Every sailor, except the Japanese. con

dull moments are scarce. A British or
American tar may get chock full and run

Usually the Russian is about twice

He has no more show than a SNOWFALL IN

upon fists alone the fight would never
have ended.
The Japanese sailor's idea Of fair play
is even stricter than the American and
British idea He disapproves Of big man
pitching onto smaller ono even though
the latter may be abe 10 protect himself.
In fight that occurred in tins city be-
tween two American soldiers, the Japs
showed their idea Of fair play. One Of
the combatants was big hnllsing fellow
and the other a why, active chap, much
smaller. When the big man landed a
hard blow the crowd of Japs invariably
Kissed, but they yelled with delight when
the little man landed and when he finally
knocked out his opponent, they carried
him on their shoulders to the nearest tea
house and filed him with liquid refresh
ment.
In San Francisco two little Jap sailors
neatly laid out six hulking ruffians that
tried to bulldoze them as they do the
Cinnamon. The little fellows tried ia
avoid trouble, but when it was forced on
them they went into the fight with vim
and did not let up until they had put al

a dispatch from Vancouver, Wash,
says that George $. Long Of Tacoma, man
ager Of the Weyerhaeuser Timber compa-
ny, whose headquarters are in tliis city, is
in Clarke county looking up the matter Of
putting in logging roads and camps to
handle the timber to be cut off the burned
tracts in northern Clarke and southern
Cowlitz counties. Mr.. Long is anxious to
have the work commenced at once, as the
timber must be got of the tracts as soon
as possible. 1t is the intention OF the com
pany to run the logs to Vancouver lake,
about four miles above this city, and there
raft them, afterward sending them to
Portland. 1t is confidently expected that

paDy in the near future at or near Van

CUSHMAN FAVORS
AMERICAN LAKE

WASHINGTON, D. a., Feb. IA
hearing was given by the house commit
tee on military affairs yesterday on the
question of establishing an army camp site
in the state of Washington. Representa-
tives Cushman and Jones addressed the
committee, the former favoring the Am
eriean lake site near Tacoma, and the lat
ter the site near Spokane.
Mr.. Cushman argued that the American
lake site would be far more advantageous
site for the mobilization o troops in case
of war, for it not only has more railway
facilities. but is near tide water.
Both Mr. Cushman and Mr.. Jones said
however, they were willing to waive per
sonal preferences, leaving the choice of a
site to the commute, so long as the site j,
located in the state of Washington.

Thirty sections of logs belonging to
Edward Brown, we'll known Jefferson
county logger, broke loose from their
moorings at Port Discovery Sunday night
by storm which swept over the bay. The
logs represented seasons work in the
Brown camp. A large number of men are
engaged in saving as many of the sticks
as possible and it is thought that the
greater portion may be recovered, as the
bay is 10 miles long and it requires some
time for the tides to carry them to sea.
