Adjournment Of Special Sess-
ion is Finally Agreed on
Saturday.
SOME FIGHTS STILL ON
While There May Be a Hitch
in the Arrangements the
End Is Near.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Adjourn
ment of the extra session of congress 5
at p. m Tuesday was agreed upon
at a conference today between Vice
President Sherman, Senator Penrose
and Democratic Leader Underwood of
the house of representatives. The
conference resulted in Mr.. Penrose's s
decision to introduce a resolution pro-
viding for adjournment on that day.
Mr.. Underwood agreeing to make
every effort to complete the legislative
program of the Democratic house on
Monday.
Follows Announcement
| This action closely follows a formal
announcement on the floor of the
house by Mr.. Underwood that while
| lie could make no promise in advance
| he saw no reason why adjournment
should not be had by Tuesday or We'd
nesday. Mr.. Underwood was the
storm center of questions from both
Democrats and Republicans regarding
the legislative windup plans.
During the discussion. Representa-
tive Lenroot, of Wisconsin, progress
sive Republican. announced that the
cotton bill as amended by the senate
would receive no support from the
progressive republicans.
Underwood Pressed.
Republica. Leader, Mann G. the
house pressed Mr.. Underwood for q
positive assurance az to what he pro
posed to do when the president We
toed the cotton bill. Mr.. Mann de
clared that if the session contiAued
until Tuesday he would not look fol
adjournment for two weeks. He sait
it was necessary to know whether tt
keep the Republican members ir
town.
Mr.. Underwood candidly advised
him to hold his forces. Mr.. Under
wood indicated that he did not wisl
TO say in advance whether an attemp
would be made to pass the bill owe
tho veto.
Mr.. Garner of Texas, Democrat, in
sisted that the house should pass th'
new statehood resolution and the cot
. ton bill and adjourn at II o'clock to
night.
) Mr.. Underwood replied tha ther
was no occasion for unduly rushing
important business, but that 1t wa
} improbable that there would be an
attempt to override the veto.
Mr.. Underwood was careful t
avoid committing himself not to tax
advantage of any opportunity tha
t might be created at crucial momen
by Republican absentees.

Five year old Walter McGraff, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John AcGraff, was
drov vned shortly before noon Saturday
in the Wishkah river, at the intersec-
ton Of Newell and Henry streets, East
Aberdeen. The body was found after
four and one-half hours search.
Shortly before IL O'Clock, AcGran
who had been working on the engine
of his fishing boat at his net raft on
the river, left his partner and the lit
tie boy. while he went to the house
for some tools. AS he came back
almost Immediately, ne met his part

than forty feet from the raft. He
hurried down to where he had left

search of the river. Graphing hooks
and dragnets were used, being oper

Citizens of Chehalis Co. Must

Is Had.
INEQUALITY LAST YEAR
Cost Chehais County Tax
Payers SIS, 900 in State
Taxes in 1910.

MONTESANO. Aug. 1s.-Still
smarting under the unfair treatment
of the state equalization board. which
last year doubled up the valuations
of Chehalis county 100 per cent, fore
ing this county to pay into the state
$198,OO0 instead Of $140,0OO, which
would have been fair taxation, heavy
taxpayers of the county are getting in
readiness to appear before the COM
mission September 6, which is set
aside as Chehalis county day.
The work of getting strong COM
mittee together to attend the session
at Olympia is progressing and many
large taxpayers of the county have
expressed a willingness to go.
Compile Pertinent Figures.
Figures are being prepared to put
before the commission and some
pertinent questions will likely be
asked the members as to how they
arrived at valuations in Chehalis
county last year and why they placed
the figures so high.
Chehalis county paid into the state
school fund last year $4,000 and only
received 81 900 in return. 1t paid into
the state road fund $4,000, and did
not get a dollar return. Lewis county
paid 10000 into the state school fund
and drew out $4,000, and Whatconi
county paid in $4,000 and drew ou,
$4,000 In Chehalis county, the tota
number of days attendance in the
schools was $1,000 more than the veal
before and yet there were 1000 less
school children.
Inequality in Valuations.
An. her thing which the state ta'
oowwis.,,' probably will be called
-.,,., is why railway sid'
tracks in King cohn.. ~
at higher value than the I. -.
tracks in Chehalis county per milo
In King county the main track is as.
sessed at $2S,7S6 per mile, second
track at sS,635.S1, and side tracks at
sS,O43. In Chehalis main line tracks
at s1,622 per mile.
The matter of equality is not shown
in this instance and many citizens be.
leve that, instead of the assessments
of Chehalis county being criminal"
as members of the commission de.
clared, there is something wrong
somewhere else.
