THE LOCAL LIGHT SITUATION.

Plain facts to the situation in which the cit,
finds itself as to finances and income for the pres
cnt and coming year, showing exactly what it ha,
to spend for lighting the city are set forth in the
statement issued by Mayor hoffman the fore part
of this week, wherein the position and viewpoint
of the city administration on this question are ex-
picity set forth. Granting that this statement IF
facts is correct-and there can be no assumption
other than that the city administration is telling
the truth--t would seem to us that the best way
out of the difficulty the best solution of the sitla-
ton, would be for both parties to the controversy
to get together on common basis and agree
just what can be done.
Given a certain basis upon which the city must
negotiate, the sensible thing to do, it would seem,
would be to recognize that basis and act accord
ingly rather than to waste a lot of effort 'chew-
ing the rag which accomplishes nothing. On
the face of things, it would appear that the pres
ent light and power company, already engaged in
business here, already having distributing sys-
TEN with which to light the city and heretofore
engaged in furnishing that service could make
the city better proposition than some outsider.
Whether the company is disposed to do this
not, we do not know.
What is going to happen with regard to the local
lighting situation will be known after the city
council opens whatever bids offered in re-
Spouse to it's advertisement, at the council meet
ing next Wednesday night. 1t may be that it will
develop then that the local company, realizing the
city's financial situation, will make an offer
cordingly; it may be that as the result of the
city s acceptance of another bid, it will find
pettor in the field, or it may be that, themayor
suggested in his communication this week, the
city administration will decide to condemn and
acquire its property; that whatever the out
come, it would seem that the principal respon-
sibility for it will rest upon the local company.
This is the situation as we see it. We appre-
ciate that it may not be pleasant for concern to
be compelled to relinquish part of what has
heretofore been lucrative business, but we also
think that it would be better to take that than
nothing, when by taking nothing that concern in
vites competition The local company has been
and is enjoying valuable franchise from the
city without the usual gross earnings tax; its
best interests demand that it protect that fran
chise and the present situation offers it an
admirable way to do it, when by SO doing it not
only benefits itself but the city.

THE ART OF MAKING ENEMIES

Kansas City recently voted $450,OOO for the
widening of certain thoroughfare. Thirteen
railroads, the stockyards company and some other
property owners affected are actively opposing
the Improvement, and this prompts a Boston
newspaper to remark: 1s4
At the most they can only postpone it, They
know this, but they are following out practice
that has become traditional among large property
owners of certain sort, and especially among
corporations. The thought that seems to guide
the latter in such cases is that they should not
join in civic Improvement at all SO long as they
can avoid it, and that when at last they are CON-
PEELED to do their part they must do it with the
worst grace possible. In the present instance, as
in many similar cases in the past, they are re-
minded that in taking this course they are simply
practicing the gentle art of making enemies. A
little later some if not all, of them will be won
dering, as usual, why the public is not their
friend" ssllamn3 ~ sH a1 'n1gfd
y This truth has come home to many big prop
erty owners and corporations in the last few
years They are coming to realize that they and
the city, the people Of the city, have great many
more things in common than they previously
would admit and, in that realization, have discov-
cred that the policy Of "give-and- take accom-
plishes much. Most of our private business
affairs completed through negotiation and
agreement; there is no good reason why the same
policy should not be applied to transactions of
public or sempublic nature.

THE FOURTH or JULY.

The Star Spangled Banner stands for more
than it has ever stood for in the eyes Of the
world, = says the Tacoma New Herald, ''and it
stands for than it has ever stood for in the
eyes Of the American people, and this fact should
be brought into prominence in our great national
holiday"
Greater significance is attached to the forth.
coming celebration, in the opinion of this news
paper, than Of any for long period and the
striking feature Of this opinion expressed by
Republican newspaper is that it is based upon the
primal points in President Wilson's policy. 'Were
we jealous of the standing Of any other power -
it says, s'were ambitious for the acquisition of
territory, we would undoubtedly have long since
seized the opportunity to take advantage of the
distressed plight of our neighbors and endeavored
to have struck blow or to have expanded our
possessions by force. That we have sought rather
to stay the hand of the grim reaper, far as pos
sibe, to interfere only to ameiorate conditions in
behalf of humanity, is recognized by the beliger-
ents and our standing and influence have been
enhanced in consequence"
Next Sunday is the Fourth of July, Monday is
the official holiday. In the present great interna
tional crisis it is Of increasing Importance to us
to demonstrate to the world, not so much with
ArecFackers and gunpowder as with great ex-
preston of confidence and union, that we are
patriotic nation, having ideals and proposing
TO maintain them. Let us forcibly show them, in

TALL BUILDINGS -AND TALL SMOKE
STACKS

What the Pacific Northwest needs, what the
cities of Puget Sound need is fewer tall buildings
and more tall smOkestacks in the opinion of Will
lam Pigott, president of one of Seattle's largest
businesses, the Seattle Car 4 Foundry company
according to statements attributed to him in a
recent interview. In other words, as he views it,
this section of the country needs to pay less atten
ton to real estate and more to industrial enter
Trises, needs to put its money to developing bust
ness and incidentally, Mr.. Pigott says wants to
forget the idea that Eastern capital is going to
help in any great amount and to push ahead by
investing its own money.
In that phrase, ''many tall buildings but no
tall smokestacks,' Mr. Pigott has coined what is
likely to become popular and apt expression for
all those seeking an epitomizng description of the
business situation in this section. The phrase, as
we alike it, is not intended as knock at the
real estate business, but is meant to be just ex-
actly what it is-a jolt to wake us up to the fact
that what we need now more than real estate de-
velopment is industrial development We have
pushed our real estate business ahead, put
money and our energy into it and got it to
highly developed state; what we must do now is
to develop that class of business which will keep
real estate where it is and, making our business
interests more diversified and less dependent on
one kind, will continue to keep real estate moving
The real estate men of this section have been
some Of its greatest boosters, but big part of
that boosting has come back to them in dollars
and cents They have advertised this section
widely, brought hundreds and thousands of people
here to live and have urged it right on and ahead
and there is no measure Of criticism or ''knock.
ing in the statement that they have got it far
ahead that it is high time they stopped for awhile
and gave us chance to catch up with them indus
trially. Then they can 60 on again to bigger,
more substantial development. ns Il
We have an idea that most thinking people,
after even the most hasty survey Of the general
business situation in the Pacific Northwest, will
agree with Mr.. Pigott's views, set forth in an
other column in this issue and neatly expressed
in this particular phrase, many tall buildings
but no tall smokestacks." Too much Of our
mi rey goes back East in interest charges and in
payment for supplies, materials and goods Of all
kinds, all because we have not assisted our indus
trial development as we should. Let us realize
this situation now and in the present times lay
the foundation for the growth that is certain to
come shortly. tsa t

His countrymen have watched President Will

The COW bell nuisance-we can't

DON'T KNOW WHERE
 THEY ARE F|GHTN|NG

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 PARIS, March 5-How little some soldiers know of the operations in which they take part is shown by the case of Private Morin, of Melun, who recently returned home with several wounds.
 Where were you fightlng?" he was asked.
 q don't know"
 You don't know in what part of the country you were when you were wounded?"
 No. At the time of mobilization was sent to Bourges. We were loaded into a train. We rode for two days, then marched a day. Then the cannon began to thunder around us. The first day received a bullet in the thigh, the second day another went through my calf; neither did me any harm, but the third day they caught me in the head. After lying few hours I was picked up, my wounds dressed, then loaded into a train.
 "Enroute a surgeon asked me where came from. From Melun' says I. Really says he. well, here we are precisely at Melun. You may get out here, they'll look after you better than anywhere else. And here I am.
 When I get well I suppose I'll go back to where I came from, but where that is I do not know"

MONEY MARKET IS
 EASY IN AUSTRIA

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 VIENNA, March 10-In the official reports issued by the City of Vienna as to conditions there during the war time, 1t is pointed out that Germany and Austro- Hungary through the war have suffered economically no more than the Allies and the neutral pow CTS. As a proof thereof the fact is given that the savings bank deposits in 1914 decreased only 27,OO00OO crowns and that the money market continues extraordinarily easy. The supply of foodstuffs during January in general was sufficient although var ious articles of necessity showed an increase in price. Only the flour sit uation has not improved owing to the existing high prices for wheat and flour in Vienna and other communi- ties. The City of Vienna, therefore, has secured a large quantity of corn for the needs of the Viennese popu- lation, and in order to have this un- popular article of food meet more easily with a favorable reception by the population, recipes for the use of corn flour are printed on the reverse side of street car tickets and in such other manner as seems appropriate.
 There was no shortage of meat dur ing January. The supply of meat was even greater than usual, consid- ering the demands of the canning fac tories working for the military. The most important articles of food for January show relatively unimportant price increases as compared with Jan uary of last year.

WAR MANEUVERS AT. ENTRANCE
 OF CANAL

tBy Associated Press Correspondepce)
 PANAMA, March 10--Two units or
 the submarine fleet stationed in Pan.
 anna Canal waters in conjunction with
 the coast artillery corps have just
 completed a series of war maneuvers
 at the Pacific entrance of the canal
 with the view of testing the eGic
 iency of the shore batteries on the
 fortified islands. The two subma-
 rines and the mine layer General J. M. Schofeld, which lowed A number of barges, were supposed to repre. sent hostile fleet in an attempt to run past the shore batteries and to evade the mine field that had been planted as an additional safeguard
 The approach of the hostile fleet was observed from the land forts by means of huge -searchlights which have already been placed in position. The submarines, however, succeeded in reaching the vicinity of the forts unobserved, and are technically SUD posed to have made 1t uncomfortable for the batteries. Part of the hos tile fleet was destroyed" by the n nes over which it passed, the mines being discharged from the batteries when the ships were directly over them.
 Immediately after the arrival here of Brig. General Clarence R. Edwards U. s. A., who commands the Panama Canal troops, much activity began to be displayed in military matters. Al number of practice hikes into the in- terior have been made and others are contemplated for the purpose of fa. miliarizihg the infantry regiments with the surrounding country. It is now planned to send complete regi ment with full equipment through the Jungle on long hike into the Chiriqui country along the Pacific coast.
 The maneuvers undertaken recent. ly by the coast artillery and the sub. marines were for the purpose of dem. onstrating the efficiency of the forts and to ascertain what additional for tiflcations and Armament will be need. | ed so that proper recommendations may be made to the Notifications board when it comes to the canal zone some time next month. It is said that already a number of vital changes will be recommended.
 It is anticipated that when Major General Leonard A. Wood, U. S. A.. commander of the department of the East, arrives in the canal zone. he will have placed before him several plans for the housing of the large mum. Der of soldiers that will be stationed On the canal. The most important or these will be the detailed plan for the permanent military post where the three infantry regiments will be stationed.
