Zone day great, great many visit
orS came to see them and the fishes
were waving their fins and chatting
and talking about the busy day that
there had been that day in the
aquarium.
MANY of the fishes from far away
were very proud for they had been
looked at so interestedly. Everyone
had admired their lovely colorings. {,
But the Sea Lion was interested
in talks he had had with the people.
''They had listened to him though
they had not been able to understand
him.
what he had said to them had been
along these lines:
""The one who takes charge of us
has boat named the Sea Horse the
Sea Lion had been telling the visitors.
"'He sends this boat out every once
in awhile toward the sea. The boat
doesn't go alone, of course. Some
men go with it. And they catch fish
for the fishes here in the aquarium.
We eat each other you know.
"Oh, yes, we're not fussy about
such little things. In fact, we would
be rather fussy If we didn't get enough
to eat.
"'NOw I like herring and cod. I'm
very fond of those two kinds of food.

DRESIDENT LEWIS Of the mine
= workers made a definite move for
settlement Of the coal strike by calling
a joint wage conference Of operators
and miners Of the central competitive
bltuminous field, to be held in Cleve-
land August Z. Unfortunately, the op-
orators, or most Of them. refused to
attend.
Meanwhile Henry B. Spencer, who
was appointed federal fuel distributor
and his committee and subcommittee
began functioning actively. According
to Mr. Spencers plan, the federal Or
ganizatiOn will cover the distribution
of available supplies among the rail-
ways federal institutions and states,
and the governors of the states will
handle local supplies. State fuel COM
mittees were called ON to report at
once the consumption of coal in their
territories by utilities, industries and
households and to submit list Of
those who should receive priorities.
These state committees are also made
entirely responsible for the prevention
of profteering and extortion in the
sale and distribution of coal within
their respective states.
Governor McCray of Indiana took
the most vigorous action yet reported
in the matter of getting out coal. The
miners of the state refused to issue
permits to sufficient men to operate
the mines for emergency purposes, so
the governor opened two strip mines in
Clay county under the protection of
500 state troops as preliminary
measure and declared q state of mar
tial law to exist in that pagt of the
county. These mines are in the hands
of a receiver appointed by the federal
court, and the governor called atten-
ton to the fact that this places the
United States government behind
them. Mr.. McCray also called a con-
ference of the governors of Pennsylva
MIA, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky
and Wisconsin. Governor Preus of
Minnesota says the coal situation in
the Northwest is more threatening
than ever, and he has asked the gov
errors Of Iowa, Wisconsin and North
and South Dakota to meet with him
in st. Paul August 10. In Wisconsin

commission, all ornamental and dis

CHICAGO'S street car strike came
~ along according to schedule. Some
10000 employees of the surface and
elevated lines quit early Tuesday
morning and no attempt was made to
take the cars out of the yards. Motor
vehicles of all descriptions were called
into service and on the first day there
was a terrific congestion of traffic. By
Wednesday the police, motor clubs and
individual motorists had worked out
a system that brought the situation
almost to normal, and many Chica-
goan began to wonder if the city
couldn't get along without the noisy
street and elevated cars. Also they
learned the worth of one-way street
regulations in the business center.
Toward the end of the week peace
negotiations were resumed, but the To-
cal president of the employees said he
saw no prospect for an early settle
ment. The men are fighting not only
a proposed wage reduction, but nine
hour day. Chances of an order by the
state public utilities board reducing
fares and politics enter into the Chi
cago situation, and it was frequently
and openly asserted that the strike
was a put up job to prevent the fare
reduction and to deal blow to Mayor
Thompson and his organization. The
mayor has long promised 5-cent fare
and last week tried to take steps to-
ward the establishing of municipal
bus line to supplant the street cars.
4 T THIS writing it appears prob

James A. Reed has been renominated

was hot and even bitter. Mr.. Long had
the support of former President Will
son, during whose administration he
was assistant secretary of state. The
dislike that Mr.. Wilson and many 9TH
ers have for Reed dates from the years
of the World war. The Republicans
of Missouri nominated r. R. Brewster
of Kansas City for the senate.

STATE PLATFORM INSPECTION
TO BE RE-ESTABLISHED HERE

World: Platform inspection such
as conducted by the state horticultu-
raj authorities in this county previous
to this year probably will be re-estab-
lished here. A get-together meeting
of growers, shippers, state horticul-
tural representatives and county COM
missioners was held Monday in the
court house, at which an agreement
was reached by the various depart
ments on plan to continue platform
inspection.
The plan is that the work shall be
under the supervisor of the horticul-
tural office. State police inspection
is to be limited to the same sort of
platform inspection pursued by the
state department previous to this
year. Fruit is to be inspected by the
state at the warehouse when it ar
rives, and after that the authority of
the state ends.
Carload lots from a warehouse I'M

rations of the company, according to
a telegraphic despatch to the Daily
World from Washington, d. C.
This is one of ten applications for
power grants that have been made by
the Royal Development Company, ac-
cording to James Naughten, presi-
dent of the company, who was in
Wenatchee yesterday. He states
that equipment will be installed i'm
mediately and three horsepower will
be generated this winter to light the
camp. In the spring 100 horsepower
will be developed from this site.
Naughten states that the ten appli-
cations, if granted, will give the COM
pany the right to develop 10000
horsepower. This project alone, he
states, is worth all the efforts of the
company to develop, even without the
copper, silver and gold mines.
The company is expending thou
sands in hard cash developing the
Red Mountain mines. 1t has started
drilling an eight mile transportation
tunnel and is in 40 feet, which is far
enough to permit the crews to work
under shelter during the winter. 1t
is expected that the main ore body
will be struck at 1000 or 1920 feet.
This tunnel is for transporting the
ore by means of ore trains from the
st. Frances and Lepreechaun tunnels,
which are directly above. This tun-
mel will also be a drainage way for
water from the upper workings. The
company was confronted with the
necessity of either building the tunnel
or building railroad under snow
sheds, and found the tunnel the more
economical.
The company now has two sawmills
operating, and two engines, one for
COMPRISING air and the other for
supplying power for general pur-
poses.
Winter supplies are now being
trucked in daily. The company ex-
poets to keep the road open until
December Is. After that mess
enger will come in every three weeks
on snow shoes. A wireless set is be-
ing installed so that the men can keep
in touch with the world outside the
snowbound mountain fastness.

SOILS BUDGET Topped OFF
BY COUNTY BOARD

World The elimination of the soils
experts budget for 1923 by the coun-
ty commissioners raised the question
of whether this work is to dscon-
tinue after the first of the year. 1t
can be continued only by using part
of the money set aside for "agricul-
tural work" IN the county,
Under this head the commissioners
have appropriated $3,316.49. The
designation "county agent" is omitted
from among the items in the budget,
but the county agent is retained in
service. The amount allowed for ag-
ricultural work is identical with the
amount asked by County Agent Will
liam Meikle What the commits
sioners really have done is to render
possible using part of the $3,316.49
for carrying on the soils work by
making the aims and duties of the de-
partment under which it is appro-
priated indefinite and flexible.
The only possibility for continuing
the soils work. since the budget for
this work has been Topped off, is to
use part of The funds set aside for
agricultural work. Whether this
will be done has not been decided at
this time.
The horticultural budget for 1923
is $3,309.77, being cut down from 3d.
600. This is to pay for office sup
plies, salaries, etc. 1t is possible that
the horticultural budget will be drawn
I upon by the county agent to defray
the costs of combating pests, and
| furnishing advice to growers on
spraying and other matters. The
commissioners found there is dupl-
cation in the county agents and hor-
ticultural offices as regards this work,
and the tendency is to make it essen
TALLY the province of the county
agent. Growers who appeared before
the commissioners spoke favorably of
the pest control work and advice of
experts.

STATE TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDS.

Initiative Measure No. 46, the 30
10 bill, is tax increasing measure.
1t provides specifically for ten dollars
per child additional revenue for pub
lie school purposes and, despite all
statements to the contrary, no pro-
vision is made in the bill for any re-
duction in school district levies. Ac-
cording to the latest available official
statistics there are 375,O00 school
children in the state of Washington
and the additional ten dollars pro-
posed to raise under the 1910 bill
would therefore call for $3,750,0O0
more money than is now provided
under the 20-1O law.
When it is considered that public
school expenditures in this state have
increased $55.52 per pupil since 1916
it must be plain that no financial en-
Urgency exists at this time making it
necessary to increase the annual
school fund S3,750OOO.
Every good citizen of the state of
Washington favors the highest degree
of efficiency in the public schools and
must feel pardonable pride in the
fact that Washington is in the first
rank in this respect. But we must
also consider the constantly increas-
ing tax burden and its effect upon
business and industry and the owner
ship Of property.
The public school expenditures last
year reached s28,553, 1873, an increase
of $15,473,061.62 since 1916. Surely
these figures must convince every
citizen that no additional public
school revenue is required.
Initiative Measure No. 46 should
be defeated.

at the door, asking him to come out
Brooks says he did so, and Reed
again accused him of taking his mon
ey. Brooks asserts that he noticed
Reed was armed, and before leaving
the shack, took his own gun from
beneath his pillow. The two walked
around the shack, Reed first, then
turned into the narrow space between
the shacks. In the middle of the
narrow alley, Brooks says Reed
stopped, drew his gun and pointed it
at him. The prisoner claims he
seized Reeds wrist, and the gun went
off, the bullet striking the ground
Reed fired another shot Brooks claims
while he grasped the barrel of Reeds
gun in his left hand. He drew his
own revolver with his right hand,
fired, and as Reed fell, the fallen
mans revolver remained in Brooks
left hand. With one gun in each
hand Brooks says he walked out of
the alley and up the bank out of
shacktown. Both guns he threw
away later.
The story of Blanche Alfred, held
as witness, is that Brooks did not stay
in her. shack Thursday night, as he
claimed. She told the police that
Brooks entered her shack about
II o'clock, then left, and short
ly after she was startled by the sound
of the shots. Ellen Burton, residing

says she saw Reed and Brooks walk
ing together from the direction of the
Barbecue Inn, about so yards east of
the Alfred shack, and then turn into
