ICIClE MAY FURNISH
WATER FOR VALLEY
Huge Water System Is Now Being
Talked of to Supply Water to
Cashmere and Wenatchee

A few weeks ago the city council of
Leavenworth realizing that the pres
ent water supply of the city was in
adequate for it's needs, engaged Otto
Weile, a well known engineer of Spo-
kane, to make plans and specifications
of a dam to be built on the Icicle.
The dam to be used for the purpose
of providing a storage reservoir and
in addition was to be built with view
of making use of it in connection with
a municipal lighting plant which is
being proposed.
Now there has been revived in the
lower valley an agitation for a water
system to supply the whole valley as
far east as Wenatchee, taking its sup
ply from the Icicle. Several years ago
such project was proposed and pro-
nounced feasible.
The Wenatchee World has the fol-
lowing to say of the project:
"There is natural dam site at this
place an it is believed that dam less
than thirty feet high would impound
sufficient water for the use of all
cities and towns in the Wenatchee
valley and half the ranchers besides.
While no complete report has yet
been made and no definite action has
yet been taken, the feasibility of the
project is said to be practically as
sured, and the expense is not very
great.
BY joining with Leavenworth in this
project, Wenatchee, Cashmere and in
fact the entire water district as con-
templated in the bonding proposition
included in the enabling act passed by
the legislature through Sam r. Sum-
ner's efforts, would secure an ade-
quate and unsurpassed water supply.
In order to consumate such pro-
ject it would be necessary to form the
district by an election and then vote
upon the required bond issue.
The water from the Icicle is said to
be absolutely pure at the point where
the dam is proposed to be built. There
is practically no chance of any con-
tamination ever taking place in the
future above this point.
The principal cost of water sys-
tenn designed to supply the lower val
ley would be the pipe line and distrib-
uting system. It is possible than an
engineering report may be made COW
ering the entire proposition in order
that the matter may be placed before
the people of the entire valley.
There are several other propositions
in connection with water supply for
the valley. One is to take the water
from Snow creek.
In either case there would be a
sufficient fall to the water to produce
a great many thousand horse power,
and a combination between the cities
and the electric power company has
been suggested as a means of solving
the problem of both.

LAMB-DAvTs WINS SUIT

Judge Grimshaw has dismissed the
damage suit brought by the Empson
Packing Co. against the Lamb Davis
Lumber Co., in which damages were
sought for the non-delivery of a
large order of boxes during the sea-
son of 1917.
1t appears that the contract under
which the suit was brought had been
abrogated by another contract which
was accepted by both parties. 1t is
stated that a new suit will be brought
under the new contract.

"wheatless. meatless. eatless" days
for all the evidence indicates an

that speculation and extortion are TO
cease. and that the full power Of the
Government as exercised in war time
will be reinvoked against those whose
charges are too high.

will be nine or ten members, selected

Meanwhile all dealers are urged

These margins were carefully studied
by local committees with the assist

Dealers who do not exceed the
margins thus established cannot
properly be charged with pronteering.
Prices In excess OF such margins when
found will be reported 10 the Attor-
