to Pacific avenue at 18th, where
the cable stops, and turn north
on Pacific to connect with the
electric tracks.

Asylum
System

DIR. A. p. Calhoun, superintend-
ent of the Fort Steilacoom insane
asylum, against whom much
criticism has been directed dur
ing the past two years because
of alleged injusticos to patients,
will leave the institution Novem-
Der /. Under threatened ex-
posture of conditions at the asy-
lum. 1t Is reported. DR.. Calhoun
rendered his resignation to Gov
ernor Lister yesterday. DIR. w. N.
Keller of Tacoma is said to be
slated for the position.
Attorney Harry II. Johnston of
Tacoma, who has obtained the
release OF seven sane patients at
the institution on habeas corpus
proceedings in two years, is be-
lieved to have been instrumental
in bringing pressure to bear
against DIR. Calhoun.
Penal System
Nov that Calhoun is going to
leave, / don't like to knock him."
said Attorney Johnston today.
THAT would be kicking a man
when he's down.
But l will say that / have in
vestigated the asylum from end
to end and IL is rotten. A sys-
tenn of penal servitude exists
there. Sane men who have re-
covered from their mental
trouble, and sane men who were
untustly sent to the institution,
are forcibly confined there,
prisoners without redress, just
because they happen to be art
isans or workmen who can help
the institution make a record.
Needs Cleaning
Patients are forced to work.
There is no alternative The in
stitution makes elaborate reports
showing the work accomplished
and the money saved through
this system of servitude.
I'm the interests of humanity,
| most certainly hope that the
successor of DR.. Calhoun make a
cleaning out and give fair treat
ment to the patients. There are
sane men in that institution right
now that ought to be released"

FRANK ]. KLINE NOW
OUT OF THE ASYLUM
Was Taken to California and Must Re-
main Away from Washington

Frank ]. Kline, Spokane banker
and lumberman, who was committed
to the asylum at Medical Lake last
April after he became mentally un-
balanced and shot F. c. Riggs, super
intendent of the Lamb-Davis Lumber
Co.'S plant in this city, has been re-
leased on a court order from Presiding
Judge William Huneke, of Spokane,
which provides that Mr.. Kline must
remain outside the state with his wife
until he has fully recovered from his
business worries.
The release of Mr.. Kline, who has
already left for southern California with
his wife, followed private conference
Monday between the judge and wit
nesses. DR.. ]. M. Semple, the former
superintendent of the hospital, and DR..
Oliver, acting superintendent, sug-
gested that the banker be released on
parole. They advised, however, that
he be removed from this region pend
ing his complete recovery. as he has
apparently not fully recovered from his
nervous breakdown.
Attorney Horace Kimball accom-
panied Mrs. Kline and witnesses to
the courtroom Monday, when plans
were discussed for the release. 1t was
finally decided that Mrs. Kline should
give a $1,000 bond, after which she
should leave Immediately with her
husband for California. She expects to
visit Honolulu during the coming year
before returning to Spokane, if Mr..
Kline should continue to improve.
Mr.. Kline, who was manager of the
Mechanics Loan & Trust company
and the Lamb Davis Lumber company,
shot F. c. Riggs, superintendent of the
lumber company, while in the Tum-
water Savings bank, at Leavenworth,
April Q, last year. The Kline home is
at Thirteenth avenue and Madison
street.
Mrs. Kline complained that her hus-
band had threatened to kill her and
asked that he be committed to the
asylum.

Mr.. and Mrs. WEIGH Leave Saturday

Mr.. and Mrs. Turner Welch expect
to leave on No. ! Saturday on trip,
that will eventually take them back to
their old home at Webster City, Iowa.
From here they will go to Seattle, and
from there, to Portland and Salem,
Oregon; where they will spend some
time with old friends, after which they
will continue on their way; stopping of
at Salt Lake for few days, and arriv-
ing at Webster City about the middle
of April. Mr.. Welch hopes while in
the east to dispose of some valuable
ranch property and in that event will
return to this city. Should he not be
successful. he says in all probability,
he will settle down and become a
rancher.

ROUND HOUSE REMOVAL
THERE'S NOTHING TO IT
The Fact That There Are Surveyors in
Wenatchee Means Nothing-This
is the Logical Point

In the past week or ten days we
have heard more or less talk of the
Great Northern roundhouse being
moved to Wenatchee and after thor
ough investigation we arrive at the
conclusion that the report has no
foundation whatsoever. 1t is true that
for the past two weeks the railroad
company has had surveyors in Wenat-
chez, but from we'll posted railroad
official we have it that the engineers
are doing nothing more than running
lines for three additional storage tracks
in the yards in that city.
The past year or two the company
has been continually buying more
property in that vicinity, but we have
been informed that this was for the
sole means OF protection since the c.
P. & R. and Milwaukee roads have
been planning on invading the We
natchee and upper Columbia river
country. The railroad man also tells
the reporter that Leavenworth is the
logical point for the division and SCOTS
at the rumors that change is con-
templated.

DR.. McKeown received letter this

Clarence Olson the young man who
last week had his jaw broken while
loading ice at the roundhouse, saying
that Olson arrived at his home at Mis-

was doing nicely. 1t is not thought
that there will have to be any more
operations and in the course of time
he will be able to use his jaws as well
as before the accident. The news
pleased the doctor very much as he
says it was one OF the toughest cases
he has had in all his medical practice.

COUNTY AUTO OWNERS
FORM AN ASSOCIATION
LeayenwOrth Will be Representations
mittee to Push the Completion of Cas-
cade Scenic Highway

The Chelan County Automobile As
sociation was formally organized in We
natchee Monday night at a meeting
held in the Commercial Club parlors.
Officers elected were: c. S. Mantell,
president; J. C. Lilly, vice president;
A. z. Wells, treasurer; Otto Wagner,
secretary. 1t was decided to name the
board Of trustees of seven later, having
majority of the members from We
natchee and Cashmere in order that
quorum can be secured on short notice,
but also having represented the dis
tricts Of Leavenworth and Chelan. The
executive committee is composed OF
the above officers and ]. A. Gellatly.
Discussion was quite thorough and
prolonged on the subject of city ordi
nances regulating motoring, and the
enforcement OF same.
The objects of the club are to fur
ther the good roads movements that
have been started in the county and
particularly the improvement and COM
pletetion of the Cascade Scenic High
way.
A committee, composed of ]. A.
Gellatly, ]. S. Mooney and L. H. Tit
chenal, was appointed to investigate
the most feasible and efficient methods
of proceeding with the work of build
ing this highway and to make recon-
mendations to that end to the club at
its next meeting.
A committee was also appointed to
confer with the authorities in the mat
ter Of regulation and proper enforce
ment of ordinances governing the use
of automobiles. This committee is
composed of w. T. Clark, o. ]. Noon
ey and Ed. S. Russell. The club will
cooperate with the authorities TO bring
about sane and careful driving of auto
mobiles and will use its influence to Sc
cure the proper punishment of habitual
violators and offenders to the end that
Speeding and careless driving may
be wiped out.
The club voted $500 to apply to
the $500 required Of Wenatchee by
the Automobile Trail Blazers Associa-
ton in order to have the Red Line
Route, or the main transcontinental
route come through Wenatchee.
J. c. Lilly, of Cashmere, promptly
pledged another $500 for Cashmere,
and it was hoped that the Wenatchee
Commercial club would donate the bal
ance. Mr.. Meggs, the representative
Of the Association, was in Seattle last
night and has telegraphed that the mon
ey would be sent forthwith.
The advertising value of this trail or
main transcontinental highway coming
through Wenatchee would be hard to
estimate, Some member OF the club
was bold enough to suggest that ulti-
mately the scenic grandeur and beauty
of Chelan county, when its highways
are improved, would rank as its greatest
asset; and why not? How many know
that there are more glaciers in Chelan
county alone than in all Of Europe7

45,000.00

Now, if the above figures are about
right, and we submit that they are not
far wrong, then the present value OF
the lighting system is not over $780,
900. We do not assert that they are
exact in exery respect, but they are
approximately correct. If radically
wrong we will cheerfully publish cor
rections. OF course there have been
repairs and extensions made in the
past two years, but thee has also been
deterioration from wear and tear, and
probably one will Offset the other.
Now, assuming the gross revenue from
the lighting system is $4,000 per
year, the expense Of operation charge
able 10 the lighting system cannot be
over 100000 or $12,000.00 for the
lighting system, telephone system, and
supply company together. This would
leave a net revenue of $14,000.00 or
70 per cent on $20,000.o0.
OF course if the value OF the light
ing system is really $120. 900, the net
profit is comparatively moderate. II
the lighting system by itself is reasonably
worth this amount by the same token
and percentage of valuation, the bal
ance OF the company's property is
worth $3.50, 900, or all combined,
$270,000. We know of no method
Of calculation save Falstaff's multipli-
cation of men in buckram and Kendall
green by which to reconcile the above
figures. We confess ourselves uncon-
vinced for much the same reason that
the true prince refused to be con-
vinced that three men could suddenly
become eleven. Below we submit as
one reason why we cannot accept
the larger figures. In rendering the
property OF the Tumwater Light &
Water Company for taxation in the
year 1918. the following valuation was
placed on the property.
Tumwater Light & Water
Company. ---S24, 100000
Tumwater Telephone Com
nony 2.64O. 90
No separate rendition OF the prop
erty of the Leavenworth Supply Com
pany seems to have been made, and
it was probably included in one or the
other of the above items. For the
present this must suffice. We may
have occasion in the future to refer to
this matter again and to further quote
figures.
The revenue from one of the Gus
toners of the Tumwater Light & Wa
ter Co. will, in nine years, more than
pay the first cost OF the entire lighting,
water, telephone system and all other
property belonging to the company,
and leave as a profit the snug sum Of
SIS, 900. 40 received from the city and
Great Northern railroad for a minor
portion Of the property originally ac-
quired for S45 900.
In the face Of this unimpeachable
fact, will anyone, even the council
committee that reported that the rate
did not seem to be too high, deny
that the rates should be lowered?
