MANY MARRIAGES IN STATE
Marriages Licenses Bring in S57, 7O3.5O-
1OS Licenses in Chelan County

At the rate of $3.50 each, the mar
riage licenses issued in the various
counties of the state netted the sum of
$57, ,703.50, and the total number of
marriages was 12,823, as is shown by
figures compiled by the state bureau of
inspection. This is at the rate of one
marriage on an average Of every forty
minutes, or over !, 900 a month, and
figuring the population at 1000 it
means that there was one marriage to
every forty-eight persons in the state.
Of the 1898 marriages, King county
furnished almost one-third or 1928,
while Spakane county had 2,349 and
Pierce county 1853. In Chelan county
there were 108 marriages in 1910.
Owing to the fact that the receipts for
the auditors office do not show accu-
rately the number of licenses issued, as
the prices vary in some instances, these
figures were taken from the receipts in
the clerks office. The clerk receives
one dollar for every license recorded,
so the 1898 licenses recorded repre-.
sent 1898 actual marriages, but do
not show the total number of licenses
issued in case some of those issued
were never returned.

Up to this time the fires of 1911
have done but little damage to the
green and standing timber Of the state,
according to State Fire Warden Welty.
Although there have been many fires in
the southwest and also in the northwest,
they have been confined to logged-of
and burned over lands for she most part
and the loss has been merely nominal
this year.

The cost of collecting taxes varies
greatly in the different counties of the
state, according to figures compiled
by the state bureau of inspection from
reports on file in that Office from the
various counties, by which it is shown
that in Lewis county it cost but 54
cents to collect each 500 worth of
taxes, and in Island county it found
the highest cost of $2.74 for each 500
in taxes. In Chelan county the re-
ceipts in the treasurer's office amount
ed to $400, ,442.94 in 1910 and it cost
$5,301.04 to run the office. This
means that it cost $1.32 to collect each
800 in that county.

A delegation from the Olympic Pen

Hoquiam, interviewed Secretary of the
Interior Fisher in Seattle recently and
urged him to take steps which will per
NIT mining and prospecting in the
Olympic National Monument. Under
present conditions large mineral stores
are locked up unnecessarily. 1t is con-
tended that these privileges can be
granted without interfering with the
domain as national park. All the

Washington are back OF the movement.
The secretary agreed to give the mat
ter careful attention.

A letter has been received by Secre-
tary OF State I. M. Howell from a man
in Colorado who writes that because
Oregon sends out plenty of literature
describing the state and its resources
that all his neighbors are going to that
state instead of Washington which
sends out but little such literature. All
the booster literature of this state has
been received by this man but he
wants more information about the
Olympic Peninsula. There is only
limited amount of literature to distribute
however, as the last legislature allowed
only small appropriation for publicity
work.

the conference Of governors to be held
at Springlake, New Jersey. The sub
iect of his address before that body will
be Employees Compensation" and it
is expected that before he leaves for
the East the supreme court will have
decided whether the Washington law is
constitutional or not.

When President Taft comes West
this fall, to participate in the ground
breaking ceremonies at the San Fran
cisco exposition, he will visit Seattle,
according'to the program announced.
This will probably be the only stop in
Washington. AS next year will be
presidential year, there is considerable
interest being taken in the coming trip.
It is an unwritten law that president
never makes tour of the country when
he is candidate. Hence, the forth
coming Taft swing around the circle
will probably be made to have some
political results. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the president will be can
didate to succeed himself and as such
he will get the nomination.

I
but they are all extensive, and most
of them practically inexhaustible.
One OF their--,ttost striking features,
too, is the fact Of their exceptional
purity, making them available for the
manufacture Of the finest grade of
products.
These indeed would be sufficient for
any State to boast of, but when one
considers that in connection with them
There is also an lnexhaustible supply
of natural gas for the manufacture Of
products from these resources their
importance and value are considera-
bly, enhanced.
During 1909 It was estimated, from
such sources as data was available,
that the output of natural gas in West
Virginia was 156,4S5, 100000 cubic feet,
and less than one-third OF this was
consumed in the State, the rest being
sent to adjacent States. This figure,
however, does not approach the capac-
Iity9of the States gas wells, because it
is said on good authority that within
25-mile radius Of Clarksbnrg, which
is in the center Of the States most
productive gas fields, the capacity Of
the wells in that section are sufficient
to produce 1,OOOOO0,O0O cubic feet
daily. This natural gas is sold to
manufacturers in West Virginia at
prices ranging from to 10 cents per
1000 cubic feet, according to the 10.
cation and other manufacturing condI-
tons. In comparison with coal, wa.
ter.powers and other methods of pro.
ducing power, there is none as cheap
as this. Always back of this, and In
surfing additional cheap power, is the
fact, that 81 of the 30 counties of the
State are underlaid with vast coal dc.
posits of the finest grade in the coun-
try, so that manufacturers locating
in West Virginia, even If the gas sup.
ply might at some future time become
exhausted, can obtain coal cheaper
than it would be possible in any other
section.
When one considers all of these
facts, there is wonder that capital and
investors have not sooner appreciated
the magnificent opportunities await
ing them in West Virginia.
They are, however, awakening to
these opportunities, and each year
sees additional plants of large cali
Der being located within the State:
But What has been accomplished Isl
as nothing compared with the great
possibilities available. West Virgin
ians feel that they are on the verge
of the greatest period in the States
industrial history, because at last its
resources are being given the consld,
Grafton they merit. They are not slow
to see the drift ofaffairs, and conse,

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14.--Another
name nationally known appeared in
the trial of James B. Mcnamara, for
the alleged murder of Charles J. Hag-
gerty in the Los Angeles Times ex-
plosion a year ago.
Oscar Lawlor, formerly an assistant
attorney general connected with the
department of the interior, who fig
uIed in the so-called Ballinger-Pin
cbot controversy, so it was announced
today, is attached to the staff of Dis
trict Attorney John d. Fredericks.
Lawlor was United States district at
torney for the southern district of
California before he went to Wash
ington.
The sixth venire on the case was
summoned yesterday and appeared in
court today for preliminary hearing
before Judge Bordwell, at which those
who desire are allowed to present per-
sonal and business excuses for the
courts consideration.

Miss Hanno both in the morning and
evening.
On Thursday evening an illustrated
lecture was given at the Kline school
house. Principal Snyder, Mrs. Schry-

school. A large crowd was present
Definite plans in regard to the short
