Malcolm declared he could be the best darn farm hand that ever waved a pitchfork, and backed it up with the stuff that talks—money. Now Malcolm is in Geattle. tanned He lost the bet.

They both had strongly opposed views on the question, “Can a city man make a good farmer?” So they put up a bet, and the bet was this; Malcolm was to hire out as a farm hand for a period of one month, and if, at the end of that time, he had proved himseif a good one, he would win the money and the argument.

These increases, according to es- timates of Kennedy's engineer, ap- proximate more than $100,000 a month in Seattle alone, They are ac- tually 31_per cent more than present ‘phone rates The next step in the fight against the 'phone raise was taken by the company when it obtained a tempor- ary injunction preventing the state from interfering in the controversy. This order was granted by Judge lE. BE. Cushmaii, 14 months ago. It was reverse, however, before the | tolls became effective, by the three !judge court. Subsequently the telephone com- |pany’s case was dismissed from fed- jeral court pending the settlement of ja suit for a writ of review filed by Who Starts the Fires? EDITORIAL ASHINGTON, in company with other timber states in the Northwest, is experiencing its usual summer horror—FIRE! Recognized the world over as one of the most beau- tiful states in the Union, Washington is rapidly being stripped of its wealth and its glories. Where green timber delighted the eye and produced millions annually, one now sees in many places only the charred spectre of a once great asset. Men, women and children fight for their lives and their homes. Tourists, red-eyed, try to see the wonderland the Chamber of Commerce has told them about. But the smoke-screen shuts it out. * * * HE campers—stop their fir operators and millmen, So the campers are told by the state forester’s office that they can’t build any more fires unless they huddle together in designated spots. soe 8 M” SANWHILE comes a startling admission, A slashing fire from a logging works, started last April, is still burning like mad! United States foresters have insisted that spring burning is more practicable. So spring burning has been practiced. April showers would put out the fires, it was argued. But April showers didn’t and neither did May show- ers, because they were few and far between. * ad ID you put out your fire?” ask the logger and the millman as the camper and the tourist peer thru the smoke. “Yes, we did,” answer the camper “but you didn’t.”” And they never will until a law is passed limiting the burning of slashings to the fall months. And the Chamber of Commerce will do well to save its cash and its wind until that time, Because folks want to see something besides the pictures of our mountains, our big trees and our inland sea when they travel across the country to get here. ’ yell the logging on and the tourist, Kennedy in the superior court of ‘Thurston county.
