JOHNSON ASKS FOR PUBLIC
BUILDING FOR HOQUiAN
Congressman From Hoquiam Intro.
duces Bill Appropriatine $780,.
600 for the Site and Building

HOQUIAM, April 2S.-Copies of
bill for an appropriation for post.
Office in HoQuiam have been received
by the secretary of the Hoquiam Com.
mercial club from Congressman Al
bert johnson. The bill was introduc-
ed by Congressman Johnson on
Thursday of last week.
The bill provides an appropriation
of $150,000 for purchase of site and
the erection of a federal building in
this city. 1t authorizes the secretary
of the treasury to purchase or acquire
by condemnation a suitable site for
the building and to proceed with the
erection of the building itself. One
provision of the bill is that the site
shall leave the building unexposed
to danger of fire in other buildings
by an open space Of at least 80 feet,
including streets and alleys, and also
that no money shall be available un-
til a valid title to the property Sc
lected is vested in the United States.
Hoquiam's postoffice bill was re-
ferred to the committee on public
buildings and grounds. Efforts to
secure a federal building for this city
have been under way for several
years, but with Mr.. johnson in con-
gress now seems likely to be realized.
The Commercial club has been at
work along this line in the past and
last year a committee prepared ex-
tensive data on the subject.

MORE OIL INDICATIONS
Oil Spectators Are Applying for
Leases on School Lands in the
Vicinity Of Elma

ELMA. April 2S.-That someone
has faith in the belief that oil exists
in the vicinity of Elma, is shown BY
the fact that recently oil spectators
filed applications for oil leases on
lands in section SO township IS north
of range west, just a little over
a mile east of Elma; and also filed
applications for oil leases on section
16. up near the old logging works
of the S. E. Slade Lumber company a
few miles northwest of Elma. That
there is oil in Western Washington
good many people seem convinced
of and that it will be struck by some
one before long is earnestly hoped.
Nothing would develop the country
like a big oil district, which would
bring in millions Of dollars annually.

HOQUIAM, April 2S.-John Back
man, employed as lineup man on the
edger at the Grays Harbor Lumber
company's MILL lost his left arm as
result of being caught on a shafting
in the plant Friday afternoon. The
accident, which is the worst the COM
pany has ever had, was peculiar, and
Clarence Blagen stated last night he
was at a loss to explain it.
Backman's clothing became caught
in the shafting operating the live
rolls and he was jerked against the
shaft, his jacket was wound tightly
and his arm was broken in several
places. He was rushed to the hos
pital and after an examination the
doctors found it would be necessary
to amputate, as the ligaments had
been torn and the bone too badly
broken to heal.

Green on the Spleen.
Matthew Green. an English poet, was
subject to attacks Of spleen. After
trying almost numberless remedies he
at length conceived himself able to
treat it in philosophical spirit and
therefore wrote The Spleen" a poem
which adverts to all its forms and
their opposite remedies in style Of
comic verse resembling Hudibras and
yet eminently original. 1t abounds in
spirited couplets. Of which the follow.
ing are fair samples:
Experience. Joined to common sense.
To mortals is providence.
Happy the man Who innocent.

Sufficient wrecks appear each day.

little over a month, having graduated

day when he led the fight in the
house to overthrow Cannonism, when

When the car reached the Peace

the office building, still in trance,

and mechanically hung up his hat.
An exclamation followed from a
stenographer who didn't look exactly
familiar. Senator Norris glanced up
in an annoyed way, and of a sudden
began to realize that the furniture of
the room had changed over night.
Then. and only then, did the statesma

THE NEW PRESIDENTS STUNTS

Would you like to take President
Woodrow Wilson's place next week?
Better think minute before you answer.
The presidency is the greatest honor
that can be given to any living man.
There is good salary attached. 1t
must be fine to have everybody take Oft
their hats to you. No other position
offers so great power and influence.
But as we said, you better think q
minute before you answer. There are
certain promises that are to be carried
out politically. That means to make the
democratic donkey 60 in certain
directions whether he wants to or not.
It means to parcel out several hundred
or thousands of Offices to hungry poll
ticians and do it satisfactorily to your
self and to everybody else. 1t means q
Thousand other little matters Of which
these are but samples. And then above
oil to settle affairs in Mexico, with or
without war.
There are at least two sides to the
question Of whether one would really
like to be president.
With all hls ability, the next few
months will undoubtedly be the most
strenuous OF Nj. Wilson's life.
God save the President.

THE FUTURE OF THE G. O. P.

There is considerable agitation andap.
parent anxiety among the leaders Of the
republican party to assimilate the vari-
Gus factions and get the party again to,
gc,hrr. And we use the word factions"
rather than to say the two factions, for
as fact while generally speaking there
are two factions, yet each of these is
more or less divided in itself. They are
divided on the matter Of tariff, they are
also even divided as to the desirability of
getting together.
! Whether the republican party will
ever reorganize under the old name may
be problem atical, but that some party
with similar IDEAS will take the place is
absolutely certain.
Because thus country is government
by party and can never have any other
form of government as long as it is a re.
public.
There is a lot of talk about the indie.
pendent action Of voters but the strength
Of individual action is the strength of
rope of sand.
action.
The democratic leaders are about to
take the Rains, no matter how or where
they drive. they will find opposition.
That opposition will naturally and in
Eevitably form new party or combine as
the republican party.
Both parties as formerly organized are
lgreatly divided in political sentiment.
As matter of fact. on most matters, the
separate wings of each party are nearer
in sentiment to similar wing in the op-
posite party than to the other wing of
their own party.
There need be no haste in the attempt
to unite either wings of either party.
Great and stirring events are before the
American people. The clouds of war
may ,enveIop us within few months.
The war of capital and labor is always
with us and no one can tell what the
weeks or months to come may bring out
of this volcano.
New questions, will bring new aligne-
ments, and if it we're possible to unite
the republican party at once, it would
only be at the risk of disruption on other
matters and questions which may arise
and which no man may now foresee.
Anyway, the fact that the democrats
are in power will do more to reorganize
the republican party or its successor
than can be done by any or all OF the
republican leaders no matter how honeet
or earnest they may be.
