Among the announcements for office
this week we call attention to A. G..
Bowie, of Chelan Falls, who submits
his name to the republican voters for
superintendent of public schools. Mr..
Bowie was born in Iowa in 1876. He
graduated from the high school at West
Liberty in 1894. After teaching two
years in the public schools he attended
the Iowa State Normal at Cedar Falls,
also the Northern Indiana Normal at
Valparaiso. In addition to his school
work he completed course in law at
the Iowa State University, graduating
in 1900. In 1902 he came to the
state of Washington, where he has
been actively engaged ever since in
teaching. The last four years he has
taught at Chelan Falls, Wash. Mr..
Bowie says he will be in Leavenworth
soon and hopes to get acquainted with
many of the voters.

STATE NEWS ITEMS

Within the past few days the Great
Northern has secured a lease for 99o
years on the Northern Pacific right OF
way along the water front of Everett,
and hence is without competitor
there. Opinions are not uniform as to
whether it means merely the with
drawing of the Northern Pacific from
active participation in the water front
traffic at Everett or whether it means
that the Great Northern is preparing to
dictate terms to any new railroad that
may want to enter Everett, and the
railroad officials are not committing
themselves on the subject. -Edmonds

The experiment is the undertaking
of the Societe Philanthropique, and
was made possible by the bequest of
Mile. Marie Souvestre, after whom the
building is named.
The building contains forty-eight
workshops and apartments, and the
price per year for "trade combina-
tions' ranges from 500 to $148. In
the basement are baths and on the sew
enth floor arrangements for washing
and drying the family linen. Electric
power is supplied at a minimum cost
from central plant. Any workman
using the lighter form of machinery
can install it himself in the building.
In fact, twelve families have already
done so, finding the new, clean work
rooms a most agreeable and healthfui
substitute for their former dark and
Ill ventilated shops.
