EXTENSION OF
JETTY PLANNED
Hoquiam to Help Aberdeen
Push the Important
Project

That the Hoquiam Commercial
Club and the. Aberdeen Chamber of
Commerce will work jointly to push
the extension of the jetty was made
known at meeting of the HoQuiam
commercial organization yesterday
wh:n plans for continuing the work
was made known. A committee will
be appointed here to work in con-
jun ction with p. J. Mourant, Alex
Poison and Frank B. Lamb of Ho-
GUAM.
The plan is to have the govern
ment extend the jetty more than a
mile beyond it's present terminus, and
to place such plans before the Unit
ed States engineers at as early a
date as possible.
The outer end of the jetty does
not reach beyond the bar more than
5000 feet and shipping men state that
it should be extended 5000 feet fur
ther. In order not to delay the work
the matter must be brought before
the engineers and then submitted to
congress for approval. If this is not
done. the jetty will be completed next
summer and will then pass into the
class of completed projects. 1t is es-
timated that at least 100000 would
have to be appropriated to carry out
the plan.

OIL IS USED AS
FUEL IN SCHOOL
The New Plant Installed in
Weatherwax Building
Is. Success

Completely discarding coal as a fuel
for heating purposes, crude oil is now
being used altogether in the Weather
wax high school. Yesterday for the
first time, at least so far, has proved
first time, and the test. at least so far
has proved highly satisfactory.
Owing to the many complaints from
residents living in the vicinity of the
high school who were continually an
noyed by the smoke from the school
furnaces, the board of education took
the matter in hand several months
ago. After a careful investigation, it
was found that by using oil instead
of coal the school would not only do
away with the smoke question but
provide saving of at least 25 per
cent on the fuel bill 1t was found
that the high school in Tacoma has
been using oil as fuel for the past two
years. and that the result was highly
satisfactory. In Portland, Seattle and
other cities the large Office buildings
also used OIL
The plant installed and complete
costs less than $1,000. Several weeks
ago the large oil tank arrived and
within two weeks the work of con.
Meeting pipes and installing the plant
was completed.

CHIEF 7EMPLE1NANLS THOROUGH Y EXONERA TED
MAYNARD GIRL
RETURNED HOME
Ottie Rambo Runs Away and
Is Found by Olympia
Officers

OLYMPIA, Nov. 13.-After leav-
ing her home early last week with
out the consent of her parents, Ottie
Rambo, a 15-year-old Mntesano girl,
was found at Tenino and yesterday
was taken to her home in Montesano
by sheriff Ed. Payette.
Sheriff CASTOR received his infor-
nation concerning the girl from
Sheriff Ed. Payette of Montesano,
when the latter telephoned him tell
ing him to be on the lookout for
her and requesting his aid in finding
her. Sheriff Payette stated that the
last trace of the girl was in Tenino
and Sheriff CASTOR Immediately tele-
phoned to Deputy Sheriff Hays of that
place giving him her description and
telling him to make thorough search
of the town for her. This was done
and Sheriff CASTOR was rewarded for
his pains when Deputy Sheriff Tom
Bruley, of Tenino, arrived in Olympia
about 1880 in the evening bringing
the girl with him. Sheriff Ed Pay
cite, of Montesano, has been noti-
fled and will arrive in Olympia to-
morrow to take her back to Monte
sanO.

OF
BONDS DELAYED
Tide Fill Contracts Held Up
by Council = Must Be
More Specific

Aside from discussing matters per-
tanning to the poplice department. but
little actual work was taken up last
night at the council meeting.
Before the affidavit associating the
police chief with certain charges. was
brought up, the matter of investigat-
ing the cause for the dismissal of Joe
Searles from the police force was
taken up. The council approved the
action of Chief l.. d. Templeman
adopting the recommendation offered
that his discharge was for the good
of the service.
Fill Question Delayed
The matter of accepting the bonds
of the Spokane Construction company
for the filing of tide fill district No.
2 was delayed one week. This action
was the result of Morck's request that
inasmuch as the council has experience
ed considerable trouble with the first
FILL that the Spokane company be re-
quested to make more definite the ma
ture of the material to be used in the
second fill. The matter was referred
to City Engineer Chas. Ewart.
Ask for Accounting
Councilman Millette and Wieland
presented resolution from the Social
ist party asking that an ordinance be
provided for the publication each
month of statement from each de-
partment in the city. This matter
was brought before the council on
several occasions, and it was at last
decided to refer the resolutions to the
finance committee. The committee will
probably report at the next meeting
of the council.
The petition of property owners on
Washington street asked for the con-
struction of 16-foot plank road from
First to Division street. The matter
was referred to the city attorney.
Property owners on Market street
asked that the city instead of build
ing the proposed plank road, pave the
street with asphalt. This was referred
to the street committee.
Resolution to pave East Wishkah
street from Fairfield to Kansas street
was passed November d, has been
fixed as the date for the filing of pro-
tests.

SATSOP RIVER
CLAIMS VICTIM
Ernest Kesterson browns in
Stream While Working
in the Woods

While working in the employ of the
Schafer Bros. Logging company, five
miles from Satsop. Ernest H. Kester-
son, we'll known in Aberdeen, was ac-
cidently drowned Tuesday morning.
While the tragedy occurred several
days ago, details of the accident are
still missing and from reports re-
ceived here this morning, the body has
not been recovered from the river
The search, however, is being vigor.
ously continued.
1t is the general belief that Kester-
son was working on the bank of the
river, when he slipped and fell in.
The rived is swollen because of the
recent heavy rains, and the current
is swift.
Ernest Kesterson was a brother of
Mrs. Mark Ennis of this city, and has
been in the employ of Schafer Bros.
for some time. His parents recently
removed from Tacoma to Elma. He
was but Is years of age and was popu-
lar throughout the county.

ABERDEEN MILLS
GET BIG ORDERS
Harbor Secures Greater Por-
ton Of Big Eastern
Orders

The larger portion of approximate
Iy 100,000.000 feet of lumber purchas-
ed by three large companies in the
East has been sold by Grays Harbor
mills during the past 10 days.
The deal which involves the pur-
chase of this gigantic supply is con-
sidered the largest consumated in
several years and means that the
numbering industry on Grays Harbor
will undoubtedly be boosted to the
last notch The shipments will be
delivered in large lots during the win
ter months.
The buyers are the Canadian Car
& Foundry company of Toronto, 90
900, 900 feet; the American Car &
Foundry company, st. Louis 100000
900 feet, and the Pullman Car CON-
pany of Pullman. ILL.,, 40.000,0O0 feet.
For the past four years, with sur
plus of cars which were growing
more numerous in view Of depressed
business conditions, all the railroads
had allowed their rolling stock to run
down. The shortage in the same
month of this year was $1,000 cars.

WATER SUPPLY
is CLUBS TOPIC
Chamber of Commerce Dis
cusses Important Ques-
ton at Luncheon
PRIVATE CAPITAL PLAN
N. B. Coffman Stirs Club With
Address Pay Tribute
to John L. Wilson

With attendance larger than at any
time since the resumption of the po-
pular weekly luncheon. the Aberdeen
Chamber of Commerce meeting Tues
day noon at the Washington Hotel
was decided success. Chief mat
ters taken under discussion We're:
The consideration of increasing the
water supply of Aberdeen. passage of
resolutions of respect to the memory
of the late Senator John l.. Wilson
and resolutions asking the Northern
Pacific road to take under considera-
ton the matter of extending its line
from Grays Harbor to Willapa Har-
Dor.
By far the most important question
discussed was the subject concerning
Aberdeens future water supply The
matter was brought about through a
suggestion from President Miller who
said he believed that the Chamber
should endorse the action of the coun-
Gil in authorizing survey of the pro-
posed water route to the Wynooche
canyon.
With the exception of Councilman
Morck. members of the Chamber who
suggestion of J. B. Bridges and w.
B. Mack to permit private corpora
tion to build the line. The plan as
proposed by these gentlemen provid-
ed the building of the line by a pri-
vate concern with the agreement that
the city could purchase it at any
time. Mr.. Bridges emphasized the
necessity of immediate action in this
direction and said that the matter was
one of great importance to. the citi-
zens of Aberdeen.
Mr. Mack spoke to some length re-
garding the water question. He did
not, however favor the expenditure of
from $1,000 to $4,000 for the survey
at this time, as he said the city was
not at present in financial condi-
tion to stand the expense. Mr.. Mack,
however. agreed that the water ques-
ton was one of vast Importance. He
said that the water eXtention plant
would cost between $1,000,000 and
$2,000,000.
CounciImen Object.
To the proposition of private capi-
tdl, COuncllmen MOrck ana MCCaW
objected. Both city officials went on
record as favoring the construction of
the line by the city. Figures recent
ly compiled, said Morck, showed that
the plant would not cost more than
$1250,000 and that he thought the
city could easily float sufficient bonds
to complete the work. He also said
that in the meantime a water supply
could be secured from the Neushkah
river by putting main across the
Chehals river
The discussion was concluded when
President Miller said that he would
appoint a committee later.
Coffman Makes Plea.
A plea in behalf of good roads
throughout the state and particular
ly in Southwestern Washington was
made by N. B. Coffman, of Chehalis,
president of the Southwest Washing
ton Development association. Mr..
Coffman urged that as many members
of the Aberdeen association as possi-
Bile attend the next convention of
the association which will be held
in Montesano November % and 23.
and fight for the cause until the mat
ter is placed squarely before the leg
islature.

FIERCE STORM
SWEEPS HARB0R
Considerable Damage Done
by Heavy Gale = Traffic
Is Delayed

Yesterday for the first time in near.
ly two weeks the good old Sol, peek
ed through the heavy bank of clouds
and smiled on rain drenched coun-
try, concluding conclusively that there
is a silver lining at least to some
clouds over hanging the Grays Har.
Dor country.
Sunshine and contentment came as
unexpected as did the fierce storm
which swept Western Washington
Tuesday Beginning early in the
morning a southeast wind arose and
was accompanied by light rain, as
the day advanced the wind and rain
increased until shortly after ) o'clock
the wind gained velocity of at least
80 miles an hour. Awnings were
torn, a number of windows broken
in the hill district. large portions of
the big fills were washed away.
While the gale was at it's height,
several. small fires started but the
prompt action on the part of the fire
department saved loss.
Lying in the rough sea outside the
bar several vessels waited for the
storm to subdue, and all vessels in
side the bar made no attempt to
leave. Tug boat owners refused pos
itively to risk their boats in the low
er bay. The schooner Resolute,
which had been out awaiting to come
into port, finally sailed in under full
sail, just in time to escape the ter
rife gale.
1t is not expected that the dam
age caused by the storm will prove
heavy. The greatest loss. it is en-
pected. will be suffered by the rail
road companies, are reports reached
here yesterday that large number
of washouts had occurred during the
storm.

WASP SAFE, IS
LATEST REPORT
Runner That Steam Cchoon.
er Is Wrecked Seems
Greatly Exaggerated

Reports freely circulated about the
city yesterday to the effect that the
steamer Wasp, frequent visitor TO
Grays Harbor and well known on the
coastise runs. was lost in the heavy
gale at sea last night, seems to be
without foundation.
Word was received here today from
San Francisco to the effect that but
little credence is given the report
in marine circles of that city. The
Wasp left San Francisco at 1880
o'clock Tuesday night bound for
Puget Sound The Wasp is not equip
ped with wireless.

expectation that the day would break
all records for the number of alarms.
These benefits should be made gem
eral, and they will be if the lnu-
inequalities will enact and enforce the
necessary ordinances and the public
sentiment of the community will stand

sons to be ohscured by an orgie of
fire and noise. Conservation is now
the watchword. and a proper celebra-

prevent the destruction of millions OF

national committee is not depriving
Roosevelt of any votes to which he is
entitled is evident from its decision

committee is trying to do the fair
thing; the circumstances surrounding

EoR a SANE FOURTH.

Independence Day in 1912 should
have a new meaning. 1t should stand
for liberation from the old idea that
the only way 10 celebrate the birthday
Of the country was by a saturnalia Of
noise, destruction and death So
many better. more enjoyable and more
fitting observances of the day have
been devised and proved out, that
there Is now no excuse for allowing
the Anniversary to degenerate into a
mere matter of noise. The Sane
Fourth idea is no longer a fad 1t is
an established fact in such centers as
New York and Chicago. and if these
large cities can control and prohibit
the nuisances Of dangerous explosives
( there is little wonder that thousands
jof smaller cities and towns have also
barred the oldtime riot of death and
destruction.

The Cedar Rapids Republican has
a special dispatch from Chicago to
the following effect.
AN unpreiudiced view of the situa-
ton warrants the assertion that at
this time the chances are decidedly
in favor of the denomination of Taft
II is felt in quiet circles that the de-
cisions of the national committee in
the contest cases have been fully
warranted by the facts in evidence.
The charge of robbery made so
blusteringly is without basis of truth
and has been made largely for effect. "
The same dispatch states that it is
practically settled that the ten Cum
minis delegates will not in any in
stance vote with the Taft men. In
der these circumstances it is hardly
to be expected that the Iowa dele
gates for Taft will at any time aid
the Cummins candidacy. Here is an
instance in which little reciprocrt.
might be good thing. The same
authority confirms other reports to
the effect that the Roosevelt recep-
tion was disappointing.
