amount of power under permit and in
operation. The number of transmission
line permits in effect was increased by
13 during the year. The 40 applica-
tions for power project permits received
in 1916 included from Alaska nota-
Bile evidence, according to the report,
of increased local interest in power de-
evlopment on National Forest lands in
Alaska.
Concerning the report prepared by
the Forest Seavice in response to re-
solution of the Senate calling upon the
Secretary of Agriculture for information
regarding the ownership and control of
water power sites and any facts bearin g
on the question as to the existence of
a monopoly in the ownership and con-
troll of hydro electric power in the Unit
ed States, Mr.. Graves says: This re-
port presented in far greater detail than
has ever been attempted before an ex-
haustive analysis of the general power
situation. II showed a mark concen-
tration OF definite and complete control
OF a large percentage of developed
water power by very few companies.
Data presented regarding interelation-
ship through common directors and
principal officers indicated a marked
tendency toward association or com
munity Of interests, particularly between
the principal holding companies. The
movement toward concentration in com
mercial central stations OF all the pri-
mary power employed in the electrical
industries and in manufactures was
found in all sections of the United
States, the rate OF concentration during
the period l902-1o12 being highest in
the South Atlantic States and the ex-
tent Of concentration greatest in the
western states.
The rate Of increase in water power
development for public service use
from Ioo2-1o12 was approximately
three times as great as in steam power.

larceny from the person aud was given

and sworn to before Attorney Fox,
recites.

place on the election board until eleven

2nd. That in the Third ward stickers
were found in the ballot box that must

were some twenty-odd Leavenworthians
now residents of Portland. 1t was
Leavenworth evening in every sense Of
the word. Leavenworth was almost the

all those present have kept in touch
with and know what is transpiring at
Leavenworth, and you may be sure
there was plenty to talk about,
After the subject of the evening was
threshed to frazzle card playing was
taken up and indulged in to a late
hour, after which delicious refreshments
were served. 1t was late hour when
the guests finally took their departure,
perhaps it would be more correct to
say the hour was early, so early they
almost missed the Owl car.
The many friends OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Hatch will be interested in learniug
that they have just completed the
erection of handsome new home at
900 Tibbits avenue, which Tor conven-

William Jennings Bryan wants law
to compel newspapers to give greater

published. Every newspaper is flooded
now with requests for publicity from
nearly every department and official
bureau, state and federal.
Newspapers receive from five to ten
letters in days mail setting forth the
importance and value Of services per-
formed by boards, officials and COM
missions. Time taken to prepare all
this matter, paper and postage, are all
at public expense and increase cost OF

WORK ON LEAVfNWORTH
TERMINAL IMPROVEMENT
viii Begin ShOrtIy-12 Sidings Mile Long
-12 New Round House StaIls-24
foot Subway Under Track

The information that extensive i'm
provements in the Great Northern ter
minal buildings and yards would be
made was given out and the fact print
ed in The Echo two months ago, but
not until this week has any one in
Leavenworth seen the plans and blue
prints, or was it ever before given out
when the work would begin. This
week local railr 1ad men had sight Of
the plans and were also told that work
on the improvement would begin short
lY after the holidays.
The most pleasing and important
feature of the contemplated improve
ment is the fact that subway "a feet
wide will be put in about 800 feet
west OF the water tank, where the
track crosses a deep gulch. Sixteen
foot is reserved for vehicle traffic and
eight foot for pedestrians. This i'm
provement will be constructed in a
most substantial manner OF concrete
and stone. The present round house
which has fourteen engine stalls will
be reconstructed and an addition OF
twelve stalls built. The new engine
stalls will not be built in the circular
form but will follow square lines,
which leads some of the railroad men
to suspect that the new stalls are in
tended for electric motors after the
Cascade division is electrified.
There are to be twelve sidings
runing from the west end Of the yard
to the Chumstick bridge, each over
mile long. There will be several other
terminal buildings. For one thing the
machine shop will have larger quart
ers. There will be sand houses, oil
houses, houses for the car inspectors
and repair men. and everything will
be made fire proof as near as modern
methods of construction can make
them.

The Community Concert Enjoy.
able Affair

The third of series Of Concerts,
very appropriately called Community
Concerts, was given in the High
School auditorium last Monday even
ing. The room was crowded and
many could not find seats. These con-
certs are gotten up by Mrs. Helen H,
Carter, teacher in the music and art
department OF the Leavenworth school,
and the interest aroused in their pre-
sentation is tribute to Mrs. Carter's
good taste in selecting program, as
we'll as her energy in securing the CO.
operation OF the best talent in the
town. Every number on the program
was encored. The audience consisted
largely OF the parents and friends OF
the children attending the public
school. Mrs. A. R. McKeon was pre-
vented by sickness from being present,
but her numbers On the program were
filed with substituted selections by
Mrs. Carter, At the conclusion OF the
program a social hour was pleasantly
spent. Announcement OF the next con-
cert will be made in time to give all
who are interested ample opportunity
to attend.

BY-PRODUCTS PLANT
OWNED BY FRUIT GROWERS
WenatChee Valley Men Behind PROPOSE
tiOn-Will be Ready for BuSi-
ness Next Summer

What to do with the low grade ap-
pies of the Wenatchee valley has been
a vexatious problem, one that the fruit
growers OF this valley have given con
siderable thot to in the past few years.
The low grade fruit consists OF all that
will not pass under the packing rules,
such as windfalls, limb marked fruit,
fruit that lacks color and size, and such
as has been worm stung and healed
over.
At a meeting Of some OF the large
growers of the valley held in Wenat-
chez last week an organization to be
known as the Skookum Fruit Products
Co was perfected.
The members OF the company are
all residents OF Chelan and Okanogan
counties. The plant is to be built at
Wenatchee because it is most ce :

delivery of fruit. The organization Of
the by-products plant is really due to
the work done by Barney Sugrue, and
]. B. Adams, who agitated the matter
ever since last summer and had the
plans matured when the fruit growers
met at Cashmere last Thursday to take
final action. Ii required little effort to
secure the fifteen thousand dollars
necessary to put the plant on its feet.
The following officers were elected:
John F. Sugrue, president; J. B.
Adams, vice president, and H. J..
Olive, secretary and treasurer. Trus-
tees, F. T. Paine, Okanogan; H. W.
Otis, Peshastin; Clifford Chase. Brew

the trustees must, however, be ratified
by the different units and organiza-

there decided to at once put into
effect the Great Northern's plan OF
electrifying the Cascade division by the
use OF power from the Chelan power
plant, and instructed the engineers to
go to work on the Chelan plant at once.
The information has been definitely
given out that actual work would begin
shortly after the turn of the year.
