TO CARE FOR BOYS.
Movement Started for the Benefit OF
Boys. Summer Outing Camp
and Juvenile Court.

A meeting was held Friday even.
ing in the city hall for the purpose of
organizing a boys club, largely ont of
the members of the boys camp near
Westpcrt, and to discuss the forma.
tion of juvenile court. Owing TO the
scant notice. the meeting was not
so largely attended as il would have
been with more publicity, and it was
decided TO call public meeting to-
morrow evening. in the city hall, at
which all interested are invited to
be present.
A subject of more importance than
the proper direction of boyish en-.
ergies is difficult to conceive. The
old system of repression has long
been abandoned for the more rational
theory that the lively boy gives prom
Use of the enterprising man, and that
his activity should be directed into
amusing. healthful and moral chan
nels.
A committee, consisting of Chief of
Police Archer. w. A. Rupp, w. L.
Greenleaf and Samuel Meyer was ap-
pointed TO call the meeting tomorrow
night and arrange for the organiza.
ton.

ed in East Hoquiam

HOQUIAM, Jan. S.--Fire which
started shortly after 2 o'clock this
morning, in the boiler house of the
Posey Manufacturing company for
a time threatened the big plant with
destruction, but was gotten under con-
troll before it had reached the main
plant. The boiler room is about 40
feet from the main structure.
Before the fire department had
time to reach the scene, the men
working in the factory had gotten the
private fire hose out and had stream
playing on the blaze.
BY the efforts of the fire fighters
at the mill and the city fire depart
ment, the plant was out of danger at
o'clock this morning.
The only damage was to the boiler
room and this morning Manager H. F.
Shanneberger stated he did not be-
lieve it would force the closing down
of the plant. The mill was erected
about Is months ago at a cost of
about 100000.
The blaze is believed to have
started in the sawdust in front OF
the boilers. used for firing, although
this is not definitely established.
Fire yesterday Afternoon damaged
to the amount of about $3.50, the resi-
dence of Mrs. M. J. Counts, 2209 Simp-

rived before the blaze, which started
behind a stove in room on the sec
ond floor, had gained much headway.
The damage to the furniture was
about 500 and to the house about
S150.

while a building such as projected

a valuable advertisement for the city.
The building proposed is to be of

ANNUAL WATER REPORT.
Superintendent Values City Water
Plant at Nearly Half Million
Dollars.

In his annual report, just filed,
Water superintendent McDougall
estimates the water plant of Aber-
deem at Si45, 300, basing his figures
on the basis adopted by the American
Water Works association. The re-
port says:
That there are present 24S miles
of mains of four inch and larger and
7.63 of street service mains; 5000
service, 446 metered, $500 flat rate
and the remainder, protection taps"
The income for the plant the past
year was $5S,500, an increase of 49,
000 over 1909, Notwithstanding a
notable decrease of rates since July
/, 1910. The amount of water pump
ed was 100,000,000 gallons less than
in 1909, owing to the improved serv-
ice and stoppage of leaks.
The cost of operation, the report
states. was 80 per cent of the gross
receipts. This is higher than neces-
sary, it is stated but is due to the
antiquated pumping machinery which
compels the burning of a large am
cunt of fuel. The cost of the i'm
proyements is stated to be $20,S50
and maintenance charge of $500
which was necessary. leaving a bal
ance of 500 to meet Indebtedness
or a. total gain of s34,35O for the year.
No charge is made for depreciation
and the superintendent recommends
the creation of depreciation fund"

COMMISSION Plan
Discussed BY Committee OF
CHAMBER OF commerce
WILL AID IN FRAMING LAW TO
BE ENACTED, AND SECURE
DATA FROM EASTERN CITIES
-WOULO ELIMINATE PARTY
POLITICS AND TRY TO ELECT
COMPETENT MEN.

The committee appointed by the
Chamber of commerce to consider the
commission form of government as
applicable to Aberdeen met yester-
day afternoon in the office of w. J.
Patterson and talked the subject over.
Mr.. Patterson leaves this week for
an extended trip in the eastern sta
tes, and will visit Des Moines, Indian
apolis, Galveston and other cities in
which the system has been tried. and
will keep the committee informed of
such data as he obtains. j. C. Hogan
will go to Olympia this evening to
learn the text of the bill prepared in
North Yakima, and an effort will be
made to have the bill framed to
suit the conditions existing in the
only cities in the state that will be
affected, Aberdeen, Hoquiam and
North va, lima.
While the committee was unani.
nous that the commission form was
| capable of becoming a vast improve
ment over the present system, it be-
came evident as the discussion con-
tinued that, like all other plans und-
er popular form of government, the
measure of its success depended upon
the intelligence and civic pride of the
people of the city. Under the admin.
| istratiOn of corrupt or incompetent
men the commission plan would be as
corrupt and expensive as under any
other form.
The plan outlined i'll North Yaki.
ma would provide a mayor and two
commissioners for Aberdeen, who, if
the right men could be secured and
elected could easily reduce the rum
ming expenses of the city 40 per
cent. 1t was pointed out that com.
petent managers cannot be secured
for the salaries named. $4,000 for
mayor and $4,000 for the commission
ers; that manufacturing concerns
doing business of no greater volume
than the city gladly pay much larg-
er salaries-and it pays them--and
that the amount Aberdeen could af-
ford to pay would attract all sorts
of incompetents and misfits as well as
political favorites To obviate the
latter class, it was suggested that
blanket ballots be provided at the
primary elections, in order that par.
ty politics may be entirely eliminated.
AT present the mayor and council
cost S4.100 for salaries. as against &c.
800 under the plan of North Yakima.
There is no room for doubt that three
honest. competent men could save
the city many times the sum of that
increase in salaries, while in the
hands of men otherwise disposed it
might be made even more expensive
than the present systematic failure
Of which is admitted. In the ultimate
end the result lies with the people, a
great majority of whom desire to Sc
cure the best government possible
for the least money, but too many
Of them think they cannot take the
necessary time to assist in the Sc.
lection of the officials, or fear to take
a definite stand upon questions of
public import least it might ''injure
their trade" Commission plan or
any other, it will be found that good
city government bears the same
price mark liberty was said TO have,
eternal vigilance"

TO UNSEAT LORIMER
QUESTION OF Procedure IS.
UP TO CONGRESS TODAY
IF GUILTY OF BRIBERY A TWO
THIRDS VOTE WOULD BE RE-
QUlRED TO ExPELL, WHILE IF
BUT THE BENEFICIARY OF
BRIBERY A MAJORITY COULD
UNSEAT HIM.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. T.
thirds vote or only a majority of the
senate to unseat Mr.. Lorimer as a
senator from Illinois is a question
that has arisen in the contest about
to be waged.
The answer rests upon whether the
opposition of Lormer seeks to con
meet him with any corrupt practices
or merely attempt to show that he
was the beneficiary of corruption
for which he was not responsible.
Senators who have made close
studies of election contest cases
seem to agree that if the resolution
to unseat Mr.. Lorimer should con-
tend that he was principally involved
in the bribery charges that have been
investigated, the only course would
be to vote on the question OF eXpul-
sion, to carry which two-thirds of the
the affirmative.
Majority in Second Plan.
If the motion We're to declare the
election of Senator Lorimer invalid
and void, and it was admitted there
was no evidence to connect him with
the bribery, only majority would be
required to adopt the motion.
Under the first situation, or that
which would connect a senator prin-
cipally with corrupt practices, it is
said the contest must be between the
senate and the individual senator un-
der charges, while in the second case
the contest would be between the
senate and the legislature which ell
ected, or the governor who appointed.
the senator involved.
1t now looks as if the fight would
be open in the senate Monday, al
though Senator Beveridge has not
yet admitted that he intends to file
minority report from the commit
tee on privileges and elections. The
general understanding is that he will

The Beveridge report is expected
to provide the means for a Lewiston
or sentiment for and against Lorimer
Some of the senators favorable to
LOrimer have said the case ought to
go over for a few weeks. that the
sentiment of the country might be

sentiment has nothing to do with the
case and the senate must now sit il

which must be decided upon evidence.
A postpOnement of consideration only
could be had with unanimous con-
sent, as the question involved in the
proceedings are of the highest priv
ilege and may be called up at any
time by the senator.
If the case is opened on Monday,
as seems likely, the general impress
sion is that it will continue until dis
position is made of it.

sion was P. j. Hutchinson. of Boston,

yond merely pension for the emplOye
himself.
