top story.

John c. Lawrence, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor,
has mapped out whirlwind campaign
for the time remaining until the prim-
ary election. Mr.. Lawrence completed
his preliminary organization in advance
OF the republican state convention and
will now devote practically all of his
time to public speaking.
Il want every voter in the state to
know just where stand on all issues"
says Mr.. Lawrence. This is cam
paign against a political form of state
government and in favor Of business
administration of all state affairs. The
people are entitled to know the atti-
tude of each candidate and his record
Of past performances.
Il am willing to stand on my re-
cord as a member OF the railway and
public service commissions and Gov
ernor Hay must stand on his record as
chief executive OF the state"
In this campaign already have
placed before the people clearly de-
fined issues that will, if carried out,
result in a saving Of not less than a
million dollars year to the taxpayers.
I have pointed out specific instances
Of extravaganza under the present state
administration. The people are enti-
tied to hear the reply Of the governor. "

Much Activity at ". S. 81. Co.'S Plant

E. H. Rothert drove up to Blewett
Wednesday in his car to inspect the
development work being done on the
Washington Steel & Iron Co.'s proper
ties.
He says a large amount OF ore is
being blocked out and everything put
into readiness for the time when they
will commence to haul the ore to this
city.
The steel on the spur trach has been
laid half way to the plant and within
another week it will have been COM
pleted.
Mr.. Rothert states that Just as soon
as the track is laid the heavy machin-
cry will begin to arrive.
The concrete foundations for the
different machines is being put down,
and as fast as the machinery arrives If
will be put into place.
Barring no unforeseen difficulties,
Mr.. Rothert believes he will have the
plant in operation and turning out
steel before the last Of the year.

AUTO ACCIDENT ON
LAKE WENATCHEE ROAD
Breaks are Defective and Car Goes One
Fiundren Feet over Enbankment

Failure of the brakes to work at a
critical moment was the cause Of the
auto accident last Sunday when the big
Thomas Flyer driven by c. F. Ogilvie
plunged over the side of the road on
the switchbank between this city and
Lake Wenatchee and rolled hundred
feet down the hillside. Besides Mr..
Ogilvie, his wife and two boys were in
the car and Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Mot
teller and their son of this city.
The accident occurred while max
ing turn on the long hill and when
the brakes refused to work Mr.. Ogilvie
called out 70 those in the car to jump.
No one in the car succeeded in doing
this at the time except Mrs. Motteler
who suffered a dislocated collar bone
and was badly bruised and cut about
the head. Mr.. Motteler and son
jumped on the way down and were un-
hurt. Mr.. Ogilvie stayed with the car
for time and guided it down the hill
but jumped before the final crash
came. After running down the hill
about hundred feet the car came to a
stop when it struck large log stretched
across the way. Mrs. Ogilvie and two
sons stayed with the car to the last,
one of the boys being hurled over the
front of the car but all escaped injury.
The road over the switchback is
very dangerous in many places and un-
less something is done many more ac-
cidents are likely to occur before the
summer is over.

Decreased Coal Production

The production OF coal in Washing
ton in 1911 was 3,572,815 short tons,
valued $8,174,170, according to the
final returns compiled by Edward w.
Parker, of the United States Geological
Survey, in cooperation with the State
Geological Survey of Washington.
Washington is the only one OF the
Pacific Coast States in which coal min
ing is an industry Of any importance.
But Washington, although more re-
mote. is like Oregon in that it is now
feeling the influence Of the competi-
ton of California fuel oil. Even the
railroads having their own coal mines
are using fuel oil in their locomotives
on the mountain divisions, where a
sparkless fuel gives protection against
forest fires. Some of the Washington
coal mines are within less than so
miles OF Puget Sound, yet most Of the
steamers plying in those waters are US
ing oil for fuel, the saving in labor and
the cleanliness of the liquid fuel Civ
ing it decided advantage over coal,
even when the latter may be cheaper
at first cost. The decreased produc-
ton of coal in Washington seems to be
assignable to no other cause than the
substitution of oil for coal, as trade
conditions generally in 1911 were sat-
isfactory. This decrease was 33o, ,084
tons. or 8.67 per cent, from the pro-
duction OF 1910. The value decreased
81, ,5o0,2o5, or 1929 per cent. The
principal decrease in production was in
Kittitas county, in which the larger
part of the output is taken from mines
controlled by the Northern Pacific
Railway. In fact, the decrease in Kit
titas county was more than that OF the
State as a whole and bears witness to
the influence of the use of oil in the
railroad locomotives.
The number OF men employed in
the coal mines Of Washington in 1911
was 6,4o8, who worked an average Of
225 days, against 6,314, for 256 days,
in 1910. At eight of the mines in the
State washing plants have been in
stalled, and 3o2,50 short tons Of coal
was washed in 1911, some Of the
washed coal being used in the manu-
facture OF coke. The cleaned coal
amounted to 338,707 short tons, and
the refuse 53,7o4 tons.
The returns to the United States Bu-
reau of Mines show that Is men were
killed in the coal mines Of Washington
in 1911, the death rate per 1000 en-
