Opposition of the most pronounced
type is developing against the action
of the State Democratic Executive
Committee in eliminating the Offices
of circuit judge and state attorney
from the primary, and as the people
become more acquainted with what
the action may finally result in, this
opposition will grow stronger. Many
take 1t as direct blow at the prinl-
ary system, being the entering wedge
towards the return to the old and un-
satisfactory convention system, which
takes from the hands of the eIpeople
the right to select their public SER
wants.
Chairman Frank B. Radcliffe, of the
Escambia County Democratic Exc
cutive Committee, is strongly opposed
to the action of the state executive
committee and condemns it in no un-
measured terms.
I'VE will not abide by the action
of the state committee" said Mr.. Rad
cliffe to Journal representative last
night. eff a majority Of the county
committee will stand with me we will
put the names of the candidate for
circuit Judge and state attorney on
the ballots voted in Escambia county,
and furthermore we will insist that
the nominee be appointed by the gov.
ernor. l have spoken to a large mum.
Der of the county committeeman and
they are in favor of the plan I have
mentioned.
""The state committee had no right
to eliminate these Offices, and make
them appoiIftive. The matter should
be left to the voters to decide, ahd
we propose to have the voters of EEs.
Gambia county do so.
"It is our intention to take the
matter up with other county commit.
tees in the First judicial district, if
the state committee does not meet and
Irescind dts action, and VIII endeavor
| to get these eymmittees to place the
names of candidates for circuit Judge
and state attorney on the ticket. II
they do, good and well, but If not
we will proceed, and the candidates
for these offices receiving the highest
| number of votes will be the nomi-
nees. even though the vote is only
taken in Escambia county"

New York, Jan. 26.-Street car men
of New York and other cities are

WR|GHT'S SIDE HILL
IRRIGATION
System Installed by Which
Orchard is Irrigated
by Sprinklers.

Perry Wright of Lake Chelan has
system of irrigating side hill or
chards which is so successful that it
is probable that the same will be
used in watering dozens of otheror-
chards similarly situated throughout
this section of the state. For the
purpose of experimenting Mr.. Wright
installed through part of his orchard
a number of pipe lines. On the small
pipe lines were erected sprinklers.
These sprinklers were placed about
twelve feet o,ve ire sinai. :';;e tine
and when in action spread the water
over a radius of so to so feet. The
small pipe lines are connected with
main of much larger size.
Prevents Washing.
This system of irrigation prevents
washing. The water comes out of
the sprinklers like mist and the hot
sun beating upon it produced the
same effect as warm rain. In this
way the entire ground is covered, the
trees are washed. the fruit takes on
better color and there are no ugly
bitches to look after.
No Work to it.
One of the nice things about the
plan is that there is no work to it
after once installed. All the orchar-
dist needs to do is to turn the faucet
and let the water run as long as he
thinks necessary.
Cost Not Heavy.
The cost of installing such a sys-
TEN throughout an orchard is but
$50 per acre. For bearing orch
ard this is a negligible amount.
Mr. Wright installed the system
through but part of his orchard but
the plan is so successful that he will
adopt it throughout his entire orch
ard. Clark Bissett who owns the adj
joining orchard expects to adopt the
same system.
For Wenatchee Side Hills.
For those in the Wenatchee Valley
having side hills the plan is worthy
of investigation. 1t is in orchards
located in this way that the difficult
ty is experienced in irrigating. This
will eliminate the trouble.
