COUNTY Wise HEADS
OPPOSE ANY ATTEMPT TO ALLOW
COUNTY TO BENEFIT BY FAIR
Would Rather Jockey With a Ten
Cent Advertising Contract Than
Allow the County to Assume It's
Proper Place as an Important Part
of the State of Washington.

The board of county commissioners
was in session three days last week, the
most important business of which was
the consideration of proposition made
by l.. w. Wade to furnish the county
with N. P. estimates on about l4O 600
acres OF timber lands in the county fer
assessment purposes. As if to forestall
Mr.. Wade, r q. Long, OF the Weyer.
haeuser Timber Co. offered to furnish
the estimates Of his company on the
lands, and was invited to do so on July Is,
at which date Mr.. Wade will De present
to compare estimates.
II. ID. Chapman was appointed justice
OF the peace for Chehalis precinct.
The Henry McCleary Co. was allowed
to use part of the Mox Chehalis road
for logging.
Saloon licenses were granted Edw.
Lycan, Moc'ips, and Won Bargen & Phil

White & Co., Oakvile, was refused.
W. H. Smith received the contract for
glavelng the Ocosta-Jo ohns River road,
at 631a cents per yard.
Mourant q Watson were awarded the
contract for building the Westport dock,
at Is cents a foot for piling, and $1l so

or Hall was instructed to make the tres
ties in this road l6 feet instead of l2.
The auditor was directed to advertise
for bids for building bridge across the
Chehalis river at Porter; to extend the
jetty at Black creek; to open the Now.
bray road, and to clear out the Cosmopo.
lis-Melbourne road.
Alvin Porter was appointed justice of
the peace at Elma, vice Vim. Booth, re-.
signed.
A petition was filed asking for road
to connect the Hoquiam- London and
Humptulips roads.
A request for an appropriation of $500,
for the purpose of Advertising Chehalis
county on Grays Harbor day at the Port
land exposition, made by committee
representing all the commercial organi-
cations in the county, was refused by the
board, on the ground that, while they
might be inclined to favor an appropria.
ton for display during the exposition,
they did not think one day affair would
justify it. They evidently forgot to re-
member that petition asking them to
provide for county exhibit was denied
more than two months ago. But, the
Chehalis county citizens who return
from the exposition ashamed of the
penny wise, pound foolish policy that
left one Of the best counties in the state
unrepresented there, will not be 80 apt
to forget 1t.
DR.. I. R. Watkins, Of Aberdeen, was
appointed county physician.
The following sums, agreed upon by
arbitration, were paid for right of way
on the Aberdeen. Montesano road: Mrs.
M. L. Nethery, $3.50; L. P. Astrom,
$ll9; Geo. Turner, $136; Chas. Neeson,
$25.
After allowing number of current
bills, and referring several road matters
to the different commissioners, the board
adjourned.

FROST.BITTeN.
Grays HarbOr Day at Exposition
Abandoned bv the Committee.

abandoned by the Committee.
The committee appointed by the allied
commercial organizations of the county
at Hoquiam Monday evening, met Fri.
day night in Elks hall, and decided to
abandon the projected excursion from
this county on June 20, Grays IHarbor
Day.
This action was the result of the re-
fusal of the county commissioners to
appropriate public funds for advertising
the industries and resources of the coun-
ty on the occasion.
1t was not so much the failure to secure
the $500, as the moral frost.bite it gave
the enterprise. AS mere matter Of
money, the meeting at Hoquiam at first
outlined plan that would have readily
produced $3.50 for the purpose, but when
it was suggested that every dollar was to
be spent for the benefit of the whole
county, and that it would be unfair to
ask the few liberal ones to stand the
cost, the justice of the proposition struck
everyone present, and it was decided to
ask for public money, SO that all would
share alike in the cost and benefits.
The refusal OF the insignificant sum by
the board simply acted as a wet blanket
on the entire proposition, and men whom
the day before would have cheerfully
contributed concluded that the commits
sioners took them for a lot of easy
money and decided to fool them. If
there is any credit to be taken for the
failure of Chehalis county to appear in a
creditable manner, either with an exhibit
or at demonstration June 26, the com.
missioners are entitled to the whole of it.

FOR THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH
Expert Would Use Trees In Short-Dis-
tance Transmission.

Expert Would Use Trees In Short-Dis-
lance Transmission.
One of the most interesting sug-
gestions made recently in connection
with wireless telegraphy is that of
Major G. o. Squier, of the United
States army signal corps. who be-
lieves that for short-distance trans
mission trees can be used as substi-
tutes for the aerial wires usually en-
ployed. Major Squier's plan is to con-
meet the apparatus by wires to iron
nails driven In the base or the tree
from which the radiations would be
emitted. While the tree would hardly
be as satisfactory as more perma-
nent arrangement of wires. yet In a
military campaign it might answer for
many purposes where the army is
operating In a country barren Of
trees, but here return may be made
to the older method of employing
iointed poles or kiteSSor balloons to
raise the wires. In connection with
Major Squiers suggestion the point
has been made that the difficulties of
wireless telegraphy in transmitting
messages overland would be increased
by the presence of an intervening for
est, and should this be the case the
operation of wireless telegraphy may
be restricted greatly. - Harper's

FABLE or THE WISE HEN.

How She Discounted an Arbitration
Committee and Avenged Deceit.
Once upon time Every recently
men went upon strike and refused to
lay. Other hens followed her example
and the scarcity Of hen fruit which re-
suited caused eggs to retail for some
thing like 30 cents per dozen. In 9TH
err words, strictly fresh eggs laid by
scab hens were worth about cents
each In the shell. Even cold storage
eggs. which were deadly explosive and
had to be handled with care, brought
80 cents.
The people got together and remon-
strated with the hens. but 1t did no
good. Finally an arbitration commit
tee waited on the hens and tried to
persuade them to go back to work.
The arbitration committee pointed out
that only the rich can afford to eat
eggs, but the hens refuse- to work
The arbitration committee then told
the hens that If they persisted in the
strike they would bring race suicide
on themselves.
Then wise old-hen arose and spoke
as follows:
I'm the spring when US hens wish to
sit the people give us porcelain door
knobs to sit on. II porcelain door
knobs are as good as eggs to sit on
they ought to be as good to eat as
eggs. Tell the people to eat porcelain
doorknobs."
The arbitration committee could not
answer this argument and departed in
tears.
Moral-Deceit will come home to
roost.

A Doubling Heart.

Where are the swallows fled?
Frozen and dead
Perchance upon some bleak and stormy
shore.
o doubling heart!
Far over purple seas,
They wait In sunny ease,
The balmy southern breeze
To bring them to their northern homes
once more.
Why must the flowers die?
Prisoned they lie
In the cold tomb, needless of tears or
rain.
o doubling heart!
They only sleep below
The soft white ermine snow
While winter winds shall blow,
To breathe and smile upon you soon
again.
Fair hope Is dead, and light
Is quenched in night
What sound can break the silence of de.
spair?
o doubling heart!
The sky Is overcast,
Yet stars shall rise at last.
Brighter for darkness past,
And angels silver voices stir the air.

ADVANTAGE of Mind intercourse.

We are apt to overestimate the
value OF an education gotten from
books alone. A large part of the
value of a college education comes
from the social intercourse of the stu
dents, the reinforcement. the buttress-
ing OF character by association. Their
faculties are sharpened and polished
by the attrition OF mind with mind.
and the pltting of brain against brain,
which stimulate ambition, brighten
the ideals, and open up new hopes
