SNOW CREEK LAKES
STOCKED WITH TROUT
Thru the Efforts of S. P. BeeCher, Lakes
at Head of Snow Creek are Stocked
With Eastern Brook Trout

S. P. Beecher, of Peshastin, and his
brother M. S. Beecher of Wenatchee,
with three helpers last week packed in
on their backs 5000 eastern brook
trout to Hart and NADIA lakes which
lie at the head of Snow Creek, about
seven miles from this city at an eleva-
ton of 1000 feet. 1t was hard climb,
nearly two miles Of the trip being up
the side OF the mountains which took
the packers seven hours. The fish
were provided by county game warden
Scheble. The lakes are an ideal
place for the trout and it is believed
they will multiply very rapidly. A
trail will have to be built to the lakes
before they will become very popular
among anglers and Mr.. Beecher presi-
dent of the Snow Creek water com
pany is planning to do this next year.
Near the outlet of the lake there is a
sheer drop of hundreds Of feet and to
prevent the fish from escaping the out
let has been screened.

running close for the honor and from
all indications hundreds OF thousands
OF votes will be dropped in the ballot

the others in the race would not be
aware of their standing. But by next

ANOTHER GOLD STRIKE
VICINITY OF BLEWETT
.rrospeCtOr Finds Ore on Niger Greek
That Has Value of $73 to the ton
Company Has Been Organized

The following dispatch appeared in
a Seattle paper the first of the week:
Stalking prospector with money
with which he usually kissed goodby,"
John H. Starbird, formerly partner Of
Thomas E. Westlake in the grocery
business in Spokane, has been ap-
prised that strike OF bonanza qualities
has rewarded his last investment.
Charles A. Striker is the discoverer,
and the scene of his discovery is Mig
ger creek, a stream flowing from the
Cascade mountains at point d miles
from Leavenworth. Three feet of ore
having value of $73 in gold to the
ton, has been exposed at depth of
80 feet, while every round is adding
to the volume of resources.
The Alpine Mining and Milling
company has been incorporated to de-
velop the property, which is to be
equipped with stamp and cyanide
plant. The company will be differed
by Starbird as president, Norman B.
Abrams, an Alaska associate, as secre-
tary-treasurer, Striker as general man
ager andsF. S. Fassett as assayer and
mill manager.
Developments to be engaged in are
expected to establish the true merits

Getting Ready to Ship Asbestos

From the Bartlett brothers, large
stockholders in the Mt. Stewart Mining
Co., which. is developing valuable as
bestos properties in the vicinity of
Blewett, it is learned that the company
is planning to do considerable work
this year in the hope of getting ready
ito ship asbestos before the summer is
over. They are now at work on the
road to the mine which will be rushed
to speedy completion.
For the transportation of the ore the
first mile and a quarter from the mine
a tram is to be built This will fur
nish cheap and easy transportation,
gravity being the power that will be
used. The cars when loaded will be
started down the tram and as they
make the trip they will draw the empty
cars back on another track, the de-
scending cars being connected with
those making the ascent by a wire
cable, The survey for this has been
made. The actual work of building it
is to be got under way at once. 1t is
the intention of the company to push
the work with all possible dispatch so
as to get the mine on paying basis
at the earliest feasible date.

FRUIT PRICES WILL
BE HIGH THIS YEAR
With Short Crops Elsewhere, the Pros
pect for Washington Fruit Growers
is Very Bright

The prospect that the year 1918
will prove another profitable one for
Washington fruit growers is becoming
brighter every day. Reports from all
over the country indicate short crop
in all eastern fruit districts this year on
account of late frosts and overbearing
last year. This is true Of both soft
summer fruits and of winter apples.
1t is reported on what seems reliable
authority that there will be but few
peaches in Colorado or east of the
Rocky Mountains. That the crop OF
the Pacific states Peach sections is
going to be in good demand is indicat-
ed by the activity Of commission hous-
es and jobbers in their efforts to secure
early options on this fruit.
Many experienced fruit men are pre-
dieting price for the best grades and
varieties of winter apples equalling the
prices two or three years ago. While
the Washington crop was not damaged
by frost it will not total more than fifty
per cent Of the crop last year. This is
due to the excessive load which near
ly all orchards carried last year. But
the difference in yield will be largely
made up in quality. Altogether condi-
tions at this time in the season look un-
usually promising for Washington apple
growers.

A CITY HALL BUILDING
NEED OF LEAVENWORTH
Building Needed That Would House All
City OffiCers-voters Should En-
dOrse Proposition

With all of the available room at
the city hall now in use the question
arises what is the council going to do
to find place for their city officers.
Since the taking over of the water sys-
tenn it has been found necessary to
raise the salary of the city clerk so that
he might be able to give all of his
time to the city's business and if his
office is placed in the city hall as is
planned it will take from twelve to
fourteen feet off from the room which
is now inadequate for council cham
Der. For some time past the city. has
been paying rent for an Office for the
city engineer. Since he will have to
move in a week or two, he is perfectly
willing to locate in the city hall, and a
committee has been appointed to make
the necessary arrangements. This
will take another twelve or fourteen
feet off the main room, which will
likely leave about a 12x12 room for
council meetings. A council chamber
should be large enough so that the
citizens could be present at the meet
ings, but if Offices are to be partitioned
off in the front Of the building only a
limited number would be able to get
in to the room.
1t is not a wise policy for the coun-
Gil to rent offices for their city officers
which result in an expenditure of from
$40 to $50 a month, and the only
thing left to do is to build city hall.
A building costing $4,000 or $15,-
900 would meet all the requirements
for some time to come or until Leaven-
worth had trebled her population. The
council favors the building Of another
city hall, and if.a vote of the people OF
the city is necessary to raise the mon
ey it should be done at once.
Two sites for the proposed building
have been mentioned, one on the
corner of 9th and Commercial and the
other 9th and Commercial streets.
Either would probably be acceptable
to the voters.

FIVE new ADDITIONS
Since MARCH FIRST
More than Half of Lots Sold-Very Act
i've Demand for Town Property
Great Building Activity

The demand for lots for building
purposes has been so great since
the opehing of spring that num-
erous owners of land adjoining the
town have found it profitable to put
their land on the market in the shape
Of town lots. This has resulted in five
additions being plated, Stafford's addi-
ton, Miller's addition, Lindsay addi-
ton, Bauman addition and Park addi-
ton, the last named being the old base
ball ground, which has just been plat
ted and the plat filed. Two more ad-
ditions will be plated and put on the
market in a short time. Doubtless
others will follow before the summer is
over. The Stafford addition is entire
" sold out and over half of the Bau-
man addition has been sold. Many
lots in the Miller and Lindsay additions
have also been sold. Up to the pres
ent time the building has been largely
in the line of residences. Since the
first OF March between forty and fifty
residences, ranging in cost from 81 900
to over $4,000 have been commenced
many of which are completed. The
calculation does not take into account
shacks and houses of two or three
rooms, of which there have been not
less than thirty since March first.
OF the new buildings reported for
this week we have to mention IS 900
bungalow for Emil Bauman, $4,000
home for Sam Daily, a 1000 house of
the bungalow type for R. M. Cohoon,
81 900 structure in Cascade Gardens
for Dale Marble, neat cottage for
Chester Dawson and comfortable resi-
dence for E. S. Montgomery.
The basement walls for the three
story Barclay building are completed
and bricklaying on the superstructure
began this week.
The plans for the Weigand building,
80x105, will be ready for the contract
ors to figure on next week. No time
will be lost in the erection Of this
building. which is to be ready Tor occu-
pancy by the first of September.
We are entirely within the truth
when we say that since the first of the
year between 500 and 700 have been
added to the population of Leaven-
worth. Before the close of the year
this will be increased to one thousand,
to use a round number.

hard to get a man to take the job for
less than 500 a month.
To provide Office room for the clerk
and engineer a committee was ap-
pointed to make changes in the city
hall so that two rooms could be par
titioned off from the main room.
The council also has under consid-
Grafton a plan to build vault to store
the books and papers of the city, to
protect them from fire and theft, but
no one has yet offered good sugges-
ton as to its location, unless it might
be behind the city hall.

Water water was turned in to the
hume Of the Snow Creek Water Co.
last Thursday which in time will water
1000 acres in this vicinity.
On account of the purity of the wa
ter which will likely be free from con
tamination for all time to come, a
scheme may be worked out some time
to supply the city of Wenatchee with
drinking water from these lakes. There
is already contemplation along this
line.
