STATE TO SELL
LANDIN JANUARY
Land Commissioner Savidge
will Sell Farm Lands
Earlier in Year

OLYMPIA, Sept. 22.-State Land
Commissioner Clark v. Savidge an.
nounces that a state land sale will
be held on January 6, 1914, for the
special purpose of accommodating
those who wish to purchase farming
lands in time to begin cultivating
them in the Spring. Because of the
fact that only one sale can be held
each month and that on the first
Tuesday of the month, and because
under the provisions of the law prac.
tically a month must elapse after the
sale before 1t can be confirmed and
deed issued, it will be seen that Jan.
uary 9Th is the latest date on which
a sale can be held for this purpose.
Applications for this sale must
reach the State Land Office not later
than October Is, 1918. as the land
must be inspected, appraised and no.
tices of sale published for five weeks
before the land is offered.
OF course, other sales will be held
at a later date but Commissioner Saw
idge thought best to make particular
mention of this one for the benefit
of the farmers.

LUCY CAP0EMAN
BEYOND RELIEF
Quiniault Indian Woman TAX.
en- to Portland in Last Stare
of tuberculosis

PORTLAND, Sept 22.-(Special.)-
H. H. Johnson, superintendent of the
Cushman Indian school, was in the
city from Tacoma a few days ago
looking after Mrs. Lucy Capoeman
member of the Quiniault tribe from
the reservation in Chehalis county
Washington, who was brought to this
city recently in the last stages of tu.
berculosis. She was brought here by
her husband, intending to enter the
sanitarium of the Drs. Matson, but
was too far gone for admission to
that institution.
1t is said that had the woman been
brought to the sanitarium few
months sooner, her life might posi-
bly, have been saved. She was TAX
en- to another institution in the city
where such cases are cared for, and
Supt. Johnson will have her properly
cared for. under instructions from the
Indian Office at Washington.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs
has ordered the timber on 80 acres
of land, allotted to Mrs. Capoeman
cruised, and will probably order the
timber sold for her immediate bene-
fit.

NEARLY READY
TOBORE FOR OIL
Machinery and Derrick Being
Erected at Taholah, and
Casing Has Arrived

j. A. Paulhamus of the Indian Oil
company returned from Tahola Sat
urday pleased with the progress his
company is making preliminary to
starting drilling on the lease north of
Quiniault Lake. AS Mr.. Paulhamus
,, is satisfied with conditions pertain
ing to operations of the Indian Com
pany, likewise is he all optimistic
over the outlook for striking a good
flow of petroleum in that country. If
oil is not found in good paying guam
titles he will be much surprised.
All machinery for driving the new
we'll is now at Taholah, ready to be
taken across the Quiniault river and
up the hill to the we'll site. Two
cars of casing arrived at Moclips Sat
urday and will be taken to Taholah
at once.
Work at Taholah would have been
under way several days ago except
; for unusually heavy work in trail
building. The trail to the site of the
new well is about 5000 feet through
the woods and extremely heavy woods
with thick underbrush at that. Much
more work was required on this than
was at first believed, as it was thought
one of the old trails over the ridge
could be used.
Lumber for the derrick and nlat-
form, which has been at Taholah sew
eral days has been taken across the
! river and most of it pulled up the
hill with gasoline donkey engine.
Next will be the machinery and then
the lumber will be taken in and erec.
tion of the derrick will begin. This
derrick will be &C feet in height with
a 20-foot base.

COUNTY FAIR
ALMOST READY
Grounds and Buildings are in
Shape for Opening On
October First

= The county fair, which opens at
Elma one week from tomorrow will
be one of the educational events in
Chehalis county, and, when all it's
it may, perhaps, be the chief event.
1t will concentrate the progress OF
the county at one center and inform
the attendants through object lessons
of interest and value.
The management has spared no ef-
forts to make this fair a success,
the prospect now appears to be that
the weather will do it's part and it
only remains for the people of the
county. especially on Grays Harbor
where agriculture may be said to be
in it's infancy, to turn out numerous
ly. The merits of the fair entitle it
to the fullest measure of popular
recognition. and this is required to
put it on it's financial feet.
The fair will open on Wednesday
October 1, and continue until Sunday
October 5. Wednesday will be open
ing day, and will be devoted to the
opening ceremonies and getting the
exhibits in shape generally. Thurs.
day will be Mason county, Oakville,
Porter. McCleary and Malone day;
Friday. Montesano and school chill
dren day, when all children under IL
years. accompanied by parents or
teacher will be admitted free; Satur.
day has been designated Lewis and
Thurston counties. farmers and
Grange day, and Sunday will be Grays
Harbor day, when special facilities
will be afforded by the Northern Pa.
cific railway to carry the folks to and
from the fair.
There will be horse races on Thurs.
day, Friday. Saturday and Sunday,
and motorcycle races on Sunday at
II o'clock a. m.

CITY ESTIMATES
ARE DISCUSSED
Mass Meeting is Held to Dis
cuss City Budget With
View Of Pruning 1t
REDUCTION IMPERATIVE
Appoints Committee to Go
Over Schedule with Coun-
Gil Finance Committee

The city council room in the city
hall was filled almost to it's capacity
Friday night, at the mass meeting
called to discuss the city budget of
expenditures for 1914, showing the
deep interest that is being taken in
taxation matters this year. This in
terest is not confined to Aberdeen or
Chehalis county, but is tolerably gen.
eral over the state With an increase
of three or four mills in the state
levy caused by laws enacted by the
last legislature in sight almost every
city, county and school district in
the state is pruning it's estimates for
the expenditures of 1914. Citizens of
Tacoma are exercised over a budget
that calls for a levy of 13 mills, while
Aberdeen had 16-mill levy last year,
which will be increased if the budget
be adopted as published.
Mayor France was elected chairman
Of the meeting and P. F. Clark sec.
retary. On motion it was decided to
go over the budget item by item which
was done, and a number of sugges-
tions made without any definite re-
suit further than to reveal the temp.
er of the crowd to be in favor of re-
trenchment, and of the opinion that
the estimates were altogether too
high. The fact that the city, in addi-
ton to the large sum paid in taxes
had incurred warrant Indebtedness
of $134,000 in the past two years was
brought out by Geo. F. McDougall,
former water superintendent, which
called forth a remark from J. c.
Hogan that there was no law to keep
the expenditures within the sums es-
timated in the budget, and he sug-
gested that an ordinance be enacted
covering this defect.
The item for $500 for publicity
purposes brought out considerable
discussion in the course of which Ed
c Finch made forceful and logical
while c. M. Weatherwax thought the
old method of popular subscriptions
from the few public spirited who
have kept up the work in the past
had better be continued, and the non
residents and local tight-wads be per
mitted to continue to reap where
they had not sown.
For general expenses $44,S54 will
be required, according to the esti
mate, 100000 of this being for lights
as against $4,000 last year and $12,
for similar service for Yakima.
"You are planning for more light
than you can Afford" said E. B. Benn
POSSIBLY one-third of the lights car
be eliminated. We pay higher rates
per capita than any city in the state
The city has not grown any in two
years, and there is no necessity fol
doubling the cost of light"
G. M. Weatherwax suggested that
the estimate of $4,000 for bridges
and streets could be reduced by cut
ting down the number of employees
which is now 30
AS final act the meeting appoint
ed a committee consisting of w. j
Patterson, c. M. Weatherwax, J. c
Hogan, J. J. Carney and E. B. Benn
to act with the finance committee oil
the council in trimming the budget.

WEDDING At FAIR PROPOSED

"No levy for Tahoma cemetery will
be necessary for 1914.
"The total estimated levy is
$195.S71.
Two Elections Next Year
Commissioner Crocker accounts for
the differing figures for this year and
next, in the miscellaneous department
by the fact that next year prepara-
tions will have to be made for two
elections. The gap between the total
receipts exclusive of the levies, for
the two vars, is due, he explains to
the fact that when last years estimate
was made, the local option issue was
just coming to a head, and not know
ing whether the saloons would retain
their hold in the city, the commission
did not consider it fair to count on
their license as part Of the forthcom-
ing revenue. The Office of plumbing
inspector is new, having been created
three months ago.
when it is pointed out that the
state tax will this year almost double
the last assessment, the county tax
about the same, and the school tax
perhaps uncovered, the city's thrift
may be viewed with particular PRIDE"
Contrast With Aberdeen
Contrast this statement with condi-
tions in Aberdeen today. We are not
pointing with PRIDE" but, on the con-
trary, are trying to dodge financial
disaster. This is not pleasant say
ing, but the moment is fraught with
too much danger for one to daily with
honied words, the occasion calls for

TRUCK INVADES CAMP TRAIL.
Federal Car Makes Rough Roads In
Rockies With Ease.

j. w. Wainwright, a Federal truck
distributor of Reno, New, recently
drove the first truck that ever at
tempted the journey over an almost
impossible trail to the new camp at
Rochester, a decently opened mining
settlement. From there the truck was
again piloted over the Rockies via al
most indistinct roads to Winnimucca,
% miles from Reno.
Supplies and more than one ton of
baa = ge together with four passen-
gers were loaded on and the trip was
made back to camp over another road
that a teamster declared truck
could not negotiate. This return of
20 miles Was made in one hour and
40 minutess, making most of the dis
tance on high speed. After dinner
at the camp the demonstrating tour
was continued to Lovelock. 80 miles
distant. After spending several days
in Lovelock, where Mr.. Mcintosh, a
prospector was added to the party, the
journey was resumed back to the

FIRST SILENT
Cost of New Feature Said to Be Pro.
hibition for Medium Priced Cars.

Speaking of the matter of silencing
motor cars in operation, James F.
Bourquin, general manager of the
Paige-Detroit Motor Car company
said:
ut isn't so many years ago that
one was aware of the approach of an
automobile without seeing it, and this
was by no means entirely due to the
noisue of the exhaust from the motor
The rapid movement of the recip-
rocating parts of the engine, pistons,
connecting rods, driving shafts, valves
timing gears, all contributed toward
the almost unbearable noise which
accompanied the vehicle to the annoy
ance and misery of the occupants
Standard Cars Are Silent.
THE differene between the cars of
a few years ago and those of today
show very strikingly the wonderful
improvement made in eliminating the
noise of operation. In fact, the i'm
provement is so great that it is al
most permissible to call the standard
cars of today Silent
Cost Was Prohibitive.
ut was quite natural that the cost
liest cars cars should be the first to
adopt this new and greatly improved
feature, as its adoption on medium
priced cars was prohibited by the in
creased cost.
"The Paige 49, timing gears, how
ever, are driven by silent chains en-
closed in an aluminium housing, and
run in continual bath of oil supplied
by a plunger pump, In fact the
Paige is the first medium-priced car
to be placed on the market"

100000 FORD
CARS TO Be
SOLD BY JUNE
Great Record to Be Established fol
1913 Season.

BY what date this year will the
Ford Motor company have sold it's
seasons gigantic output of 100000
cars?
This question is causing much spec
ulation among students of the auto
mobile market and especially those
in touch with things at the Ford fac
tory.
Two years ago the Ford company
built during its manufacturing year
more than 10000 cars and had them
entirely sold before the middle of
June. Last year the production was
nearly doubled and again June saw
the last order taken for delivery until
the end of the manufacturing year
This year the Ford production has
been more than doubled and if his
tory repeats itself, and there seems
every reason for its doing so. June
once more should see the last order
taken this year for a Ford car.
