Recommendations

Although j. G. Brock, representing
the Northwestern Electric Light &
Power association, entered a vigorous
protest, the Conservation association
Yesterday afternoon adopted resolu-
ton which put it on record as favorlne
state taxation for the use OF water
hereafter acquired by private lnd1vlo-
uals and corporations for power pur-
poses, and making it the sense or the
organization that all power franchises
granted should, in every instance, De
limited to a reasonable and definite
period of years.
When it came to the adoption OF the
resolutions Mr.. Brock, who was reg
ularly accredited member of the assocl-
alton. made objection to their adop-
ton as a whole and his amendment
that the resolutions be adopted section
by section was carried.
"I would ask this association as the
representative of the Northwestern
Electric Light and Power ASSOCIATION
not to adopt this resolution. claim

1T levies an unjust burden upon all
power companies throughout the state
if it is finally carried to the leglsla-

cause this seeming distrust? Why
IRE we picked out? What have we
lone to justify this insnuation? The
company which 1 represent, as well as
other similar corporations, are not so
callous as you seem to imagine. We
have and are doing the people a great
public service. We furnish power
and light to Seattle, Tacoma and other
'arge cities at reasonable rates. We
are not the sOulless corporation this
resolution would insinUate."
Chairman Douglas of the resolutions
committee and United States District
Forester E. r. Allen answered Mr..
Brock and showed that the resolution
offered was not aimed at any particular
corporation, but that it was proposed
merely in the interest of the people,
whose rights to natural resources of
the state, especially those pertaining to
the use of water, was paramount over
the rights of any individual or cor
pOratiOn.
Chairman Blalock put the motion on
the adoption of the resolution and it
vas carried.
The resolution as adopted follows:
Resolved, 1t is the sense of this meet

ing that the state of Washington should
make an annual charge for the use OF
water hereafter acquired for power
purposes and that the franchises there
fore should in every instance be linn
tied to reasonable and definite period
of years.
THE committee on conservation ap-
pointed in the senate is simply grim,
sarcastic joke. Its members are not
in sympathy with 1.-THE conservation
movement. All legislation which had
to do with the conservation movement
was blocked and eliminated from the
sundry civil appropriations bill when
it came up before the senate of the
United States.
Il ask, and leave you TO answer, what
sort of influences are at work to pre-
vent the progress of the conservation
movement? If we are in earnest about
all this why, 1 assert, we should not
stand idly by and see our efforts at
remedial legislation throttled by our
representatives IN congress-"
The speaker asserted that when the
rivers were put in navigable condition,
they would be the country's greatest
regulator of freight rates.
THE three Northwest states, Ore
gon. Washington and Idaho should
unite and work tremendously in the
great work of opening up our navig-
able streams, and l hope and believe
that the people of Washington will
take the position that the states re-
sources must be conserved"
Whitney Speaks on Fruit.
At the conclusion of Mr. Tears adj
dress <. l.. Whitney. fruit inspector for
Wal!a Walla. Franklin and Columbia
counties, spoke to the association on
the development of fruit culture in this
section, and predicted that before
many years, fruit raising would be a
bigger industry in this part of the
state, than wheat raising.
Short addresses were also made by
Z. r. Allen, district forester for the
U. S. forest service; A. A Morse, spec
ial representative of the o. r. & NJ,
Portland; and L. E. Meacham, public

vention was then declared adjourned
by Chairman n. G.. Blalock who pre-
sided in the afternoon in place of Gov
ernor Hay who was called to Olympia
on urgent business and was forced to
leave in the afternoon. Before leaving
the governor spoke briefly saying that
he would ever stand ready to do all in

STRANCEST YET
THREE DIFFERENT CITIES MAKE
SHIFT IN ODDS ON TO-
NIGHTS FIGHT.
Two HiddIeweights Are Down to Re-
quired Pounds and All Aeady for
Go Which Begins at 2:30.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-Drying
out was the order of the day yesterday
at the camps of Hugo Kelly and Billy
Papke and by nightfall the two middle
weights were down to the stipulated
weight, 1853 pounds for their 40 round
battle today.
The fact that Kelly has been made
a favorite in New York, Papke in Los
Angeles and that the betting here is
at evens makes the contest, from the
standpoint of wagering, one of the odd
est in the history of the ring. New
York undoubtedly has installed Kelly
fayorite on his showing against Joe
Thomas, whom he permitted to stick
five rounds, when he could have put
him out in the first round of their mill
in New York. Kelly made a great hit
with the New Workers. so great, in
| fact, that until KetcheI gave Jack
| OBrien his they conceded Kelly more
| than an even chance against the Michi-
gan boy.
| Los Angeles is making Papke favor
| lite more as a matter of sentiment. The
| eXthunderbolt spent several months in
| the south and as he is an exceedingly
pleasant fellow he made many friends
who are willing to risk their money on
| him at any odds. Aside from the SEN
| itmental part Of it, the southerners
know that Papke lived the simple life
while in the south, that he took a good
vacation, breathing the pure mountain
| air, Ginning hills and hunting. They
| believe he Is right" as he will have
! to be if he hopes to win from Kelly this
afternoon.
Kelly, although a trifie pale and
peaked, is in grand shape. Some of
| the fans who have watched him go
! through his PAGES think he looks bit
| "greyhoundy," but Trainer Mcdonald
merely laughs at this. He points out
the fact that Hugo's face is naturally
! sharp, being of the clean cut, cameo
| sort, and that a few days of hard work
makes the skin look drawn. In addi-
! ton to this, Kelly, while being sub
stantially built, is not possessed of a
bulky body, the flesh being evenly dis
! tributed over his five feet and nine
! inches.
Although he has been fighting 10
years, Kelly is still young man, be-
ing only 26 years old, a stage too early

for some good ones. no damage was
accomplished. He famed three men,
walked four, and held the visitors down
to tire hits. Patton, for the visitors,
had a little the best of the pitching
argument until the eighth, when he
was lander on for three hits, making
the tally of hits five.
Pullmah's chance to score was in the
4th, when the bases were full, and
only one man down, but Belt pulled
himself out of the hole in good order,
tanning one, and throwing the other
out at first. Features of the game were
the doubles, w. Belt to Shubert to

HALF BACK SANDY.
Another Successful Production
tuesday EXeninu

The play of the above name was pre-
sented at the opera house Tuesday even
ing by the Middlebury College Dramatic
Club for the benefit of the Debating
Union and the Athletic Association.
This was the first play presented by
the recently organized Dramatic Club,
although many of the actors are old
favorites with Middlebury audiences,
and the entertainment was a pronounced
success, tlling forth much merited APP
pause.
The members of the club may justly
feel proud of their initial performance,
and the public will look forward to the
next one which will probably be given
the present winter.
Not the least pleasurable part of the
program was the work of the College
Orchestra which furnished excellent
music between the acts and for the dance
following, which was attended by about
forty couples.

County Court.

Mrs. Ayers was placed on the stand
again Friday morning but showed signs
of fainting when she had answered but
four or five questions and was removed
from the court room and Dr. White was
summoned and administered restoratives
and she was able to be back in the court
room during the latter part of the fore
noon but did not 90 on the stand again
until the afternoon session. The plain
tiff, Miss Fnnety, was placed on the
stand and her direct examination re
sumed. She testified to matters tending
to show that during the time she lived in
the Ayers home she and Mrs. Ayers
were close friends and that Mrs. Ayers
cuhtided to her the particulars relative
to several quarrels that had taken place
between Mr. and Mrs. Ayers. Witness
stated that the first trouble that she had
with Mrs. Ayers was when she, Mis-
Finnety, was about to leave the Ayers
home Mrs. Ayers wished to pay Miss
t'innety for the work that she had done.
Miss Fnnety felt nsulted to be regarded
in the light of "a servant and AS witness
claims this was the source of the trouble.
AT the opening of the afternoon session
Friday Mrs. Ayers was again placed on
the stand. She told of laying her
troubles before attorneys last summer
and how the original suit happened to be
brought. Other witnesses placed on the
stand by plaintiff were Mrs. LenOra
Morse and II. S. Jenney of Brandon.
But little was accomplishing in the
court on Saturday as Miss Finnety. when
on her way to the court house in the
morning fell on the sidewalk a few feet
east of Mr.. Angels furniture store and
though not seriously Injured, was not
able to be present in court till Monday
afternoon. The plaintiff finished putting
in their evidence Tuesday morning.
The defence has already put on several
witnesses from Salisbury whose testimony
tends to show conditions which would
Justify the arrest of Miss Finnety and
Mr.. Ayers last summer. 1t is probable
that this case will occupy the attention
of the court for the remainder of the
week.

PENNIES IN THE BOX
Don't Put Them There. Buy
Stamps for Mail.

Postmaster Skiff has received the fol-
lowing circular letter from the division
of rural delivery, United States Post
Office Department:
From recent count made by rural
carriers in one of the counties i'll the
State of New York of coins deposited by
patrons in their boxes for the purchase
of stamp supplies, it was found that
each carrier in the county was collecting
an average of lis one.cent coins each
week. This average applied to all the
routes in operation throughout the coun-
try would give the enormous total of
about 100000 in one-cent coins.
As most of these coins are deposited
loose in boxes, it is desirable that you
and the rural carriers, in a tactful and
polite way, put forth your best efforts to
induce patrons to provide themselves
with stamp supplies in advance of their
needs, and to equip their boxes with
suitable coin-holding receptacles. 1t
should be explained to patrons that the
picking of loose coins from boxes not
only results in needless hardship and
suffering to carriers in winter weather,
delays the delivery and collection of the
mails, but frequently results in actual
money loss to the carriers for, if, in
collecting coins from boxes, they drop
them into the snow or on the ground
without recovery, they are required to
replace the amount out of their own
funds.
If it can be done without expense to
the Department, announcement of the
foregoing should be made in your local
paper.
The Register is glad to publish the
above for the benefit of the carriers. 1t
is practically impossible for the carrier
to pick up these small coins when their
hands are encased in heavy gloves or
mittens, and with the mercury lowering
around zero, and perhaps twenty or
thirty below, it is far from pleasant to
be obliged to remove the gloves; and,
then, as the circular says, there is good
chance of personal loss to ihe carrier.
Patrons of rural routes do not inten-
tionally make it hard for the carrier,
but IL they would exercise little more
thought in this matter-and perhaps
some others-his duties would be made
much more pleasant.
The time is near at hand for forming
good resolutions for next year; include
this among them.
