OLYMPIA NATIONAL BANK

leaders are seeming trouble between
now and the general election. Ger
tain it is that the new party will not
present the solid front which their
chiefs planned SO adroitly a month
ago. Many of them cannot become
reconciled to Hanson's attempt to be-
tray them into voting for a Socialist
candidate for representative, and re-
sent the assumption that their votes
are for delivery to any candidate at
the bahest of their leaders. To add to
this break in their ranks it is now be-
coming apparent that some of the Bull
Moose leaders in certain precincts are
openly supporting candidates that
were ruled out by the big chiefs at the
county seat. From present indica-
lions the Democrats will come in for
more than their share of the votes
that will be changed by this detection
in the ranks of the new party.
A voter who supplied some of the
campaign literature for the local Bull
Moosers in their pre-primary cam
paign writes as follows: Il am a home
sick child and l want to come home.
The Progressive party
splits on the Skokomish." Others have
expressed the same sentiments.

good many callers at the quarters.
Just at this time Of the season there
is not much exhibit material available
ard the Chamber is shipping very
little, but will in the near future bend
all efforts III an endeayOr to secure
large exhibits of potatoes and apples.
Olympia will have displays in the Min

recommendations have been the tall
of the city. The committee urge:
that Olympia follow the footsteps O

By having different classes of member

ASKS ELECTRIC AND
WATER FRANCHISES

washington-OreEon Corporation Seeks
Entrance Into Olympia.
Applications for two franchises, one
permitting him to sell electric light
and power and the other to establish
waterwOrks system in Olympia, were
presented to the city council this week
by Wilbur B. Foshay. manager of the
Portland office of the Northwestern
Electric company, who, it is said, is
acting for the Washington-Oregon cor
poration which is now operating the
water and electric plants in Vancouver,
Chehalis and other Southwest Wash
ington cities.
The franchises were given their
first reading and referred to the fran
chise committee. Both are for so
year period and, if passed and accept
ed, service of both kinds is to begin
within Is months after the ordinance
become effective. Both also provide
for the payment to the city on the first
of each month of l per cent of the
gross moneys collected during the pre-
ceding months. At the end of each
5-year period, the city is given an OPP
portunity to purchase the water
system.
Mr.. Foshay until recently was dis
trict manager of the Westinghouse
gon company, with headquarters at
Centralia. having been given charge of
the Portland Office this week.
While he is said to be acting in his
capacity as an official of the Washing
ton-Oregon corporation insofar as the
electric light and power franchise is
concerned, Mr.. Foshay is reported by
Mayor Bridgford to be acting in his
own behalf regarding the waterworks
franchise. He is said to desire to
make his home in Olympia and to en-
gage in business for himself, believing
that Olympia has an unusually good
future before it.
The terms of the franchise he pre-
sented to the council lead to the belief
that he intends to take over the pres
ent system and to develop it so far as
necessary. 1t is known that several
different interests have been investi
eating the property, with view of
purchasing.

PLANS FOR FAIR

Commerce and the state experimental
station.
The proposition resulting from the
conference was that the county COM
missioners would take an option on
the Carlyon holdings for $31, 900 (since
cut to $30,000) and accept a standing
offer of $4,000 from Mr.. Carlyon for
the present poor farm, the same to be
paid for by the issuing of bonds pay
able in three years or less, and bearing
6 per cent interest.
The county commissioners this week
took an option on the Carlyon track
and the proposition will now go before
the people and between now and the
election November 5, an effort will be
made to have professors from the ex-
detrimental station and Pullman col
lege make addresses in Thurston
county, both of these institutions being
enthusiastic advocates of both the
demonstration farm and county fair
as effective mediums for developing
the country.
