Spokane Spokesman-Review.
Seattle is about TO make the mistake or
plunging more deeply into debt. 1t is pro-
posed TO bring water from Cedar river.
twenty Eight miles distant, and the esi-
mated cost OF the undertaking Is N,2o0OCo.
The real cost viii probably be found
closer to million and half. Since the
city has already pressed UP against the
bond limit, 1t is in contemplation TO pay
for this construction by emitting warrants
20 the extent of the cost OF the works.
Obviously this action could only be jus
tilted by most pressing necessity. 1t
does not exist Seattle has a splendid
water supply. Lake Washington lies just
back Of the city. and the supply IS pumped
from il. II Is a beautiful body OF mount
ain water-hfteen miles long, several
miles wide, and OF great depth and purity.
The city slopes from the lake, and sends
its drainage into Puget sound. and the
watershed Of the lake is forest-clad will
derness.
BY avoiding the contraction OF addi-
ticnai Indebtedness, the city should be
able to give its people cheap water in
abundance. The plan contemplated would
entail an annual interest charge OF not
less than $4,000 and prevent reductions OF
water rates for many years TO come. II
looks like job. 1t certainly is folly.

result, the dairy products fer local use
were largely imported. a home industry
Law dormant and a vast amount Of money
was sent abroad.
Since 1891 the dairying interest has he
come one Of the most important n the
state. In that year we produced only
per cent. OF the amount cons0med Bach
