The reason fur the invocation of the referendum, as staled by those who circulated the petition, was that a sutlicient time had not been unmted the owners of wire systems and the mutter should be referred to the peo ple rather than to the council. The Boners ui uie petition, with the ex ception of a few business men, were largely made up of employees and men i interested in the welfare of the I'acirie i Tower & Light Co.

The first and'second trades uiorp diu. misst'll thrm' ff:ll'B hiul uf.i.tr n,i u.-rtr,,,., of the deep slush which made it almost impossible for small children to get to school. E'ractically all the children are back in school this week. Miss Toole and Miss Howard, who have been suffering from severe colds, are back at work. The mid-ytar promotions were made Monday. There were very few fail ores reconled. Irregular attendance accounts for the majority of the fail ures in the grades. We have no mid-year beginning primary class. There are a number of reasons to account for this action on the part of the school authorities. The mid-year class is always small and every beginning class separates into two divisions. This makes the class unit too small for economy. The bad weather and the attendant illness from exposure at this time of the year make the attendance of such a class very the parents say they shall go, go the teacner nas to uo the best she can under the circumstances. Hut it is too bud to see a child in school who is not developed physically so that she can hold a pencil or control her fingers. There should be a medical inspector as final authority who should have the power to say, "This child must not be in school." The meeting of The Heights Im provement C ub last Friday evening at the Hulman hall was interesting. ''I he topic for discussion was, "Tuhlic School Fiction." The discussions cov ered the range of the reading done in the grammer school and the high school. The particular point under ftlucliau fl,.,,!..!. ....... ...U...I- I iiM,uKii, waa wneiner some of the fairy stories that are placed in me scnooi resuers are proper material for small children to read. The pat rons and teachers present agreed that all tragedy should be eliminated from the second and third grade' readers. Such discussions are a good thing for patrons and for teachers when con duced as this was in a broad and fair minded way. At the above meeting Mr. McLaugh lin made three recommendations to the school pitrons that deserves further publicity. He said, in brief, that the school patrons could do three things that would do a great deal to improve school conditions, three things that the teachers cannot do. First, that they could keep their children off the street at night. That they could see that their children had a regular time for doing home work and that they kept regular hours. Second, that they could prevent the intensified cases of "calf love," the "pest" cases that incapitate the victims fcir work or play. And third, that the parents could prevent school boys from secur ing liquor and forming habits of in temperance. That this last was hav ing a most degrading inlluence upon some of the boys and was consequently affecting the girls. That the three propositions could not be handled by the school workinii alone. That con . ditions along these lines were of such a nature that the schools wort) handi capped in their work and the ei.ds of education were being perverted A I a meeting held in Wenatchee last week when about 2". of the prominent grow ers of the district were present, Mr. Miller put before them the same prop osition that was presented to the local Union. However, the fruit men de clared that the plan would not meet their needs and refused it To the request that the Wenachee Valley put up the sum of ?8,(io0 as its share in the purchase price of the controlling interest in the Norhwcstern Fruit Ex change, the growers turned a deaf ear. Reports in the daily papers of Tort land, while stating nothing definitely, might lead to the belief that the Com mittee of representatives from the local Union, who investigated the selling agency Friday, had taken some action, definite or tentative, in their conference with the management of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange. However, the ir embers of the com mittee, C. H. Sproat, T. S. Davidson, A. I. Mason, J. E. Ferguson and O. L. Walter, did nothing more than make an inquiry into the methods of the Ex change in its sales of fruit. "Our conference with the managers of the Nothwesiern Fruit Exchange has resulted in no change in the situa tion us to the combination of the four important fruit districts of the North west," says C. H. Sproat, manager of the local Union and a member of the committee. "We have no move what ever toward altiliation, amalgamation with or purchase of stock in the North western Exchange," he continued, "and the whole matter rests with the members of the stockholders of the Union, who will meet on the afternoon of Saturday, January 27, at the assem hly hall of the Commercial club. We shall make a full report at thut time and give whatever recommendations we may have." BUILDINGS COLLAPSE FROM mm WEIGHT HYDRO CO.

CAUGHT IN SNOW WITHOUT FOOD The news has iust reuchi.d thin ,t of the, hardships endured by the mem bers of a camp of laborers on the Green Point road beyond the ranch of Albert Sutton.
