SOUTHWEST NOT
T0COTOSEATTLE
Business Men Disguised With
Divided Metropolis, Call
Off Proposed Banquet

There will be no special session of
the Washington Legislature at the re-
quest of the Southwest Washington
Development association, for its exc
cutive council at Chehalis Thursday
decided to make no such request.
Neither will there be any banquet
Of the 200 or more representatives of
the 40 commercial clubs of the South
west association held in Seattle on
the 9th of April, as had been par
TALLY planned. These decisions We're
reached after a report as to the ac-
tual situation in the city of Seattle
regarding the Pacific highway and
other state road projects had been
made known on report of Secretary
Barnes, who attended a meeting of
the Pacific Highway association in
Seattle Monday night
Previously assurances had been Civ
en- the Southwest association eXecu
tive council that Seattle business and
other interests had matters so shaped
there that actual results might be
secured from the proposed getting
together of her business men and
those of Southwest Washington. a
more complete investigation satisfies
the men at the head of the South
west association that Seattle's var
ious interests are as far apart as
they ever were, and that apparently
no concerted effort has been made
to bring pressure to bear on the SEN
atorial delegation from that county
that would insure satisfactory road
legislation if the extra session We're
called.
The position which the Southwest
Washington Development associa-
tons executive council, which is com
posed of President w. J. Patterson,
chairman of the road committee; Ed
ward c. French, of Aberdeen, n. B.
Coffman, of Chehalis, vice president
and chairman of the executive COM
mittee; Chairman A. c. Little of Ray
mond of the publicity committee, and
Secretary J.. f. Barnes of Centralia
takes in regard to the joint subjects
of the proposed extra session and the
Seattle banquet, is that Seattle is
as unharmonious as ever, and that no
real good can result from the ban
quet The members do not care to
ask $50 Southwest Washington bust
ness men to go to Seattle and attend
Banquet merely for a love feast
gathering. 1t is practical results for
every county in the association from
the largest to the smallest that they
are after, and the work of the or
ganization is intended to be main
tanned along absolutely practical
lines which shall mean something tc
the people of this rapidly growing
section Of the state.

The reason is that there is no record of that assessment. County Judge B. R. Screeton and Circuit Clerk R. J. Hodges called upon Governor Donaghey and Attorney General Norwood yes terday to discuss the subjects ,and ascertain some means of getting out of the difficulty. They were advised that there is nothing to be done but to extend the taxes on the tax books for 1910, which escaped destruction, having been kept in another place. This was suggested as the better plan, ra- ,ther than to defer this years taxes, which would require the collection of two years taxes at one time.

Airman Will Carry Mail At Fort Smith Aviation
 Meet.

Fort Smit jy. B. When Postmaster ] nie.lak Bumgardner yesterday afternoon received permission from Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock to es- tablish an aero mail service at the aviation meet to be held nere Saturday and Sunday, arrange ments for an event, which, it is predicted, will prove the great est in the history of the South west, wer. complete. This aero mail service will be the second of it's kind in the history of the United States.
 Lincoln Beachy, who will carry the sacks of mail from the avia- tion field to the postofflce, is a commissioned mail carrier like Hugh A. Robinson, who will par ticipate in the meet here
 Workmen began yesterday to erect a temporary postoffice at the aviation field. A regular postal business will be conducted there as far as the sale of stamps and the stamping of mail is concerned. A special stamp, telling that the mail was delivered by aeroplane, will be affixed to each piece of mail de- posted in the aviation postoffice. Mail will be limited to postcards. Stamps will be sold on the grounds. The postoffice will be in charge of Assistant Postmas- ter Mapes and Clerk Emmett Morris.
 After the mail is assembled, 1t will be loaded on the aeroplane and brought to the federal build ing, where it will be dropped on the lawn. Beachy will be guided to the postoffice by an automo- bile carrying the officials of the Fort Smith Aero Club. Arrange ments have been made to carry at least 100000 postcards from the field to the postoffice.

That there are 155, 900 acres |of government land in Arkansas open to homestead entry, but not fort sale, is an interesting item contained in a bulletin just issu- ed by Guy w.

N . II tions,

Governors are to be chosen next Tuesday in Kentucky. Ma. ryland, Massachusetts, Missis- sippi, Rhode Island and Virginia, and in the same states legisla- tors are to be chosen. In New York City the usual fight be- tween Tamany and the rest of the field is on over the election of judges, and in several cdn- gressional districts representa- tives are to be chosen.
 The only state contests which are attracting much attention are those of Maryland, Kentucky and Massachusetts. In Mary land the democratic ticket is led by Arthur Pue German. The re- publicans are putting up a strong fight and owing tc the fact that the primaries at which German was nominated were marked by numerous frauds, there is a possibility that they may defeat him.
 There is also a fierce fight in Kentucky between McCreary, democrat, and O'Near, republi- can. McCreary will probably be elected. His success, however, if he is successful, will be large ly due to the fact that the dem- ocrats will vote for him in order to hold their state in line for the contest of next year, for his op- ponent is conceded to be the bet ter man of the two for the posi- tion sought.
 The most interesting fight is going on in Massachusetts, where Eugene Foss, who was elected to congress in a republi- can district on the tariff issue and then became governor, is opposed by Lewis A. Frothing- ham, the present lieutenant gov ernor. Floss adheres to his posi- tion on the tariff and attacks President Taft's vetoes. Froth. i iingham is a standpatter. Fort Smith Times-Record.

Governor To Wait For Pay.

Governor Donaghey discover ed yesterday that he would be compelled to wait for some time to draw his salary for the month of October or accept about 10 per cent less than the face value of the warrant issued to him by the state auditor by discounting it at local bank. The governor is one of q number of state Otfi- cials and employees. who have been hit by the depletion of the general revenue fund. Some of the officials and employees, hav- ing a more or less intimate knowledge of the condition of the states resources, were on hand al the state treasurer s of- flee bright and early on the morning of November 1. Some of these were lucky enough to get their warrants for their Oc- tober salaries cashed before the general revenue fund was ex- hausted, but there were still sev- eral in line when the last dollar had been, paid out.
 Governor Donaghey deposited his warrant in the bank in the usual manner and the amount was credited to his account. Then the bank discovered that it could not collect on the war rant and Governor Donaghey was asked yesterday to give his check to the bank to cover the amount of the warrant. The governor called up three banks and asked how much they would give him for the warrant Two of them offered him 93 cents on the dollar. and the other 90 cents. The governor still has the war rant.
 There is one way in which the holder of an unpaid warrant may be reasonably certain of getting |the full amount of his warrant. Tiff he stations himself in front of the paying teller's window in the state treasurer's office and stays tthere long enough and his war rant is not too large, he will get his money. Small amounts are paid into the general revenue fund every day and warrants are Icashed by the treasurr as long as the money lasts.
