COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Hold Regular Meeting Monday Engl-
reer Denies North River Is Ne
elected In Road Matters.

MONTESANO, Nov. 2.-At the
regular meeting of the county COM
misisoners yesterday, Engineer Rob-
ertson reported that the newspaper
reports to the effect that the Nortn
River valley was neglected in the
matter of roads was not true, and
cited the appropriations for that
section in the past three years. The
report argues like an attorney for
client, and by a Juggling of figures
shows an expenditure of nearly $39,-
900 for roads and bridges in that To-
cality. This is accomplished by
charging up to that section all the
road work-some of it useless-from
Cosmopolis to the Pacific county line,
vet the fact remains that for lack OF
five miles of road, that can be built
for $4,000 the best farming section
of the valley is deprived of market
and the harbor-their only market
is obliged to send money to Oregon
and California for products that
should reach us from North River.
The contract for furnishing the
tax rolls was awarded to F. G.. Teift
Co.. of Aberdeen, for $256.65.
The Aberdeen Construction Co. re-
ceived the contract for building the
Westport dock and roadway.
Matt. StrOmmer was awarded the
contract for treste bridge over Joe
creek, for 1896, he being So lower
than r. 4. Anderson.
The matter of rebuilding the
bridge across the West branch of the
Wishkah river at Grand Forks, was
referred to Commissioner Hopkins.
The bond of the court house con-
tractor was approved.
The petition for a grade crossing
over the n. p. railway in section So
1877 was signed. and ordered sent TO
the state railway commission.

LOG BOOM BREAKS.
Chehalis Boom Could Not Stand the
Pressure of Accumulated Logs
They Go Adrift.

For sometime past the loggers of
Chehalis county have been praying
for rain. and their supplications have
been answered plentifully. During
the last week rain has been coming
down heavy enough to more than
satisfy even boss logger. Espec-
tally is this true of the foot hills.
with the result that all of the small
streams were swollen and logs were
rushed into the Chehals river by
the thousands. On Monday call for
help came to the Harbor, and all
who could go went to the rescue.
The Chehalis boom, located about six
miles up the river, had to catch these
logs. but what with the drift wood
and heavy current, despite the siren
uous efforts of the boom men, the
logs got away and lodged at the rail-
way bridge between this city and
Cosmopolis, where large force of
men and several tugs have been Sc
curing them and towing them away.
since Tuesday. 1t is estimated that
lodged at the bridge is about S,O0O,-
900 feet of logs board measure. Con-
sidering the quantity let loose on
the river. it is thought that not many
went to sea, the small tugs on the
lower Harbor having taken care OF
the logs that passed through the
bridge. On last evenings tide the
logs that had drifted onto the several
sand drifts We're nearly all secured
and doomed, and while there has
been considerable trouble incurred
there will be little. or no loss. The
gale on Grays Harbor Tuesday at
tained a velocity of 75 miles an hour.

MAN OVERHEARD.
A. Norberg. Deckhand on Steamer
Harbor Belle. Falls Overheard
and Is Drowned.

A. Norberg, deckhand on the
steamer Harbor Belle, operating on
the harbOr, fell overheard while the
steamer was between Aberdeen and
Hoquiam Thursday afternoon and
drowned before aid could reach him.
No one saw the accident but it is
supposed he slipped on the wet deck.
A lfeboat was lowered at once
when he was seen struggling in the
water but before it could reach him
he sank from sight. The body has
not been recovered and owing to the
swift current running in the channel
it is doubtful whether it can be.
Norberg was about 40 years of age
and had been in the emplOye of the
Wilson Bros. Navigation Co. for
many years. He has relatives in
Minneapolis. and owned property at
Coos Bay, Oregon.

VANCOUVER JUDGE is ELECTED
TO CONGRESS BY DEFAULT.
Special Election Is Most ApaihetiC in
History of State. Lister Carries
Every Ward in Tacoma and Pierce
County. But One Third of Vote

The most listless political cam
paign in the history of the state clos
ed with the elections Tuesday, in the
Second congressional district, when Il
successor to the late Francis w.
Cushman was elected The Republic
can nominee, Judge w. w. McCredie,
was decidedly unpopular throughout
the district, aside from the Columbia
river counties. and not to exceed one
third of the vote of the district was
cast, of which the Democratic nomi-
nee, Ernest Lister received a flatter-
ing number The counties of Pierce,
Mason, Jefferson and Clallam gave
majorities for Lister, his majority in
Pierce being about 500
| In Chehalis county it was difficult
to arouse interest enough to induce
the voters to go to the polls Most
of the Republicans did not wish to
bolt their ticket, nor did they want
to vote for McCredie, so that less
than one-third of the voters went to
the polls. The returns so far re-
ceived, indicate majority of about
500 in this county for McCredie and
about 5000 in the district.
The vote in the following precincts
have been received, the cities and

LABOF LEADERS
LOSE ON APPEAL.
Gomrers. Mitchell. Morrison MAY
Have to Go to Jail-Chief JUS
tice nissents

WASHINGTON. Nov 3-The dis
trict court of appeals today affirmed
the decision of the supreme court of
the District of Columbia, adjudging
President Samuel Gompers Secretary
Frank Morrison and Vice President
John Mitchell, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, guilty of contempt
of court in the Buck Stove and Range
case
Chief Justice Sheppard dissented
from the opinion of the court on
constitutional grounds.
The court held that the fundamen-
tai issue was whether the executive
agencies of government should be
obeyed or defied. The mere fact that
the defendants were the officers of
organized labor in America. said the
court, lent Importance to the cause
and added to the gravity of the sit
uation, but it should not be permit
ted to Influence the result.
IF an organization of citizens,
however large the court held, may
disObey the mandates of the court
the same reasoning would render
them subject to individual defiance.
Both are subject to the law and nei-
ther is above it, If a citizen though
he may honestly believe his rights
have been invaded, may elect when
and to what extent he will obey the
mandates of the court, instead of
pursuing the orderly course of APP
peal. not only the courts but gov
ernment itself would become power
less and society would be reduced to
a state of anarchy"
The action of the supreme court
of the District of Columbia in SEN
fencing Gompers, Mitchell and Nor
rison to twelve, nine and six months
Imprisonment in jail, respectively,
was the result of failure Of these
three defendants to obey the order OF
the court directing them 10 desist
from placing the Buck stove and
Range company of ST. Louis. on
their "unfair list" in the prosecution
of their boycott against the corpora
tion.
