THE SITUATION.

A careful review of the situation here
and elsewhere shows a condition in the
Grays Harbor country favorable to this
locality, when compared with other
points. This, it is true, is not very boast
full; but it is something worth knowing
in times like these. He who says there
is scarcity of labor for the amount Of
work to be done, deliberately mis-repre-
sents the facts, and works a hardship up
on this locality. But most Of the saw
mills on the Harbor are running, and it
is probable that the shingle mills will
soon start up. The great shortage OF the
salmon pack on the Columbia will, no
doubt, be the cause of all tho canneries
on the Harbor running full capacity,
The resources of this locality have not
shrnnk. We still have the same ''inex-
haustible timber belt," and in that belt is
enough hemlock bark to run tannin ex-
tract factories for centuries, and spruce
for all the paper mills in the country.
These factories are springing up else
We're: Why not here?
This is still just as good country for
small fruits as it was three year ago, and
then it was unexcelled. The strawberry
crop Of the state this year glutted the To-
cal markets. Why not exert ourselves
to secure canneries for our fruit? Plums
and prunes break down the trees with
their weight; yet their is little effort made
by those who might get themselves ten
or fifteen acres of land along the valleys
OF our numerous rivers to make them
selves comfortable homes.
We believe there is work for all, if we
60 about it in the right way and it is the
kind of work that will tell for the good of
this country in the long run. We may
have the riches Of golconda, but they'll
never be worth gol-anything until the
country is developed.

HESTWOOD'S SOUVENIR.

Decent honesty seems to be a rare trait
among too many of the public officials of
this state. There is honesty and honesty.
Honesty of intention and honesty of per-
Torrance. Under which category does
Hestwood's souvenir come? This is a
pamphlet presumably published in the
interest of the resources OF the state OF
Washington, by the state, for distribution
at the worlds fair. 1t work where one
would look for honest treatment OF each
locality Of the state.
From the point of view of its treatment
the book is disgrace to the state, if its
critics may be believed. But it is worse
than this 1t is Islander upon some
sections OF the state at the expense OF
others.
Tacoma is a fine city, and has no
greater admirer than the HERALD; but
there can be no earthly reason or excuse
for devoting ten pages of such pam
phlet to Tacoma and eight lines to Seattle.
Why, in the nan1e of common decency,
should Everett be given two and one-hali
pages and no mention be made Of What
com, Walla Walla, South Bend, Aber-
deem, Hoquiam and Centralia?
The South Bend Journal says of this
contemplate work:
"This showing makes plain the main
scheme OF the book-plain enough to our
own people: it Is mere collection of adj
vertising dodgers open to all who
would pay the printer The publisher
has undertaken viciously to punish those
who declined to pay. On March II last
Mr.. EASTWOOD wrote to Mayor Thomas
Cooper that South Bend could have a
two-page 'write-up' in the Souvenir fol
$500. The offer was not accepted, the
people here not believing that the state
representatives would allow any publ
cation to be distributed in the state build.
ing that did not deal fairly with all local..
ties. The result is shown in the follow
ing single reference to Willapa harbor
'Grays harbor and Shoalwater bay are
the two largest harbors on the Pacific
coast except San Francisco and Puget
sound. They are on the southwest coast
of the state. Shoalwater bay has long
been noted for its production of oysters
amounting to 100000 baskets year and
giving employment to a number Of
schooners and several hundred men dur
ing the season. Its name Indicates its
character as a harbor.'"

MT. AutzeH ITOtests
MoNrEsANo, WASH, July %, 1898.
70 John 0. Wilson and O. Coy, com
missioners of Chehalis county, Washing
ton. Gentlemen 1t appears that on
July 81, 1898, after 5 O'Clock p. M, the
usual time OF adjournment of the board,
and at a time when I, member OF the
board, was not in attendance, yon signed
statement of facts in the matter OF tue
sums of money retained by the county
attorney and ex.county attorney in the
delinquent tax cases. l take this means
of entering an emphatic protest against
your action, for the reasons following
First = The county attorney OF this
county heing an interested party to the
extent of several thousand dollars, is not,
under these circumstances, competent to
impartially prepare statement OF facts
in which his own and the interests OF the
taxpayers are equally repl esented.
Second-The following extract from
said statement OF facts does not recite the
facts: "Whereas, The prosecuting attor-
neys, in making reports to the county
treasurer for moneys collected in said
causes, haye paid and accounted for to
said treasurer the tax, penalty, interest,
costs and expenses in each of said causes,
but have retained the counsel fee in each
case as fixed by court, claiming such fee
| as compensation for extra work in the
foreclosure of said tax cases."
Third-Part of the report OF the county
attorney OF March 80, 1898, recites that
there was collected on lots, lands, etc.,
therein enumerated:
Amount received in settlement
as per this report. ....... 81 100 66
Counsel fees in this report fixed
by the corrt.. ..... ....... 65Z W
$6,448 66
AS only the sum of $1995.66 was paid
into the treasury in connection with said
part of Go. atty's report, maintain
that the prosecuting attorneys in making
reports to the county treasurer for mon
les collected in said causes have not paid
and accounted for to said treasurer the
tax, penalty, interest, cost and expenses
in each of said causes, but have retained
only the counsel fee in each case as fixed
by the court.
Fourth No provision has been made
to have the county represented in this
case by an attorney at law, other than
the county attorney, and / insist that the
pecuniary interest of said county attorney
precludes the possibility Of an impartial
representation OF the facts to the superior
court in his own interests and the inter-
ests OF the county.
Finally TO submit this matter to
the superior court upon a statem ent OF
facts drafted by the county attorney
without representation before said sup
erior court other than the county attor-
ney, in case in which the county attor-
ney and ex-county attorney are defen-
dants, is sacrifice of the peoples inter-
ests to the extent of many thousand dol
lars.
A cause thus conducted can be decided
but one way-in favor Of the defendants.
Respectfully Yours,
PETER AUTzEN.
