Drinking Water VIII be AnaIyzed

DR.. Judah is in receipt of a letter
the past week from the State Board OF
health in regard to the purity of water
for drinking purposes used by the
railroads and other common car
riers. The health officers throughout
the state have been working for some
time on scheme whereby they could
know the condition of water taken on
trains for drinking purposes and have
finally decided to appoint physician
in each city or town where water is
taken on trains, whose duty it will be
to take a sample Of the water twice a
year and send it to the State Board of
Health. The State University at Sc
attic will cooperate with the board in
making the analysis. The railroads
are favorable to the plan and will carry
the samples free of charge.

EMIGRANTS ARE COMING
TO THE PACIFIC COAST
Over $4,000 Tickets Have Been Sold To
European Residents Who Will Come
To This State When Canal Opens

Thirty-eight thousand tickets have
been sold in European ports for the
port of Seattle and the owners OF these
tickets will land in the Sound metrop-
oils as soon as the boats can pass thru
the Panama canal. This is the infor-
nation which has been received in Se-
attle. A large percentage OF these
38, 900 tickets have been sold on the
monthly payment plan. This means
that Immediately following the opening
Of the canal this large number OF Eu-
ropean immigrants will be cast on our
shores. It is probable that many
thousands more will be sold when the
boats are ready to run. According to
these figures it is entirely probable that
$4,000 people will be landed in the
state of Washington within year from
the time the canal is opened.
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
is in possession Of the above informa-
ton and is already making plans to
provide for the great influx Of popula-
Many people are beginning to wonder
whether or not the Panama canal is GO
ing to be an unmixed blessing. While
large percentage of these tickets that
have been sold are on the monthly
payment basis, the information has
come from the Seattle Chamber oi
Commerce to the effect that the aver
age amount of money per capita ol
these immigrants will be about $500.

FRANCHISE DENIED BY
WFNATCHEE COUNCIL
Counolmen Demand From Hyman Harris
$4,000 Cash Deposit To Guarantee
Good Faith

The Wenatchee council refused last
Friday to grant an interurban franchise
to Hyman Harris, local merchant,
without $4,000 cash deposit to guar
antee good faith. The council also
insisted on dealing directly with the
principals who propose to build the
line. Harris already has been granted
a franchise on county roads by the
commissioners.
He has given personal assurances to
commissioners and councilmen that he
has the backing Of two millionaires OF
Seattle to build the line without the
need Of selling bonds or shares Of stock.
He said that he is not ready to abandon
his efforts to bring an interurban cleo
tric railway into the Wenatchee valley.

OLD SETTLER PREDICTS MILD WINTER
]. {. Schubert Says That is Years Ago
Snow Did Not Come Until the
9TH of January

Councilman ]. f. Schubert, probably
one OF the oldest settlers in this part Of
the country, having resided in the vi
cinitY Of Leavenworth for more than a
score Of years, believes that we are go
ing to have a very mild winter this
year, with light fall Of snow. 1t was
just eighteen years ago" says Mr..
Schubert, that I remember we had
the lightest snowfall have ever seen
here. 1t was the 7th Of January when
the first came and up to that time the
earth was soft and warm and we had
beautiful weather. By the middle Of
February it had disappeared" All in
dications now point to repetition of
the winter of 1895.

A WARNING AGAINST
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
Many Families Now Guaranteed With
Chicken P0x-ParentS Must Notify
Physician Or Pay a fine

Owing to the numerous cases of
chicken pox which have developed the
past few weeks which DR.. Judah, health
officer, believes is'due largely to neglect
OF parents, whose children are affected
in most cases, he calls attention to the
following law which he says will be
strictly enforced.
Any person violating any of the
provisions Of this act or violating or re-
fusing or neglecting to obey any of the
rules and regulations or orders made
for the prevention, suppression and
control of dangerous, contagious and
infectious diseases by the county board
of health or health officer OF state board
Of health, or who shall leave any pest
house or isolation hospital or quaran-
tined house or place without the con-
sent of the proper health officer, or who
evades or breaks quarantine. or con-
ceals case of contagious or infectious
disease, or assists in evading or break
ing any quarantine or concealing any
case OF contagious or infectious disease
shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be subject to fine Of not less
than $500 nor more than $4,000,
or to imprisonment in the county Jail
not to exceed ninety days, or to both
fine and Imprisonment
The doctor states that he has mott
fed the public school teachers TO watch
for any pupils having rash or eruption
breaking out on their face and if any
are found they are to be sent home
Immediately after the discovery. The
parents are especially warned to keep
their children out of school if there is
the least sign Of any eruption on the
face or body. The spread of the in
fectious malady is due to great extent
to the concealment of the disease says
DR.. Judah, and where he finds cases OF
this kind the offenders will be prose-
cuted according to the above law.
For several years past hardly winter
has passed that there has been an
outbreak of some contagious disease.
Last winter and the winter before it
was smallpox, and previous to that it
was diptheria. While it is quite posi-
BILE that there will be cases Of infect
ious diseases reported before the winter
is over. The health officer says he will
do his utmost to prevent the spread Of
the diseases, and those violating the
provisions OF the above act will be pros
ecuted to the full extent Of the law.

WINDY POINT TUNNEL
FINISHED LAST MONDAY
first Passenger Train Passed Thru the
new Hole Wednesdays 1900
Feet in Length

The Windy point tunnel on the line
OF the Great Northern -three miles east
of Cascade tunnel, on which work has
been progressing for the past four
months was opened for traffic Wed
nesday, No. being the first train to
pass thru the new bore. Daylight
first broke thru the tunnel about 7
o'clock Monday morning according to
Harry McNutt Of this city who came
down from the summit in the after
noon OF the same day, where he has
been employed for several months.
Immediately after the tunnel had been
opened large gang Of men were set
to work laying the steel which was
finished about forty eight house later.
A force OF men are now engaged in
building snowsheds at both of the ap-
proaches of the tunnel, but from all
accounts most OF them are only tenn
porary and will be replaced next year
by concrete sheds. Millions OF dol
lars have been spent the past summer
in building snowsheds, tunnels and
otherwise improving the line and it is
generally understood the Great North
ern will carry on extensive improve
ment work next year. At one time
this summer there was as high as $500
laborers working in the vicinity of Tye,
but this number has now dwindled
down to about 800. Grant Smith &
Co., who had charge Of the work have
made no move as yet TO tear down
their camps and this is said to be an
indication of their returning to do more
work next year. 1t is rumored that
another tunnel from 1000 to 1900 feet
long will be built near the Alvin sta
ton next year.
MIR. McNutt told an Echo reporter
that all the time he was in the en-
ploy Of Grant Smith & Co., he failed
to see or hear Of one serious or fatal
accident, which is a remarkable re-
cord for a construction camp where
thousands OF laborefs were daily per
forming hazardous work. DR.. Roach
employed by the contracting firm was
kept on the run almost every day set
ting broken limbs and dressing minor
wounds, but not one fatality occurred,
among the men employed on the
works, nor was any man totally disa-
bled.

STATE FISH HATCHERY
TO BE LOCATED HERE
Brook Trout and Salmon Spawn VIII be
CuItivated-Work on Hatchery May
be Done This Winter

From J. B. Adams, one of the
County Fish Commissioners, the Echo
learns that the location of new state
fish hatchery in eastern Washington,
which has been under consideration
for some time, was the past week de-
cided in favor of Leavenworth. En-
tiat put in claim but as this place
was nearer the trout streams and an
ideal location was scured for hatch
cry was given the preference. Under
the present law the county is required
to donate some $500 to promote the
enterprise out Of funds arising from
the sale of hunting and fishing licenses,
and as there is upwards of $4,000 in
this fund, which has been accumulat-
ing for several years, it will only re-
ouire formal action by those having
the matter in charge and work can be-
gin on the necessary buildings. The
county money will be turned over to
the state which will assume charge OF
and keep up the plant. AS 1t is pro-
posed to propagate both brook trout
and salmon the plant will be quite
large and give employment to from
five to ten men constantly, beside the
superintendent.
]. B. Adams generously donated
the site for the hatchery, which en-
braces nearly two acres located on the
south side of the Wenatchee river be-
tween the Wenatchee river bridge and
the city's pipe line just below the
dam. When the land across the river
from the present town site is taken into
the corporation the fish hatchery Will
he right in town. The present policy
of the state is to make these hatch
cries show places for the people. Sub
stantial buildings will be erected IN
cluding a house for the superintendent.
The grounds will be laid out by an en-
gineer with proper foot paths, grass
plots, shrubbery and trees.
The present fish and game commits
sioners Of the county are Percy Scheble,
J. B. Adams and ]. H. Bolen, the
former being chairman. Besides stock
ing all the streams in Chelan county
with trout and salmon the Leavenworth
hatchery will also supply young fish Tor
other streams in the eastern part OF
the state. 1t is proposed to procure
the trout spawn from Twin lakes and
the salmon spawn from the Wenatchee
river. -
