Don't Forgot lb Dales For any further Information call on ' F. X QUINLAN, Local Agent , . Or write to 'WM.'McMURRAY General Passenger Agent ft PORTLAND, ORBOON Des Moines, the capital and also the commercial center of Iowa, has adopted a new system of municipal government, which because of its dlH tlnctivo features, has been christened the Des Moines plan. To fix responsi bility for administrative acts, is the ('ssence of the plan. The second con sideration was to have a governing body ri'HpoiiHlve to these two elements In proper relationship would produce a highly efficient government. The administration of municipal uffalrs, under the Des Moines plan, Is In the hands of a 'board consisting of the mayor and four councllmen The board stands In the same relation to the business of government as the di rectors of a trading corporation bear to the company's business. The mayor and council make all iippolntments, appropriate all funds, levy and collect taxes, establish rules for the direction of subordinate offi cials and direct the expenditure of all money. In order that the responsibil ity for official acts may be still fur ther fixed, the business of the city Is divided Into five departments, public affairs, accounts and finances, public safety, Btreets and public Improve ments, parks and public property. Each member of the council Is as j signed by mutual agreement to one i of these departments, the mayor as suming, by clrtue of his office, the department of public affairs. Each councilman, therefore? be comes Individually responsible for the conduct of the affairs of his depart ment over which he exercises the au thorlty of a superintendent. Up to this point the Des Moines plan does not differe from the system of government Instituted In Calves ton after the city was swept away by the flood. But the Des Moines plan has other features. Coupled with this almost autocratic power and Individ ual responsibility on the part of the councllmen. Is the recall. Although the officers are elected for a definite term, yet by exercising the recall they may be removed from office at any The director-of the United States geological survey has Just prepared the following Interesting article on the coal production of the state of Washington: Although a good part of the mar ket for Washington coal In California has been lost through the Increased production of fuel oil in that state, Washington shared In the general In crease in the, production of coal in 1907. . The total output for the year was 3,680,632 short tons, having a spot value of $7,679,801, an increase of 404,348 short tops, or 13.34 per cent, in quantity, and of $1,771,367, or 2. 98 per cent, in value, compared with 1906. The average price per ton ad vanced from $1.80 in 1906, to $2.09 In 1907. During the first 10 months of the year the coal-mlnlng Industry of the state was in a highly satisfactory condition. In November and Decem ber, however, owing to the financial disturbances, the output of the mines was curtailed about 33 per cent. But for this the production would prob bly have exceeded 4,000.000 tons. The number of men employed In the coal mines of Washington in creased from 4529 in 1906 to 5945 In 1907, and the average number of working days Increased from 266 to 273 The only decrease shown In the statistics of coal production In Wash Ington In 1907 as compared with 196 was In the productive capacity of the employes, the average yearly tonnage per man having declined from 723.4 tons In 1906 to 619 tons In 1907. The average dally produc- tln per man decreased from 2.72 to 2 57 tnim Nearly all the mines of the state are operated on an eight-hour' sched ule, 6594 men out of a total of 5945 employed working eight hours a day In 1907. Washing apparatus has been in stalled at 15 plants in the state, and the total amount of coal washed dur ing 1907 was 799,015 short tons, yielding 644.601 tons of cleaned coal and 154,614 tons of refuse. D. C. Bottlng, state mine Inspector, reports that the total number of acci dents in the' coal mines of Washing ton in 1907 was 131, of which 39 were fatal. The death rate per thou sand of employes were 6.06, and the number of tons mined for each life lost was 102,237. This makes an unfavorable com parison with the casualty statistics for' 1906, and particularly with those for 1905. In 1906 the death rate per thousand employes was 4.86 and the tonnage for each life lost was 148. 917; In 1905 the death rate per thou sand was 2.73, with a tonnage of 220,379 for each life lost. , The coal beds of Washington are found in the western and central por tions of the state, and are mined In five principal fields the North Puget Sound field, including the coal mines of Skagit and Whatcom counties; the South Puget Sound field, comprising the mines in King and Pierce coun ties; the Puget Sound basin, Just east of Seattle; the Roslyn field, In Kittitas county, on the eastern slope of the Cascade mountains; and the south western field, embracing, the counties of Lewis and Cowllte. ;The coals of Washington range from lignite to bituminous coking coals, and Include some natural aoke and anthracite. The bituminous coking coals of Washington are the only coking coals on the Paoifio slope of the United States. They are found in the Wilkeson-Carbonado district in the South Puget Sound field, and al so in the North Puget sound field, but WASHINGTON'S 111 COIL OUTPUT time a majority of the electors believe them to bo dishonest or Inefficient A petition of 25 per cent of the voters compels the accused office holder to again go before the people for their Indorsement or rejection, At no time Is a councilman free from the Imme diate authority of the electorate. The Initiative and the referendum are also combined with the recall, In the Des Moines plan. Under the Ini tiative the voters regain the power of direct legislation, although the coun cil might be opposed to the specific measure Itself. A petition of not less than 10 per cent of. the qualified voters Is necessary to bring a propos ed ordinance before the people. The section of the law covering the Initia tive and also the referendum Is man datory upon the council and compels the calling of a special election upon petition of the required number of voters. The clause In the plan which pro vides for the referendum places In the hands of the electors power to block any legislation, with the excep tion of such as may be required by state law or the public safety. If during 10 days after the passage of an ordinance by the city council, 25 per cent of the voters petition to have the matter submitted to popular vote, the ordinance will not go Into effect until a majority at a special election vote In favor of It. The plan has attracted world wide attention. Booklets containing the charter have been published by the Commercial club and distributed by the thousand to applicants from Maine to California. President Eliot of Harvard, has evinced such Interest In the plan that he made It the sub ject of special lnjulry on a recent visit to D-s Moines. The adoption of the charter by the metropolis of Iowa marks the begin ning of u new era of civic spirit. It Is also one of the outward evidences of commercial awakening that bids fair to work a business revolution In the middle west. coke is now made only In the district first named. The Wilkeson-Carbonado coal runs high In ash and Is usually washed be fore coking. The llglnlte or sub bituminous coals of Newcastle and Renton, In the South Puget sound field, are generally of high grade and well suited for domestic use. The steamship consumption in the trade with Alaska and the orient Is now the most Important market for the high grade bituminous coals of Wash Ington. HOTTEST WEEK OF SEASON. I tain Badly Needed In Every County In State. The past week was the hottest of the season and maximum tempera tures of 100 degrees occurred fre quently In the eastern counties along the Columbia river. The winds. however, were light and consequently evaporation was not excessive. In the western counties the 11th and 12th were very sultry and oppressive days, although the maximum temperatures were not unusually high, being less than 90 degrees In most localities. On the afternoon of the 12th cloudiness Increased, a few showers occurred, and the temperature on the 13th was much lower In the Willamette valley and In the southern counties west of the Cascade mountains. Rain Is now badly needed in all districts as none of consequence has fallen In the western counties since June 26, and In the eastern counties since June 20. The sunshine has averaged above the normal and In consequence of the protracted period of dry weather for est fires are beginning to be trouble some in a few localities In the Cascade and Coast ranges of mountains.
