Roosevelt would be made public on

After a meeting of the executive
committee tonight an official statement

that President Taft had been made the

In regard to extending the invitation
to Colonel Roosevelt the statement says:
R0oSeVeIt's Stand Known
The committee at that time fully ap-
preciated the attitude which Mr. Roose-
velt has taken on the pending peace
t>eaties. Nevertheless it felt pleased to
kxtend. .an invitation, feeling that at
least she is in accord with the general
sentiment that will prevail on that oc-
casion.

gentleman at work in the rooms of the
committee had. without authority. pre-
sviously written to Mr.. Roosevelt on the
subject and that the same member

No Friction
It also was said that there was not
the slightest friction among the mem

After Lapse of Statutory
Time-September

After the agony of scandal and Bit
terness which Mrs. Lillian ]. Moore
and her husband, ]. j. Moore, the
wealthy coal merchant and clubman,
passed through in fghting out their
marital differences before Superior
Judge Buck of San Mateo county, all
that they got from the court for their
pains was sound judicial spanking, as
if they were i'll hammered children--no
decree of divorce. for which both had
prayed The apinion came on the heels
of a report of a reconciliation between
the couple, which, their attorneys say,
was unfounded.
1T seems said the Judge in a snappy
opinion. that the differences between
the plaintiff and the defendant. out Of
which has grown this divorce proceed
ings resulted largely from the active
temperaments of the parties and their
failure to look seriously upon the duties
of home life. Their whole conduct
seems to be what we might naturally
expect from the unbridled tempera-
ments of overgrown children rather
than from persons of mature years.
There is but one ray of hope ex
tended TO the two contestants by the
court, and that is, they can wait for
year from the date of their reparation,
or until next September, when they
might use for divorce on the ground
of desertion. OF this matter Judge

~ "a
Ito a direct request of the Rus
sian government, handed to the
Chinese foreign Office by the
Russian charge d'affaires today, that
China promptly resume control of
Mongolia, the Chinese government
declared its inability to comply at the
present moment.
The only action The government is
able to take regarding Mongolia, the
independence OF which has been pro-
claimed, is the appointment of two
commissioners, who have been or
dered to proceed by way of the trans
Siberian railway to Urga, the chief
city, to persuade the Mongol author
tiles, if possible, to renew their alle-
glance to China In view of the pres
ent crisis, it is probable these. commits
sioners will never leave Peking. NJ.
Shekine, Russian charge d'affaires,
handed in the request.
The action of the Russian govern
ment was taken in consequence of the
proclamation Of independence by
Mongolia and the report that the de-
pendency OF Turkestan would be ciit
off from China at the same moment.
The inability of China to assert her
authority in Mongolia at the present
moment leaves the way open, accord
ing to prevalent opinion here, for the
extension of Russian influence in that
dependency, and also the possibility OF
ultimate annexation.
It is assumed here that Russia will
Immediately proceed to carry out her
plans for the construction of a trans
Mongolian railway which will shorten
the route from Europe to Peking by
several days. 1t also is suggested that
Russo-Japanese alliance may result
from the action of Mongolia, as this
brings the Russian and Japanese
spheres of influence in Mongolia and
Manchuria side by side.
Although the Russians declare their
desire that Mongolia shall continue as
a buffer state. the attitude of the Nom
golian princes. who assembled in Pc
king today, depends entirely on cir
cumstances. AS they are not able TO
defend themselves they probably will
accept terms from the Peking govern
ment. whether monarchical or ropub-
lican.

ABERDEEN WON
FROM CENTRALIA
Team from Hub City Loose Il
Champions By Score Of
56 to 0

BY a decisive score of So to 0, the
football eleven representing the Alb
erdeen High school, defeated the
heavy Centralia aggregation last Sat
urday' at Electric park. The game was
a walk away for the champions. who
outplayed the visitors at every stage
in the contest and ran through their
weak defense at will. 1t was the
most humilating defeat a Centralia
team has ever suffered from the
hands of Aberdeen, and for the lat
ter team it atoned for any former de-
feats which might have been received
from the Hub city aggregation.
Aberdeen's big score was made on
a mixture of the old and the new
game. Her fast back field overwhelm
ed the visitors with their battling for
ward passes, onside kicks and mass
plays. Short end runs made consid
cradle yardage, while forward passes
netted Aberdeen big gains. Centralia,
Will tLc cNCepllOH VI dH OCCdSlOudl
successful forward pass, failed to
make yardage single time.
Aberdeen players made brilliant
runs through broken fields and their
ability to carry back the ball, as well
as Blackwell's superior kicking, re-
suited in Aberdeen playing consider
able of punting game.
With one half a minute to play in
the last quarter, Blackwell dropped
a goal from the 80 yard line on a neat
kick which added 8 points to the al
ready big score Aberdeen's victory
is not due to the special playing of
any one or two men, but to it's mag
nificent team work. Centralia out
weighed Aberdeen but it's team work
was ragged. Following is the lineup:

sentative Phil S. Locke of Aberdeen
Mayor Harry Ferguson and c. ID. Nc

Speaking of the matter, Congress

given them in the past has been out
rageous. The Quiniault valley is one
of the richest in the state and it is
entirely fenced by National forest
reserve. In this forest reserve are
thousands of acres of the finest agri.
cultural lands. The two reforcstra
ton nurseries are failures and l am
not IN favor of spending more money
for the work in this section.

canoe, the trip of 80 miles taking less
than six hours"

ELECTION MAY
CALLED SOON
Hoquiam $4,000 Club Asks
Commissioners to Call
Special Election

HOQUIAM, Oct. 23.-The Hoquiam
$4,000 club has drafted a resolution,
which has been presented to the
board of county commissioners asking
that special election be called for
the purpose of placing the question
of creating port district before the
people.
The plan to create a district of the
entire Chehalis county has met with
the approval of citizens from one end
of Chehalis county to the other and
all commercial organizations are
working on the plan. That an elec
ton will be called at an early date
to vote on the matter there is little
doubt and that it will carry their is
no question as not a single opposition
has developed against the plan.
The resolution is as follows:
ITO the Honorable Board of Commits
sioners of Chehalis County:
Whereas. The development of the
shipping facilities of Grays Harbor
will inure to the benefit of the whole
of Chehalis county in that it will
promote an increase of population
with consequent increase in our local
markets, and that the increase in
property values will affect all parts
of the county; and
Whereas, The establishment of a
port district for Chehalis county viii
provide public service organization
with the authority, power and finan-
cial ability to make rules and regula-
tions governing the port; to aid, as
sist in or undertake the construction
of all necessary port improvements
and allow of private owners combina-
ing under local Improvement district
in both dock and terminal improv-
ing; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Hoquiam
Twenty Thousand club hereby
endorses the petition of the Port of
Grays Harbor committee for the call
ing of a special election at which the
voters of Chehalis county may have
a voice in the question of the es-
tablishment of port district as pro-
vided by Chapter 90, Session Laws
of 1911.

UNION MILL co.
II TROUBLE
Selling Lumber at Less Than
Cost of Manufacture is
Cause.

After two years of a struggle
against the low selling price of lum-
Der and the high price of logs, the
Union Mill company finds itself un-
able to proceed farther, and a recev-
ership will be applied for in few
days. The logs on hand will last un-
til next Friday night, when the mill
will be closed down, and, in all prob
ability, be placed in the hands of a
receiver
Ninety-twO per cent of the stock of
the company is owned by Thomas
Pollard and M. r. Sherwood, of San
Francisco, and eight per cent by Alb
erdeen parties. Pollard and Sher-
wood the controlling owners, are al
so the selling agents, and the Pollard
line of steamers have been carrying
the product of the mill to the Califor-
MIA markets. and the minority stock
holders feel that they have been sac
rificed by the majority for the profits
accruing from the freights and COM
missions on sales.
This feeling is strengthened by the
fact that for several months this sum-
mer, the mill was run day and night,
at cost of about $3,50O day, to cut
lumber that was to be sold at a fig
ure that spelled a loss of from 81 to
$3.50 per thousand feet. The small
stockholders, who now stand to lose
their investment, regard this pro-
ceedure as one to simply make
freights for the Pollard ships and
commissions for the selling firm, and
say the mill should have been closed
down six months ago when it could
have been done without having en-
numbered the property. This would
have left the stockholders with the
mill clear of debt, with which opera
tions could have ben resumed as soon
as the lumber market revived.
