new MAIN SIRE ET STORE WILL
Be CREDIT TO CITY AND OWNERS
New Clothes Shop viii Be Among the Most
Modern and Up-to-Ddte In the State---
Excellent Appointments Throughout.

With the tearing down of the build
ing shell on Main street, and the con-
struction work on the new building
for the Wardrobe Clothing Company
this week, the south side Of the brsi-
ness district of Valley City takes an
other vast step forward.
The New Wardrobe will be one of
the best and biggest business blocks
in the city when completed, and the
plans for the new structure indicate
that it will be among the very best for
clothing store purposes, one of which
the city may we'll be proud.
There will be frty foot frontage,
solid plated with glass. with doors set
in, in the center, making an excep-
tionally attractive arrangement for
display purposes. The sidewalks will
be raised, and tiled, and a show case
will be placed in front Of the entrances
to be used for special displays.
The interior of the new store will be
handsomely decorated, and there will
be new furniture and fixtures through
out, giving it an up-to-date appearance
which will vie with the appointments
of any similar business house in the
state.
That the Marquisees, proprietors of
the new store, have unlimited conf
dence in the future of Valley City and
their section of the business district
is indicated by the fact that they have
taken fifteen year lease on the prop
erty, beginning December first, when
they expect to have it ready for occu-

what the railroads say is coming to
them.
Here is one opinion from the Baltj-
more Sun:
By reason of their general good be-
havior III the last few years the roads
have created a public sentiment that
will insure them a fair hearing and
an unbiased consideration Of their
plea. No one nowadays is disposed 10
deny their right to fair share in the
prosperity of the country.
And here is another from the Bufta-
10 Times:
The railroad managers are speaking
plainly and apparently honestly on
this subject. They present the prop
ositiOn that, if expenses are to be al
vanced they must be permitted to ad-
vance rates. The facts behind the
agreement are impressing the public
mind and causing the sentiment to
bear with good humor whatever COM
pensatory advance of rates may be
necessary.

Ill apple orchard lands should be

endure for great length of
time with stagnant water either on the
surface or within the soil. All surplus
water from excessive rainfall or from
other causes should be promptly re-
moved by either surface or subdrain-

II the natural formation of the land
does not afford such prompt drainage
1t must be provided artificially. Sur
face bitches or burrows between the
rows OF trees may afford temporary
drainage. but they are Objectionable
on other accounts that will be appar-
ent. for an orchard thus drained will
be difficult to get over in its necessary
care and in gathering and handling
the fruit. Undertakings is far better
on these accounts. Besides, 1t is much
more thorough. especially If accom-
plished by means of well laid tile.
Temporary Drainage.
A thorough breaking up of the sub.
soil will afford temporary drainage in
a stiff clay soil. but in few years the
soil will again become compacted.

(Snohomish Country Tribune)
Here are two opinions, chosen from
many, rejecting the general sentiment
of the press with regard to the claim
of the railroads that advance in rates
in certain lines is necessary to keep
them financially above board. One of
the roads, the ST. Louis 4 San Fran
cisco, has already gone into the hands
of receiver. At the last hearing.
when the interstate commerce commits
sion refused to grant an increase in
rates on the theory that business with

address Congress in person and veto
legislation. For all these things
combine to force the president to be
"a person whose business it is to pro
mote or prevent egislation''-which is
Senator Townsend's very broad and
vague definition of lobbyist. A pres
ident of the United States who didn't
promote or prevent legislation would
be fit subject for glass case.
Worse Than the Lobby.
(New York WORLDLY
The investigation of the lobby at
Washington has revealed something
worse than a lobby. 1t has shown
that there are members of the United
States senate who are financially in
terested in the pending tariff bill. 1t
has shown that they intend to speak
and vote upon the subject.
Whatever else may be said against
lobbyist, he cannot be accused of be-
traying a public trust. He does not
promote the greed of individuals who
profess to serve the people. He is pre-
cisely what he appears to be, an agent
of self-seekers, and those whom he adj
dresses secretly or openly may az
cept his arguments or reject them, as
they please.
A senator who has pecuniarv
stake in the legislation that he is for
warding Is like a judge who should
try case involving his own fame or
fortune. He is like juror who should
assume to pass upon the guilt or inno-
cence of relative or partner. He is
like an arbiter or referee who should
undertake the adjustment of a contro-
versy to which he was party.
Lister and Good Roads.
spokesman Review)
One need not be an enthusiast over
good roads, though every good citizen
should be an enthusiast, to appreciate
the governors work 1t speaks for it..
self as an evidence of Mr.. Listers
practical interest in the betterment OF
all the conditions and factors Oh
which depends the sound progress of
Washington.
The governors course gives official
expression to the statewide interest in
good roads that has come to prevail
among all classes of citizens. The
great majority Of them now realize
that improved highways between
farms and markets form an indispen-
sable requisite in the economic devel-
opment of the state. The few who do
not will have the truth impressed on
them emphatically through the gov
ernor making personal survey of the
situation in the state as to roads.
All of us recognize the wisdom in
his preference for being the governor
of commonwealth with we'll devel-
oped farms and roads to being the
chief executive of state that had two
or three of the largest cities in the ma
ton. His trips and his talks have
educational and economic value.
Maybe This IL So.
(Chehalis Bee-Nugget.)
1t will be recalled that some months
ago Governor Lister almost caused a
bunch of Seattle Democrats to have
heart failure by telling them that his
would not spoils administration
that there would be no spoils. Judging
from the fact that about eight out OF
nine of his appointments thus far have
been given to Tacoma men and the
jobs have been going fast and furious,
the governor apparently meant that
his declaration applied to the state of
Washington outside Tacoma and
Pierce county.

(Tacoma Progressive Democracy
There Is one man in the governor
cabinet that will be untold strength or
untold weakness and that is the COM
missioner of agriculture. This posi-
ton has to do with most every interest
in the state. Experts from this de-
partment will examine your milk,
meat, bread, and for that matter, ev-
erything one consumes. They will in
spect your ell, examine your fruit
trees and try to tell you what you need
on your soil. In fact, the agricultural
department will have a finger into
most everyone's pocket. If they can
show the people that they are getting
the worth of their money, then that de-
partment will be source of strength.
but, if on the other hand, the experts
do not satisfy the people, then there
will be much criticism.

The Pacific Telegraph & Telephone
company has again filed it's proposed
''air line" telephone tariff rates with
the public service commission. 1t is
the same proposition filed twice before
and prevented from operation by pub.
lie protest. If allowed to become eff
fective it will increase long distance
phone rates to nearly double what
they have been. 1t is called "air line"
and the impression created is that
service rendered is to be on horizon
tai plane, but the increased cost indi-
Gates that it is straight up.
This same proposal has been before
the public service commission twice
before this and withdrawn both times
from protest. This has taken time,
and during the time taken the Sunset
Telephone company has worked its
gouge to the limit. 1t is up again;
this will take time again, and means
continued gouge again.
People are beginning to wonder
whether the public service commission
was created to play boss with corpora
tions which use time to skin the peo-
pie or whether it's function is to fix
reasonable and permanent rates for
services rendered by corporations.
