Need of Better Kansas Avenue
Railroad Crossing.
Cold Weather Calls More At
tentiOn to Fact.
THAT "BLOCK SYSTEM"
Causes Delay and May Result
DisastrOusly.
Fire Department Held Up by
Train on Tr ok.

The present cold weather calls at
tention to the need for some way OIL
preventing the blocking of the street
cars by railroad trains at the Kansas
avenue crossing. This morning street
cars were frequently stalled two deep
while freight or passengers cars
waited on the tracks in front.
This inconvenience people at all
times, but especially so in cold weath-
er. 1t is not an uncommon sight TO
see a crowd of people shivering OPP
posite the depot. In the meantlllte
the trains are delaying street car traI-
1ic.
This "bIock" system worked OUT
beautifully when the round mousse
roof caught fire recently. Because OF
a train on the track part OF the oe-
partment from fire station NO. was
delayed several minutes. AS II nap
pened the blaze was easily put out
but if it had been under mucn heao-
way, or had the flames started in one
of the mills, the delay would nave
probably cost thousands of dollars.
And the congestion of trains and
CONSEQUENT bIockading of the avenue
will be worse when regular service Is
Installed on the Onaga cutoff unless
some change is made.
An overhead crossing for the
street cars at this point has been sug-
gested. Perhaps this may not be
practical, but the people or the
North side and of the city at large
have long felt that something should
be done to remedy the difficulty.

USE AND DEVELOPMENT
IS BEST CONSERVATION
Senator Borah Tell New Yorkers It
Is Waste to Tie Up Natural
Resources Indefinitely

New Your, Feb. Limited States
Senator w. E. Borah of Idaho, who
made flying trip to New York yes
terday, left behind a long statement
giving some of his ideas on the ques-
tion of conservation.
THE west is just as thoroughly
devoted to conservation as the east"
said the senator, but as we under
stand it, conservation means the use
and development of our natural re-
sources. 1t is waste, pure and simple
to tie up those resources Indefinitely.
Gov. Hughes was surprised some time
ago when | told him that we had a
forest reserve in Idaho into which
we could put the whole of New York
state and lost it. On that land there
are thousands of dollars worth of
lumber going to waste. We want
these reservations put under such
regulation as will make them serve
the needs of the living generation of
men
Look how rapidly we are losing
possible settlers. More than 10000
Americans will cross into Canada
this year looking for homes. They
win take with them and average of
$1,000 apiece. Besides the loss of
good thrifty farmers, this means
70,000,000 of good American money
is leaving the country because the
Canadians have framed their land
laws on a liberal PLAN

BANQUET WAS GREAT
CHAMBER OF commerce BANQUET
A SPLENDID AFFAIR.
Nearly One Hundred and Fifty Rep.
reSentafive Citizens of ChehaIiS
County Gathers Around Festive
Board Tuesday Night at Hotel
Washington.

The Chamber of Commerce banquet
at Hotel Washington, Tuesday night
was one of the most notable gather
ings in the history of Aberdeen, and
Secretary Powell is to be congratulate
ted upon its success. 1t required no
small amount of hustling to bring
nearly $50 representative men from
all the towns in the county to a din
ner in Aberdeen, and that is what the
secretary did, and it is doubtful if a
Imam present was not pleased that he
was there.
The spread was calculated to salts
fly the most epecurian taste and was
a credit to the Washington manage
ment.. The spebches were redun1
dant with excellent suggestions for
the development of Chehalis county,
the absence of sectional spirit be-
ing conspicuous. All seemed to ac-
cept the proposition that the inter-
ests of Chehals county was the in
terest of all, and in all probability
a county board of trade will be one
of the. results of the gathering.
At the beginning, Hon. J. r. O'Don-
nell, of Elma, introduced the follow
sioners:
''The improvement and extension
Of the road from Elma, northerly to
the Thurston county line, through
which a net saving of Is miles out
Of 60 will be made to the travelling
public on it's way from the Harbor
to Olympia.
''The country on the south side of
Grays Harbor from Newskah river to
Westport has living therein about
500 people, who, today are practically
without railroad or steamboat trans
portation. The settlements are dis
connected by lack of bridges and in
entirety are separated from the rest
of the world for the lack of eight
miles Of wagon road.
Scattering around the picturesque
shores of Quiniault lake are SO fami-
lies of people. 1t is utterly impos-
sible for these families to market a
single, solitary product of the SOIL
There is nothing left to them, as
well as to the people on the south
side, but hope for wagon roads. This
cannot last long. These people liv-
ing in these regions of the county
will be forced to leave their homes
and seek other occupations and their
lands so long considered part of
our development will lapse into
ruin"
The memorial urges the commits
sioners to take some action, either
by using the funds that annually find
their way into the county treasury
for road purposes or by the issuance
Of the full amount of bonds which
the commissioners are empowered to
do without vote.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
DEBATED IN SENATE
It's Paternalism, Says Mr.. Smith
Works Well in Europe,
Saws MI. Carter

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The post
al savings bank bill was debated at
length in the senate today. It's con-
sideration will be resumed tomorrow.
Responding to an inquiry from Mr..
Gallinger, Senator Carter said the
Philippine islands had not been i'll
cluded in the bill because they had
their own postal savings system.
while Porto Rico, Alaska and the
Canal zone, having no such system.
had been embraced within it's pro-
visions. Mr.. Galinger still insists
that in any general measure of the
kind the Philippines should be in
cluded.
posing the bill, Mr.. Smith, of MiChi-
gan, advanced the opinion that the
measure should be considered with
great care. He confessed that, in so
far as he had been able to give at
tention to the subject, he had been
led to believe the measure "smacka
largely of paternalism.
Mr.. Carter replied that postal saw
ings banks were not an experiment,
as they had been tried thoroughly in
Great Britain and other European
countries. The bill did not, he said,
propose to interfere with banking
or to do more than furnish to the
poor an opportunity to save their
small pittances They should be en-
couraged to save, he said. But the
government should guarantee repay
ment.

The COST OF living
CONGRESS is SEEKING some Way
TO REDUCE 1T.
WAYS and Means Committee of the
House to Dig Deep for Information
on the Subject, end Recommends
Remedy. To Probe the Beef
Trust.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The cost
of living in the United State is to
be thoroughly inquired into by the
house of representatives through it's
most powerful committee--the ways
and means.
Representative Payne, of New
York, chairman of that committee,
today introduced his resolution pro-
viding for an investigation along the
broadest lines
The resolution, which will be re-
ferred to the ways and means COM
mittee and doubtless reported back
for passage, authorizes the ways and
means committee to make a thorough
investigation of the cost of living
in the United State to ascertain cost
of production and wholesale and re-
tail profits, to inquire into the cost
of living in foreign countries and to
recommend such legislation as will
contribute to restore prices to the
normal level.
The resolution authorizes the COM
mittee to subpoena witnesses, to en-
ploy experts and to send for records,
papers and all other needed evidence.
A thorough investigation of the So
called beef trust IS provided for in a
resolution introduced today by Rep
resentative Coudrey (Rep., Mo- The
resolution apprOpriates 100000 to be
used in getting the facts. Fines of
$500 and Imprisonment for five years
is provided for witnesses who de-
cline to reveal information to the
committee.
The resolution provides for a thor
cugh and complete investigation of
the present unreasonable and unnec-
essary advancing prices made by meat
packers and of the reported board
ing of live stock in Western yards;
of the refusing of large orders and
the holding of supplies in freezers to
create the impression of shortage.
The committee, which will consist
of six senators and six members of
the house, must report to the present
congress.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1910-02-03

The memorial was unanimously
adopted after an amendment had been
inserted, providing for bridge across
the Chehals river at Montesano.
w. H. Abel. of Montesano had
opposed the proposition, saying the
projected roads would cost 100000,
sum out of all reason, of which
$150,000 would be necessary for the
road to WestpOrt. Secretary Powell
showed the absurdity OF this posi-
tion by quoting the estimates of engi-
neers on the proposed roads to have
been as follows: Westport road,
$1O5, 200: Quiniault road, $4,000;
Elma-Summit road, $4,000, a total
of $1S0,000 instead of half a mil
lion, and stated that a considerable
sum could be obtained from the state
road fund, and that the commission
ers had authority to issue bonds to
the amount of $250,OOO without a
vote.

the table delicacies toasts were IN

SHARPENS KNIFE FOR
TARDY CORPORATIONS
Failure to Paw Taxes Will Spell
Finish For $4,000 Com
panies

OLYMPIA, Feb. about $1,000
corporations now delinquent in the
annual tax will be stricken from the
records in the office of Secretary Of
State l. M. Howell on February 23.
Attorney General w. P. Bell says in
an opinion that any method Howell
decides to adopt will be sufficient to
strike off the names. Howell wants
to simply mark the index record to
show the license had been cancelled
and the attorney general says it is
sufficient.
