FIRE PROTECTION Falling lo Incorporate, Four Skyko- niloli .lieu Put in a Wuter s> »lem of Their Own Skykomish, a town located on the Great Northern, just across the moun- tains, not as large as Leavenworth, had a fire two months ago, in which a num- ber of business men were sufferers, and failing to secure the consent of the town to incorporate on account of the fear some people had that the railroad would move away from the town, four of those who were converted to the ne- cessity for protection, T. J. Manny, ho- tel; P. McEvery, saloon; John Malony. merchant and P. F. Lyman, confection- ery, decided to put in a water system on their own account, and not wait on any one else. Preferring to invest a portion of their capital and having fire protection rather than investing it all in business with the chance of losing it all. They will lay a. ten inch wooden pipe to a spring, a distance of 3000 feet at a cost of one thousand dollars and then convey it to the buildings of the respective subscribers in a four inch pipe. They will have enough pressure to throw the water over their build- ings. bun Club Elect* Officers The Loavenworth Gun Club was or- ganived for the purpose of protecting the game and fish of this portion of the state, and incidentally to encourage the art of wing shooting at the traps. At a meeting held last week for the purpose of perfecting the organization, the following officers were elected: H. H. Dean, president, G. W. Hox- sey, vice-president, F. S. Jacobsen. sec- retary, George Keating, treasurer, and H. H. Dean, captain. They have secured good grounds on the corner of H. E. Carr's place beyond the mill, have built a small club house, and with traps and blue rock targets on hands, have arranged to shoot every Sunday at 2:00 p. m. Mrs. Clara Coun has gone to Leaven- worth for a short visit.—Quincy Quill. The Mill Co. have begun laying a six inch water main alocg Commercial street. Miss Nellie Culp, of Wenatchee, is visiting the family of G. 8. Merriaw, this week. The dates for the Chelan county fair have been fixed. It will bo held Sept. 21,22,23 and 24, beginning Wednes- day. The Chelan fruit growers will make an effort to cpture the ?400 prize offered by the Yakima State Fair for the best display of fruit. The Fruit Valley Journal of last week said that a Leaven north man is figur- ing on running for county clerk on the democratic ticket. F. F. Farnsworth was a Wenatchee visitor to Leavenworth this week. He was on his way home from Seattle last Tuesday morning and saw the tire in progress from the train. H. M. Wall has let the contract for building a fine new residence to S. H. Snook. There is to be seven rooms and bath, and will be located just west of H. H. Dean's on Commercial street. Deputy State Superintendent of Pub- lic Schools McCully gave it as his opin- ion last week at the state meeting of school superintendents that no teacher ought to be employed who is under twenty years of age. The gun club shoot last Sunday was not very well attended ou account of a shortage of ammunition, several mem- bers being unable to get any at all.Con- sequently there were only three shoot- erß, who shot at 25 targets each. It. T. Kinf? broke 15, W. L. Wester 16 and U. H. Dean 19. Some of those people who have been fishing close to the dam had better be very careful in the future, a? the law roads:"lt is unlawful to take fish in any manner within 300 feet of any tishway," and we oow have a club organized here for the purpose of looking after all game and fish law violators. F. M. Scheble, the Wenatchee lum- berman was a visitor to our town last week, and while here called on the Echo. Mr. Scheble »ays there is more improvement going on in his town than ever before. A half dozen brick busi- ness blocks will be built this summer and h'ipdr«^- of residences. BUYS DRUG STORE Dwlght Darling Buys Hard}-Stewart Drug Co"*. Stock at Everett Mr. Darling- intends to put in a lar- ger stock and better fixtures than he had before. He will move the fixtures and part of his Everett stock to Leav- enworth. The following is clipped from an Everett paper: The drug store belonging to the Har- dy-Stewart Dru^ company was sold to- day to Dwiglit Darling. Mr. Darling- took possession of his new store this afternoon. The details of the transac- tion are not given out. Mr. Darling will transfer his drug business to the store now occupied by the company he hag bought out. The old store located in Realty block will be moved to Leavenworth, lo take the place of the store recently burned there' Both stores will kept open for a few days until everything is in readi- ness for the change to Leavenworth. When Mr. Darling was in Leaven- worth last Tuesday, after the fire, he let a contract for a new building to be sufficiently completed by to-night so that he could move a stock of goods in- to it. It will not be entirely clone for some time, but there will be a roof and sides and floor, so that business can be resumed. The new building will be fit- ted out entirely with the stock and fix- tures in Mr. Darling's old store in Re- ally block. Comparatively few changes will be made in the newly purchased store. CHIPS FROM CHIWAUKUM Mr. and Mrs. Duncan and family ar- rived from Cedio Wooly Saturday. Mm. Duncan is cooking at the Nason Creek Logging camp. Mrs. Harris' sister from Monitor baa been visiting her the past two weeks, she returned home Monday. Mr. McCutchen, of Mission, was here the first of the week but returned homo Wednesday. Mr. W. H. French who has been vis- iting his brother Charley left for Eu- gene City, Oregon, Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Tucker, of Wenatchee. went to Lake Wenatchee this week. Mr. Tucker will teach a three months term of school up there. Chas. Cass recently bought a team of horse* and is hauling lofts for Oliver Bates. Monday as the passenger train, Xo. 1 was coming- through the canyon a tree fell on the smoking oar but no damage was done. Mis. Brooks from Nasou Creek WM down Monday. Mr. Nichols, night operator, has tak- en a position as nyent live miles east of Skykomife'a. W. W. Thompson wont to Wenat- chee Sunday and returned Wednesday with a 8100 pound team. Bob Johnson was here Wednesday. The largest single farm of Washing- ton is owned by E. F. Benson, of Ta- coma, and W. 11. Babcock, of Walla Walla. The ranch owned by these two men comprises GO.OOO acres, which they own. and 24.000 acres held by lease. It is fifty miles from one end to the other. The land is in a section where three years ago there were 900 square miles without a single settler. Mr. Babcock purchased it about live years ago and believed it could be well supplied with water and made a good paying farm. The good wheat land is on a bench 1,100 feet above the Columbia river.and two miles back of the river. A thirty- horse power traction engine is used to pump the water from the Columbia back upon the bench and into a big res- ervoir holding 100,000 gallons. Water from the reservoir is piped a consider- able distance to a point where it will be handy for the big traction engine that runs the plow and is also used for do- mestic purposes.—Mabton Chronicle. Black diphtheria has broken out in Waterville and last weeek there were two deaths from the disease—Miss Bes- sie Stelner and Harvey Slack. There are a number of other cases but it Is not believed they will terminate fatal- ly. Just how to account for the disease breaking out at this time the doctors are at a loss to account. All children under sixteen are forbidden to be on the street after nine o'clock. RAILROAD TO WATERVILLE Thirty Thousand Dollar* Deposited til Bank and Survey Commenced The Bridgeport Post of the 3rd inst. contained the information that as an earnest, the parties that are behind thd project hare deposited money In the bank at Waterville to pay for prelimi- nary work. Doug'as county has long needed a line of road through the cen- ter of the county to hau! off the wheat which has heretofore had to pay a long wagon and boat haul. The road Is of incalculable interest to the farmers as a means of saving of from ten to fifteen conts per bushel on all the grain grown in thu Big Bend country. "J. F. Me Daniel, proprietor of the Waterville - Bridgeport stage line, brought glad tidings from the county seat Monday evening last relative to the building of a railroad from the southern part of the county to this city. He stated that $30,000 to pay for sur- veying and other preliminary steps es- sential in inaugurating such an under- taking had been deposited by the pro- moters in A. E. Case's bank and that engineers were now in the field survey- ing the most desirable route, one that will have the least grade and at the same time tap the largest portion of the rich wheat belt of the Big Bend In Douglas county. The general impress eion in Waterville, he said, wa9 that the proposed road would run east frord Rock Island to Moses coulee, tbea noriheast to one of the big draws which run in a northwesterly direction to Douglas, then to Waterville, then northeast to the head ofFoster creek, then down to Bridgeport. This route would, in the estimation of those famil- iar with the topography of the country, have many advautages overall othera suggested in connection with the con- struction of a railroad through tho county as the grades would be very light and the expense of building and operating the line correspondingly reasonable. He also said it was his Un- derstanding the road would be opera- ted by steam locomotives at first, but later on electrical power, generated at Chelan Falls, would be snbutituted. Mr. MePaniel is convinced the undertaking will be carried out as above outlined, as good, reliable nun are liack of it." Lack of roiirlenj- The Bridgeport Post thus points a moral and adorns a talc: "When William Jenninjrs Bryan ar- rived at London, England, a few months ago, Ambassador Choatc. republican to the chore, went out of his way to right handsomely entertain the national dem j ocratio leader. He also gave a dinner in honor of Mr. Bryan in which ho in- vited mauy of England's most distin- guished statesmen and scholars. Albert E. Mead, the nominee of the republican party for governor, ventured into this part of his own state a fortnight ago and the Spokane Spokesman-Ueview piqued because its wishes wera not gratified at the Tacoma convention, goes out of its way to treat the west side gentlemen discourteously, con- temptuously even. Is the stand taken by the Review fair, manly, or in con- formity with good breedin^V It is not in the nature o! the S.-R. td be either fair or courteous. One day last week Ilial paper published a first page story with box car headlines, about Lew Bowman being a political boss in Chelan county, aud republican chairman, when it recently published an account of the election of L. M. Hull a.6 county chairman in April. Last weet; Charles Northup had thß misfortune to get a piece of steel in his eye. lie was hammering on a plow und a small chip broke off penetrating the eye ball. He went to Seattle to consult an eye specialist and endeavor to have it removed and if possible save the loss of his sight. It was paining him very much when he left. Startling Evidence Fresh testimony in great quantity constantly coming in, declaring Dr. Kiugo New Discovery for Consumption Coughs aud folds to unequalea. A recent expression from T. J.McFarland Bentorville, Ga. serves as example. Ha writes: "I had bronchitis for three year* and doctored all the. time without Ming beaeflttad. Then I began taking Dr. K:i:;'s New Discovery, and a few bottles wholly cured me." Equally ef- fective in coring all Throat and Lung troubles, Consumption, Pueumonia and Grip. Guaranteed by the City Drug Store. TJ-ial bottle* free, regular rizee 60c and Tl .00.
