Catholic Church, Be Err eced At Rockwell at Cost OF


Much credit is due the pastor, Rev
Father Burns, for the material growth
and prosperity of Rockwell during his
residence among us. His pastorate
covers a period of twenty years, and
in that time he erected the first Sacred
Heart church at a cost OF $4,000
which was destroyed by fire veal
ago; Sacred Heart academy in 1901, al
a cost OF $4,000; a $4,000 parochia
residence and expended a sum fully
equalling the latter in hall, cement
walks and minor improvements. Fa-
Their Burns has an assistant in the
work now, Rev. Father Clune, a most
popular and worthy gentleman.

Representative Slayden, of Texas,
during the consideration of the naval
appropriation bill in the house, adj
dressed that body on the subject OF the
recent war talk between Japan and the
United States, and laughed at the rum
ors of war out of the chamber.
Among other things, he said:
"Altho we are at peace with all the
world and the rest of mankind as a
president of the United States is re-
ported to have said. the air is thick
with rumors Of war. Our friends, who
represent the Pacific coast on the floor
of the house, are frightened almost
into state Of nervous collapse over

Mr.. Slayden referred to the financial
condition Of Japan, and declared that
"as one who cannot appreciate the i'm
minence of this danger" it was his duty
to contribute his mite toward restoring
their mind.
Mr.. Slayden called attention to the
treaty Of peace which brought the
Russo-Japanese war to an end and de-
clared that the Japanese made a treaty

BRYAN AxpROOSEYEL1
Two DISTINGUISHED LEADERS
COMPARED BY TAFT.
Are in Accord Only on the Surface
They Favor Railroad Regulation
for Different Reasons. A Strona
Capitalization of Government,
Against JefferSOnian Democracy.

In his keynote speech at Column
bus, Secretary Taft, Mr.. Roosevelt's
candidate for the succession. charac-
terized the essential principles for
which Bryan and Roosevelt stand.
as vastly different. 1t is true
characterization. These men seem
to be in accord in some respects, but
it is only upon the surface that they
are so. Mr.. Roosevelt, for instance,
favors national regulation of rail
roads, and SO does Mr. Bryan; but
Mr.. Roosevelt favors it as function
of a strong centralized government,
whereas Mr.. Bryan favors it as an
unavoidable step in the direction of
government ownership by govern
ment of, by and for the people.
Wherein the policies of these two
men are similar in form, or identical,
as in this case, the same difference
will be found to exist essentially.
Both may at times resort to similar
means to attain their ends; but their
ends are Numerically opposed, and
the means they adopt, though in
form sometimes the same, move in
opposing directions. Roosevelt stands
for Hamiltonism, Bryan for Jeffer-
sOnism. Bryan would have the gov
ernment do it's own business instead
of farming it out; he therefore fa-
vors government ownership of the
great highways of the country. He
would leave individuals free to do
their own business without obstruc-
ton, and therefore favors free trade.
But Roosevelt would allow private
interests to continue to manage such
public business as the highways, and
the government to interfere by
means of protective tariffs with
such private business as foreign
trade. In accordance with the same
opposition of purpose Roosevelt
would legaliZe trusts and regulate
them, whereas Bryan would extermi-
nate them altogether by extracting
from their assets those elements of
governmental power which give them
their evil potency. Mr.. Roosevelt's
position is well represented by Sec
retary Taft, and was ably eXpounded
in Mr.. Taft's Columbus speech-more
definitely than by Roosevelt at Prov
incetown. If you look through Taft's
speech for an indication of any pur-
pose to have the government do the
public business itself and leave in
diVidualS free to do private business
themselves, you will look in vain.
The whole speech is consistent plea
for the opposite purpose. Not so
with Mr.. Bryan's speeches. In every
political speech that Mr.. Bryan
makes, his support of one feature or
the other, if not of both, features of
this purpose, is clear. A presidential
campaign with Mr.. Bryan on one side
and Mr.. Taft on the other-or, better
still, and as it is extremely likely
to be, with Mr.. Roosevelt on the
other, representing his own purposes
instead of having them represented
by Mr.. Taft-would draw with un-
usual distinctness this primary issue
of present day politics.

A BRUTAL MURDER
Frank Todd. Logging Foreman,
Slain at His Home in Ho.
quiam Saturday
Night.

Frank Todd, camp foreman of the
Hoquiam Logging & Mercantile COM
pany, was foully and brutally mur-
dered at his home, 1924 Washington
avenue, some time between the hours
of o'clock and midnight, Saturday
night. The body was found by Mrs.
Todd lying in the woodshed at the
rear of the house shortly after 5
O'Clock Sunday morning, and it was
then stiffened and cold.
Examination of the corpse showed
the SKULL one above the right temple
and two at the base of the brain,
with weapon resembling in charac-
ter a carpenters hatchet or pole axe
All three blows had penetrated the
skull, and either one was in itself
sufficient to cause death.
Absolutely no clue so far has been
discovered which would lead to the
identity, not even the weapon with
which the death blows were dealt
and the only apparent motive for the
murder is robbery. Three of the
mans pockets were turned inside out,
showing that they had been gone
through.
Frank Todd was nearly 46 years of
age, and had been resident of Ho-
quiam since 1898, where he married
Miss Ethel Brown in 1894. He was
in the employe of Lytle Bros. for the
past twelve or thirteen years, and
was one of the most popular and val
ued logging foreman on Grays Har-
Dor, and was not known to have an
enemy on earth.

A pulp and PAPER
IMPORTANT INDUSTRY SEEKING
ESTABLISHMENT IN ABERDEEN
Proposition is Made to Erect Larde
Paper and Wood Pulp Mill by Los
Angeles Capitalists That Would
Employ Hundreds of People and
Use Waste Material,

The arrival of Greeley Kolts and J. G,
w. Stanley from Los Angeles last week
was the outcome OF work done by the
Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce, Secre.
tary Crissey having been in correspond.
with the parties for the past six months,
and their project, should it be successful,
will mark an epoch in the industrial
history OF Aberdeen.
On Friday articles OF incorporation
were filed OF the Pacific Coast Wood
Pulp and Paper Co., bv Greeley Kolts,
j. G. W. Stanley and w. B. Mack, with
capital slock of $1,000 900. Messrs.
Kolts and Stanley have with them two
miniature paper and pulp mills, which
they are setting up in the room next to
the Grand Central hotel, and which
though small, will show the manufacture
OF paper and pnIp from the wood to the
finished product.
The industry being new in this section,
the'company has in press prospectus,
showing in the planest language and
figures just what such an industry will
cost and produce, as we'll as the profits
sure to accrue to the stockholders.
The estimated cos; OF the plant is about
100000, and will have weekly capacity
OF 1S0 tons of Manila wrapping paper,
100 tons of newspaper, 100 tons OF wood
pulp, and 100 tons of pulp board. To
run the plant and transport material will
require from six to eight hundred men.
The Pridham Paper Box Co., OF Los
Angeles, is behind the proposition to the
extent OF an offer to take the entire pulp
board product Of the mill for five years,
and as there are but four paper mills on
the entire Pacific Coast, the market tol

posed to use the sawdust and other waste
material from the saw mills-which can
be placed at the mill at an extremely
low cost-and the price on paper on the
coast is always plus the freight from the
east, it will eadiy be seen that. in the
hands of experienced people. the propo-
sition is an alluring one to the mill men
and the general investor.
In few days the small machines will
be running and the company invites the
public to call aud witness the making OF
paper from sawdust and wood. Mr..
Stanley is a paper mill man OF more than
25 years experience. and is the inventor
and patentee of several important i'm
provements in paper making machinery,
that are in genaral use in Great Britain
and the United States.
