Money Needed for Improvements.

Money Ne.ded for Improvements.
The company hoped to get the in
creased revenue to put into the prop
erty. This would not only have en-
HANGED the value of the property and
the securities based On it but would
have benefited the shippers greatly
The most of the men in charge of
these railroads feel that they should
expend more money for improve
ments. They want more equipment,
double tracks in some cases, and bet
ter terminals In order to properly
care for the natural increase of the
traffic of the country. That was the
main purpose of the effort to get
more net earnings, and without larg-
err net earnings it is absolutely i'm
possible to secure the money with
which to get all of these betterments.
For that reason it has seemed to
me that the manufacturers and larg-
er commercial interests in opposing
these rate increases We're really
harming themselves and their own
best interests.
The roads are not and have not
been for several years in condition to
properly take care of the maximum
traffic during the heavy traffic season,
and they never will be able to do so
unless they can increase their net
revenue"

experience indicates that most home
owners and shop keepers will be eager

clean up their premises and the streets

fore the police court and made to ex-
plain the reason for their negligence.
It is not a fad. this cleaning up

The true color OF the sea. he de-

THE COMMISSION PLAN.

Whether or not the commission
form OF government is advisable is
one Of the liveliest subjects of the
day. Something like $50 cities Of the
United states are now trying the
commission plan. In an article in
Everybody's magazine for april
Charles Edward Russell gives the fol-
lowing pointed reasons for favoring
the commission plan:
/. 1t abolishes party politics from
local affairs.
?. II eliminates the boss, the graft
er, and the political machine.
3. Il views a municipality as a
great business enterprise and provides
accordingly for its effective manage
ment.
4. 1t recognizes definitely the fall
ure of representative government and
substitutes therefor a system of dem
ocracy; it recognizes the fact that
there is no wisdom but collective
wisdom.
5. 1t establishes direct RESPONSE
biIity for every public act.
6. 1t seems to be swift, efficient,
economical and adapted to a rational
community in the twentieth century.
I. It abolishes a raft of useless Of
fices, ~sinecures. jobs, and political re-
wards. and substitutes organization,
method and work.

PLENTY OF FRUIT.

Reports received from the Milton
Freewater country r optimistic.
From appearances at this time the
east end will harvest the largest fruit
crop in years. Just now there are
so many buds upon the trees that
unless some of them are injured by
frost it will be necessary for the or
c%hardists to do some trimming in or
der to keep their trees from being
broken down. This is good news. A
bumper fruit crop will mean prosperity
for the people of the east end. Here's
hoping that up around Freewater and
Milton there will be such a heavy
crop this year that both the o.. R.
& y. and the Northern Pacific COM
bined won't be able to handle the
fruit shipments.

nerve" 1t can be understood why
other things being equal, the game at
the present is usually in favor Of the
younger man.
Older men put theirs energy into their
business or professions. Skill is bought
at the price of practice, and very few
adults in this strenuous country of
ours can give he necessary time. The
difference of practice of one hour Il
day may decide a tournament. Con-
slant practice makes large part or

the nerves and tournaments require all
one has.
Again, all he senses of youth are
somewhat more acute, and the imita-

The young golfer has succeeded be-

exceptions to every rule Some men
who have won national honors the
past few years learned the game when
fully grown, and some of the best golf
was played in this tournament by men
who, although young, could not be
classed among the boy golfers.
On the whole, however, the past sea-

will belong largely to him. For man
