UK WANTF.D TO BE "IT," AND
nil. it ,i; SAID "NIT."
The Echo reiterated last week
•what it has stated from the very
beginning of the campaign. That
Mr. Mcßride Could not be nomi
nated for governor of the com
monwealth of Washington in a
repnblican convention, and the
facts indicate that the reasons for
saying so were well taken. Had
Mr. Mcßride contented himself
with wanting to be chief execu
tive there might have been some
show for him to have realized his
ambition, but he wanted to be
legislature as well as governor.
He wanted to make the railroad
commission law and then execute
it. In short, he aspired to be a
political dictator. He staked his
political future on a single cast
of the die, and he lost, and it is
well.
Under the constitution of the
state of Washington it is the duty
of the governor to execute the
law as he finds it on the statute
books. If the state leislature,
the LAW MAKERS for the peo
ple, see fit, in compliance with
instructions from the people, to
pass an elective commission law
it will become the duty of the
governor to execute that law.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
As a good citizen, Mr. Mcßride
had, like every other man, the
right to go before the people of
his legislative district and urge
that the law maker from that
district be instructed to vote and
work for an appointive commis
sion, but when Governor Mc-
Bride said to the free and inde
pendent voters of the great state
of Washington, you must elect
me governor and you must also
elect a lot of law makers who
will do as I say, he overstepped
the bounds of reason aud pru
dence, and the people very pro
perly turned him down. Mr. Mc-
Bride's presumption, in going
before the people of every coun
ty in the state and telling them
what he wanted, was only
equaled by his poor judgement.
When the day arrives that the
people fail to put the stamp of
disapproval on a man of Mr. Mc-
Bride"s character they will not
object to a dictator.
The Wenatchee Advance last
■week celebrated the issue of its
first number for the fifteenth
year by changing from a seven
column folio to a five column
quarto. Not doubling but con
siderably enlarging in size. The
Advance has always been a good
county paper and under the edi
torial management of Major A.
S. Lindsay is constantly improv
ing. With a live town and liber
al support why shouldn't the
Advance be a good paper. Peo
ple abroad read the Advance and
say that must be a live go-ahead
town, and when they get there
they are not disappointed. A
good paper invariably indicates
a good town. Hurrah for the
Advance. In the language of
Rip Van Winkle, "May it live
long and prosper."
Already the Spokesman-Re
view has shown its cloven foot.
Having defeated Mcßride for the
nomination for governor it now
intimates that the republican
ticket will be defeated at the
polls this fall. Before the cam
paign is much older that paper
will advise all who supported
Mr. Mcrßride to vote the demo
■ cratic ticket.
LEAVHNWORTH ECHO.
Someone who has taken the
trouble to look np the statistics
has made the discovery that
there are more saloons in the
state of New York than there are
in all the Southern states put
together.
The man who went out into the
pasture and sat down on a rock
and waited for a cow to back up
to him and be milked, was oldest
brother to that other man who
kept a store and did not adver
tise, because he reasoned that if
he waited, the purchasing public
would back up to his place when
it wanted something. The man
is still sitting on the rock but the
seat has gone out of his pants.
The oldest brother is still wait
ing for customers, and putting
in time dodging bats as they flit
in and out at his door, and cuss
ing the times and the people be
cause he can't meet his bills,
while the two young fellows in
the next block who began two
years ago with a small capital
are busy and are making prepar
ations to put up a brick building
next year.
A NEW RAILROAD
i i■•mi the Columbia Klver up Navarre
t'oulee to Watervllln
In the courthouse news last week It
was stated that the Columbia Railroad
and Lumber Company had filed articles
of incorporation with Auditor Trow, of
Wenatchce, which provided for a paid
up, non-assessable capital of $300,000.
The headquarters and main office will
be located in Chelan. As to the pur
pose and object of the company, the
following, which is taken from the
Douglass County Press, will fully dis
close. Primarily it Is to connect Wat
erville with the Columbia river, and
ultimately, provided the Great North
ern does not bui d up the Columbia riv
er, to build to Wonatchee:
The company has an authorized capi
tal Block of $300,000, divided into 300.
--0(10 shares of the par value of one dol
lar each, fully paid and nonassessable.
Its officers are:
R. D. Johnson, former general man
ager of the Chelan Transportation &.
Smelting Co., president and general
manager.
Bruce A. Grigg.*, of Wenatchee, man
ager Columbia and Okanogan Steam
boat Line, vice president.
S. E. Phillips, secretary.
Barnett Still well, treasurer.
It. H. Steeves auditor.
The object of the corporation, as set
forth in in a neat circular is stated us
follows:
"The. Columbia Raisway and Lumber
Company has been formed for the pur
pose of taking over and consolidating
the Richards Lumber Company (Incor
porated capital stock $30,000) of Chelan,
Washington, our timber lands and pro
jected railways to build and operate
railways from the big pine timber belt
to the Columbia river and through the
Big Bend wheat district to Waterville,
thus forming a wheat and timber com
bination connecting with the Columbia
river and Groat Northern railway."
The company proposes in the first
place to build and equip a railroad from
the Columbia river at a point about 12
miles below Chelan up what is known
as Navarre (or Wolls) coulee, touching
on and to the westward of whiih is the
largest and about the only available
body of timber land in this section not
included in the forest reserve and esti
mated to contain at leait 75,000,0 iK) feet
of saw timber, easily available. When
the fact, easily ascertained, is consid
ered, that the corporation, through its
individual members, has secured pos
session or control of H large part of ll is
great timber belt; the further fact thai,
the Waterville connection is in th ■
midst of a great treeless wheat b..-lt ca
pable of producing from seven to ten
million bushels of wheat and now actu
al v producing several million bushels
per annum; ami that this great tract of
country is to be supplied with lumber,
fencing, fuel, etc.it will not be difficult
to see that the Columbia Railway*
Lumber Company has something tangi
ble and valuable—in fact one of biggest
propositions ever placed before the
public in this section.
The gentlemen naiuetJ as comprising
the official board are alt well known,
shrewd, responsible biSviness men, The
Etlobarda Lumber Company, which
passes in its entirety into the new or
ganization on October Ist, adds nnsth.-r
list of good responsible business-m«n to
those already mentioned —sucli as \V
