Our Electrical Districts

What may be called the first electrical energy district has been organized The farmers ilVlng north and east of the city have agreed, almost to a man: at least ten that they want to ap- ply the electricity made possible by the Roosevelt project to the purpose for which it was generated to serve the people who pay for it, the farmers ana their families It will not be long now before the wires have been strung through that district ana electricity will be multitude of tasks, ln- door and out Tightening the abors of the house. hold as well as the farm, affordng the luxures of existence at less than has been paid for necessities
 If will be remembered that when the subject of mower in connection with the Roosevelt project was first preached there dream of the time when every house in the valley would be lighted by electricity; when farm machinery within and without the house would be electrically driven But the dream could have been as wonderful as the reality may be Inventive genius has been busy since we dreamed We have many appliances and uses for electricity that did not have then Within a short time, hope that all of them may be found in every farm house. They can be as easily installed there in the town home.

Delay

Decays, said Dad, are dangerous, and apt to work much harm" Twas in the days when grang- erous, We lived upon the farm. So always hurrylng to get things done eftsoons the blowing and the currylng, the harvesting and pruneS. We did our work kerwhoopingy. and gained the silver buck, while other farmers droopnglv complained of evil luck. When storms up a-thundering we did not darn; they never caught us bun- dering-our hay in the barn: when rivers rose amazn'ly oerflowing banks and bed we viewed the blamed things braZenly-our wood was in the shed. The elements might clammily spread snow throughout the land they not catch our fam fly without some coal on hand. The lessons learned thus youthfully have served all my days and I can tell you truthfully that Up and Do It" pays Delays are surely ruinous; let's do things the jump, or Fate will be shooin toward the bawsted dump.

 The Curious Conscience
 That the thing called conscience sometimes gives it's admonitions in an eccentric manner, perhaps rather they received a perverted form, is demonstrated by the confession of two young burglars to the policemen who arrested them in New York. They claimed that they had mitted robbery every day for the past six month, barring Sundays. When asked why they suspended work that day, they explained that they garded Sunday a day of and attended church. They also pleaded in their behalf that they conducted their business decently accord with their conscience
 Whenever their punder found consist articles used religious purposes, they in rariably threw them away, it would be wicked sell them Just why articles should be thrown away instead or being placed where the owners could recover them. explained by these bandits who scrupuloUs in their attend church. Fortunately their religious wei fare, chapels maintained in Sing Sing prison, and these will have little opportunity, for d time least. yield the weakness of throwing away valuable plunder.
 This is by isolated of eccentric conscience. Almost every day across something like it.

A Word to Correspondent

The Republican has received from a valued subscriber Winkelman communication con- tainng criticism which we welcome inasmuch as it affords opportunity to make clear again. the position of The Republican inde pendent newspaper. The criticism is directed especially against observations by The Republican on our governments Mexican policy which the writer does not believe is evidence of good will toward the administration and is, therefore, inconsistent with the profession of The Republican to be an independent newspaper.
 The question raised therefore by the respondent is not the governments Mexican policy the relation between The Repub lican and the administration The Republican. of course is a democratic administration newspaper but the correspondent must have noted the general friendliness of The Republican toward the administration and that it has been in accord with most of the public of President Wilson. It regards him as an honest and great man. one who has accomplished much in the direction of progressive legislation. He is in fact, the handspring of all the many excellent things that have been done He is greater than his party notwithstanding there is frequently uttered be- lief of politicians that man can be greater than his party.
 \ Mir Wilson has been bound by his party's declarations except insofar he has believed them to be right He has fearessly dsregarded them when he has believed them to be wrong
 But if The Republican has frequently been in accord with the policies of the president it could not as independent newspaper be in accord with all of them and endorse all of them except by a miracle which has never happened, that two men of independent thought could agree perfectly upon all of a great number unrelated topics.
 The Republican newspaper which has no utilization with the party which President Will son belongs has felt liberty to express approval of many most his public acts It has also felt at liberty criticse other acts and policies While in accord general tariff policy, it did not believe that the method of enforcing it was scien-
 fic and was therefore unjust. It was right for The Republican as an independent newspaper to voice it's objection and we believe it right for The Republican to express it's belief that the Mexican policy of this government is hesitant, uncertain, inconsistent and unpromisng of being in any way contributory the restoration of order in Mexico
 Concluding might add that The Republican does not yield to our correspondent in it's admin istration of the honesty purpose and the great ness of achievement of president.

 Probably it would not have been offered then if his brethren the senate had not known in ad- vance that he would sacrifice it. The men who tried to call up the resolution then were known to be unfriendly to it but they trusted to the strong desire of the Arizona senator to be heard.

ELECTRIC PUMPING FOR IRRIGATION

For some years the electrical transmission sys- tems in the arid portions of the known to the ancient geographries the Great American Des- ert have been connecting up number of motors driving pumps used for irrigation purposes. This great American desert turns to garden if properly supplied with water, and while the irrigation panies and the government have done enormous work for betterment, there sections in which natural flow of is difficult to find. In these cases cheap electricity comes to the rescue to the benefit of all concerned By this means, water De pumped from the rivers at a low enough cost to make it economical for irrigation purposes and the electric transmission companies obtain very welcome type of customer In the first place pumping is a wonderfully steady load, and in the second place the induction motors almost universal ly used for pumping very desirable on d big transmission system, for engineering reasons.

HONESTY OF BASEBALL
 AGAIN DEMONSTRATED

The total receipts of S226.7Ss from the four games of the Worlds Series, and the handsome bonuses paid to the players of both the winning and losing team. strlklngly illustrates the nancial proportions to which the na. tlonal ghme has grown. But this years series has done more than show the money there is in It." It has vindlcated the honesty of the game itself, in spite of the conner cialism of its management.
 To have prolonged the contest through seven games, with the cham pionshlp hanging in the balance to the end, would have been worth at least S1O0,O00 to the owners. AS it is, they have profted little, If at all, from the shorter series because of the heavier expenses. Where they will gain will be in the more favor able attitude of the public toward baseball as a result of the demonstra- ton that games are decided on their merits and without suspicion of 'jockeying" with view to larger gate receipts.-(New York World.)

METLAKAHTLA IS
 PROGRESSING NOW

W. c. Beattle, superintendent of In- dian schools for Southeastern Alaska has inst returned from Q trip of in- snection to Metlakahtla, the largest Indian town in Alaska. Metlakahtla now has a population of between 6OOI and 700 nativeN Indians, who are Q thrifty and progressive people, aspir- ing to greater advance in the scale of human endeayor.
 A part of MT. Beattie's mission tol NetlaIahtla was in connection with the proposed new government school building for that place which is about to be realized. Speaking of the mat ter, NIT. Beattie said:
 "The government school at Metla- kahtla now has an enrollment of 15OI pupils, and indications are that this enrolment will be increased to 200 in n short time. As there are only four teachers employed at Metlakahtla at the present time, a request has gone forward to the Commissioner of Education to add another teacher to the faculty of this growing school.
 "The secretary of the Interior has set apart a piece of ground 400 feet by S76 feet, for the use of the Bureau of Education as location for school buildings, gardens, and teachers quar- ters. and whatever else may be nee essary in the development of edu- cational work in the Annette Island Reserve. He has authorized the cree. ton of a school building containing class rooms for regular school work, manual training shop, rooms for classes in domestic science and art and q small gymnasium which will also be used as an assembly room.
 An architect is now at work on these plans and hopes to have them completed so that work on the build ing may begiu>in the near future.
 "At present hall belonging to the Metlakahtla Benevolent Society and an old store building are being utiliz- ed as schoolrooms.
 "The native people of the town are enthusiastic over the government school and speak highly of its work: For long time they have been anx- ious that the government carry on this work and that MT. Duncan devote his whole time and energies to the church and it's activities. They feel now that their hopes are being real ized and many of the natives who have for number of years lived in Ketchikan or other localities are this year returning to Metlakahtla to make that place their permanent home.
 "The town council now have charge of the water system and they are dis cuSsing plans for the extension of the water supply into regular town wa ter system.
 "They have recently installed num- Der of gasoline street lights which have added much to the convenience of the people and to the appearance of the town at night"
