Sutherland was Some Cleaner

After short stay in this city OF less
than three weeks, Sutherland as he
called himself, to all appearances
descendant OF Abraham and Isaac,
blew out Of town some time last Sun
day night after victimizing several To-
cal business people. On his arrival in
Leavenworth, this bunco steerer and
Con" man which is undoubtedly his
profession, from reports that are now
circulating about, represented him
self to be an artist at the cleaning and
pressing game, and took half interest
in A. L. Haines business. On Satur-
day night at the end of the third week
he evidently decided that the money
was not coming in fast enough, so he
Immediately got busy and passed sew
eral bogus checks. The fact that he
had left town was not discovered until
the following Monday and it is not
likely now that he will ever be ap-
pretended.

APPLE THE KING OF FRUITS
MOST PROFITABLE HERE
All Other fruits and Every Vegetable
Peculiar to Northern Climate
Grows and ThriveS

Because particular stress is laid on
the adaptability Of this country for the
growing Of apples, and the profit in
this occupation, some people may
Jump to the conclusion that other
varieties OF fruit peculiar to the north
ern ATTITUDES are not so we'll adapted or
so profitable. While more attention is
paid to the growing OF apples, because
it is the great staple among fruits, and
more universally used, pears, peaches,
apricots, plums, prunes and grapes are
grown in less quantity tho with equal
success and profit. The same may be
said Of vegetables. The celery and
caulifower grown right here in Leaven'
worth is equal in favor and size to the
best shipped in from California. The
melons all grew to great perfection
here. In truth, there is not single
fruit, vegetable or berry that grows out
OF the ground in the north temperate
zone that does not thrive and grow to
perfection in the, Wenatchee valley.

LAKE WENATCHEF Mill
BUYS CEDAR HOLDINGS
c. A. {. Single Mill Company Contracts
for 5000 Cords of Western Red
Cedar Single Bolt Timber

The District Forester at Portland,
Oregon, has recently approved con-
tract for the sale of six thousand cords
OF western red cedar single bolt tim
Der, on the Wenatchee National Forest,
Washington, to the C. A. C, Mill Co..
of Leavenworth, Washington.
The timber is situated on approx
mately 135 acres in T. 81, NJ, R. 10
E., w. M, in the White River Valley,
Chelan county. Washington. The com
pany, which has already begun cutting
on this sale, pays the government the
stumpage price of so cents per cord in
advance installments of $500 each, and
by the contract is allowed until Deem
Der 81, 1916, for cutting and removal
OF the timber.
The company plans to drive the
single bolts down the White river,
and to tow them across Lake Wenat-
chez to the single mill at the foot of
the lake. From the mill, the manu-
featured shingles are hauled seven
miles by wagon road to Winton, the
shipping point on the Great Northern
railroad

HOME OF F. S. SEARLES
IS DESTROYED BY FIRE
Loss Estimated at Over $4,000 With
$500 Insurance None of the
Contents Saved

The home of F. S. Searles with all
its contents was entirely destroyed by
fire at 1850 Tuesday afternoon. The
origin of the fire is unknown but it is
thought to have started from defec-
tive chimney. Mr.. Searles estimates
his loss at between $4,000 and $500
and carried $500 insurance.
At the the time the fire broke out
Mrs. Searles was at the home OF her
daughter, Mrs. Taylor Yocum, several
blocks distant, and it had gained such
Roadway when she reached the place
that it was impossible to enter the house.
Mrs Searles states that she had fin
ished up her housework shortly after
II o'clock and when she left the
house there was very little fire in the
stove. and she is at a loss to under
stand how the blaze started.
The VOLUNTEER firemen with two hose
carts were on the scene in very few
minutes after the alarm had been
given, although it was an unusually
long run the house being situated in
the west end of town over half mile
from the business district, but by
quick work the fire was kept from
spreading to nearby residences and
outbuildings.
Mr.. Searles told an Echo reporter
yesterday that he would probably re-
build on his lots next year.

BIG APPLE SHOW WILL
BE BITTER THAN EVER
Seventh National Apple Show Will be of
Great Value to Orchard Industry
the State

Paul H. Weyrauch of Walla Walla,
a member of the board of trustees of
the Seventh National Apple Show and
Fruit Products Congress, announces
that in order to make the event OF the
greatest value to the orchard industry
of the Pacific northwest, a great con-
gress, or conference, OF fruit growers
will be held on a much larger scale
than heretofore Mr.. Weyrauch is
arranging for two conference halls in
connection with the apple show TO be
held in Spokane the week beginning
November 16. "Our purpose in doub
ling the space for the congress" he
states, is to offer the growers oppor-
tunity for the widest possible choice of
subjects. Thus a grower having but
two or three days to devote to the con-
ferences will be enabled to select from
a variety of subjects the matters in
which he is most vitality interested.
The plans for this congress OF growers
have been under way for several months
and have progressed sufficiently for US
to announce that we will have some Of
the biggest men in the United States
along various lines to advise US regard
ing our problems. We are endeavor-
ing to insure the attendance of leading
growers from every district in the Pa
cifc northwest, in order that the dis
cussion of each subject from the floor
may have direct application to the
problems OF every district. We have
not made up complete list of subjects
but we are certain the following will be
discussed: Apple blight and tree dis
eases; care of the orchard; cover crops
for the orchard; modern methods of
picking and packing; utilizing the c
grade and poorer fruits in by-products,
with practical demonstrations and mar
keting methods"

SEATTLE CAPITALIST SEES
OPENING FOR INVESTMENT
Thinks Time Ripe for Factories to Take
Care of By-prOduCtS of Orchards

C. H. Cobb, Seattle capitalist and
business man has his eye on the bust
ness possibilities of the Wenatchee Val
ley for the large investor. Mr.. Cobb
has been touring the valley during the
past week, making his headquarters
with Mrs. Cooper, Of Cashmere, who is
an old friend of the Cobb family. With
Mr.. Cobb on this trip is his wife,
prominent club and society woman of
Seattle, and his son Clarence, who at
tends school in the Queen city.
Mr.. Cobb is heavily interested in
real estate and many business lines in
in Seattle. The Cobb building, one
of the finest OF the newly constructed
Metropolitan group, and only special
lied medical building on the coast,
was named after him.
The party spent Wednesday in Leav-
enworth, and all expressed themselves
as vastly pleased with this city and its
possibilities for future growth and ex-
pansion. The main reason for his visit
to the valley is pleasure and recreation,
but underlying this is more pregnant
motive.
For several years Mr. Cobb has been
studying the distribution of the fruit
crop of this section, and has come to
realize that there are great possibilities
for money making in the by-products
end of the fruit industry. With this
thought in mind Mr.. Cobb is looking
over the ground with the idea Of fnanc
ing a centralized de-hydrating plant,
which would handle the surplus fruit
of the whole district. He would give
no definite statement in regard to this
proposition, but the fact that he even
remotely considers the thing feasible
would tend to show that he considers
it great opportunity, and opportunities
are not allowed to slip by men Of his
caliber, so we may we'll look for de-
velopments along this line in the near
future.
The fact that men of Mr.. Cobb's
standing in the financial world are be-
ginning to wake up to the fact that the
Wenatchee Valley offers wonderful
opportunities to the large as we'll as
the small investor shows that this sec
ton is beginning to attract more than
mere attention. 1t is beginning to
enlist the capital and energy of really
big men, and that means future pro-
gress in comparison to which our al
ready remarkable record will become
insignificant.

Arrested For BOOtlegging

D. Fisher and ]. D. Knowlton
charged with having committed the
crime OF bootlegging, plead guilty in
Wenatchee Wednesday and each paid
a fine of IS and costs. According to
the Wenatchee World the two men
were arrested in that city last Saturday
on account OF having in their posses
sion two gallons Of whiskey and one
case of beer, which the Wenatchee
authorities contended was more liquor
than the men were entitled to carry
into dry territory.

OUR MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM IS
SUFFICIENT TO SUPPLY $4,000 PEOPL
Unsurpassed in Quaiy-Fee From Possible ContaminatOnHg Gravity
Pressure for Fire Protection
Written by City Engineer E. K. Barnum.


sulphates tend to produce unpleas-
ant and laxative effects.
Within the last year numerous
chemical and psychological tests
have been made at the University
/. of Washington of both the Wenal-
chez and Icicle rivers, at the re-
quest of our health department to
determine the constituents of these
waters. In each case the results
have been negative, showing no
contamination or disease breeding
germs whatsoever. In fact, con-
tamination from colon bacili was
entirely absent, which fact must
certainly be a source of great salts
faction to us.
The Icicle river watershed COM
prises an area of approximately 20S
square miles of mountainous, tim
bered country, comparatively free
from human contamination and fall
ing at least 5000 feet in 40 miles or
at the rate of 1875 feet per mile.
The average velocity thus attained
is more than sufficient to be self
purifying.
The point of intake to the city
supply system is located approx
mately ST miles upstream from
the city and consists of rock-fill-
ed, crib intake with suitable
screens to prevent the larger sus-
pended matters, as we'll as fish, ETC..
from entering the pipe, The first
$50 feet of pipe consists of wire
wound wood pipe IA inches in dia-
meter laid on a comparatively flat
grade. The balance of the distance
to the city, the water is conveyed
through 10-inch wood pipe laid be-
low the hydraulic grade line of said
system. At point opposite the
city and situated at the proper ele-
walton, there has been constructed
standpipe reservoir built of con-
crete, so feet wide by 10 feet high
having a capacity of approximately
10000 gallons. The vertical dis
lance from the surface of the water
in reservoir to relative average ele-
walton of the city is approximately
173 feet, giving a pressure in the
city of rs pounds per square inch.
The distributing system within the
city consists of approximately 49,
900 feet of wood pipe ranging from
four inches to eight inches in dia-
meter, and AZ two-base hydrants
with a constant pressure of rs lbs.
at the hydrants.
Each stream will discharge ap-
proximately 1926 gallons of water
per minute and will attain a verti-
cal height of about S5 feet.
In conclusion 1t might be stated
that with the present arrangement
the system is capable of discharg-
ing about 100000 gallons of
water per "a hours, while during
the warmest summer days the
greatest consumption will reach 80
gallons per capita per "a hours, or
about 100000 gallons per "a hours.
1t can readily be seen that there is
ample water to care for considerable
future growth, as we'll as care for
sudden readiness to serve demands.
Based on these calculations
there is no question but what the
present system can safely supply
the demand of a city of at least ten
or twelve thousand people, with the
very best and purest water that can
be had
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-09-11

Leavenworth receives its water
from the Iclicle river. The Icicle
river rises in the vicinity of Sec. 9,
T. "a N, R. IA E. of Willamette
meridian, at an altitude between
1900 and 600 feet, being fed by
seven or eight small lakes and one
larger one, approximately three
fourths mile long and one-half mile
wide. From this point the river
flows in a southeasterly direction,
through steep precipitoLs canyons
receiving additional water from sew
eral other large streams such as
Eight-Mile creek. Swan creek and
many other smaller streams, all ris-
ing in the higher attitudes of the
Wenatchee mountains. Finally the
junction of the Wenatchee and Ic-
icle river occurs at a point near the
City of Leavenworth at an elevation
of approximately 100. Before en-
tering into a general description OF
the supply system would it not be
interesting to look briefly into the
controlling features of a pure and
healthful supply of water for munic-
ipal purposes?
The value of water for any partic-
ular use is determined by the nature
and amount of material it solves in
suspension and solution. Water for
drinking must be free from poison
Gus chemicals or disease producing
organisms and from excessive
amounts of dissolved materials. 1t
should be clear, ordorless, colorless
and palatable. Water for cleasing
should be soft and free from large
amounts of iron. Water for indus
trial processes should not contain
substances which will combine with
the raw materials and add injury to
the finished product or the waste of
materials of manufacture. How
ever, even rain, the purest natural
water, contains appreciate amounts
of organic or inorganic materials,
both in solution and in suspension.
Carbon dioxide and oxygen, the
most important gases dissolved in
rainfall are powerful agents of So
luton and oxidation, and the water
containing them having reached the
earth, begin at once to acquire a
further charge of dissolved mat
ters. All elements are soluble in
water to some extent, but few are
found in appreciable amounts in
natural waters. The important ma
terials usually found are silica, iron,
alumina calcium, magnesium, potas-
stun, carbonates, bicarbonates, sui
pilates. CELEBRATES, nitrates and or
ganic matter.
The presence of sodium chloride
in water in amounts greater than
400 parts per million can be detect
ed in the taste by most persons, and
water containing 1000 parts per
million would be palatable to few.
Water containing large amounts of

LIGHT VOTE CAST HERE
IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION
Chelan Co. Man May Win Nomination for
COngress-BIaCk and Turner Both
Claim Senatorial Nomination

Tuesday the day of the primary cleo
ton saw an unusually light vote in this
city, less than so per cent of the reg
istered voters turning out to the polls.
In this respect, however, Leavenworth
was not far behind the hundreds OF
other precincts thruout the state, where
from all accounts only about half Of the
normal vote was cast. The only ex
cuse that we can figure out is that the
war is the most important question OF
the hour, or at least the voter thought
so.
The republican party drew the larg-
est vote, due probably to the fact that
there were more contests in their ranks
and also on account Of their being a
Chelan county man, John A. Gellatly,
a candidate for Congress.
For congress it appears that Harry
Rosenhaupt is the winner, although
Percy Powell and A. J. Wilson ars pres
sing him hard. Okanogan county and
several other precincts have not as yet
been heard from and John A. Gellatly
still has hopes that he will land the
nomination. In the democratic ranks
George Turner and Judge Black are
running neck and neck and both claim
ing the nomination for the U. S. senate
and it will probably be several days be-
fore the final results are known.
From the latest returns it appears
that S. ]. Chadwick received a major
ity and is elected to the state supreme
court bench. The others nominated
are Mills, Pemberton, Holcomb and
Crow.
