MILLS OF HOQUIAM
MAKE NEW RECORD
Cut 100000 Feet of Lumber,
255,OOC.OOO Shingles. 68.000.-
900 Lath During 1909

HOQUIAM, Jan. 22.-All previous
records for manufacturing lumber
were broken during the year 1909,
when the five mills of Hoquiam cut
total of 216.907,765 feet of lum-
Der, 67,931,990 lath and 255,214,-
712 shingles, valued approximately
at $4,041 ,655.
The mills of the city were shut
down more or less, the Grays Harbor
Lumber company being closed down
for 120 days.
The shingle cut was far below that
of 1908, owing to the fact that the
condition of the .hingle market and
the strike compelled millmen to close
down. The Poison Single company
only operated two months during the
year, while other plants were closed
down more than three months.
The ttal amount of lumber ship
ments by cargo was 1872, 447, 100 feet
Of shingles, S3,750,250 and OF Hath
81, 1872, $50 pieces The total valu-
alton Of the cargo shipments was ST.

MAY CONDEMN LAND
Supreme Court Reverses Judge Irwin
and Permits Boom Company to
Condemn Overlooked Land

The Superior Court of Chehalis
county has been reversed by the SUI
preme Court in the case of the State
ex rel. Grays Harbor Boom company
and the Humptulips Driving COM
pany against the Superior Court of
Chehalis county and c. II. Pealer, in
which the plaintiffs seek to condemn
the land owned by Pealer. The Su
perior Court sustained the demurrer
interposed by Pealer to the original
complaint, and the Supreme Court
orders il overruled. 1t was charged
that the boom company and the driv-
ing company could not be Joined in
one action, but the court says that
as one company drives the logs and
creates the artificial freshets and the
boom company is responsible for
holding back the logs and the water
that they are properly joined. The
defense also set up that the land
could not be condemned as the driv-
ing company had failed to include
Pealer's land in it's plat, but the SUI
preme Court holds that the filing of
plat is merely serving notice. Peal
err owns some land that is damaged
by the overfows caused by the two
companies and as he has secured

for this purpose that the action in
question was started. The same par

OLGA. NETHERSOLE
Celebrated English Actress Coming to
Grand Theater Two Nights
With Famous Plays

1.-THE Writing on the Wall the first
American drama in which Olga
NethersOle, the celebrated English
actress has ever appeared, will be
presented by her at the Grand thea
ter, Jan. 30th.
Miss Nethersole is not the author
of the drama, but as in other in
stances she was its inspiration and
was closely associated with William
J. Hurlburt while he was writing it.,
going with him into the miserable
lodgings and tenements in New York
which are controlled and operated by
Trinity church corporation. The play
is an attack upon these conditions
and the men who permit them. 1t
created a veritable sensation in New
York when first produced and has
been endorsed by critics, clergy, and
audiences in various parts Of the
country. Miss Nethersole now plans
to make it the opening attraction in
her repertoire when she returns to
London next spring.
In this connection, it is interest
ing to observe that Nethersole also
inspired Pineros greatest drama,
THE Second Mrs. Tanqueray," which
was written and taken to her for
production, when the famous author
was still unknown even in his own
country.
Nethersole inspired Clyde Fitch to
write "Sapho" from the famous nov
ell by Alphonse Daudet. 1t was for
her that the first dramatization of
Carmen" was made from the famous
opera.
In all of these plays and in most
of the others in her extensive roper
toire, Nethersole has had the advant-
age of close association with the au-
thors during preparation and rehear-
sails. Alexander Dumas was dead
long before Nethersole played, but
she went over the scenes of his mas
terpiece, Camille with the widow
of Dumas and the latter said: You
show the genuine Camille of whom.

Nethersole declares that THE

StiIton Cheese.

The secret of making Stilton cheese
was for some time confined to the fam
lily Of the original inventors, who were
under an engagement to sell all they
could make to the famous Cooper
Thornhill Of Stilton. Being thus to be
obtained of him alone, it received the
appelation of Stilton cheese, but it
would have been more appropriately
named Wichcote cheese, being first
made in that village, on the eastern
side Of Leicestershire. about thirty
miles from Stilton.-London Standard.

LIEUT.. GOV. Mcleod INTER-
VIEWED.
the Whiskey Question is Not
The Only Important Question.

From The Daily Item, March 10.
Lieut.. Gov. Mcleod, of Bishopville.
who is an avowed candidate for gov
ernor in the primary this summer, is
in the city today on professional bus
mess. He was seen by the Item man
and asked about his platform.
He talked freely Of his chances,
and is sanguine of election. He does
not think that the whiskey question
is the most important question be-
fore the people at this time. He is
for general development Of the State
along industrial, educational and
agricultural lines. He said: "I have
always stood for the public school
system and it's development, having
been among the first to favor an ap-
preparation for the public schools.
advocate such development of our
public school system and enlarge
ment Of It's sphere as will make it the
basis of our educational system. The
old idea was that the college was the
main thing, while the public school
was mere side issue. I will have
some definite plan to offer for the
Improvement and development Of our
system, which, If carried out will
make an epoch In the history Of our
educational system"
He further said: IT will have some-
thing to offer along the line of our
tax problem. We are on the eve Of
considerable industrial improvement
and everything should he in harmony
with that improvement"
LAS to local option" he asid, "I
believe prohibition, or the legal sale
OF whiskey by the counties as the
majority sentiment of each county
decides, as expressed by it's voters, Is
the best solution Of the problem.
That 1t is the best solution is evil
denced by the fact that the law is
better enforced now than under the
dispensary law. Prohibition as it
exists now in Sumter, Lee and other
counties can be enforced. Human
nature Is so constituted that a condi-
ton Of affairs or obligations assumed
by the people themselves are much
easier Of enforcement. The people
realize that they have assumed re-
sponsibility for the enforcement of
the law and act accordingly. FIX
treme measures which go beyond the
sentiment of a community are likely
to be followed by a reaction"
At this point the interview was in
terrupted.

ADVANTAGES OF SOY BEANS.
Col. j. f. Sribling Points Out Profit
able Features.

Col. J. c. Stribling, of Pendleton,
says In regard to the soy bean:
"If were called upon to name just
one plant as the most valuable to man
and his domestic animals for a sum-
mer crop in the Southern States, the
legume, known at present as the soy
bean is beyond doubt that plant, for
the following reasons -.
list. 1t will grow a profitable crop
upon any and all soils where corn or
cotton will grow.
"2d. 1t supplies the most complete
ration Of hay and grain for work
stock. When ground, the beans are a
better feed than cotton meal, and
soaked in water for a time-one or
two days owing to the weather--the
beans more than double in bulk and
at such stage make the best green
food for stock and poultry, and rival
the navy bean for table use.
I'D. The planting season ranges
from April to the last Of July. The
large varieties may be planted any
time from early spring to late in July.
"4th. For enriching the soil and at
the same time harvesting a profitable
crop, there Is no equal Of the soy
bean. My observation is that the lit
tie nitrogen balls on the roots of the
soy bean are more abundant than any
other plant that 1 know Of
5th. The upright growth or cot
ton stalk shape Of the plants, make it
possible to drill and cultivate entirely
by horse power, and harvested by ma
chinery when sown broadcast or in
drills.
9th. With proper preparation Of
the soil, 1 have never known the soy
bean to fail producing a fair crop, wet
or dry. I believe it will stand
drought better than alfalfa, or any
other farm crop"
