NEWS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST

The politicians and those interested
in good government in national affairs
were given a pretty clear statement OF
what the farmers of the northwest want
when the tri-state convention OF the
Farmers Educational and Cooperative
union met in Occur d'Alene, Idaho,
last week and passed series Of reso-
lutions, favoring among other things,
Woman suffrage, direct legislation, pos
tai savings bank, parcels post and cleo
ton of the president and U. S. senators
by direct vote. The equal suffrage
advocates are jubilant over the action
of the farmers organization. They be-
lieve that they will get at least an even
break in the cities when it comes to
voting on equal suffrage at the Novem-
Der election, and strong majority in
the country districts.

Chelan County's Financial Condition Good

According to the report of {. A.
Battles, treasurer of Chelan county, the
tax collection for the first three months
of the year amounted to $210, 1924;
for April, $12,610.12, and for May
$62,272.84. He will compile his
statement at the end Of this month for
the second quarter and for the first half
of the calendar year. The total amount
collected to the 1st of June was $685.
1880, of which $180,745.90 has
been expended, leaving a balance Of
$155, 900. These figures relating to
outlay and to cash on hand cover road,
school and general fund accounts. The
sum Of $47,368.44 will be used in the
immediate future to redeem a part Of
the outstanding warrants of various
school districts and to reducing the
floating indebtedness against the We
natchee school district. There will be
an ample balance, when added to the
incoming revenue, to meet the coun-
tvs general expenditures.

Alaska Gold Strike Magnyfied

Private letters just received from
Iditarod, the mecca of the latest SIAM
pede in Alaska, indicate that the won
derful gold strike reports published in
Seattle were false and inspired as usual
by the transportation companies, which
have no difficulty in enlisting big
papers in the work of buncoing the
gullible money-mad male portion OF
the public out of steamship fares. Pay
has been found in shallow ground on
five creeks, but only in spots," says
one of these letters. THE spring clean
up will amount to only 500, 900, and
the camp will never be large one.
Merchants have greatly over-estimated
the importance of the field. However
a vast area of country remains to be
prospected. Langley Islander.

STATE PRESS COMMENT
Strength and Culture

From an anonymous critic, over the
signature of "A Christian The Re-
public is taken to task for "flippant
editorial comment" relative to the ap-
preaching pugilistic contest between
Jeffries and Johnson. "a Christian"
urges that interest in feats of strength
indicates barbarism, or at least a lack
OF culture" This is a view entertained
by many persons, but is it true? Is it
any sounder than the theory that ugly
women must be good, and that beauti-
full women must be bad?
The Greeks were the most highly
civilized race of antiquity and they
were also the most athletic. They
abolished nearly all forms Of torture
and they invented nearly every form of
chariot race. They were the greatest
writers Of their time, but the hand that
welded the stylus could deliver terri
BILE blow with the cestus. 1t is posi-
BILE that the best sculptor in the world
and the best wrestler in the world lived
in the same Athenianian street. Attic
philosophers and Attic sprinters flour
ished side by side. Their great enc
mics, the Persians, whom they beat,
were as lacking in sports as they were
in literature.
Turnout the middle ages the sport
ing English, whatever their faults may
have been otherwise, were usually more
humane than the other nations of Eu-
rope. They did not often yield to
cruelty in victory, and they seldom
slaughtered women or children. They
had few torture chambers, but many
boxers. There were no bulls in the
British arena, but innumerable wrest-
lers on the village green. We have
inherited both their customs and their
point of view. Strength is disposed to
kindness. 1t is truism that the big
boxers are better natured than the lit
tie ones, and many wise philosophers
have held that weakness inclines to
cruelty when it has a chance. The
physical contest may let off the steam
which, bottled up, becomes dangerous.
Savages never boxed, but they burned
their enemies alive. Wenatchee Re-
public.

men, what will be the result out among
the class Of people that the Star, which
is openly supporting him, caters to?
It is generally conceded that Poindex-
ter will get his main support from the
working classes. And if this is fact
there is but one chance, assuming that
this vote shows the temper Of the peo-
pie, to elect a senator from King
county, and that is for Judge Burke
and John L. Wilson to submit to an
advisory primary, the one receiving the
smallest vote to retire and throwing all
of his influence to the winner"

To Build Church on Profits from Orchard

To Build Church on Profits from Orchard
The Christian church organization at
Wenatchee, at a meeting last week,
decided to erect at once new church
building to cost not less than SIS, 900.
Some years ago two OF the members OF
the organization, Judge Palmer and
1. N. Derifield, presented the church
with tract Of land near Malaga, which
at the time was not considered espec-
tally valuable. The present income
from the orchard on this land is consid-
cradle, and the property would readily
sell for $4,000. The church people,
however, have so much faith in the
earning power of the ranch that instead
of selling they have put mortgage on
it and with the money so secured will
erect one of the most substantial
church buildings in Wenatchee.

According to the American Grocer,
the use of alcoholic beverages has de-
creased during the past two years to
the extent of $110, 1875, 900. The pei
capita use of spirits is the smallest
since 1900, and of beer since 1905.
Last years consumption of tea, coffee
and cocoa was the largest since 1905.

Straw Vote Shows Poindexter Strong

That Poindexter has a strong. tho
silent, support in Seattle was shown
decisively in a straw vote taken last
week among the men in the New York
block by J. A. Johnson, who was curl
Gus as to the standing of the various
candidates. The count shows Poin-
dexter within four votes of Judge Burke
and fifty-three ahead of Wilson, which
is going some when it is considered
that the vote was in the very heart OF
the opposition camp. The four princi-
pal candidates ran as follows: Burke
81, Poindexter 81, Wilson "a, Hum
phries -.
The Argus of Seattle comments:
THE voters were business men and
their employes-lawyers, doctors, real
estate men, bankers, etc. They are
thinking men. They know what they
want and are not afraid to express their
opinions. And if Poindexter receives
such vote as this among business

On state road No. 10, which extends

river into Okanogan county, the state
highway commission will spend $780,

The coroner's jury last Friday re-
turned a verdict of criminal negligence
against William Dorm, Great Northern
brakeman, holding him responsible for
the wreck at Wenatchee and the re-
sultant fatality, details of which were
published last week. The jury also
severely censured L. w. Bowen, the
division superintendent at Spokane, for
laxity in enforcing the rules of the
company. Dorm was bound over to
the superior court for trial. He is
married man and a member OF the
Eagles and B. Of F. & L. E. His
home is at Hillyard.

Wenatchee Sore at National Apple Sho'

Wenatchee Sore at National Apple Show
The management of the national ap-
pie show at Spokane has been adj
vised by the Wenatchee commercial
club that the exhibit ratings given De-
licious and Winesap apples are abso-
lutely unacceptable to the orchardists
of this valley. In plain language, the
advice is that unless Winesaps are rated
10 and Delicious restored to the old
rating Of 9-10 that Wenatchee will not
participate in the next national apple
show.
According to Rem H. Rice, manager
of the show, this threat is little hasty.
No ratings have yet been fixed" said
he in a press interview. Last year
we used the ratings of the American
Pathological Society, which gave Wine
saps a rating of 7-8. During the show
massmeeting OF growers was called to
suggest changes in the ratings and this
meeting set Winesaps at 80. Lately
we have called upon last years exhib-
itors to get their opinions OF the rating
suggested. After we have heard from
all OF them the board of trustees will
fix the new rating"
