BUSINESS MEN SEE
NEW ERA IN D. c.

Unanimous opinion among well-in.
| formed business men presages a new
era of growth and Importance for
Washington. Over a hundred thou
sand people have taken up residence
| here within the past eighteen months.
The lowest conservative estimate pre-
diets a permanent increase in popula-
tion of 20 per cent over pre-war days.
The Government will, OF course. re-
| lease a certain number OF employees,
but all of these who care to remain
will find pleasant and profitable en-
ployment in other avenues OF en-
| deavor. Many of the large department
| stores are concerned over their ability
Christmas season.
Mr.. W. w. Everett, of Woodward &
Lothrop's. estimates that this store
will require the services of approxi-
mately 200 new employees within the
! next few weeks. These employees
will be needed, in part. TO nil vacan-
cies created by the exodus OF married
! women whose husbands have been
stationed in Eastern training camps
and who are planning to return home
when their discharge is effected from
the army.
Similar conditions were found in
other large stores. Practically all OF
the stores reported a considerable in
crease in the number of permanent
employees. Many mothers of young
women employed here have taken en-
ployment in these stores and plan to
remain with their daughters as per-
manent residents OF the city.
Fully fifty instances Of this con-
dition were recited by George s. De
Eeale, superintendent at S. Kann &
Sons. These women are conscien-
tious and sincere workers and con-
stitute some of our best help" said
Mr.. DeNeale. They are In love with
Washington, and nothing could in
duce them to return to their former
homes. They are contented and happy
here"
A. c. Case, of the Palais Royal, is
enthusiastic over the future of wash
ington. MY former home was in Los
Angeles" said Mr.. Case. "a city that
has a worldwide reputation as an
advantageous place to live. But it
cannot compare with Washington. 1t
is a daily occurrence for me to meet
people from the Pacific coast who
have fallen in love with Washington
and plan TO make their future home
with us. We have many instances in
our store. Nearly a hundred Of our
employees are the wives or daughters
of men in permanent Government
positions here. They are home-loving
people. and Washington has made its
appeal TO them. They are daily get
ting better living accommodations and
will be with us permanently.

seven miles and sells it for cents.
Washington pays approximately 10
cents for the same amount Of cur
rent Chicago develops electrical
power from its drainage canal and
sells it for less than cents. Pasa-
dena. Cal, engaged in a similar en-
teTprise and under public ownership
of its electric plant. reduced the cost
of current from Is cents to 8 cents
per kilowatt hour. The city OF Cleve-
land, without the advantages OF any
natural water power, is able to sell its
electric current for a trifle over 3
cents.
Senator Norris has closely followed
the possibilities of Great Falls. Con-
cerning the amount OF power that
could be developed. he said: "The
water at Great Falls has been care
fully measured for fifteen years. Ex-
pert engineers report that approx
mately 10000 horsepower can be de-
veloped at Great Falls. This figure
Is the maximum. but a sufficiently
high average can easily be maintained
to meet all our present and future
needs. Only for a few days every fifteen
years would the amount delivered be
less than 10000 horsepower. On the

ARE CHARGED WITH
LEADING GIRL ASTRAY

Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon Erwin, rt
sidents here for some time ,priol
to July last, when they moved
to Rapid City, are III the custod!
Of the authorities there. charged
With crime of a serious ma
ture. The following, from the
Rapid City Guide, gives the
particulars of the case against
them Charged with contributing
to the delinquency of Mildred
Barton,a Is year old girl, Vernon
and Vivian Erwin are in the coun-
ty Jail, having been arrested
Tuesday night at the depot as
they were ready to send the girl
out Of town.
According to the complaint
filed against the couple they in
duced the girl to leave
to steal from her parents. taking
two gold rings, some dro q a.,
some money, to obtain goods
from the Haines store under
fraudulent means, and that they
also. endeavored to induce her
TO leave her home.
Both the Ervins and the Bar
tons have been living in the Flor
mann block, and it is said that
there has been considerable trou-
bic between the girl and her
brother and their mother. 1t is
said that the boy aged Is was
also to leave with the girl, but
the complaint does not include
him. 1t was the intention it is
thought of the Ervins to send the
girl and her brother, away from
here Tuesday night, and they
would then follow later.
After the preliminary hearing
before Justice Nystrom, the
Ervins were bound over to the
circuit court under bail of 5000
apiece. States Attorney Mintener
appeared for the state, and
George Jeffers forr the defense.
Circuit court is still in session
and it is probable that the ease
may come up for trial at this
term.

shall go hungry. Lest We lose the
Great Cause. do you, the house

guard, each day, in your home,
over your supply of wheat, meat
fats, sugar and milk. These are
the things that the Allies need
at the front, the things that can
be transported across the wat
ers the easiest, with the least
waste.
Every woman in Haakon coun
ty, who is willing to help in
this way, is asked to sign the
food pledge card, which can
be obtained from the town OF

Ac- cordiug to British ofucals and army officers in New York city, the change in the name will not mean change in Newfoundland's al ready very liberal government.
