oaic;ated at DAUGHTERS Wedding.

Burlington, Jan. 20.-Mayor F. i.
Unterkircher of this city had the
UNIQUE experience of performing the
wedding ceremony of his own daughter,
Della. to Mr.. William Edward Leyins
of Chicago. The mayor was averse to
performing the office and preferred
that the young people get a regular
pastor. But they insisted that they
wanted the parent to marry them and
his office as mayor giving him the
right, he acquiesced gracefully. The
ceremony occurred at the home of the
bride and was a very pretty affair ano
attended by large number of friends
and relatives. Mr.. Levins is president
and manager of the National Type
writer Company. They will live in Bur-
lington after wedding trip.

INSURGENTS CARRY CALIFORNIA
Candidates for Governor and Congress
Sweep the Southern Pacific Rid
den State.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.-Hiram
Johnson. progressive republican. Lin
coin Roosevelt leader, and an avowed
insurgent, set the semaphore signals
that sent the so-called railroad ma
chine" into the ditch in yesterdays
primary.
Today's added returns show that
Johnson and his insurgent colleagues
have swept practically everything be
fore them in the first direct primary
ever held in California.
1t is estimated that Johnson receiv-
ed 10000 votes throughout the state,
to Charles +. Curry's $4,000. Alden
Anderson, open champion of the ina
chine" polled something like 25,"0o
votes. The weak showing of the
Southern Pacific candidate was one
of the surprises of the voting.
The landslide of Johnson votes is
believed to have demOralized ''the Or
ganizaton." The machine men We're
confident that Anderson would carry
every city and would receive the sup
port of machine factions throushour
the state. The size Of Johnson vote
surprised them.

Notwithstanding the short notice
of the meeting, coed sized crowd
gathered at the Grand theater Mon
day night to hear Congressman POin-
dexter, although the "Old Guard" re-
publicans We're conspicuous largely By
their absence. The frosty treatment
of Mr.. Poindexter by the republican
leaders of Aberdeen was not credit
to the hospitality of the city or them
selves, and is likely to cause embar-
rassment in the not improbable event
of his election to the United States
senate. r. A. Wiley, candidate for
county commissioner for the second
district, presided and introduced Mr..
PoindeXter, who was listened to with
marked attention, and frequently ap-
plauded, for more than two hours. He
spoke calmly and to the point, max
ing no attempt at Oratorical fireworks,
and heaped Goals of fire on the heads
of some of his competitors by the
courteous manner in which he briefly
told of their misrepresentation of his
actions in congress.
The chief allegations made against
him by the regulars were taken up
and their falsity shown by the record.
The charge that he voted against the
postal savings bank bill was shown
to be absolutely false. This bill was
reported by the committee with a
proviso that no amendments be per-
mitted that is, it must pass the house
as framed in committee. This Mr..
PoindeXter opposed, as he desired dn
amendment that would require the
funds of the banks to be kept in the
community in which they were de-
posted. On the passage of the bill
as it became law the record shows
his vote, aye.
Candidate Wilson's paper has charg,
ed PondeXter with having voted to
remove the tariff from lumber. al
though the record shows his vote to
have been in favor of the duty. a vote
cast, as he explained in opposition
to some of his farmer constituents
who wanted free lumber, as he did
not consider the lumber interests OF
the state in condition for such a
change.
In his clear, dispassionate, convinc-
ing way Mr.. PoindeXter exposed the
fallacy of the allegation that federal
conservation meant hardship to an
actual settler or prospecDr and was
calculated to retard the development
of the country. The laws now in
force. he said would give the settler
on agricultural lands and the miner
title to their holdings, if they were
bona fde, but would not permit of
bogus entries to be ceeded later TO

MONTESANO Aug. 1S.-The Che
halls county grand jury took hand
in the equalization of timber land
values yesterday, when the members
OF the board of county commissioners
and County Assessor II. II. Carter,
We're called into the jury room and
interrOgated regarding the request of
the Weyerhauser interests for re-

to nearly 100000. That the board OF
equalization had under consideration
sweeping reductions amounting to
the above amount in taxes, through
out ranges seven and eight, compris-
ing some of the richest timber in Che
halls county, became evident but the
grand jury stepped in and called a
halt and the matter went over until
today.
At noon yesterday, the matter was
taken up by the grand jury and coun-
ty commissioners Davis Hopkins and
Arland together with County Assessor
Carter and County Treasurer Taylor
who comprise the equalization board
were hailed before the inquisitorial
body and interrogated regarding the

ness stand, it is said, and the jurors
We're evidently not in favor of the
sweeping cut proposed.
1t is said that. aside from the Wey.
erhauser interests, the other large

assessments with the exception of the
! IIo, al
which proved to the board that their
holdings, or some of them. We're as
sessed somewhat too high. Other
timber owners had not asked a reduc-
tion but, it is declared that, in or
der to accommodate the Weyerhau
sers, the board proposed a sweeping
reduction amounting to more than a
half million of dollars.
1t was rumored on the streets here
today that County Commissioner Ar
land had recently purchased a section
of land in this range from the Wey
erhauser syndicate and he viii be
questioned today regarding the mat

sition.
1t is the belief that the assessments
will not be lowered as it is stated
that three of the board is opposed
/ Among these is County Assessor Car
ter, who stated yesterday that the
valuations were just and equitable
and that they would never be lower

PASSENGER SERVICE TO SOUND
and PORTLAND.
0. 3 w. to Operate Night Trains with
SieepcrS Out of South Aberdeen;
Milwaukee to Provide Day Service
to Tacoma. Service to Be First
Class.

Regular passenger service will be
established from South Aberdeen and
Cosmopolis to Seattle and Portland
on September /, by the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound and the Ore.
gon & Washington railways, accord.
ing to an announcement made Tues
day by officials of the latter company.
According to present plans, a
solid train of steel coaches, including
sleepers, will leave South Aberdeen
probably about 1145 p. m. daily.
There will be two sleepers, one for
Seattle and Tacoma, and the other
for Portland. These will be trans
ferred to the o. & w. "Owl" trains
between the Sound and Portland at
Centralia, and passengers for either
destination, will find themselves in
the cities in the early morning, ready
to transact their business. Return
ing the sleepers will leave Seattle
and Portland at 11:45 p. m. and reach
South Aberdeen the next morning.
Under this arrangement Harbor bust
ness men will be enabled to remain a
full day in the city and be absent
from their own business but one day;
the scheme is bound to prove popular
with local men. 1t is the identical ar.
rangement that was asked for when
the Northern Pacific placed the Grays
Harbor limited on the run.
Promptly at 7:40 a. m, Thursday
September 1, the Chicago, Milwaukee
& Puget will start solid passenger
train out of South Aberdeen and Cos.
mopolis for Tacoma and Seattle and
the same night the new service OF
the o. & w. will be started. This
will give the Harbor two additional
daily trains for outside points. The
Milwaukee train will reach the Har-
Dor from the Sound in the early even
ing. The latter road will not give
service to Portland except as can
be made by changing to other trains
at Rochester and the main line of
the Northern Pacific.
Temporary Schedule
Under present arrangements for the
operation of trains, which is only
temporary, mixed freight and pass
enger train over the Milwaukee leaves
Cosmopolis daily at 7:40 a. m. fol-
Tacoma and way points, reaching the
Sound city about 4 o'clock. A train
is due in Cosmopolis from the SounJ
at 80 p. m. daily. A freight train
over the o. & w. arrives in Cosmopo
lis daily at IL a. m. and leaves at

passengers. At the present time tho

Aberdeen but will do so as soon as
the road is placed in condition to car
