Cuero, Tex, Sept. Sit begins I'd
look as il Cuero cannot hold q cele
bration without turkeys, and in spite
of the fact that turkeys were left
out of the plans of those in charge Of
arrangements for the Cuero Colder
Jubilee and Fair on October % to No
vember /, inclusive, promise is given
that they will be in the street parade
as has been the case in previous "TurI
key Trots" held here.
The object of the promoters of thu
Golden Jubilee and Fair celebration
was to give the feature of the celebraI
ton to the fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of Cuero. and also to save
the customary high costs of assembl
ling the trotting turkeys, in com
temptation of the expenses of the celel
bration sans turkeys.
Cost Mounted Up.
The assembling of the great flock
of turkeys back in 1913. and the carr
ing for the big drove of $4,000. until
the birds could be slaughtered by the
two dressing plants here, cost the
chamber of commerce the equivalent
of a very high stack of poker chips
and promoters have been a little sby
of the costs whenever turkeys arc
suggested even though later plans have
reduced the expenses of trotting the
birds from its original level.
But of course. with the expense item
as. the chief consideration, no protest
was offered when two ON the leading
breeders of mammoth bronze turkeys
offered to parade some of their choicd
stocls just to entertain the Colder
Jubilee visitors and for the glory OF
the thing.
w. d. McCurdy. who lives a few
miles out of Cuero on the Valley View
road has neat little flock of the
mammoth bronze turkeys, containing
some 1900 birds of various sizes and
he at first proposed to put on little
bronze turkey trot of his own. but al
w. Bone. another farmer and turkey
raiser living n few miles out in AMI
other direction. said his crop of 1924
turkeys. all thoroughbreds. was we'll
above the half thousand mark. and
he would like to show some trotters
also in the street parade. Perhaps
others will want to get in also.
Heretofore the chamber of commerce
has bought turkeys. modified them be-
fore parade time and trotted them
through in one big bunch. after which
The turkeys were sold and delivered to|
tho turkey dressing plants here.
This year greater interest will att
tach TO the Turkey Trot" from theI
fact that all Of the trotters will bel
thoroughbreds and the individual
flOrks will have to be handled right
and kept from mixing up.
Golden Jubilee and Fair committees
are hard at work arranging exhibits
and otherwise preparing for the event
with view TO making the fair part
especially the best vet held here.

from Marcus, or Grand Forks, west
ward. This deal has been under con-
sideration probably ever since the
Great Northern extended its line from
Oroville to Princeton, the aim at that
time being TO continue the road on to
Vancouver, plan that has never been
carried out. Since the completion of
that line to Princeton the Kettle VAL
ley road. which is an offspring of the
Canadian Pacific, has built on west
ward from Midway to Princeton via
Pentieton and on TO the coast. From
Midway to Princeton this road tray-
erses rough and broken country
from which the road derives little or
no support in the way OF freight and
passengers. and moreover the country
is of such a nature that 1t will never
be settled up as there is not sufficient
agricultural land along the line to at
tract settlers. Again from Midway to
Princeton the Kettle Valley line
crosses seven divides with similar
heavy grades to that of the Nelson
hill, Ii the Canadian Pacific could
come to satisfactory understanding
with the Great Northern-and it is
strongly minated in railroad circles
that negotiations are pending-the
Kettle Valley line westward would be
practically abandoned and all traffic
would pass over the Great Northern
road to the coast by the way of Prince
ton. SO it is to be seen that Mr.. Gwin
suggestion, while probably made with
out knowledge of the railroad situa-
ton as between the two corporations
interested. is not without-a prospect OF
being carried out.
Even in tne event that the transfer
as intimated should take place that
would not interfere with the extension
of the Penticton branch to Oroville. On
the contrary it would hasten that
event, thus giving the Canadian Pa
cific a very important loop which
within few years would become
very valuable feeder for the main line
as It would tap the richest fruit grow
ing districts in the northwest located
on both sides of the international line.
and put those districts in immediate
.ouch with both the easern and wesern
markets. Surely is "a ccnsumatiOn de-

The white elephant OF Seattle just
now is the municipal owned street
railroad system. Paying an excessively
high price for the plaything in the
first place it has been a burden to the
city. Recently the council reduced
fares from 10 J cents. with the result
that the system was going behind at
the rate of $4,000 per day, which ran
up into money pretty fast. Now tho
authorities are to go back to the old
fare, which barely met running ex-
penses when it was In effect. This is
another illustration of how municip-
ally owned utilities are made polit-
zeal football and are always lnver-
iably an expensive experiment

named in connection with the office
are Charlie Myers, of Davenport and
Rufus Woods. of Wenatchee. while
the names of several residents of Spo-
kane have been coupled with the po-
sition. If the republicans are not
apathetic and the full party vote turns
out the republican candidate will GER
tainly be elected. The difficulty about
a special election is TO arouse partt
enthusiasm. The result of the election
will hinge largely upon the vote OF
Spokane. as thatscity and county has
larger vote than all the balance OF
the counties of the district put togeth-
er. On that account it might be safer
to nominate some popular man from
Spokane. but this paper has no par.
ticular choice and would be just az
pleased if the honor fell to the Davsn-
port or Wenatchee man.
