TIMBER TAX Stands
BOARD REFUSES TO REDUCE The
ASSESSED VALUATIONS.
WeyerhaeuScr SyndiC3te Must Paw.
Grand Jury'S Action in Taking
Hand Prevents Probable Cut and
Gives People Relief. Has Paid It's
Way.

Completing it's labors the Chehalis
county board of equalization adjourn
ed at Montesano last Friday night but
prior to it's adjournment, all applica-
tions for reduction in timber land
values in ranges and 8, as well as
in many other parts of the county,
were rejected, and the increase in
valuation heretofore placed on the
holdings of the Weyerhauser syndi-
cate was allowed to stand.
The adjournment came when it was
learned that County Commissioner
Willis G. Hopkins would not be pres
ent and that three members of the
board were opposed to reduction. The
decision of the equalization board to
allow the valuations placed on timber
to stand in the above mentioned rang
es came as great surprise, as it was
the argument of Commissioners Hop
kins and Arland that the timber was
raised out of proportion to CORES
ponding timber in other portions Of
the county and that they were of the
opinion that it should be lowered To
have carried out this idea would have
resulted in the decrease of timber
values to the extent of fully half
million OF dollars.
Jury Does Good Work
1t is felt that the publicity given to
the proposition to pare values by the
board of equalization, SO promptly
after the news was first heard and tho
prompt manner in which the grand
jury took hand resulted in prevent
ing cut in values by the board which.
it is practically certain, would have
been the case, had the jury not been
in session.
"The Chahalis county grand jury
has paid for ITSELF" said a prominent
citizen last Saturday, land if it doesn't
do another thing it has been the best
investment that Chehalis county has
made in some time. There was no
question about the attitude of the
board regarding a reduction in the
Weyerhaueser timber and l am con-
fident that, had not the grand jury
been in session, the cut asked for by
the big corporation would have been
made. The members of the grand jury
are business men and they were quick
to see the necessity of prompt ac-
ton and that they have the interest
of the people at heart is evident.
Those county officials, too, who came
out and voiced in no uncertain terms
their opposition to a cut, are also ell
titled to no small amount of credit
for their stand. The people of Che
halls county have suffered long
enough with Inadequate valuation of
timber lands owned by the big foreign
corporations and it is time that some
thing was done. The grand jury has
filled a long felt want and are entitled
to the thanks of grateful commun-
ity"

the great tides of immigration that

SOUTH BEND JOURNAL PROVINCES
FOR SPOKANE Man.
Editor HaZeItine, an Influential Re put =
liCan Leader, Gives His Reasons
for Supporting pOindexter as "the
Only Candidate without a Sack"
and Stands for Progress.

AS showing the trend of public sen.
timent on the question of the United
States senatOrship it is worthy of note
that the South Bend Journal, one of
the leading Republican weekly news
papers of the state has come out fiat
footed for Poindexter for the senate.
Mr.. Hazeltine, editor of the Journal
is well known as an influential Re-
publican leader and his conversion to
the new and progressive Republican
ism for which PoindeXter stands is q
matter of more than ordinary impo--
tance. The following editorial utter
ance from his ready pen will be read
by Republicans generally with con-
siderable interest:
"The matter of choice between the
many candidates for U. S. Senator
has not been so easy as it was two
years ago when the choice lay be-
tween w. l.. Jones and Ankeny and
then there was every reason for lin
ing up with Jones and not one good
one for Ankeny.
This year it is easy to eliminate

anyhow. Along with many others
we have been honestly puzzled as TO
the claims of the others who are in
the race. PoindeXter, Wilson, Burke,
and Ashton. Other things being
equal there is natural leaning to-
ward a west side man inasmuch as
the holdover, Jones, is from the east
side. Ashton's local investments in
this county would naturally incline
us to him and the Journal has been
an Ashton supporter and urged him
to run for congress, but it is our
judgment as a result of inquiry, and
wide state acquaintance that he has
not a ghost of a show, that he came
into the race too late, that his own
county, Pierce, is not solidly back
of him, but is likely to go to Poin-
dexter, that he make good impress
sion wherever he goes but he can't
see enough people between now and

RECESS FOR MONTH
GRAND JURY P0STP0NES FUR.
Their SESSION TILL sept. 20.
DevOteS Last Saturday to "SmeIiinu
Trip" About County,. Visits Har.
Dor Cities and !nSpeCfS JailS and
Theaters. Finds Satisfactory Con.
ditiOnS at Poor Farm,

Sprlnglng succession of surprises
on the people of Chehalis county. on
Saturday, the members of the grand
jury announced late in the afternoon
that adjournment had been taken un-
til September 30. Coming at a time
when it was supposed that the BODY
had cleared the decks for hard work
and would get down to business with
a vengeance, beginning today the an
nouncement of the long recess caus-
ed considerable comment.
On Smelling Tour.
The jury sprung good one Satur-
day. Following the announcement.
made Friday night, that it had ad-
journed until Monday morning, the
members got together early Saturday
and, embarking in automobiles, start
ed on smelling tour of the different
municipalities of the county. The
men came first to the Harbor and
suddenly appeared at the city hall
ready to Investigate" They went
through the city bastile and after
ward investigated the fire department.
Here Chief Schneider sent the horses
through the hitch up" drill for the
cNAAN'' VI tiiC Jul nlCIl. AllGTWdIu
the Grand theater and fire ESCAPES was
inspected. Hoquiam and Cosmopols
also received visit from the Jury
and if anything was found which was
deemed illegal. or not strictly in ac-
cordance to HOyle, nobody is aware
of it.
Poor Farm o. X.
Returning to MOntesano, the jury
stopped at the county poor farm and
made thorough investigation of con-
ditions there. Members of the insti-
tuition were interrogated and found
to be satisfied with their treatment
by the keeper of the place. If there
is any i'll treatment or mismanagement
as has been limited, those who accom-
panied the jury on Saturday declare
that it did not develop. The Smell
ing tour" continued to Montesano and
to Elma, the jury returning to Mon
tesanO late in the afternoon, where
it was announced that further delib-
erations would be postponed for one
month or until September 90.
1t is believed, among some, that the
jury has practically finished it's la
bors and that the smelling trip of
Saturday came as the grand finale of
clare, however, that there is much
their extended session. Others de-
work yet to be done and the recess
was taken to permit the jurors to
attend to their private business in
terests preparatory to q long session
when next they convene. 1t is also
limited that, during the recess, an ef-
fort will be made to gather evidence
in certain matters which will be TAX
en- up after re-assembling.

sively imposing square block in the
Margarethen suburb has been provi-

No expense has been spared and no
detail overlooked. The construction
Is especially strong, so that the heav-
lest machinery can be safely installed
on the top floors. There are elevators
capable of carrying 1000 pounds.
Every workroom has its own eemer-
gency iron stairway in case of fire or
other accident. There is an abundance
of lavatory and toilet room accommo-
dation. The window easements are of
metal, with gutter at the bottom to
carry of the steam from the glass.
There is a plentiful water supply and
capital ventilation. The basement
dwellings are protected against damp
