Logging Company to Import Labor.

The population of Thurston county will
be increased to the extent of 500 within
the next six weeks, and this increase will
occur all at one time Thomas Bordeaux,
superintendent of the Mason County Log
ging company, is now arranging for the
immigration to this county of 500 from
Wisconsin, the men to be employed in the
camps of the company in the Black Hills.
Within short time an agent of the COM
pany will leave for Wisconsin to procure
the services of the 500 men and will bring
them west with him at once. The men
are to be expert woodsmen, for which Wis
consin has reputation.
1t is not the intention of the company to
supplant any of the present employees with
the new arrivals, but the business OF the
company by that time will warrant the
employment of the extra men. Their ar
rival will be delayed until the winter
weather has passed.
An increase in the population of Thurs
ion county by 500 at one time is a matter
of considerable moment, particularly when
they are to be employed from the day of
their arrival. With this addition to the
payroll of the county the coming spring
will open most auspiciously for Olympia
and nity.-Olympian.

Death of Emmett MeMillin.

Emmet D. McMillin, was born at
Sugar Grove, Ind. March 18th, 1879.
Came with his parents to Washington.
in 1888. Spent his life moving from
place to place in the itinerancy, first
at Skagit City, then at Coupeville, Ia
coma, Seattle, Fairhaven, Whatcom,
Wash. and Los Angeles, and Goleta,
Cal. and finally at Shelton, where he
passed to better life, Wednesday,
Jan. 18th, at 4:30 p. m. Although
slowly failing for two years with that
dread disease, consumption, which he
contracted while in college at William
cite University in 1897, he never fully
gave up the thought that he would yet
be able to carry out his cherished hope
of entering the ministry and preach to
others, the gospel that was such a COM
fort to himself. His bible, which has
been his constant companion for years,
is peculiarly interesting because of the
many pencil marks, indicating the
passages most attractive to him.
He, will be buried in Tacoma, Friday
at 10 a. m.

c. A. Cushing, president of the Port
Angeles Eastern railway, accompanied
by his wife, arrived in Seattle last
Wednesday, says the Post Intelligent
Ger. They are en- route to Portland to
meet their son, who is returning from
school in California.
''Our railroad is in the best possible
shape" said Mr.. Cushing at the Seat
tie last night. sOur location survey
has been completed as far as Hoods
port. A few days ago was compell-
ed to call in both of our surveying
parties, on account of the wet weather,
which permitted them to work only
about two days week. Just as soon
as the weather settles they will again
enter the field, and complete their
work to Olympia. Our right of way
proves much better than we expected
although instead of being 10 miles, as
we had thought, it will be 1885, miles.
The road will be easy of construction,
duQ luC COSl Will NC IHuCu less Iudu we
anticipated. About the only real rock
work we shall have will be near Pleas
ant harbor. AS soon as the weather
settles we shall begin our grading,
and eight months later shall have
completed the line from Port Angeles
to Olympia. Before the present year
is out we shall be operating through
trains.
1--WE have many applications al
ready for mill sites. My son, Charles
E. Gushing, is building lumber mill
at Port Angeles. Pierson & Son, of
McKeesport, Pa, are also putting up.
a single and barrel mill at the same
place. Other mills will be located at
different points along the line, within
a short time. We shall establish
townsites at various points along our
during the coming summer. Just how
many there will be we cannot tell.
Our road will run through rich tim
Der and agricultural district, and the
principal portion of freight will be
these products.

To Gather Pioneer History.

The State Federation of Women's
Clubs, has requested the local club to
help in the federation work by APP
pointing committees to work along
suggested lines as follows: Educa-
tional and historical, Mary E. Shelton
Cyphert; club extension, Annie Currie;
Library, Nellie Knee1and and Mary
Kneeland. The work of the historical
Committee is to collect and preserve
historical manuscripts, data and relics
OF Mason County, to interview old set
tiers and induce them to write their
recollections of early times, the In
dams where they are connected with
the history, their legends, brave and
noted chieftains; the first school,
church, pictures of representative men
of early times-and women. The
JOURNAL is pleased to see the matter
taken up, and that it has been placed
in the hands of one who is lifelong
resident of Mason County and we'll
quallned to gather the information.
We hope that the old settlers of Mason
County will cooperate with Mrs. Cyph-
ert, furnishing her with information,
relics, or anything that is worthy of
preservation. The JOURNAL has be-
fore considered the matter of conpil-
ing and publishing a history OF Mason
County. but realizing that it would
take much time and careful work to do
it right, has never taken it up. We ex-
pect, from time to time, to publish
such articles as are prepared, that all
old settlers may add to them any
thing they may know to make the
history complete, before its publica-
ton in permanent form, The pic neers
are fast dropping out, and much valu-
able history may be lost entirely if the
work is longer DELAYED.

Judge Hanford has rendered a decis-
ion which is of great interest to lum-
bermen throughout the state, as it
practically denies the legality of con-
tracts to sell timber except by deed.
The court holds that such a sale is in
the nature of real estate transfer.
and cannot be accomplished by con-
tract. The position taken by the
court is novel one in this state, and
will practically nullify any kind of
contract that could be entered into for
the sale of standing timber. The suit
was brought by John G. Nelson, of
Saltwater, Mimi, to secure about
1000 acres of timber for which he had
contracted near Everett, Washington.

To Poor Children.

The little tots who attend the Puma
hou kindergarten school on Beretan1a
street were yesterday given an oppor-

children whose Thanksgiving has no
Joys. The teachers explained wnat
good the children could accomplish II
each brought small quantity OF food
from their homes, already cooked.
Yesterday morning Miss Winnie and
Miss Fernbach were surprised at the
amount the little ones brought.
There were potatoes a-plenty, rice
coffee in packages, besides number
Of little delicacies which the children
by their own experience knew would
be appreciated by those for whom their
gifts were intended. The teachers
after dismissing the children for theiI
Thanksgiving holiday, distributed the
food among number of poor Portu-
guese and Hawaiian families living
near the kindergarten.
