legislation system. The result will
probably influence the legislature to
give little if any heed to the authors Of
the bills when they are presented at
Olympia.
Plans OF the Pacific Northwest
Tourist Association to expend the
S125,000 publicity fund being sought
from Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia to bring tourist traffic to the
Pacific Northwest, have been out lined
by Herbert Cuthbert, secretary OF the
association, as follows:
The establishment Of tourist offices
in one or more Of the large Eastern
cities in districts where heavy tourist
traffic originates.
Establishment OF connections with
Eastern news agencies for the dis
semination OF news features of the
Pacific Northwest.
Insertion of paid advertisements in
Eastern newspapers and magazines
featuring the scenery, sports and sum-
mer climate OF the Pacific Northwest.
Publication of handsome illustrated
booklets portraying the scenic at
fractions, outdoor sports, good roads
and tourist accommodations of the
Pacific Northwest.
Circulation of these pamphlets
through the Eastern offices, tourist
agencies and railway Offices through
out the United States.
Employment of a lecturer to visit
the principal cities OF the East to de-
liver lectures on the tourist attractions
OF the Pacific Northwest, handsomely
illustrated with colored slides.
This program will reach not only the
general public of the United States,
but will furnish full information concern
ing the Pacific Northwest to the tourist
agencies and railway passenger and
ticket agents who control in large
measure the routing Of tourist travel.
By combining the resources Of
Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia, this work can be done for
all three commonwealth at the same
expense that it would cost either one
of them to do it separately and the
scenic attractions OF the entire Pacific
Northwest are combined to attract the
tourist.

Rabies Prevalent in Kittitas County.

week tells of coyote coming down
from the hills and attacking the dog Of
a rancher in the Teanaway valley and
biting several. The coyote was killed
and the rancher took the head to DR..
Stafford who sent it to the State Board
of Health. 1t was promptly pronounced
as afflicted with rabies, or hydrophobia.
The rancher promptly killed all his
dogs.

SEATTLE-Lumbermen OF Wash
ington regard the outlook for a con-
siderable revival of the numbering in
dustry in 1917 as encouraging at this
time. The demand for forest products
of the Northwest in South America and
Australia is heavy. but the excessively
high charter charges and the shortage
OF ocean bottoms have kept foreign
shipments down. The domestic
markets have improved and as the car
shortage is relieved there promises to
be big movement OF lumber to the
east. Prices continue to remain COM
paratively low and, while decided
raise is not expected, much healthier
condition for this basic industry Of the
state is anticipated.

With the Legislature in session again
interest in matters Of legislation centers
at Olympia. The issue that continues
to loom up as the one most likely to
produce fireworks is the strife between
the State College and the University Of
Washington. Considerable heat already
has been engendered over this question
and not little bitterness has tinged
the utterances that have emanated from
the two institutions and their partisans.
Many OF the Legislators, who were in
the 1915 session that provided for the
educational survey express disappoint-
ment over the report particularly as
regards the recommendation for a
heavy increase in the levy for educa-
tional institutions Of higher learning,
an increase that is almost double the
present levy. They point out that one
Of the chief reasons for providing for
the survey was the hope of discovering
a more economical method Of maintain
ing these institutions and the contrary
is the results.

Warren H. Lewis, who led the Re
publican presidential electors on the
ballot in the state November 7th and
received some $4,000 votes more than
Edwin M. Connor, the democratic
elector appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of A. T. Stream,
has announced in a letter made public
that he will not contest the election oil
Mr.. Connor and thus insures a solid
democratic vote from this state. Mr..
Stream, who was named a presidential
elector by the Democratic state con-
vention last June died a short time be
fore election and the name Of Mr..
Conner, who was selected by the
Democratic state committee to fill the
vacancy was not certified TO all election
officials. This caused the discrepancy
in his vote. The action OF Mr.. Lewis,
taken on advice of the Republican
state committeeman, sets at rest all
question of contest in the electoral
college from this state, and was taken
on ground that the plurality given to
Wilson in this state indicated the
popular will.

All four of the initiative measures
that were proposed for presentation to
the Legislature failed to receive enough
signatures and were not filed with
Secretary OF State I. M. Howell. The
measures were bone dry law, non
partisan law for state and county offices,
a home rule law and proposition to
remove the capital from Olympia to
Dash Point. The authors Of the bone
dry law early dropped all effort to
secure signatures for their bill because
of dissatisfaction with the terms Of the
measure as drawn. A strong campaign,
especially in Seattle, was waged for
signatures to the non PARTISAN initiative
but the petitions received hardly hall
enough names required under the law.
It is said that the proponents OF that
bill will endeavor to have it introduced
in the Legislature this winter in spite OF
their failure to initiate it. The cir
culation OF the petitions for these
measures aroused no popular interest
and the most strenuous efforts to obtain
signatures for some Of the measures
met with an indifference amounting TO
resentment OF what the people appear

As appears from the table. France,
Italy, Russia and Belgium were self
supporting, while the United Kingdom
drew its entire sugar supply from ex-
terror sources. The supply of the Unit
ed Kingdom came TO the amount OF
about 20 per cent from countries from
which it is now cut off by the war.
Ten per cent came from the East In
dies and 20 per cent from the United
States and the West Indies.
The prospective 1918 crop in France
has diminished 10 100000 tons and
that OF Italy to $4,000 tons. and they
are therefore short 10000 tons The
displacement of United Kingdom sup
plies amounts 10 1.435.000 tons: and
therefore. in total. these three allied
countries must import about 100000
tons in order TO maintain their normal
consumption. OF this. 100000 tons
must come from new sources.
