Observer. Ely Sir Horace Plunkett.
New York: The Macmillan Com

Sir Horace Plunkett has long been q
sympa thetic observer of American con-
ditiOnS, and in recent series OF articles
in the Outlook. under the title of Con
servatiJn and Rural Life he undertook
10 point out certain factors in our de-
velOpment which he regarded as calling
for the most serious consideration He
has now expanded these articles some
what. and has presented them in book
form at a time when public attention is
most sharply focused upon the subject of
conservation and the chief apostle of that
policy is returning to American public
life after a vacation in Africa. Mr..
Rooseveit's country life commission " Mich
resulted in practically nothing i'll the way
of actual even suggested changes, is
discussed as an interesting factor in the
solution of the social problem in the
United States. The author believes that
the weakness of our rural economy lies
in the lack of organization. The advan-
tage of consolidation and cooperation
lies with the manufacturing and maniDu-
lating factors. Sir Horace declares that
the political influences OF the farming
community have never been commensurate
either with the numerical strength of its
members or the magnitude of their share
in the nations work He pays high
tribute to the federal Department of -as-
riculture and to the universities and
colleges of the middle western states.

HOQUIAM IS POOR

HOQUIAM, Aug. 13.-The finances
of the city of Hoquiam are in depict
ed condition, according to reports and
ECONOMY will be the watchwOrd
from now on. The reason for this
condition is given as the very rapid
growth of the city and the fact that
many permanent improvements had to
be installed which has taken the city
cash at great rate. Hereafter war
rants which cannot be classified as
legal expense" will not be signed by
Mayor Mourant, unless majority of
the council request him to do so. BY
this means the blame for the eXpendi-
ture will be shouldered on to the coun-
cimen. So far in debt is HOquiam
now that people, in cashing warrants
at the bank, must endorse stamped
promise to stand good for them. Next
spring it is planned to float bonds
and refund the city's indebtedness and
thus take up the outstanding warrants
which approximate about $1SO,OOO. At
the present time they draw per
cent interest, but it is believed that
bonds can be floated for per cent.
Thus the difference between the pre-
vailing interest rate and the new rate
would affect saving of more than
$4,000 a year in interest alone.

MORE NEW BUILDINGS
Building Boom Hits Hoquiam Hard
and Many New Structures Are
Planned.

HOQUIAM, Aug. 13.-Following the
recent announcement of construction
of new buildings. comes the report
that the First National bank Will
erect a splendid new home on its
present site, corner of Eighth and |
streets, razing the present wooden
building to provide site for the new
one. S. A. Hoag, Who owns abutting
property, announces that, If the bank
goes through with it's plans, he will
do likewise and aid in the movement
to rid the city of wooden fire traps
that have existed for many years. 1t
may be possible that all OF the wood
en- buildings on Eighth street between
7 and X may be RACED and a solid
string of concrete structures built
in their places.
In connection with present building
operations, it may be stated that there
are II substantial residences being
built in different sections of the city
aside from many smaller ones.
