FOREST FIRE
ON FRENCH CREEK

MEN WENT OUT SATURDAY TO
GAIN CONTROL. FIRE % MILES
FROM LEAVENWORTH.

Information was received here last
Saturday that forest fire had been
started by lightning on French creek,
about twenty-five miles west of Leav-

at once gathered up a few men and
provisions and set out from here to
gain control over the fire.
Monday the packer came to town
for more provisions and Ranger Bren-
der sent word by him that the fire
was about two miles up French creek
from its conjunction with the Icicle.
and then about two miles up the hill
from the creek Some five acres were
burned over. On Sunday it was fear
ed that the fire would spread rapidly.
but the men, it seems, arrived Just in
time to gain control and Mr.. Brender
was of the opinion that it would be-
put out shortly.

DEMANDS MADE BY
INDECENT POOR
COMMISSIONERS START CAM
PAIGN TO REDUCE COUNTY
EXPENDITURES IN VARIOUS
DEPARTMENTS.

World: AS a result of the cam
raign recently started by the COM
missioners and other county officials
Of Chelan county, many reductions in
expenditures will be made in various
departments. An investigation of the
expenses connected with the mainten-
ance of INDECENT families has revealed
the fact that two or three times as
much is being spent in this depart
mcnt as ever before
Some of the families include mem
bers well able to work, and their de
mands increase as they find the coun-
t. willing to support them in comfort
and luxury. 1t has been the custom
fol these families to submit a list OF
their needs every week to the county
auditor Below is sample list re-
ceived by Mr. Sheppard on Monday
from one family:
Bread, milk, eggs, butter, sugar.
oatmeal, soda crackers, toothpicks,
lemons, string beans, celery green
peas, cod fish, beets, toilet soap, COM
mon soap, soap flakes, dry onions,
bacon, corn flakes, wood, lard, pota-
toes, rice carrots, cabbage, coal oil
and few other items.
In the future all orders for supplies
must first be approved by a special
committee appointed by the county
and city who will investigate each
case and see what is really needed
Il is unnecessary to state that the
above list of supplies for the present
week was pared down before the or
del was approved.

at about three O'Clock by the light
from fire in their barn. When Mr.
Schons got out the whole south side
of the barn and its interior was a
mass of flame. Neghbors were
aroused and all fought to save the
other buildings. The irrigation ditch

Wild WOMAN SEEN
BY SWITCH CREW IN
V'WORTH YARD
CLOTHED IN NATURES GARB,
ARMED WITH SHEARS, SHE
DODGED ABOUT. AVOIDING
CAPTURE.

Early Monday morning the switch
crew working in the Leavenworth
railroad yard saw woman, clothed,
apparently, only in a mans shirt and
unlaced shoes, armed with a pair of
shears-probably searching for cloth
wherewith to clothe herself, though i
l. not deemed likely that anyone is 50
destitute that they are not properly
clothed.
1t seems that the woman had the
appearance of witch, excepting that
none have mentioned seeing her with
a broom.
The woman-apparition or in the
flesh-dodged about the yard between
cars and under them and the crew
thought at one time that she had been
crushed by cars they were moving.
Finally the switchmen became so
nervous that they cut out the engine
and came to the depot to summon
help in an attempt to catch the wild
woman. The night agent and Night
watch Savage and others, including
Officer Cannon who had gone home to
retire, went down to the eastern part
OF the yard where the woman had
been seen and search was made.
Tracks were found in several places
but the woman had seemingly vanish
ed and up to this writing no one had
seen her again.
The whole matter is profound
mystery which the officers and rail
road employees have been nervously
endeavoring to solve. The solution is
anXiously awaited as it is feared that
the woman may be some one living
right here who walks in her sleep or
wEo, suffering from dementia. is not
responsible for herself.

SURVEY OF GREAT
LAKE W[NATChFf-QU|NCY
PROJECT BEGINS
CREW OF TWELVE STATE REC
LAMATION DEPARTMENT MEN
START ON BIG JOB YESTER-
DAY.

State Reclamation Engineer Lars
Langloe and crew of men were in
Leavenworth yesterday morning and
went out early to begin the work of
surveying the great Lake Wenatchee-
Quincy-Moses Coulee irrigation pro-
ject, construction of which will no
doubt begin next year Their first
work is to decide where the projected
ditch should begin. This, Mr.. Lang
loc thought, would be at the lower
end of Wenatchee Park (Plain). A
reservoir will eventually be construct
ell and the water carried, by means of
a tunnel, through the Beaver Creek
ridge, to the Chumstick valley and
down the east side of this valley to
the Wenatchee valley and along the
hills on the north bank of the Wenat-
chee river to the Columbia, thence
probably to both the Moses Coulee
and Quincy districts, as well as TO
considerable portions of high lands
along the Columbia
Engineer Langloe stated to the
Echo that there is sufficient water
available to irrigate about 40O,O 900
acres, the presumption is that the
ditch will cover some 10000 acres in
the Wenatchee valley and perhaps
from 10000 to 100000 acres in the
Quincy district. This would leave an
abundance of water for use on other
lands if the ditch is made large
enough to carry il.
Engineer Langloe is not new to this
district, as he built the logging road
out of Leavenworth fourteen years
ago for the Lamb-Davis Co., and sew
en- years ago ne went over the same
ground he is now surveying ana
made an estimate of the cost of
project to water the Quincy district.
1t was then estimated that to water
the Quincy district would cost $40, 900
900. He says that the cost of the
present project will be far below that
figure. The ditch will be from IS to
rs miles in length and it is hoped to
have this survey completed in two
months. Ten or twelve men will be
employed on the Job.

STATE ADMINISTRATION NOTES

Olympia.-Though the detail of fix
ing the state levy for the general
school and military funds is one of
the last tasks of thn equalization com
mittee which begins its sessions Sep
tember 6, it may be regarded as cer-
tain that there will be a substantial,
reduction ordered in the total amount
asked from the taxpayers for state
purposes during he coming year.
There are altogether fourteen state
funds raised in part by direct taxa
tion, but the equalization committee
car only exercise discretion in fixing
the total levy for three: the gener-
al, school and military funds. The fol-
lowing state levies are fixed by law
and the equalization committee, which
consists of the Governor, Auditor and
Treasurer, cannot change them:
Cautal building construction fund,
) mill reclamation revolving fund, 5
mill; permanent highways, Is mills
public highways, mill; university
l.l0 mills; state college, ST mill Bel
llngham Normal, 20 mill; Cheney
Normal, .l59 mill; Ellensburg Norm
al, .12 mill; Chehalis Normal, 10
mill; Soldiers bonus, interest and bond
redemption, 1 mill.
Last year the state levied As mills
fol the general fund; 4.SO for the
common schools and $40 of a mill for
military purposes.
1t is believed the requirements of
the military department will not ne
cessitate the levy of the full amount
fiyed last year.
The common schools are supported
by direct taxation and the revenues
from interest on the permanent
school fund, rentals, etc, received
from school holdings. The law re-
qull'eS that an amount equal to $50
fol every child of school age in the
state be raised. A careful analysis of
school finances indicates it may be
possible to cut something off the levy
for common school purposes.
Careful checking of the condition
of the treasury and the estimates of
the different departments for the com
ing year show that the state is in a
better condition financially than ever
it was Poll tax receipts have aided
H. Wiping out the overdraft that was
carried at the beginning of the bien-
mum and good financing has put the
treasury in healthy condition. There
fore it is reasonable to forecast that
the equalization committee will make
good the prediction made long ago y,
Coy. Hart that there would be "sub-
Stantial reduction in the genera
fund tax levy.
Within the past week the Governor
las renewed his warning that he ex
poets the administrative board mem
berS TO make a big saving in their ap
preparations and he has given motto,
that he will not approve deficiency ap
rropriations. The attention of som.
officials has been called to the fac
that they are in danger of overstep
ping their allowances. Therefore it i.

Washington Points the WAY.

This state already provides three
financial safeguards which experts a.
work on plans for national economy
recommend for the federal govern
ment.
1t is proposed to submit consti-
tutional amendment to enable the
President to veto single items in an
appropriation bill. This authority is
now possessed by the Governor of
Washington.
To legislate federal deficiency bills
out of existence it is proposed to for
bid any official to create deficiency
by spending more than the amount of
his appropriation and to create \
board which can meet emergencies bv
drawing on a special fund created bv
Congress.
This state already forbids officials
to create deficiencies. The new adj
ministration code provides the same
kind of machinery for meeting emer-
gencies that now is proposed for the
federal government.
