The Piemaker is not doing the sena-
aspirant from King county because he
believes that it is altogether too early
to trot out any particular individual,
but, as has already been pointed out
in these columns, King county should
make haste slowly in it's next attempt
to land the senatorial plum. Thas is
to say, she should make no selection
for a candidate until she has thor
oughly canvassed the situation and
found out what candidate, if any. she
has can bring to her the greatest
amount of outside assistance, and
when such candidate has been found
then and not until then, make him
King county's candidate. Going to the
legislature with twenty-five votes and
demanding in the name of King coun-
ty, the most powerful county in the
state, is political rot pure and simple,
and will get King county nothing un-
less she has some outside allies. AS
yet no one has announced his inten-
ton of aspiring for the honor, hence
discussing the availability of this or
that man is a waste of words. Upper
most of all, so far as King county is
concerned, should be, who are your
candidates; secondly, what outside
strength have they, and, lastly, which
of them has the most. With these
points properly gone into it will be an
easy matter to decide which aspirant,
if any, is the one for King county
to tie to. en
Speaking about the senatorial stu
alton from King county standpoint,
the following communication from a
well known Eastern Washington poll
tician has been received at this office,
and space in the Poot Pie is freely
given because the Pie-maker truly be-
lieves it is good advice, and advice
that King county folk would do well
to give ample consideration and then
act accordingly. Hear it,

the appointment of a federal office
holder out of the hands of the poll
ticians and made it to suit himself,
then the Pie-maker will willingly help
the opponents of John l.. Wilson de-
feat any political aspirations he may
have and desire to accomplish.

cultural college, died suddenly OF pneu-
monia last Saturday morning at 5
o'clock The remains were taken the
same evening to his home al Alpena,
this state, for burial, in charge of a

pany B. The detail was in personal
command of Major Johnson The
body of the deceased was conveyed to

ulty. On Monday the college closed
for half a day and special exercises
were held in the chapel The deceased
was bright young man, well thought
of by his classmates and enjoyed the
respect and good will of the faculty.
His sudden demise is the source Of
much regret and sadness on the part
of all. His mother, Mrs. X COX, and a
brother were present with him when
he died and accompanied the remains
home to Alpena where the funeral
occurred on Sunday.

CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM.
This is What Brookings is Interested
in and Must Have.

At the present time the question OF
fuel and lights is the all absorbing
topic everywhere. Almost every ham,
let has caught the fever and is taking
steps to centralize both these expen.
sive and important factors. The high
price of fuel during the past winter is
largely responsible for this agitation
and the wisdom of Capitalization is
apparent to anyone who has made any
study of the question. Business prin-
ciples teach us that forty per cent is
too great a waste to be allowed to con-
tinue any great length Of time and
this is what every coal or wood con-
sumer has to loose in individual heat
ing, as at least forty per cent of the
heat units go up the chimney Of every
stove or furnace. To prove this, one
need only place Their hand on the
stove pipe.
The question of heating private res
idences is as yet puzzler and so far
no one has been able to solve the prob
lem, but the formation Of plans to
heat the business portion Of cities and
towns from a central plant has been
demonstrated to the entire satisfac-
tion Of those who have taken pains to
look into the matter.
Brookings is particularly fortunate
in having control Of it's electric light
ing and water-works systems. Now
all that is necessary to complete the
work is to secure day run for the
electrical machinery and to utilize the
exhaust steam for heating purposes.
Both can be brought about If the bus
iness men and city officials use the
same careful methods that any pru-
dent business man would employ in
his private affairs. The REGISTER
finds that almost without exception
the business men Of the city are ready
to take advantage Of the proposed cen
tral heat as soon as it can be installed.
The council and city school board are
as one man in favor Of Capitalization
and IL looks as though the matter will
be pushed TO completion this season.
There is, however, tendency to put
off, delay, and this is really the only
thing that must be avoided. If the
work is done 1t must be commenced
early this spring in order to have the
system completed before fall.
Don't let up for one moment. Keep
the officials interested in the matter
and encourage them. Do not offer OBJ
lection, but familiariZe yourself with
the question and then we have no fear
of your disapproval, because there is
only one side to the question and that
is in favor of central heat plants.

The eight annual legislative session

no one was able to determine with

will be used for building barn for

a son Of the secretary Of agriculture.

SHALL WE RUN THE RISK -?
The Public School Heating System
is Unsafe.

Last fall in ample time to have
done the work before winter set in,
attention was called to the advisable
ity Of heating the public school build.
ing from the electric lighting station.
The school board and city council
went so far as TO appoint committee
to investigate the proposition and
there the matter has rested. Moth
ing was said at the time which might
alarm the patrons of the school and as
the board proceeded toward making
a change there seemed to be no neces-
sity OF saying more. 1t seems, how
ever, that some people need to have a
house tumble on them before they will
start to move.
1t leaked out this week that on
several occasions there has been
imminent danger Of an explosion
of the boilers during the past
two winters. Investigation of the
rumors convinced us that there is
cause for great alarm as there is no
telling what condition the boilers are
in and it appears to us that it is
high time i nm ed late action be
taken and that there is great hazard
in allowing the boilers under the
school building to be used at all. The
boilers may last for years and they
may go skyward any moment. This
being the fact, is it prudent or wise to
delay? The lives Of the children are
Of far more Importance than the
expenditure of money to rectlfy a
wrong. Now that the possible danger
of an explosion is known patrons of
the school are becoming alarmed and
some have taken their children out Of
school believing it unsafe for them to
go. 1t would be better to close the
school until the change is made than
to have the building destroyed and
the children killed by an explosion.
The REGISTER does rot blame any
one for what has passed, but should a
catastrophe occur someone will be
held responsible and we do lot believe
the school board will care TO have the
blame rest on them in the event Of
disaster.
