 There appears to have gone out an impression that naturalizations can be had before United States Judges only, and that the elimina- tion of the district judges of the territory with powers of federal judges has taken naturalization proceedings out from local courts. The statement has been circulation that all naturalization business vii have to go to the United States court at Phoenix. Such is not the case. Under the naturalization laws of the United States all courts with the jurisdiction given by the constitution of Arizona to the superior courts in the various coun. ties. So naturalization cases can be heard before Judge Duffy. There are already ripe two such cases and they can be heard at any time. The applicants for citizen ship are Juan Varona and Martin Romero.

returned from Olympia last Saturday
morning, where more than $50 loyal
boosters of Cehhalis county had sacri-
feed business for day, to represent
their cities at the quarterly meeting of
the Southwest Washington Develop
ment association.
The crowd was royalty entertained
at the capital city and the demonstra.

tunity to know what was doing in the
Grays Harbor country, the home Of
real boosting.
The train arrived at II o'clock and
with P. s. Combs as leader, and N. P.
Bryan, as yell leader, started their
march through the streets of Olympia.
Governor M. E. Hay was the first one
visited, then State Treasurer John G..
Lewis, and from his Office, the march
ing singing. whooping, boosters made
their rounds.
The meeting of the association was
quite interesting. but nothing was
done that required the attendance Of
the delegation.
One Of the important things. which
resulted from the trip, was the pledg-
ing of fund to erect monument to
John Miller Murphy, aged newspaper
man. who is about to answer the call
of thirty"

sang "Aud Lang Syne." A resolution
pledgng to see monument erected to
the memory of the aged man, was
passed.

to abolish the Office of secretary. and

another three months.

MAY INSTALL
PHONE CABLE
Government Officials Ask
That Chamber of Com
merce Gets Busy

The chamber of Commerce is in
receipt OF the following letter from
Charles e. Martin, regarding the con
structiOn OF the telephone line be
tween Aberdeen and Westport, and
the installation of submarine cables.
The letter follows:
81 have been requested by the Gov
ernment to furnish an estimate Of
cost for two submarine cables, and
the construction of Government
telephone line between Grays Har-
Dor Life Saving Station at Westport,
Wash. and the new whaling station
at Grays Harbor.
81 understood during my last visit
at Grays Harbor, that if the Govern
ment would build a Government tele-
phone line between points above
mentioned, and put in submarine
cable, the whaling station and the
Tel. & Tel Co., would construct a
good telephone line from the whaling
station to Aberdeen, Wash; on my
return to my Office l recommended
to our Department that this line be
built by the Government, between
Grays Harbor Life Saving Station
and whaling station, in order for the
Willapa Bay Life Saving Station and
Grays. Harbor Life Saving Station to
get assistance and report vessels in
that vicinity.
81 took the matter up with Mr.. F..
l.. McNally, Dist. Commercial Supt.
of the Pacific Tel. & Tel. Co, of Sc
attic. Wash He informed me that
he could not give any definite infor-
nation at this time, as to when his
company will build said telephone
line. When ! send in my estimate,
will have to send in letter of Dist.
Supt. Tel. & Tel. Co., and if the Gov
ernment is not assured that this piece
of line will be built by Telephone Co..
or some other party building tele-
phone line to connect with Govern
ment telephone line, the Government
is very apt to drop the matter entire
ly, and this we do not want to oc-
cur. as your Honorable Body knows
this connection has been badly need
ed for years."

GREATEST RAIN
OF THE SEASON
Flats in the City Are Sub
merged With Surface
Water

More rain fell Saturday night and
Sunday morning on Grays Harbor
than any previous IL hours during
the year The rainfall was steady
and heavy and all through the night
it continued The flats in both Ho-
quiam and Aberdeen We're inundated
to a depth of from 6 inches to two
feet. So deep was the water in the
west end of Aberdeen and East Ho.
quiam. that a person could have made
the trip in row boat.
All day long Broadway street, near
Heron. was nearly submerged, the
water being over the sidewalks to
depth of several inches, and with
in an inch of the door step of the
Broadway Pharmacy. 1t was neces-
sary to place heavy planking to get
in and out of this place of business
This is said to have been due as
much to the fill, as the rainfall, as a
certain amount of the water pumped
into the land finds its way through
First street back to Broadway.
The same thing was experienced
near the Hotel Washington, the wa
ter backing up to depth of nearly
foot.
Little damage was done in this Sec
ton. but it Is reported that the Sat
sop, Wynoochie and Chehalis rivers
are out of their banks and are raging
torrents. While the high water ex-
perienced this year has not been bad,
yet farmers are beginning to fear
that the next few days will compel
them to move their cattle to the high
er ground, until the water recedes.

MAY NOT TEAR UP STREET

Although the city council last week
voted to have Street Superintendent
c. E. Arthur to tear up
the planking on X street to permit
the fill being made, this may not be
done at this time. After a meeting
with the committee. it was pointed
out that the street is nearly filed
and the tearing out Of the plank
street at this time, and replacing af
Ter the fill, would be a needless eX-
pendittlre of money. lnasmuch as the
street is near filled. the necessary
amount of sand needed to make the
remainder Of the fill, when the street
is removed. could easily be pumped
on Hume street and hauled TO X
street later
