Road Out of Shelton, and Opens

! The articles of incorporation of the
Montesano & Northern Railroad com
pany were filed last week with the coun-
ty auditor. This is the company spoken
of in the last issue of the HERALD. The
articles OF INCORPORATION give the start
| ing point of the road AS the north bank
of the Chehais river, near Montesano,
and the route OF the road provides for
connections with other roads, which will
give direct communication with the
Sound country. The articles also call
for the building of branch up the Wy
nooche valley. This road, as projected,
will tap one of the largest bodies Of tim
ber in the state, and 1t is timber Of a
very superior quality, not exceled any.
where in the state. The road will also
open up a large extent of agricultural
land, which now can be used for little
except stock raising. owing to it, dis.
tance from market, and lack Of suitable
roads for hauling loads over. The own.
ers of the land will also have an incentive
toward clearing and increasing the crop
acreage, as soon as they can properly use
the land.
The building of this road will do more
for this section Of the county than any
thing which has ever been started. The
country through which it will run has
large amounts Of cedar timber, and ex-
perience has shown that it is far more
profitable to cut the cedar into shingles
close to the place where it grows than
to haul or raft it long dist; nee. There
is so much of the tim ber that it does not
pay to take it out in the shape of logs,
shape, that u very large percentage is
lost where the mills are at distance
from the supply. These facts will mean
the establishment OF several shingle mills
along the line of road, and it will, Of
course, be the policy of the road to en-
courage all such enterprises, as more will
be made by the company in hauling the
shingles than it could receive for taking
the timber before it was manufactured
The Sol. Simpson roads are building
in this direction, and it will take but a
few miles Of road building, over a coun-
try which will furnish business for the
roads at all times, for the two lines to
connect, and thus open up large section
of country in Chehalis, Mason and also
in Jefferson counties, now entirely out
OF reach OF any market. When the line
is built up the Wynooche, it will be but
a short distance further over to the
Wishkall country, which section is also
a heavily timbered section, with. rich
land which will make good farms, go
soon as the timber is. removed. The
possibilities which this road will open
up are immense, and hardly calculable.

THE FARMERS Win
FROM ABERDEEN At ELECTRIC
PARK YESTERDAY.
Wee Willie CampbeIl'S Hired Hands
Can Play Ball. AGOOd Game From
Start to Finish, and the Fans Get
Their Moneys Worth. The Score
Stands 4 to 2.

At five o'clockSyesterday afternoon a
man dashed out of the Electric park with
a broad grin on his classic features and
his flaxen hair flying and sent message
to the fans of the village located at the
forks OF the Wynooche and Chehalis
rivers.
That eager messenger was Wee Willie
Campbell, and the message was the
duplicate of Caesars famous epistle, for
it told the fans OF victory for the farmers
who have laid aside the reaping hook
and grubbing hoe to play hall. And a
mighty close victory it was, too; SO
close that several times Willie forgot to
yell and was wobby in the knees, for
just one lttlesstingy hit would have tied
the score and prolonged the agony Of
Willie and his hired hands. The occa-
sion for all this was the fight between
Willie's hired hands from the farm and
Dad Browns Pippins out at Jay Crary's
new park. The farmers showed the
effects of their early training and gathered
in the Pippins "just as easy" The game
was good one, and considering the con-
dition Of the grounds was fast.
The seven hits of the visitors were
punched at critical stimes and produced
two earned ruus and two that were not
earned, while the home team, with six
hits could get but one earned run and
one other presented by Dick Boettiger,
just to show that he was good fellow
The Farmers made run in the first and
one in the sixth. The Pippins got me n
on the bases in nearly every inning, an
as they died there it began to look like a
shut out. In Aberdeen's half of the
sixth, Whalen, who had made a two
bagger in the first, stepped up to the
plate with brand new home run, ordered
for the occasion, and knocking the ball
over the left field fence saved many of
the Aberdeen fans: from making errors
by having fits, using swear words. etc, ,
over the bad luck of their favorites.
Aberdeenl made another run in the
eighth when Boettiger, in trying to make
fancy play, threw the ball to player
"who was not there" allowing Whalen
to score from third.
There is no denying the fact that
Montesano has fast bunch of bail play
ers and the team that takes the pennant
from them must ego come.
Aberdeen's short stop, Harper, played
the game without an erros, but with the
nail OIL the first finger OF his right hand
torn almost off, the result of als accident
in the game at Montesano a week ago.
Sullivan, the new third baseman, seemed
to be a good man; he acts like cool,
steady ball player.

While the question Of increasing
the judicial circuits is most impor.
tant one, yet in considering changes
in the courts, the jury system is far
more N need OF reform than anything
else. The system itself, perhaps, is
all right, or at least it will do, but the
reformation should be in the matter
4of qualification for jury service. AT
present the qualification to vote is
practically the only requisite. Moral
character and mental ability are rare.
ly considered in drawing juries. There
are, too, hundreds of otherwise good
citizens in the State who purposely
avoid qualifying themselves to serve.
It ought to be possible to reach this
Glass and o0mpel them. Whether
measures can be done or not certainly
measures can be taken to keep incom-
petents off, and no time ought to be
lost in doing that. After reform is
made in this respect there will be
time plenty to consider whether more
judges arc needed, or whether oondi-
tions cannot be met if present courts
will dispose Of more business before
them. Undoubtedly, something can
be done on this line.
