Mason County News.

sHELroN, June 9.-[Special. ALLEN c. Mason,
who is largely interested in the Mason County
Central railroad, was in town last week, looking
over the situation. The report is now given out
that work will be begun at once on an extension
of four miles to this road into larger body of
timber.
The logging situation remains unchanged at
this writing, but the outlook is somewhat better
than 1t has been. Several RATS of logs have left
Shelton in thu past two weeks. The Port Blake
ley road near here is, however, working seven
camps at present and putting in about 100 car
loads OF logs daily for the Port Blakeley mill.
The second game OF baseball between the
Union City and Shelton clubs was played yes
terday, and resulted in score of to 10 in favor
of the former. The game was good one and
shows that the boys are getting down to busi-
ness, against IL to is for the first game. The
score OF the last seven innings stood to in
favor of Shelton, but owing to one or two rank
decisions in the early part of the game the
Union Citys held the lead. The players are
quite evenly matched and the game a week
fIom next Sunday promises to be a close and
exciting one.

A NEW MILLS BILL COMING.
The Great Texas Free Trader on the
Policy of His PARTY.

wAsHISGroN CITY. June Especial l-Roger
O. Miils Is here and will remain two or three
months, engaged in the preparation of tariff
compendium. To a reporter Mills unbosomed
himself, and said that he was going 10 be the
next speaker. Speaking of the work of the next
congress, Mills outlined continuation of the
free trade policy as follows:
We will have tariff and a tariff only for reve-
nue.. Coal, ores, wool and tin plate will go on
the free list, and other changes that the Demo
catic party has wanted for years will be made.
1t will institute and maintain with
England closer trade relations, and
that viii be more profitable for the
manufacturer and the farmer. We want
reciprocity with countries of importance, rather
than with the miserable little south American
provinces The interest of our party in tariff
reform has never lessened. We are only wait
ing for an opportunity to assert ourselves. Itis
q topic dear to Democrats.
Cleveland is in the lead for presidential IA
vors down in my state. We have had no con-
yention yet, and no definite expression of the
party on the subject. The new party won't in
lure us any. After we give them thrashing.
that is if they ever get in the field, they will not
trouble any person.
