CasJimere Wants Municipal Power Plant
The citizens of our neighboring town
are planning to have a municipally
owned power plant to furnish the light,
heat and power for the town and sur
rounding country. Why could Dot
Cashmere, Dryden, Peshastin tnd
Leavenworth combine on a movement
covering the entire valley from Cash
mere to Leavenworth, a distance of
ten miles? There is enough power in
the Icicle river to supply and fur
nish all the light and power needed by
the towns and the people on ranches
between Leavenworth and Cashmete.
The coit of such a plant would be
little more than the cost of a plant to
supply Cashmere alone, besides cover
ing the entire valley. It would at otic
stroke raise the price of land because
of the desirability of residence in a dis
trict where the convenience of electric
light and power could be had OB e*ery
ranch home at a very low cost.
There is an excellent power site on
the Icicle river at, or near the entrWice
to the canyon, with a possibility of
developing four or five thousand H. P.
The dim would not necessarily have
to be very high and the canyon is nar
row making the dam cost exceedingly
modest. The Icicle is nothing bnt
a series of rapids and often descends
ten feet in a hundred. There is
enough power in the Icicle riv"e* to
supply all the people of the valley with
light, and some to spare for power and
hett. The horse power cost of a four
thousand H. P. plant would be materi
ally less than the H. P. cost of a five
hundred or one thousand H. P. plant,
and would have many more tiroes the
earning power. We are quite sure the
people of Leavenworth, Peshastin and
Dryden would co-operate with Cash
mere in an enterprise such as they
have under consideration.
Revival of Thirty Mile Tunnel Scheme
Some years ago Gen. Hetiry M.
Chittenden, a high np authority on
civil engineering, worked out a scheme
to build a double track tunnel Under
the Cascades on the line of the Great
Northern. Because the freight tonnage
at that time would not stand for the
cost, which Was estimated at fifty mil
lion dollars, the project was never
seriously considered by the railroads.
Now, however, since the freight ton
nage has increased enormously, and it
is believed the saving in operation
would aproxirflately pay interest on the
cost, with a possible margin, the
scheme has been revived. The
Seattle Post-Intelligencer of yesterday
in connection with a four column art
icle printed on the first page a map
showing the routel and the portals of
the great bore. Skykomish is to be
the western portal and Leavenworth the
eastern portal. The tunnel may not
be built this year or next year but it is
sure to be undertaken within the next
ten years. Seattle will be compelled
in self defense to give the project its
substantial support. The building of
the new Canadian road to Prince
Rupert, not to mention the inprove
rnent of the Vancouver harbor and
terminals, is looked upon as a menace
to the Puget Sound ports by those who
have made a study of Pacific coast
shipping.
Why the Republican Party Wet Defeat
Among republican newspapers this
all-engrossing subject is given undue
prominence. When all has been said
that can be said on this seemingly
fascinating subject, we submit as the
concluding and final reason (or Mr.
Hughes' defeat the fact that he failed
to receive enough votes.
Is Railroad Me Coining?
Railroad managers refuse to comply
with the Adarosou law pending a de
cision of the legality of the bill by the
courts. The representatives of the rail
road mm say if the eight hour law is
not complied with on the first day of
January the strike will be called.
A move is on foot, promoted by
democratic politicians of this state, to
boost Geo. Turner, the defeated dem
ocratic candidate for U. S. senator for
a cabinet position in the event changes
are made by the president in his offi
cial family.
Violence Versus Law and Order.
Two steamerloads of the I. W. W.
agitators went to Everett, Washington,
to assist the striking shingle weavers
break ddwn open shop sentiment and
in resisting their landing the sheriff
was shot, six killed and many wouded.
When there ii a contest in the
United States between violence on the
one side rod law and order on the other,
the latter always prevails. Blood may
be shed in the struggle, but the out
come is law and order.
As a people we believe in the rule
of law, we believe in a government of
law to which all men, high and low,
rich and poor, are alike subject, so that
when there is a challenge, such as that
at Everett, it is promptly met by citizens.
The I. W. W., if one may judge by
utterances and acts of members, be
lieve violence is necessary to gain ends
sought. They have asserted the need
of violence as a reform agency. They
have intense grudges against what they
Call the employer class.
They differ from most of the socialists.
The dominant element of socialists
favors political action in contrast with
direct action. The dominant element
believes in bringing about changes in
government thru the ballot and official
action. The I. W. W. believes in
stirring things up by a challenge of
orderly processes. That is called "direct
action," while political action is re
garded as indirect.
The government of the United States
is one of political action. It may be
changed by a vote of the people. When
an effort is made to change it in any
other way, Americans, with few ex
ceptions, rally for law and order and
oSer their lives for that principle.
It is difficult to imagine anything of
value that can be gained by the course
of the I. W. W. No city, no community,
will permit the overriding of law by
violent procedure. —Seattle P.-I.

Miss Sylvia Hilderbrand and Mr. W.
Hoffman left Tuesday for Seattle where
they expect to be married. The young
people will spend several days on the
coast after which they will go to their
home in Montana.
A number of deer hunters were out
on the last day of the season but not
much game was brought back.
Mrs. J. I. Froome, mother of Mrs.
J. B. Duncan arrived from Los Moline
Cat., Thursday morning and will visit
here for several weeks.
Good weather still continues, and
no snow. We will want to remem
ber each one of these days about three
weeks from now.
Orchard men are still in trouble since
the freezing weather has come. Apples
are being housed in every available
place in the valley until cars cm be
obtained to handle them.
Charley Roach was a Seattle bound
traveler last Wednesday and left with
the purpose of spending the winter on
the weft side of the mountains.

A Voice from the Tomb
The following from the pen of Col.
Robertson, editor of the Yakima Daily
Republic, the standest pat of the
standpatters, is refreshing. ' We are
tempted to inqnire:"Can such things
be, and overcome us like a summer
cloud, and not escape our special
wonder?"
"The Republic is not in the habit
of jumping on men when they are
down, but as the late republican can
didate and those who are responsible
for him will never know it has mal
treated them, it is inclined on this
bright and happy day, when all nature
is smiling, every prospect is pleasing
and man alone is vile, to express an
unbiased opinion or two.
"This paper never was very strong
for Hughes. Months ago it expressed
the opinion that he could not leave the
supreme bench and become a candi
date for political office without violating
the proprieties. It believed that he
had made a good record as governor
of New York; that he was courageous
and honest; it had an Idea that he was
a man of much ability, and that if
elected he would probably make a
strong and capable administrator. At
the same time it felt that the country
needed the republican party in power
more than it needed Hughes. It
never did believe that Hughes would
make a strong candiate. He was not
the sort of citizen who could make him
self heard above the din of a pres
idential election, and not the type of
man who could pull the stunt that was
organized for him by the republican
and progressive leaders.
"There was Just one man in the
country who possessed the qualifications
the republican standard bearer needed
last June, and that man was Theodore
Roosevelt. As is well known, the Re
public does not like Roosevelt. Still,
no republican gentleman in this state
who went to the polls last Tuesday
and voted for Miles Poindexter need
lift his voice on the score of its consist
ency. The Republic, as we have said,
thought in June, regardless of what it
thought of Roosevelt, that republican
success on the 7th of this month was a
paramount consideration.
"Roosevelt is the one and only man
in the United States who could have
been elected by the republican party.
He is the one man whose voice car
ries from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the lakes to Texas. He is the only
man in America who can ride two un
manageable horses going at full speed
in opposite direction at one and the
same time, a task for which Hughes is
about as well fitted as a child in arms.
He is the one man in public life
whose personality dominates and over
rides opposition and prejudice. He
is the one man who could have aroused
the nation to such a pitch of patriotic
fervor that it would have understood the
pusillanimity of the administration that
pretended to have kept us out of war.
"Hughes was nominated by the bone
headed reactionary politicians of the re
publican party—the men who don't
know and never can learn. He was
nominated primarily that they might
gain personal revenge on Roosevelt.
He was nominated in the dark. He
was taken from the cloister. Nobody
knew where he stood, nor what he
would say. nor how he would handle
himself, and notwithstanding that the
very qualities which made him great as
a judge seemed to guarantee his in
capacity for leadership at a time and
in a campaign when leadership was the
essential to success.
From the moment that he stepped
out to the front it became apparent
that his task was too great for him. He
hesitated and compromised and evaded
and pussyfooted and scattered. He
made no appeal anywhere that reached
the people and impressed them. At
the end of his campaign the country
felt about him as did one of its ablest
independent editors, a man who wanted
to support him all along but could not.
There were, this man thought, a hun
dred reasons for voting against Wilson,
but hardly any for voting for Hughes.
"The campaign ends in defeat not
withstanding that victory appeared a
certainty in the spring. Perhaps it is
as well. Providence moves in myster
ious ways to perform its wonders some
times, and maybe in the re-election of
Wilson the Lord has something up his
sleeve which mortals cannot discern.
"If there are any who are inclined
to kick and who want to place respon
sibility for the unhappy result, how
ever, they need not refrain on account
of ignorance. The candidate was a
failure. Back of the candidate there
was a national convention of bourbon
politicians, and back of that were 48
state conventions, most of which were
not representative. Back of them was
a republican electorate which failed to
do its duty at the primaries."
Judge Grimshaw to the Voters
Wenatchee, Wash., Nov. 14
To the Voters ot Chelan County:
Since it is manifestly impossible to
reach each individual voter with per
sonal communication I desire to convey
thru the county press, to each voter my
sincere appreciation of the support
given in both the Primary and General
Election and to express the hope that
the administration of the judicial office
during the ensuing term of four years
may prove such as to justify the con
fidence shown. Sincerely,
Win. A. Grimshaw

More Men Than Women Have
Appendicitis
Surgeons state men are slightly more
subject to appendicitis than women.
Leavenworth people should know that
a few doses of simple buckthorn bark,
glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka,
often relieve or prevent appendicitis.
This mixture removes such surprising
foul matter that ONE SPOONFUL re
lieves almost ANY CASE constipation,
sour stomach or gas. The INSTANT,
easy action of Adler-i-ka is surprising.
