DICKSON SUED
FOR. $4,000

William F. Ryder, secretary of
the Ryder-Gougar company, has
filed suit for $4,000 against
William H. Dickson, county COM
missioner, for alleged loss of trust,
confidence and respect of Ryder
friends and neighbors owing to a
libelous statement said to have
been made by the defendant to a
newspaper reported.
Ryder says in the complaint
that the county commissioner &C
cused him of dishonest, dishon-
orable and disreputable actions
in regard to a real estate deal.
This suit is the outcome of a
former suit of $4,000 in commits
sions brought by the real estate
firm against Dickson, for a deal
which was never contaminated.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
COLFAX, Wash, Jan. 25.-Dr.
and Mrs. Campbell of La Crosse,
Wash, had a narrow escape from
drowning late Saturday while
crossing the bridge over Willow
creek. Willow creek has been
very high for several days and the
bridge was in a weakened condi-
ton. The buggy apparently had
crossed the bridge in safety when
a portion of the structure gave
way, throwing the occupants of
the buggy into the water.
Luckily George Camp, to whose
home they were going, was at the
bridge waiting to act as escort,
and after a strenuous effort sue
ceeded in rescuing the doctor and
his wife.

John D. says It's difficult to
"get." Well, according to the
science of physiognomy. he was
led to riches by his nose. To de-
scend to vulgar parlance, the bealz
got the big cush.
Look at the picture above. The
Cyrano projection fairly sings OF
money, mortgages, deeds, safety
deposit vaults and oil. It's a sort
of Grecian-Roman mixture, like
the nose of Frederick the Great.
It tips up a little at the end and
is full on the sides, with the nos
trils large and dilating. These
are signs of acquisitiveness, the
scientists say.

THE TACOMA TINES
WOULD MAKE Y !:
DRUNKAROS PAY
LICENSE FEE

OLYMPIA, Jan. Ex-senator
Whitney of Spokane has some no.
lions on the saloon question which
are neither favored by the liquor
interests or those who aim for
prohibition. Instead of licensing
the man who sells liquor, Whitney
would license the man who drinks
It.
His scheme is to allow anybody
who wants to to sell liquor, but
only to persons who have license
to drink 1t. The license Is COM
plicated affair, containing the de-
tails of the drinkers physical
makeup and his picture.
When a licensed drinker gets
drunk the first time, he will be
fined or imprisoned, and his IL
cence to drink taken from him
for a few days. The second jag
results in a greater fine and a
longer suspension from the de-
lights of alcohol, but the third
and last time puts the drinker In
with the perpetual camels, and no.
body may sell him drink, not
even If he were to be bitten by a
snake.
There is a series of fines and
imprisonments for the seller of
liquor who sells anything to a
man who does not show his
| license.
Whitney's bill is one of the first
of the freaks" and of course
hasn't the remotest chance of get
ting on the statute books, but 1t
will afford Whitney some amuse-
ment.

BOY HAS 4 MANIA
FOR RUNNING AWAY

Little Robert Miller, 10 years

from home. Saturday night he
escaped from home and was cap
tured at a late hour by an elder
brother. He again escaped and
was found by Patrolman Guy lin
gering about the warm waiting
room of the N. p. depot.
The lad had no stockings on and
was nearly famished. He was put
to bed at the central station, and
later sent home.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. 25.--
The Canadian Pacific, which re-
Gently took control of the Wiscon-
sin Central as part of the fight
with the American roads for trans
continental business, has begun
arrangements to run its through
trains from the Atlantic coast over
the South Shore line on the south
side of Lake Superior by a new
cutoff, shortening the distance
across the continent.
1t is probable that the new
route will not only be used for
through freight, but also for the
emigrant trains with immigrants
for the Pacific Northwest.

Build Cotton Factories i'm
the South
Concluded from Page 2 }

at home the animal instinct Of the
natives of dark Africa stands them
in better stead than the intelligence
of the Caucasian farmers of the
South, who let their cotton circum-
navigate the globe before it reaches
them in the shape of clothing.
Fourth. Raising cotton and selling
it at no profit to supply the factories
say the least.
Fifth. If there is any profit in
manufacturing cotton and selling the
goods, let the profit carry some bene-
fit to the man who raises the cotton.
The South would be richer by at
least three times $6OO,OOO,OOO each
year.
Sixth. The South has all the ia
cilities and advantages for the bust
ness. The cotton is right here at
hand, only to be hauled from the gin
to the factory Much of the waste
and damage that occurs from moving
and handling would be obviated.
There is timber, both for building
and for fuel The soil is suitable for
making brick and concrete, besides
rock and granite, in the northern
part. There is enough iron and coal
(if it can be kept out of the hands
of the trusts). There is plenty of
water-power going to waste ct is
not the kind of water with which the
railroads dilute their stocks) Navi-
gable rivers and railroads traverse
the country and good harbors indent
the coast. The climate is such as to
make it good country to live in.
The days are long enough the year
round for all work purposes. The
soil will produce anything a hungry
man wants to eat, and at less cost
than in any other part of the world.
Factories would increase the number
of nOn-prOducers and thus furnish a
market for farm and garden eatables.
Operatives could work for less wages,
because the cost of living is cheaper
The weather is seldom cold enough
to require anything heavier than cot
ton goods. Making the low grade
cotton into cotton bagging would
take the low grades off the market
on which cotton quotations are most
ly based. Substituting cotton bag
ging for jute would reduce the cost
of packing thirty-fve cents a bale.
In short, if this country had been
built for manufacturing purposes, it
could not have been any more COM
plete. Aside from cost of machinery,
manufacturing could be carried on
in the South at less than half what
it requires in some countries In this
last estimate we allow other coun-
tries all they save in starvation
wages, working children for next to
nothing, and what they save in their
unholy twenty-four hours day
schedule.
Seventh. The seventh reason is by
no means least. If the people of the
South do not begin the nufa ct11r-
