the interior finish and furniture

CRUISING THE
TIMbERLANDS
Thirty-Two Men in Field Now
and More win Be
Employed
CRUISING EACH SECTION

Timber May Turn in Priv

CRUISING EACH SECTION

MONTESANO. May 10.-A good
start has been made in the work of
cruising the timber lands of Chehalis
county for assessment purposes, und-
er the direction of Chief Cruiser J.
A. McGilicuddy. Thirty-two men are
now in the field. working generally
from the south and east boundaries
toward the north and west. This mum
bel will be added to as the summer
season approaches, and every effort
made to have the work completed by
August /.
Offices have been secured for the
work in the new Grass block. on Main
street, there being no suitable room
in the court house, with Ed, NJ. Hoover
of Hoquiam in charge. The cruisers
in the field send in their reports. on
special blanks, as frequently as pos
sibie, when they are checked over
and, if they receive the o. X. of Mr.
McGillicuddy are made into perman-
ent record. These records will be
transcribed on tracing cloth from
which blue prints will be made, and
from the sale of which considerable
revenue is expected in the future.
When the cruise is an accomplish
ed fact, and its complete reliability
is established-as Mr.. McGiliicuddy
is determined it shall be--it is be-
lieved that all timber transactions
of any magnitude in the future will
be largely based on these official es-
Inmates, which will necessarily create
a demand for those sectional blue
prints, which will not only contain an
estimate of the standing and down
timber, but complete topographic
description as well.
AS it is proposed to include every
section in the country, the records
will be useful in the assessment OF
all classes of lands. timber, farm and
grazing, affording as they will to the
assessors Office a comprehensive de
scriptiOn of each tract for the purpose
OF taxation.
So far the large holders of timber
lands have not come forward with
their private estimates on their lands
as il was believed they would. in ord
er to reduce the expense, but the in
dications are, now that they realize
the work is actually being done. many
of them will turn in the reports OF
their own cruisers. 1t is rumoret
here that the estimates of the Weyer
hauerser Timber Co. will be furnish
ed the county, which if true would
materially lessen the work and cost
provided their accuracy would stant
the strict verification that Mr.. Nc
Gillicuddy would demand. ShoulC

owners of large acreage would follow
suit. and in this way many thousant
dollars might be saved to the county

At present there is absolutely no

SAILORS FIGHT ON
SCHOONER r. c. SLAOE
Objections to Non-unon Crew Hired
by Captain Results in Lively
Battle at Honolulu

TACOMA, May 10.-Mail advices
from Honolulu yesterday tell of an
exciting fight among the sailors OF
the schooner r. c. Slade and union
sailors ashore. which took place
shortly before the Slade, which is
now 10 days out from Honolulu for
Grays Harbor, left port Capt. Some
rud hired his own crew and most
of them were non-union men.
The Honolulu Bulletin, under date OF
April 81, says:
Three sailors. Fl. Henry, o. Tim
ber and L. G. Scott, who are alleged
by the police as instigators of a
free-fOr-all fight between the non
union crew secured by Capt. Sonerud
of the American schooner r. G. Slade
and a crowd of union sailors. are now
under arrest and pending an inquiry
before the federal grand jury, are
inmates of the city and county Jail.
"A fierce fight occurred near the
upper end of the railway wharf last
night, in which one member of the
Slade crew at least received an ugly
knife wound, alleged to have been
inflicted by Scott.
Scott was brought before the Unit
ed States district attorney this morn
ing wearing a highly discolored op
tic, besides showing marks of conflict
upon his face and body.
"The affray occurred in the neigh

were involved in the combat. The
larger number succeeded in making
their escape before Capt. Nelson and

for the main part to have been made

GERMAN BARK BERTHA
IN PORT FOR LUMBER
First Visit of This BIG Vessel ia
Grays Harbor-loads at
Wilson Mill

The German bark Bertha, we'll
known on this coast, arrived Tuesday
morning in ballast from Port Allen,
Hawaiian islands. The Bertha will
load at the Wilson Brothers mill.
and will take over 100000 feet for
the West Coast.
In size the Bertha is little larger
than the Glenmark. which was on
Grays Harbor some time ago. The
Bertha is well known at Portland,
San Francisco and on Puget Sound.
but it is said that this is her first
call at this port. She is the first ves-
sci fving the German flag to visit
Grays Harbor for some time.

bury.
The report of the Sunday school can
vass of Middlebury was read Saturday
afternoon at meeting of the Middle
bury Graded union, representatives of
each Sunday school in town and sew
eral workers from nearby towns being
present
Plans for the canvass had been in
progress for several weeks and there
was a very general interest in results.
Thirty-five workers from the four
schools were enlisted as visitors. The
visits were made during Wednesday and
Thursday, and II districts were care
fully covered. East Middlebury was
not quite ready and that district is be-
ing canvassed this week.
In the II districts 313 families were
visited and Zip individuals registered.
There were found 113 children in Pro-
testant homes, under five years of age,
258 children between the ages of five
and Is. Of this number 65 do not attend
either of the Sunday schools.
Eleven different Protestant denomi.
nations are represented in the prefer
ences expressed. For the four churches
in town, the number giving preference
is as follows: Baptist, GAG: Congrega-
tional, $50; Episcopal, 176; Methodist,
454. Twenty-three persons give no
church preference. The total church
membership given is 1913
Fifty-two persons promised to be-
come identified with a Sunday school,
and the cradle roll and home department
enroll 102 new members.
Miss Rena Avery, who was the local
superintendent of the canvass, was APP
pointed permanent superintendent for
the following up of the work, making
possible lasting results and continued
cooperation. She will have under her
care the home department and continu-
Gus visitation of homes.
The State field secretary, Miss Balch,
was in this village for the canvass, and
the work was conducted under the State
Sunday School association.

MIDI ebury College Dramatics.


The preparations for producing
Peele's cold Wives Tale" at the Mid
dlebury college commencement this
year are becoming every day more in
teresting. Those to whom the parts
have been assigned are developing an
intelligent and interesting interpreted
ton of the characters, which promises
much for the final success of the under
taking. As the work of arranging the
stage setting progresses the simplicity
and effectiveness of the Elizabethan
stage is becoming increasingly evident.
But at this time a word about the play
itself may not be out of the way. 1t is
on first reading a somewhat confusing
affair, mere budding together of
various old fairy tales; but yet no more
confusing in impression than "Peter
Pan" would be if it were to be read in
stead of seen. Critics have conjectured
many things concerning it; wildly Of
ten, sometimes with an element of
sanity. Really it must be seen to be
understood, for the appeal it makes is
largely the appeal of plays like peter
Pan" and the "Blue Bird" 1t is a
story of fairy magic in which, as Barrie
has done in "Peter Pan," Peele col
lected and arranged around one CEN
trail story a number of fairy tales he
had heard in his childhood around
the fireplace on winter evenings. If
you have ever heard the delighted
laughter of the children as they looked
at Peter Pan" and have seen at the
same time the tears in the eyes of the
older ones sitting beside them, you will
understand little of the two-fold APP
peal of plays like "The Old Wives
Tale" 1t centers about the old fairy
tale of Childe Roland who went to seek
his sister enchanted by wicked
sorcerer; but into the story comes
Jack the Giant-killer, the Three Magic
Heads in the Magic Well, the Poor
White Bear Of England's Wood, by day
an old, worn man, by night bear, and
at the close a touch of that charming
tale which Tennyson has put in so
beautiful form, the story of the Sleep
ing Beauty. One cannot help feeling
that Peele wrote the play primarily for
the children's ears and eyes, and told
the rest of the world that they might
come also to his play provided they be-
haved themselves and treated the real
audience with proper respect and con-
sideraton. We feel as we spend the
last few weeks of this college year
working over the problems presented
to us by "The Old Wives Tale" that
we are going about fitting thing in at
tempting a reproduction of George
Peele's old, crude, but charming pre-
sentation of the tales so dear to his own
youth.
