The proprietors of these places
have heretofore had indictments re-
turned against them for a violation

the city authorities great deal of
trouble. The brazenness with which
they have operated and the difficulty
of obtaining conviction against

TO EXPERIMENT
in LOGGED LAND
Cattle Shipped From Oregon
to Be Placed on Up
River Ranches

To experiment in cattle raising on
an enlarged scale in logged-off land
districts of Chehalis county is the
plan which is to be carried out by ex.
perimenting on blooded stock by a
number of Polish ranchers up the
Wishkah river.
Yesterday a carload of cattle reach.
ed the city from Corvallis, Oregon,
and was consigned to A. Mallinowski,
one of the best known ranchers In that
district. The cattle were driven ur
the river today and were at once
placed on the logged-off lands.
"Should the experiment prove a
success. the ranchers will undoubtedly
go in for cattle raising" said local
meat merchant today. 81 have been
told that other shipments will arrive
in a short time. There are certain
tracts of land in that vicinity admir-
ably adopted for such purposes where
the grass Is good for grazing. Should
the plan prove as expected, there
should be good money in 1t for the
ranchers as they will always find q
ready market for their product In
Aberdeen.

Mr.. Untermyer obtained from Mr.
Frew description Of the method by
which money is attracted to New
York when small country merchants
and farmers demand funds for the
movement Of crops or the accommo'
dation of their business affairs. Mr.
Frew said the money is needed on the
New York Stock exchange for specu.
lative purposes; that the country
banks keep large sums on deposit in
New York; that thus the home" de-
mand for money becomes strong, the
New York price for money raises. and
the New York banks, in order to gain
the big interest charges, put their
money out on call loans on the New
York Stock Exchange. All these
loans are based on stock exchange col
lateral, said Mr.. Frew.

OF SOIL
SURVEY READY
Department Of Agriculture
Prints Report Of Recon
noissance
WAS MADE BY EXPERTS
Covers Western Part Of Puget
Sound Basin - Part Of
Chehalis County

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. a.
The report of the Reconnaissance
Soil Survey of the Western part of the
Puget Sound Basin, Washington, re-
Gently made by experts from the Blu.
reau Of Soils in cooperation with the
State of Washington, has been issued
by the Department of Agriculture.
The area surveyed includes all of
San Juan, Island, Kitsap and Thurs
ton. and parts of Chehalis, Jefferson,
Clallam, Mason and Pierce counties
and comprises a total of 4,2S8 square
miles.
The report contains 116 printed
pages containing typical illustrations
Of agricultural scenes in the several
counties and has two maps Of the
area; a general soil map showing the
character Of the soil embraced by the
survey, and land classification map
showing the areas Of logged-off tim
bered and cultivated lands. A large
portion of the area consists of roll
ing uplands and broad alluvial river
valleys. Every part Of the area is
within easy reach of one of the larg-
er local markets. laundering is still
the principal industry in the large
portion Of the territory.
Agricultural has progressed rapidly
in the alluvial valleys, but in the up
lands, the cost of clearing the logged
off lands has somewhat retarded devel-
opment, states the report. Dairy farm
ing is one of the most profitable in
dustries of the area, and in certain
sections fruit growing is rapidly as
suming large proportions. In the
southern portion, along the alluvial
valleys, oats and other small grains
are extensively grown.
The cultivated areas in the glacial
uplands are utilized mainly for such
crops as will yield large returns from
the intensive cultivation Of the small
areas, continues the report. Irish po-
tatoes, Strawberries, and other small
fruits, when properly cultivated, do
we'll on these soils. The small or
chards of apples, pears, plums, prunes
and smaller fruits produce large
yields. Only a limited acreage of the
uplands occupied by the residual
soils is under cultivation. but the soils
are productive and when properly
cultivated produce large yields Of all
crops grown. Oat-hay and potatoes
are the suitable products Of the area.
