The maintenance Of the creates
waterway in the world, composed @
the Great Lakes, on which the govern
ment of the United States has expend
ed more than 10000, 900 for harbor
and connecting channels, presents al
argument in favor of the scheme Il
develop thousands of miles of teritor.
in the Missouri and other valleys. Tit
other projects outlined in the foregoing
are Of equal if not greater importance
and with proper backing they can b'
carried out successfully.
No one questions the Statement
that good roads have a high money
value to the farmers Of the nation, and
it may be said that this alone is suffi.
cient to justify the cost of their con.
struction as rapidly as practicable I'M
der an efficient, economical and equita.
Bile system of highway improvement.
The big points in favor of this expendi-
ture is the economy of time and force
in transportation between farm and
market, enabling the growers to take
advantage of fluctuations in buying and
selling, as we'll as enhancing the value
OF real estate.
1t is estimated that the average an
nual loss from poor roads is 76 cents
an acre, while the estimated average
increase resulting from improving all
public roads is SO. The losses in five
years would aggregate 50, 432 for every
section of land, or more than enough to
improve two miles of public highway.
The necessity of good roads is obvious,
as it would enhance the value of each
section of land about $500, or more
than double the estimated cost Of two
miles Of improved highway, which con-
stitutes the quota for $40 acres of land.
The value of our forests was never
better appreciated than today. Within
the arid and semi-arid portions of the
western states nearly l24, 100000 acres
are covered with woodland, Of value for
fuel, fence posts and other purposes
essential to the success of the farmers.
There is also 81, 900, 900 acres covered
with heavy forests having commercial
value for timber and logs for sawmills,
also hundreds OF thousands of acres Of
timber lands in other parts of the
United States. Reforestation and con-
servation of the vast resources are
necessary to provide future generations
with timber and lumber supplies. The
government is expanding large amounts
of money every year to protect its for
ests from fires, yet expert lumbermen
say that more standing timber is de-
stroyed by flames annually than is con-
verted into merchantable lumber by
the sawmills."
Mr.. Hooker said it is likely that his
resolution will be presented to the va
rious interests of the irrigation congress
for discussion and will afterwards be
incorporated in a memorial to congress.
1t is also purposed to have large del
egation, composed of representatives of
every state and territory in the union,
push the measure for adoption. The
work of enlisting the support of the
people interested in the various projects
will be taken up Immediately after the
close OF the irrigation congress with
the view to concerted action.

The Northern Pacific railway is ex-
periencing such an extremely heavy
demand for its literature pertaining to
the A.-Y.-P. exposition, that in addi-
ton to total issuance Of $4,000 cop
les OF its elaborate booklet and many
thousand small leaflets, new edition
of $4,000 copies Of an attractive To-
page pamphlet has been struck off and
distributed among its passenger repre-
sentatives. This makes upwards of
200, 1000 pieces OF literature which the
Northern Pacific has issued and circu-
lated, advertising the Seattle fair, and
every indication is that further supplies
of the matter will be required before
the exposition is over.

Since the opening of the gates Of
the A.-Y.-P. exposition, more notable
persons have visited the Northwest
than during any other similar period
and there is every indication that this
part of the country will continue to
attract men Of prominence, from which
great advertising values are sure to re-
suit. One of the most interesting Wis
itors was M. ]. Jusserand, the French
ambassador to the United States, who
participated in the ceremonies attend
ing the unwilling Of the heroic monu-
ment Of George Washington on the
University campus. The Father Of
His Country and the statesman for
whom our commonwealth is named,
has been faithfully reproduced in
bronze by Laredo Taft. M. Jusserand
paid a glowing tribute to the first pres
ident of this country and declared that
his death was mourned by the French
as much as by our own people. Other
distinguished public men in attend
ance recently were the governors of
Oregon. Idaho and California. A little
later on, William Jennings Bryan is ex-
pected. coming as a private citizen.
And toward the close Of the exposition,
President Taft has said he will be here.
During the summer many congressman
and senators from all parts of the coun-
try, as well as other notables, will come
to the fair and tour the Northwest.

When the first thru train over the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
reached Seattle from the metropolis of
Lake Michigan, the first Of last week,
a new era in the commercial life of the
great Northwest was inaugurated. This
train brought President A. J. Earring
and other leading officials of the COM
pany, who made the inspection trip
and pronounced themselves as well
satisfied with their line. For the first
time in the history of any railroad the
Milwaukee will publish a complete set
Of tariffs independently of the Trans
continental Freight Association. Presi-
dent Earring has announced that his
line will make its own rates independ-
emily, thus going into open competi-

instead Of playing in with them. He

The Washington Equal Suffrage As
ISOLATION will hold its twentieth annual
convention in the lecture room of Ply
mouth church in Seattle, beginning at
Q o'clock, June 80, 1909. This con-
vention will be Of unusual importance,
according to an announcement just
made by Mrs. Emma Smith DeVoe,
president, not only because Of the
pending woman suffrage amendment in
November, 1910, but also because the
state association will have the distinc-
ton of entertaining the forty-frst an
nual convention Of the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association dur
ing its deliberations from July LIST to
7th, inclusive. A special party is COM
ing from New York and Chicago, and
will be met by an escort at Spokane to
accompany the fasteners to Puget
Sound. The Alaska-Yukon-Pacifc ex-
position has set aside Wednesday, July
7th, as Woman Suffrage Day, at which
time the nationol officers will have full
charge of the program in the audito-
rum. 1t is expected that every club
in the state will be represented by ac-
credited delegates and that as many
others as can will attend this notable
gathering.

explained that this does not necessarily
mean a freight rate war, but that the
company wants to be at liberty to
make any rate that it sees fit, subject
TO the rules of the interstate commerce
commission, without having to consult
its competitors fsrt. That the Milwau-
kee is destined to become a strong fac
tor in transcontinental and overseas
rate making, as a result Of this position,
is foregone conclusion and business
men are welcoming the independence
manifested, as it means much to them.

Inscriptions promoters in every
field spoil many legitimate undertak
ings and in no line are the distressing
effects felt more than among real es-
tate men Recognizing the fact. the
organized realty dealers or Seattle
and Bellingham have decided to take
a stand against those agencies that
have made capital ty misrepresenta-
tions. A committee has been ap-
pointed to Investigate the methods
and advertising of certain operators
and it is reported that some of their
details are to be laid before the COM
ing session of the King County grand
jury. This step should have a clari-
flying effect upon the atmosphere that
will be felt all over the Northwest.
for there is no denying that some new
corners have been "bunkoed" by tax
ing for granted without investigation
the alluring inducements offered in
many quarters. The result is bound
to cause dissatisfaction sooner or later
and the man who suffers gives black
eye to the whole section. The oppor-
tunities with land are so bright In
the Northwest that there is no occa-
sion for misrepresentation and no ex-
tenuation under any circumstances.

Government is
Aiding Farmers

Secretary Wilson. of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. has issued
statement pointing out that the United
States government is spending in the
neighborhood of SIS. 100000 year
on experimental work in increasing
the yield and efficiency of the farms
of the country. The statement was
inspired by the charge made by Will
liam G. Brown, president of the New
York Central lines. that the natter
could better afford to invest the cost
of one battleship in agricultural ex-
pertinent work than to expend it in
the increase of the navy. A battle
ship costs approximately SO. 100000.
Secretary Wilson declares that the
government is expanding each year
exactly twice as much as first class
battleship costs, and the money is be-
ing used in precisely the manner rec
commended by President Brown. The
assistance given farmers Of the United
States. the secretary declares. is not
confined to any locality. AS an in
stance of the aid the department rem
ders, Secretary Wilson recited the
case of farmer who was raising only
20 bushels of potatoes to the acre and
who, dissatisfied. appealed to the de-
partment for assistance and advice.
Both were given him promptly and
Mr.. Wilson says he il now raising
$50 bushels to the acre on the same
land, as result of using the seed and
the information given him by the gov
eminent.

Business men of the Northwest re-
sent the attacks made on Secretary
Richard A. Ballinger of the Interior
Department. by an eastern periodical.
An emphatic endorsement of his ad-
ministration has already been adopt
ed by the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce, while commercial organiza-
lions in the other large centers of the
Northwest are preparing to express
their indignation at these continued
assaults. President Taft having care
fully investigated the charges found
not the slightest grounds against his
cabinet adviser and therefore the
attack is an indirect one on the ad-
mlnistration. The friends of Mr..
Ballinger do not feel that it is fair
Tor eastern interests to attempt the
slaughter of an innocent man, when
the real object is another. A mighty
protest is to be raised to let the whole
country know that the faith of the
Northwest in its representative in
the presidential family, stands un.
shattered.

no especial choice in the matter ex-
cept to see that sucL men are elected.
The retiring officers. when it is con-

have done good and efficient service.
and we would like to see them again
elected to the offices they have so we'll

of them at least seem to feel that
they have served long enough and de-
sire to surrender their chairs to
others. Even if they have made mis-
takes it must be admitted that they
have the work we'll in hand and an-
other year could do much for the
benefit of the municipality, as could
Others also after the same experience.
But why sacrifice this time in gaining
that experience which these men al
ready have? We feel that it would
be better for all concerned to have
the present incumbents reelected, but
if this be not the case then let the
new officers, whoever they may be,
have the united support of every tax
payer and not hamper them by try
ing to tear down or discourage their
work.
