cabs and other cars for public hire
An important and noteworthy fact is
vouched for by the Editorial Depart
ment Of Automobile Topics" a we'll
known trade authority, which has been
making nature of automobile services.
They state that of the 5000, 600 motor
cars of all kinds in service in the United
States today, they can conservatlvely
say from their investigation that over
one-half of the mileage of the 3,0O0,-
900 cars is used for business purposes.
Literally. this means that of the g.
900, 600 automobiles running in this
country to day one-half, or 1900, 600,
are used for business purposes. This
leaves only one and one-half million in
use for pleasure or social transportation
purposes.
In considering the l, 5000 automo-
biles in use today, which may legiti-
mately be classed as pleasure cars,
an important fact should be borne in
mind, namely: the so-called pleasure car
of today has a distinct economic use, it
being only reasonable to deduce that
the time and money spent in motoring
for pleasure or social intercourse almost
invariably takes the place of some
other form of expenditure of less actual
economic value. Motoring is pleasure
that for broader vision, saner and more
helpful diversions. and a more SYM
pathetic social life. A nation without
its sane pleasures is hopeless. There
fore, it is far from logical to consider
the so-called pleasure car of today as an
added luxury.
If production increases at the average
rate maintained for the past five years
which is unlikely, due to greater
manufacturing problems and to in
ability of the selling and distributive
branches to keep pace with greatly
augmented manufacturing volume-the
point of saturation will not be reached
tor five, six or even seven years. And
some Of the leaders in the industry pre-
dict that it will be a matter of ten or
twelve years.
All signs point to continued develop
ment for several years to come-for
just how long i is difficult to say, but
as in many other new fields, limitations
and curtailment of expansion, arbitrarily
predicted, are merely evidence of a
shortened vision or unfamiliarlty with
all of the facts.
Its true that materials and labor are
more expensive and increasingly hard
to secure. This condition is not serious,
nor is it likely to be. The makers of
medium and high priced cars overcome
the difficulty by an advance in their
selling prices. The manufactures of
low priced cars build in much greater
quantities, are protected by contracts
until the end of the automobile year,
July, 1917, and are able to absorb addi-
tional expense by spreading it out over
a great number of units and by in
creasing their manufacturing efficiency.

By Error Drinks Black Leaf 40

Nick Kincherf, an old timer in these
parts made a greyious mistake last
Sunday morning. He was dry and
thot to refresh himself from a flask Of
port wine he had on a shelf. Now
in some way a bottle containing
a condensed insecticide called Black
Leaf 40, decoction used to
kill insects on fruit trees, and strong
enough to remove the roll plate from a
brass ring, in some way occupied the
place formerly occupied by the bottle
OF port wine, and Nick took a drink
and swallowed a small portion Of this
decoction before he discovered his
mistake. The effect was instantaneous
and distressing. A doctor was imme-
diately called and administered relief,
and said Nick had a close call. II
some OF the stuff had gotten into his
stomach the effect would doubtless
have been fatal. AS it is his mouth
and throat is badly burned but his re-
covery is only matter Of time.

Nom Partisan Administration in North
Dakota

The controlling factor in North Da-
kota politics just now is the Non-Par-
tisan Political League. 1t elected its
candidates for state officers, for most of
the judicial positions, and its members
have clear majority in both branches
OF the legislature; indeed, they form
more than two thirds OF both house
and senate. They thus have full re-
sponsibility for the conduct OF public
business in North Dakota for the next
two years. The league was formed to
get square deal for the farmer, and
now that the farmer is in control it is
to be hoped that square deal for the
other fellow will also be the rule.

PauIhanus to Build Cannery in
WenatChee

At the meeting OF the Washington
State Horticultural association in North
Yakima last week Mr.. Paulhamus
announced that a plan was under way
to form a big holding company to take
over the Puyallup and Summer cann-
ing plants and establish three additional
plants in this state, one North Yakima,
another at Wenatchee and the third at
Spokane. He says he can guarantee
cents per pound for all the Royal
Anne cherries that can be produced;
Bartlett pears at $40 per ton orchard
run, and for Elberta peaches the same
price, and cents per pound for black
raspberies, with corresponding price
for all other fruits suitable for cann-
ing purposes. The fruit growers OF
this valley hail with delight Mr.. Paul
hamus' announcement and only hope
it will not miscarry.

What the Benton Go. AgriCuI-
turaI Agent Accomplished

The past year thru the persistent
efforts OF L. M. Lampson, County
Agricultural Agent Of Benton County,
an organization was effected where by
o5 per cent OF the berry crop was sent
out through one agency selected by
the growers. With no price cutting
by different factions and saving IN cost
of distribution, it was possible to net
the grower $2.43 per crate for the
1916 crop. Forty-one thousond four
hundred and sixty-nine crates were
shipped at 83 cents more per crate
than last year and 68 cents more than
two years ago.
Assuming that the districts produced
the same quantity Of berries for each
of the three years, it would mean that
the farmers received S34,419.27 more
for the 1916 crop and 1913. 1892
more for the 1915 crop than for the
1914 crop. Is the County Agricultural
Agent worth while2-Extension

A Wide Contrast

The vote Of California this year was
astonishing in more ways than one.
For instance it shows a total of nearly
100000 votes cast for Hughes and
Wilson and Of more than million for
all parties. This is better than forty
FIVE per cent Of the entire population
Of the state. Part Of it may be ex-
planned by the increased interest OF the
women in their exercise OF the suffrage.
1t is interesting to compare this Cali
fornia percentage with that Of Missis-
sippi, where less than four per cent OF
the population is privileged to cast the
electoral vote of that state.

DOGS MUST BE MUzzlED
OR KILLED Says SHERIFF
Rabies Are Scattered All Over the State
by Wolves Drastic Measures
Must Be Taken

Sheriff McManus was here short
time Wednesday afternoon and said to
a reporter for this paper that word had
come down from Entiat before he left
that a strange dog, believed to have
had rabies, from his actions, had
bitten several dogs and number Of
hogs and other stock. The dog was
killed and all dogs exposed had been
muzzled and tied awaiting develop
ments. The hogs, also, as measure
of precaution have been confined. A
physician was sent to Entiat to make
an examination and report if the dog
killed really was afflicted with the dan
gerous disease.
Sheriff McManus said he would at
once appoint deputy in every section
of the county and instruct that the law
in regard to muzzling dogs be enforced
and destroy all unmuzzled dogs. He
said that the leather muzzle proved a
failure in Wenatchee and that last
Tuesday dog wearing one of those
open leather muzzles had bitten
child. The only effective muzzle is
the closed wire kind, and they must be
securely fastened on.

law strictly. After Monday, January
IS, all dogs found running at large,
unmuzzled. will be summarily shot.
To comply with the law muzzles must

DEATH OF MRS. Lee HOWtRTON.
Had Rallied From Operation But Sudden
Iy Collapsed Last Saturday Morning
at Hospital

DR.. Hoxsey had Mrs. Lee Howerton
removed to the Leavenworth hospital
last week because she had developed
a we'll defined case Of appendicitis, and
on Friday, with the assistance OF
DR.. Gerhart, of Wenatchee, she was
operated on between ten and twelve
o'clock. Some two hours after the
operation, having survived the shock,
and overcome the effects Of anasthetics
she appeared to be in fair way to re-
covery and talked quite freely to her
husband and friends. About twelve
o'clock Saturday night complications
set in and she told her husband that
she realized she could not recover and
that she was prepared to die. The
husband and friends tried to dissuade
her but she said she knew better.
When urged to try and 60 to sleep she
said she would try and appeared to be
falling into a sleep, but it was the last
sleep. She never woke again. She is
survived by a husband and two chill
dren.
In his bereavement Mr.. Howerton
has the sympathy Of large circle of
friends. Besides her husband there are
two children to survive her. The family
has lived here for almost ten years and
was universally esteemed.
The remains were laid to rest last
Sunday in the Leavenworth cemetery,
Rev. w. V. Davis an old friend OF the
family came here from Algona, Wash,
to conduct the funeral services, which
were very impressive.
