GRANGE AGREES
TO HAYS PLANS
But Thurston County Farmers Would
Like Present Road Laws Re-
paalad

OLYMPIA, Jan. 29.-GOv Hay
and the members of ThurstOn coun-
ty Pomona Grange came to an un-
derstanding at the meeting of the
grange here today, and as a result
the latter at the next meeting will
probably rescind its resolutions of a
week ago, regretting the governor S
then announced position in favor
of the construction of one state
trunk road.
Before the grange members and
ether farmers of this county this
afternoon, Gov. Hay said that the
interview with him published in the
Spokane papers was incomplete; not
that he had been exactly misrepre-
sented, but that his statements there
had been qualified and that the quail
ificatiOns had been eliminated in the
published interview.
He said his scheme for a trunk
system of roads was not rigid, but
declared he could net indorse the
present road laws. AS long, how
ever. as the present road laws are
in effect and as long as the present
system of taxation is in vogue he
says that the single trunk system
is the only proper plan of building
state highways.
Members of the grange say that
while no vote was taken the audi
ence showed it was in favor of re-
pealing the present state road laws
and also with the governor in the
idea that a system should be adopt
ed if the present laws are continued
in force.
Master c. b. Kegley. of the state
grange, followed Gov. Hay He de-
clared for local option road laws
with the county, the various coun-
ties to bond themselves and raise
money to build roads.
He said he was in entire SYM
pathy with the views of Gov. Hay,
and indorsed them as a whole, but
he advocated absolute repeal of the
present state road laws.

BUILDING PROJECTS
Building Season Of 1910 Will Begin
Early. and Gives Promise Of Be-
ing Greatest Ever

The number of business blocks

Aberdeen in the magnitude of build
ing operations, not excepting 1904,
the year after the big fires.
j. b. Dabney and w. b. Mack have
signed up an agreement for Il three
story block on the south side of Her

1OOx130 feet, and the syndicate own
ing the remaining 100 feet of that
block, on the corner of | street, is
said to be planning to build this
season.
Cliff M. WeatherwaX and Thos. l..
Douglass will erect a two story block
on Heron street between | and Broad
way, adjoining the Biiou theater.
Jay D. Crary and associates will
build a business block on the COR
ner of Broadway and Heron street,

business block to take the place of
his frame structure on the corner of
F. and Wishkah streets.
X. Zelasko has two business blocks
started on Wishkah street, which
have been held up for several weeks
owing to his illness, which they will

SELL CAPITOL, LANDS
Capitol Commission Will Call for Bids
for Farm Lands in Doug
las County

OLYMPIA, Jan. 2S.-At meeting
OF the state capitol commission yes
terday, attended by Governor NJ. +.
Hay. State Auditor c. w. Clausen,
Land Commissioner T.. w. Ross, j. r..
Frost of the state tax commission,
Mayor Mitchell Harris of Olympia, A.
S. Taylor of Everett and Senator Alex
Poison of Hoquiam, it was decided to
advertise at once and sell off the
farming lands comprised in the grant
in Eastern Washington, located for
the most part in Douglas county. H.
ID. McCOol,, the cruiser from Ever
EFT who cruised the state capitol
lands and found that they contained
about 4,O00,0OO.OOO feet of timber,
of all kinds, was engaged to go over
his reports and estimate the value
of the timber by quarter sections 1t
is figured that the timber is worth be-
tween $4,00O,0O0 and $5,00O,OOO,
but the commission wants to know
exactly what each section and quar-
ter section is worth so that when it
is placed on the market 1t will be pos
sible to fix the minimum price to be
charged.
Within short time the farm lands
in Douglas county will be advertis-
ed for sale. These lands, it is figured,
will not bring much more five years
from now than they will at the pres
.ent time.
At the meeting yesterday Senator
Poison urged delay, repeatedly argu-
ing that as he is logger, he knows
that the timber will double in value,
if not triple, inside of the next few
years. The other members seemed
to be willing to go ahead and sell the
lands, now that they have been cruiS-
ed, and follow out the intent of the
legislature to have the money paid
so that the old debts can be wiped
out; eliminate the paying of interest
on delinquent interest and get funds
so that work can be started on the
new capitol building on the founda-
tiOn now standing near where the
executive mansion has been built.

SAYS BOYCOTTING
WILL AID NEALTH
Doctor Declares Decrease in Amount
of Meat Eaten Will Be
Blessing

SEATTLE, Jan. 29.-Tn the view
of at least one physician of Seattle,
a general boycott on meat If it shall
bring about permanent reduction
in the amount consumed per capita,
will be an unmiXed blessing to the
human race. We're the use of meat
restricted to the actual needs of the
human system, he is of the opinion
that it would not only break the beef
trust, but the liquor trust as well,
and immeasurably raise health stan
dards.
The following letter from DR.. I.
J. Sullivan is of general interest:
''If the beef trust methods in rails
ing the price of meat results in Il
permanent reduction in the amount
consumed it will be a blessing in dis
guise, instead of misfortune to the
American people. The high price of
tenderloin steak is of no more con-
sequence to the average man than
the high price of whisky. The over
eating of meat causes probably as
much disease as the use of whisky,
and if the use of meat were restrict
ed to the actual needs of the hui
man system it would probably break
tho liquor trust as well as the beef
trust Heavy drinkers are almost in
variably heavy meat eaters, and the
overeating of meat is one of the
causes of the mental depression which
calls for stimulants.
"The average person eats from
three to ten times as much meat as
necessary, and it is only the wonder
full adaptability of the human body
to varied and unfavorable conditions
that enables excessive meat eaters to
keep even the appearance of health.
Eating large quantities of meat is
suicidal to those employed indoors
and unnecessary, if not dangerous, to
those at hard outdoor labor.

STATES TO OWN WATER POWER
Carter's Bill. Fixing Control. Said to
Have Approval Of President
Tai
WASHINGTON. Jan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. @S'ecre-
tary Ballinger's plan, rejecting the
ccnservationist's view of treating
water-power sites in the states, does
not seem to have met with approval
in congress. His idea, while it rec
ognized the right Of the state to the
loving water in non-navigable
streams, proposed to place restric-
tions on the granting of sites on gov
ernment land adjoining possible pow
er development and to require the
grantee to take only an easement
for a limited period, to turn over his
ment and to agree as to rates to be
charged. Representative Mondell,
chairman of the committee on pub
lie lands; Representative S. c. Smith,
of California, and others vigorously
opposed this idea
Now Senator Carter has prepared
a measure, said to have the approv-
al of the president. His bill pro-
poses to turn the whole administra-
ticn of power over to the states. In
this he is expressing the view that
generally found approval in the re-
cent conference of governors, in
which many of the governors. rep
resenting widely separated parts of
the country, were practically unani-
nous on the proposition that the gen
eral government could not logically
attempt to control water power. and
that state control, as in New York
is the best

odd LENGTHS FIGHT WAGED
Pacific Coast Lumbermen Are Pledg-
ed to Uphold Them to the
Last.

SEATTLE, Jan. 30.-Stirred into
action by the direct charge made by
Paul f.. Page, of the Page Lumber
Co, that they have been showing the
white feather by not living up to
agreements recently made, the Paci-
fic Coast Lumber Manufacturers AS
sociation yesterday passed resolu-
tion pledging themselves to cut odd
length lumber and make the trade
accept it, regardless of all OppOsi-
tion. Mr.. Page charged the members
of the Pacific Coast Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association with bad faith
in not living up to the recent agree
ment to cut and market odd-length
lumber. He stated that members of
the association were openly disregard
ing the agreement and refusing to
ship odd-length lumber to retailers
who objected to it.
The association, which represents
over $50 sawmills, and is therefore
probably the largest group employer
in the state, went on record at its
annual meeting in Seattle yesterday
for Il conference of employers in
Guiding the railroads, and a repre-
sentative from every branch of or
ganized labor, looking to the franz
ing of an employers liability law
that will thoroughly protect the
labOring man.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
An Important Decision on a Con-
tract for Sale of Timber
Plumber Not Machinist

OLYMPIA, Jan. 29.-Nhen a con-
tract is made for the sale of timber
and it is specified that it must be re-
moved within certain time, then it
must be removed or it reverts to the
original owner So holds the supreme
court in the case of the Allen &c
Nelson Mill company, appellant,
against w. e. Vaughn and others
In King county. The mill company
bought certain timber which it prom
ised to remove in three years from
April, 1906 At the end of the three
years the timber was cut but not
removed and the court holds that in
this particular instance the cutting
had nothing to do with it, and that
if the mill company cut more tim
ber than it could remove within a
specified time that it is the loser by
reason of its poor Judgment. The
court holds that the contract means
what it says, for a man might be
willing to sell if he could have the
use of his land again in three years,
but would not sell if had to wait five.
The judgment of the lower court is
reversed.
According to the supreme court a
plumber is not blacksmith, a wag-
onmaker, a machinist nor a boiler
maker, and is therefore not entitled
to mechanics lien simply because
he worked on machine, so the judg-
ment of the King county superior
court in dismissing the suit brought
by the Modern Plumbing & Heat
ing company against the American
Soda Fountain company is dismiss
ed. A plumber was hired to connect
up soda fountain and a levy was
made upon the fountain for the non
payment of the bill, but the court
holds that the plaintiff attempted
the wrong remedy and orders the
case dropped.

GOVERNMENT POSITION AGAINST
meat TRUST IS STRONG.
Special Agent Ready to Report on
Chicago Evidence. Coils Tighten
ing Around Heads of the Meat
Companies Affiliated with the
National Meat Company.

CHICAGO, Jan. % United
States Attorney Edwin NJ. Sims, has
enough evidence now against the
beef trust to warrant indictments
against the big four" according to
a report sent to Washington
This development in Chicago's
third investigation into the beef in
dustry was revealed today when it
became known that Assistant Attor-
ney General Oliver Pagin is to re-
turn to Washington tomorrow to re-
port to Gen. Wickersham on the evil
dence.
First Attorney General Wade Ell
lis came to Chicago with Mr.. Pagin
at the orders of Attorney General
Wickersham but against his own
wishes. He came, not only to learn
the situation and Judge Lands view
but to assure Judge Lands the gov
ernment had no feeling against the
court.
NJ Pagin came as the government
expert On indictments to discover
this:
VIII Indictments Stick
rs the evidence now in the hands
of the government strong enough to
secure an Indictment that will stand
the test of a fight such as the beef
trust will give it?
is the evidence strong enough, in
Pangin's idea of the law to warrant
an Indictment that will stand the
test of the supreme court of the Unit
ed States, and,
is Judge Lands bitter against
the administration in Washington
or its representatives in Chicago?"
Although these things were report
ed in federal circles in Chicago and
in official circles in Washington,
still Mr. Pagin maintained absolute
silence. He refused to discuss his
mission in Chicago.
Nevertheless, it is known that he
will return to Washington tomor-
row or Monday and that he can draw
an Indictment that will Stick
Although the public generally
does not know it, the department at
Washington realizes that their big
trust cases usually stand or fall in
the validity of the indictments
upon which a case can be proved
and of necessity drawn on what its
author knows the government can
prove. Mr.. Wickersham, above all
others, knows this to be true, and
SO sent his right-hand man to Chi
cago to clear up the question:
Can the packers be convicted?"
Invited to WASHINGTON
4 rumor was circulated to the
effect that an administration official
at Washington called Judge Lands
on the long distance telephone and
invited him to visit Washington
for conference" in which harmony
would be sought" and the jurist
gathered into the administration
fold"
Judge Lands refused to discuss
tha rumor.
When the federal grand jury meets
Monday it will proceed on the main
track Of the beef trust inquiry with
all routine business disposed of.
Within three weeks indictments
are expected by the government in
volving at least four of the heads
of the packing companies allied
with the National Packing COM
pany.

GOVERNMENT IS NOW
AFTER HAMILTON
Federal Authorities Make Demand
On Bonding Company for Res
titution.

OLYMPIA, Jan 29.-Claiming that
former Adjt. Gen. Hamilton is short
in his accounts with the govern
ment, federal officials have made
a demand upon his bondsmen, the
National Surety Company, under his
$1,000 bond to Uncle Sam, to make
good the shortage, and at the re-
quest Of attorneys for the bonding
company, members of the state bu-
reau Of inspection and supervision
of public offices are checking the
military records at Seattle on this
shortage. Attorney General Bell,
who made a demand upon the bond
ing company to make good on the
state bond for $4,000 says he has
been advised by the company that
the matter has been place in the
hands of the companys attorney at
Seattle, John w. Roberts.

e. ().I' IN DISTRESS
PRESIDENT TAFT is APPEALED
To FOR HELP.
He Is Asked to Assist in Stemmjnu
The Tide of insurgency. Is Be.
sought by Republican Leaders to
Demand Party Feaiiy, but Declines
to Interfere.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Repre-
sentative Dwight, of New York, Re-
publican whip of the house; Repre-
sentative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania.
and Representative Boutell, of H.
linois, called at the White House to
see what assistance the president
would lend in stemming the tide Of
insurgency which is said to threaten
the existence of the committee on
rules.
The last cause for alarm on the
part of the regulars was the Fowler
resolution deposing the speaker as
a member of the committee on rules
and trebling it's membership.
The regulars want the presidents
help, but Mr.. Taft is reluctant to be-
come involved in the factional strife.
He made it clear that his main pur-
pose is to obtain the enactment of
certain legislation to which the Re-
publican party is pledged, and, of
course, that he is willing to do what
he can to harmonize the elements in
the party when the point of action is
reached upon any of these measures.
Later today the president had a
long talk with Representative Hayes,
OF California, commonly rated as an
insurgent, and also with Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania The pur-
pose Of the talk with the senator was
to get an estimate of the chances of
success of certain administration
measures.
Apparently prospects were report
ed favorable for the postal savings
bank bill, the Alaskan bill, the bill
validating the withdrawal of pub
lie lands for conservation purposes
and the bill to enlarge functions of
the interstate commerce commission.
