AWAIT RESULTS OF
GORDON INQUIRY

With the departure of the State
Bar association commission, the
lid has gone back on all local
knowledge of the Root-Gordon in
vestigation and the center of in
terest is now shifted to the coast.
The commission is in Seattle today
and will go to the state capital as
soon as the Seattle end of the
business is finished.
Sympathy here is not extended
very noticeably to Root. The gen
eral opinion Is that he must have
had some strong inducement to
submit what purported to be an
opinion of the supreme court to a
Great Northern counsel, and to
have later filed it as a regular de,
cision.
Attorneys here who have be-
friended Gordon are silent as the
sphinx today. Those who appear
ed before the commission state
that they know nothing about the
case whatever. Gordon has enter
ed h denial at Tacoma.
Attorneys for w. H. Harris, In
whose. case against the Great
Northern Gordon altered Roots de
cision and returned 1t to him, state
that Gordon settled the amount oil
the judgment granted in the supe
rior court. $1.452. and endeavored
to have the plaintiffs refrain from
making any further appearance In
opposition to the company's petit
tion for rehearing of the case
which resulted in modification Of
the supreme courts own decision

REPORT ON NEW
CREMATORY

The new crematory, which has
just been installed, is proving sat
isfactory, according to a report
which Supt. A. w. Merritt this
morning filed with the board of
works. He says
Il have kept close watch during
the entire course of construction,
and am satisfied that all the mate
rial and workmanship furnished is
first class in every respect and
fully up to the terms of the con-
tract. The company has done
many things which were not re-
quired in the contract, which we
deemed necessary for the more
convenient operation of the fur
naces. The piping and everything
about the plant is arranged in the
most convenient manner.
1--WE have been using the new
furnace for about a month, and
find that we can burn much more
material in either of the new fur
naces than in the old one and in
much less time The old furnace
has been removed and remodeled
and conforms to the new furnaces.
Since operating the new plant |
have been able to reduce the force
by one man and saved $85 a
month. The present force is not
overworked. Both runways are
completed through the plant. and
saves considerable time in han
ding the loads

much as 1t would be II each grower
was very far separated, or only . few
growers were to heat. We strongly
urge united action.
With oil we believe that the temper
ature can be raised IL degrees and
that that difference can be maintained
as long as we keep the pots burning
strong and this amount OF heat will
undoubtedly save our fruit crop.
Your committee has had made q
canvass Of the entire community to
see what was tho sentiment regarding
this matter Of heating and to see
whether 1t would be worth while for
MS as q whole to take united and con-
certed action to secure the best re-
suits at the least cost, and commit
tee was appointed to take charge Of
the matter Of raising enough money
to make the investigations necessary
They had $1,000 placed at their dis
posal by the county commissioners.
which was a most commendible ac-
ton, and has enabled your committee
to investigate the matter much more
fully and carefully than could other
wise have been done Messrs. n. L.
Craig and ]. P. Farmer were employed
to canvass the north and the south
sides of the river respectively and
have now practically completed that
canvass, and>a very large proportion
OF the growers have definitely prom
ised to prepare to heat their orchards
next spring in the manner that is out
lined by this report If adopted by the
growers assembled at this meeting
We are very much encouraged at the
progressiveness displayed by all our
growers and the elimination of the
danger of the loss of our crop by frost,
which is now possible and within our
power. has in our opinion added fully
twenty-five per cent to the value Of
! our lands, and our property which
would have been damaged very much
as result Of the two freezes is today
worth not only as much but a great
deal more to us than 1t ever was be-
fore. With the adoption of orchard
growing sections in the world and the
chance. no not the chance, but the
cinch, to make fruit growing one, of
the most profitable enterprise that we
know Of
Method Of Carrying out the Plah
Your committee does not wish to
make any recommendations. but leave
1t to this meeting for action, but say
this: That if we use the Oil it will be
necessary to begin shipping it in here
by November 1st, in order to get it
all here and distributed by March 18th,
and the order for me pots must be
placed practically at once in order to
get them made in time, therefore this
meeting was called now and imme-
diate action is urged.
We do not want to make any specif-
ic recommendation but suggest that
a committee be appointed from this
meeting to confer with dealers who
might be interested in handling this
material. and endeaver to make such
arrangements with such dealers Gas
soon as possible) that in their judg-
ment will most facilitate the purchase
of the supplies at the least cost
