PUBLICITY FOR COAST
N,u scheme fakes in i'eteS From VAN
cuU,rr tc Lowcr California.

san FRANCISCO, May 9.--The
whole Pacific Coast is to be joined to-
gether in one stupendous publicity
scheme to make the western edge of
the United States the playground Of
tie world. This is the result of the
formation of the California Ce'ebra-
tons committee at Santa Barbara, C.!
by a gathering of railroad, hotel and
newspaper men and members of civic
bodies.
This publicity is to be provided by
the railroads which have their termni
az Pacific tidewater. They are more
than anxious to spread the fame of the
great out-of-doors of this Coast, pro-
,ided the various states provide the en-
tertainment for the tourists. Such
means We're decided on by the confer
ence in the shape of a string of car
nivals extending from the Canadian
line to the Mexican border.
1t is the intention to have Seattle's
great Potlatch celebration and Port
lands famed rose carnival made i'm
portant links of the great chain of eel
ebrations. Originally called as a con-
ference to consider only the standard
ization" of CALIFORNIA; festivals, the
plans quickly brOadened out to take in
the whole Coast region, through CO.
operation and reciprocity with the Pa
cific Coast Festivals association.
Thus the tourist coming to this Coast
at any time of the year will always find
something doing to make tim epass

First I Per Cent. Gross Earnings Inv
Is Paid by Water Company.

Pursuant to the stipulations of the
franchise recently granted Wilbur r.
Foshay, Manager Harmony of the
Olympia Water Works Wednesday paid
the city of Olympia $1O217 as 4 per
per cent. of $2554.23, the total cash
collected by the company for service
furnished patrons during the month of
April.
If the business of the company con.
tinues as large each month during the
year as this first month under the new
franchise, the city will derive at least
$1,000 a year revenue from this new
franchise, source of income it prev.
iously did not have.
The company's reservoir was entirely
renovated this week and a new r.
inch pumping main was connected to
the reservoir opposite the outlet pipe,
so that the water now runs on a flow
ing circuit instead of the former dead
end" keeping it in constant motion so
there will be no stagnatiOn.

Lo and he cometh the bride of the
primary and the handmaiden of legis-
lation. A symphony in crimson, a
study in red, a pink pastel, as condi-
tions of light and shade shall deter
mine. Jim Ham Lewis will decorate
and ornament the senatorial halls as
the chosen of Illinois and the admired
of the whole nation.
Jim Ham comes to Washington al
ready famous, already acquainted with
the things beneath the dome and on
terms of intimacy with the require
ments of senatorial life. Officially he
came first to the capitol in 1897, Pop
tulist of the Puget Sound brand. Sock
less Jerry Simpson and PETER of the
Whisker were his party associates, and
what they lacked in sartorial knowl-
edge and display he brought in Sc
ries of trunks and luggage that startled
the baggage men and crowded the sta
ton.
Clad in whiskers that epitomized the
glory of the salmon of his home waters,
CARRIED in clothing which from spats to
topper was one perpendicular glory, he
took the oath of Office alone and un-
compared.
Now as Democrat he comes again.
But the change of party has not dim
med the luster of his garb nor married
the peach blow glory of his unbarbered
countenance. The halls that babe fair
to be dull and the days that seemed
bare of the hope anything not prosaic
shall be filled with his presence and
overflow with his wisdom. The win
dows of Democracy shall glisten and
the doors of the halls thereof shall be
as of shining brass. There shall be no
weeping except for Joy and no crying
except of adulation. Everybody will
like him and we predict that Illinois
will be most ably represented.
