With all of our social societies there ought to be a producers' league that can keep in touch with the consumers in our cities, to the end that the middle man may be eliminated. It costs something to raise fruit and vegetables and the grower in order to reserve proper protection ought to devise some measures where by ho can get it.

OAK GROVE During the brief dog day sizzle that visits our Inland Empire about this time, we in this favored valky and especially in this part of it -have the climatic bulge on tho coast regions that complain of the hotness. Old Sol get somewhat overheated out this way on his day's job of painting the apples, pears and peaches, but as soon as he knocks off for tho day, down goes the mercury and on go our outer wraps. Take as a sample August 1. Tho heat touched the season high mark, '.H de grees, at 4 p. m., And then the west ern breeze came sifting through the cool, evergreen forests, lowering the quicksilver to 74 by H p. m., a down ward trip of 2 degrees in four hours. People here don't know what a really hot day is, such as they sulfer in the middle and western part of the conti nentwhere all day the intolerable sun brandishes his, fiery sword over man and beast, and at night leaves them to stew in suffocating humidity, he tires his furnace up for the next day's melt. Hut enough of the weath er. The Hood River article is the best in the market. As to the less favored, let them remember that, after all, any weather is better than no weather.

He's a booster in dead earn est for this valley for its ranch life, for its climate, for its community. Those of us who recently heard Rev Sunday at Woodworth Park at close ranee got some inkling of the secret of his power. It's hia intense earnest ness ana entnuHiasm, joineu ui a iuisu larly fascinating personality and a re markably expressive diction. If you rind bis vocabulary ai umei in a nine on the roughhouse order, you are at the same time inwardly convince that (as Henry Ward Beecher said of anoth er radical) "the Lord made him a little wrong headed in the right dircetion." Billy Sunday is a phenomenal power, armed with the Word that is " fire and a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces." Arthur Cnnning has been over for a few days from hiB homestead at Cooks, Wash., on a visit to his brother, H. A. Cunning. He is looking hearty and husky. If we could climb a tree and look a little in the future, we would be pretty sure to see Arthur driving hia bunches of cattle and droves of hogs down from the Cooks region to the markets of the Columbia valley. So mote it be. James S. King and daughter, Mrs.A. O. Anderson, have returned from a week'B stay at Seaside, where they en joyed the changing wonders of the sea, listened to what its wild waves were saying, and harkened to the music of the mermaids and the carol of the razor-shell clam.

It wasn't made possible to prevent or change the financial giant's affairs, some startling things were learned. For Instance, Mr. Morgan admitted that 180 men had virtual control of about $25,000,000,000.

In the July issue of Public Service, a leading article calls attention tion to alleged discrimination in rates between customers of the munici pal electric plant, and states this discrimination can only be stopped by putting city owned light plants nnder the state public service or mmis- Tbe article also calls attentions to the high street light charges (al most double those of Spokane and Portland, where private companies operate) and says that the plant would show a deficit if the street light ing charge was not so unreasonably high. In conclusion the article says: "It is of particular interest to find these conditions in .Seattle, for here is one of the best opportunities in the country to conduct a success ful municipal plant. There is abundant water power. It is cheap. Fart of the development cost is met by the water department, which sells the w ater after it bus bee i "used to make electricity. It has skilled men in charge of the plant men who are familiar with the needs of the hueinees, and who are capable of operating the plant economically. "Yet w hat do we find? We find that these men are handicapped on the one hand by councilinen who see that six-ceut electricity catches votes, even if it does not pay bills. On the hand are power and light users demanding and getting, special rates for power. Then we see the plant trying to make up this loss by making an exaggerated charge for street lighting, and, through faulty and complicated accounting, hiding further losses. "The excessive street lighting charges in Seattle constitute the fly in ber municipal ointment, just as you will find a similar fly in the oint ment of all plants which boast of extraordinarily low rates. It costs so much money to run an electric plant. Someliody has to pay. If ti e cus tomers do not pay their fair share, the taxpayers must foot the bills. Many municipal plants acknowledge a deficit, and try to wipe it out. Seattle bides hers in her street lighting account, which is merely a polite way of taking 'he taxpayers' money without letting them know just why it has to lie taken." Public Service.
