Driven to desperation for the first
time in his long reign over Chehalis
county, Boss Abel has taken the
stump for the election of his tool
Rosmond, and opened the bali in the
Empire theater building, in Aberdeen
on Saturday night. If Abel, who owns
this building, would tell how he comes
to possess property worth about
$4,000, he would allay the curiosity
of good many people in this city
This property was a part of the eS
tate of Micheal Goldsmith, the probat
ing of which was without serious le
gal difficulties, yet Mr.. Abel manages
to secure almost one-half of that prop
erty through acting as attorney fol
some of the heirs. But that is anoth

Prefacing his remarks with the
statement that he claimed the right

the lying abuse of the newspapers and
prominent citizens of the county who,
acting under the belief that they pos
sessed a similar right, are opposing
his tigurehead for county commissions

nothing but truths that he could

AbcrGcer's splendid now hign
school building, one Of the best and
most modern structures in the state,
was formally dedicated last Friday
ni"ht with appropriate exercises, in
the presence of large criWd of Alb
erdeen people who thoroughly enjoy
ed the program and spent consider
able time in inspecting the building.
Every seat was occupied and many
chairs were brought in and placed in
the aiSleS and near the platform.
Particularly was the big audience
pleased with the splendid auditorium
which, under the efulgent light from
many large electric light globes pres
ented an interior as fine as may be
found any where on the Pacific coast.

Substantial boost has been given
to the lumber industry on GrayS Har-
Dor by the announcement, Saturday,
that the lumber markets on the line
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound and the Chicago, Milwaukee d
st. Paul railways had been opened
to the timber manufacturers of Alb
erdeen, HOquiam and Cosmopolis,
through traffic arrangement with the
Northern Pacific which permits of the
transfer of cars from the mills not
now reached by the new road to its
tracks in South Aberdeen. The lum.
ber manufacturers of Grays Harbor
have been working for this advantage
for many months and it was with gen.
e"al satisfaction that thcy learned
Saturday that their efforts had been
successful.
Notice was sent Saturday to A. +.
Peterson, MANAGER OF the Pacific Lum-
Der Agency Of Aberdeen. which hand
les all the rail shipments of Grays
HarbOr and Willapa llarbor mills, that
arrangements had been perfected
whereby the Northern Pacific would
handle all the cars destined for points
on the Milwaukee line, and deliver
them to the tracks of the latter COM
pany without the imposition of switch
ing charges. This charge, which ha:
heretofore been in force, acted as an
effectual barrier to the markets af-
forded by the towns on the Milwau-
kee 1t is expected that similar ar
rangements with respect to the Ore
gon & Washington will be effected in
few days.
Large Territory Available
This arrangement the Milwaukee
traffic department declares, will be in
effect as far east as Mobridge, South
Dakota, including all the branches of
the line and comprises a territory of
more than 1,300 miles rich in agri-
cultural pursuits and thickly settled
with thriving towns and villages.
Heretofore this frs.itfdl territory Las

may now enter it on an equal footing
with Puget Sound millmen is indeed
pleasing Intelligence. The fact that
the concession has been made not

despair, are wondering how they ever
allowed themselves to get into such a

truth and an open fight, and they have
fallen miserably.
Their methods of skulking around
with offers of bribes and threats
have been met with an open, above

deeds have been given the light OF
publicity-the people have been told
of Abels methods and Abel's meth

MARTIN OBJECTS TO
CANN0H'S RULING
DECLARES ORDER TO READ LONG
BILL WAS GIVEN 10 OBSTRUCT
LEGISLATION AND CHEAT
NEW RULE.

Washington, ID. C-Representa-
tive Martin, of South Dakota, talked
today about the manner in which
Speaker Cannon is trying to nullify
the new House rule intended to faci-
litate discharge of committees from
consideration of bills. When this
rule was first tried oist, Monday,
Mann's long bill on post reorganiza-
tion came up first. as.ssx saea hwr Cans
non ruled it had to be read in full.
This balked consideration of other
bills and was so obviously obstructive
that it has stirred up many members
of the House who wanted to see the
rule operate effectively.
Mr.. Martin said today that the
matter was extremely important and
that one of the prime objects OF the
new rule was to facilitate considera-
tion of bills for revision of separate
tariff schedules. BY means of this
rule, if it is not nullified, bills for re-
vision of separate schedules can be
pried out of the ways and means COM
mittee.
Il am satisfied Speaker Cannon is
wrong in his ruling" said Mr.. Mar
tin. "The question before the House
in special session is not the bill itself
but the motion to discharge the COM
mittee from consideration of the bill.
At the next opportunity, il the speak
er insists on adhering to the rule that
every bill thus brought up shall be
read in full. ] shall move that the
rule be changed so that reading of the
title alone will suffice
Not only the insurgents but many
other republicans feel this way about
it. and there is prospect that Speaker
Cannon will find himself in another
fi"ht in which he will get soundly
beaten. Nobody seriously doubts
that Cannon and the old House lead
ers are trying to hinder the new rule
in every way and thus discredit all
to liberaliZe the House.
Washington, d. C.-For several
days friends of the Rev. DR.. Couden,
the Blind Chaplain of the House OF
representatives, have ben working
in the interest of his retention as
House Chaplain, when the Democrats
take charge of the next Congress.
Today it was stated that there is a
inr retained. DR.. Courdon has been
ing reained. DR.. Coudon has been
chaplain of the House for the past
fifteen years. He succeeded the Rev.

man, who became chaplain Of the
Senate and was afterward succeeded
by the Rev. DR.. Everett Edward Hale
The salary of the chaplains of the

on the chaplain is that his prayer

ed to have political bias. DR.. Coul

MANY ARE ANXIOUS.
Chairman Crumpacker Wants
Apportionment Preventing
Any Loss of Members.

Washington. D. C.-The. political
chess-board is attracting Ereat deal
OF attention in legislative circles
Just now, anent the appointment act
to be taken up after the holidays.
With needed data from the Census
Department at hand, some shrewd
moves are made on the board every
day, each party playing with all pos
sible skill for every point OF adyant-
age.
One of the many spectators eager
~ watching the game is Hon. Eben
W. Martin, Representative from
south Dakota. Mr.. Martin chuckled
the other day when Maine made a
ciever move to make the represents
-tlon 44O members. II Congress de-
cieds upon unit which will increase
the membership to 44O, Maine would
retain It's delegation of four memb-
ers. Unless it is decided that the
House shall embrace 435, Iowa will
1t viii ltake a House OF 433 mem
bers to save Misouri's delegation Of
sixteen representative, House OF
- to save Indiana's delegation OF
thirteen, and a House Of 415 to save
Ohio's delegation of twenty-one
1t seems clear that
whatever unit of representation ID
adopted, Minnesota will retain Its
delegation of nine, with a possibility
of gaining one.
Chairman Crumpacker believes
that the apportionment act should be
passed at this session, and IL is un-
derstood that he favors a unit OF rep-
resentation which will insure no loss
Of members to any stote. Certain
Repnbllicans, however, AMONG them
the delegation, from New York are
opposed to action on the apportiOn-# (
ment act at this time. The New
Workers are in favor of delay in the
hope that the party will carry the
lower branch of the legislature next
year, and thus be in position to pre-
vent Democratic gerrymander.
In either event-whether the game
stops to suit the plans of the New
Workers, or it goes on-Mr. Martin
has good reason to chuckle. South
Dakota cannot possibly be deprived
Of third Congressman. If the unit
should be raised to 1850, 900 for eac.l
Representative, South Dakota would
in all probability be cut of from in
representation; but this is
out of the question as 1t would make
4 big cup in the representation from
heavy republican states and turn the
game now in operation over the Dem
