AHEAD FOR
THE NORTHWEST

SPOKANE.-Word of new finan-
cial awakening in the far northwest
converging in the territory served by
Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma was
brought to New York by Ben B. Ehr-
lehman, president of the DTumnel-
Ter, Ehrlichman and White of Seattle
and president of a group of corpora
tions of the North Pacific Coast.
Ehrlichman points out that the alb
sence of initiation in this section of
the country is likely to prepare the
way for lone Of the most attractive
investment channels of the country
in view of the very apparent sound
ness of the present market"
The time seems not very distant
when the flow of capital from fl
nancial centers Of the world to the
northwest will be greatly increased.
Many important developments are
now assured for the Pacific North
west. 1t is one section of the country
that !. has experienced no wild specu-
latioh. It's real estate is still selling
at prices indicating not initiation but
real opportunity.

Pithy Paragraphs

1t may be true, as Shakespeare
said, that all the world is a stage but
you can't get by with stage money.
Suspenders and galoshes have come
back. Next thing in order will be the
old reliable moustache cup.
Boston is to have Sunday baseball
this summer which would seem to in
dicate that the Puritans came over to
Massachusetts in vain.
It is said that Jascha Heifitz has
earned nearly two million dollars in
America since 1917 just playing the
violin. That's lot of money to scrape
up in twelve years.
One company of gangsters in Chi
cago wipes out seven other gangsters,
showing they are more efficient than
the police in cleaning up the town.
Two French newspapermen fought
= duel the other day because one
claimed that the other gave him an
exaggerated news report. They must
take their journalism seriously over
there.
We used to be a great deal con-
cerned about the rights of the minor
ity but now that the minority is or
ganized for shouting and propagan-
dizing we think it's about time to be-
come concerned about the rights of
the majority.
The baseball teams. are getting
ready to 20 south which indicates that
spring is just around the corner.
There was great deal of protest
from the liberal element when wom-
m in Michigan was sent to prison
for life under the habitual criminal
law for bootlegging. Now man has
been sent up for life for stealing
thirty bags of beans. The Boston city
council ought to pass a resolution
about this.
Lamps for giving a man a synthet-
ic coat of tan without the necessity
Of going into the great outdoors have
been perfected. These will be fine for
the boys who get all their exercise at
the seashore playing poker.

POWER FIRM HIT
IN MARYLAND .

BALTIMORE, June 15.-The Mary
land public service commission, hav-
ing ruled against the Suburban
Power Company in it's bitter fight
for the North Beach and Chesapeake
Beach territory. this week took an.
other blow at the Suburban when it
scored the power company's connec-
ton fee plan. l.@
The connection fee nlan is a large
down payment made when the ser.
vice is installed. The Suburban of.
ficials call it simply an advance
payment on current to be furnished" /"
The public service commission called
it harder things than that, and then
allows the plan to stand because
the subscribers to the. Suburban
service seem to prefer it,"
The commissions decision, however.
demands that the Suburban keep
separate accounts, of funds received
for service connection charges" to
itemize each monthly bill, showing
how much is charged for service.
how much for demand charges, mini.
mum charges, and to have printea
on all contract forms three alterna.
tive rates for prospective customers.
/ The commissions order is the, out
growth of the southern Maryland
power war between the Suburban
and the Consolidated.
