" xasss,nsson ssess Progress es~m'ssisa,

While the utilitarian potato and the
onion may lack romantic appeal, they
take an important place among the
states agricultural products and have
done no little to add to Washington Is
fame as state where everything
grows big.
The 1899 potato crop was valued
at $1.000,000 and was surpassed only
by wheat, hay, and apples.
The state produced half million
pounds Of onions (496,000 pounds)
in 1889. The states exhibit at the
New York World IS Fair put few on
ions the size of small pumpkins on,
display for few days. They created
an interest which temporarily outclass
ed Mount Rainier. Hundreds of Easter
ners sought to order the big onions
for use in everything from onion sand
wiches to onion soup. They had never
seen onions of such size, or with the
sweet flavor which captivated those
fortunate enough to sample them.

NOMINEES OF BOTH PARTIES
WORK FOR INITIATIVES DEFEAT

The Democratic nominees for United
States senator and for governor of
the State of Washington, Congressman
Mon c. Wallgren and Senator c. c.
Dill. are seeking to make their post
ion clear and against Initiative 139.
Senator Dill states: "My program
for electric power is to defeat Initia-
tive No. 1879 because its adoption
would make impossible the purchasing
or building of power plants and dist
ribution systems by public utility dist
riets. I want to help the public utility
districts in every way possible to CO.
operate with the Bonneville power
administrator to furnish electricity at
the lowest possible rates for homes,
farms, orchards, stores, mines, factor
les and industrial plants.'
Congressman Wallgren says: IT
am unalterably opposed to, Initiative
139 and strongly urge its defeat. This
| measure would obstruct our Public
Utility District program. The people
! of the rural areas and the smaller
towns Of Washington should not be de-
prived of their means of securing for
themselves the substantial benefits OF
public power. This vicious measure
swould place very serious obstacles in
the path of the economic and indust-
rial development Of our state. It de-
seres the condemnation of every fair
minded person who believes in the fut
ure Of Washington.
The Republican Candidates for the
States high offices, that of governor
and United States senator, have also
taken particular pains to express to
the voters their exact position with
regard to Initiative No. 139..they urge
the public to vote against it.
Stephen F. Chadwick. Republican
candidate for the senate, in state
ment just issued declares:
4 IT am opposed to Initiative l3s
hs a board of directors selected by
the public should have the same free
dom of operation that board of dir
ectors Of a private business has. They
are accountable to their stockholders
who are the people of the community
: NO artificial handicaps or hinderan
ees should be placed in their way.
which, in my opinion. Initiative lS9
does.'
Mayor Arthur B. Langlie of Seat
tie, Republican candidate for Cover
nor states.
III believe in the full development
of the public power program and wall
cooperate in the expansion of the
Grand Coulee and the Bonneville pro
iects, the transmission and sale OF
their power out put to the widest pos
sible market. In this connection I be
lieve that Initiative 1873 would result
in an Unnecessary and unsound lirni-
tation on this program and l do not
favor it's adoption"
