PULL TOGETHER
FOR BETTERMENT

Establish DEVELOPMENT Asso-
citation in Centralia.

CENTRALIA, March 24.-Dele-
gates from the commercial clubs of
Southwestern Washington, in their
convention here, accomplished the
formation of a general organization
of these clubs under the title of the
Southwestern Washington Develop
ment association. The following
counties were represented by one or
more delegates: Pacific. Chehalis,
Lewis, Cowlitz, Clarke, Wahkiakum,
Skamania, Thurston, Mason and
Klickitat.
Thomas Richardson, secretary of
the Portland Commercial club, was
present by invitation and was help
full factor, by reason of his large
experience in such matters. Ray
mond, Aberdeen, Hoquiam and South
Bend were especially we'll represent
ed.
1t was thought best to let each
commercial club work out the prob
lens of it's own community while
the central organization will work
tor the general welfare of South
western Washington in particular,
not forgetting the state at large
when it can lend helping hand else
where. For the present the associ1-
tion will interest itself in securing
good roads and the improvement of
rivers and harbors in it's territory.
The towns of this section have
common interests and there will be
no trouble in having them pull to-
Gether.
The following officers were elect

member from each commercial club,
to be chosen later on.

SEATTLE, March 26.-Another
and what is hoped will be the final
chapter in the odd lengths lumber
campaign was closed yesterday wnen
the members of the Pacific oast Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association by
a unanimous vote indorsed the So
Jailed Portland retailers resolution,
agreeing to furnish odd lengths fir
lumber for six months without cost
to the retailers with the understand
ing, however, that after that odd
lengths are to be paid for. While
adopting the Portland resolution, the
manufacturers adopted a supplement
tary resolution expressly stating that
the action covered only fir lumber
in II, 13, Is and 17-foot lengths,
and it was expressly provided that
the six months period is to end six
months from the time the original
Portland resolution was passed. This
will make it about four months in
which the manufacturers will give
away the odd foot on the uneven
length.

TO Be PROGRESSIVE.
Calls on Republicans to NCt. Declares
People will Not Be Satisfied With
Mere Repetition of Promises. Pub.

CLEVELAND O., March 25.-
James r. Garfield, former secretary
or the interiCt, in a speech before
'':" TlppecaI 'a clu" here last night
urged the republican party to con-
tinue progressive" He said in
part:
we as a party, have promised

Public Good Ahead of PARTY
To-day the average American de-
mands that his party strive for the
pubic good first; the party good
second. He pays but little attention

leaders. He will support them when
they strive for the common good:
ne VIII discard them when they fail

We are again preparing for a gen.
eral election. Parties and men re-
sponslble for the conduct of nation
al and state affairs will be called
10 give an account of their steward
snip and they will be judged by what
lhey nave done for or against the
public welfare. That is the stand
ard we should apply.
I'VE cannot deceive ourselves
with the idea that people will be
satisfied with the mere repition Of
promises; they demand and are en-
titled to action.
1.-The republican party owes its
success to the fact that all it's great
achlevements have been progressive
and aggressive. While it has in sue
cessful campaigns. urged it's history
as a reason for renewed vote of
confidence. it has placed it's main
strength on the fact that it looked
to the future rather than to the
past.
First Steps Taken.
whenever any party fails to be
progressive that moment it's useful
ness begins to wane. 1t is the part
or wisdom and courage to hold fast
TO a position gained as vantage
point in a great campaign, but the
chief benefit of such a position is
lost unless it is used for further
progress. This is the wide differ
ence between the preent day stand
patter' and the progressive. The
republican party has already rec
ognized the new order of things and
taken the first steps in the progress
s've movement. The great majority
OF our people believe in this new
order of things and demand that the
republican party continue to be the
progressive party"

Cannon MUST QUIT
OR HE WILL Be DEPOSED BEFORE
CLOSE OF SESSION.
Insurgents and Democrats Nav Unite
on d Speaker Who Is Not a Mem.
Der of Congress-. a. c. Kinds,
Pariiamentarian of the House,
Nay Be Named.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Many
insurgent republicans in the house
who voted to retain Cannon in the
chair are "hearing from home" ac-
cording to reports about the capital.
Following close upon this inform
alton came statements from several
that the war against "Cannonism"
will go on, ultimately causing the de-
thronement of the speaker, the cleo
tion of successor, and complete
reformation of the rules of the house.
A proposition to remove Cannon by
means of the combined votes of dem
ocrats and insurgents and substitute
in his place Asher c. Kinds, parlia-
mentarian of the house, is one of the
plans several insurgents advocated
today. The idea of placing in the
speakers chair pure parliamentary
an, not member of the house, who
would be entirely uninfluenced by
consideration of partisan advantage,
is pointed out by Representative
PoindeXter of Washington and others
as the logical and proper course.
Reform Must Proceed
Advocates of such action say the
reform in the house must proceed and
Lnat IHe lnllldl advantage SeCuIeu
last Saturday must not be allowed to
lag.
One insurgent said: ''Unless
Speaker Cannon resigns before this
session ends, we will depose him. If
it does not happen before, I look for
it to happen on the last day Of the
session."
Kinds is a republican candidate
for the nomination to congress from
New England. His present duty is
to formulate rulings for Cannon.
According to paragraph five, Sec
tion two, article one of the Consti-
tuition of the United States, 1.-The
house of representatives shall choose
their speaker and other officers, and
shall have the sole power of i'm
parchment.
Inasmuch as there Is nothing in
the Constitution to the effect that
the speaker must be selected from
among the members of the house, 1T
is possible for the insurgents and
democrats to unite upon and elect
some person not member to preside
over the lower house of congress-

COTTON HARVEST
AROUND BRAWLEY
Growers in Imperial Valley Plan
tationS Make Good Show
{ ing This Year
BETTER SEED IS WANTED
Probabilities Are That the Acre
age Planted to Cotton in
1911 Will Be Doubled
BETTER SEED is WANTED

Pic. ing and ginning of cotton in the
Imperial valley is at it's height, is the
statement made by the Brawley News.
1t is also stated that one drawback to
a careful estimate on the 1910 crop is
the fact that the seed last received was
of very poor variety and the cotton
from that seed is a source of disap-
pointment to numerous growers, who
are casting dscredit upon the land for
it's poor production.
When it is remembered that some
of the cotton growers who this year
planted 100 acres never saw cotton
plant until the 1.rst ones came up in
their fields, and that good, bad and in
different land was used, with a corre-
spending amount of care and cultiva-
ton, it may be considered that cotton
in the Imperial valley is reasonably
successf / staple crop and will continue
to be planted yearly in increasing
quantities.
Those who have travelled extensively
over the valley say that on the ranch
of Charles Fisher in the north end
of No. is one of the best large fields
in the valley. Mr.. Fisher believes
that cotton is a very profitable crop
and will raise it again next year. This
year he planted 100 acres, but his
greatest success will be with forty acres
which were planted with seed secured
early in the season. He says that the
crop from the portion planted last
will in no way compare with the other,
which has been approved by the eXpe-
rienced Texas growers as equal to any
| thing ever grown in that state.
On Saturday Mr.. Fisher hauled to
rawley seed cotton sufficient to make
three bales of lint. He has a large
amount of cotton piled up at his home,
but he will now continue to make daily
ips until the entire crop is ginned.
| Another grower who is faVorably i'm
pressed With the cotton crop is George
| j. Holloway, who seems to have
| knack at raising a heavy yield of
whatever he undertakes. His cotton
| has produced well, about three-quar-
ters of a bale to an acre and he has
made profit He is not satisfied with
| the seed and is making arrangements,
in company with other growers, to Sc
cure a carload of seed from a reliable
Texas seed house for next year. Mr..
|. Holloway thinks it is possible for the
grower to net $25 to $40 an acre on this
! cI1p.
| There are but few complaints heard
around Brawley of failure of the crop.
| Next year the acreage in the north
| end will be largely increased.
