Florence, May 22-(Special Core

was not much in Florence this week.
but climate" and it certainly is all
that any one could ask The sun
is not too affectionate in its beaming
down on our quiet town but suffi
GENTLY warm to be comfortable. The
nights are cool and balmy, which is
soothing to all of us people who feel
thankful that we are living in the
beautiful Florence country, with an
abundance of natures wealth Our
only handicap is not sufficient water
We hope soon to have the government
to commence the retaining of the
thousands of acres of as rich land as
the sun ever shone on, and with less
expense than in the wonderful Roose-
welt project.
The San Carlos is not really so hard
a country to get into and when we see
what water has done for the Salt river
farmers, we are more than anxious
that Uncle Sam will start work i'm
mediately on the San Carlos storage
dam, throwing this rich land open to
the thousands Of people who are living
in crowded cities breathing manufac-
tured air. instead of the pure ozone of
this clear atmosphere where We have
no need of steam heaters and only
need fire few weeks of the year and
that only nights and early morning
We have no ruthless tornadoes to de-
stroy or disfigure; no grimy coal dirt
to blacken our linen and ruffle our
temper. We do have plenty of sand
disturbed at this season of the year.
but that purifies the atmosphere and
is a necessity. as a good many people
who have lived in Arizona long enough
seem to be short on that article.

T. J. BELL PROPOSES
ADVERTISING SCHEME

OLYMPIA, Jan. 23.--A gigantic
advertising movement, including ev-
cry county in the state of Washing
ton, is possible under the provisions
of bill introduced in the house to-
day by Representative Bell of Pierce
county.
1t is the plan to "plaster" the east
and middle west with literature set
ting forth the advantages of the;
great and resourceful state of Wash
ington. Under the provisions of the
bill each county will superintend it's
own advertising bureau, the coun-
ty commissioners being given full
charge.
To provide the money to conduct
the advertising scheme. Mr.. Bells
bill proposes tax levy not to ex-
ceed one-tenth of 1 mill on the dol

COMMITTEE ON ROADS
TALKS ON FINANCING

OLYMPIA, Jan. 22.-The roads
and bridges committee of the house
discussed the plan of State High
way Commissioner ]. M. Snow to in
crease the tax levy for highways
from p mill to 1 mill Thursday. 1t
was believed by members of the COM
mittee that state roads now under
construction must be completed and
plans for providing funds were talk
ed over.
The plan most favored is to have
counties issue bonds to pay for road
building and to have the state re-
imburse the counties from the pro-
ceeds of the annual levy.
Representative Charles F. Kayser,
Senator Alexander Poison and Com
missioner Snow were appointed to
decide upon the best method of fin
ishing the roads already begun.

CHEHALIS COUNTY BUILDING
A Building That Will. Afford Room
for Exhibits and Be Credit
to the County.

The aoove plate of the. Chehalis
county building for the A. Y. p. ex-
position gives a complete view i'll
/ Guiding the Black Cat on the roof,
and was especially prepared for the
rtess by the A. Y. p. commission of
Chehalis county. The building was
designed by Arachitects Troutman
and Leather of this city. 1t will be
| a structure Of fifty feet front, eigh-
ty feet deep, the interior of the
building being 50X7O feet, ten feet
OF the front being occupied by the
porch. The architrave of the build
| ing tells its own magnificent story.
1 In the foreground are the fisher
man drawing their nets, emblamat-
ical of that important industry on
this harbor. The frieze shows a le-
gend of much meaning. In the CEN
ter is the mill with the log being
drawn up the chute. On the right
is the ship lying to take the cargo
off the piles of lumber lying on the
dock, and on the left the locomotive
and train. This forms a splendid il
lustration of the numbering indus
try at this time. The circle of the
architrave shows the shaft of wheat,
the lamb and the COW, emblems of
the growing agricultural industry Of
the county. These were the results
of the suggestion of the Chehalis
County Commissioner, Mr.. H. D..
Chapman, and will add greatly to
the meaning of the building. This
work will be wrought on the front
in the highest class of mast work,
and the building will be construct
ed to conform with the splendid
buildings in its vicinity. On the
top will appear a Black Cat, en-
blem of the Hoo-Hoo, particularly
appropriate to this region.

GRAND JURY MAY BE CALLED
IN ROOT-GORDON CASE

SPOKANE, Jan. 23.-'I predict
the recommendation of the State
Bar association that grand jury
be called by the superior judges of
Spokane county to inquire into the
RoOt-Gordon matter will be carried
out in a few days" said Prosecuting
Attorney Pugh today on his return
from the coast, where he made an
investigation which resulted in the
arrest of M. j. Gordon on the charge
of embezzling $4,000 from the Great
Northern.
Filling the embezzlement charge
can not be considered in any sense
as move to take the place of call
ing a grand jury" he continued. "It
is apparent that with a grand jury
making its investigation it might be
necessary to have the subject Of the
inquiry on hand"

JUDGE GORDON ARRESTED.
Former Judge of State Supreme
Court is Charged With Mis-
appropriating Funds.

TACOMA, Jan. 22.-M. j. Gordon,
one time justice of the supreme court
of the state of Washington, more
lately of counsel for the Great
Northern railroad, was arrested here
last night on a charge of embezzel-
mcnt.
The warrant was issued in Spo-
kane upon an information filed by
The Great Northern Railroad COM
pany. The specific charge is that
Gordon misappropriated the sum of
5000 on or before July 80, 1908,
ant, to settle judgment in the per-
sonal injury suit of Sparrow against
the Great Northern Railway. The
warrant was served by Deputy Sher-
if Clarence Long, of Spokane.
The alleged wrong doing of Cor
don in the case of Sparrow was laid
before the Bar Association commit
lee which recently investigated Cor
don's relations with Judge Milo A.
Root, of the supreme bench. During
that investigation it was developed
that one Sparrow, through Nuzum
6; Nuzum, brought an action in dam
ages against the railroad for person
al injuries suffered in a wreck.
On May 2S, 1908, Gordon made a
stipulation with Sparrow's attorneys
that if the Great Northern Railway
should not pay Sparrow the sum of
$4,000 on orbefore July 80, 1908,
the stipulation might be filed with
the court and judgment taken for
that amount.
With this stipulation, Sparrow's
attorneys rendered receipt in full
and Gordon drew a draft upon the
Great Northern Railway. Sparrow's
attorneys endorsed it in the name of
tueir client and Gordon cashed it at
Tie old National Bank, which for
warded it to st. Paul with advice Of
its payment.
On July 80 the money had not
been paid, according to stipulation,
and the stipulation was filed in the
court and judgment taken. On Au-
gust 81 Gordon had quit the COM
pany, and the company paid the
judgment to Sparrow's attorneys.
When questioned by the commit
tee of the Bar Association upon this
transaction, Gordon stated that it
indicated no misuse of the funds of
the company as it had been an un-
derstood custom. frequently to draw
money for one purpose and use 1t
for another.
Judge Gordon, upon presentation
Of the $4,000 bond, was permitted
to remain in his home, although,
nominally, under the custody of the

GEORGE H. EMERSON
Says Policy Advised by Forest Fire
Association Will Leave Herit-
age of Poverty.

| George II. Emerson, of Hocuiam
| one OF the heaviest lumber manufac-
turers in the Northwest and also
numbered among the keenest obsery-
ers and writers in the country on
| timber conditions, says that if the
propaganda being instituted by the
Washington Forest Fire Association
for the burning of lOgged-Off lands
! Just as often as they will burn"
is followed, it will make the pres
ent timber areas of the state a des-
ert and leave nothing but herit-
age of poverty and curses to coming
generations.
The lumberman's crime of the
age said he in an interview in the
Seattle P.-L, ''is the burning of his
choppings. 1t has reduced the
wealth of Washington and Oregon
hundreds of millions of dollars.
Where we had timber crop that,
with proper fire protection, could
have been perpetuated through the
ages, giving larger yield each year
than is now harvested, if the advice
of the Forest Fire Association is
followed, our forest areas will be-
come a desolate waste from which
our children must migrate to live.
would rather have an old chopping
with proper laws and proper protec-
tion against fire, than virgin timber
that l could not cut for thirty years.
At the end of three years the one is
as safe from fire as the other. This
theory of burning to prevent burn
ing is no new one With few ex-
ceptions, West Coast loggers have
made it a rule. The result is large
areas without a green shrub, a typi-
cal picture of desolation and wan
ton waste. But take the reverse
picture. I know of over thousand
acres of logged-off land, cut from
three to six years ago, where no
fire has ever run. The hemlock and
small fir left standing give the ap-
pearance of an uncut forest. Under
this is growth of young timber,
from six to twenty feet high, stand
ing so thick it is almost impentrable.
That land will be ready for modern
methods Of timber conservation
twenty years from now, and the trees
and tops and broken logs left from
the first cutting will yield large re-
turns. Then a few years later will
come the selection of the fittest
trees for the saw and nature will
plant again where those trees are re-
moved, making the forest continuous
in its growth and yield.
'The timber owner who, after cut
ting his timber, destroys natures
methods Of preserving that portion
not wanted today, and prevents re-
forestation, wastes the wealth of the
nation as much as he would il he
burned his own home and he has no
more right to do the one than the
other"

WILL EXHIBIT BIG TREE

A feature Of the exhibit of the
Chehalis county commissioners at
the A.-Y.-P. fair will be fir tree
fourteen feet in diameter, which 1t Is
proposed to take up root and branch
from a section of land west of Ho-
quiam. The tree will be set up on
a piece Of land adjoining the Che
halls county building. Its transport
tation will involve a great deal Of
expense and trouble. The tree is
$50 feet high.

HOPE FOR CHANCE IN DATE
OF INAUGURAL.

At last there is reason to believe
that Congress win see BIT to change
the inaugural date 1T may not be
dome this session, and perhaps not i'm
the Ire of Che present Congress. But
tbere arc distinct signs that the agi-
tatiou for a. change which has been
conducted In Washington and outside
of it Is having its effect ON Senators
and Representative. and that they are
giving serious consideration TO the
question. This In itself Is great
step in advance. Hitherto the move
mcuts for changing the date have
been spasmodic and not long sustained,
and the result has been that nothing
has been accomplished.
But the committee of residents of
Washington and governors of the
States and Territories I'm charge of
the movement Is working indetatieably
and iudieiously. The chairman of that
committee, Commissioner Mcfarland
of the District Commission. i'm appear
ing before the Senate Committee on
| Privileges and Elections made strong
presentation of the argument for
changing the date Hc advised that it
7 ho changed from March q to the last

time of inaugural ceremonies. ne CON
