city, with the parks added, the
people will have to pay 13k
mills for municipal purposes.
The four city departments that
threaten to bankrupt the city are
the police. fire, health and
streets. The police department
wants $124,000, the fire depart
ment $4,000, health $4,000,
and streets $4,000. These four
departments If given what they
ask would take more than the
city can raise by 12-mill levy.
When Mayor Wright was in
office he insisted ON the levy be-
ing kept to IL mills, and promised
he would try to reduce running
expenses the next year, so that
with the increase in valuation
made last year 1t could be cut to
10 mills. Instead of the levy be-
ing reduced as the valuation in
creases, 1t looks as If the council
would even increase it, according
to present plans.
But the people this year under
the new law will have a chance
to protest In open meeting next
month, and there promises to be
a mighty protest.

HOQUIAM, Wash, Sept. T.
Following the submission of de-
mands by representatives of near
ly $500 shingle weavers for in
crease of wages, the Poison Shin
gle company mills and the East
Hoquiam company mills closed
today for an indefinite period
Similar action by other mill own
ers is expected during the day.
1t is probable, however, that some
of the mills will remain open 20
clean up their timber on hand
and that when this is exhausted
they will close until strike con-
ditions are ended.
The action of the millmen fol-
lows a six hour session of the
local shingle weavers' union yes
terday afternoon. At the meeting
the workmen decided to submit
their demand for an increased
scale and that If the demand was
refused a strike would be called
at once.
Strike May Extend.
Their action affected thirty-two
mills employing $500 men at an
average wage of $3.50. At pres
ent Chehalis county is the only
territory involved but 1t is prob
able that the strike of the men
and shutdown of the mills may
extend along the coast. A num-
Der of mills which are not mem
bers of the Manufacturers asso-
citation and the employees of which
have not asked for an increase
are pledged to stand by the other
millowners and support an "open

The Demands.
The demands of the men are
as follows: Packers and knot

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 7. =
Bully for Peary." This was the
first exclamations of DR.. Frederick
A. Cook when I handed him the
dispatch from Commander Rober,
E. Peary to. the United Press, an
nouncing his successful quest for
the North Pole.
There can be no doubt in the
mind of anyone who knows Peary
but that the message came from
him." said DR.. Cook. "The word
ing makes me feel sure that he has
reached the pole. 1t sounds so like
Peary.
Il am mighty glad that Peary
has been successful, for he is one
of the bravest and most persever-
ing men who ever went north.
May Corroborate Him.
"He deserves all the honor that
will come to him, and. in addition,
j am certain that his observations
and reports will corroborate the
data l have collected.
"Of course, 1t would be hypo-
critical of me to attempt to con-
ceal the fact that l am delighted
at having been able to plant the
American flag at the pole a year
before Peary reached the spot"
Despite this generous tribute, 1t
is obvious that Peary's messages
have nettled Dr. Cook. He stated
today that owing to his desire to
rejoin his wife and children, he
may alter his plans and sail for
New York from Antwerp within
a week.
To Hurry to New York.
1t Is generally believed that DIR.
Cook deems 1t advisable to retain
the strategic advantages already
gained and get back to New York
ahead of Peary.
DR.. Cook declared that he was
merely friendly rival" of Com
mander Peary, but scientists here
expect an early opening of the
"Cook-Peary controversy" and that
1t will break into an open feud
with nasty features.
Peary, while at the pole, found
no trace of the flag planted by
DIR. Cook.
Peary's adherents declare that

If the city council keeps the tax
levy down to IL mills this year,
the fireboat, garbage incinerator
and several other schemes that
are contemplated will have to be
cut out.
The salary list has been boost
ed. SO high during the past year
that either salaries will have to
be cut or the people will have to
stand an increased levy.
The August payroll was over
$4,000. 1t will not grow any
less in the year to come on the
present basis. For IL months
therefore the payroll alone will
take s76S,000.
All the taxes the city can raise
by a 12-mill levy will yield only
$671, 900. SO there would be s97,-
900 more spent on the payroll
than the whole municipal taxes
amount TO.
OF course the water and light
payrolls come out of the water
and light receipts. but there has
been little boosting of the payroll,

ments. The policemen firemen
and salaries generally which are
