ROOSEVELT, lNSURGENT
Former President Confers With Lead
ing Insurgents, and May Lead
the Movement.

OYSTER BAY, July 2.-The def
mite attitude of. former President
Roosevelt toward the Taft admins
tration was made clear today after
three-hour conference at Sycamore
Hill,, with three insurgent republic
cans. From now on, if developments
count for anything, Roosevelt will
conduct bitter fight as the leader
of the insurgents.
my policies, forever" is the Roose-
welt slogan. Insurgents who took part
in the conference were Bristow, Madi-
son and Murdock, all of Kansas, and
who have remained in the forefront
of the battle against the Taft admin
istration and Cannonism.
Lloyd Griscom, to whom Colonel
Roosevelt sent message urging the
adoption of the direct primary law
in New York state, was also visi-

KNIGHTSARECOMING
The GRAND LODGE, KNIGHTS OF
PYTHIAS, NEXT week.
Aberdeen Will Remain in Gala Attirea
and Give Visiting Knights a Royal
welcome. Three Thousand ViSi-
tors Expected. Local Knights Pre-
pairing to Receive Them.

The city will remain dressed in gala
attire for the convention of the Pyth-
ian grand lodge that will be held here
for four days, beginning Tuesday,
July IL. The decorations that are
now in place on the streets will be
left, and emblematic flags of the or
der will be added to them, besides
large banners with the word "Wel-
come" The streets will be decorated
as never before. The merchants will
vie with each other to have their
store fronts decorated the best. The
committee has received 300 emblem
attic flags which will be used to follow
out the grand scheme of decoration.
Information booths for the guidance
of the visitors are to be located at

cent Hotel Mrs. S. X. Bowes will be
in charge of the former, and Mrs. Ed
ward F. Jones in charge of the latter.
committee from the Pythian Sis
ters, acting in conjunction with the
Knights, will meet all trains at the de-
pot, and give any information that
may be asked by the visitors. AS the
hotels will not be able to care for so
many visitors, it is desired that as
many homes as possible be open for
their accommodation, and that any
one having spare room that could
be put at their disposal, communicate
with Mrs. S. K. Bowes, GOA North
Broadway, or with w. w. Maxey, 321
East Market street, and give the loca-
tiOn of the house, with description
of the rooms, and the cost of same.
There should be no delay in this re-
gard, as the committee must have
ample time to prepare an intelligent
list.
/ Everything points to successful
following of the arrangements as have
been prepared by the various commit
tees, and nothing will be left undone
on their part to have the visitors al
ways keep warm spot in their
! hearts~for Aberdeen. ~.

consisting of rs men, will do this
work. In order to put the work on
effectively they will bring with them
more than $4,000 worth of parapher-

MONTESANO GOSSIP
The COMING GRAND JURY and
POLITICS DISCUSSED.
Small Hope Entertained of Real Prob.
ing by the Grand Jury. Strange
Prosecution of kIingenberg. Abel
for Congress Has Aid of Timber
Junta. BOner for Judge.

MONTESANO, July 2.-The coming
session of the grand jury, which meets
next Tuesday is the subject of much
discussion at the county seat nova
days, so much SO as to almost exclude
politics. This is not surprising when
one considers that it is the first grand
jury for Chehalis county in more than
twenty years. Speculation is rife as
to it's probable actions, and whether
or not it will accomplish any bene-
fetal results.
Great difference of opinion exists as
to the utility of this jury. Those who
were instrumental in having it call
ed say there is plenty of work for
it right in the court house if it is
rightly directed. While no direct
charges are alleged, the air is full of
rumors of misconduct in some of the
county offices, which, in justice to all
concerned, should be thoroughly, ably
and impartially probed. But, will
they? Nine out of ten when asked
this question reply, no. The reluc-
tance of the court and the prosecu
tor to call this jury-until actually
| forced-is not calculated to breed con-
fidence in the result, and right in this
city one can detect a quiet but strong
influence already at work to prevent
if possible the style of investigation
contemplated by those whose demand
forced the call of the jury.
County Attorney Campbell, after
three months delay, filed an informa'
ton against John Klingenberg yester
day, charging him with murder in the
| In
confessed murderer Of Charles Had
berg from the death penalty or life
Imprisonment. The actions of AttOr
ney Campbell throughout this Killing
enberg case are being sharply critic
ised. 1t is recited that the attorney
refused to issue warrant for the ar
rest of Klingenberg last April, and
that the sheriff's Office was compell
ed to make the arrest without author
'ity Of law, and that, strictly speak
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1910-07-04

ing, he has been held prisoner for the
past three months in defiance of law
All this, taken in connection with
the information just filed, gives rise
to the belief that the prosecuting at
torney is not desirOus of a vigorous
prosecution of the case against King
enberg. The man stands confessed
of brutal murder, planned two days
previous, and it certainly looks to a
layman that twelve men on jury
would be better qualified-after hear
ing the evidence-tO decide upon the
degree of murder than was one man
and him a sort of reluctant prOsecu
tor. The plea of the defense, that
Klingenberg was forced by Gohl, is
clearly matter for a jury to decide
and it's determination by the attor
ney is not well received.
The county seat is usually the cen
ter of local politics and almost al
ways has something in that line to
discuss, but nothing of late has sc
stirred the political pot here from cen
ter to circumference as has the an
nounced candidacy of w. II. Abel for
congress, and on the republican tick
ct. 1t is recalled that Abel has al
ways been-or posed-as a democrat
and always took an active part in the
conventions of that party, and was
delegate to the last county conven'
ton held by that party in 1906.
Abel has scored some successes in
procuring what is termed the negotia'
BILE vote in this county in past cleo
tions through methods in which scru
pies are not permitted to interfere and
it may be that he plans to carry the
district along the same lines. Here
in Montesano, the situation is unique
Notwithstanding his obnoxious demo
cracy, and notorious methods, he has
the republican leaders of this city
completely buffaloed, and will be able
to compel their support in the com
ing primaries. But, with the rank
and file, his task will be harder. Al
there is a man whose methods are
more deply despised than those of w
H. Abel in the eastern half of Che
halls county, he remains to be dis
covered.
Another candidacy has been an
nounced that fails to arouse enthusi
asm in this locality, that of w. w
Boner of Aberdeen, for superior judge
in opposition to Judge Sheeks. But
little is known of Attorney Boner uI
this way. He has but little court prac
tice, and, aside from the politica
leaders. is practically unknown. He
may possess every qualification FOL
the superior bench, but the fact Ii
not known. On the other hand, Judge
Sheeks was the almost unanimou:
choice of the county bar at the cleo
tions in 1908, and when appointed b!

the governor last year was without
competition, and has since given emf
nent satisfaction on the bench.
1t seeking for the cause of opposi-
ton to Judge Sheeks, that is being
fostered in the dark. one is invariably
led toward w. II. Abel. Abel, it will
be remembered, made the fight of his
life two years ago to defeat Sheeks
and elect Irwin, with whom he was
openly accused by the bar of having
undue influence. Since the appoint
ment of Sheeks, he has had to con-
duct his cases in that court like other
attorneys, and has frequently given
vent to his displeasure thereat. All
this leads to the belief that the vim
dictiveness of Abel, and the need OF
Boner for the job are responsible for
this candidacy.

progress in Workmanship and maneu-
vering.
So far from this increase in naval
strength representing on our part
either a menace of aggression to
weaker nations or menace of war to
stronger nations, it has told most
powerfully for peace. Everywhere in
Europe the cruise of the battle feet
around the world was accepted not
only as an extra ordinary feat reflect
ing the highest honor upon our navy.
but as one Of the movements which
tended markedly to promote peaceful
stability in international relations.
No nation regarded the cruise as
fraught with any menace Of hostility
to itself. and yet every nation accepted
ii AS a proof that we were not only de-
siTous ourselves to keep the peace, but
able to prevent the peace being broken
at our expense. No cruise in any
way approaching it has ever been
made by any fieet of any other power.
and the best naval opinion abroad had
been that no such feat was possible
that is, that no such cruise as that we
actually made could be undertaken by
a feet of such size without innumer-
able brealdowns and accidents.
The success of the cruise, performed
as it was without a single accident,
immeasurably raised the prestige not
only of our fleet, but of our nation,
and was a distinct help to the cause
of international peace.

really think that outside nations have
juster idea than our own people Of
the magnitude and success of the
work. 1 wish our people realized what
is being done on the isthmus. II a
man of intelligence who had never
left this country asked me whether
would advise him to make short trip
to Europe or u trip to the Panama
canal l would without hesitation ad-
wise him to go to the Panama canal
He would there see in operation the
completing of one of the great feats
Of modern times.
Colonel Goethals and the men work
ing under him are rendering a service
to this country which can only be
paralleled in our past history by some
of the services rendered in certain
wars.
Six years ago last spring the Amer
lean government took possession or
the isthmus. The first two years were
devoted to the sanitation Of the 18th
mus, to assembling the plant and
working force and providing quarters,
food and water supplies. In all these
points the success was extraordinary.
From one of the plague spots of the
globe, one of the most unhealthy re-
gions in the entire world, the 1sthmus
has been turned into a S1ngularly
healthy place of abode, where the
death rate is small and where hun
dreds OF children are now being raised
under as favorable conditions as In
most parts of the United States.
The quarters, food and water supply
are excellent and the plant the best
ever gathered for such purpose. Ac-
tive excavation on a large scale did not
begin until January, 1907. Three years
and a half have gone by since then,
and three-fifths of the total excava-
ton has already been accomplished
The amount taken out has passed any
thing which previous experience war
ranted US in believing to be possible
In 1908 and 1909 the monthly aver
age of rock and earth removed was
100000 cubic yards notwithstand-
ing the fact that nine months of each
year constituted q season OF very
heavy rainfall. There remain to be
excavated only about 6o,0oo,0 900 cubic
yards.
If we could keep up the past aver
age OF excavation this should be done
In twenty months, but'ir Ia impossible
to maintains such o ratio as tho depth
increases, for tho output necessarily
dtntnishes az the field OF operation
narrows. stu, It Is certain that such
q rate can be maintained as win enable
the workers TO finish the excavation
considerably In advance of the date
fixed for opening the canal. Jan. !,
1915. Indeed. / shall be surprised IL
the canal cannot be opened six months
or even a year In advance Of the time
set.
The work has two great features
the Culebra cut, which I have been
considering. and the great dam at Ga
tun. The latter Is to imprison the
waters Of the Chagres and other
streams into q lake with an area Of
