CASE FOR GOVERNOR

Otto A. Case, auditor of Kine
County, has entered the lists as q
candidate for the republican nom.
ination for governor in 1912. II
has been known for some time that
Case was considering the matter,
but now he is out with an official
announcement, embodying a plat.
form that will appeal to many in
dependent voters. AS strong a
plank as Case has is the one advo-
eating state aid for clearing and
settling the logged-of lands Of
Western Washington and the irri-
CATION of small projects east of the
mountains. Having been elected
clerk twice and auditor twice, in
King. County, Case has demonstra-
ted that he is something of an or
ganizer. Consequently, he is ex-
pected to show some speed in the
gubernatorial race next year.

THE p. p. & L. MOVE

Much indignation is being ex-
pressed that the Pacific Power &
Light company should move their
offices to Pasco, leaving their bust
ness to be conducted by a bank in
this city.
Quietly at work, few of the
victims of the 'REv1s1oN"(?) of
the rates, are gathering data on
the cost of erecting and operating
a municipal plant. The figures
will be presented shortly, as the
commercial club has had some talk
on the question, and water power
cites are being looked up.
One of these plans is to use the
water power available at the head
gates of the N. P. 1. canal, and the
other is to join Walla Walla and
Pasco in installing a plant on the
Snake river. Either of these plans.
or in fact, any plan for becoming
independent of the Pacific Power
& Light company, will have its eff
feet on the actions of that corpora
ton toward the city of Kennewick
as it did on North Yakima and
Walla Walla.
The company has acted in an
unsatisfactory manner in ways be-
sides the revision(?) of the rates.
In the matter of securing lights for
the residence portion of the town,
the company was very anxious to
make the contract that was
when they were trying to get that
longtime franchise passed. Since
that time the local manager has ex-
pressed doubt as to whether the
city would ever get the lights, or
even the water mains that have
been ordered laid.
1t certainly is nice attitude for
the company to take towards city
that is expected to GIVE fifty year
franchise, when they still have
some seventeen years to run under
the one now in force.

$500 CUP FOR BEST
DISPLAY At FAIR
Spokane Offers Inducement to Increase
the Size of the Displays at
Interstate Fair

Rivalry among districts where
fruits, grains and grasses are grown
is encouraged by the Spokane Cham
Der of Commerce, which has just
announced the offer of a 500 silver
cup to 60 to the locality making
the best display of it's resources at
the Spokane Interstate Fair, the
week of October 2. It should be
understood" said Ben Burgunder
of Colfax, superintendent of the
department Of fruits, grains and
grasses, that this cup will be
awarded to the district making the
best all-around exhibit, and not to
the one that excels in any one
thing, apples, for instance. Va
riety of resources, arrangement of
booths and many other items will
be taken into consideration. +"
Manager Robert H. Cosgrove of
the fair says that plenty of space for
effective arrangements will be given
all competitors.

BIG MONEY IN THIS

H. B. Scudder of North Yakima
has made arrangements to start a
cat ranch on Grays Harbor. In his
prospectus which he sends to the
Yakima Republic, he says: I'VE
will have 100000 cats to start
with. Each cat will average IL
kittens year. The skins run from
10 cents each for the white to IS
cents for the pure black. This will
give us 100000 skins a year to
! sell at an average of 80 cents apiece,
making our revenue about $40, 900
day gross. A man can skin so
cats day for So. 1t will. take 100
men to operate the ranch, and the
net profits will thus be $4,000 day.
We will feed our cats on rats and
will start rat ranch next door.
Rats multiply four times as fast as
cats. If we start with 900, 900
rats, we will have, therefore, four
rats day for each cat, which is
plenty. We will feed the rats on
the carcasses of cats from which the
skins have been taken, giving each
rat fourth of a cat. 1t will thus
be seen that the business will be
self-acting and automatic all the
way through. The cats will eat
the rats and the rats will eat the
CATS Mr.. Scudder says stock in
the concern can be had from any OF
the late townsite and irrigation ditch
promoters until business picks up
little in their own lines.

PROTECT THE BIRDS

Every once in a while some solon
introduces a bill for the better pro-
lection of the birds, over at
Olympia, and gets himself laughed
out of the box as a result. Still,
these fellows are on the right track,
and nowhere should the people be
more interested in the success of
their efforts than in the fruit-grow-
ing sections. In Germany at the
present time the people are going
to a great deal of trouble and ex-
pense to get the birds to come back
again. Insect pests of all kinds
have been making great inroads on
various kinds Of fruit of late, es-
pecially since the conversion of
large numbers of farms into vine
yards, which destroyed the oppor-
tunities of the birds to nest. We
have plenty of use in this section
for all the insectivorous birds, and
if they can sing little on the side,
so much the better. We are in
favor of protecting all the birds.
