OF a business depression IN loss or cir
cuiatson. Seattle was not supposed to
have done very much better In 4 financial
sense last year than several other cities,
and Il was a matter OF congratulation that
she ad more than held her own, while SO
many had been unable to keep their heads
above the surging waters Of commercial
depression.
The Seattle postoffice returns for the
year ending September so are IN this re-
spsct especially encouraging. For the
year ending June 30, 1926, the amount or
second-class matter, or newspapers.
mailed at this postoffice was 2SI,sSs pounds.
For the year ending September 50, 1885,
the amount shows an Increase TO 5000.
Thus in a little over a year Seattle has

is seven ahead. She has also jumped
ahead OF such large centers OF population
as Brooklyn, n. Y; Jersey City. ". J.;

The situation in Western Pennsyl-

it is in nearly every mining State and
reveals a condition of affairs that is a
foul disgrace TO the country. Legisla-
lures everywhere should follow Penn
sylvania's lead and investigate and if
possible cut out these cancerous
growths on our civilization. Meanwhile,
we should more strictly enforce our

venting, as far as possible, the admis-

than ever before deserve the name Of

trees and Shrubbery are clad in their
spring verdure. and a number Of i'm

An Electric Linemsn Severely Shocked,
Yesterday Afternoon.

An Electric Linenian severely ShocAeu,
Yesterday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon Claud Dodson,
an employe of the Wheeling Electrical
Company. was severely shocked and
had rather a narrow escape for his life,
while at, work on a pole in front of the
Mcclure House.
DodsOn climbed to the top of the pole
and was about 10 go TO work on some
repairs to the wires, when he came in
contact with a wire from which the
insulation had been worn away, and as
a result he lost consciousness for mo-
ment. and would have probably fallen
to the sidewalk, had he not taken the
precaution to so twist one of his legs
about enc of the arms on the pole that
he was supported without conscious eff
fort on his part.
The serious predicament Of the man
was soon apparent, and a couple of hun
dred people were soon congregated in
the street A lineman. C. II. Abercrom-
bic. courageously went to DOdson's as
siStanCe. and supported him until he
had partially recovered, when he was
assisted down to the ground. In the
meantime the hook and ladder company
was sent for. but by the time they arriv-
ed Dodson was on the sidewalk. and
soon recovered and resumed work.
