ARIZONA KILLS
INSURANCE BILL

Phoenix, Ariz.. June 3.-The Ari-
zona senate defeated today the meas
ure intended to provide for a tax upon
all foreign insurance companies doing
business in the state. The principal
objection to the bill was that it pro-
vided for graded tax, whereas mem
bers declared all companies should be
treated alike.
The senate passed a bill to create
the office of state librarian with a
salary of $2,400 per annum.

there is a great deal working beneath

naked eve, Senator Albert B. FAN is
no nearer election tonight than ne

changes and sudden shifting OF the
scenes have been characteristic Oh

in the capitol for only few minutes
during the morning and then ala not

went feverishly to work to pass SIX
senate bills, four of which were intro

For the purpose of investigating
conditions on GrayS Harbor and meet
ing the shippers and business men of
this section to ascertain what amount
of business they might offer should a
packet steamer be placed on Grays
Harbor-San Francisco run, II. w. Rob.
erts, general freight agent for the Am

arrived on Grays Harbor yesterday.
At meeting OF the Commercial
club in Hoquium during the afternoon
Mr.. Roberts said that at this time
his company was carrying sugar from
Hawaii and the vessels might be
brought to this harbor. f. O. Nc
Glauflin stated that in case the yes
sells brought their freight to this har-
Dor. lumber could be shipped via the
Panama canal to the east coast at a
40 cent rate.
Mr.. Roberts refused to make any
statement as to what his company
might do but said that he was looking
around trying to get line on the fu-
ture and if there was an opportunity
to build up a business, his company
would consider the matter seriously.

ENDORSE EDITOR
AS CANDIDATE
Albert johnson Gets Endorse.
ment of Commercial Club
for Congress

HOQUIAM, Feb. 1.-(SpeciaD-
Albert Johnson, proprietor of the
Washingtonian, was unanimously en-
dorsed as a candidate for congress
at a meeting of the Commercial club,
held here yesterday. Mr. Johnson
has decided to accept the nomination
and will run as a candidate at large,
instead of from this district.
Mr.. Johnson's endorsement was
made by A. c. Galliac, of Aberdeen,
following brief report made by Mr..
Johnson of the meeting of the South
west Washington Development asso-
citation at Olympia last week. John
son had received the endorsement of
the newspaper men of this section at
banquet given in their honor and in
his report, Johnson modestly omitted
this.
Johnson recently made a trip to
Washington, D. c., as a delegate to
the National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress and secured considerable adver
tising for this section. He worked
hard to show the advantages of this
section, so that appropriations would
be made
81 am a candidate because / believe
that | have a good chance to win,
after receiving the endorsement of
the press of this section at their re
cent dinner in Olympia" said Mr.
Johnson. 81 believe the people of this
state recognize the Importance of the
Grays Harbor jetty. | believe they
know this is a big thing and see no
reason why they will not support
candidate at large, who has this par
ticular motive for being elected to the
office.
"In making the campaign. l will be
compelled to spend the most of my
time in the eastern part of the state,
and must leave Seattle Tacoma and
Southwest Washington in the hands
of my friends. l will have little time
to spend in this section, if I am to
canvas the remainder of the state"

GRAYS HARBOR is HONORED
BY APPOINTMENT OF E. C. MILLER

with his father in the wholesale grain
and produce business. In 1898, the
firm of Miller, Miller & Paine, whole
sale Grain & Produce, was formed by
Mr.. Miller in conjunction with his
father and Mr.. A. L. Paine Four
years later, Mr. Miller removed to
Detroit, where he became a member
of the firm of Bamlet & Miller, engag-
ed in handling their own property in
terests and estates. In order to be-
come familiar with contracts, Mr..
Miller attended night law school for
a year. Mr.. Miller was engaged in
this work several years and came
west in October 1904, to examine the
lime deposits on Roche Harbor with
an idea of going into the cement man
ufacturing business. While in De-
troit, Mr.. Miller had some experience
in the manufacture of Portland ce-
ment. On arriving in the sound cit
les, he Immediately visited the vari-
GUS assay offices and accidentally
meeting a mining engineer, was told
of the deposits of lime and clay
around Baker, now called Concrete,
Wash. Mr.. Miller personally investi.
gated these deposits and found a
bluff of lime and one of clay near to
each other, making an ideal spot for
the manufacture of Portland cement
Mr.. Miller took options on the land
and putting on his overalls worked
with crew of men until the close of
February. During that time he finan.
ciered, constructed and began operat-
ing the plant which was the first
Portland cement plant to be built in
the Northwest. It was success from
the start, requiring no changes in
any way and made money from the
first day of it's operation. 1t is now
one of the most successful institu-
tions in the Northwest.
Mr.. Miller was married in 1898 to
Miss Minola S. Anderson, daughter of
H. n. Anderson, of Greenville, later
of Aberdeen. Two beautiful children
We're born of this union, Catherine
Minola Miller, aged fourteen, and Har-
old Anderson Miller, aged eight. Mr.
Miller made Aberdeen his place of
permanent residence in July. 1909. He
became associated with the Union
Cooperage Co. and became also a
member of the Grays Harbor Railway
& Light Co., during February, 1911.
Mr.. Miller has been president of the
Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce dur
ing the past year and has established
a record in that position that has nev-
er before been equalled. He is mem

OLYMPIA, Jan. 3O.-After consider
ing the names of men prominent in
almost all quarters of the state, Gov
ernor Hay yesterday announced the
appointment Of L. C. Miller, of Aber-
deem, as member of the public
Service Commission, to fill the va
/ cancy of j. G.. Lawrence.
That the announcement was pleas.
ing to Grays Harbor goes without
saying, coming as it does to a man
of worth and standing, with no po-
litical pull whatever. The public
utilities commissioners are, practical
ly the highest officials in the state.
Their actions, judgments and decis-
ions have a more far-reaching influ-
ence on business matters than those
of any of the various branches of
state government.
In congratulating the state upon Sc
curing the services of Mr.. Miller
if it does secure them-the Herald
feels as if it will be sacrificing some
thing to the public good. 1t will be
difficult for this city to find a man
able and willing to so successfully
occupy the position of president of
the Chamber of Commerce as has Mr..
Miller.
Although the acceptance by Mr..
Miller of position that would prac-
tically remove him from Aberdeen,
his place on that commission would
be capable of such vast importance to
the Grays Harbor country, in it's
struggle for a fair deal commercially,
that the Herald feels constrained to
suggest that he accept, even if in
so doing he may at a present per.
sonal disadvantage.
Sketch Of Mr.. Miller
Ernest Chester Miller was born on
a farm short distance from Green,
vile, Michigan, October %, 1870. His
mother was English, his father a Con-
necticut- Massachusetts Yankee, this
branch of his family tree being relat-
ed to the Tafts. His grandfather, r.
G.. Miller, was a pioneer of Green.
vile and was a member of the Mich-
gan legislature. His father. o. c.
Miller, was a farmer owning and oper-
ating farms all his life as we'll as
in later years taking up the profess
sion of merchant. Mr.. Miller's family
was one of the substantial families
of Montcalm county, Central Michi-
gan.
When boy, Mr.. Miller moved with
his parents into Greenville and at
tended the Greenville schools, grad
uating from the Greenville high
school in June, 1890. He attended the
Detroit Business University from
which he graduated and then joined

small, only nine men paying their fee
into the city to date, although the
time for filing closes Saturday even

in the First ward, where Councilman
John Myles is up for reelection. Myles
is meeting with a great deal of oppo-
ston, there being five other men af-
ter his position. Two councilmen will
be elected from this ward this time,
and the battle will be an interesting
one. AT meeting held several nights
ago, free for all fight was narrowly
averted, when a voter attempted to
defend members of the present coun-
ell.
In the Sixth ward another fight may
result. but as yet, only one man, H. B.
Elder, present incumbent, has filed his
intentions. 1t is said that George
Stalding is candidate for re cleo
ton. but he has not filed yet H. ].
Hits, deposed member, stated yester-
day that he was not candidate, but
that when the men We're out for cleo
ton, he would take an active part in
the campaign.
In the Second ward, only two men
have filed their declarations and the
fight in this section will not amount
to much, unless more candidates come
forward.
The registration has been light, the
Socialists seemingly holding the bal
ance of power The candidates who
have filed are: First: Jacob Rankinen,

Editorial Comment
Slang in Kansas.

tNeW York PoSt.D
If the Department of English of the
University of Kansas has really begun
campaign against slang, it deserves
the thanks of everybody who has ears
to hear. That there is something to
be said for slang cannot be denied.
Those who devise it and those who
use it are not always actuated by a
desire to degrade speech. At bottom
there is the search of newly minted
coins which in Shakespeare the
world appIauds Some of the meth
ods employed are common to slang
writer and literary artist, as the seiz-
ing upon metaphorical expressions
and the drafting of noun to do SER
vice as Il verb But the practice is
So oVerdone in quantity and so I'M
derdone in quality thta the principle
has been buried under a mass of
nondescript verbal concoctions. Such
fevered movement must die a
natural death in the end but mean
time the not over sensitive twentieth
| century ear is being so violently
abused as TO make it questionable
whether it will long have any power
of discrimination left. The virtue OF
the campaign said to have been I'M
dertaken by the University of Kansas
lies in its endeavor to strengthen the
sense of word values in persons who
are not too old for reform.
