cidentally killed by his own gun.

ROAD WORK TO CONTINUE

According to G. M. Powell, the we'll
known Neushkah river rancher. who.
with Mrs. Powell, attended the ses-
sions of the state good roads conven-
tion at Walla Walla last week, is au-
thority for the statement that opera
tions on proposed state road No. 9.
from Montesano to Port Angeles, will
not be affected by recent recommen-
dations adopted at the meeting.
There appeared to be well-defined
opposition to the state aid feature
of the present road laws, coming
principally from east of the noun
tain men, although commissioners
from King, Whatcom and other coun-
ties west of the mountains opposed it
vigorously. The engineers of the
state are also opposed to it, and pres.
ented resolutions to the legislative
committee to this effect.

WAS IT MURDER7
Mysterious Death Of Young Girl From
Satsop in Aberdeen Rooming
House May Be Murder

VouSe way oe Wu'o0'
Miss Mary Bouer came from Satsop
early last week and engaged rooms
in q lodging house, where she was
found dead Friday, under circum'
stances that lead to q suspicion that
she was murdered. Coroner Smits
made an autopsy on the body Satur-
day, but declined to give out any in
formation for publication. The sher-
iff's Office and police are equally
reticent In the case, saying only that
the matter was in the hands OF Coun-
ty Attorney Campbell, who could not
be reached before the Herald press
hour.
From all the information obtain
able, much of which is street rumOf
and conjecture, q man we'll known to
the authorities is under suspicion Of
being responsible for the death of
the young woman, and his arrest may
be made before this paper appears.
Miss Bouer resided with her parents
at Satsop, was "a years of age, and
does not appear to have had much
in Aberdeen.
tATER-Dr. n. Rob stapp was
placed under arrest at noon, charged
with having caused the glrI's death
the performance Of q crimin.
ai operation, and was taken to the
county jail At Montesano, to answer
In the superior court. Particulars Of
the case are not obtainable now, and
he Herald refrains from printing any
Of the numerous rumors that are
afIoat.

DR.. M. R0BB STAPP CHARGED WITH MURDER

This Is not much to be wondered at
when the actions of the council in the
matter are considered. The prOpOsi.
tion was laid before the council at
special meeting and thoroughly dis
cussed. The Importance of the tele-
phone line was fully recognized as
we'll as the doubtful propriety of for.
feiting the $500 under the circumstan-
ces. It was agreed to without q dis
senting voice, and the city attorney
was directed to prepare q resolution
restoring the money to Mr.. Finch.
provided the line to Westport was in
operation within 80 days. With
characteristic energy. Mr.. Finch at
once contracted with Mr.. Way, an ex.
pert telephone constructor, to build
and equip the line in 80 days. The
notice received by Mr. Finch cited
him to appear at the regular meeting
next Wednesday night, although it
is understood the plan Is to hold
pose Of dispOsing Of the matter by
formally revoking the resolution that
refunded the money. This the Herald
is disinclined to believe. 1t doubts
the willingness Of the council to take
hasty action or snap judgment in q
transaction SO strongly opposed by
the commercial and manufacturing,
as well as all other interests Of the
city.
This paper is inclined to the belief
that the council has been misled by
some interest not connected with the
welfare Of Aberdeen. and that the
refund of the $500 is simply used az
bait to lure the council to postpone
the building Of this line. Why, i'm
portance of the line is so fully rec
ognized, that, II necessary, that sum
could be raised as a bonus in busi-
ness circles. As stated above, the
Herald doubts that any action of the
council now will cause Mr.. Finch to
resume the work, SO that 1t may be
that the purpose of those interested
in thrOttling this telephone line may
have been already accomplished.

PROSPECTS BRIGHIS
FAVORABLE ACTION ON BAR
APPROPRIATION EXPECTED
WASHINGTON DELEGATION WILL
WORK FOR 100000 APPROPRiA.
TION RECOMMENDED BY Gov
ERNMENT ENGINEERS AND
HOPE FOR SUCCESS

Assurances were received last week
from Congressman Humphrey, Sena-
tor Jones and Piles and others of the
Washington delegation in congress to
the effect that they would use every
effort in their power to secure the
appropriation of 100000 for the
Grays Harbor jetty work as recon-
mended by the engineering depart
ment Of the government. While it
is certain that economy will be the
watchword of the short congression-
al session, it is nevertheless expect
ed that the Grays Harbor appropria-
tion will succeed mainly for the rea-
son that it has been recommended
by the engineers and further, because
it will be shown that unless the ap-
preparation is made the work already
done will 60 for naught.
Several hundred thousands of dol
lars of government money has already
been expended on the north jetty and
still the immense work is far from
complete. The trestle work has been
driven out into the ocean for two
miles or more, and the railroad tracks
constructed, a large amount of the
brush mats have been placed in posi-
tion and sunken by the rock dump
ed upon them, but this portion of the
work is hardly more than started.
Everything is in readiness, however.
to continue it to finish, when addi.
tional appropriations shall become
vailable.
Toredoes Create Havoc
1t is declared, however, that If the
appropriations for continuing the
work are not made this winter SO
that operations can be resumed in
the spring, the expensive trestle over
the ocean will be useless and will
have to be practically rebuilt before
it can be used.
Toredoes are working on the piling
as Is the case in all salt water and
in q few months many of the piles
will be completely cut away below
the water line. In order to show this

forts to secure the recommendation
Of this appropriation and their sue

is realized that the endorsement OF

united effort Of the Washington dele
cation should be sufficient to land
the needed money. .-

HAS LONG CHASE

Returning Friday from a chace of
more than 140G miles every inch OF

Washington, Sheriff Edward Payette
safely landed his prisoner, J. w. Camp
bell. in the county Jail at Montesano
on charge of obtaining money un-
der false pretences. The warrant for
Campbells arrest was sworn out last
summer but he got wind of it in some
manner and left the state. A watch
was kept on his movements, it being
expected that he would return. He
did so and was finally arrested at Col.
vile, Wash.
