Begin
at Once

A committee of the Peshastin Fruit
Growers Association, w. M. Stark and
son, Hal Stark, F. A. Wingate and
Guy Stage were here yesterday on busi-
ness connected with the erection oi
the new Peshastin warehouse, work on
which will begin at once. The base
ment will be used for storage purposes
and the upper floor for packing, grad
ing, storage and shipping, and it is be-
lieved will give the members OF the
association ample room to handle theil
crop for some time to come.
Mr.. Wingate says the ready sale and
fair price received for their 1912 crop,
which was a very trying year on apple
growers, has given a wonderful impetus
and raised the faith of the growers in
the upper Wenatchee valley. 1t dem
onstrated for truth the claim that the
apples in the upper valley are superior
in keeping quality and freedom from i'm
perfections and therefore will sell more
readily and for better price in a yea
when the competition from the eastern
states on account OF a large crop il

orchard in this vicinity a much safe
investment because the profits art
more sure, taking one year with an
