COUNTRY TENDS TO
SOCIALISM
"But She Won't Go Too
Far" So Says w.
F. Herrin.

Los Angeles, CAL, Nov. 12.-W. F.
Herrin, Southern Pacific attorney,
and regarded as one of the most
astute politicians in California, said
in az interview last night that he
does not regard the socialist vote
cast at Tuesdays election as matter
of very great political Importance.
1.-THE trend of this government"
he said, constantly tends toward
socialism-or toward what I con-
strue socialism to be. Carrying the
mails is a socialistic function. How
far we shall go, can not say any
more than another, but believe we
shall not go too far.
81 have great confidence in the
American people. When they are
fully informed they always settle
problems right.
"In Wisconsin I can realize that
socialism is worth attention. When
they begin to elect men to Office, then
it is time to reckon with them, but
here in California there seems little
chance of that. The socialist vote in
California is not formidable"

Miller Purchased Chris

for $4,000.

The Jack Chrisman ranch in the
lower Methow valley, was sold last
week to John Miller of this city, the
purchase price being $4,000. This
is considered one of the very finest
of many beautiful large properties
of this wonderful valley. 1t con-
tains SO acres under water besides
considerable acreage good for pas
turage part Of the year.
The property may be remembered
as the watering place for the stage
horses midway between Pateros and
Carlton. A young orchard is thriv-
ing, but the fame of the alfalfa field
is great. Chrisman has always val
ued his alfalfa even more than or
chards.
The late owner and his wife have
gone back to their old home in
Montana for visit. Later they in
tend to return to the Methow and
obtain another ranch in the valley
they say is the best on earth.

London, nov. 14.-Signor Farran-
ii, the famous electrician, lecturing
before the institute of electrical en-
gineers here, foretold wonderful de-
velopments in the use of electricity.
He declared that before long the
weather would be controlled by cleo
tricity so that even the sun will shine
or rain will fall as necessary. Cir
cling the coasts by one electrical
defense will force the clouds to de-
-scend to the sea in the form of va
por instead of drifting over the coun-
try and obscuring the sunlight when
the sun is needed.
Farranti predicted that before
many years electricity would be pro-
duced at one-sixteenth of the present
cost of production and thus it would
be supplied for every purpose of en-
ergy and lighting by generating on
scientific and properly conducted
lines. The by-products of coal con-
verified into electricity will furnish an
amount of fertilizer sufficient for
every acre of agricultural land in the
country.
'All the coal we have to burn
should be converted into electricity
said Farranti. Then all the wants
now met by burning coal will be in
finitely better filled by electricity.
We should convert our coal by the
wholesale at few great centers on
