Commercial Travellers Prefer
10 Work In Dry Territory

A few days ago, in a hotel in the
dry town of Maple Falls, young
man was heard to say: well, / do
not drink myself and have no use
for it, but I hate to see the business
end of this town knocked out. It's
killing it." Acommercial traveller,
Mr.. B., in the room, suddenly look
ed up and in nice, quite way said
Brother, you do not know just
what you are talking about. | am
commercial man. We commercials
know where business is and where
it is not. There was banquet "a
few days ago of commercials. at
which sixty-six Of US sat down.
After our dinner. we had several
kinds of entertainment. During the
evening one said: Let us find out
just how we commercials stand on
the ''wet and dry" proposition.
Those who prefer to work in wet"
territory and towns put wet on
their ballots, and those who prefer
the other write dry, and the
result showed only three for wet
and sixty-three for dry. There was
no sentiment in the business. it was
purely and simply business propo-
sition, most goods sold, most money
collected. Therefore, my brother
from a strictly business point Of
view, it is safe to say that it will
benefit this town commercially to
remain dry"

is going to work miracles of expan-
sion. The boom is nursed along by
the distribution Of the money
brought in by newcomers. 1t is a
sort of parasitical growth where
the people live upon each other, and
it will come to an end when the in

One of the laws passed by the last
legislature is of wide spread inter-
est to every citizen, yet there are
very few who are familiar with it's
provisions. 1t is called the Public
Service Commission Law and it will
go into effect June Is next. It pro-
vides for a commission of three
members who are expected to regu-
late such public utilities as railroads.
steamboats,, telegraph, telephone,
light, power and water companies,
wharves etc. This commission takes
the place of the railroad commission.
Considerable power is given this
commission, and it is to be exerted
for the protection of the public
against exhorbitant charges, inem-
cient and inadequate service.
Bellingham has been so chastened
by misfortune and muncipal,troubles
that it is really a very agreeable
place to visit. The tradesmen have
become obsequious and appreciative
so attentive and polite that it is
a pleasure to do business with them.
The reformation is SO complete as
to exert a wholesome respect for
the means that brought it about.
Our neighbors are now making a
new start in life with fewer burdens
to carry. And no one doubts that a
greater Bellingham is now possible
and probable. San Juan County is
intimately associated with Belling-
ham in a business way, and we want
her to prosper exceedingly.
The article published in our last
weeks issue relating to schools
brought a good many to us, who
feel that the tragedy of modern life
is the tragedy of the half-educated
man or woman, the tragedy of
those who want to do something
and cannot do anything we'll.
Several have expressed their views
on the move toward lettering school
facilities here and the editor hopes
many others will favor him with
their opinion for publication next
week. What we want is your frank
honest opinion. whether it is for or
against the consolidation suggested
