A receiver has been appointed for
the many famous or infamous E. q
Lewis enterprises at University City,
suburb of st. Louis. This Lewis is
the man who organized the idea of
giving each town, large or small, a
womans' club house. The plan was a
simple one. just get all the women
taking subscriptions for a large num-
Der Of magazines for an enormous
number of years and turn the money
over to him, a small percentage of
which he would under certain con-
ditions, return to be placed in club
buildings. Mr.. Lewis issued a dozen
or more publications from an expen-
sive magazine down to cheap daily.
He also went into the banking bust
ness, the real estate business, the
bond business and many other affairs.
He collected money from people from
all over the United States, mostly
from the poorer class OF laborers who
could not afford to lose their money,
but could not afford to prosecute. He
has finally been brought to account
and a receiver has been appointed for
the property. The shortage will run
into millions. Some of Mr.. Lewis
schemes we're very pretty as theories,
but few of them worked in practice.

In spite of the severe droughts in
the middle western states, the July
crop report showed that the average
was good, and the country will pro-
duce on the whole an immense crop.
Wheat stands 81 per cent or little
higher than July 1st last year. The
Pacific Northwest's average was re-
markably large; Washington standing
at SO per cent and Oregon 90 pei cent,
both above last year. Washington's
ten year average is II per cent for
winter wheat. Idaho made remark
able showing Of spring wheat, stand
ing 100, Washington 81 and Oregon
"a. Washington oat crop stood at 81
and Oregon at SO. Nearly all parts
of the country have had splendid rain
fall since that report was issued, and
we believe the August report will
show even better than July.

News reports are to the effect that
DIR. Wiley, who has been in charge of
the pure food experiments at Wash
ington ID. G. for many years past,
has been summoned before President
Taft to show why his resignation
should not be accepted. The charge
against DR.. Wiley is that he employed
an expert chemist at $4,000 per day
to do certain labor for which the law
allowed but $50. 90 per day. DIR. Wiley s
action while he has been in charge of
this work has been criticised severely
almost from the beginning of his
service. That he has made some
mistakes and has over-stepped his
authority in some instances can not
be doubted, but he, has done so great
a work for the American people that
unless his offence is more serious
than the news report show, President
Taft will make serious mistake in
removing him.

Seattle businessmen have shown a
inclination to boost a proposition of
this kind. We believe the farmers
are ready for movement of this
kind. Why not get togetehr and thus
utilize the good feeling which should
exist between the country and the
cities. Seattle's greatness depends up
on the development of King county.
King county's development depends
on Seattle for market. Their in
terests are not inimical but are identi-
cal. The development of one means
the development of the other. They
cannot develop alone.

for elections, and no doubt both cities
will be counted among the commits
sion cities during the present year.
The busy city of Hoquiam on Grays
Harbor has just held it's first primary
to select three commissioners and
mayor. The primary law is now
adopted by most of the states of the
Union and the commission form OF
government is being adopted by most
of the cities. All this means larger
independence among the voters. The
old line parties will be compelled to
give the people good government
to win their support.

No Western Washington Fair.

It looks now as though the Western
Washington Fair, conducted by GER
tain citizens of King county, is a
thing of the past. A notice has been
sent out saying that the directors had
decided to abandon all efforts to give
fair in the season of 1911. The i'm
mediate cause of this notice arose
from the fact that mismanagement of
county appropriations was charged by
certain tax payers and the matter was
taken into the courts. After hearing
the evidence, the court decided that
the appropriation from the county
could not be used as it has been.
The Western Washington fair has
been managed by body of Seattle
capitalists, but the commissioners of
King county have been giving annual
appropriations for it's encouragement.
The appropriation for 1911 amounted
to $18, 900 and this amount of money
properly expended should have given
the county irst-class fair.
The greatest drawback to the fair
has been the lack of suitable grounds.
The grounds used we're situated on
Lake Washington, entirely of all
roads, and could be reached only by
a single street car line through Sc
attic, or by boats around Lake Wash
ington. To build large agricultural
fair there was impossible. Recently
some efforts have been made to get
the old racing grounds at The Meadows
about six miles from Seattle, but the
County Commissioners feared the
public would not endorse their action,
and they refused to take up this
matter.
King county has population ex-
ceeding $50. 900. The state of Wash
ington has a population of l, al, 600,
so it will be seen that practically one
fourth the population of the state is
in King county. The tax valuation of
the state of Washington is 1906, 247,
600, excluding the railroads, and the
total for King county is S248, 600, 600,
or practically one-fourth of the assess
cd valu alton of the state. The idea
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-08-01

that this great county cannot conduct
a successful fair is preposterous, and
it is shame for its citizens to allow
such a state of affairs to exist.
Seattle is not only the metropolis of
King county, but of the state of
Washington. Transportation lines
center in Seattle in such a manner
that half million people can reach
grounds at The Meadows within two
hours. Cities of the state for as far
north as Everett and as far south as
Tacoma. 1t takes people to make a
successful fair, and the more people
who can reach its grounds in reason
able time, the more certain a sue
cessful fair can be maintained.
1t is true that the agricultural in
trests of King county are not as ex-
tensive as in some of the counties on
the east side of the mountains, but
the agricultural interests Of King
county are developing rapidly and
deserve the utmost encouragement.
Nothing can do this more successfully
than properly conducted agricultural
fair. This fair need not necessarily
be devoted exclusively to agricultural
displays, but the wonderful manu-
featuring interests of the county
could be shown to advantage. The
"buy at home" Cry should be en-
couraged. The booster spirit could
be placed on practical basis. 1t is
useless to bring people to this country
unless these people can either secure
labor or land. An idle man is of no
benefit to a community. The "back
to the farm movement" will never be
success until the men who desire to
go back to the farm can get the land,
and when he gets back to the land he
must have market for his produce.
These great questions could be
worked out if a proper agricultural
fair was organized and held annually
in King county. In this movement
the transportation companies would
work in hearty sympathy. King
county commissioners have shown a
disposition to be liberal with a move
ment Of this kind. The large tax
payers are equally in favor OF this.

The reciprocity measure passed the
Senate by a vote of So to 27, July
22nd, and became law by the sigma
ture of President Taft, July Goth.
This is the first move toward the
destruction of the high protective
tariff law of this county, and though
the farmer as usual must beaI the
first brunt of the battle, there is no
doubt that in the long run it will
prove to be good craftsmanship.

State Commissioner Of Horticul ture
Huntley had big scare the first OF
the month when an insect which he
believed to be the brown tail moth
was discovered in the Rainier valley,
near Seattle. He Immediately went
to work on this with other fruit in
spectors and quarantined about 20
acres of orchard. six acres of which
were affected with the pest. Upon
Matching the cocoons it is believed
the pest is not the brown tailed moth.
1t is said that not only the trees but
the grass and ferns showed the CO.
coons. 1t is sincerely hoped that this
is not the brown tailed moth, as it
is one of the most destructive tree
pests known to man.

The great prohibition fight in Texas

The great prohibition fight in Texas
was lost by very small margin.
This was wonderful battle and nearly
half million votes were cast. The
drys lost by less than 10000. 1t was
one of the bitterest and closest con-
tests which has ever occurred in
America. The proper curtailment of
the liquor curse is the greatest ques-
ton before the American people.
Whether prohibition is the best
method it is impossible to tell, but
it looks as though this was the only
method that was strong enough to win.
