Committee Appointed by Governor
Hay Will Present Opportunities
of the State

Dr. Dennis w. King of Wenatchee,
H. C. Sampson of Spokane and Ru-
fus r. Wilson, secretary of the Sc
attic Commercial club, and of the
Washington Development League,
have been appointed by Governor Hay
members of a commission to assem-
BILE and arrange an exhibit of the lum-
ber, mineral and orchard and other
agricultural products of the state to
be shown at the Chicago Land show
from November IS to December g.
and at the ST. Paul Land show from
December IL to December 20. The
commission invites the aid and co
operation of the commercial bodies
of the state in the preparation of
such an exhibit, and urges that they
at once collect such specimens as
will adequately represent the resourc-
es ftheir several sections. There
is no more effective form of public
ity than that afforded by the land
show, and an exhibit of the right sort
at Chicago and ST. Paul can be made
to mean thousands of new settlers
for this state. The members of the
commission, therefore, ask every
town and community to lend a hand
and hedp them make Washington S
display in these cities more complete
and impressive than that of any 9TH
er Northwestern State. All inquiries
or other communications regarding
exhibits should be addressed to Ru-
fus R. Wilson, Seattle Commercial
Club, Seattle, Washington.

MONTESANO, Aug. 23.-According
to the annual report of County School
Superintendent ID. n. McKillip, which
has just been completed, the tinan-

condition. Only fourteen out of the
sixty districts show a net indebted
ness.
The interest paid on bonds during
the year was $13.S66, and on war
rants was $16,1191S. More than
$22 900 worth of bonds were redeem
ed by the districts during the year.
The districts built four fine school
buildings during the year at a cost
o: $S9,9S3, a portion of this amount
being paid for completing a building
az Aberdeen.
The warrant Indebtedness of Ho-
Quam shows a decrease of sol, $50. 10

The amount paid out by the country
for teachers warrants during the year
was $151,033.S9, of which amount Ho
quiam paid $59,952. The valuation
placed on the school buildings and
property in the county is S326,G
and the apparatus and other property
is worth $39,703.
The increase in the census OF
school children was surprisingly small
during the year, there being but for
ty-one more children in the county
than last year. The figures show f.,
o25 males and 1876 females or a to-
tai of 1872 children in 1910 and A.,
OH males and 3,S16 females, making
total of 1888 in 1911.
