Our neighboring town of Hnioni haa all tbe indi"utions of becoming tbe metropolis of tbe Wbite Salmon valley.

On Wednesday there arrived here I be lirst three automobiles that are to be pot 00 a stage line starting from Hingeu to make regular runs between this plane, Trout Lake, and other placet much visited hy summer re sorters. Tbey are powerful machines and well adapted for the purpose for which tbey bave been brought bere Ibis will pot our summer resorts iu to quick connection- and there la nn doubt but tbe owner, Mr. F. E Woods of Vanoonver, will find it a profitable venturr. Mr. Woods will bring bis family bers to reside If be can get a bouse to live in and it cer tainly behooves our property owners to see to It that be has one otherwise be will be compelled to locate else where.

The owner of the property aesired, requested that the head quarters of tbe concern should be here This it would seem is nothing but a fair, squaie business propoeitiou, but was turned down.

Tbe franchisee In existence are tbe only barrier that iuttrture witb tbe city makiug tbe wain or tight business pay fur were existing frauch ises aere disposed of theolty can fully protect itself by refusing to grant otber franchises. W hut makes it difficult for cities to engage in these lines of business is tbe nnwar ranted liberality of tbe elty councils iu granting franobiaee wbicb cannot be cancelled wben the city wauts to go into tbe business itself. Tbt rrameless correspondent of tbe Glaoier may bave extraordinary busi ness acumen and would need mote than he baa exhibited it be could work out bis revenue theory in actual practice. We imagine that tbere are certain expeuses connected with tbe maintenance aad operation of water systems wbicb bis experience bas not covered, for instance tbe much talked of Dalles aysteui has an anuual le- venue of f28,U00 to t30,U00 out of wbiob tbe expeuses are paid and enough left to pay but $5,000 per an num toward reducing tbe tudebted ness, while "Tax Payer" is going to get C9,000 witb a competitive, system uiurv i imo uiH iuihi p eserc revenue and pay a profit of tl900 tb first year. Men who bave tbe ability to bardie business on sny such basis can command much better salaries tbau any of tbe officials of tbe Light it, Water Company draw and a a cen rite him to a number ot good position up on furnishing proper credentials and relereooea. People who bave business to transact are looking bard for just such men. We made r- tel. nee two weeks ago to the bonding of a neighboring city where fhe bends were sold seventeen months too soou aud cost the publio over $17,000 und iu aduitioo to tbla it became necessary to bring legal pro ceedings to get tbe money paid out of the hank wben tbe warranta were drawn. Ibe bank failed a few years later. Ibe oontrcl of money raised by selling oity bonds for building a city water sys'em is a nice banking proposition, especially wbeo tbe source of supply is in suoh a location tbat it la necessary to paa through a lot of valuable farms and Maidens where tbere is apt to be litigation tor right of way which would probably take several years it tba money should be in proper banda wbo ooold keep these right of way matters io ooort at long as tbey wished. $75,000 or $100,000 would help tbe deposit balance amazingly and with tbe ae mand for loans bere would toru a uioe tevenue and tbe longer it lasted tbe ore tbe revenue to the bank. "Muoloipal ownership" and "ma jority rule" are convenient cloaks lor disgruntled and ambitlcua citizen to get under na a pretext tor satisfying their ambitions for revenge, jobs, aud deala whereby tbey can eed at the public orib In case tbe city coes into the water business at any future time aud it is fair to assume that it will do so, there are some necessary changes to be made in tbe city chatter but It Is uot uecetaary to hold mi re tbau one election, all of which will carry witb little or no opposition, whenever tbe proposition . omee up iu a proper and reasonable form and Is put squarely before tbe people The bonded irrigation district iu our midst la uow advertising its tl ird issue of bonds wbile the Urat issue of $00,000 was supposed wben issued to bave hem auffloient to construct the system but the debt will f.e $80,100 more thau tbe original estimate. This indeed, la unfortunate hut toe same is true ot meoy public enterprises, where it Is easy to boud for money aud wben the first Issue Is made and tbe work uot complete, more money must be voted 01 tbat already spent will be lost. Is there a siugle voter iu tbe city, wbo does not believe tbat two thirds of tbe voteia will vote for ibe Improvement whenever tbere is a real demaud or a prospect ot fin milling better service at tbe pre sent rates or as good strvioe for lese mouey or whenever the pie en I com (any n akes at.s that will enable Ibe city to engage in tbe witter busiuess III, a j.lotH Without lm leasing tbe charges. Nobody will object tu mak ing a change tbeu. not eveu tbe t'i r. . sent water corn) auy, as it would be futile to do ao. Now we are opposed to ouly satety clauses in tbe charter being changed for a daugetoua one. We do not want all ot our property torever mortgaged by wbima and fan cies of ambitious individuals wbo have little to do but build schemes for contracting publio indebtedness. H. F. Davidson, Pres. Light A Water Co. High License for l'edder. The new peddler's law, wbiob goes iuto effect about May 20 next, is pretty severe on the peddlers; in fact, it would seem to be prohibitive.
