Checking Up
" Bridges Shortage

James c. Drake, formerly u. S.
marshal and recently a candidate
for the place of Nick Lawson, gets
the job.
Bridges was removed by a
court order issued in San Francis
co by the circuit judges on a
showing made by Special Examin-
er M. G. Masterson. The latter
says Bridges has received fees
which are not accounted for on
his books.
The job pays about $1,000 a
year, and is one of the softest
snaps in town.
Attorneys have been kicking
for some time about the charges
in the local office. The judges
here, however, have stood back
of the clerks both here and at Sc
attle and have sanctioned what
looked to the attorneys like pure
grabs.
Recently the court has even re-
fused to let the poor census enum-
orators indicted have copies of the
charges against them unless they
paid Bridges the outrageous price
of $S for a copy that would not
take an hour to make.

WORKED HERE
SAYS THAYER

That dynamite used in the
blowing up of the Lyons building
in Seattle was bought in Tacoma
by James B. Mcnamara, who was
at that time living in Home col
ony, is the startling charge made
today by James B. Thayer, head
of the Burns detective agencies in
the Northwest.
Mcnamara later skipped out
of Home colony in a launch just
ahead of a warrant for his arrest"
says Thayer.
Mcnamara tried to get anoth-
er man in Home colony buy the
dynamite for him but he refused.
So Mcnamara came here himself.
At the store he asked for GO per
cent grade, saying he was going
to blow up stumps. The clerk,
who is now subpoenaed to appear
at the Mcnamara trial, told him
that 40 per cent was strong
enough but he wanted the heavier
charge.
"They didn't have it in stock,
so Mcnamara came back the next
day and got 1t.
"They were experimenting with
the Lyon building to see how big
a charge would be required for

TO GO AFTER
MIDDLE
FARMERS AROUSED ARTICLES FORM COOP
ERATlVE STORE IN TACOMA - GItANGERS START


A cooperative producers and
consumers league for Tacoma!
Did you read those articles the
other day in the Times how the
Pennsylvania farmers found they
were getting only 46 cents of the
dollar the consumer was paying
for their wares? Well, so did the
grangers in Pierce county.
And they got busy in short Or
der.
At the Puyallup fair Wednesday
the grange had a meeting. The
afternoon was devoted largely to
discussing the problem raised by
the Times stories of how Farmer
Kjelgaard led his neighbors into
a cooperative plan whereby they
eliminated the middleman and di-
vided his profits with the consum-
er.
It looked good to the grangers,
the idea of cutting out the COM
mission merchant, the retail deal
er and the rest who take toll
on their goods and they are going
to do business.
A committee was appointed
with one man from each grange
in the county to take action es-
tablishing in Tacoma the Coop
erative Producers and Consum-
ers' League store.

BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis,
Oct. Far more serious conse-
quences of the Black river flood
and the bursting of the Dells dam
than were at first expected are
apparent here today, and the dis
astrous news which is pouring in
from various counties along the
river banks is as yet far from
complete in it's tale of casualties
and property loss.
Several are reported dead, and
hundreds rendered homeless. Par
tial accounts of the property dam
age In five counties estimate it is
from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000.
Communication with the farm
districts has not yet been re-
sumed, and it is feared there has
been loss of life in the outlying
sections.
Towns Wiped Out.
Hatfield, near the big dam of

pany, which was hardest hit by
the flood, is reported to be COM

ed the property loss there will be
appalling. Probable casualties
cannot be estimated. At many
other places immense losses have
been suffered.
Onalaska is in most precari-
Gus position, with the river raging
far out of it's banks there, and it
is feared that the town will be de-
stroyed. 1t has been deserted by
