SEATTLE. THURSDAY, APRIL Is.
Tar n.rIaoap FRANCHISE.

There IL every probability that the city
council viii paAs q franchise ordinances
today. which. while perhaps not satisfao-
tory to all parties. will approach as near
ly a. possible any agreement that could
b. reached By those giving and those ask
log important rights and privileges. There
are many interests to be taken into con-
sideration. and in the Anal settlement It
r. hardly possible that each and every
patty could secure just exactly what 1t
wanted.
No one dsnies that the railroads must
so down upon the tide fats. II they are
not there. no industries proposing 10 ship
their products viii locate in that part Of
to~n. which Is so available for manufae-
tories. In the granting of the franchise.
however. the city should not give away
too much or allow Itself to be tied up
fo~ generations by agreements that. while
suitable for rhe present. will not De adapt
cd 20 future existing conditions.
The entranee OF railways into large
cities is something which has been vex-
ing engineers aud municipal bodies for
many years, and many OF the troublesome
questions which have come up in places
Ike Chicago. for example. would never
have arisen had proper precautions been
taken when the original right-of-ways
were secured. IL the new franchise is TO
be used as a right-of-way for through
trains as well as for reaching manufac-
turing sites. IL viii be well to see that the
new ordinance In fits limitations protects
the terminal and switching business, for
which the franchise is primarily given.
No good citizen wishes to put anything
In the way OF local development or inter-
fere with any Industrial growth. There Is.
therefore. a willingness always to en-
courage new enterprises with generous
concessions. But In the giving OF the pres
sat franchise II IN only proper that the
council should realize that II is acting. not
only for today. but for the future.

Mrs. M'xoon's Undertaking

A California woman has demon strated
to the world that 1t IL possible for one OF
her sex to manage a ranch successfully.
Three years ago, by the death of her hus-
band. Hosmer p. McKoon, the celebrated
lawyer (whose connection with the
Blythe case made his name familiar to
everyone), Mrs. Fannie M. McKoon was
left in possession Of the Fatima rancho,
piece of property of 10000 acres, fifteen
miles from San Diego, Cal. The fact that
she had never had any previous business
training and that her whole Life since her
school days had been spent entirely in
filing home and social duties, did not
in the least deter her from assuming
control Of the ranch. She has never
given up the management Of 1t, and 1t is
now one of the most successful ranges in
the country, with several hundred acres
Of orchard near the home place, and from
600 to 1000 head Of cattle and horses on
1t all the time.
Just before Mr.. McKoon's death a
heavy mortgage was placed on 1t to
save other property, and Mrs. McKoon
has made the place yield sufficient in
come to keep her splendid establishment,
pay the interest on the mortgage and a
good interest on the original investment,
although she says she can at least double
the income IL some capitalist will take
hold with her.
When asked how she acquired her
knowledge, she said: II had no choice. I
was obliged to do it. Anyone else in my
position would have done the same!"
Mrs Mary Shepard of San Buena ven-
tura, Cal has gained a reputation as a
foriculturist. In the beautiful town
where she resides she owns a ranch of
flowers. There are 1000 acres altogether
blooming, fragrant acres Of many hued
flowers Mrs. Shepard and her employees
carefully tend them for the purpose Of
collecting and then selling their Seeds
The palms, of which she makes spec
ialty, are noted for their great height.
Her heliotrope is also famous for it's size
exquisite color and wonderful fragrance
The business Of collecting the seeds and
then disposing of them at profitable
prices Is no simple matter. Mrs Shep-
ard has to have small army of SER
wants, and yet the hardest part of the
work falls on herself. After years Of
labor, she now has large and remunera-
tive business, and her flower seeds are
sold all over the United States. 1t is
said that the moment she sees flower
garden she can tell at glance whether
the flowers have been grown from her
seeds. Mrs. Shepard in no way looks like

Heroes of the Paris Bazaar Fire

Stories of the heroes Of the charity
bazaar fire occupy much space in the
journals. Cabman Georges, now Paris
celebrity and who was decorated, wears
his ribbon on his box and has now beer
presented with another medal by HE ma
tive pontoise, where he received the hon.
ors usually given to the president or
tour. The mayor and local functionariee
met him at the station, and there was 9
triumphal procession, banquet, q con-
cert, and the deputy Of the department
delivered an grafton.
Piquet, the plumber. who assisted
Georges rescues at the fire, was mar
ried last week in the Church of Notre
Dame at Plaisance, whee his bxide re-
sided. She is dressmaker and nursed
him while he was suffering from injuries
received at the fire. Like Desdemona
she admired his courage and promised
her hand and heart with dot saved by
skillful handiwork. Poquet went to his
wedding with his breast covered with
medals, two of gold-one given by the
government and another by his workmen
lcolleagues-and the other the silver
medal Of the Royal Humane society, and
similar distinctions from French pro-
vincial associations.-Paris Gable.
