Gov. M. E. Hay on Thursday last

Olympia, June 8.
A proclamation by the governor to the

Under the authority delegated by

ington. hereby direct that the members

The object of calling the legislature

receiving and acting upon the report
of your Investigating committee.
appointed at your last session, and for
the transaction of such other business
as may be deemed of public welfare.
Given under my hand this third day
of June, 1909. M. E. HAY,
Governor.
Attested: Secretary of State.
Attorney General at Conference
The investigating committee met
with me this morning and we discuss.
ed the work it has performed up to
this time" said Gov. Hay in discuss
ing his extraordinary session. cat
@--o- r~,o-o1 Dill .-al ILL -
after going over the committees work,
and in view of the disclosures made
in the administration of the adjutant
generals Office prior to the appoint
ment of Gen Lamping,I Am convinced
that a special session is necessary to
determine what future action shall be
taken in order to straighten out the
affairs of certain departments investi-
gated and to prevent, if possible, a
repetition of errors that have reflected
anything but credit on our state.
Much money has already been lost
to the state by careless and un~5usiness-
like methods, andI wish to see all
state departments and institutions
placed on a more businesslike basis.
Pleased With the Work
"While l have not yet received the
formal report of the committee, I am
sufficiently we'll informed on the sub
ject of it's labor to justify the state
ment that I am we'll pleased with the
manner in which the members of the
committee sought to get at the facts
wherever they have conducted an in
vestigation. The work appears to
have been thorough, and the investi-
cation has been conducted without
prejudice and regardless Of political
consequences.
cat the conference this morning we
decided that the committee should
continue the work, and it is the pres
ent intention to visit all the state insti-
tutions for the purpose of checking
them up. It is gratifying to me to
be able to say that, almost without ex-
ception, requests have come from state
officials, elective and appointive, for
an investigation of their Offices. The
committee therefore will make it's in
vestigation complete, and personally
favor the perpetuation Of the committee
or at least it's retention for an indef-
mite period.

George Weaver was up from the
kittltas valley this week with a
big load of apples which he dis
posed of to the company store here.
He says this will be his last trip
for the year. He is very much
worried for fear there will be no
snow III the mountains this winter
and that the farmers will be short
of water next summer. Although
there is quite a depth of SNOW in
the mountains at the present time
there is nothing like the usual
amount, but there is still time for
a great depth to fall yet. At last
report the SHOW was about seven
feet deep at Camp Creek, twenty
four miles from this place and still
coming down. In all probability
there is about eight feet by this
time. There is no real cause for
worry by the farmers as yet during
the next two months we will al
most certainly get several feet
more. Roslyn Miner.

council, after mature dclibcration,
passed an ordinance granting the
right to use the streets of the city
for an electric railway. The ordi-
nance appears in this issue and
should be carefully read by all
property holders to the end that
they will become familiar with the
provisions and be able to note any
departure thercfrom should an at
tempt be made in that direction.
That the franchise is a valuable
one is conceded. If the road is
constructed and is equipped as pre-
scribcd and operated as set forth
in the ordinance it will prove of
great benefit to ClcI>lum and Ros
Ign and materially assist in our
growth and enhancement of realty
values, and the legislative bodies
Of the two cities should see that
every provision is fulfilled.
no thinking person will claim
that such a line can be made to pay
interest on money invested opera
ted as a passenger road; in fact it
is patent that the line must be put
to work as a feeder for the Mil
waukee Rv., and it will be used to
haul coal more than for any other
purpose is evident. The securing
Of the right of way through the
principal stress of the two cities
and the right to use the County
road between the same is worth
thousands of dollars to the corpor-
alton enjoying the rights under the
franchise. In fact, the cost of
grading and securing right of way
by securing the franchise, has
been saved, and it is safe to assert
that this saving will be sufficient
to construct and equip the line in
and between the two cities.
Thus the city has been most
generous and is entitled to the best
service; there should be no hcsi-
fancy in demanding that every
provision be religiously lived up
to. In such an event the service
will prove valuable otherwise only
the operators will be benefited -
