JACK DRAINS BODY FOUND
Remains of Missing N. p. Brake

River Near Selah.

Caught in underbrush along the
banks Of the Yakima river. a short
distance south of Selah. the badly de.
composed body Of j. S. Drain, the N.
P. brakeman who has been missing
since November 20, was found

farmer. while fishing. A party head

Sheriff Lancaster removed the res
mains from the water and brought
them to the undertaking parlors Of

Drain left Ellensburg on the after

At the suggestion Of Mr.. McLaugh-
lin, ten Of the leading spirits in the
Rotary club met at the Arctic club for
lunch on Friday for the purpose OF
discussing the feasibility of the plan
which has been suggested by the
Herald. They became intensely in
terested and the conference lasted for
three hours notwithstanding the fact
that 1t was midday in the height OF
their busiest season. 1t was the
unanimous conviction of this confer
ence that the general outline Of the
proposal as suggested by the writer
was the proper method of attacking
the problem which just now is of such
vital importance to the whole state
of Washington.
Among other things the writer dis
covered a lack of definite information
among these men as pertaining to the
resources of interior Washington.
Many of them were not acquainted
with this section except in a general
way. But they listened intently to
every fact explained. 1t needed no
argument to convince them that the
future of Seattle is linked with the
development of the country which lies
at her back door, so to speak. They
are ready to work in conjunction with
other communities to this end. They
are keenly alive to presSlt needs and
are anxious to set in motion what
ever movements are necessary to bring
about greater development and pro-
gress. At the meeting Friday they
promised their cooperation.
Feeling Of Cooperation.
When the idea was first discussed
in North Yakima 1t was not believed
that the west side would be interested
in a movement of this sort. Seattle
has seemed to entertain too exalted
a notion of her own destiny to be con-
cerned with scheme which might
indicate that her future was in any
sense dependent upon any other sec-
ton of this state. But If Seattle men
have felt this way in the past, they
have abandoned the idea now. The
facts have come home to Seattle Just
as forcibly as they are being brought
home to the people of the Yakima
valley. The future of the state of
Washington hangs in the balance and
Seattleites feel that their future
growth and trade is closely concerned
with the development of every pro-
ducing acre in the Yakima valley and
in every other section Of the state, as
well.

BY HARRY H. ANDREWS.

That the state of Washington must
formulate and put into operation an
aggressive program of publicity, sys-
tematically exploiting the resources
of this state. county by county, Is the
opinion of those who have lately re-
turned from the east where they have
come into contact with the efforts be-
ing put forth by the states of Oregon
and Idaho. This idea was set forth
at length in these columns a week
ago.
1t was pointed out that these two
states by maintaining offices in the
larger cities of the east, are urging
nothing but 50 900 land; that If the
prospective settler can afford such ex-
travagance he can as well go to Wash
ington as elsewhere, but that Oregon
and Idaho offer the same opportuni-
ties in a less advanced degree of de-
velopment for from $50 to $3.50 per
acre. Practically every man from this
section who visited the Land & r.
rigation congress and the Chicago Ap-
pie show returned with this explana-
ton of the lack of settlers that are
invading Washington while the tide
to other states has not perceptibly de-
creased.
Seattle Is In Line.
The Herald pointed out that the
only recourse left to the people of
Washington, is the utilization of the
publicity efforts of all the commercial
bodies in the state under one head
and the prosecution of systematic
campaign for the development Of our
resources. At first the idea seemed
chimerical because of the existence of
so many localities and SO many large
cities, whereas in Oregon, Portland is
the key to the whole problem, and Is
alive to every opportunity for the de-
velopment of that state.
But last week the writer paid a
visit to Seattle and called on Earl J.
Mclaughlin, vice president of the Ro-
tary club, the "live wire" commercial
body of that city. This club Is COM
posed Of young men, high up in the
wholesale and retail business Of Sc
attic. They have undertaken as their
first important work, the bringing to-
gether of the Seattle Commercial club
and the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce. Their next effort will be
something along the line of systemat-
ic publicity, problem which they
have begun to study seriously.

WOMEN BOOST FOR
GOOD ROADS
First Good Roads Ever Held in
United States by Women Il At
tended by Judge Ronald in
Seattle-Movement Programs.

| SEATTLE, Dec. Alphabetically
the first Good Roads meeting ever
held in the United States by wo-
men and for women was addressed
by Judge j. T. Ronald, president of
the Pacific Highway association, at
the monthly meeting of the Tacoma
Business Womens League in the
Commercial Clubs headquarters of
the City of Destiny.
This meeting, and the interest of
the women Of the state of Washing
ton are taking in the Good Roads
movement, undoubtedly follows the
constitutional amendment which was
| favorably voted upon, giving equal
suffrage. If the enthusiasm dis
played at the Tacoma meeting is a
test of the interest in the Good
Roads movement, the women of the
Evergreen State will be the most
enthusiastic and ardent supporters
of the Good Roads cause in the fu.
ture. Edith Tozier-W eathered, a
well known magazine publisher of
| Tacoma, presided at the meeting. In
introducing Judge Ronald, she point
ed out the many opportunities that
Good Roads gave everyone for de-
ivelopment, both materially and
otherwise and that the people, es-
! pecially the rural population, were
greatly handicapped by the lack of
good roads. To illustrate this, the
speaker recited some experiences of
her own that made a decided hit
with the audience.
| Women for Roads.
| Already the influence of the newly
enfranchised electors in the state of
Washington is being felt for the
good of highway improvements. as
Judge Ronald's address stirred up
interest that will set in motion a
great deal of activity in favor of the
Good Roads movement and of this
Pacific Highway in particular.
The Touring Club of America
who sent out A. L. Westgard to map
out a route across the continent,
has advised the Pacific Highway Of
hcials that Mr.. Westgard has re-
turned to New York and will not
attempt to make the trip up the
coast this winter, largely because
road conditions throughout north
ern California, Oregon and Wash
ington would not be favorable. 1t
is hoped that it can be arranged SO
that Mr.. Westgard can return to
the Coast in the early spring and
/ complete his trip northward to
Vancouver and east across Canada.
However, If Mr.. Westgard does
not make this trip, this same work
will undoubtedly be done by Mon
tague Roberts and DR.. Chas c. Per-
cival, who left Detroit, Mich, Nov.
10 on one thousand mile durabil-
ity run for the Abbott-Detroit Mo-
tor Car Co. The run will take
them across the continent, through
Texas into Old Mexico to Los An
geles and up the coast to the Ca
madam border. The route for the
return has not yet been selected.
but it will undoubtedly be either
over the Canadian Highway or the
northern part of the United States.
Roberts is we'll known driver,
having plotted the winning car in
the New York to Paris race.

SEEKS PERFECT RECORD

Says That He Is Delighted to
Know That So Many of His Ac-
quaintances Are in Love With
Each Other.

Ninety-nine couples were married
this year by Rev. Morton L. Rose, D.
D.. pastor Of the First Christian
church. This is an average Of one
Marriage for every three and two
third days. AS there are four days
left this year there is every likeli-
hood that the round hundred of
couples will be completed. It IL not
this number that Mr.. Rose IL aiming
at, but the completeness of the ng-
ures; 100 being more a perfect mark
than 80, which after all looks like q
price mark at q bargain sale or q
Judges score on a Yakima apple.
Speaks to Congregation.
II was his desire to make his
record perfect that led Mr.. Rose to
impart the information regarding
the number OF couples he has mar
ried within the past twelve months
Speaking to members Of his congre-
cation Sunday he talked about the
record of the years work, showing
that this, that and the other UNDER
taking had been carried forward to
a nice conclusion. But his record of
marriages. at the time of his speak
ing, was SO couples. He had one
other couple in sight. he said. for
the afternoon and still another was
necessary before the end of the
year to make the century. Some of
those who were present during the
remarks by Mr.. Rose said there was
blushing among choir members and
on the part of some others in the
church when chances were turned
their way, but there were no volun-
teers at the time.

SEATTLE ANXIOUS TO COOPERATE
WITH ALL OTHER SECTIONS IN A
SYSTEMATIC PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
ofW
Is M fol- Meeting
in hene-s Of was That
Organize ndExp Hes RESOURCE systematically

The details Of any plan of aff1lia-
ton or cooperation in regard to sys-
tematic publicity among the states
commercial bodies, have not been
worked out. That will take time. But
it is interesting to note that the rec
ognition of this need should result
in steps to this end almost stimuli
taneously in Seattle and North Yak
ina. An effort will be made immed-
lately to ascertain If other sections are
in similar mood.
Oregon Helped by Railroads.
The Hartman lines in Oregon work
band in hand with the commercial
bodies. They gather the data for the
booklets and prepare 1t for publ1ca-
ton. The communities contribute the
cost of printing. Much Of the litera-
ture Is work Of art, some Of it be-
ing done in three colors. In sharp con-
trast to this cooperation, it has been
pointed out already that the Hill
roads took not foot Of space at the
Chicago Land and Apple shows, while
the Hartman roads took every foot
that they could buy to assist in ex-
plotting the resources of the Pacific
coast and other sections through
which their lines pass.
During a recent visit to Seattle
James J. Hill pointed out that this
state must begin some systematic pub
licity work. He said that none had
ever been done and pointed out that
certain communities were we'll known,
because they had been padding their
own canoes at tremendous cost as far
as advertising is concerned. He did
not say that the Hill roads would help
in any such movement, but the en-
trance of the Hartman lines into this
state makes 1t certain that the Hill in
terests will be obliged to follow what
ever precedent their rival SETS
And that the Hartman interests are
firmly and irrevocably committed to
this policy. is we'll established. With
the whole state united in systematic
exploitation of this states attractions
and resources, duplication of effort
and much needless expense will be
avoided. The work will be done
thoroughly and effectively and results
will be enhanced thousand fold. 1t
takes no tremendous intelligence to
recognize that fact. From present in
dications 1t seems that no very ex-
tended effort will be required to crys-
taliZe this sentiment into an organiza-
ton which will place Washington in
the front rank, position to which
her resources entitle her.
