Yet They Are Condoned By
Each Session of the
Legislature.
GOVERNOR SHY THIS TIME
Why Do Not the Solons En-.
force the Laws While
They Make Them?

OLYMPIA, Jan. 22.-(SpeciaD.- -
That sensational charges agains, . ey-
eral departments of state will be
sprung in the legislature before the
end of the week and that a searching
investigation into methods of conduct
ing state offices will be demanded by
the men behind the charges, is an
open secret in Olympia. Representa-
tives have begun to line up on ques-
tions which will appear as a three
cornered fight directed at George B.
Lamping, formerly adjutant general OF
the state, Henry l.. Bowlby, state high
way commissioner and f. ". Ross
commissioner of public lands. Friends
Of the men under fire say that if an
investigation is asked for they will
vote for it but that it will be the
most complete and thorough ever un-
dertaken in the state. Every depart
ment will be gone over from top to
bottom. The fight is now on. 1t is be-
ing waged under cover but not the less
fiercely and is one the membership
of the committee which will make the
examination
The talk of Furnishing Lamping for
permitting the militia to exceed the
appropriation by S12,600, is regarded
here as somewhat of joke. that is re-
peated at the beginning of every ses
sion. Although the law makes it a
crime for any state official to create
a deficiency, incur a liability or ey
pend greater sum than is appropriate
ed by the legislature for any certain
purpose, excepting only the manten
ance of penal and other institutions

partments, growls little, appropriates
money to cover the deficiencies, and

Suggests That Aberdeen and
Contiguous Territory Would
Make New County.
BIG SAVING FIGURED OUT
Hoquiam Could Travel Thru
New County in Going to
its County Seat.
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
Why not petition the legislature for
a bill creating the county of Aberdeen
taking in practically the same terri
tory as is now in the city limits OF
Aberdeen, allowing a reasonable lati-
tude for expansion. The balance OF
the county would not be concerned
in this matter, HOquiam does not
seem to favor being segregated from
the East end, and by the vote four
years ago indicated that they did not
want the county seat in that city, and
in the division matter later on indl
Gated that they were satisfied to con-
tinue to go to Montesano to transact
their legal business.
Under the Aberdeen county propc'
sition, the rights and pleasures o.
Hoquiam would not be interfered With
They could pass through Aberdeen
county on their 16-mile journey to the
county seat, as we'll as continue their
proprietary interest in the magnlfl'
cent courthouse at Montesano.
Aberdeen pays in the neighborhood
of $4,000 per year to the county for
the maintenance of the county gov
ernment, in addition to a large sum
annually in the shape of fees to the
court, sheriff and auditor. The total
of those sums would be more than
sufficient to pay the cost OF new
county government, and leave a sur
plus that would reduce the amount OF
taxes now paid.
Aberdeen's share of the new court
house will be at least 100000. which
we would avoid paying by new coun
ty plan, and this amount could be used
in the erection of a court house fol
the new county In addition to the
saving above set forth, there would
be a saving of at least 100000 year

WHEN YOU KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT

When you know you're doing right,
There's a sense of rest and peace,
And the world is sunny, bright,
From all woe there's sweet release
You can face your critics sneers,
You can make a manly fight;
You can stand the jbes and jeers,
When you know you're doing right
When you know you're doing right,
How your very being thrills!
There is not a cross in sight,
You are free from woes and ills
Life is just a cheerful smile;
You are happy day and night,
And your work seems worth the while
When you know you're doing right
When you know you're doing right,
When you stand by what you do,
Foes may criticise and smite,
Yet you'll faithful be and true.
You will not be drawn aside,
But stand firm with all your might
With a sense of honest pride,
When you know you're doing right
When you know you're doing right,
You can rise above your foes,
And ascend to any height,
Spurning grievances and woes.
You are led in pleasant ways,
And in paths of joy and light
To the ending of your days,
When you know you're doing right

PREACHING THE GOOD FARM
GOSPEL

1t is becoming every day more APP
parent that the gospel according to
Jim Hill is good thing for the farm
ers and the producers of this coun-
try. 1t is gospel of safe and sane
conservation. 1t not only breaches
the back to the farm movement but
it teaches the man on the farm to
come forward and take the place Of
prominence he is entitled to in the
economic development of the age.
Practical farming, the work of ag-
ricultural colleges, the scarcity Of
competent farm labor and the dimin-
ishing food supply are topics that are
freely discussed by Mr.. Hill and al
ways to the practical benefit of the
movement he is seeking to further
if his suggestions are carried out. Mr..
Hill rightly holds that it is the man
on the farm who is not only to be
his own salvation but the salvation of
other men who will be attracted to
the farm because of the improved
conditions that have been made in
farm life.
1t is the man on the farm that
must redeem the farm, and his first
problem is in the improvement of his
crops. If he is successful in raising
full crops Mr.. Hill thinks that he
can be trusted in improving all his
home surrounding and consequently
his social conditions. Prosperity on
the farm comes mainly from raising
good crops and uniformly good crops
and this result is reached only when
the individual farmer understands his
farm, and is able to make the best
possible use of it's fertility and pro-
ductiveness.
Mr.. Hill advances another sugges-
ton that is well worth thinking over
and it is a suggestion that directly
effects the laboring class and may help
70 relieve the congested labor market
eoNSN
,arm labor, and the want of it in the
country is compelling the farmer to
INIT his cultivation practically to
What can be done by machinery. In
Dther words there is a growing de-
nand for the farm hand that is able
10 mix brains with his business, and
rive Intelligent direction to the work
IN the farm.
If we are to have intensive cult
yation, there will be need for greater
personal supervision to the units,
consequently more need for mer
trained in the work of soil cultiva
ton. Young America seeking flu
ture calling would do well to pay
heed to the need for trained service
in the great agricultural industry.

cifc passenger depot. This building
is one of the most ornate in the city,
erected at cost of $4,000, making
an Improvement that is heartily ap-
preciated by the business public and
particularly by those who have an eye
for the beautiful. Had the Northern
Pacific Railroad company known of
the enconiums that were going to be
hurled in it's direction upon the COM
pletaion of a new depot, it is believed
that it would have been built some
time ago. But it is there now, and it
is beauty, big enough for city Of
10000, and of such proportions as to
please even the eye of st. Gaudens.

TOPPENISH TRADING COMPANY
First Mercantile Institution In Town
Has History

Frank A. Williams, president of the
Toppenish Trading company and pres
ident of the First National bank, is
one who watched the city of Toppen-
ish grow from it's beginning. Thir-
teen years ago there was but one bus
mess house in town, that of the Top
penish Trading Co., with Mr.. Williams
in charge. 1t was the old Indian trad
ing store. In those days Topper
ish was not on the map. The only
other building there was the North
ern Pacific section house. The bus e.
mess has grown with the growth Of
the city, and the company is now in
corporated with a capital of 100000.
z. Y. Coleman, vice-president and
manager, and VIM. M. MCGOWAN, Sec
rotary and treasurer, are the presi-
dents right and left bowers.
Two additions were made to the
original building before plans were
drawn for the new buildings, which
were occupied for the first time in
September, 1908. The old structure.
now utilized by the company for stor-
age purposes, still stands, a monu-
ment to pioneer days and a landmark
to the Indians and early settlers who
made it their headquarters.
The main store building now occu-
pied by the company covers an area
of S5x110 feet. Directly back of the
structure is the harness and imple-
ment building, with floor space Of
50X140 feet.
The buildings are of brick con-
struction, steam heated throughout
and lighted by electricity. In the va
rious branches of the business staff
of &c people is employed. An inter-
communicating telephone exchange
CONNECTS all departments, which COM
prises the dry goods, suits and cloaks,
mems and boys wear, hardware, gro
ceries, and the hay, grain and coal de-
partments.

The terrible Turk does not seem
any worse than the barbarous Italian
when the dogs of war are let loose
The veneer of civilization is not after
all very deep. 1t covers over the
primitive man but it is easily scatch-
ed and then we plead the unwritten
law and the national honor to justify
the deeds done in the heat of our
red blood. For years the world has
been criticising the ''Unspeakable
Turk" but in comparison the Italian
atrocities at Tripoli are as brutal and
inhuman as any record of the Turks.
1t seems when ever war is declared
the license to take human life in the
name of preserving the national honor
let's down the bars and lets in the
demons.

YAKIMA VALLEY
GETS HIGH HONOR
The Grand Prizes at the New York
Land Show Will Be Supple
mented by Silver Cup

1t is a source of much congratula-
ton on the part of fruit growers in
the Yakima valley that the honors of
the New York Land show came to this
section. In competition open to the
world, where fifty entrants competed
for the grand prizes it is matter of
some distinction that the first prize
and second prize both fell to the same
locality.
In winning the first prize for the
best display of rs boxes of apples
Mrs. Ella D. Rowland of Zillah won
not only the grand prize offered BY
President Howard Rowland of tn.
Northern Pacific but also the silver
cup given by A. G. Hanauer of Spok-
ane. And Robert johnson of Fruit
vale in winning second place in the
contest will receive in addition a sill
yer cup from the Northern Pacific
a message to that effect having beer
received by the local officials herr
yesterday.
The success of the Yakima exhibit
is due in great measure to the work
done by Frank 8. Kinsey Of this city,
who is the expert selected by the
Northern Pacific to gather, arrange,
pack and ship the fruit that went
forward from the Yakima valley. The
result reflects great honor on his skill
and judgment President Elliott him
self is very proud of the prominence
given this valley and wired congratu-
lations to Agent c. c. Burdick as fol-
lows:
The winning of the apple prize by
the well known Yakima valley in the
Empire State of Washington with its
rich and varied resources, puts the
stamp of national approval on the pro-
duction of finest quality of fruit. The
Northern Pacific railway and Great
Northwest have worked together for
thirty years but the next ten will show
far greater growth of agriculture,
commerce and good citizenship than
was accom- plished in the last thirty,
and the winning of these prizes shows
the possibilities of the beautiful
Northwestern states where the North
ern Pacific has been and is an i'm
portant factor in the progress past,
present and future.
''Please express my personal graft
fication to Mrs. ROLAND and to Mr..
Johnson, delighted to know the Ylk-
ina valley has taken it's rightful place
as great fruit growing district

LABOR UNION GOOD
FOR WORK|NGMAN

President Charles R. Case of the
State Federation of Labor, who spoke
at the First Congregational church
Sunday night, told of the good that
was being done for workingmen by
their unions. He declared that the
reforms they were obtaining in the
laws affecting the working man were
helping the non-union man as well as
the union man. He declared that the
labor unions were the greatest force
for temperance, and are affording
better opportunities for getting an
education.
Among other things being worked
for by the unions is the primary cleo
ton law, and he continued, I'VE are
trying to get a definition of fellow
servant to do away with the prac-
tice of the courts in this state of fol-
lowing that of the old English COM
mon law. Conditions have changed
since that was originated. Then every
employer knew his men and their
qualifications. Then no man was COM
PEELED to work with another If he did
not want to and his fellow servants
were his friends and acquaintances
In this day a workman may not even
know his fellow laborer, and It is ri
diculous to hold him responsible for
the acts of his fellow servant and
to hold the employer without liability
| for accidents.

now and want to accomplish are a
minimum wage for women, and the
initiative and referendum. Those

sibilities of the beautiful northwestern
states. The Northwest has made good
and amply justified the faith the rail-
roads have had in it's development,
and the railroads who have worked
so zealously in exploiting the country
are to be congratulated as well as
the people who have settled in this
part of the country.
The exhibit made at the New York
Show and the winning of the prizes
by exhibitors in Yakima valley will
be a publicity boost that is something
very much worth while. The people
of the east have heard of the Won
derful productivity of the golden west
but in many instances they have at
tributed it to fairy tales originating
from the west such as just been
made in New York will convince the
most skeptical that the west is able
to measure up to all that has been
said in the way of exploiting her
possibilities.
In connection with the congratu-
latory telegram sent here by President
Elliott there is something significant
in the expression, The Northern Pa
cific railway and the Great Northwest
have worked together for thirty
years but the next ten will show far
greater growth in agriculture, com
merce and good citizenship than was
accomplished in the last thirty" 1t
shows the faith and expectation that
large man of affairs has in the fu-
ture of this country. Pres. Elliott
sees a larger development possible in
this country in the next ten years
than has been made in the last thirty
years. There is no room for pessi-
mism after considering the signifi-
canoe of that observation coming as
it does from man who is in a po-
sition to forecast the future with
greater accuracy than others are able
to do, because of his connections
with one of the greatest of factors
in the development of any country
the railroad interests, that furnish
transportation of the products of the
country to the markets of the world.
Production and distribution are great
economic factors and must always
join hands in the development of any
section. Cooperation between the
producers and the railroads is of
prime importance and this co-opera-
ton is expressed and it's continuance
duction.

THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF AVA.
TION

Flying across the continent at rate
of a little over mile a minute actual
flying time, covering a total of 1858
miles in 1888 minutes is the achieve
ment just accomplished by Aviator
Rodgers who in landing safely at Pas
adena becomes the first coast coast
aviator in the history of the world.
His average speed for the distance has
been 51.3 miles an hour, speed near
ly double the average speed per hour
of that of the fastest trains across the
continent
culties and delays on the trip, but in
spite of that has won notable VIC
tory. His longest sustained flights
have outdstanced the records of the
fastest express trains for the distance
and were made with little effort,
demonstrating the fact that the~ per-
fected machine under skillful control
furnishes the means for mans most
rapid method of transportation.
The problem of perfecting the ae-
roplane is still before us but the dis
covery of the principle upon which
mans conquest of the air is to be
based and been made and its applica-
ton amply demonstrated. OF course
, there are to be safety appliances and
improvements looking toward the per-
fected machine, as there are in all
other great achievements for the APP
plication of scientific principles to the
solution of material problems but
the great principle which is to be the
basis for all this has been discovered
The first photograph or telephone
is a crude continuance compared with
the perfected instruments of today
but the principle is the same and up
on this principle the present day ma
chine has been constructed and made
possible. The seroplane of next veal
will show the same improvement tina
the 1912 model of the automobile
shows over the old patterns. The pro
gress in mechanical appliance in the
United States has been the marvel O
the world This same skill and ell
genuity will now put to work tn,
aeroplane with an assurance of a
great results as there have beei
achieved elsewhere.
Enough has been done in the art {
flying to justify the assertion that maj
is as certain to complete mis- conques
of the air in the evolution of
machine perfected for safe and con
tinuous flight as to say that he ha
solved the problem of transportation
by electricity. The development an,
extension of the principle will be tn
one great problem for the Twentietl
century. But at the rate at which tn
development is progressing the en-
is already in sight.

And over you the golden southern
