Keep o.. Smiling.

There Is no room for sadness,
When you give q smile
It nerves you up to try again;
It's never out Of style.
A smiling face gives courage
When failure makes you blue;
It drives away the clouds Of gloom
A smile is good for you.
A smile comes very easy
A hundred times q day.
Now practice it : week or two.
And try without delay

IRRIGATIONIsTs WIN POINT
Northwest Electric Will Abandon
Klickitat Project

Olympia = Because OF the attacks
made on the Northwestern Electric
company in drastic bills before the
Washington legislature, the company
has abandoned the Klickitat river part
of it's power-generating system. This
was made known here by w. S. Years
lev, owner of the riparian rights on
the Klickitat, which the Northwestern
company had taken over on an option.
Mr.. Yearsley says the option has been
cancelled and the rights have been
offered to the Horse Heaven irrigation
project promoters for $175,00 The
price asked covers the value of the
land and the water holdings of Mr..
Yearsley and the improvements put in
by the Northwestern company.
The abandonment of the Klickitat is
to be offered as a compromise plan in
the legislature on the bill now pend
ing, which, if passed, would GUST the
company from both the Klickitat and
the White Salmon rivers. Mr.. Years
ley says the Klickitat rights will be
turned over to the irrigationists pro-
vided they will abandon their endeavor
to tie up the White Salmon part of the
project.

PENSION PUT UP TO VOTERS
Teachers Bill Is Passed, Then Re-
ferred to People.

Olympia-By an overwhelming vote
the senate of the Washington legis-
lature passed a bill providing a pen
sion system for school teachers. With
the same stroke the members invoked
the referendum on the measure, send
ing it to the vote Of the people.
While the senate was busy with the
teachers pension question, the house
quietly passed by overwhelming vote
a bill providing for the pensioning of
destitute mothers and passed to sec
ond reading measure for the pen
sioning of judges.
The teachers pension bill stirred up
the first real bitter fight of the session
for the senate. For more than five
hours the chamber was in an uproar.
Personalities were flung, vehement
pleas for the 'overburdened'' taxpay-
er were made, members attacked the
system as an outrage on the people,
others upheld it as the crying need and
nearly every member took occasion to
explain at more or less length his atti-
tude for the benefit of the gallery,
which was crowded with school teach

REBELS ROB EXPRESS TRAIL
500, 600 Bank Shipment Taken
Cities Sacked.

San Luis Potosi, Mex.-A passenger
train from Tampico, Mexico, was held
up at Las Tablas, a small station halt
way to the coast, by band of rebels
led by Cerillo Hermanos. The rebels
went through the express car and Sc
cured 100000 in gold and bills which

Bank of Monterey to Mexico City,
The rebels gave no heed to the
second class passengers, but robbed all
the first-class passengers of their arms
and money. Forty-two rebels entered
the train and 80 remained outside.
They proposed to burn the train and
had sprinkled the cars with petroleum
but the urgent petition of Liccenado
Alfredo Munoz, who was a passenger
and who at one time had defended her
manos in court, they desisted.

Lister Uses Veto Power.

Olympia Despite the fact that both
houses OF the Washington legislature
voted overwhelmingly to appropriate
$500, 600 for the erection of new buid-
lngs at the Cheney normal school to
replace those burned year ago, Gov
ernor Lister vetoed the bill on the
ground that the Cheney schools place
should be taken by the other two state
normal schools.
This the first time the governor has
exercised his veto power and the first
time he has attempted to carry out the
economy program upon which he based
his candidacy for governor.

BLOW HITS WATER COMPANY
Proposes to Prohibit Sale of Cur
rent Outside of State.

Olympia-Bills in the Washington
Legislature to prohibit the sale of
power generated in Washington in any
other state, supposed to have been
aimed at the Washington Water Power
company, of Spokane, were found at a
hearing to be directed primarily at the
Klickitat River part of the Northwest
Electric company's power generating
system which is to furnish power to
Portland.
The bills as originally presented
were defeated so far as the committee
is concerned, and it is believed they
will find no support in the house or
senate.
A sub-measure has been taken I'M
der consideration, however, and may
be Endorsed by the committee. It pro-
vides against the sale in another state
of power generated here excepting by
companies which are supplying inter-
state service or before March 1. The
White Salmon plant of the Northwest
ern company now under construction
will not be in operation by March /.
The bills are believed to be the out
come of troubles experienced in the
Klickitat River country between the
power interests which seek to convert
the Klickitat river into power gener-
ating medium, and the farming inter-
ests which seek to convert the water
into an irrigation system which would
benefit between 800, and 500, 900
acres of land in the Horse Heaven
country.

GOOD ROADS WIN IN SENATE
Only Five Vote Against Measure
Vancouver Bridge Next.

OLYMPIA - Good roads legislation
had it's first inning in the senate OF
the Washington legislature Friday ana
won hands down.
After three hours of fighting con-
tending forces, which deadlocked the
session of 1911 and threatened 10
deadlock the present session, were
brought together on a suitable work
mo basis and all joined hands IN the
general cause of good roads through
out the state.
The house bill providing for 81, O0O,-
oOO annual increase in the taxes for
the state highway fund was passed
with only five dissenting votes. The
hill is the first good roads measure to
be passed by both houses since 1909.
At present there is no bill before
the legislature providing for an appro-
nriation for the Vancouver bridge.
The only measure pending is the
bridge enabling act, which has passed
the house and is now awaiting the ac-
ton of the senate. The bridge appro-
priation question is expected to make
its debut next week.
It is likely that the legislature will
90 on record as opposing the altera-
ton of the channel at the mouth of
the Columbia river near Fort Candy
because of the fact that the improve
ment will result in the moving of the
Oregon Washington boundary line a
mile north on Washington territory.
Memorials asking congress to diseon-
tinue the changing of the channel
were introduced in both houses. They
ask that the dredging from Sand Is
land to Fort Candy be discontinued
and that boats carrying supplies fer
the strengthening of the jetty be re-
quired to use the Maybury channel.
