Extra Session viii BE Difficult
Says Hay

That the resolution passed by the
Washington Progress and Prosperity
| Committee at North Yakima, asking
special session or the legislature
for the sole purpose of submitting
to the people the $15,000,O00 road
bond issue will be without effect is
the opinion of Governor M. r, Hay.
To secure an extra session it will
be necessary to get pledges from
two-thirds of the members of the leg
islature that no other legislation will
be taken up" said the governor at
! North Yakima. THE decision is one
that can not make yet as ii has not
come to me in an official way so that
| can not say that no session will be
called The information that has
come to me is the members of the
legislature will not sign an agree
ment to pass this one bill and not
take up other legislation"
Doubt as to the possibility of secur-
ing pledges of enough of the legislat-
ors to make the session probable
without extra legislation being intro
duced was also expressed by Howard
d. Taylor of King county, speaker of
the house of representatives,.
Personally will say that I would
sign such a pledge myself" said Mr..
Taylor, but it was found impossible
to get such a promise from enough
of the members when a law on the
preferential primary was wanted, and
doubt if it could be obtained now"
According to the resolutions passed
the representatives of the 1916 COM
mercial clubs of the state will return
to their homes and make efforts to
get the required pledges from the
| members of the legislature in their
district, so that the success or failure
of the movement for a state road
bond issue of SIS, 100000, which the
Progress and Prosperity committee
took up as its immediate object, now

The resolution reads as follows:
" Resolved, in order to obtain the
| Judgment of the people of the state
on this important question, that the
members of the Progress and Pros
perity committee be requested inn
mediately upon their return to their
respective districts, through their To-
cal commercial bodies and otherwise,
to make a careful canvass of the SEN
timent, and in the event it develops
that a majority of the people favor
the course recommended in the reso-
luton set forth, to secure pledges
from their representatives in the leg

Great Britain, urged on by Mr..
Churchill, has recently made propo-
sition to Germany which, if acted
upon, will result in an abatement in
the rivalry for naval supremacy be-
tween these two powers. Although
there is much unfayorable comment
on the offer. it is generally conceded
that this contest has been heavy
burden on the people of both eoun-
tries. Furtherm ore, such a move
ment would undoubtedly meet with
the approval of the other world
powers. 1t is significant to note,
however. that Mr.. Churchill frankly
informed Germany that England
would always keep 60 per cent ahead
of her in naval power, no matter
how great the cost.

A German AIlegory

On a recent trip to Germany, Dr..
Harvey Wiley the government pure
food expert, heard an allegory with
reference to the subject of food adul-
iteration which, he contends, should
cause Americans to congratulate
themselves that things are so well
ordered in this respect in the United
States.
The German allegory was substan-
TALLY as follows:
Four flies which had made their
way into certain pantry, deter
mined to have a feast.
One flew to the sugar and ate
heartily, but soon died, for the sugar
was full of white lead,
The second chose the flour as his
diet, but he Jared no better, for the
flour was loaded with plaster of
Paris
The third sampled the syrup, but
his six legs were presently raised in
the air, for the syrup was colored
with analine dyes.
The fourth fly, seeing all his
friends dead, determ ined to end his
life also, and drank deeply of the fly
poison which he found in a convent
ent saucer.
He is still alive and in good health.
That, too, was aduIterated.- Lippin-
colts.

On Thursday of last week 81 Ital-

the Dardanelles. After about two
and a half hours of firing, during
which. one of the Italian ships was
sunk and another badly damaged,
the fleet retired. 1t is reported that
one Turkish soldier was killed. He

TAHITI FEELS
BADLY USED

Much dissatisfaction is felt in Ia
hit over the withdrawal of the S. s.
Mariposa from the San Francisco-Pa-
peete run, according to a report to
the Department of Commerce and
Labor recently made by Consul North
Winship. The report in part follows:
"The Mariposa of the Oceanic
Steamship Co., San Francisco, which
since July, 1902, has been making re-
gnlar trips from San Francisco to
this port and return, made its last
trip to Tahiti in January, 1912.
"on August 20, 1910, the contract
with the French Colonial Government
was renewed for. three years, much
to the satisfaction of every one in
Tahiti. However, in December, 1911,
the Oceanic Steamship Co. asked the
governor of French Oceania to relieve
them from the contract. This was
refused by the governor after con-
sulting with the chamber of commerce,
whereupon the Oceanic Steamship Co.
took the Mariposa off the run and
sold the vessel. Although no conclu-
sion has been reached, it is thought
that the Oceanic Steamship Co. will
pay about $4,000 to the colonial gov
eminent as settlement.
This left Tahiti entirely depend
ent upon the Union Steamship Co.'S
line, making a 28-day schedule be-
tween Tahiti and Wellington, and Ia
hiti and San Francisco; and another
line of the same company making 2S-
day trips between Auckland and Ia
hiti.
THE vessels running to America re-
main in this port only "a hours, and
there is a lapse Of three weeks be-
tween the arrival of the mail and
freight from the United States before
there is a northbound vessel by which
to answer letters OF. place new orders.
Since the United States enjoys half
OF the foreign trade with this colony,
and as all the mail from and to
France is sent via the United States,
the present schedule is most unsatis
factory both for the French Govern
ment and the merchants. On the 9th
er hand, it is convenient for promot-
ing the interests of New Zealand and
Australia, there being only 10 days
between the arrival OF the vessels
from Sydney and Wellington and the

land, bringing and returning with
mail and freight, this vessel also
calling at Raiatea and other smaller
islands of this colony.
Under these circumstances It is
evident that New Zealand will secure
. large quantity of the orders and
products that should 20 to America.
In view OF this fact q. A. Moore &
Co., OF San Francisco, who for years
have been sending the s. N. Castle,
sailing vessel of 514 tons to Ia
hiti, intend placing another sailing
vessel on the run, but since the trip
one way usually takes about 40 days,
the service will not begin to take the
place of the Mariposa.
For the present year at least the
Union Steamship Co. states that no
improvement can be made in the sche-

possible that If any American com.
panies wish to bid for the future mail
contract of this colony, Monster A.
Bonheure, governor of the French
possessions in Oceania, Papeete, Ia
hitl, Society Islands, will be interest
ed in hearing from them in the near
future.
THE subsidy paid the Oceanic
Steamship Co. was $3O,291 a year, the
contract calling fo~ a vessel Ct at
least 5000 tons, with a minimum
speed of 10 knots, and which would
make 10 round trips each year. The
Mariposa, therefore, made the voyage
one way in - days remaining s days
in San Francisco and 4 days in Pa
