1000 BUSINESS MEN
FOR CONSTITUTION
Ex-Secretary Stimson and Judge
O'Brien Address Merchants
Association at Luncheon.

More than a thousand business men
anplauded the exposition Of the pro-
nosed constitution by two who had
large part in its making-Henry L.
Stimson. former Secretary Of War, and
ex-Justice Morgan J. o'Brien Of the
supreme Court-at the luncheon OF the
Merchants Association at the Hotel
Aston yesterday.
The relation Of the proposed organic
law Of the state TO business was the
subject Of the speakers. Mr.. Srmson
explained how the scientific budget
plan and the short ballot would result
in greater efficiency and economy in
the state government. and how millions
would be saved in the building Of pub
lie works by the issuance of serial
bonds instead Of the present long-term
bonds
Mr.. O'Brien, one Of the Democratic
leaders Of the convention, said that
with the exception Of the question OF
spportionment the deliberations of the
Ot4tkctcS Ntit uSNOIu VI pal 1AoeA 4SSt-
ings.
"The Democrats. in the minority
presented their views on the great
fundamental questions of government
continued Judge O'Brien, "and they
took part in the framing of some Of
these prominent reform proposals, es-
pecially the executive budget, the home
rule feature and the short ballot which
last we were committed TO by the Dem
ocratic platform.
"The proposed constitution was
started on business principles and was
built upon the theory Of helping and
lettering the conditions in the state
and feel confident that If you will
aid in attracting attention 10 thf
merits Of this instrument you will sue
coed in giving the state a set of or
ganic laws worthy of the state. anC
one Of the best instruments for the ad-
ministration Of public affairs that is
enjoyed by any state in the Union"
William Hamlin Childs, who pre-.
sided. said that if the proposed consti-
tuition was rejected there was not 3
chance in fifty that there would be
another convention in 1917, as thu
question Of holding a convention would
be submitted TO the voters in 1916 and
would probably be lost sight Of in the
excitement of a Presidential campaign

Buffalo. Oct. 2o.-The time is ripe for

Europe "to release to the sovereignty

Mr.. Sheriff., whose subject was "Buf-

Americanism," did not make il entirel y
clear whether he would include Canada
in the bargaining for independence,
saying only:

Giving Him Good Advice


The following story is told OF q
widely known advocate. When Gen.
Beck was young lawyer, man who
was arraigned for murder had no
counsel.
"Mr. Beck" said the presiding
Judge. "Take the prisoner into that
room at the rear of the court, hear his
story and give him the best advice
you can"
Accordingly Beck disappeared with
the prisoner and in half an hours time
returned into court-alone.
"Where is the prisoner" asked the
Judge.
aWell," said Beck slowly, II heard
his story and then I gave him the best
advice I could. I said: Prisoner, II
were you, I'd get out Of that window
and make tracks He slid down the
water pipe and the last ! saw OF nm
he was getting over stone fence hall
a mile away"

BUSINESS ACTIVITY
SHOWN BY RECORDS
Insurance Commission Lists 383
New Employers During the
Month of October

A notable resumption of business
activity in Washington is indicated
by the October statement of the in
dustrial insurance commission, which
shows 383 new employers, firms or in
dividuals, listed during that month.
From the rate at which new employ
ers' accounts have come in during the
early days of November, it is likely
that the record for this month will
beat October, although work ordin-
arily falls off as winter approaches.
During the fiscal year ending Sep
TENDER 80, the department listed an
average of 258 new employers q
month. The fact that several new
industries were taken under the act,
however, explained considerable por-
ton of the increase during the year.
This is not the case with the 1913 new
employers listed during October. A
considerable number are engaged in
logging enterprises.
Annual reports for the year ending
June 80, 1915, filed by the Northern
Pacific, O-W. R. & N. and S., P. & s.
railroads with the public service com.
mission, indicate falling off of about
ten per cent in gross revenues during
the year, operating expenses being re-
duced, however, in most cases, so that
the actual net income of the railroad:
shows little decrease.

FORTY THOUSAND
MILES OF ROAD
Washington Has Enough State
Highways to Nearly Circle
the Globe Twice


The most accurate statistics yet
compiled in regard to Washington
roads, just completed by the state
highway department, show total Of
42,529 miles Of officially located roads
in this state, nearly enough to circle
the globe twice.
However, two-thirds of this mileage
28,O49 miles, to be exact, consists OF
unimproved dirt roads. Another g.
634 miles are improved dirt, sand or
clay roads, with proper provision for
draining, crowned and having easy
grades. There are 4,845 miles of sur
faced roads, including 1928 miles OF
gravel, SOB miles of macadam, 134
miles of oil or tar surfaced macadam,
los miles of planking, Al miles OF cor
duroy, 90 miles of patent paving, 8
miles of asphalt, 70 miles of concrete
and 26 miles Of brick.
Lincoln county, with 3,100 miles OF
officially located roads, or enough to
stretch across the continent, has the
greatest road mileage, Whitman and
Spokane counties following in the or
der named.
King county, with 1,489 miles of i'm
proved roads, has the best highway
system, Pierce and Spokane counties
following in the order named, in the
mileage of improved highways.
The highway department statistics
show that total revenues raised fol
road work this, year were 1854, $40.

MODERN STRUCTURES
REPLACING SHACKS
Many Farms Are Becoming
|, Equipped with Buildings of
the Very Latest Type


A few years ago it was not an UNI
common thing to hear the stranger re-
mark concerning the poor quality OF
farm buildings in the Kennewick val
ley. This was particularly true as re-
CARDS barns, while the silo and the
milk house and the hog sheds were
conspicuous by their absence.
This condition, however, was but
one of the many similar conditions In
cident to getting started" in the new
irrigation sections tributary to this
territory. AS the country has de-
veloped along diversified lines the old
farm buildings have been gradually
replaced by buildings of quality until
at the present time there are farms
within a few miles of Kennewick
which are second to none in their
equipment along the most modern
lines.
An example of how the shack has
given way to the modern structure is
furnished on the Harry Abbot ranch
at the mouth of the Yakima river be-
tween Kennewick and Richland. The
accompanying illustration shows Mr..
Abbott's barn. The barn is of the
Tum-A-Lum circle roof type, with no
supports in the hay NOW, concrete
walls up to the plate, with concrete
floors and cutters except under the
stalls where the floors are made OF
wood insulated and made water tight
and coated with preservative embed
ded in concrete.
The barn in 80 feet wide by 80 feet
long with stanchions for 40 cows fac
ing a central feed alley at the end OF
which is 1OO-ton Tum-A-Lum plas-
tered silo. Windows are provided
hinged along each side of the barn
giving ample light and ventilation
The hay NOW is floored tight with 9
central feeding chute leading to the
feed alley. Barn is provided with tile
drains from the cutters and feed man
gers so that the whole floor can be
flushed out through the drain tile
into a slough nearby.
! Milk house is about 12x16 feet d.
vided into two rooms, one room being
the wash room, provided with cool
| ing tank and concrete floors witt
drains, sink, wash racks, tester, cool
err, separator, ETC., the other room be
ing equipped with Milwaukee Air
pressure water system. This system
is operated by an air-pump driven b!
an electric motor which forces com
pressed air into storage tank from
which the pump in the well pumps
fresh water direct from the well, op
Grating automatically whenever
faucet is turned on. Milk house i
plastered inside and the whole j
painted white thus giving cleaniy
sanitary appearance to the building.
The plans were furnished free b.
the engineering department OF tn
Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co., which com
pany also furnished all building ma
terial.

SON. This is the Hillyer who presided at Law
sons trial.
The attorney general of the state, Rookie
Teller man who was elected by the Rockefeller
influence on the same ticket with Gov. Carlson,
acted as prosecutor of Lawson. During the
trial his deputies used the Rockefeller attor-

Thus was the salt of the persecution rubbed
