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

ings.

Mr. Darling- intends to put in a lar

ted out entirely with the stock and fix

ally block. Comparatively few changes
will be made in the newly purchased
store.

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.
$1 00 Per Year
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 of Foster 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.
