Monday the county commission
ers granted the petition of the
majority Of the residents of school
district No. Is blue Valley to
withdraw from the Meridian High
school, and 10 be consistent the
board reconsidered the petition Of
the Remington district residents
mo. 400 and granted II also
This was done in the face Of the
sho wing that the petition Of Dis

were renters and who are not ,af.
fected to the amount of one cent,
whatever the decision was. 1t is
said that on the Blue Valley
petition The names of renters on
several big ranches appeared.
Asked as TO the effect of the two
districts leaving the high school,
DIR. Fl. + Neal says the movement
in his opinion is the result of a
misrepresentation The rural high
school tax is only small amount,
and win be very much smaller
next year. In fact the combin.
\ ~. "a.
alton Of several districts is made
primarily to secure the state APP
portionment Of $500 for each high
school teacher, and he says the
rural high school can run even il
there are but two districts, one
outside of Meridian, and in case
OF but one, the tax could be omit.
ted entirely from this outside dis
trict.
The dissatisfaction evidenced in
the petitions dates back to the orig.
inal election to organize, and grew
ont OF the fact that the polls foi
this election were held in Mer.
idian, through an error in the law
which has since been corrected
Another thing that works against
the high school just at this time il
the fear that taxes, which are
already too high, will be increased
but showing was made during
the hearing of the Remington
district petition, that the sponstel
and chief worker in circulating
the petition would pay less than 81
additional tax.
OF the original eight districts
in the high school, four have with.
drawn, Upper Fairyiew, Victory
Blue Valley, and Remington, and
those remaining are Locust Grove
Cloverdale, Roosevelt and Mer.
idian. Those Withdrawing this
week are liable for this years tax,
and will share the benefits of the
school this season,
Joe Mckinney, of Blue Valley
ia thus legislatsd out of office as
a member of the high school board
and new member will be selected
by the commissioners.

THE COUNTY FAIR
Plans Are Under Way for tho Erec
tion Of Suitable Buildings in Eiec-
tric Park

For the purpose of arranging for the
coming Chehalis County Fair, Vice
President J. E. Calder, of Montesano,
and Director E. L. Brewer, of Satsop,
were in the city Friday and with
Manager Quackenbush, looked over
the grounds at Electric park. They
were accompanied by Manager j. s.
Thornton, of the Grays Harbor Rail
way & Light Co.
Manager Thornton expressed q will
ingness on the part of his company
to make all arrangements possible to
accommodate the fair, and the Wis
iting officials were we'll pleased with
the opportunities afforded at the park
for exhibition purposes. Messers.
Calder and Brewer said they had been
assured of the hearty cooperation of
the farmers throughout Chehalis coun-
ty, and that they had every reason
to believe the fair would not only be
successful, but that the display of
products would prove a surprise to
many old residents, whose life in the
towns has not given them an oppor-
tunity to keep pace with the agricul-
tural progress of the county in the
last few years.

SHINCLE MILLS
STATE REOPEN
Curtailment Of Months Pro-
duct Reduces Supply to
Point of Profit.

SEATTLE Aug. Accommodating
Monday morning, shingle mills of
Western Washington which have been
idle for several weeks will resume
operations. The curtailment cam
paign inaugurated early in August
came to an end last night. Shingle
manufacturers declare the curtail-
ment movement was one of the most
successful ever undertaken in the Pa
cific Northwest and that no less than
1000 carloads of shingles were kept
off the market as a result of it, The
shutdown was the first ever attempt
ed in midsummer.
Manufacturers, however, do not eX-
pect that the results of the curtail-
ment will be felt Immediately, but
that the benefits will be scattered
over the next few months.
Coincident with the resumption
of the shingle mills came cut yes
terday in the price af star shingles
The price was cut cents per thous
and to the trade in North and South
Dakota. bringing the quotation dowr
to $1.4S per thousand.
The cut in price affects only the
trade in the Dakotas, where the de
mand has recently fallen off ant
where poor crops lead dealers here tc
believe that fall demand will be light
A letter received in Seattle yester
day by prominent shingle man stat
ed that one line yard concern in south
ern South Dakota has temporarily
closed Iorty yards, owing to the poo
consuming demand. Other report.
for sections of the Dakotas are of tn,
same character. The demand fo
some portions of both states, however
ia fair.
The price of clear shingles was no
cut, nor was the price Of stars to th'
trade in other states resuced.

Have Good Reason to
See Prosperity Ahead

Farmers in the Chehals, Satsop,

silos have been erected during the
summer, which are now being filled
with oats, clover and vetch for winter
feeding purposes.

creek valley, the first experiment with
alfalfa has been success. The own.
er has taken two crops this year
while the third crop is we'll under

alfalfa will be grown more extensively
next year in Chehalis county.
The potato crop gives promise OF
being good, and number of farmers
in the Humptulips valley say the
crop will pass last summers yield by
20 per cent

season were profitable for the farmers
while the apple, pear and plum yields
are better than last season. although
