SAYS BROWN MUST PAY
Or Chauffeur Who Drove for Mrs. MOtt-
man Must Go to Jail-TenlnO News.

The following comment In the last
issue of the Tenino News, based on a
report that the TeninO authorities
might compromise with Mayor Mott
man regarding the $50 fine for speed
ing assessed against the chauffeur who
drove Mrs. Mottman through Tenino
recently at a high rate of speed, to en.
BILE her to catch a train at Centralia,
Is interesting:
"The records of the police justice
show no proceedings against Mr.. Mott
man. One Lynn Brown was arrested
by the Centralia officials on informa-
ton telephoned from TeninO, brought
back to Tenino and released pending
trial on his own recognizance. At his
trial he pleaded guilty and was fined
$50. This was Browns second appear
ance under arrest in Tenino. This and
his statement that he had been ar
rested in many other towns indicates
his disregard for the law and marks
him as a regular offender. Brown
must pay the fine or go to jail

Attacking a recent magazine article
by former Forester Clifford Pinchor,
the representative declared it was the
most scathing arraignment of sonserv-
alton ever made, although written as a
defense.
"He says that the state Of Washing

12,0O0.O 900 acres of land $115,000, or
$14.40O annually or about IN cents an
acres-a magnificent return surely
from the finest timber lands in the
world.
"At the rate of taxes imposed in our
state upon private timber holdings,
the state would receive not the pitiful
sum Of $14,4O0 per year, but $7,593,00O
annually. In other words, we would
get as much for 1t every year as the
forest service would pay us in 52S

There is perhaps no field today, al

several large markets available in the
state, but there Is a constant and in.
creasing demand for dairy products
from this section of the state in Alas.

Of this argument may be quoted the

and $1,264,455 worth went to Alaska.
The peculiar adaptability of Western
Washington to the growth of forage
and the economic production of milk
opens the door Of opportunity for
reaching q position of eminence that
cannot be rivaled by any other state in
the Union. Experts who have studied
the situation from every angle state
that because of the longer season, al
lowing cattle to pasture practically the
year round. the heavy yield per head
and the richness Of the milk produced,
dairying is certain to become the most
valuable agricultural adjunct of West
ern Washington.
