PLEASED WITH
A. Y.P. OUTLOOK
REPRESENTATIVE OF BIG SHOW
IN CITY TO-DAY TO GET IN
TOUCH WITH WHAT HAS BEEN
DONE BY LOCAL COMMISSION.
w. B. Price, superintendent

w. B. Price, superintendent OF
county exhibits for the A.-Y.-P ex-
position is in the city today. The
object of his visit here is to see what
progress the county is making tow
ards getting in shape for the big fair.
Mr.. Price is much pleased with the
outlook here and in all of the other
counties of the state with the excep-
ton of Garfield and Franklin coun-
ties. Neither of these has made any
appropriation for exhibit work.
Mr.. Price states thats the big fair
will open on time and that the coun-
ty exhibits will be ready by this time.
Under the law passed by the legis-
lature two years ago the county COM
missioners were permitted to make
an appropriation of one-half mill on
the assessed valuation of the coun-
ty, according to the figures Of 1906.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture bill was passed authorizing
the commissioners to levy an appro-
priation on the basis of one-half a
mill on the assessed valuation OF
1908.
An effort will be made at the April
session of the county commissioners
to have an appropriation from the
county equal to the one-half mill
levy. This will make it possible to
make a fine exhibit at Seattle. Yaki-
ma county has had appropriated by
the county $1s,Se3.25, and is goine
to attempt to be the whole thing at
the Seattle fair.
Mr.. Price was formerly county
treasurer of Kittitas county and is
very much pleased with the progress
made by Secretary Gellatly in getting
together an exhibit here.

WILL NOW STIR
UP GERMANY
MRS. Gait PLANS SUFFRAGETTE
CAMPAIGN LIKE THAT In ENG
LAND-ISSUES CALL FOR DEL
EGATES FROM ALL PARTS.

Berlin, March 20.-Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the Inter
national Woman's Suffrage Alliance,
who il now touring Austro-Hungary,
Is coming to Berlin on March 80 to
hold a meeting, which, she hopes
will rouse the fair sex of the Father
land to join their militant sisters OF
England and America in a vigorous
demand for the ballot.
The German suffragists, who are
organized, but very ladylike in their
propaganda, are preparing to give
Mrs. Gait a cordial reception. They
have engaged one of the biggest halls
in Berlin for her meeting, and dele
gates from all parts of the country
are coming to town to imbibe inspira-
ton from the vigorous American
agitator.
Mrs. Gait Is we'll known in Ber-
lin through her activity at the Inter.
national Woman's Congress held here
in 1904. The International Suffrage
Alliance was formed on that occa.
sion through the initiative Of the late
Susan B. Anthony, who was als1
here, and Mrs. Gait was made the
first president.
The suffrage movement is particu-
larly backward in Germany, owing to
restrictive laws which have long de-
barred women from participating in
political activity of any sort. Votes
for women have hitherto been sup
ported only by the social democratic
party; which makes equal suffrage
for both sexes one of its regular plat
form planks. The leading Teuton
suffragist is DR.. Anita Augsburg, a
woman OF great culture and oratori-
cal skill. She is a lawyer, writer, and
an accomplished stump speaker, and
has been in jail once or twice as the
consequence of clashes with the po-
lice in political campaigns. She is
the logical candidate for commander
in-chief of the German suffragist
forces, il they respond to Mrs. Cats
call and decide to assume the of

capital for development to be appre-
ciated, we recommend close attention
and jealous exploitation of these valu-
able assets. Knowing that a great
percentage Of the people have but to
gain sufficient wealth in order to be-
gin the search for pleasure and rec
reation, and being aware of our un-
excelled opportunities for such enjoy
ment, we emphatically recommend
that speedy steps be taken to make
these resorts accessible and pleasur-
able. The youth of this territory
who will soon be called upon to take
charge of this and other great prob
lens should not be overlooked. In
our zeal in commercial affairs let us
see to it that proper and careful
thought be given this most important
factor necessary to the greatness Of
our citizenship.

This rumor Las died down only to be
renewed again after q considerable
interval, and now It comes with added
force, and the latest phase OF It IS
that Mr.. Hill will merge the Burling-

a part and parcel Of the upbuilding
Of the Burlington system this latest
rumor seems absurd, and they are not
that manv are inclined to believe that
inclined to give it any credence at all.
But the report persists SO strongly
some change is pending. The an
nouncement that John F. Stevens,
formerly general manager of the
Great Northern, later chief engineer
in constructing the Panama canal, and
subsequently and until lately connect
ed with the New York, New Haven
and Hartford road, is again to enter
the employ of James j. Hill as the
head of the combined systems Of rail-
roads, has given color to the rumor.
The plan, as the statement goes, is
to make the Hill system one Of the

every portion thereof and eastern al

tinental railroads. But as for chang
ing of the name and the abandon
ment of the trade mark Burlington,
no one believes that Mr.. Hill is so
lacking in business instinct as to
throw away SO valuable an asset to
railroad system. No road in the
world is better known through lie
name than the Burlington. and like
the good will of a newspaper that
name is worth a fortune to the own
ers Of stock. Besides this 1t would
cost fortune simply to re.etter the
equipment and produce new station
cry, not to speak Of the untold cost OF
filing new sets of reorganization pa
pers in every county through which
the various lines of the great system
run. Men who are at all posted In
the roads affairs scoff at the idea
that the Burlington system is to dis.
appear from the map.
