FRANCHISE FIGHT
PRIOR To MAY 19
ELECTION IS SLOW
Opposing Forces Spend Week in
Organizing-Council Permits
Advisory Vote.
GRANT EXPECTED TO PASS.
Referendum Considered Lemon
Foshay Victory-Mottman In
jects a Little Ginger.

While the developments in the local
franchise fight this week have not
brought it to as acute stage as antic-
ipated in some quarters, workers for
both the Olympia Light & Power COM
pany and the Lemon-Foshay forces are
beginning to get busy. Considerable
preliminary canvassing of the wards
has been done during the last week,
paving the way for future develop
ments in the fight prior to the popular
election to be held May 10.
After see-sawing back and forth for
several months, ending generally in
favor of the Olympia Light & Power
company, the city council last Friday
night voted to permit popular ad-
visory vote on the question Of grant
ing the Lemon Foshay franchise, five
members having signed an agreement
to vote according to the majority de-
cision of that election. The date Of
the referendum was fixed at May 10
and all expense Is to be borne by
Messrs. Lemon and Foshay.
The permission to hold this advisory
election Is taken as victory for the
Lemon-Foshay forces, and the prevail
ing opinion upon the streets seems to
be that the ordinance will pass the elec-
tion by large vote.
The public statement of Mayor Mott
man this week, supplementing that
which he made to the council last Fri
day night, that he is against the
granting Of any franchise to any cor
poration or individual for public utili-
ties whatever to enable them to ex-
plot the city and its inhabitants" has
added a little ginger to the situation.
This statement, coupled with the per-
sonal one to the council. Is taken to in
'dicate that the mayor proposes to veto
the ordinance regardless Of whether
the majority will expressed in the pop
ular vote favors 1t. or not.
Last Fridays special meeting was
more or less amusing, on account of
the antics INDUCED in by some of the
councilmen. Councilmen Taylor and
Elwell fought valiantly to prevent the
submission of the ordinance to popular
vote and at times seemed to swing one
or two of their colleagues their way,
but in the end the five councilmen
stood by the agreement they had pre-
viously signed and voted to submit the
franchise.

RECORD FOR OLYMPIA
Capital Leads Cities Of CInss in Sale Of
Red Cross Seals.

Olympia made the highest per capita
record of any city between 5000 and
10000 population in the sale of Red
Cross seals last fall, according to the
announcement made this week by
Bethesda l. Beals, executive secretary
of the state Anti-Tuberculosis associa
ton.
Olympia's record sales reached IL
per capita, the announcement says. Ta.
coma excelled all cities of the first class
with sales of 2.3 per capita. The re.
suits Of this sale exceed any previously
held in the history of the state, the as.
sociation netting almost $4,000 which
will be devoted to the care of the sick,
the employment of nurses, the educa.
tional work and other phases of the
tuberculosis problem.
The success of the sale in Olympia
is due entirely to the unceasing efforts
of the women of Olympia, organized
into an efficient working force by Mrs.
o. G. Ellis and Miss Janet Moore, local
directors of the state association. Mem
bers of % women's clubs of the city
were enlisted in the work, each devot-
ing two hours of her leisure time dur
ing the ante-Christmas season to SELL
ing seals.

PLAN SOUTHWEST FAIR
Counties Uniting to Exhibit Resources
Under New Law.

Preparations to proceed with the ar
rangements for the Southwest Wash
ington fair on the grounds between
Centralia and Chehalis as soon as the
new law becomes effective in June are
being made by the Lewis county COM
missioners with the cooperation of the
commissioners of Chehalis and Cow
litz counties and assurances from the
commissioners of Thurston and Mason
counties that they will likely come in
on the new plan.
Concerning some details of the fair
the Chehalis Bee-Nugget says
ut is believed that an arrangement
will be worked out under the new law
whereby each county will put an ac-
tive, capable field man on the job for
three or four months during the spring
and summer season whose business 1t
will be to interest farmers, fruit grow
ers and others in fair exhibits. The
exhibits thus worked up can be util-
ized for the local county fairs and the
best Of them also placed in the South
west Washington fair. In addition to
the attractive purse of 5000 hung up
for the best individual farm exhibit it
is also proposed to put up county
purse of $100 for the best exhibit out
side of Lewis county, with second
prize of cash value ALSO"

WILSON URGES CARE
IN ALIEN LAND LAWS
Asks California to Respect Federal
Treaties-Opposes Invidious
Discrimination.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 25.-
Defining the administration position
regarding the alien land laws pending
in the California legislature, President
| Wilson this week transmitted the fol
lowing telegram to Governor johnson
Of California:
Il speak on the assumption, which
am sure is well founded, that the peo
| pie OF California do not desire their
representatives-and that the repre-
sentatives neither wish nor intend-in
! any circumstances, to embarrass the
government of the United States in its
dealings with nation with which it
has most earnestly and cordially
sought to maintain relations of genu-
inc friendship and good will and that
least of all do they desire to do any
thing which might impair treaty obli-
cations or cast doubt on the honor and
good faith of the nation and govern
ment.
Therefore l appeal in the utmost
confidence to the people, the governor
and the legislature of California to act
In the matter now under consideration
In q manner that cannot, from any
point of view, be fairly challenged or
called in quetion. If they deem it nec-
essary to exclude all aliens who have
not declared their intention to become
citizens from the privileges of land
ownership. they can do so along lines
already followed in the laws of many
other states and foreign countries, in
cluding Japan herself. Invidious dis
elimination will inevitably draw in
question the treaty obligations of the
government of the United States.
II register my very earnest and re-
spectful protest against any discrimi
nation in this case, not only because
deem 1t my duty as chief executive OF
the nation, but also, and more readily
because believe the people and the
legislative authorities Of California
will generously respond in moment
to q matter frankly presented to them
as question of national policy and a
question Of national honor. II they
have ignored this point Of view, 1t is,
am sure, because they did not realize
what and how much was involved"
The president was re-assured by Gov.
ernor johnson in a telegraphic dec.
laration of purpose to cooperate
fully and heartily with the national
government and do only that which is
admittedly within our province, with.
out intended offense or invidious dis
elimination" After a further ex
change of kilograms Secretary of State
Bryan was invited to 60 to California
to consult with the authorities on pro
visions for an alien land bill.

$4,000 FOR ROADS
That Amount Available for County This
Year, Engineer Says.

Thurston county has $6S,000 availa
BILE this year for the construction and
maintenance of roads with in its Dor.
ders, according to statement made by
County Engineer w. H. Yeager at the
close Of the Chamber of Commerce
luncheon Tuesday noon when the sub
Ject of roads was discussed by him and
by State Highway Commissioner w.
]. Roberts in one of the most interest,
| ing meetings Of the series.
Of this amount $1S.600 is the coun-
tvs share of the new permanent high
way fund, from which it received $13..
900 last year. Fifty-six miles of per-
manent highways are to be constructed
in the county when the states present
program is carried out There are
some 500 miles of roads in the county.
Olympia will be the point of radia-
tion for more permanent state high
ways than any other city in the state,
when the state program is completed.
Running north and south out OF the
the city are the two branches OF the
Pacific highway, while two branches OF
the new Olympic highway, one running
northwest to Quilcene and Port An
geles and the other to Grays Harbor
and north along the ocean on the west
sic of the Olympics to Port Angeles,
start from the Capital City.
With the aid of map Mr.. Roberts
briefly sketched the states new good
roads program which when completed
will give it $500 miles of permanent
highways. He pronounced the provi-
sion that per cent. of all moneys ap'

BERRY GROWERS NEED
TO USE GREAT CARE
Preparation of Soil Is of Utmost
Importance-Must Conserve
Moisture.

This is the season when berry grow
ers should give their best attention to
the soil. Much more depends on doing
the proper thing at the proper time
than many people suppose, says the
Puyallup Valley Tribune. The days
of haphazard methods are past and
the grower who Is going to be at the
forefront when the returns are made is
the grower who gives the closest at
tention to details.
Extreme care should be taken in
Flowing and cultivating at this season.
Mistakes in this regard are injurious
and ofttimes fatal. Occasionally,
through the summer, the grower finds
the leaves on his canes of color. The
chances are that this is caused by too
deep plowing, too close to the canes,
whereby many of the feeding roots
are cut off, Particularly may this be
the case with red raspberries, whose
roots come much nearer the surface
than do those of most other berries.
Earlier in the season 1t is all right to
plow deep, in the center of the rows.
But not more than two burrows should
30 deep and when within six inches Of
the canes the burrows should not be
more than two inches deep. First cul-
tivation can be done deeper than any
subsequent one.
In addition to this, extreme care
r,ust be taken to prevent too great an
escape of moisture while cultivating.
The grower who uses only one horse
should plow for half day and then
harrow what has been plowed. If the
soil is allowed to remain open for "a
hours, more moisture will escape than
can be supplied by several hours hard
rain.
II two horses are used one should
plow while the other should follow in
the next row and cultivate. The finer
the soil is pulverized, the less moisture
will escape. More particularly Is the
foregoing the fact in the spring than
| in the fall. In the fall the land should
be plowed and permitted to stay open
ell winter to allow the rains to pene-
trate. Otherwise much of the moisture
will run Off.
All weeds and grass should be taken
cut of the rows, as they rob the soil Of
much fertility that should be conserv-
ed. Berries of all kinds need all the
sustenance contained in the soil. To
feed worthless growths with what
should by rights 60 to the berry plants
is very poor policy.

10RN0W IS BURIED
Thousands Attend Outlaws Funeral mt
MOntesanO-Rests Beside Nephews.

His mad, murderous career ended
John Tornow, the outlaw of the Olym
pics. was buried this week within a
few feet of the bodies of his twin neph
ews on the old Tornow homestead near
Montesano, in the midst of a crowd OF
several thousand curious onlookers.
Several moving picture operators took
views of the scene.
The killing of these twins was the
act which started Tornow on his mad
career, a career which has ended in
the known deaths of four others, all
pursuers, and which has started mum
berless stories Of depredations through.
out the Oxbow country, all laid at his
door. The services over the body were
simple, no sermon being preached, Rev
R. L. Shelly of the Christian church.
Montesano, saying a few simple pray
ers before the body was lowered into
the hastily dug grave.
Deputy Sheriff Giles Quimby, who
killed Turnow during the fight last
Wednesday in the upper regions of
the Wynoochie river when Blair and
Lathrop lost their lives, probably will
stand trial for murder in Chehalis
county, at his own request, to clear
himself of any taint. The deputy wants
the official record to show he was JUS
titled in his act.

Whether one likes him or not, or
whether one agrees with him politi-
cally, one must admire Governor Lis
ter for his courage in going directly
to the people who disagreed with him
and telling them why he did what he
did. In the face of the incidents OF
his recent tour of the state the pins
are knocked wholly from under those
late lamented Republicans of the last
last legislature who attempted to call
him "dodger."

propriated must be spent in mainte-
nance as the wisest in the law, and
endorsed Governor Listers assertion
that the state should quit talking
about good roads and begin building
some.
Failure of the state to pay Thurston
county it's proportion of the public
highway fund is largely responsible for
the county's inability to maintain all
the roads in the county as the author
tiles desire, Mr.. Yeager said He called
particular attention to the county's in
tention to construct the East Bay ave-
nue-Gull Harbor connecting link and
to spend $3.50 a month in maintaining
the Tenino road.
