DAWSON STUDYING UP
WATER AND LIGHT COMMlSSl ON.
Err GETTING FAMILIAR WITH
ORDINANCES, ETC.

Commissioner Dawson of the water
and light department has been pat
ting in what little spare time he has
had since Monday in studying up on
city ordinances, aud incidentally
asking more questions.
He secured copy of the city
ordinances as published in book form
and yesterday hied himself off to
study IL. The book is Just six years
old the ordinances passed by the
old council during these years never
having been codificd, but. the com.
missioner was able to find what he
was looking for, however One of
the ordinances which seemed to in
terCst him most was that of the
light companies and much careful
study was given the franchises of all
the public utilities companies.
Nr Dawson was asked if he had
any plans for the conduct of his
department as regarded more lights.
He said he had thought some along
tAis line and wanted to see the city
better lighted than II was al the
present time, but from all figures
available at this time, did not see
how II could be done with out great
additional expense 10 the city, which
vas Just now unable to bear more
,han was being placed upon it,

Strong Opponent of the Cumberland Shows Big
Losses BY Independents.

AS we intend from time to time TO
inform the public of those happenings
in the telephone business which are
of geneal interest, we are publishing
below part of an editorial from the Lex
ington (Ky.) Herald by Desht Brecken-
ridge, a journalist of high standing
in his community, as well as man Of
considerable attainments and of wide
acquaintance in his profession. The
editorial is particularly interesting
because Mr.. Breckenridge was and
apparently is now interested in the
promotion of telephone exchanges and
systems in opposition TO our company
and because he virtually admits that
at the outset he and those Interested
with him could not be convinced by
any information which they could OBJ
tain that our rates, which they were
denouncing as unfair ana eXorDltanr
are now found not to be so; and, fur
ther that the rates made by the III
dependent companies are now found
to be too low and must be increased
if the losses already suffered are to
be stopped.

GIRLS WILL VISIT THE EXPOSITION.

The Ranch publishers have made arrangements
for the entertainment of it's girl friends at the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacifc Exposition. We propose to
provide our girls with round-trip tickets from their
nearest railroad station, bring them to Seattle,
pay their expenses at one of Seattle's leading ho-
tells and admission to the Fair daily. In addition
to this there will be side trips to Tacoma and to
Bremerton, where the United States Navy Yards
are located. These trips will be taken by steam
ship and each will require one day. Tacoma is
one of the greatest shipping centers on the Pa
cifc Coast and located as it is, several hundred
feet above the Sound, it is a picturesque and beau
tiful city. At the Navy Yards there will be oppor-
tunity afforded to see one of the largest dry docks
in America and a larger one in course of building.
Also visitors may go on board and inspect steel
clad battleships, armored cruisers and small gun
boats. The trip requires a week, during which
time the girls are guests of The Ranch, and we
pay all expenses.
Any young lady who desires to visit this great
Worlds Fair, and without cost or obligation to
anyone, can get full particulars of the plan by
writing to the Circulation Manager of The Ranch,
Fourteenth and Main, Seattle, Wash.

KEEP THE RANCH ON FILE.

The editor of The Ranch often receives letters
from subscribers asking about some advertise
ment or news item which has been published in a
back number of the paper. We are glad to be OF
service to our readers and always endeavor to
give the information asked for. But We want to
urge our readers to preserve all copies of The
Ranch. Put away, for future reference, each num-
Der when the family has read it. Every sub
scriber to The Ranch should keep a complete
file, for it contains much of lasting value as a
book of reference.
What is of no particular interest to you today
may be of the utmost Importance tomorrow or
next month. You may not have egg-eating hens
in your flock, your COWS do not give bloody milk,
but you may find yourself facing this misfortune
any day. These and scores of other troubles
have been and are being treated on in the col
umns of The Ranch, and it is of utmost impor-
lance that the paper be carefully preserved, that
this valuable information be not destroyed.
Farm journals should not be COMPOUNDED with
the daily newspaper, which is read principally
for it's current news and then put into the waste
basket. The daily is hastily thrown together
without any thought of permanency, while the
farm journal being published once or twice a
month fills it's pages with information thoroughly
weighed and digested, often the result of months
or years of careful experiment and gathering of
thoroughly reliable data. Every number of The
Ranch is carefully edited by men of authority
and should, therefore, be highly valued and kept
for reference.

SOUTH AFRICAN COMMONWEALTH.

1t is but a few years since South Africa was en-
broiled in the throes of an intercolonial warfare.
1t was during this period that the death of that
remarkable man, Cecil Rhodes, occurred. With
the same clear vision that distinguishes James j.
Hill, he projected the long line of the Cape to
Cairo railroad, now nearing completion. He also
outlined the progress and pre5eminence awaiting
the scattered colonies of South Africa, when ANAL
gamated and actuated by a common sentiment
and a united impulse.
The vision seems about to be realized, for the
parliaments of Cape Colony, the Transvaal, Natal
and the Orange River Colony are taking favorable
action on the constitution recently formulated by
a special body of representatives. Next June the
union convention again will meet to put the finish
ing touches to the plan of government.
Indications are that the new government will
be strongly centralized. 1t will follow the Cana
dian rather than the American or Australian plan,
in reserving all powers not specially delegated
to the provinces. Practically all the interest and
affairs of the provinces are placed in the hands of
a central parliament, the purely local and admins
trative business of each province only being in
the hands of a provincial council, which also is
subject finally to the authority of the central par
lament.
The principle of equality in the upper house is
applied in the constitution, but not completely.
Each of the four provinces chooses eight senators
through the vote of its provincial council and it's
members of the lower house, and to these are add
ed eight senators nominated by the governor-gener-
al-in-council. The members of the house of as
sembly are chosen by the provinces substantially
according to the adult male European population.
This movement means another advance in the
progress of representative government as devel-
oped among the English speaking peoples of the
world. First came the organization of the United
States; then that Of the Dominion of Canada, fol-
lowed by the Commonwealth of Australia, and
now by that of South Africa, while that of India
is demanding a form of local self-government.
While it is primarily a progress of political gov
eminent, it is underlaid by a tremendous prog
gress of industrial development that insures a
sure and stable demand for the products of agri-
culture. In all these countries agriculture is the
basis of national welfare. On it depends the
supplies and markets for the products of all other
industries. All hail then to the South African
Commonwealth.
