0UT-OF-TOWN SHIPMENTS

Manager Sly, of the Fruit & Pro-
duce company, informs us that one
phase of their business for 1911
which gives him much satisfaction
was the large growth of their out-of-
town shipments. The company's
books show a total of 2279 such
orders filled during the past year.
With such a start toward a distri-
buting business of no mean propor.
tions, and with the new distributiye
rates as an added advantage in the
future, it is not improbable that the
company's out-of-town shipments
will soon grow to be the heavy end
Of their business.

L. S. Grassland said that the three
great principles of agriculture were
nitrogen. potash and phosphoric
acid. He is not in favor of the use
of fertilizers strong in nitrogen in
the growing of fancy fruits such as
peaches and strawberries, as they
tend towards making the fruit soft
and so unfit it for long distance ship
ping. He gave some of the maxims
of J. H. Hale, the great peach king,
among which was Potash makes
peaches" and pointed out that
nitrogen was conductive to heavy
plant growth and that in growing
seeds such as corn, the phosphoric
acid was the most valuable basic
element. He thinks barnyard
manure most valua bic when applied

DR.. DUNSTAN TALKS
ON SANE SOCIALISM"
Large Audience at New School Highly
Pleased with Lecture by
Noted Traveller

1t is most gratifying to those who
have the high school lecture course
in charge to report a good crowd in
attendance at the lecture delivered
by DR.. E. Tremayne Dunstan in
the gymnasium of the new high
school, Tuesday evening. DR.. Dun
stan is an Englishman and an ar
dent student of political conditions.
His humorous witticism kept his
audience well entertained while this
detracted nothing from the serious
ness of his message or the occasional
pathos touched upon by the speaker.
He congratulated the people of Ken
newick for their enterprise in secur-
ing such a splendid school building
and stated that it was a credit to
the city noted for it's progressive
spirit.
The speaker traced the growth of
the Australian commonwealth from
it's inception, dating back to par
TALLY developed civilization of a
previous century, up to its present
state of world renowned efficiency.
Features of it's republican form of
government are: A protective tariff
which does not make a few men
rich at the expense of a great num-
Der of people, system of land tax
alton which prevents large areas of
land from being held by land-grab-
bers, highly sensitive public con-
science which keeps the country
safe from the clutches of official
graft; and government ownership
of railroads, the telegraph, etc.
These things. according to the lee
turer, constitute the principles of
Sane Socialism at work."
DR.. Dunstan has been three times
around the world and is familiar
with conditions nearly everywhere
and be says that the great North
west is the land of promise for the
young man with small means and
a wealth of determination to make
good in the fight for a comfortable
living. He commented upon the
lack of abject poverty in the Pacific
coast states. The speaker gave
views decidedly in favor of woman
suffrage and pointed out many
things already accomplished by
woman's vote as cast in Washing
ton

February 3rd, is the date for the
second number of the high school
lecture course which will be given
in the new high school. This en-
tertainment is given by the Robley
Male Quartet and if the lecture
given this week be any indicator as
to the quality of the remaining
numbers offered by the Pacific
Lyceum Bureau. it is likely to be
one of the finest concerts ever given
in the city. The singers are we'll
known in the west and are warmly
recommended by all who have had
the pleasure of listening to them.

IMPROVEMENTS
TO Be HURRIED
O,nck Action on Sewers, Roads
and Walks-Marshall Ellis
Submits Resignation

To get immediate action on every
available improvement for the city,
is the order of the day from the city
council. The sewer work will be
rushed, immediate action taken on
the improvement of the streets, the
side walks planned last fall, and
extension of certain water mains,
will all be undertaken as fast as the
legal machinery can operate.
In the first place, action has been
suspended on the work owing to
lack of data from the city clerks
Office. He has orders to suspend
all other operations until this can
he obtained and he has been allowed
an extra clerk. By the next meet
ing, next Tuesday, he promises to
have everything shipshape. Def
mite information on changing the
sewer plans, to put them in the
alleys, will then be at hand and
final action taken.
The matter of widening and i'm
proving the road to the S. P. & S.
station will have immediate atten-
tention. The old council dallied
with the business and encountered
some opposition from the property
owners, owing, no doubt, to the
lack Of information in regard to
what the council was willing to give
in the way of Improvements in ex-
change for their land. The plans will
be taken up and thoroughly threshed
out and proposition submitted to
them. The work, once the waivers
are secured, will be done Immediate
ly, and by local labor. The present
council express themselves as strong
ly in favor of having every improve
menr done by and for the local peo-
pie.
Now that the weather has moder-
ated, work on the cement walks will
be taken up. Local improvement
ordinance for district No /, has not
yet been passed for the third read
Ing, waiting for remonstrance meet
Ing on the second of February.
The cleaning of the streets and
alleys came in for a share of the
discussion, and at the next meeting
man will be appointed to take care
OF the city's work in that line for
the coming year. A town cleanup
day will likely be named at the time
also.
Inc resignation of Marshal Ellis
was read and not accepted. 1t is
understood that be has secured a
position on the Northern Pacific
poilce force. The mayors appoint
ment OF E. A. Ferrell to fill the va.
cancy was read. The appointment
was laid over.
"A representative of the state aud
lung board was present and ex.
pia'ned the plans for the depart
nien'-to create the same system of

BE ROOSEVELT DELEGATE,

At a meeting of the executive COM
mitee of the Roosevelt League held in
the quarters of the Progressive Repub-
lican Club yesterday afternoon a tele-
gram was received from former Gov
ernor ]. Franklin Fort announcing his
desire to run as one of the candidates
at-large in the interest of Theodore

Ex-Governor Fort is now stamping for

eral satisfaction.
Former Senator William j. Bradley,
who had been named as a candidate

out of the fight by illness in his family.
and in such an exigency it is stated on
good authority that Frank B. Jess,
president of the State Board for Equal
ization of Taxes, will be named as his
successor.
The other two candidates will prob
ably be former Senator Everett Colby
