Knights of Pythias, died at 1880 Fri

Camas, accompanied by his cousin,
Mr.. Stout, who arrived from Camas
Saturday night. The remains were
escorted to the depot by members
of the local lodge of Knights of Py-
thias and Uniform Rank.

FOREST FIRES STARTING
Fires on the Wishkah and Hoquiam
Rivers Threaten Logging Camps
and Green Timber

Forest fires, which have been rag
ing on the east branch of the Ho.
Quiam river and the Wishkah river,
threaten all the logging camps OF
both Aberdeen and Hoquiam compan-
les. The fire broke out in a logged
off tract west of the Coats logging
camps early Thursday afternoon, and
a high wind prevailing, the small
blaze was soon precipitated into a
huge fire, sweeping in it's mission of
destruction.
The great danger was seen by log
gers late Friday afternoon and was
watched closely, but as the wind died
down toward night all danger for the
night seemed over. But toward early
morning Saturday fresh wind sprang
up, and it was then that the men were
called from their hunks and placed
at work setting backfires and organic
ing bucket brigades with which to
hinder the terrible foe.
A crew of $50 men have been en-
gagged in fighting the flames in the
vicinity of Polson's camps and the
men are warily watching small fire
which started in Polson's logged-ofi
lands and is gaining headway. Satur.
day the wind veered to the northeast,
placing the Coats logging camps and
the camps of the A. j. West Logging
company in danger. All camps in
that section have been closed and the
men are using their efforts to keep
the fire from reaching green timber.

GRAND JURY RECESS
ADJOURNS TO AUGUST |, TO
TRACE STORIES HEARD.
lnve eStigatiOg Body Find Their Task a
Large Under erfaking, but Seem Deep
lY in Earnest. Extend Invitation
to All Persons Having knowledge
of Crime or Official Misconduct.

AS forecasted by the Herald a week
before, the grand jury adjourned last
Thursday evening until August l, af-
ter having been in session seven days.
1t is evident to all who have follow
ed the proceedings of the jury, from
the outside, of course, that much busi-
ness was being taken before them,
some of it of such importance as to
justify an adjournment to permit the
statements to be run down and either
confirmed or disproved. No witness
es were called Wednesday or Thurs
day, the jury taking the two days to
digest what they had learned and de-
liberate upon what measures to adopt.
Before going into executive session,
the jury made a thorough search of
all adjoining rooms in the court
house, including the attic, to make
dOubly sure that no eavesdropping
would be possible, an idea prevailing
that in some manner the proceedings
were not as secret as the law con-
templates. Foreman Palmer has re-
ceived several anonymous letters, to
which, OF course, no attention was
paid, but he issued public invita-
tion to all persons having knowledge
of crime to appear and make it known,
as follows:
''It is the duty and privilege of every
person in Chehalis county to appear
before the grand jury, now in ses-
sion, and place such evidence of crime
and corruption or grievances before
the body, and said witnesses will be
treated with due respect. All testi-
mony given will be kept strictly Sc
cret. Any communication of an anOny-
nous nature will not be given cOnsid
GRAFTON, as the jury desires sigma
lures of witnesses, since it must have
facts to work on, not merely unsub-
stantiated rumors. All communica-
tions will be kept secret, and the jury
will be glad to obtain evidence of
any crimes committed"
Several witnesses were in Monte
sano Thursday desirous of unbur-
dening their minds to the jury. Among
them was A. B. McAfee, of Hump
tulips, who claims to have evidence
of undue influence being used in Sc
curing change in the location of the
state road between Humptulips City
and Lake Quiniault, a change, he
claims, that adds three miles to the
distance and 33 per cent to the cost.
Mr.. McAfee also desires to have some
inequalities of timber land assess
ments in his locality investigated, all
of which he will have an opportunity
to ventilate when the sessions are re-
sumed.
Mrs. William Gohl also wishes to
make some communications to the
grand jury, and will be Accommodated
next month Just what Mrs, GOhl de-
sires to tell has aroused some curl
osity. 1t is possible she hopes to re-
veal some mitigating circumstances in
the murder of Hadberg, for which her
husband is serving life sentence,
although not very probable. Were
she possessed of such knowledge, it
is impossible to conceive reason
for her silence during his trial. That
she has testimony that she believes
important is all that is known.

PYTHIAN TENT STOLEN
Earl Brooks Steals Tent from En-
campment and Gets Tangled
With the Law.

While the sentinel on guard at the
Pythian encampment was at lunch
early Friday morning one of the wall
tents was stolen, leaving no trace of
the thief Brooks was suspected by
the police, and a search of his room,
in the Cecil hotel, showed a sprink-
ling of straw on the floor, such as
was used in the tent hunks. Officer
Church took Brooks into custody, and
he stoutly denied the theft, but, after
little sweating at headquarters, he
admitted the stealing, and the tent
was found hid under the Cecil hotel.
He was fined $25 in the police court.

MILES P0|NDEX7ER
CHARACTER SKETCH OF SENATOR.
IAL CANDIDATE.
"FearleSS, Clean and Able" Says
Senator Beveridge. independence
and Indifference to personal In.
tereStS the Keynote of His Career.
"ShaII the People Rule"

"Mr. Poindexter," as Beverdge of
Indiana declares, "interprets the spir-
it of the times. He is fearless, clean
and able. He has the vigor OF youth,
the enthusiasm of ideals, the capa-
city to construct ideals into practical
legislation and the courage to fight
for ideals"
This Judgment is confirmed by that
of Dolliver of Iowa. During more
than 30 years in congress this veter-
an has known few, if any, newcomers
who have so swiftly forged forward
to an influence equal to that exercised
by Mr.. Poindexter before the close OF
his second year."
The progressive movement within
the republican party has thus far pro-
duced no more striking character
than Miles Poindexter.
Independence and Indifference to
personal interests have been the
keynote to Mr.. PoindeXter's public
career. AS prosecuting attorney at
Walla Walla, where single false
step might break his whole future
he brought a big thief to justice as
relentlessly as Roosevelt afterward
brought bad corporations to book. AS
Judge at Spokane his course won the
hatred of all who delight in crooked
courses and darkness.
Such a man, such servant OF the
people, could not fail to feel concern
over the serious problems that con-
front American citizens, and to SYM
pathize in every fibre with the Roose-
welt policies. Eager to serve publicly
in solving these problems, he became
the republican candidate in 1908 in
the Third congressional district OF
this state. It's voters are men OF ex-
.ceptional independence. and they
elected him by a majority OF more
than $4,000. -,
He had made it clear that he should
oppose the system and the "organi-
zation" that had dominated congress.
His policies included such reorgani-
zation of congress as should render 1t
responsive and responsible to public
opinion; federal conservation OF ma
tural resources; such tariff protec-
ton to American industry as is meas
ured by the difference between the
American and the foreign cost OF pro-
duction; effective control of railroads
and Just regulation of their rates, lim-
itation of injunctiOns; and an amend
ment to the federal constitution CIV
ing congress power to tax incomes.
The people elected Mr.. PoindeXter
to carry out these policies of theirs.
He has kept his every promise to
them, He has voted against Mr.. Can
non; voted for the reform of the rules
of the house; voted for the revised
tariff; voted for amendments to the
railroad law that rendered 1t FAR
more effective; voted always in the
peoples interest.-Spokane lSpokes'

ISSUES ARE DEFINED
DEMOCRATS WILL MAKE fight ON
Three ISSUES.
Republicans Enter Upon CaWpaign
of Explanation, Be airing the D. uoIe
Burden of AldriCh and Cannon.
Downward Tariff Revision and
Economy the Slogan.

Now that the session of Congress
has ended, attention is being direct
ed to the forthcoming congressional
campaign. The Democratic leaders in
the House have made up their minds
pretty clearly as to the conduct of
the campaign so far as their party is
concerned. The Democrats plan to
make their fight to control the next
House on these three issues:
The high cost of living.
Genuine downward revision of the
tariff.
Economy in public expenditures.
Democratic leaders have gone back
home in excellent spirits and in the
belief that they are surely going to
carry the next House.
"The tide has turned toward u.s."
is the way the Democrats leaders ex-
press it.
Champ Clark, who is expected to
be the Speaker of the next House if
it is Democratic, is confident OF the
outlook.
Representative Underwood, of Ala
bama, who probably will be the next
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee, if the Democrats carry the
House, is convinced the current is set
in favor of the Democrats.
ut seems the whole trend of things
is in the direction of a Democratic
House." said Mr.. Underwood. I'VE
have and will gain many which are
now Republican. We ought to make
a gain of twenty-five districts without
any trouble. That would give us the
House"
Representative Lloyd, chairman of
the Democratic Congressional cam
paign committee, takes an optimistic
view of the situation and looks for
Democratic gains in many states.
The Republicans count on the size
of the country to swallow up their dis
sensions. Insurgents will rampage in
Iowa, and that will be Republicanism
there. Regulars will preach their
sort of gospel in Pennsylvania, and
that will be Republicanism there. In
some instances insurgents and regu-
lars will clash for the nomination, and
in such localities the existence of the
familiar "Republcan harmony" will be
hard to prove.
The usual amount of hypocritical
Chairman Tawney is about to get out
a statement on behalf of the Republi-
can members of the House Appropria-
ton committed in which he will say
that the appropriations" for the ses-
sion do not amount to 100000, 900.
That is, he will not class permanent,
continuing appropriations as "appro-
priations.'
Tawney's figures too, will not in
clude the public buildings bill, the pro-
visions of which, if you please, are
authorized" not appropriated. But
every Republican member who got a
building will be loudly claiming an
other term because of his success in
obtaining the structure, and will be
insisting that there is no real diff
ference between expenditures "appro-
priated" and expenditures "authoriz-
ed "
