Mayor Fawcett of Tacoma has an
nounced plan to stop the street car
service of the Tacoma Railway & Pow
er company over several lines and to
induce 500 jitney buses to begin oper-
atoms, following the street car COM
pany's rejection of his demand for a
return to five-cent fares.
All records for water lumber ship
ments from Grays Harbor were broken
In June, the total amount shipped be-
ing over 100000 feet, the former
record being for March of this year,
with 64,0O0,O0O feet The shipments
for the first half year amount to 37S,-

the four transcontinantal railroads
above mentioned, additional to what
they now receive.
1t is expected that among other in
dustries one or more large shelters
will be established at Priest Rapids
to which great quantities of ore of
various kinds will be shipped from
different localities and that a very
considerable amount will come over
the Great Northern railroads line and
over it's Oroville branch, which will
connect with the Wenatchee Southern
railroad at Wenatchee.
Fortunately the high water period
of the river, which occurs between
April and September inclusive is also
the irrigation season, and without dis
turbing or using any of the primary
twelve months 100000 horse power
which will be used for industrial pur-
poses, additional power units can be
installed which will operate during
the six months irrigation period and
supply very cheap secondary power
for operation of pumping plants,
which will supply water for irriga-
tion of fully 100000 acres of land
adjacent to Priest Rapids and in the
northern part of Benton county. This
area is as great as all of the lands
of the Yakima Valley which are now
being cultivated and the crop value
should be fully $50, 200, 900 per annum.
This will mean that large new ag-
ricultural population will be estab-
lished along the line of the Wenatchee
Southern railroad and immense
amounts of fruits and farm products
will be shipped from points on it's line
from Beverly south and from points
between Beverly and Wenatchee.
Potentialities of Road Great
The potentialities of the Wenatchee
Southern railroad are very great. 1t
it difficult for one unacquainted with
hydro-chemical and hydro-metalurgic-
al processes which have been perfect
ed with the past few years to realize
what vast industries are sure to be
established at Priest Rapids in con-
nection with the use of it's cheap pow
er. 1t is only those who dwell in
the irrigated sections of the far west
who can realize to the fullest extent
what the productivity of the land ly-
ing along the route of the Wenatchee
Southern railroad will yield when it is
brought under cultivation. / firmly
believe that. for every car of freight
which would be diverted from the
Great Northern railroad to the Wen
atchee Southern that the Great Nor
thern would receive two cars or more
from or to Priest Rapids.
The building of the Wenatchee
Southern would be justified by the
great Priest Rapids project alone.
Yesl The Priest Rapids project would
justify the building of two such rail
roads. The building of railroads must
always of necessity precede devel-
opment of agriculture and industry.
l predict that within five years from
the time it is built the 129 miles con-
stituting the Wenatchee Southern
railroad will produce more freight
than any like mileage in the state of
Washington.

toplay made from the famous story
of THE Prodigal Judge"
The Prodigal Judge" brings to
the screen a character who has long
lived in fiction and has become en-
deared to the hearts Of fiction lovers.
Eloquent at every bar. Falstafian
In capacity of intellect and appe-
lite, the judge Is a man to be CON
sldered and reckoned with In him
the ridiculous struggles for mastery
with the sublime. The spectator
laughs over him and then loves him,
and in the end rises to a point of de
lighted Admiration for the gentle
man. He is the most striking char
acter in picture of many striking
characters; a romance rich in Incl
dent hearty In humor. fu,l-fiowing
in a broad current of life and events.
Love and hate and private feud, true
friendship and evil ambition, the
mysterious and unexpected, all have
their place in the plot of this great
American picture. And the very
core and focus Of interest is the I'M
forgettable, magnificent figure Of
the Prodigal Judge.

Ruth st. Denis
A cigarette poster in a drug store
window is said to have first suggest
ed to Ruth st. Denis the possibilities
of putting on Oriental dances which
were really artistic. Hitherto the
idea OF Oriental dancing was asso-
clated only with the "Danse du
Venture" which had It's American

at the Chicago Worlds Fair.

ELENA RIVERS" PLEASES.
The stock company at the Gar

ance of LENA Rivers" to give. The

tomorrow evening.
This charming southern romance
has proved a happy choice for pro-

have found It's entertainment en-

pitching of another crop.
The winter thus far has been I'M
usually mild. with a moisture def
cheney in the section OF the belt de-
pending largely on that received
during the fall and winter. so that
already there is concern over that
and the probability of boil weevil
depredations. 1t is hardly to be
doubted. however. that with a nor
NAL spring season there will be an
increased acreage, especially IL
other farm products continue at
their prevailing low levels and cot
ton does not decline materially.
The propaganda campaign for re-
stricting acreage will soon get un-
der way. but the experience of last
season. accepting the governments
revised acreage figures as correct
does not inspire much confidence in
the success of human efforts in ef-
fecting a big reduction.
In another important branch Of
business in this part of the coun-
try. namely lumber. there Is a feel
ing of cheerfulness, as building Is
holding up to its expanded volume
and the prospects are for IL to SO
continue. Figures on building
operations in this city for the past
year were the largest of any year
since 1900, and there were few
large structures included. most Of
them having been dwellings. apart

from lumber people are generally
to the effect that demand is ex-
ceeding the supply, although high
freights are still a handicap to the

Textiles Favorable Features.

The weeks news from domestic
textile centers has been mainly en-
couraging. Revival of activity
after the year-end lull has not come
with a rush, but indications of i'm
provement have multiplied. A con-
spicuously favorable feature has
been the large attendance of mer-
chants in primary markets, and

While jobbers are not disposed to
cover their full requirements, and
in some instances are seeking
longer terms of payment, openings
of new lines of goods have met
with a fairly satisfactory response.
Price revisions on cotton for for
ward deliveries represent advances
over the low, levels of a year ago,
but are at reductions from the
highest prices reached after the up

Hesitation in Steel Industry.

CONTINUED hesitation in iron end
steel buying does not cause general
disappointment. because broad activ-

been anticipated. The future Of the
industry is still viewed with conf
dence, and present indications point
to a further turn for the better in
the spring. when demand from con-
struction interests may become more
OF a factor. Current mill schedules
are on a reduced scale, the princi
pal producer running at about a 40
per cent rate. but purchasing for re-
Punishment purposes is expected to
effect irregular expansion in opera
tions. With consumers showing lit
