State Press Association.

Owing to the floods and perhaps to
the hard times i'll country newspaper
dom, the attendance at the annual
meeting Of the State Press associa-
ton, at Olympia, this week was much
smaller than usual. The Olympians
made full preparations and welcomed
the visitors, making the entire visit
agreeable to all. Wednesday after
noon one Of the old-time clam bakes
was given at. Buffers Cove, in which
several hundred people joined the
Editors in a good time. The affair
was a success in all particulars, and
our only regret is that all the frater-
nifty were not present to enjoy the oc-
casion. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, the veteran newspaper man,
John MILLER Murphy; vice presidents,
J. OBJ. Scobey, E. c. Suffer and Dirk
Blaauw; Secretary and Treasurer,
Will A. Steel, city Editor, Seattle
Telegraph; Orator, J. OBJ. Scobey;
Poet, Will Visscl1er; Historian, Chas.
Prosch, the founder of the States
first newspaper at Olympia in the SOS.
Executive Committee: James Nj.
Vernon, J. Hannun Jones, F. Ed
ridge, J. w. Divilbiss and Grant C.

The School Election

The local school election last Mon
day was an object of considerable
interest, and the vote was the largest
ever polled in Shelton, 424, against 43
cast last year The tickets in them
selves were both composed of good
material for school officers, but the
contest was mainly over alleged is
sues of more or less truth, between
the various factions. Religious ques-
tons were sprung on the one hand and
on the other that the alleged county
ring and social elements were taking
more than necessary interest in the
election, as contest of respective
strength. Against any of the candi-
dates there could be no question of
personal fitness or honesty of pur-
pose, but the impression was strong.
not without good cause, that the
ring" were endeavoring to strength
en- its cause by electing candidates in
opposition to those first nominated
against their wishes.
The JOURNAL firmly believes that
regardless Of political, social or any
other affiliations, the people of this
county will express their desire. for
retirement of every one of this alleged
county combination, on every occasion
of the ballot, and the recent school
election we regard as such an express
sion, rather than anything else.
The vote stood as follows: Director
3 years, W. B. Eaton, 257; Miss Lib
bic Amber, 161; director year, Al. ].
Munson, 255; Mrs. Eliza Sheedy. 161:
Jerk, Ralph Potts, 255; David Shell
ton, 1914. Nearly all the loggers were
brought down to vote, and few ladies
but awaited themselves of the priyi-
lege. Although considerable chal1eng-
ing was done, and q large Number
voted, The election passed off smoothly
and without trouble.

To RAISE THE DROWNED.-A very
effective method of rising the drowned
used on the lakes of New YORK and
elsewhere, and which can be used to
advantage on our rivers, is given us
by gentleman of experience and is as
follows: Take mitigation fruit jar,
fill it half full of uns1acked lime, then
put on the rubber and screw the metal
top peri ect1y alright. Perforate the
top with small holes, attach d weight
and sink the jar in the locality where
the body of the drowned person sup-
posed to be. AS the water seeps into
the jar the lime gradually becomes
Stacked and generates a gas which in
ten minutes time will cause an ex-
p1osion with the force of dynamite,
raising every object TO the surface
within a radius of fifty feet. Those
who have seen the operation ay it has
never failed to bring the desired re-
sults.--Review.
