A vein Of what is declared to be an
excellent quality Of bituminous coal
was discovered Saturday in East We
natchee on the ranch of Mrs. Flora
Mason, by well diggers. The vein
lies about IS feet under ground, and
is 10 inches thick. Further blasting
is being done to determine the exact
nature of the coal. Mrs. Mason used
the coal and found it gave a good
quality of heat and had good burning
qualities. When the Highline canal
was built workmen driving the big
Monitor tunnel discovered small veins
Of coal, but they were too small to
work.

that as a commissioner, sitting in your
state or government Office, with every
thing paid for by some one else, your
mind will broaden and you will feel
fully able to assume control OF the
largest industries and make the rates
and regulate without question the
largest railroad systems of the country.
The beauty OF it all is, if you make
a mistake the other fellow will have to
pay the bill and it will in no way affect
you.
Last but not least you have become
a member of the official aristocrocy of
the country and will undoubtedly hold
a political job the rest of your life.

TOO MANY COMMISSIONS
FURNISH JOBS FOR NEEDY
All the JObIess Men Trying to Gel on the
Government Payroll

This seems to be the day and age
of regulation of all branches OF industry
from the peanut stand to the transcon-
tinental railroad.
Private capital and enterprise is being
driven further and further back into
its hole.
The man with money is afraid to
invest it in an industry for fear of the
different brands Of state and govern
ment regulations which cause the most
optimistic to hesitate.
The most profitable business today
is promoting some new state or gov
eminent commission and getting your
sell appointed or it at much higher
salary than you could earn in any
other way.
The beauty Of promoting and OBJ
tanning a high salaried position on one
of these commissions is that you can
be totally ignorant OF the workings Of
the business you may be appointed to
regulate.
Any money you need to experiment
with may be taken from the taxpayer
and if you run short of your estimate
just ask the Legislature for an increased
appropriation, for the bills must be
paid, and the taxpayer can always
furnish the money.
Another beauty of promoting com
mission is that it employs no laborers
and you do not have to worry about a
big payroll, high taxes, accident insur-
ance and a few dozen other burdens
now imposed upon the employer Of
labor.
Although you may have been a
failure in every line of business you
have ever undertaken, you will find
