SCENIC HIGHWAY BOOSTERS
ENTERTAINED AT CASHMERE
Chelan County's Portion of Road Expect
ed to be Completed in August 1914
King County will Start Soon

The Cashmere Commercial club en-
tertained $50 guests Monday night in
honor OF the Cascade Scenic Highway
association officials. M. F. Smith Of
Berlin reported that the King county
commissioners have committed them
selves to an early start on construction
of the western end of the project. The
bond issue Of $3,000.00o voted last
November by narrow majority Of King
county voters has been validated by
the legislature and no valuation by the
courts will be required. This makes
$165, 900 available for the Stevens pass
route.
Automobiles will run to the summit
of the Cascades on the Chelan county
portion OF the highway not later than
August 1, 1914. According to a
promise Of Captain Usher, who is in
charge of raising a public subscription
of $40, 900 with which to begin con-
struction Immediately. The work
next summer will be completed by a
road tax Of SIS, 900, most Of which will
be paid by the Great Northern Railway
in the Merritt road district. The peo-
pie there are pledged to vote 10
mill levy. Chelan county commission
ers have agreed to appropriate the re-
naming SIS, 900 required.
This leaves only seven miles Of the
project unprovided for. 1t lies in
Snohomish county and is the most ex-
pensive and difficult portion. Engi-
neers estimate its cost to be S150.000
for the seven miles. President G. w.
Startup said he could make no prom
ises as to how this money would be
raised or when, but that a movement
is now on foot to call another election
on a bond issue. If that fails public
subscriptions would be solicited and
a most vigorous campaign waged.

AUTOIST MUST NOT LEAVE
HIS MACHINE UNATTENDED
Wenatchee Judge Decides it is Unlawful
to Leave Autos on Streets Unless
Someone is Left in Charge

The next time you drive your auto
mobile to Wenatchee, do not leave it
in the street unattended, because if
you do you are liable to a fine. A. D.
Borton Of that city was forced to pay a
fine OF IS this week because he left
his car standing in an alley with no
rear light displayed.
The contention of defendants at
torneys was that the city had no right
under the state law to bar the streets
to lighted or unlighted autos. This
contention was overuled by Judge
w. ]. Mccoy, under the provisions OF
the statute which gives cities the
right to keep its streets cleared.
Further consideration OF the ordi-
nance passed by the city of Wenat-
chez showed that the defendant, and
some scores OF other autoists, could
be arrested every day of the year for
violation of the clearly stated enact
ment which provides for the arrest Of
the owner Of any automobile that is
left standing on the street with no at
tendant. This liberty is granted to
horse drawn vehicles but explicitly de-
MED to automobiles. Its enforcement
would mean an arrest every five min
utes in the day by the Wenatchee po-
lice department.

LOCAL CITIZEN RECEIVES
LETTER FROM MEXICO
American Residents Have Exciting Times
in Southern Republic During Siege
of Mexico City

To give an idea OF the terrible ex-
periences passed thru by Americans in
Mexico during the siege of Mexico
city, the following letter was handed
US this week by Beard received
from his niece who is resident of the
capital Of Mexico.
City of Mexico February %, 1918
Dear Uncle:--
By this time I suppose you have
read in the newspapers the terrible war
we had to pass through right in the
city but we all are well and received
no injuries-only injured nerves, as
we live just two blocks from the ar
senal, where Diaz was and remained
for ten days, and we had eight or
nearly nine days of fighting with bull
lets flying and cannons roaring over
our heads and many fell in front of our
house and on every, side but only four
bullets entered. Nearly all our win
dow panes were broken. 1t was just
miracle that we were saved and a part
of the time we stayed in the cellar and
all took bad colds. Never do I want
to pass through such days of anxiety,
I feel ten years older. Everyone now
is hoping for peace and we all cling to
that hope for we have had so much
suffering. Papa worries about his
business as most of it is done in Eu-
rope and no one knows now how the
world will look upon this sudden
change. ! will not explain to you the
political situation for most likely you
will read about in the papers. Only
to day President Madero and Pine
Suarez vice president were shot,
the papers said in conflict with a
rescuing party. The horrors OF war.
How are you getting along2 Are
you not glad you do not live in
foreign country, and I have lived more
than half my life in a foreign coun-
try. but how I long to return to
my own, and when papa's business is
settled most likely we will leave.
Please write soon and let US know how
YOU are.

From all reports the Great Northern
Railway will spend several thousand
dollars between this point and Chi
waukum during the summer, widening
the grades and taking down the over
hanging rocks. There is some talk
that the track will be doubled as far as
Chiwaukum, being the first step in
double tracking the entire line thru
the Cascade mountains, but this report
as yet has not been confirmed. DR..
Hoxsey states that Frank Dahlquist
the contractor who did considerable
work for the railroad company in the
Canyon three years ago has put in a
bid for the work.

ADVERTISING StlI[ME
MAKES DECIDED hit
Causes Visions of Black Hand, Anarch-
lists, Militant Suffragets and
Trouble Makers Generally

Whatever will make people take note,
stop to read, to examine and talk about,
is considered good, successful advertis-
ing. One of Leavenworth's live wires
pulled off a stunt this week that full
filed the specifications.
Yesterday morning every house
holder in Leavenwsrth found hanging
on his door knob a card bearing the
following legend: Watch and Wait,
and on the opposite side, The Sledge
Hammer is Going to Strike"
There are two Japanese rooming
houses, Japanese laundry and two res
taurants conducted by the sons Of the
howery kingdom. Some Of the sub
jects of the Mikado found the cards
above referred to Wednesday night and
hurriedly called on the city marshall,
protesting that they were good lawabid-
ing citizens, and wanted protection
against all who proposed to use the
hammer.
DR.. McKeown says when his wife
found the card on his door Thursday
morning he told her he guessed the
anarchists had got into town.
Dr.. Hoxsey says if he had caught
the fellow who hung the card on his
door he would have discomboberated
his spinal cord. The editors wife ex-
planned the mysterious card by saying:
II suppose the English sufragists have
at last got here" Another citizen,
whom we shall call DR.. Fell, came
down town Thursday morning and said:
''I don't like this way of making mys-
terious threats, it makes me nervous,
these are only few Of the comments
made by those who did not at first
realize that everybody had found the
same card hanging on the door knob
Thursday morning.

CITY COUNCIL DECIDES
TO BUY WATER SYSTEM
Tumwater Light & Water COmpany's
Distributing System Taken Over by
the City For $7,56O.4O

After lengthy discussion the coun-
Gil on Tuesday evening decided that
the proposition Of the T. L. & w. Co.,
to turn over their water system to the
was a reasonable one and in order that
the city might have no competition in
the water business, it would be best to
purchase the system at this time and
save any further trouble. The price
paid was S7,560.40 which money will
be paid out of the earnings OF the wa
ter system. The company is to re-
tain the revenue from the system until
such time as the city is ready to
turn the water into their own pipes
which will probably be not later than
June 1st. While there are many who
are opposed to the action taken by the
council in this matter it is believed
that the majority of the citizens are
we'll satisfied and will commend their
action. At first several Of the coun-
cilmen were inclined to oppose the
purchase but after the question had
been thoroughly threshed out they de-
cided it was for the best, and when
the roll was taken every member voted
to buy the system. A question arose
as to who was the owner of the service
pipes. the T. L. & w. Co. or the
property owners. Several property
holders claimed that as they had paid
$3.50 to the company for the laying
of the service pipe, it rightfully be-
longed to them. 1t was decided that
this fee was for a tapping charge only
and the individual only owned the
pipe as far as the property line. While
no water rates have as yet been pre-
pared it is stated that there will be
little change from the schedule used
by the present company.
Other business disposed OF.
In order that the accounts OF the
city might be kept in better order the
clerk was instructed to write the state
auditing department to send a man
over to open up a new set Of books.
Mr.. Jacques was granted permission
to blast rock on lots 8, 4, 5, End ad-
dition to Leavenworth.
The Cascade street improvement
ordinance and an ordinance prohibiting
the congegating of persons in the
street when it may block traffic were
passed.
The clerk was instructed to adver-
tise for bids on the three improvement
districts which are now ready.
