CITIZENS BALK
ON FILL JOB
Make Protest to Council and
Ask for Investigation
Soon
ARE PROMISED RELIEF
To Call Meeting Friday Morn
ing---Council Session
Is Busy
ARE PROMISED RELIEF

Protesting to the condition of the
tideflat fill especially in the district
south of Market street and west of
M. street a dozen or more citizens,
property owners in that part Of the
city appeared before the city council
last night.
There was nothing radical in the
demands of the property owners, as
they only asked that square deal'
be given them. The complaint was
general, and of the same nature and
to the effect that in that particular
section of the city at least, the fill
was of mere silt and that in all prob
abilities would remain in it's present
condition for years TO come.
In response to the complaints
Morck, Egerer, McCaw, Millette, Miles
Pearsall, Frazier and Sauers spoke to
some length. Morck told them that
they were perfectly justified in their
complaint and complimented them on
their patience which he believed must
have been sorely tried for some time.
1t was decided to call special meet
ing Friday morning at the city hall
at which time the matter will be gone
over thoroughly. The district OBJ
jected to will be visited and definite
action in the matter taken at the
next meeting of the council.
In case the fill is not according to
contract, and the company does not
make it right, the bonds of 100000 to-
gether with about $4,000 interest will
be withheld.
Report of the city engineer was
read giving the estimate of the work
done by the Tacoma Dredging COM
pany in Filling District No. as $780,
1885, less 10 per cent, $30.013 35,
less amount paid $165, 1880, leaving
amount due as $4.400.00 Moved by
Pearsall and seconded by Newell the
city treasurer be instructed to pas
the amount due.

DEMOCRATS ARE
OPTIMISTIC
Hugh c. Todd, State Chair.
man, Predicts Democratic
Victory in the State

SEATTLE, Oct. 1O-"Democracy
should be full alive to the fact that
it can elect it's entire state ticket, its
congressional candidates and carry
the state of Washington for Woodrow
Wilson this year.
while | believe that the election
of Wilson as president is fully assured
it should be the ambition of every
democrat and every admirer of the
man-and there are thousands of
them who heretofore have not been
affiliated with our party-to place the
State of Washington in the Wilson
column.
-Four years ago the republican vote
was 100000 while the democratic vote
was $4,000. The republican party has
been divided by the formation of the
progressive party and according to the
best judgment of unprejudiced obser.
vers the progressive party will cast
as large vote as the republican party
this year.
''lf the division is fairly even, and
it will be, the democratic vote of four
years ago will be sufficient to. elect
every state and congressional candi-
date. With Woodrow Wilson's popu-
larity this vote will be increased
greatly The belief that the demo
Gratis can win will bring out many
democrats who in other elections did
not go to the polls, because they be-
lieved there was no chance of victory.
"The total vote will, of course. be
larger because of the fact that woman
suffrage has been granted and this
will, am convinced, prove further to
the advantage of the democrats. 1t is
women of our state will vote for Will
son.
"In the nation, prospects based on
figures are even more hopeful. The
republican party in the past has been
electing it's president with seven mil
lion votes. while the democratic can
didates received six million. With
Taft and Roosevelt dividing up the
republican vote, one does not have to
appeal to his imagination to predict
that Wilson will carry more states
than any president has ever carried
in the history of the country.
"The Democratic State Committee
and the candidates are putting forth
every effort to make a whirlwind cam
paign. Our ticket presents candidates
second to none in character, honesty
and ability. They may not be as well
known as the republican state candi
dates, who by reason of having been
in office have gained more publicity
but this may work out as a handicap
rather than an advantage for some OF
our opponents

Project

That the Peterson Construction
company, formerly known as the Alb.
erdeen Construction company cf this

"The project is one of the largest
ever undertaken in the state" said
Mr.. Gylling when completed it will
cost approximately $5,O00,0OO and the
bitches will feed wa,er to more than
10000 acres. The project is being
financed by the county and will be
known as the high line ditch"
Mr.. Gylling, who is we'll known in
Aberdeen, is also in charge of the
big electrical road contract through
the CleElum and Ros!yn coal field
another project which means the ex.
penditure of thousands of dollars In
case the contract for the irrigation
work is awarded the company, the
first crew will begin work within the
next two weeks. The first big stor.
age tank is now practically completed
at EastOn, near the mouth of the
Northern Pacific tunnel.

Thus ends one of the most import

the Chehalis county courts. Since
the murder of Welch, one of the

success.
Throughout the trial, the battle
was fought evenly, it seemed. Wit
