ROUNDHOUSE EXPECTED NEXT YEAR
Great Northern Railway Will Likely Make
Many improvements Here
Next Year

1t was rumored this week that the
Great Northern Railway would begin
work early in the spring on new 81
stall brick and concrete roundhouse to
replace the one the company has in
this city at the present time. 1t is a
well known fact that the local round
house is inadequate, besides being in
a very dilapidated condition, and it is
not believed that the railroad officials
will pass this matter up for another
year. For year or more il has been
known that they have had the question
under advisement A number oi
other Improvements are planned,
among which will be the putting in Of
several more tracks in the yard.
Quite recently several Of the high
officials Of the Great Northern stopped
of here on their way to the Coast, and
il is understood that they made an in
vestigation of the needed improve
ments at this point.

before he had time to dodge the blow.
He was discovered by night Marshal
Pratt and taken to his room, after which
Dr.. Hoxsey was summoned who dressed
the wound. The injury was not ser

SLIDE AGAIN BLOCKADE G. N. LINE
Big Blast at Windy Point Again Ties Up
Train Service for Two Days

The Great Northern tracks, which
were blockaded for several days the
past week, near Tye, by blast set off
at Windy Point, where a tunnel is be-
ing built, were opened for traffic yes
terday morning. The scene OF the
blockade is near where the big blast
Of powder was set off two weeks ago,
and which covered the tracks with
such large quantity Of earth that six
days time was required to remove ii.
During the tie-up all trains were de-
toured owe. the S. P. & S. Ry., by way
of Pasco, with the exception Of one
train, which ran into this city daily
from Spokane.

GIFT CAR OF APPLES TO GO EAST
Those Desiring to Send Fruit to Friends
in the Fast Should Avail Them
selves of This Opportunity

The Fruitgrowers Association an
nounces that it will send a gift car oi
apples to Chicago on November 8.
This will be for the accommodation oi
Wenatchee valley residents who desire
to send gift boxes Of apples to friends
or relatives in the east.
The car will be billed TO Chicago
and distributed from there. 1t will
cost 90 cents box to land the apples
in Chicago and this charge must be
prepaid here. From Chicago the ap-
pies will have to go with the express
charges collect.
1t is likely that large number OF
people will avail themselves Of this
opportunity to send gift apples to the
east. The association desires those
who want to take advantage Of this Of
fer to bring their apples in the latter
part of the week, not before, as they
do not care to be bothered with them
until Just before time to load.

AUDITING PROPERTY MUST
PAY FOR STREET LIGHTS
Council Decides That They are Paying out
too Much Money for Street Lights
Properly Owners Must Pay

That the city Of Leavenworth is pay
ing out too much money from the
treasury for street lighting was the
unanimous opinion of the council al
their meeting Tuesday evening. 1t
costs the city at present about $155 a
month for lights, which according to
Attorney Nelson would mean a tax
levy Of about six mills. AT the rate
We are putting in lights Mr.. Nelson says
it would not be a great while before
we would reach the limit of ten mills,
Following Mr.. Nelson's suggestion Of
making a direct taxation on the abut-
ting property for street lighting, coun-
Gilman Massie moved that the attor-
ney be instructed to draw an ordinance
along these lines and present il at the
next meeting. Councilman Anderson
seconded the motion, and when a
vote was taken all favored the new
system.
The matter will likely be brought up
before the council in the near future.

Sister of Drowned Man Here

Miss Nelson, a sister Fred Nelson,
the young man who fell of the Lamb
Davis dam a week ago Wednesday and
was drowned arrived here Sunday from
Teton, Idaho. It is Miss Nelson 5
intention to remain here in the hope
that the body OF her brother will be
found. Miss Nelson is a member Of
the Eastern Star and is at present the
guest of Mrs. J. E. Gutherless.
Searching parties have been out on
the river every day this week and nu-
merous blasts have been set of in the
hope that the body would rise but
thus far their efforts have been futile.

OVER 500 REGISTERED FOR
NEXT TUESDAYS ELECTION
Every Voter Should go to the Polls and
vOte-RegistrdtiOn Books
Close Monday Night

With the city election only three
days off, a glance over the books in the
city clerks office shows the total regis
tration up to date to be, which is
considered a very good showing, al
though there are fully - qualified
voters within the city limits. Those
desiring to vote in the election Tues
day must register before Monday
night. There is usually large num-
Der who put of registering until the
last minute and at this time it is hard
matter TO estimate the total registra-
tion.
In the vacancies to be filled on the
council, probably the most interest is
being taken in the election OF a mayor,
Since Mr.. Woldenburg drew out Of the
race, only two candidates are left who
have aspirations to succeed Mr.. Frank
E. Carlquist, the present incumbent,
Dr.. A. G. McKeown and F. T. Mot
teller. Friends Of each candidate are
claiming a victory for their man.
Mr.. McKeown TO an Echo reporter
said, I am for a we'll conducted city,
a strictly business administration, and
especially economy in conducting the
affairs OF the city, AS yet Mr.. Mot
teller has made no statement in regard
to what his attitude would be in han
ding the city's business. 1t is un-
derstood however that he would work
along the lines of economy.
The Socialist party will hold con-
vention Nov. at which time Mr..
Woldenburg viii in all probability re-
ceive the nomination for mayor to op-
pose the nominee on the Citizens
ticket. 1t is also their intention to
put full ticket in the field.
The next most interesting contest
will be between L. J. Nelson and E.
H. Fox for city attorney. For the
clerkship where there are four candi-
dates the race promises to be equally
as close.

LOCAL CITIZENS VISIT
THE FAIR HESPERIDES
Several Hundred from This City Visited
WenatChee's Big ShOw-EyeYOne
Well Pleased

The Fair Hesperides for which much
credit is due the city of Wenatchee
closed with whirl last Saturday night
Over 1000 people passed thru the
gates the last day which brought the
total attendance for the five days up to
l6,500, an average of $500 a day.
Nearly every district in North Central
Washington was represented at the
fair, but il was the people Of Wenat-
chez alone who made their show a
success. Business men Of that CRY
contributed $4,000 in cash and in ad-
dition fruit growers in that vicinity do
mated several thousand boxes Of apples.
The fai1 will cost in the neighborhood
Of SIS, 900 when all of the bills have
been paid, but it is believed that there
will be plenty Of money on hand to
settle up all the Indebtedness.
When the gates closed Saturday
night checks were handed to all the
prize winners in settlement Of pre-
miums which sets new record as no
big fair in the Northwest has paid all
prizes before closing.
The Methow Valley captured the
first prize for the best district exhibit
which was $500 in cash and the L.
W. Hill silver cup: Lake Chelan took
second money. Thru an oversight no
doubt local citizens failed to make a
representation at the fair.
Nearly everyone who attended from
this city came home highly pleased
with what they had seen and this
seemed to be the expression Of other
visitors who focked into Wenatchee
from miles around. Next year the
promoters Of the Fair Hesperides pro-
mise a better show than ever and more
displays from the Inland Empire are
expected. Few thought that the show
would be such a huge success which
probably had something to do with
this city not making an exhibit.

Another Asbestos Mine Discovered

Chas. Smyth. who is the owner oi
some valuable orchard property on the
north side Of the city, recently made a
discovery of what promises to be a
valuable asbestos mine. The claims
which he has staked out are only few
miles from the city and it is Mr..
Smyth's intention TO make a thorough
investigation OF his find. Several sam
Piles which he displayed about the city
this week were OF extra fine quality.
Should the asbestos be found in pay
ing quantities Mr.. Smythe will in all
likelihood give up fruit raising as a vo-
cation and 60 into the mining busi-
pAcc

Two Hunters Bring in Monster Black
Tail Buck

Sam DAILY and Ryan Templin went
up the Icicle canyon about fifteen
miles last Sunday forenoon after big
game and came back with the
goods. Only a few hundred yards
apart they killed a mountain goat and
the largest buck that has ever been
seen, so far as we have been able to
learn, by any one. The carcass
weighed ESQ pounds, The horns
were very large and had eight points.
The buck and goat were on exhibition
in the Sanitary Market all day Monday
and attracted unusual attention on ac-
count Of the size of both cacasses.
