Local Option Democratic Doctrine

'The Virginia Legislature in rejecting
statewide prohibition through the adverse
reports OF house and senate committees
stood by the good democratic doctrine
of local option" said J. r. Caruthers of
Washington, D. c.
Il was in Virginia few days ago, and
in conversation with members of the leg
islature learned that the argument based
on the fact that the democratic party was
committed TO local option was pressed
more than any other. The house commit
tee on privileges and elections is composed
of seven democrats and one republican.
and in voting ON the statewide bill which
had been drawn by the Anti-Saloon
league every democrat voted. against 1t
and the one republican voted for 1t. Vir-
ginia is as strongly democratic today as
it was 10 years ago, and it is likely to
remain democratic for many years to
come AS long as the democrats are in
power there is no danger of statutory pro-
hibition being forced on cities like Rich
mond and Norfolk"

New Orleans Being Modernized

sWhen I first visited New Orleans in
1885 it was as European In appearance
and in it's social atmosphere as any
thing L saw In Europe two or three years
LATER said a travelled man, but on
recent visits l have found it much
changed. New Orleans is becoming mod
ernized very rapidly. The commercial
spirit has possessed it, and it is becoming
just like other progressive American
cities. Although this moderning was in
evitable it is to be regretted from a
tourists point of view. While the
French market. St. Louis Cathedral and
other historic landmarks-even the car
nival-will be preserved for the benefit
Of visitors, New Orleans will cease to be
the quaint, picturesque city that it was
few years past.
'At the rate New Orleans is growing,
and with it's exceptional commercial re-
sources, l think it safe to say that it will
have a population of 100000 within the
next 20 years"

The Iron Market

Matthew. Addy & Co.. in their iron re-
port for this week. say:
There has been considerable buying
this week and it has been of suef1- a
general character that everything on the
list has been bought. There have been
no special features-any particular de-
mand for this and that--but all kinds
of iron have been called for in just about
the proper proportion. 1t is evident that
what iron has been purchased has been
purchased because it is really wanted.
1.-THE main tonnage of the week has
come from three or four very large spe-
cial deals, but there have been heavy
bookings of small lots from so to 500 tons.
1t is surprising that business is so sat
isfactory in view of the extremely severe
weather conditions. The railroads are in
bad shape. They are tied up in knots
in various parts of the country and con-
sumers who are expecting shipments in
a hurry are frequently being disappoint-
ed. 1t is getting so that users of iron
and coke, if they wish to avoid shut
downs in the winter, must lay in a large
reserve stock before the first of Decem-
Der. The foundryman who expects to run
from hand to mouth and trusts the rail-
road will accommodatingly keep him sup
piled with his materials, is bound to be
disappointed.
There is no question whatever In re-
gard to the increased work offered the
general foundries of the country They
are all getting buster"

mining and manufacturing plants have
been enlarged and equipped with the most
modern and approved devices. Old blast
furnaces have given place to furnaces
of the large and modern type; the steel
plant at Ensley has been entirely re-
built and rebuilt on a scale of such mag
nitude as to make us recall the original

1t was announced some months ago,
when plans were being studied and
worked out, that the wire plant would
cost about $1,000, 600, but it is said now
that as the plans developed the officials

"The coming to North Yakima next

said Or. George Sloan Monday. "is a
splendid chance for the people cs this
community 10 spread themselves and
start some boosting work on it's on
ward WY. They're n pretty good lot
of fellows and not one out of 100 OF
them was ever here, Now the prop
osition is simple. for If they are
shown what we have here they will
certainly pass it along. Someone says
there are 260 of those automobiles
here and [ don't doubt it, for every
body has one of them nowadays. Let
the real estate men get together and
have an automobile procession and
send those fellows out over the hill
and up into the Selah. Let the auto
mobile owners and the real estate
men give up a half day to the good
ot North Yakima. They'll all get it
back again.
Then let George Donald and \. c.
Richards spring themselves and tote
them about a bit Mr.. Donald might
run them up the Naches, which is the
most delightful ride to be had in this
delightful country. Then let Mr..
Richards and his street railway prop
osition go at them. He could take
them out to the Ahtanum, and it takes
a mighty good country TO beat that.
They should be taken over to the
Rose artesian well and the water
turned on for their benefit. Let it
spout $50 feet high if it will and let
them all have a drink Then let some
fellow with plenty of nerve tell them
that there is water everywhere under
this land, and they can be run over
into the Mckee and shown the wells
there and to one or two other places
where the water is flowing from the
ground. Then let some spieler tell
them that the highest land in the
Selah can be so irrigated. Boost
them. I say, until they won't want to
leave here. Let the same thing be
done with the Spanish-American w2r
veterans who are also coming next
month. Let the city and country be
whoOped up, and let them be properly
whoOped. What other reason is there
for having those fellows here?'

conditions he is more than ever

is without a rival for it's size in the
country.
Though California is a delightful
state and a prosperous one it con-
tains no city, Mr.. Michels says, in
which there exists the opportunities
for investment and for hustle and in
dustry that are to be found here. He
studied the south somewhat critically
and is of the belief that the develop
ment of the Pacific Northwest will be
greater than that of any portion of
the south and that North Yakima
will keep pace with the best in the
north. Briefly, Mr.. Michels after an
absence of seven months in travel re-
turns to this city and to his home
here a bigger booster than ever be-
fore.
