.SHINGLE MILL SURE
FOR LAKE WENATCHEE
Promoters Plan to Have Mill in Opera
ton in four Months. Are Now on
the Coast Buying Machinery

From Messrs. Appleton & Carter
who came down from Wenatchee Lake
last Friday, where they spent several
days inspecting the cedar in that To-
cality, it is learned that they expect to
have their mill in full operation not
later than the middle of July. Con-
siderable timber has already been con-
tracted for and the owners Of the mill
intend to buy all of the cedar in that
locality which is estimated by Forest
Supervisor Sylvester to be about 30,-
100000 feet. The ranchers in the
vicinity of the Lake will do most Of
the logging for the new mill which
will cut about three million feet Of
timber each year. Logging operations
will begin at an early date and big
supply of logs will be on hand by the
time the mill starts.
Messrs. Appleton & Carter have had
considerable experience in the shingle
business having operated a mill OF
similar nature on the coast several
years ago and state that the outlook
for the business is very good.
Other parties representing eastern
capital were here this week and are also
seriously contemplating putting shin
gle mill on the Lake providing they
can contract for enough timber to in
sure them several years run. One of
the parties, who arrived here the same
day that Messrs. Appleton & Carter
came down from the Lake stated that
he had made up his mind some time
ago to put in a shingle mill on the
Lake but thought there was no use
going into that section until the snow
had disappeared. He became excited
when told that most Of the timber had
already been contracted for another
mill, but it is understood that he is
still figuring on locating a mill in that
vicinity.

SCHOOL BOARD SUSTAINED
IN THE LARSIN CASE
County School Superintendent Returned
Her Finding Wednesday

In November last the school board
dismissed Miss Josephine Larsin for
insubordination and unprofessional con-
duct. From this action Miss Larsin
appealed to the County superintendent
before whom the matter came to trial
on the 1st of February. Miss Larsin
being represented by Col. Fox. The
transcript of the evidence shows that
she refused to comply with the regula-
tons OF the school and was guilty Of
unprofessional conduct. Miss McKin-
non, one of the teachers testified that
Miss Larsen said to her, speaking Of a
pupil, why don't you knock hell out
of him." and also testified that she
used in her hearing vulgar language,
but would not repeat the language.
Miss Sims, another one OF the teachers,
testified that Miss Larsin used profane
language to her in speaking of school
reports. 1t was also in evidence that
Miss Larsin said to G. A. Hamilton,
member of the school board, speaking
of Superintendent Moore, He goes
about the building like Jesus Chris"
Following is the decision of the
school superintendent:
After hearing the testimony of the
witnesses, the plea Of Attorney E. H.
Fox, and after reviewing the transcript
as taken by Geo. Beggs, the court
stenographer, in THE matter of the
appeal of Miss Josephine c. Larsin
from the decision and order of dismis-
sal OF Leavenworth school board Of
Dist. No. 49," I believe the evidence
shows that she (Miss Josephine c.
Larsin) was insubordinate to the prin-
cipal and unprofessional in conduct as
a teacher. Therefore 1, Viletta H.
Guthrie, Superintendent of Schools,
Chelan county, Washington, hereby
sustain the action OF the Leavenworth
School Board Of School District No.
4o, Chelan county, Washington, in
the dismissal of Miss Josephine c.
Larsen as teacher.
Signed this Goth day of February,
1918.
Villetta H. Guthrie, Superintendent
Of Schools, Chelan county, Washing
ton.

Mrs. liutchins Pupils at the Scecnic

One OF the most entertaining per-
formances witnessed at the Scenic
Theater in several months was that Of
last Friday night when the pupils Of
Mrs Mabel Hutchins were the main
attraction at the local playhouse. A
good crowd was in attendance and
everyone spoke very highly of the
children's work. Those taking part
were, Miss Reatha Hutchings, Sada
Hasagawa, Oriet Peterson, Florence
Bell and Clifford Hegler. Consider
ing the age Of the children who are
yet in their teens they can not receive
too much praise. Reatha Hutchins
and Master Clifford Hegler did un-
usually we'll in a sketch The Artists
Dream" and brought down the house
when they put on the Texas Tommy
dance. When the dance started the
young lady wore a spiked belt which
would not permit her partner to come
very close but during the closing Sec
onds the belt had found its place in
the corner and they were going to it
in the regular old bunny hug style.
Mrs. Hutchins has announced that she
will give one entertainment every
month.

Work Starts on Water System Monday

1t was announced this week that
work on the water system will be re-
sumed again Monday morning, and in
all probability the work completed in
the next two months. The first work
to be done will be the putting of the
supply pipe under the railroad tracks
for which a tunnel will have to be
built after which the pipeline crossing
the river will be put in. This is re-
garded as one of the most difficult parts
of the work yet to be completed as the
pipe is to be laid on the bottom of the
river.

Mrs. Wiley Rice and little daughter
Ruby who went to Wenatches suffering
from blood poison are still in that city
but are reported to be recovering.
Mrs. Rice bruised her ankle quite badly
ten days ago and about the same time
her little daughter received bad cut
on her forehead as the result of fall.
Blood poison set in in both cases and
it was thought best that they should go
to Wenatchee where they would re-
ceiye better care.

MYSTERIOUS FILING ON
THE WENATCHEE RIVER
William f. SCheffel Files on 10000 Cubic
Feet Second-May Build
Power Plant

In the Chelan county auditors Office
a fling has been made on $4,000 feet
a second OF Columbia river water at
Rock Island and 10000 cubic feet of
Wenatchee river water. Both filings
were made by William F. Scheffel. who
first filed on the Columbia river water
last Friday and on Wednesday filed on
the Wenatchee river. Just who Mr..
Scheffel represents or to what use the
electric power will be put is yet a
mystery. Under the last fling, says
the Wenatchee World, diversion is to
be made by means Of dam which will
be constructed at a point two miles
south of Chiwaukum. This is four
miles north of the present.Grea North
ern power house. 1t is proposed to
bring the water four and one half miles
down the stream by means Of fume
to the site Of the power house. The
fling states that electric generation
and kindred purposes are intended.
Mr.. Scheffel is believed by some to
represent the Edison Electric Company
and the proposed use Of the water is to
develope electric power for irrigation,
lighting; heating, pumping, and all
mechanical purposes. To achieve this
object the intention is expressed of
building dams, canals, conduits, bitches
pipe lines and fumes. While, as pro-
vided by law, the projects outlined in
the filing must be completed and in
operation within five years, the report
is current that If the preemption OF
the water meets with no opposition the
work Of developing the power will be-
gin this year.
The statement is made, without Of
fetal confirmation, however, that the
Edison company has contracted with
the Great Northern to electrify the
motive power OF the railroad between
Seattle and Spokane within six years,
and that the filing on the water power
at Rock Island is one Of the first steps
by the Edison company toward the full
fillment OF the contract.
Others are of the belief that the
Great Northern is gobbling up all the
power sites in order to retain control
of the electric power in this section.
It is possible that the filings were
made by agents of the Wenatchee
Valley Traction Co. who have fran
chises for an electric line between this
city and Wenatchee, but not likely as
the franchises granted by the county
will expire in March. Mr.. Felt the
promoter of the road is still in Europe
and is confident that he will be able to
sell enough bonds to insure the com
pletion of the road.
By the terms of the law the rights
must be improved in 180 days after
the filing so the residents of this sec
ton will undoubtedly know more
about this mysterious affair before the
summer is over.
Mr.. Scheffel. who made the fling,
is said to be the agent of K. T. Per
rine. the electrical engineer who in
stalled the big power plant af Twin
Falls, Idaho. He is director in the
Edison company.

SEWER SYSTEM PLANNED
BY CITY COUNCILMFN
Would Cost Between $4,000 and $4O,.
900 According to Rough Estimate
by City Engineer Cook

That the residents of this city will
look with much favor towards the put
ting in of sewer system for Leaven-
worth, was the opinion formed by the
council Tuesday evening when one Pc
tition carrying SO names and two COM
munications were on hand asking that
some action be taken on this important
question. AT present there is sewer
system serving most OF the business
district but it is believed that it is in
adequate on account of not being deep
enough to drain easements. The pro-
posed system will take in the whole
town, and Engineer Cook believes that
the cost would be at least 100000.
On account OF the depth Of the pipe
which would be from 8 to 10 feet,
much rock would likely be encountered
says Mr.. Cook and it will be several
weeks yet before he will be able to give
his estimate on the cost. In view OF
the demand for this improvement the
council instructed the engineer to look
into the matter and make report at
an early cate. Whether the work will
be done under the local improvement
district plan or submitted to vote Of
the people has not as yet been decided
as usually this class Of work is done
under the former plan. If it is found
that the work can be done for $50, 1000
it will be regarded as very reasonable
figure.
Two petitions asking that lights be
installed at the corner of 18th and
Commercial streets and one on the via
duct near the Leavenworth Steam Laun-
dry were taken up and Marshall Bohn-
sack was instructed to see to the in
stallation of the lights. The question
of putting lights on the viaduct over
the Great Northern tracks was taken up
but the councilmen were unable to de-
termine any method by which the
lights could be installed so that they
would not be broken. About a year
ago lights were placed on the viaduct
but the constant jar on the bridge
caused by wagons and trains caused the
globes to break and they have since
been discontinued. Mayor Carlquist
suggested that the lights be placed on
a spring coil and it is likely that this
plan will be tried out. !.
The petition OF last week from prop
erty owners in block Q and three ask
ing that the alley between Front and
Commercial streets be paved with bith-
ulithic pavement and the expense be
charged to the abbutting property own
ers was taken up, but on motion laid
over until next week. On account OF
the proposed sewer system it was
deemed best to wait until final action
was taken on that question SO that no
unnecessary expense would occur to
the property owners asking for this i'm
provement.
An ordinace was read making the
license fee SIS for operating a peanut
and popcorn wagon on the street.
For improving Cascade street by
grading, surfacing and putting in side
walks a resolution was introduced and
adopted. The date for hearing OBJ
jections is March Is.
An ordinance for the improving ol
Price avenue from Pine TO Sherbourne
streets known as improvement distric,
No. 4 passed its first reading.
