Believed union PACIFIC HAS
BOUGHT PROPERTY.
Reports from Seattle That the Iron
Works Have Sold Land in Aberdeen
for Fifty Thousand Dollars Sur
prise tine Officials of Company in
This City.

Although generally believed that the
deal will eventually be closed, the re-
ported sale of the Vulcan Iron Works
property in this city to the Grays
Harbor & Puget Sound (Union Paci-
fic) railroad for $4,000 has not been
made so far as representatives of the
Union Pacific here are concerned.
The fact that attorneys Bridges
& Bruener of Aberdeen are handling
the suit of the railroad to condemn
the property and only last Saturday
effected their appeal to the supreme
court is considered to mean that
while some sort of settlement out of
court is contemplated or already
agreed upon, no papers have yet been
signed.
"It seems to me-" said one official
today, "that if the deal had really
been finally consumated, that notice
of some sort would be sent to the
roads attorneys here and action to-
ward dismissing case in the supreme
court taken. 1t is highly probable,
however, that some agreement has
been reached but that no papers have
yet been signed"

UNITED COMPANY SAYS ARRANGE.
MENTS Are MADE.
Notifies Local ChamberOf Commerce
That Negotiations Are Under Way
for the Operation of a Wireless
Telegraph Line Between Aberdeen
and WeStpOrt.

Declaring that negotiations are
now underway for the establishing of
wireless stations again both at Abb
erdeen and Westport, the United
Wireless company in letter to Secre-
tary Allen, has withdrawn it's prop
sotion to the Chamber of Commerce
to take up the matter.
The wording of the letter would in
dcate that the deal between the two
men, who were the former operators
here for the company, will go through
although they will this time take the
handling of the stations upon them
selves, merely leasing the right from
the wireless company.
The reinstallation of such a SER
vice is of course, done for the bene-
fit of shipping circles and the deal,
if consumated, will mean consider
able to waterfront men.

of the flowers exhibited and in the
patronage of the public at large than
the first exhibit held a year ago in
the public library building as to
greatly exceed the expectations of
those in charge of the affair. From
the time the doors were first thrown
open to the public late Saturday af-
ternoon until nearly midnight the
large room was filled to it's capacity
with delighted sightseers.
Nearly every variety of Towering
plant was on exhibition and the room
was one riotous mass of color. The
capacity of the display tables were
greatly taxed and the beautiful bios
SONS were arranged tier upon tier
until one was bewildered with the
blossoms. So large and varied were
the displays and so nearly alike in
quality that the judges appointed to
award prizes experienced a difficult
task. They worked faithfully all af-
ternoon and only completed their Ia
bors late at night.
Aside from the Towering plants
there was an endless number of cut
flowers in which wonderful collec-
tions of sweet peas predominated, and
all of these were disposed OF at auc-

boquets bringing fancy prices, SO splr-
tied was the bidding. Col. N. A.

School,,

With every room and every building
spick and span with the exception
of the J. M. Weatherwax high school
structure, the fall semester of the
Aberdeen public schools will open on
Tuesday, September 6. While the
new high school building will not be
finished, it will be far enough along
so that some of the rooms may be
occupied The uncompleted portions
will include floors in the basement,
lockers for the students, chairs for
the big assembly room and the most
of the gymnasium equipment includ-
ing the shower baths and lockers
which will be installed as rapidly as
possible. The two upper floors will
be practically finished and ready for
occupancy. The machinery for the
manual training department will be
in place and in this room will be built
by the students, under the direction OF
Instructor w. l.. Greenleaf, consid-
erable amount of the furniture intend
ed for use in the building. Desks

The former high school building
will be known hereafter as the Ter

commodate the eighth grade.
The unprecedented growth OF
South Aberdeen has made necessary
the employment Of an extra grade

South Side school.
All of the old buildings have been
thoroughly renovated and placed IN

ADOPTS PRINCIPLES
lINCOLN.ROOSEVfLT CLUB COM.
PLETES ORGANIZATION.
Officers Elected at Meeting Friday
NIGHT and declaration of Primo ipieS
Is Passed. pOindexter Not En-
dOrSed. Next Meeting Thursday
NiQht. Much interest Shown.

Endorsing the efforts of President
Taft to carry out republican pledges,
commencing the policies of former
President Roosevelt and the election
of officers, the recently organized Lin
coln-Roosevelt club held it's first meet
ing at the council chambers in the
city hall last Friday night. The
meeting was well attended and much
interest was manifested in it's delib-
erations.
A long discussion arose over the
question of whether Representative
POindeXter should be endorsed in the
declaration of principles and the con-
:servatives finally won when it was
decided to omit all reference to the
congressman and other candidates un-
til the clubs next meeting, when it is
probable that the senatorial campaign
of Mr.. PoindeXter will be endorsed
and it is probable, also that an at.
tempt will be made to place the club
on record in the interest of other can
didates, notably some in Chehalis
county politics.
Declaration Of Principles.
Following is the declaration of prin-
ciples adopted by the club:
we uCCIdlC Jul dliCeolduCC " tiiO
republican party and to it's platform
adopted in Chicago in 1908.
I'VE commend President Taft for
his efforts to carry out the pledges
of that platform, and the policies Of
his illustrous predecessor, Theodore
Roosevelt.
1--WE believe republicanism is pro-
pressive, not reactionary, and heart
lily endorse the action of the progress
sive members of both houses of con-
gress, in their efforts to make con-
gress a body representing all the peo-
pie, not few special Interests, whose
methods of using the government for
private gain were so strenuOuSly re-
sisted by former President Roose-
welt.
1--WE oppose the attack made upon
the direct primary law by its enc
mics, and pledge our support only to
such candidates for the legislature
as shall make the statutory pledge
to vote for the choice of the people
for United States senator.
Officers of Club.
The following officers were then
elected President, j. G. Pearson;
vice-president, Percy w. McKinlay;
secretary and treasurer, II. c. Dunlop;
executive committee, John J. Carney,
r. Z. Taggert, l.. c. Davidson.

fire CONDITIONS IMPROVE With
RAIN OF SUNDAY.
Believed Now That Many SmOuldering
Brush BiSzeS Have Been Extin.
guiShed. Greatest Danger In Har-
Dor Country Came Thursday But
Change in wind Helped.

With the moderately heavy rain of
Sunday morning, fire conditions, so
far as the Harbor country are con-
cerned, are greatly improved and
whether the rain has been general
throughout the fire zone in Western
Washington is unknown. Reports
from the fire districts, however, indi-
cate that the fires which few days
ago threatened destruction to a num-
ber of towns and also to vast reaches
of timber, are not dangerous and have
been confined, in the large number
of instances, to lOgged-off lands, al
though considerable property belong
ing to settlers and logging companies
has been destroyed. In the Idaho
and Montana fire zones, the fires are
under control, and rain has greatly
assisted there, the efforts of the fire
fighters. More than 200 lives have
been lost in those states, but the loss
to valuable timber in the National
reserves and of large timber and log
ging companies cannot be estimated,
although it is known to have been
enormous.
In the Grays Harbor country, the
greatest danger came last Thursday.
when the entire section was envelop-
ed in a pail of smoke so dense that
one could hardly see more than a
block. But, with the setting Of the
sun, the wind which had blown stead
lily from the east for two days, shift
ed to the west, and the sea breeze,
laden with vapor and fog, soon clear
ed away the smoke. Light rain fell
Friday night and again Saturday
night and Sunday morning and yes
terday the air was clear, and pure,
with no suspicion Of smoke in the
atmosphere.
The greatest danger on Thursday
menaced the logging companies on
the Humptulips and HoQuiam rivers
and hundreds of men from the camps
were employed in protecting property.

REGULARS iNSURGE
Threaten to Boycott Seattle Sena-
torial Candidates in Interest OF
General Ashton

What has the appearance of insur-
gency in the camp of the regulars
developed Friday in Aberdeen, when
a petition was circulated and gener-
ously signed, directed to John l.. Will
son and Thomas Burke, and asking
that either one of the other withdraw
in the interest of harmony and to
prevent the selection of Miles c.
Poindexter as the choice of the re-
publicans for senator at the Sept9m
ber primaries. In the event that tho
withdrawal is not promptly forthcom-
ing, the Aberdeen republicans declare
that they will flock to the standard OF
Gen, James M. Ashton, the Tacoma
candidate. The petition was wired to
Seattle Friday night.

CHANGES
MADE IN
THE PLANS

The directors of the Gary CONNER
cial club will meet this afternoon for
the purpose of considering the proper
steps in proceeding with the cons true
ton of the Commercial club building
on Broadway. 1t is believed that a
new set of sketches for the proposed
building will be asked for from the
architects and that the contract for this
work will be let again.
This step becomes necessary in view
of the fact that the plans of Architect
j. E. Hammons had previously been ap-
proved and later they were found to be
inadequate, in that the proposed build
ing could not be erected for the sum
which had been appropriated. It is
planned by the directors who have the
building matter in charge. however, to
rush the architects much as pos
sible with their sketches. SO that there
will not be an unnecessary delay In
awarding the contract and have the
plans drawn ready for the contractors
bids.
This matter will be discuss ed at the
meeting of the Commercial club this
evening and the report of the action
taken by the directors submitted. AS
far as is known at the present time
there will be no other important bust
ness transacted this evening.

DIR. MACKEY THE
Representative

DR.. Richard Mackey of Hobart was
in Gary last nigth as special rep
resentative of the State Grand Master.
F. and A. NJ, and inspected the local
Masonic lodge rooms. AT the same
time DR.. Mackey examined the officers
of the Gary lodge.
Dr. Mackey sent in a favorable re-
port to the Grand Master this morn
ing and 1t is thought the dispensation
will be ganted by the end of the pres
ent week to institute the local lodge.
The various COMMITTEES will not be
instructed to proceed to make arrange
ments for the banquet until dispense
ton has been received and date set
for the installation of the lodge.
On next Saturday night the entire
staff of officers of the local lodge has
been invited to Hobart where they
will fill the chairs of the Hobart lodge
room. Last night upon entering the
Gary lodge room several of the officers
found a beautiful new piano in the
lodge rooms, which had been presented
by the Ladies of the Eastern Star so
ciety The Eastern Star will use the
lodge rooms in the future for their
meetings.

BONDING
CONTRACT
NOT LET
Only One Gary Bank Puts
in Bid for Sale Of $45, 600
Worth of Municipal Pa
per, and Council Refuses
to Grant Contract.

The Gary city council met last night
in special session for the purpose of
selling the $4,000 worth of bonds
which are being issued at the present
time. Only one bid was received, that
of the Gary State bank, and they were
refused the contract on the ground
that the rate of interest which they
demanded CT per cent was too high
The opening of the bid precipitated
considerable wrangling, which finally
ended in the temporary adjournment of
the council meeting to the private office
of the city judge, where a star cham
Der session was held for the next half
hour. This evidently did not result in
anything being accomplished in the
way of a compromise. so that the coun-
Gil was again called TO order by the
mayor and they proceeded to vote on the
proposition. The Gary State bank was
turned down by vote of four to three,
the councilmen voting as follows:
Yeas-Siemiasko, Szymanski and
Bowser; nays-Castleman Feuer
Walsh and Rowley.
Those voting for the bid of thesGary
State bank were in favor. of giving
the contract for the bonds at per cent
because of the short period for which
they were to run, which they thought
would justify the high rate. Mayor
Knots and the others, however,
thought that per cent was plenty
high enough for any kind of a bond
issue for Gary
A peculiar fact was that no other
bank in the city bid for the bonds. 1t
is thought the bank of which City
Treasurer e. C. Simpson is cashier and
the bank of which Mayor Knots is
vice president have set a precedent by
not bidding on city contracts. Neither
one of them submitted bids, evidently
because they felt 1t would not look
right, as a letter writer recently sug-
gested to THE TIMES.
| The final action in the matter was to
appoint a committee TO confer with
President H. G.. Hay of the Gary State
bank and if it is possible to get him
70 lower the rate of interest which he
| demands to per cent. This report
will be made at the next meeting
The bonds are in a series of three
due in two, four and six months. There
are nine bonds for $4,000 each.

Albert Lewis, who will as chief be

been a resident Of East Chicago the
biggest part OF his life. He is neces-
sarily very well known in East NChica-
so and has large circle of acquaint-
ances in the fIarbor also His business
is paper hanging and incidental to that
he has been an alderman from the
First Ward for the past four years, al

city's affairs. lie was a candidate for
mayor before the primaries, but with
drew the day of the evening the time
limit expired for putting up the can
didates assessment and thereby quail
flying for a place the ticket. His
appointment was no surprise, as 1t has
been expected by local politicians for
some time.
Mike German, who was appointed
night desk sergeant for the East Chi
cago police station, has been the
force for almost ten years and has a
record that any policeman might well
be proud of. The only hesitancy felt
by the powers that be in putting Mike
on the desk was the loss the Depart
ment would sustain in taking such a
y<u6d rananuoff- tine street. john Thomp-

Indiana Harbor, is also a veteran on
the local force. as well as having done
police duty in Elmira. n. Y, before
coming here eight years ago He has
served six years in the department in
terms of three years each, three having
been a short intermission between his
two TENS of service. Incidentally Ser
geant Thompson is bachelor, but
strange as it may seem, all females in
distress invariably hunt up the genial
John to tell their troubles to. Leo
Mccormack, who will have charge of
the East Chicago desk during the day,
has not been on the for ce as long as
Sergeants German or Thompson. but
has demonstrated his efficiency during
the year he has served Like Thomp
son. however. he is no stranger to po-
lice duty, having been a member OF
the Terre Haute force before he came
here ten years ago. Sergeant Nc

for the expression. Frank Barker

thing he hasn't taken q shot at an6
he generally makes a success of what
lie undertakes. He has lived in In

Sergeant Barker has the brains, adapt

Business Men Commend The
Times for Articles and
Say Views Are Held by
Four Fifths of People Of
TolleSton.

Business men of Tolleston are unani-
nous in their condemnation of the ac-
ton of the town trustees in appropriat-
ing $500 from the public fund for the
purpose of fighting the annexation of
that town to Gary. The sentiment has
been found SO strong in Tolleston in
favor of this action that the nerve of
the officials in taking the step that
they did in the face of public opinion
is a source of wonder.
A prominent Tolleston man called
at THE TIMES office last night and
offered congratulations for the stand
that this paper had taken toward the
annexation question and the trustees
of Tolleston. He also stated that the
article expressed the opinion of four
fifths of the people of the thriving
town.
I'VE do not intend to allow ourselves
to be imposed upon in this manner"
said the man who requested that his
name should not be used at the present
time "A number of business men in
the town have assured me that If any
further action Is taken by them in that
direction steps would be taken to the
citizens to enJoin them. Public senti-
ment has been aroused in Tolleston
over these Job preserving officials, who
feel that they will loose little in
