The Presidents Message

Mr.. Taft's message to Congress on
interstate commerce and trusts
blows the trend of his mind and the
effects of his legal and judicial train
ing. 1t is the argument of judge
who, having made up his mind after
some hesitation, feels that he must
emphatically justify his decision by
his opinion, and yet desires to show
that he has no hostility or bitter
ness to defeated party. 1t is rather
optimistic and a trifle compromis-
ing in tone. and manifests nothing
of the somewhat brutal zeal with
which his predecessor was wont TO
attack the same sort of questions iii
his frequent communications to con
gress. 1t expresses, moreover, a faith
almost too ingenious in appearance
to be sincere in fact, in the efficacy
of additional affirmative legislation
to accomplish what can really be
accomplished only by cleaning OF
the ways" through the repeal OF
legislation already enacted rendering
possible and fortifying monopoly.

The Interurban Franchise.

A prominent attorney in this city
is of the opinion that even should
the county commissioners grant the
Boss Abel franchise, the interurban
company would still have to condemn
the right of way and pay the abut-
ting property owners for it's use. The
opinion is based upon the fact that
the easements were given only for
never contemplated a railway-that
would hamper their ingress and eg-
ress to their property.
This opinion is based upon Section
16, Article 2, of the state constitu-
ton, which says: No right
of way shall be appropriated to the
use of any corporation other than
municipal, until full compensation
therefore be first made in money, or
ascertained and paid into the court
for the owner, irrespective of any
benefit from any improvement pro-
posed by such corporation.
"Whenever an attempt is made to
take private property for use alleged
to be public, the question whether
the contemplated use be really pub
lie shall be judicial question, and
determined as such without regard
to any legislative assertion that the
use is public
The attorney quoted, says the SUI
preme court has decided, under this
section, that the right of ingress and
egress constitutes property; that the
county has title in public roads for
use as such only, and has no right
to grant their use for any private
purpose. 1t is highly probable that
the second speculative franchise will
meet the same fate as the first.

QUINAULT LIBELED
FOR LUMBER LOSS
Steam Schooner Declared to Have
Been Responsible for Endea-
vor's Grounding in Janu-
ary, 1907.

The steam schooner Quinault,
owned by the HARDWOOD Mill COM
pany of Aberdeen and the Quin-
ault Lumber company of Raymond,
was libeled Monday at Raymond for
alleged responsibility in the loss of
$4,000 worth of lumber which was
being towed to sea on the schooner
Endevor in Willapa Harbor in Janu-
AIRY, 1907.
Action was originally brought
against the Grays Harbor Tug &
Barge company, ore of the tugs of
which towed the Endeavor, by the
C. e. Burrows Lumber company. The
tug company declared that as it was
about to tow the Endeavor to sea,
the Quinault entered the bay and
forced the former into shallow water
causing the loss of the cargo. Papers
We're served on the Quinault owners
by United States Deputy Marshal j.
r. Statter. Bonds to the amount OF
$4,000 were furnished at Aberdeen
and the craft was allowed 10 con-
tinue it's business.

Assessed! Values,

Assessor Carter is quoted In the
evening paper as saying he favored
raise of assessed valuations on Che
halls county property from 23 per
cent of the real value of 60 per cent
and there is much to be said in favor
of the plan. A high assessed valua-
ton and low rate of tax levy always
looks better to a prospective investor
than the reverse.
But the danger lies in the DISPOSE
tion of County Commissoners-w with
demands always upon them for more
than can be granted-to make the
levy up to the limit. This tendency
is responsible for the low assessed
values in the past, and probably will
remain until the form of county gov
eminent is changed. If. instead of
three insufficiently paid county COM
missioners. we had a business admin
istratiOn of County affairs, modelled
after the System of private corpora
lions doing an annual business
of like magnitude, with a recall law
in force, property might be assessed
at it's full value-as the law really
requires.

Grays Harbor Line of the Milwaukee
Railroad to Be Rushed to
Completion

The bridges on the new Grays Har-
Dor line of the Milwaukee which
were washed out during the Novem-
Der floods; will be repaired by Satur-
day of this week, and next Monday
track laying crews will be put at
work to rush that line to completion
This statement was made yesterday
by w. d. Foster, superintendent of
the Coast division Of the Milwaukee.
to- the Tacoma Ledger.
according to our latests advices,
said Mr.. Foster, the bridges over
the Nisqually and Cowlitz will be
finished Saturday, and on Monday
the track laying machine and gang
of 175 track layers will start work.
The machine and men will be able to
lay three miles of rails per day. Thus
with the ordinary delays, the work
will be completed within 25 days
1t might possibly be done in 90 days
THE work on the Grays HarbOi
line at the end of this week is just
where it was before the floods in
the late fall. When the heavy rains
came preparations were being made
to begin the work which will be ur-
der way next week. All the month
of December and two weeks of Jan
uary have been spent in repairing
the damage caused by the high
water
Mr. Foster expressed himself as
being well satisfied with the pro-
gress which has been made in re-
pair work and said that it is hoped
that the Grays Harbor line will be in
operation within a short time after
the tracks are completed.

Not a Misfortune, Perhaps.

There is a possibility of convert
ing the loss of the Aberdeen base pail
franchise in the Northwestern league
from q misfortune to an advantage.
Aberdeen did not funk. Being GUST
ed from the league, she drops out OF
professional base ball with honor.
Honor achieved in the three years
with the league, in one Of which her
team brought home the pennant.
Aside from the comparative small
number of fans, the support or the
team came from those who contribute
ed to advertise the city. And IT dld
advertise Aberdeen thoroughly. But,
VOW that we are cut of the game, the
Herald believes it would be well TO
initiate the successful commercial adj
vertiser in varying the style.
We believe objection would be
made by very few of the conrtlbu-
tors to the base ball fund this year,
If the money subscribed was used to
exploit the advantages of Aberdeen
for manufacturing industries of all
kinds. We have the advantages, but
they must be made known, and for
Aberdeen to reap her share OF the
benefits of the Seattle exposition last
year, they should be most thoroughly
advertised.

PURITY IN FOODS
Methods of Preparing Various Prod-
ucts Being Discussed More Thor
oughly Thar Ever.

Ever since the passage of the pure
food law couple Of years ago the
discussion of food factory methods
have continued to occupy large
share of public attention. While the
original law has remedied a great
many abuses which were in vogue
especially in meat and drug prepar~
ations, number OF processes in 9th
, err lines were not touched upon.
Recently great deal of atten-
ton has been devoted by various
bodies and individuals to study OF
the methods used in various canning
plants An effort will be made at
the coming session of Congress to
have several of the more questlona-
,le methods made the subject OF a
!ew statute.
Among the processes to which eX-
.eption is taken is the practice in
tCgue in many canneries OF peellng
peaches by immersing them in I've
or caustic soda instead of by knife.
BY using the caustic soda method
,anners save cent or two per can.
The method consists of putting the
peaches in tank containing boil
allowing the fruit to stew in this
compound until the skins are eaten
loose, which are then washed away.
In the process of washing it is pre-
sumed that all of the caustlc soda
Is also washed away but no effort
is made to find out if this is accom-
plished. In consequence, If any of
the I've remains on the fruit the
consumer gets it. Just what effect
this I've has on the human system
has not yet been discovered but most
folks probably would prefer not to
be the ones experimental on.
Another feature in this matter is
the fact that only unripe peaches
can be used in the I've process with
the result that the Gamers using this
methods prefer and must have green
fruit After a I've bath, what little
favor such fruit has, almost entire
ly disappears.
1t is hoped that Congress will pass
law compelling Gamers who use
the lye-method to say so on their
labels so that the people will have
an opportunity of making intelli-
gent choice of the canned fruit
they and their families consume.
The result will probably be that
every Gamer will abandon the lye-
method, for while they want to save
all the money they are able to, they
will probably prefer to spend a little
more On the peeling CT peaches if
they face loss of business as con-
sequence of sticking to the cheaper
method

ABERDEEN AFTER FACTOCIEs

The city of Aberdeen is setting the
example to Seattle in the provision
which it is making for the coming
year for the expenditure of money
to lay the advantages of Aberdeen
hefore people seeking locations for
new manufacturing enterprises. The
Chamber of Commerce of the enter
pi ising Grays Harbor city is prepar-
ing fer the expenditure of $4,000
in booster" work for the city this
yea.
Instead of expanding this money
for advertising, as money has been
spent in the past, it is proposed to
use it in establishing a bureau of
information, with salaried secretary
to devote his entire attention to the
work of encouraging the location of
manufacturers there; to correspond
with all these who seek information
and to follow up the letters from
time to time; in short to do in a
small way a work similar to that
which Chicago has found very pro-
fitable on large scale, the employ
ment of a man to devote his entire
time and energy toward inducing
the location at Aberdeen of new
manufacturing plants of every kind
and description.
Aberdeen is already a city with a
great payroll, one Of the largest. f
not actually the largest, in proper
ton to population, of any city in this
state Yet the enterprsing men of
Aberdeen feel the urgent need for
even more manufacturing establish
ments if the city is to expand in the
future in anything like the manner
it has been growing in the past
Aberdeen has much to offer any
one seeking a location for a new
industrial plant, and it proposes to
see that everyone coming in this
category learns what there is to be
known about Aberdeen before he
selects his location. The campaign
in Aberdeen, admittedly, is prompted
by the word that Seattle is about to
enter upon a similar campaign. Abb
erdeen is merely trying to beat Sc
attic to it by substituting action for
conversation on the subject.-Seattle
POst-Intelligencer.

A. NEW FRANCHISE

So we get a new application for a
franchise for the use of the high
ways of this county. This one, we
suppose, conforms with the law. But
it doubtless fails to give the country
any just or reasonable return for
the privileges asked In his decision
the injunction sought by a. d. Dew
onshire against the original Wheeler
Grant, Judge Sheeks held that the
proposed interurban line should be
definitely located in the franchise
Has that been done? Why, now, if
Able wants a franchise for an in
terurban line-why doesn't he go
about it in business-like manner?
and lay his surveys and a map of
them before the county commission
ers? Other railrods follow this
method, except that they do not ask
they county to appropriate gratuit-
ously rights-of-way.
But what's the use? Abel, it APP
pears, is not under the aggravating
necessity of employing methods other
applicants might be forced to use.
He expresses confidence Monte
SanO ulSpalcneS say, III lne a0OpllOU
of the new franchise 1t is presum-
ed. Of course. that he has founda-
ton for his confidence. No doubt
he has. If two county commission
ers would be ready and willing to
pass a franchise like the original
Wheeler affair they viii not Strain
at one which manages to come just
within the pale of the law. Public
policy is a matter of no considera-
ton at Montesano. Public property
is a thing for the county commits
sioners to dispose of as they see fit,
not a thing to be guarded as best
may be, for the welfare of the people.

lie policy between DEMONSTRATORS
