SEATTLE SPIRIT IN EVERY HOUSE.

Advocacy Of the support of home manu-
features is not based upon sentiment. 1t
is a business proposition. in which every
citizen is interested. The need Of more
manufaz.toTies is generally recognized, but
they will not be established without some
assurance of local patronage. The advan-
tage OF having industries in our midst
which shall give employment TO labor is
not confined to those who would be direct
ly engaged. The employment of mechanics
is an advantage TO them, but they support
in turn clerks, store keepers. house own
ers, street car lines and every incident of
urban life.
A trihing additional cost, even. for a
homemade article is a good investment;
and although It may pass through many
channels before it reaches the investor of
the little extra price, the profit will surely
come back.
We publish today several interviews with
local manufacturers, who express them
selves conservatively. intelligently and
gratefully. Their views are worth read
ing. and every citizen viii serve his own
interests who takes the trouble to inquire
for homemade articles. OF course, each
must stand upon its own merits to retain
patronage; but. quality being satisfactory,
let ms put a little OF the Seattle spirit into
our everyday life.

Sng Is as clean "A sport as there is, and the
races for the Americas cup, aside from

skill and science.
While the English yachtsmen are de-

otic sentiment and they will. therefore be
Interesting always. The races OF today,
however, from scientific yachting stand
point. are wholly different from those OF
former years. when the trial was between

NO RECEIVERS FOR FARMS.

Judge Hanford. in mortgage foreclos-
ure suit at Spokane on Saturday, which
involved a farm in Whitman county, re-
fused TO grant the application for the ap-
pointment OF receiver for the farm prop
ersy. Whatever strength there may have
been I'm the decision from a legal stand
point. there Is considerable common sense
from a plain, practical business stand
point The plaintiff asked for the re-
ceiver with a view Of getting this years
crop. the pretense being that the crop
could be regarded as profits and that with
a receiver appointed he could rightfuily
turn over these profits 20 the MORTGAGE.
Judge Hanford held that with the present
price Of wheat there would be no profits
after allowing for costs of seed. culti-
waiting. harvesting and paying taxes.
Therefore. as there were no profits II was
useless 10 appoint a receiver to handle
something which did not exist Had re-
ceiver been appointed no doubt good
part OF the proceeds from the sale OF the
crop would have gone 10 the mortgage.
leaving unpaid the expenses which have
been necessary to keep the farm alive or
under cultivation. OF course. the mort
gage can forecIose and in course of time
secure the property. In the absence OF
any allegation OF mismanagement or
proof OF insolvency and as the ap-
plication for a receiver was for the
purpose OF getting the profits IT would
seem that Judge Hanford held rightly
when he decided that as there were no
profits to handle there could be no re-
..nlr -.
