week disclosed the fact that the turn
ing out of Rothert steel is not far of.
The engine and boiler are in position

gotten up Tuesday afternoon, more to
test the fittings than for any other
reason. The tanks have been con-
nected and filed with water for some
time. The ore crusher and grinder is
ready and only lacks the belt to be
fully connected with the engine. The
ore conveyor, which is an endless chain
weighing some two thousand pounds,
is set and ready for the power to be
turned on. Mr.. Rothert says the grind
ing Of ore will begin soon, the smelt-
ing will be delayed until certain of
the furnaces are completed. Expert
furnace builders, now engaged in erect
ing furnaces for the smelling company
at Anaconda, Montana, will be here
between now and the end OF the month.
Fire and verified brick have been
ordered and will be here within a few
days to complete the furnaces, some
of which are partly built.
Work on the foundation for the ham,
mer house, located Just east of and ad-
joining the main building on the west
end was begun the first of the week.
Like all the other buildings of the COM
pany it will rest on cement pillars and
be substantially built. Mr.. McGregor

Death of Leonard Sauer

The death of Mr.. Sauer, just turned
into promising young manhood, at the
Minor hospital. in Seattle, on the 9th
inst, was particularly sad, and came
as a cruel shock to the many friends
of the young man and the Sauer fam
lily. He was attending the Washing
ton University and was first taken sick
on the Doth of Feb, when he COM
planned OF a slight indisposition. His
school mates wanted to call doctor at
once but he thought so lightly OF his
sickness that he declined to have a
doctor called. The following day he
was very much worse and a doctor was
sent for and the young man removed
to the Minor hospital, his parents, who
reside here were notified. Mr.. Sauer
and one of his sons went to Seattle
and remained with him until death
came. His malady was finally pro-
nounced spinal meningitis by the at
tending physicians and everything was
done that medical skill could suggest
without avail. Death came on March
8.
Leonard F. Sauer came here with
his parents FIVE years ago and was well
known and universally esteemed as a
Young man of irreproachable character,
and unusually bright and studious. He
was ID years, 7 months and II days
old at the time of his death, besides
his father and mother he leaves three
brothers and three sisters. Only few
weeks ago the wife Of one of the Sauer
brothers died. Leonard Sauer was laid
to rest in the Leavenworth cemetery
Sunday.

action to secure the construction OF
the Scenic Highway road between
King and Chelan counties, across the
Cascade mountain, he said the county
commissioners had created new road
district, embracing Merritt, and that
the people of the new district were
willing to levy ten mill tax in order
TO complete the road by this fall or at
least next year. Mr.. Smith stated, 1t
had been estimated that SIS 200
would open the road and complete the
earth grade, and that the ten mills
would raise about five thousand dollars

were counted on to contribute five
thousand in addition to which it was
confidently believed five thousand dol

other public spirited citizens.

the club. He said he was deeply in
terested in good roads and would
pledge himself to ANYTHING that would
better the public road condition, at
present, he said, the county road f.
nances were not in the best condition
to promise much for this district as in
the past other funds had been drawn
on to enable the district to complete
road improvements, so that the dis
trict was in fact in debt.
