Centralia In Fight Over Public
 Utilities In Superior Court

Suit was started in the Lewis County Superior Court, Wash lngton by Il. M Jones against lAe City of Centralia, it's mayor commissioners, city clerk, the relton Water Wheel Co.,, West ingnouse Electric & Manufac- turing Co.,, General Electric and Pacl1lc Deveiopment Co.,, in an effort to set aside ana prevent | bond issue for the construction oI a municipaIly owned hydro electric plant.
 cones is an employee of the Eastern Railway 6 Lumber Co., which led the opposition ln CWO special elections for the bond issue but in each instance over WueImlngIy defeated. lie dis putes the legality Ot the last election on the grounds that the i've propositions i'll the ordl- nance are unrelated propoSl- u0ns; attempted ratification and validatiOn Of void contracts, at tempted ratification and Vallda- of certain unlawful purchases, attempted ratification of void undertakings and obligations, attempted ratification and rati- ncation and validation of pay nents by the City of Centralla rom it's treasury and the at tempted ratification Of "a pur- ported scheme for hydro-electrlc development."
 The plaintiff further alleges tLat the proposed cost of the hy- dro-eIectric plant is far in eX- cess of it's value, and that the revenues derived from the sale of electric current will be insu1ti- cient to pay interest on the bonds and maintain the plant.
 Jones asks the court to de- clare null and void the election ordinance and all contracts and agreements entered into by the city in connection with the pro- Ject, and to issue a temporary re- straining order preventing the commission from entering into any additional contracts. Re- turn of money paid to contractor and equipment companies is also asked, together with the costs of the action.
 De1enQ2nJS are SuInIuOneQ to appear in court in twenty days to show cause why judgment should not be entered against them. The Council is confident of winning the case. The last election ratified action of the Council by a vote of 1,60O to 233. The bonds carried at a previous election in February, but this election was thrown out by the State Supreme Court on the grounds of insufficient notice of it had been published.

him over as he sat in his corner,

/ must carry on the fight in way
that would make the pictures snappy

FIRE VISITS SLAYTON
READY-TO-WEAR STORE

A spectacular fire, which was dis
covered at 11:3O o'clock last Saturday
evening, completely wiped out the
Nettie B. Shirley Ready-to- Wear
store at Slayton causing a loss of
$4,000, and doing heavy damage to
the building. Mrs. Shirley closed her
establishment about Hoo o'clock and
reported everything in good shape.
Electric wires had been plugged in to
give additional light, and is thought
that short circuit, caused by poor
piece of wire, was accountable for
the blaze. AS her custom, the shades
were drawn so the fire was not dis
covered until it had good start.
The only stock saved was that in the
vault. Her stock was valued at $4,-
OO0 and insurance covers $4,000.

kets. The plan which has been pro-
vided is the result of conscientious
effort on the part of committee
representing all types of existing
farmer-owned grain marketing
agencies. Great pains have been
taken to insure that the provisions
are essentially fair to all types of
grain marketing associations and
provision has been made for insur-
ing fair representation of all asso-
Citations in accordance with the rel
ative volume of business and sup
port which they give to the corpor-
alton in future years.
BEST of all it provides a means
whereby the grain producers may
help themselves through their own
efforts rather than by receiving
what might be termed direct
"dole" out of public funds. With
these provisions the new corpora
ton has splendid opportunity for
accomplishing worth while results
for grain producer and should re-
ceive the full support of all exist
ing farmer-owned grain marketing
associations.
There are to be 18 directors, II to
be elected from the districts named
and one from the American Farm
Bureau Federation and the Nation
al Grange. The first term of all di-
rectors is to end at the stockhold-
ers' meeting in April, 1880. At the
April, 1880, meeting the two direct
ors-at-large from the two farm
organizations are to be elected for
one year each, and the II district
directors are to be chosen for the
following terms: Five for one year,
six for two years, and six for three
years. The ALLEGATION of the II di-
rectors as to the terms is to be
made by lot. Thereafter the terms
of each director-at-large is to be
