proven II to the satisfaction of hun
dreds Of chicken raisers in the vi
entity of Petaluma, who now follow
her unique idea of protection.
That their unanimous opinion
has some weight must be admitted
when you consider that 100000
dozen eggs are shipped from here
yearly. With her widowed mother
Miss Perry started small chicken
ranch near Petaluma two months
ago. Within a week so hens had
disappeared. Locks were put on the
chicken houses and watch dog
was procured. The dog died q
mysterious death. The locks were

sufficient amount to make the pur-,
chase. In. this manner. the city
was not going into debt.
Baldwin showed that water ex-
tensions yearly cost $3.50, 900, the
revenues being but 100000 and
the other 100000 a debt. He said
the deal was serious question
affecting the city's credit. He ad-
mitted that from business stand
point the plan was an excellent
one, and a private concern would
be foolish not to enter into 1t.
Councilman -Ostrander made the
fight for the company and won out.
1t was while Baldwin was appar-
emily SCATTERING the prospects of
the deal going through at all in
spite of the finance committee
recommendation, Mr.. Maloney sug-
gested to Councilman Funk that
the proposition be accepted pro-
vided the company would agree
that the city should do the job with
citizen labor. The bait was snap
ped and opposition subsidized.
Councilman Ostrander's argu-
ment was based principally on the
supposition that where water goes
the population goes. which conse-
quently means additional revenue
to the city.

LEGISLATURE
COSTS $4,000
| this SESSION
Especial to The Press)

r. OLYMPIA, Jan. 13.-It is going
to cost the state of Washington at
least $500 for the benefit of the
deliberations of the eleventh
biennial legislature. That is the
figure of the appropriation bill
passed at the first session of the
legislature, and the members
hope. to keep within that amount.
Last year they started out in
what they thought was an economi-
cal frame of mind and passed an
appropriation bill of $4,000, but
before the session was concluded
it became evident to those keen on
salary mathematics that there
wasn't going to be enough to go
round and another $1,000 appro-
priatien was passed. Even with
this addition to the regular amount
there was a deficiency at the end
of the session of about $4,000 for
printing and other expenses.
Learning this first lesson in
legislative finance, the leaders
started out this year with an $685.
900 expense account and will prob
ably live up to every cent of it.

WINS POINT FOR
:: DAY LABOR
NEW WATER MAIN DEAL PUT
ON BASIS THAT WILL PAY
$2.75 AFTER COMPANY HAD
FIGURED $2.25.

Citizen labor won a hot fight in
the council last night against the
Homesite Land Co., represented by
Attorney Alex Winston. This COM
pany has been figuring on putting
in water mains at a cost of about
$4,000, and last night on the
recommendation of the finance
committee, the council entered into
"a new deal and agreed to put in
the mains by day labor at $2.75 a
day, the city to be reimbursed by
the company. One year after the
revenues from the system reach IL
per cent. the city will purchase the
mains.
The day albor deal was what the
company did not desire. Thomas
Maloney of Federal union No. H.
624 for several weeks was decker
ing with the company for the job
of laying the mains. He offered to
save the contractors profit. The
company was willing to accept pro-
vided Maloney did not pay his men
more than 1925 a day, claiming
that men could be got for that, and
even less.
When the proposition reached
the council last night, Councilmen
Baldwin, Dalke and Funk made
hard fight against establishing
precedent which would bring other
companies in with like schemes,
when the council would be forced
to treat all alike.
For many years the custom has
been for the city to purchase mains
out Of the revenues. laying aside
the receipts until they reached

blow up the statue but little attention was

was to the effect that no monarch ought to be
