The Cashmere Electric Co. Has Asked
County Commissioners for Fran

That the Cashmere Electric & Wa
ter Co., will string their wires into this
city is now practically assured and in
all probability representatives OF the
company will appear before our city
council in the near future asking for a
franchise over the streets of Leaven-
worth. The company has already made
applications for franchises in Cash
mere and Wenatchee and only re-
Gently fled an application with the
county commissioners for a franchise
to set power poles on county roads be-
tween this city and Wenatchee. The
hearing is set for June 1st.
The Cashmere company, which was
organized several months ago is plan
ming to build hydro-electric plant oi
the latest type near Cashmere which
will develop enough power to supply
the whole Wenatchee valley for many
years to come. Sufficient capital has
already been raised to insure its COM

AT an Expense of five thousand Dollars
Will Require Two Months
To Build

Mr.. E. S. Sherwood, connected with
the department of fisheries, of the
state, arrived here the first Of this week
and in talking with representative of
this paper said car load of lumber
had arrived from the coast and also a
shipment of cement, which would at
once be hauled to the location of the
hatchery and work begun. The loca-
ton OF the hatchery is on the south
side of the Wenatchee river, about
half way between the wagon bridge
and where the city's water pipe crosses
the river. The residence for the
superintendent will be 26x44, bungalo
style of architecture and will have hot
and cold running water, baths, toilets
and all modern conveniences. The
hatchery building will also be along
the bungalo style, in size 2Sx64, and
substantially built. The cost will ap-
proximate $4,000 and will require
about two months to complete.

LEAVENWORTH LICKED
BY WATERVILLE TEAM
SOuthpaw Pitcher of the Big BenderS
Too Much for LOcalS-WendtChee
Here Sunday

No hits and one score was the best
that our boys could do at Waterville
last Sunday. Finley, the southpaw
finger Of the Big Blenders, pitched
great game, and with few exceptions
every Leavenworth batsman who went
to the plate took three healthy swings
at the ball and went back to the
bench. The work OF Paine and Bro n
in the box was good, the former only
allowing three hits in six innings, and
the latter two safeties in the remaining
innings, but errors were numerous and
when the ninth inning closed Water
vile had piled up five runs.
The same day in Wenatchee, CASH
mere won by a score of 8 to 7. Up
to the ninth inning the Wenatchee
team led by a score of to 4. In the
last inning the balloon blew up and in
very few minutes four runs had
crossed the plate.
Wenatchee will play here Sunday for
the first time this season and big
crowd is looked for. Fans at the
county seat are planning on special
train, and in that event there will
probably be several hundred visitors
from down the valley.
Following is the score of last Sun
days game:

fish? Oh, Yes, We Had I'm

The trout fishing season opened last
Friday, May 1st, but who ever heard
Of country editor having time to go
fishing? The reason they all live to a
ripe old age is because they can not
afford to take time to die. When the
time comes that they ought to die and
yet can't take the time, like the
Prophet Elijah, they are simply trans
lated. Well, the fellow who by cour-
tesy is called editor of the Echo, didn't
go fishing, but had fish just the same.
Last Saturday party Of four, headed
by that doughty piscatorial expert. j.
D. Wheeler, went to Twin Lakes,
some thirty miles north of Leaven-
worth, and returned Sunday afternoon
with all the trout the law permits and
gave the editor two Of the rainbow va
riety that were beauties, weighing a
pound each. That they were tooth
some goes without saying.

VOTERS OF WENATCHEE
RECALL THREE COUNCI[MEN
Officials Accused of Vote Trading are
0usted by Gtizens-Appeal to
Supreme Court

The recall election in Wenatchee of
Councilmen Wilson and Zener in the
Third ward carried Tuesday by so ma
iority in a total vote of 292. Pybus
was recalled in the Third ward by 78
majority, with $50 votes cast.
1t was quiet election, but marked
by efficient organization work on the
part of recallers and almost no resist
ance by the councilmen and their
friends. Over 20 automobiles were
used to bring recall voters to the polls,
but none for the councilmen's sup
porters.
Our defeat does not mean that vo-
tiers consider US guilty of malfeasance
in Office as the charge reads" declared
Councilman w. R. Wilson. 1t sim
ply shows that voters want Sunday
theaters."
The campaign was waged on con-
slant repetition of the charge that
councilmen conspired with one an
other, by trading votes, to carry their
individual pet measures, Wilson and
Zener working most for the defeat of
Inscho for chief Of police, Pybus striv-
ing for Sunday closing Of theaters.
Judge Steiner rendered an opinion
that this was log-rolling, and, there
fore, malfeasance in office. The Coun-
cilmen denied the charge and were af-
forded no day in court to prove their
innocence. Voters were supposed to
constitute the jury, but it is generally
admitted that they were influenced by
other considerations than the charge of
malfeasance. An appeal to the su-
preme court is now pending, the hear
ing to be next Monday. 1t involves
the sufficiency Of the charges to con-
stitute grounds for recall.
The remaining four members of the
council refuse to fill the places Of their
colleagues until the supreme court
tribunal announces its decision.

Think Twice Before Voting for These
Bills

About fifty thousand industries oi
one kind and another will be affected
by the eight hour measure. 1nititia-
tive Bill No. 13, which it is proposed
to ask the people of Washington to
vote upon. An equal number of in
dustries will be touched by the first
aid law, initiative bill No. 9. These
industries have long payrolls. Mill
ions of dollars have been invested in
them. They are among the most sub
stantial industries in the state.
No man and no woman worth while
in this state is opposed to any fail
measure which would improve the con-
dition of men and women who work
for a living. Public sentiment in
Washington is overwhelmingly in favor
of Legislative policies intended to i'm
prove the condition Of the industrial
masses; but there is no intelligent
sentiment in favor Of experimental pol
icies which might usher in upon us
evils that we dream not of in our phi
losophy.
What we want, and all we have any
right to ask, is the adoption OF such
policies as will be fair alike TO mer
who toll in our industries and tc
men and women who have invested
their money in these industries.
Any policy that puts the fire out in
the factory is doubly wrong, for il
weighs equally heavy on employer and
employee.
