Vernon Ford was seen driving to
Kennewick last Wednesday all slicked
up in his party scenery.
Has anyone seen Frank Struthers
making practical use of his new II
MT? If he has we would like to
know about it.
Bob Perkins didn't know what he
was missing when he went east a
few days ago. First was the Odd
Fellows feed, next Thanksgiving,
then the Woodman feed, and a Grange
feed scheduled for this week Wednes-
day and two feeds next Saturday when
the Pomona meets at Finley.
G. Monroe Ford distinguished him
self as waiter at the Woodman's
banquet last Saturday. He was car
rying out dish of pickles in one
hand and dish of cranberry in the
other when he stubbed his toe, fell,
and stuck his chin in the cranberry.
There was an epidemic of foot
washing in the neighborhood last
Wednesday owing to a rumor started
by Iowa Joe that the thirty odd can
didates to be admitted to the Grange
were to be initiated in their bare feet.
The election of drainage commits
sioners in Drainage District No. 6 was
held last Tuesday. The three COM
missioners elected were ]. r. Ryerson,
]. R. Ayers and A. s. Goss.
With all the stories of robberies in
Kennewick the farmers will soon be
afraid to 60 to town. Last Tuesday
Tim Farney went to town with his
butter and buttermilk and while he
was shopping someone stole his but
termilk, can and all.

"Oh, well then, they're busy"
Last week our column was a. little
abbreviated. This was due to the fact
that in the issue of November 23rd
notice was given to the correspondents
to get in day earlier than usual on
account of Thanksgiving. It seems
the notice was printed in everybody's
paper but ours, so we didn't know and
got in so late that the linotyper could
only use a little of it. And so, if any
our Sparks seem a little stale
this week you'll know they are hold
overs. PSI
And now we learn that DR.. Rob-
ertson is going to use oleomargarine
on his diet squad. We don't approve
of that either.

DR.. COE TO CONSULT VOTERS
HEIR WISHES WILL DIRECT HIS
ACTION AT COMING COM
MITTEE SESSION.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 15.-In de-
Gliding how to cast his ballot on the
question of placing Hughes name on
the progressive party ballot when the
progressive national committee meets
again in Chicago on June 26, DR.. Hen
ry Waldo Coe, national committeeman
of the bull moose party for oregon,
will be governed entirely by the wish
es of the Roosevelt supporters in ore
gon He so announced on his return
from the progressive national conven.
tion, held simultaneously with that of
the republicans in Chicago.
MY the Roosevelt people I do not
mean the registered progressives, but
his supporters within the republican
party as WELL" said DR.. Coe.
VIII Get Views Of Voters.
"a good indication of this strength
is the vote, something like $4,000. re-
ceived by Charley Ackerson as a can
didate for delegate to the republican
convention. Between now and the
time I start again for Chicago I shall
endeavor by every means possible to
ascertain the views of as many OF
these people as possible"
Originally a strong Roosevelt man,
and still unfllnching in the belief that
the republicans made a mistake in
not nominating the colonel DR.. Coe
evertheless, states that he feels quite
friendly" toward Hughes, but does not
wish to exercise his own beliefs but
those of his constituents as he called
them.
Says PTOgressives VIII Split.
From what l learned back east
and from my knowledge Of the condi-
tions in oregon ana the northwest,
he said. there is little question that
the progresslves viii split between
Wilson and Hughes, with some sup
porting the nominee Of the prohibition
party, and this will obtain without re-
gard to what the national committee
may do in Chicago on the 26th."
DR.. Coe went on to explain that II
Hughes is given the bull moose en-
dorsement there will ne some difficult
ty in disposlng Of Parker nominated
as Roosevelt's running mate and of
presidential electors already chosen.

Prehistoric Fossil Found.

E. F. Averill, district inspector Of
predatory animals, this morning re-
ceived from one of his trappers near
Wallula what is pronounced as the
fossil of a horn of a prehistoric OK or
buffalo. 1t was dug out Of the earth
by the trapper while ne wac settir{
his trap in a coyote den. The fossil
is of the core of the horn only and il
much larger than the horn of the or
dinary buffalo. The trapper writes that
the head Of the animal, as shown by
the fossilized bones found, was over
three feet long. One of the horns
has crumbled but the other is intact
Mr.. AverilI will send for the head
and ship the whole to Washington, D.
c. Stanley Jewett, Mr.. Averill's as
sistant, estimates that the fossil is
several thousand years old.

Merchants Meet With Council.

Quite a number of merchants met
yesterday with members of the coun-
Gil to discuss the peddling license
introduced a week ago. The mer-
chants made it plain that they did not
wish to do the farmer or producer
any injustice but believed they ought
to be protected from the competition
of professional peddlers. The major
ity of the council were of the same
opinion and some satisfactory ordi-
nance viii probably be passed.

NEWSPAPERS MUST GET BUSY

The newspapers of the United States must create e sources of
revenue. This is especially true OF newspapers outside OF the metropolr
tan class. They are against problems quite a unprecedented as those
which are confronting the merchant and his patrons. The merchant is
compelled to charge higher prices for his goods although he is O. max
ing a. much profit as he did under frer trade at lower prices. And the
average paron-the salaried man n wage arner-is hard beset to make
ends meet
1t is from the merchant that the newspaper draws considerable of
its advertising support. From the middle class of people the newspaper
draws the bulk of its circulation revenues.
The big manufacturing interests and trade manipulators who are
putting the screws O. the merchant are not newspaper advertisers. 1hey
work their advertising. gratis, by other means.
There is a maximum OF revenue from the commercial field for news
papers. 1t does not reach the minimum of a newspapers needs in the
face OF the increased cost of producing a paper.
And with the increasing cst of producing a newspaper there "a
formerly left open. public printing the business favors of public utl-
ties and profitable work from public officials have become a negligible
source of income. Formerly these opened considerable sources Of legal
income. 1t is better for the papers and for the people that these sources
have been abandoned, but the limitation OF sources OF revenue creates .
deficit which must be met from other sources.
There must be a radical readjustment Of classification of new and
must begin to place premium OF their space. They u resist APP
peals for free publriy. They must advise the public on business prin'
ciples, and they must labor to secure lew understandings as to news
classifcations and values.
There is n O reason why a newspaper should run certain classes Of
publicity without charge than that the merchant should give away his
goods. Let is illustrate: Some organization is to hold a meeting and de-
sires to notify its members and the public The fact is brought to the
newspaper office as news" Yet to accomplish this notification by postal
card or letter would cost several dollars and not be wide in its scope
A promotion organization is launched. 1t looks to the papers to back it
and its officials to the limit. Yet officer n tach OF that organiza-
ton art under salary, and everybody Who figures in its operation, from
landlord down to janitor, is paid for his services. The newspaper is sup
posed to expend its stock in Observation-Disclosures Some big concern
papers are expected to take it up o the ground nat the oncer is a
public institution to be boosted. Yet it does not seem to occur to the
public that a newspaper, too, is a public institution, and that its product
a daily paper, is of as much value to the community as cheese or thread.
with its stock in trade?
These Illustrations may not make clear the point I'VE have in mind,
but thew will serve to point the direction in which, newspapers must
look for revenue with which to meet the changes of the day:-stockton

PRAISE DUE THE LADIES, TOO

The extending and charging o. the outlet of the sewer which carries
of the sewage OF that part of Carson lying north OF the railroad a
noted IN yesterdays Appeal and praise was justly given o the Board o.
City Trustees and the manager OF the Virginia and Truckee railroad for
the action they have taken in this matter.
But President ellison of the Board of Trustees is authority for the
statement that primarily the North Side Improvement club is responsible
for the work done by the trustees and railroad people.
Last May a few women of the North Side met together and formed
a club whose purpose wa wholly to improve conditions in that section
OF the city. They wanted many things, but realizing that only a few could
be accomplished at first they concentrated their efforts to obtain the
asked that the outlet OF the sewer emptying into Tar ditch be enlarged,
that the road to the cemetery be put in a better condition; that he three
bitches traversing the north side be cleaned, SO that waste water might
not food the residence section as it had in times past; that owners OF
vacant lots be compelled to clean them, and that cattle and horses be
not allowed to roam at will within the city limits.
Two members of the board were appointed to 6 o with the ladies,
look over the ground and take such action IS they deemed necessary
many vacant lots were put in a mor presentable condition.. bitches were
wholly or partially cleaned and finally the sewer outlet va enlarged.
The latter work was the most necessary OF all and will beneht. the whole
city, but owing to lack OF city funds ard scarcity OF pipe. it could not
be accomplished until the present time.
To make Carson a city beautiful the residents must cooperate with
the Board OF Trustees. President ellison commends the work of the
North Side Improvement club and has more than once expressed the
for the purpose of improving conditions in their sections.
The North Side Improvement club did not accomplish all it hoped to,
but it made a good start and if it had only done the oe thing Of calling
the trustees attention to the sewer, the whole city ought to rise up and
call it blessed.

Don't play the baby act and expect sympathy IN your business.
OF course you won't get. it. Why should you?
You are supposed to be grown up before you enter tn business

Don't hit hard unless you ar prepared for the reflex action.
In business, men stake the savings of their lives. 1T a serious prop

You. as a wageearner, may envy the business man, but if o had
half the worrya and are that he has you might be willing to go back to-
