TAxlcAB PROFITS LARGE.

From the Boston Transcript.
 The taxicab companies are to some ex- tent experiments in city passenger trans portation, but in New York at least, they seem to have been very profitable expert. ments. A confidential pamphlet which one of these companies had prepared for investors has been made public, and states that these vehicles are making an annual profit of 113 per cent

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 The part of Christmas that man en- joys is when it's all over.
 The Lord made man only strong enough to carry woman as his shield.
 No girl ever goes to Europe without ex- pecting romance with a prince
 What makes a woman so happy over Christmas is it isn't another birthday.
 The surer men are that woman is only a foy the surer she is to play with them.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Fight For OkanOgan County
Seat Removal.

The county seat removal PROPOSE
ton wakes warm. The eight news
papers of the county have lined up
to represent the sentiment of their
respective communities, viz: River
side Argus, LOOMS Prospector, TWisp
News, Brewster Herald and Chesaw
News for the removal to Riverside;
and the Conconully Record, Okano-
gan Independent and Oroville Ga
zette against. Conconully has the
county seat now and it is quite right
and proper that the Record should
take the anti-Riverside stand. Orc
vile doesn't want to move the coun-
ty seat but does want to divide the
county, in which event Oroville looks
for county seat honors. The town
of Okanogan wants the county seat
changed if it will come to that town,
but, being unable to keep pace with
Riverside in raising the necessary
funds, and seeing everything going
Riversides way, the Independent
says: when the proper time ar
rives, in two or four years from now,
if the conditions are favorable,
Okanogan will be a candidate for
county seat honors. "-Chesaw News.

persons accompanied the shipment.
He gave it his personal attention
from start to finish, having no deal
ings with middlemen, and found a
ready market at good prices. After
his family returned with surplus
of $4,000.
Now, Mr. Wagner is planning for
shipment of 10000 boxes of ap-
Piles to Australia this fall, already
| having contracts for $4,000 boxes.
and from the present outlook he will
be as successful with the large ship
ment as he was last year with the
smaller one.
His achievement is a noteworthy
one. Coming as a pioneer some
years ago into then comparatively
undeveloped country, and improving
land which even now is about TWEEN
, ty miles from a railroad, he has
produced an orchard of 100 acres
and has the rest of one section for
other purposes. He can now take
his crop to Wenatchee by boat,
shipping thence by rail.
The most notable feature of his
fruit industry is the good judgment
and practical, personal effort to find
market on the other side C, the
andtake the utmost advantage of a
market on the other side of the
world Considerable Importance is
also attached to the fact that he ex-
ercises great care in packing his
fruit, so thai it will be in good con-
dition at the end of its long journey
Ignoring shippers associations, mid
dlemen and others whose commits
sions would take away some of his
profits. he looks after everything
himself and reaps the direct benefits.
Not only is Mr.. Wagner doing a
good thing for himself, but he is
spreading the fame of Washington

That Railroad,

Wenatchee exchanges are again
dishing up railroad done. Once more
it is the Immediate construction OF
the Columbia-Okanogan line. There
have been so many false alarms over
the inauguration of work on this pro-
jected railroad that the public looks
with suspicion on any announcement
of prospective building. Only active
construction will convince the people
o. this county that railroad up the
Okanogan is a near possibility

Real Cleanliness.

Seattle's health department has
ordered vendors of meats, fruits, can
dies and all articles of food exposed
/ for display to be covered with
with screens that will exclude flies
Realization that flies are a real
menace to health has bee brought
, to the people through the campaign
Of education which has been main
tanned by the government, and it
ought to be possible to secure en-
| forcement in any community of such
regulations as have been adopted in
Seattle.
A national movement for cleaIli-
ness in general ought to follow the
present manifestation of desire fcr
cleaner methods in civic affairs.
| The nine-fOot sheet requirement
which Oklahom has adopted for pro-
lection of hotel patrons ought to be
adopted by every state.
And then should follow a demand
for cleaner service and rigid inspec-
ton of every eating place.
The patron who sees a waiter
scratch a pimply face with fingers
that handle food should have license
! to brain the offender with a fly
specked Vienna roll or any equally
deadly bludgeon; the lightning dish
washer who sozzles through his task
so rapidly that samples of the pre-
ceding order come out on plate and
knife and fork to the next victim
should be quietly strangled with a
| dish towel.
Cleanliness at best is relative.
! Absolute cleanliness probably is
attained only by the process of ster-
; iliZation used by the surgeon with
his instruments.
The microscope would reveal
J things to chagrin the tidiest house
wife.
| 1t would show the megalosaurian
creatures that breed in the dishpan
and dishwater soaked relics of food
that survives copiOus rinsing.
| The scientist has demonstrated
that there is Judgment for thousands
of disease breeding germs upon a
f1y's foot, and by this infinitesimal
standard must all elaine to real
cleanliness be judged.
We can never more than approx
every feature of the routine of daily
mate it but we can go miles and

No more suspicious opening could
have been asked for than the success
which attended tine resumption Of per-
formances at the Crystal theater, on

were given, one at :, one at s and the
last one at .. At every performance
all the seats in the house were taken
and standing room was at high prem
ium, many Of those h sought ad-
mission being turned away. All yes
terday. afternoon the Crystal was
thronged with aides Who attended the
opening matinee, for which no admis-
sion vas charged. Each lady was pre-
scented with a souvenir. The program
at the performances yesterday was all
that could be asked for by a critical
public. The pictures shown by the
photograph, the latest moving picture
machine made. were all that could
be desired, while the pictures accom-
panying the illustrated songs We're the
best which have ever been seen here.
The songs were sung by George
Bailey, who possesses a fine baritone
voice and the ability to use it to good
advantage. The most pleasing part
of the illustrated pictures is hat the
different Genes fade or dissolve into
each other and there are no blank
waits for the next picture. The spot
light pictures, sung by Miss AleNan-
der, a local soprano, made a big hit.
Altogether the first performances OF
the Crystal under the new manage
ment made a very good impression
and il is very likely that it viii prove
