CITIES MIGHT WELL CLEAR
LAND FOR FARMERS USE
Would Profit Through Stopping of
Needless Importation of Food,
Says DIR. Benson.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Dec. lot would pay the cities of
the state of Washington to finance
the clearing of unproductive but fer
tile lands in the state so that they
might be used for farming, in the be-
lief of DR.. H. X. Benson, professor Of
industrial chemistry. They would
save, he believes, because the pres
ent extensive importation of food
stuffs could be enormously decreased.
DR.. Benson told the members Of
the Seattle Commercial club recently
that there are two and half million
acres Of idle land in the region west
of the mountains which are fitted for
agricultural purposes; yet in the city
of Seattle alone more than half the
agricultural produce used is shipped
in from outside the state.

OUTSIDERS INTERESTED
IN LIVESTOCK INSURANCE
Kenney's Plan, Outlined in The
Standard. Receives Wide
Publicity.

kilograms received this week by
Cashier Frank M. Kenney of the
Olympia National bank carried formal
assurances from the officers of the
Iowa Livestock Insurance company
that 1t would begin operations in this
state as soon after the first of the
year as 1t is granted authority by the
state insurance commissioner. The
furnishing Of livestock insurance in a
reliable company is one of the essen
tials of the plan for financing the
dairy farmers of the county to permit
them to buy more COWS, in Mr.. Ken
ney's opinion, and another large East
ern company has been interested by
him.
Considerable publicity has been
given this question of livestock in
surance since it was first discussed
by Mr.. Kenney in The Washington
Standard last month, and he has re-
ceived letters from various banks,
Chambers of Commerce and Rotary
clubs in different parts of the state,
congratulating him upon his efforts
to induce some reliable insurance
company to undertake the insurance
of Washington livestock.
"This is new thought to u.s." said
w. J. Smithson of the Old National
Bank Of Spokane, land very valuable,
and ought to make a hit with every
banker in the Inland Empire" while
w. D. Vincent, vice president of this
bank, wrote: "You are certainly
doing the bankers and farmers a great
deal Of good in securing insurance on
livestock. There was a period here
at one time when q number of fake
companies were organized and did
business throughout Eastern Wash
ington. A responsible company ="
should be able to do considerable
amount Of business in this state"
1--WE are interested in such a
move," writes w. P. Roman. travel
ing secretary Of the Spokane Chamber
Of Commerce. "and are trying to work
out definite and practical PLAN for
communities IN the Inland Empire.
Our banks have agreed to help finance
moves Of this kind In our territory
under certain conditions. : We
are especially interested in the in
surance phase of the question. ="
Any information or suggestions along
these lines that you can give US will
be greatly appreciated"

FIXING VALUE OF PHONE
PROPERTIES A BIG TASK
Interesting SideIights on Work Done
by Washington Public Service
Commission.

The immensely of the valuation of
the properties Of the Pacific Tele-
phone & Telegraph company in
Washington, now being brought to a
successful conclusion by the public
service commission, is shown by
some statistics compiled from the en-
gineers' inventories.
Not counting some $500 miles of
drops" or Connections between streets
and houses. there are 341,255 miles
of telephone wire used by this COM
pany in the state. The distance from
the earth to the moon, in comparison,
is 238,S50 miles.
The company owns in whole or in
part, 210,100 telephone poles, ON
which are mounted 21S,S53 cross
arms and some 100000 insulators.
The extent of detailed work neces-
sary in valuing the poles alone is
shown by the fact that they fall in
approximately as many classifications
as there are poles, there being five
standard diameters. % standard
lengths, five different types of install
lation depending upon the character
Of the ground, $50 different condi-
lions depending upon freight rate and
distance of haul, and the question Of
whether the pole is painted or un-
painted, to be considered in deter
ming value.
How far ahead of the present the
telephone engineers are building in
their work 10 shown by the fact that
the ducts in trenches already laid in
the conduit system, are filled now to
less than so per cent Of their O.
pacity.
The telephone valuation in Wash
ington will be the first completed b.
any western state and will be the
largest single piece Of valuation Of
any kind ever completed in this state.

BRIAN STARTED
THE DANCE CRAZE

IL you talk of modern dancing-which
quite few "cCcentrics" are doing these
days-it is Maurice and Walton the
Castles, Joah Sawyer, and so on, very
seldom Donald Brian. one of the three
stars in The Girl from Utah" But it
was Mr.. Brian who started the new type
of ball a-rOlling. Most of US have for
gotten the fact that when he made him
self the waltz king-Ur. more accurate
ly. prince-Of The Merry Widow" il
was the original hesitation that danced
into fame with him.
That same Merry Widow introduced
the maxixe, though nobody thought OF
calling it that. At MaNims the dancers
tried a set of evOlutiOns that Mr. Saw
age found in South America Nobody
will deny that il was the advent of the
Viennese operCtta which brought dancing
Into popularity again, via the waltz. But
We have all of us forgotten that from it
came that impulse toward varying the
dance steps which has created what We
call modern dancing.
But now comes the news that the
feshpOts of CastIedom are to prevail at
last. This is the first of Mr. Brian's
farewells. for when the present season is
over he will HE himself to New York
and devote his talented legs to the profit
able business of teaching the young idea
how to dance.

Solar Plexus Blow.

Tlme-hOnOred stage traditions and con-
ventiOns, says the New York Herald re-
ceived theatrical solar plexus blow
recently delivered by David BeIasco
American producer. and Granville Barker
English stage director. Both men have
one principle in common-they have no
use for fOOtlights. And so successful is
their lighting scheme that il looks as If
tootllghts were soon to be snuffed out to
stay. Evolving from candle dips into
gas jets covered with wire cages. and
later into electric lights of prismatic
hues, fOOtlights appear to have reached
the time of life when they have one foot
in the grave. Mr.. Barker ripped out two
lower stage boxes in Wallack's Theater,
built the stage apron way out into the
auditorium, and, using his stage box
space for entrances. let his actors strut
on the stage by way of the apron and
roam all over it during the action of the
play. Mr.. BelascO, on the other hand.
projected the apron of his theater into the
auditorium and covered the orchestra pit
with it. but he kept it quite dark. using

perspective to his stage picture. Both
