TEACH THEM TO BE FARMERS

The need for more practical edu-
cation for the boys and girls of the
Northwest was impressed upon
Portland people during the past
week by notable talk before the
State Bankers Association by Jo-
seph Chapman, Jr., vice president
OF the Northwestern National Bank,
Minneapolis. Mr.. Chapman told
of the good work done in his OWL
state, where rural schools have been
established and practical agricul-
ture is not only taught there, but
in the public schools as we'll. The
result of this work is that young
men who formerly fiocked to the
cities are now being educated to
stay on the farm and the soil is be-
ing regarded as the source of all
wealth. Mr.. Chapman says that
under the former system, children
of Minnesota were being educated
to do nothing useful, whereas the
new education makes them self sus-
tanning. He strongly urged SINH
lar system of education for Oregon
and Washington, saying it offers
the solution of the problem of pop
ulating the vacant farm lands of
the two states.

AS TO RATES

The Pacific Power & Light Com
pany, all along their lines are max
ing efforts to placate their patrons
by offering a reduction in rates.
North Yakima has made an awful
boiler, likewise Walla Walla, over
the rates that the company has had
in force for the past few years, be-
ginning even before the present
management had charge. At both
of these towns, where the company
was threatened with the installation
of municipal plants, the cut in the
rates has been made public in the
last few days. and will likely kill
the idea, for the present at least,
of plants run by those cities.
The company has announced its
willingness to meet the towns a
trifle more than half way in the
matter of the service and rates.
asking in return the trifle of a fifty
year franchise.
The most important cut in prices
to the people in the Kennewick
valley is in the water rates. Water,
in this section of the west is the
magic power that transforms the
desert to a livable region. Water
is the one thing that we must have;
lights could be dispensed with, if
necessary. This move by the COM
pany will be a means of adding to
the beauty and productiveness of
the places within the limits of the
town.
Let us hope that this will not be
the end of the company's philan-
thropic plans for the betterment of
the conditions in this particular
portion of the United States.

MEANS MONEY IN THE BANK

The most striking thing that is
lacking, in the eyes of our eastern
visitors, in the Kennewick and
Yakima valleys is the dairying bus
mess. In every locality in the east
or rather the middle west, where
COWS and hogs are among the far
mers' chief assets, prosperity is
most evident. Large, well-kept
houses and barns equipped with
all modern conveniences attract the
eye of the visitor in each of these
localities.
Kennewick, with the plans that
are now being matured by the
various men in the valley for the
installation of creameries and the
stocking of the farms with good
dairy COWS and the introduction
into the valley of men who have
made dairying a study and bust
ness of a lifetime, has made the
most important step in the advance
ment of the country that she has
ever made.
The best dairying country in the
the world lies about US, which
should and will be taken advantage
of in the very near future. To
make each COW in the herd pay
many times over her cost will be
the efforts of the men who will en-
ter the field. AS man from the
east, who stopped off in Kennewick
this week, said: "They make ma
chimes of their mich COWS there,
and each COW brings to her owner
several times her cost in a years
time. OF course these COWS do not
keep up their big production as long
as the poorer animals, but the
owner can afford to make her into
beef after she has reached a certain
stage. 1t seems to me that this
new step will be the. making of
your country; certainly you are not
making a mistake.''
The valley people are taking hold
of the idea, and without doubt,
it will be but comparatively short
time until there will be scarcely an
acre in this valley that will not be
under cultivation. 1t cannot be
started too quickly.

POLITICS TO THE REAR

Samuel Hill, son-in- law of James
j. Hill, and known throughout the
country as an advocate of good
roads, has publicly announced that
he will not support Gov. Hay in
the latter's fight to become the
nominee of his party for governor.
The two have fallen out over the
question Of good roads. Hill is Of
the opinion that Gov. Hay is not so
much interested in good roads as he
is III building up a political ma
chine for his own personal advance
ment. Hill says that politics should
not he permitted to enter into the
good roads movement; that if the
State of Washington is to have a
system of of perfect public highways
the question of politics must be re-
legated to the rear. He and Gov.
Hay do not seem to agree on that
point and as the governor is look
ing into the political future from
his own standpoint Hill declares
that he has no more use for him
and will not support him.

BREAKING RECORD

When Contractor Dyer, who is
building the Sugar mill at Monte
Vista. figured on the job, he made
all kinds OF allowance for bad
weather. We are told that three
hours covers the total loss to date
on account of inclemency, and &C.
oordingly all signs point to the
completion of the factory several
weeks ahead of the schedule.
Everything is moving along
smoothly in connection with the
plant, and before one realizes it, a
modern sugar mill will be a CON-
pleted reality in oar midst.
The beet fields for the most part
are ahead of expectations, and
with good crop the first year, the
sugar industry will soon find itself
in the front ranks of the staple
and dependable lines Of activity in
the Valley.

AN IMPROVEMENT

One of the most important i'm.
provements in town this year is a
deep drainage ditch along the side
of the country road between the
old town and the Sunnyside addi-
ton. This ditch will drain the
swampy strip of land which has
heretofore been breeding place
for mosquitoes. This ditch is be-
ing constructed by private parties
who have valuable lands that will
be much benefited by its construc-
ton as will also all the towns
people south of Third avenue.
The ditch takes the place of
sewerage for the present. 1t will
help to carry off the waste water
from the artesian wells in the west
side addition also.
This county road leads direct
from the Gunbarrel road to the
sugar factory and the county conf
missioners will soon be called on
to open and grade the road.
