A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station A.? One generator
can furnish power to your Pumps, Centri-
fugals, Elevators, Flows, Railways and
Hoists also furnish light and power for
a radius of from Is to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used caves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available, il
costs nothing to generate Electric Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY Ia

and Generators of all descriptions at

\ circular from Theodore l.. Schumacher,
president of the Northwestern Immigrd-
ton congress, recently held at ST. Paul,
announces that state conventions have al
ready been called, or soon will be, for
Montana, South Dakota and North Da-
kota, while Minnesota has already effected
a state organization. In Washington the
report of the delegation, signed by 1. A.
Nadeau, and others, is in the hands of
Gov. McGraw. The general association re-
quests that delegates take a personal in
terest in making the various state organ
izations effective. The circular concludes:
The time is now ripe for a united for

proper share in the sra OF better times. of

Jams plans and specifications, which have
been lying idle since 1880, will now be
brought into requisition. They have al
ready been printed in very complete form,
and with very few notifications they
will be used just as they are. Two of the
most important of these notifications are
that the new plans will call for two reser-
voirs instead of one. and will put pipe
lines where the Williams plans have
fumes. II is possible that a little field
surveying may be necessary to complete
the revision of these plans. An order di-
recting the city engineer 10 prepare the
plans and specifications has been pending
before the city council for some time. and
will probably be called up at the meeting
tomorrow night.

THE DEMAND FOR LOGS.
Government Scaler McTaggart says lt
l. Ahead OF the supply.

r. McTaggart. of Anacortes, govern
ment log scaler for the counties OF Skaglt.
Snohomish. Island and Whatcom, vas at
the Dnler yesterday and said that the log
ginE outlook was very encouraging. '1he
streams have been gradually rising for the
past seven weeks" said he, and all firSt-
class logs sell rs soon as they come down.
They have recently come down pretty live
" on the Skagit and Snohomish. but more
particularly on the Stillaguamsh.
ION the Skagit the way the boom has
been handled has been discouraging 10 the
logging business and not many fir logs had
come down this fall But there has been
a great deal done breaking up the jams
and running the old stock down. The
mills a Port Gamble. Hadlock and Blake
ley are all running on full time and over
time and a very large business is being
done"
w G. Douglass, of Stanwood, talking at
the Diller last night of the run OF logs in
the Skagit river, said: There was the
biggest jam in front of Stanwood on Tues
day that has been known in the Skagit
for five years. and loggers claim 100000
feet of logs came aown. The jam formed
in Skagt bay, and when the tide went out
the logs were held by the bar near Davis
slough. The jam flied the river SO solidly
for three hours that il could be safely
crossed, and was about mile long. y lot
of old stock was run down, some logs hav-
ing the appearance of being ten or fifteen
years Old. The river was well cleared up.
But the jam we had five years ago lasted
for three weeks, and during that period
boats could not get near Stanwood at all.
There were 100000 feet in that jam"

Great Storm Lasting Twenty-Four
Hours-snow In the MOuntatns.

The storm which ended at $3.50 o'clock
Monday afternoon was one Of the Sc
verest ever experienced in this city. II
began at about the same hour Sunday,
and during the twenty-four hours there
was a precipitation of two inches. This
storm came on nearly the anniversary OF
the heavy rain of last year, which began
on December and lasted until December
- the most severe part being on the sth,
when the wind reached a velocity of thir-
ty-six miles an hour. II rained then every
day for week. but the total fall was not
so great as that of yesterday and the day
before.
Speaking of this storm Observer G.. n.
Salisbury said:
Although the wires are down to the
Western Washington coast this morning,
il is probably raining throughout the
whole of the western section, the same as
here. What we call an excessive rainfall
is one inch in an hour. or two and one
half inches in twenty-four hours, and
there has been no such record in Seattle.
On May 90 1898, there was a fall of los
inches. on November 4 and ;, 1898, the
fall was l.54 inches. From December 20 to
Il the same year % inches fell, and on
the 18th of the same month the fall was
1.3S inches. The greatest fall was 2.19
inches on January L and 10, 1894.
While the rain fell in the valleys and
lowlands. heavy snow fell in the mount
aims and travellers returning from the
headwaters of the Snoqualmie and Cedar
rivers say there is four feet of snow there.

injure DR.. Jordan. a weekly paper has gone
too far Irefer to an article in its last issue
coupling my name and that of my son N
a false statement concerning Jordans cir
cular on the water question. That the
doctor has for years advocated in and out
of the council the ownership by the people

by every reader of the Post-Intellgencer.
That the doctor is able to produce such
an article as the Seattle Idea" there IS
no doubt; even his worst enemies VIII ad-
NIT that. l certainly have no desire TO
parade in plumase not my own. and at the
expense of an innocent party, who has new
er wronged me.
So l feel called upon to state in this pub
lie manner that the article in question, in
so far as il referred to me. and 10 my sons
supposed statements, are absolutely false
in every particularly. For myself. | have

To AMEND THE CHARTER.

Many suggestions Will be offered by the
people to the new charter commissioners
when they begin their labor of recon-
structing the city charter. Many provis-
ions are Objectionable. and some entirely
new features will be offered for considera-
ton by the commission. The Single Tax
ers, for instance. will endeavor to secure
a change in the provision relative to lands
sold for delinquent taxes and bid in by the
city, so that the land may not remain un-
productive. but be utilized for the benefit
of all the people. The liquor dealers will
endeavor to secure provision looking to
a reduction of their license and other mat
tiers in their interest. The Western Cen
trail Labor Union, the Peoples party. the
independent Republicans, and the Social
lists. who have been organized through the
efforts OF Laurence Gronund. are expect
ed 10 appoint committees TO formulate
changes and place them before the COM
mission. II is understood that proportion
al representation will be strongly sug-
gested.
In the matter of appointing a committee
the Single Takers are in the lead, their
representatives having already been
named. The committee consists of r. d.
