SCENIC HIGHWAY MAY
BE OPENED THIS YEAR
Forestry Department Has Big Appro-
priation for Mountain Road-King
County to do Her Share.

That there is a good chance of the
Scenic Highway being opened for
travel this year is the belief of Chelan
county's representative Jno. A. Gel
latly, who just returned from the last
session of the legislature. In a letter
to the Echo he says:
"The Blewett pass road is to be the
main line of the Sunset Highway, and
an appropriation of state and govern
ment money, together with some
county funds, amounting in all to
s16s,0O0, will be spent on that route
in the next biennium.
"a very definite plan is in action
working to the end that the Scenic
road be opened also. The forestry
service has made some generous prop
ositions toward the opening of this
road and l believe it is going to be
possible to get that road open this
year, or at least not later than next
year. You perhaps know that King
county only lacked little of getting
its portion of the road finished last
year. The government has made a
proposition to put in 100000 on this
road provided King county will finish
its contract and Chelan county put in
$4,000. This will mean wonderful
improvement for our county, and, as
you know, will be the short route to
the coast for us. The road is now
paved from Seattle towards Chelan
county by way of the Scenic route,
a distance of seventy miles, and this
is big asset which we will be in a
position to utilize as soon as we get
this road opened"
For several years King county
commissioners have been anxious to
see the Scenic highway opened up and
Chelan county officials now have as
surances from the west side that their
part of the road will be completed if
this county does its share of the work.
The recent offer of the government
to spend 100000 on the road provid-
ing the two counties contributed to-
wards the expense practically insures
the completion of the road at an early
date.
An effort will be made to commence
the work this summer and finish it if
possible, but if not completed this
year is is sure to be opened by the
summer of 1920.
Forest Supervisor Sylvester believes
that once the road over the mountain
is opened it will not be a hard matter
to get a road down the Tumwater
canyon. The present route is by way
of Lake Wenatchee and down the
Chumstick. By building ten miles of
road down the Canyon from Chiwau-
KUN the distance to the summit would
be shortened some fifteen or eighteen
miles, several steep grades would be
eliminated and it would be more of a
scenic route.

OUTLOOK FOR BUSY SUMMER
IN LEAVtNWORTH PROMISING
The Wheels in the Mills Will soon Be
Humming-Farm and Orchard
Work Begins Next Month

The warmer weather and the dis
appearance of the snow is shown in
the disposition of people to move
around with more energy. In this
part of the Wenatchee valley the snow
fall is usually rather heavy during the
winter months. There is so much
snow in truth that for about two
months, from January first to March
no serious effort is made to carry on
outdoor work of any kind except log
ging. All the saw mills in this vi
cinity did considerable logging the
past three months and several of them
have a summers run of logs on hand.
The Great Northern Mill company al
ways does considerable logging all
summer on their Wenatchee Valley
Northern railroad.
The melting SHOWS at this time of
year always does much injury to our
public road system and the first and
most important work in the early
spring is to repair the public roads.
County Road Superintendent Parish
was here yesterday and said he had
made trip over the roads from Dry
den to Leavenworth, and from Leav-
enworth up the Chumstick to Eagle
creek, and up that creek on foot. He
says while the roads in this vicinity
need repair work they are not in as
bad condition as those in the vicinity
of Cashmere. He says it is too early
by several weeks to do work here eff
fectively and economically, but that as
soon as the roads dry up so that road
machinery can be employed he assures
US our roads will have attention.
While the man on the farm is NOV
ing about with renewed energy, after
a rest of several months, and acted as
if he wanted to get busy, it will be
several weeks before he can get into
the fields with a plow, but the longer
he is compelled to wait to begin the
faster he will make the dirt fly once
he can get into his. fields.
The saw and shingle mill owners
have made repairs and improvements
in their machinery and plants during
the enforced idleness of the past three
months and only wait on a few more
warm days to melt the snow and firm
up the earth when they will all begin
operations. With the exception of the
shingle mill to be erected above Lake
Wenatchee the coming summer all the
saw mills in this vicinity will begin
operations next month. Making fruit
boxes is one of the important occu-
pations of the mills in the upper val
ley and most of them have already
booked orders for fruit boxes that run
into the millions in the aggregate.
Everything points to a busy and
prosperous year for the people in this
part of the country. Fruit prices for
this year are not expected to be lower
than last year, and as this industry is
the principal factor in our prosperity
the situation is viewed with conf
dence.

GRAY on League of Nations.

The writer attended the Chautauqua
at Cortez Friday evening and heard
the Hon. Finly S. Gray lecture on the
League of Nations. Mr.. Gray re-
viewed the history of force and justice
down through the ages as applied to
the individual. He began back before
organized government was known and
showed how the stronger ruled by
might. How individuals settled their
disputes by physical strength. Later
laws were enacted and courts estab
lished and officers appointed so that
it was no longer necessary for men to
use brute strength to settle their differ
ences He also reviewed the age o
dueling, and explained how when a
man was challenged by another he ha d
to accept or forever be disgraced in
the sight of his fellow men. But men
began to see that it was just as homo r
able to settle their disputes in court,
so dueling ceased.
Why cannot the nations settle thei I
disputes in the modern way as the
individuals now do, instead of resort,
ing to the Medieval age? Why not
have laws and courts and judges be.
fore which the nations can bring thei I
disputes?
He did not want his hearers to un
derstand him that the League OF
Nations would do away with all war.
We have laws against stealing yet
people are robbed, we have laws
against murder yet murders are com.
mitted. Would you repeal these laws
and courts and judges because they
are not absolute. proof against thief,
and robbery?
He was pleasant speaker and pre-
sented his arguments in simple Ian
guage and in straight -forwart
manner
