TO BUILD GOVERNORS HOME
Commission Gets Down to Work
at Olympia

OLYMPIA, July 1S.-Construction
of the governors mansion will be be-
gun just as soon as it is possible to
do so. Following upon the heels OF
the decision of the supreme court de-
claring the old territorial capitol
grounds state property. the public
building commission lost no time in
getting operations under way. The
commission, named by the law pro-
viding for the erection. of the man.
sion, consists of Governor Albert E.
Mead, State Treasurer George G. Mills
and State Auditor c. w. Clausen. Mr..
Mills is chairman of the commission.
The commission made a personal in
spection of the old grounds with
view of locating the site of the struc-
ture. Nothing definite was decided
upon. Instead it was decided to make
thorough investigation to ascertain
whether at the time the plans for a
million dollar capitol were drawn
some landscape plan was decided upon
20 carry out a definite idea for the
location of the governors mansion or
other buildings in harmony with the
big capitol.
1t is generally believed that such d
plan was made, but if none is found
the commission. Will proceed with a
view of harmonizing the governors
home building with the architectural
idea of the capitol so that nothing in
congruous will result
The construction of the home is
contingent or the sale of the warrants
drawn upon the capitol building fund
for $4,000 of which the state guaran-
bear five per cent interest and will
be readily saleable.
At the time the mansion warrants
are put up for sale the proposed is
sue of 100000 for improvements to the
state capitol will also be put up. The
latter bear only four per cent interest
but when offered with the other issue
will make an average rate of 4 1-2
per cent interest should one firm pur-
chase the entire $4,000 worth
The members of the commission are
hopeful for the prompt sale of the
warrants and for the early construc-
ton of the mansion

Savings banks deposits nave beer. the

ais of money from these institutions
during the past twelve months have
been the heaviest that the banks have

Where does this money go?
The answer is not difficult to find.
The stream of money flowing from
the reservoirs of the peoples savings
in every part of the United States has

FOOLISH FARM HANDS.

There has been some complaint
among the farmers that men are hard
to get and harder to hold because of
their desire 20 keep moving. Through
this reStleSsnesS, numbers of men

then leave for other sections, partic-

ASKS FOR DAMAGES.
n. c. Adams Declares Dam Damages
Some of His Property.

H. G. Adams, a farmer living near
Touche., filed papers with the clerk
of the county court through his at
torneys PedigO & Bryson, yesterday
praying damages from the Columbia
Canal company to the amount of $1,000
and that an injunction be served upon
said company to prevent it from
building certain dams which he alleges
would be of further damage to him.
Adams asserts he was done $1,000
worth of damage by the building of
the Columbia Canal company's dam
near the Nine Mile county bridge
This dam, he alleges. had the effect of
backing water up on certain of his
lands and rendering them untillable.
The case will be heard in the SUI
perior court next week.

HARTMAN ROAD IN SEATTLE
New Oregon and Washington Line
Is Connecting Link

PORTLAND, Or, July 18.-Final
plans have just been completed for the
entry of the Oregon & Washington
railroad into Seattle ard Tacoma,
which assure the success of one of the
most important railroad projects ever
undertaken in this section. To Port
land, where the Oregon & Washington
will connect with the Southern Pacific
and the Oregon Railroad & Naviga-
ton company lines, the new Hartman
road has been laid out especially for
the handling of fast and heavy traf-
fic over the two hundred miles that
separate Puget Sound and the Column
hia river.
Into Seattle the Oregon & Washing
ton will enter by a tunnel more than a
mile long to avoid congestion of traf-
fic on the waterfront streets. For a
different reason the Hartman engi-
neers found it necessary to run their
lines underground into Tacoma as
well. The grades of the route original
ly plotted for Tacoma were so heavy
that orders were issued for the sur
veying of line that would avoid the
rises of the Tacoma table-land that
any road from the south must cross
Or climb. The decision of the engi-
neers was not to climb at all, but to
go under the city by a tunnel $500 feet
long.

capacity for self government in the

therefore, be elected by a few politi-
