and are expected soon. They will be
sold at a nominal figure to any who
wish to decorate vehicles for the pa
rade
1t is intended to make the flower
parade one Of the greatest events
of the Midwinter fair, and to attain
this end the fair management is ex-
erting itself. There will be sufficient
flowers to decorate several humid
red vehicles, if necessary. and there
will doubtless be friendly rivalry
among those who will enter the pa
rade 10 select the most beautiful
flowers TO decorate their vehicles.
In the parade there will be all
kinds OF vehicles from automobiles
10 donkey carts. and it is expected ev-
en- that some original geniuses will

Associated Press.
London, Nov 171.-Negotiations

Tchatalka lines.
Nazim Pasha the Turkish comman-
der in chief, claims to have repulsed
the attack and destroyed three Bull
garian batteries.
No news of the battle are received

1t appeared to be a Bulgarian pre-
paration for an infantry attack. The
Turkish fleet participated vigorous
ly in the defense.
According to the latest reports the
battle ceased at nightfall.
The resumption of hostilities are
not regarded as indicating the col
lapse of peace negotiations but ra
ther as a means to hasten Turkeys
acceptance Of the allies terms by pro
wing her complete helplessness.
The Bulgarian government organ
Mir" intimates that the allies art
prepared to consider the question 0
an alliance with Turkey which would
give Turkey the opportunity of wela
ing her territories into a moderr
state and making friends of her con
querors.
The Balkan states clearly have il
mind the formation of an alliance
that will be able to defy Europeal
interference in the disposition of th'
spoils Of war.
Cholera continues to spread. 1t

cases daily with a mortality of fifty
per cent, while the Turkish authori
ties are impotent to take measure
to prevent it's further spread

resolution expressing grave concern
at the prospect OF either the Turkisl
or Bulgarian army coming into tn

ADDITION TO WESrPoRr
Engineer Plating Lighthouse Addi-
ton to Westport Finds Graves
Of Pioneers Made in 1868

Engineer E. G. Hunt is engaged in
plating forty acres of land at West
port for d. w. Fleet, of Montesano,
into the Lighthouse Addition, and
while setting stakes last week came
across the graves of Mrs. Harring-
ton and two children, who were
buried there in 1868. The cedar head
board with it's painted inscription
were found to be in a perfect state
of preservation, leading Mr. Hunt to
believe that the mild climate and
salt air has acted as a preservative
much in the manner of creosote.
Where Westport now stands was
formerly the townsite of Chehalis,
the first to be plated in Chehalis
county. During the civil war and for
number of years afterwards, mill
tary post was maintained on the
Point. and it is likely that the graves
are these Of persons connected with

LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE
W.. A. Fuller, Pioneer Of chehaIis
County, Asks Support on His
Record as a Citizen

w. A. Fuller, candidate for the
republican nomination for representa-
tive from the 29th district, visited
Grays Harbor last week in the inter-
est Of his candidacy, and to greet
old friends. Mr.. Fuller will be re-
membered as the Satsop farmer who.
it was generally believed, won the
nomination in 1910 for county COM
missioner for the first district and
was counted out.
Mr.. Fuller came to Chehalis county
in 1883, a young man whose capital
consisted OF capacity and willing
ness to work; a good common school
education. and the intelligence to ap-
ply it practically, and took up a home
stead on the Chehalis river, near the
mouth of the Satsop river with the
determination to make a farm in the
then wilderness. That he succeeded
is shown today by as fine a farm as
can be found in the Chehais valley
with modern home, large barns and
other buildings, the home being filled
by happy wife and seven bright
children. the eldest being now in her
last year in the state university
Mr.. Fuller did not find this farm,
nor did anybody give it to him. He
earned it by the hardest kind Of
work and the practice Of selt-denial.
He worked in the Logging camps,
RATED logs on the river and. when
he could taught school in the Win
tiers. In fact, he is the type of man
this new country needed when he ar
rived. and needs today, for its real
development. There are no frills
