WATER OEvAcTATtS OHIO AND INDIANA

seattle, Portland and other Pacific
Coast cities, together with every large
city in the country and the Red Cross
associations Of the Various states, are
now rushing donations of money,
food and clothing 20 the sufferers il
Indiana and Ohio. Governor Ernest
Lister OF Washington issued the fol
towing call To the people of Washing
ton Thursday:
The terrible destruction of life and
property caused by storms and foods
in Ohio, Indiana and the surrounding
country is appalling. AS governor of
the state of Washington ! feel it my
duty to appeal to the people of this
state to aid materially in relieving the
sufferings of our fellow citizens in the
East. The Nationa, Red Cross associa-
ton has taken charge of this work and
as president of the national associa-
ton for Washington | respectfully sug
gest that all contributions for this pur-
pDSt Dt uidut W nun. y. II. SillDSl
of Seattle, who is the state treasurer
of the National Red Cross association
for Washington. He Will transmit the
funds to TIE national treasurer under
whose direction, believe, the money
can be most advantageously and eff
GENTLY spent.
"ln the spirit of thankfulness for our
own safety and prosperity and of help
fulness to the hundreds of thousands
of families whose homes have been
ruined and bereaved, let the people of
Washington respond literally to this
call for assistance which the sorrow
and suffering Of these people makes
upon all civilized men,"
Mayor hoffman of Olympia also is
sued a proclamation yesterday in
which he called upon the citizens of
the city to respond generously from
their bounty to the aid of the food suf-
ferers. The work of starting subscrip-
tions was undertaken by President F.
NJ. Kenney of the Chamber of Com
merce and both banks acted as treas
urers and quite neat sum will be
sent back as Olympia's contribution to
the devastated cities.

Two more appointments announced
by Governor Lister Thursday we're:
Judge NJ. M. Goldman, Seattle,
to succeed George A. Lee on the
public service commission
e. w. Olson, Walla Walla, to
succeed Charles 8. Hubbard as
labor commissioner.
Judge Goldman is probably one of
the best known of the old.time Demo.
Gratis of the state. He has been prac.
ticing law in Seattle lately, but was
at one time superior Judge at Dayton
Columbia county, later a member OF
the legislature and last summer pri
mary candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor. He will as
sumo his new duties April 10. the pres
sure of his private business preventing
his acceptance sooner.
E. w. Olson is chairman of the
Walla Walla county Democratic cen
trail committee, president of the Walls
Walla trades council, one of the or
ganizers of the Young Mems Demo
cratic league of Washington and al
active member of the Typographical
union. He will take Office the SECOND
Monday in April, when Hubbard's tern
expires.

LISTER CUTS LEVY
Another "A MILL
Vetoes S4S0,000 " re Of Appropri-
ations--Woma~ S Building
Among Items.

On his last day for acting upon lcgis-
iative attachments Governor Ernest Lis
FER carried his policy OF economy still
.turther and eliminated $1SG,000 from
The supplementary budget OF $545.03
and 100000 in other appropriations a
saving of $4so,oo0 or nearly /, Of a
mill each year to the taxpayers of the
SIare
The budget items vetoed we're: $780,
700 for the proposed woman's building
al t6e University of Washington. 500
900 icr the state fish commissioner
and $4,000 for confidential cruise
of the state lands. He also vetoed
ssi0h,0G0 for the preliminary survey of
she Quincy irrigation project and $780,
900 for the public building bureau.
Concerning his veto of the woman's
building appropriation he said:
j have made careful investigation
covering the item of 100000 for a
wplnan's building at the University of
Washington. From the investigation
made it appears that this building
would be most desirable addition to
g-he university, and there is, no doubt,
asome necessity for its construction
ITts asrky reason for vetoing the item is
thai the appropriations for the coming
EDienniurn have been increased to such
an extent That it will be necessary to
materially increase the tax levy to meet
;the additional demands. 1t is probable
that the state will be in better shape
financially two years from now to give
Its approval to an appropriation for
This purpose"
The 100000 for the fish commission
GET wxs vetoed because the legislature
Mailed ~ pass the new fish code. The
$4,000 for a cruise of the state lands
sw2s declared unnecessary in view of a
aprevhous appropriation of 100000,
which @the governor deemed sufficient.
Other bills acted on were:

sz1pland owners to shore lands of Lake

'HmBPERT Inv OFFERS BEST MEANS

ed. With the expert advisor in the

have developed into prosperous farm

The Southwest Development associa-
stion and those others interested in de-
welorang the agricultural resources of

The agricultural expert would not

SunMn oifer his assistance to the old

proper methods Of cultivation. pruning,
grating and the proper mixture nee

remarkable progress could be made in

The work Of the expert, also. In in
sstr1Acfing our older farmers in the best
manner ID planting and attending to
their crops and in the cultivation Of
such crops as find q ready market, and
.@also In obtaining the largest possible
yield from their farms, would mean
much for the county in placing the
farms ON a solid. paying basis. Con
siderable of the objections to burden

ing the farmers how they could real
1se greater profits.
The expert advisor would have the
qualities OF an organizer, as he would
advise the farmers as to the proper

thereof will have to answer to an out

THURSTON ELECTION
. PLEASING TO PUBLIC
Approval of School Boards Sc
lection of New Superinten-
dent Is Universal.

Universal expressions of APPROVAL were
heard today at the selection Of Ernest
L. Thurston as superintendent OF
schools, not only because Of his emil
nent qualifications, but because he is
representative Washington man. As
forecast in the later editions OF Mon
days Times, the action of the school
board was unanimous, tie secretary
being instructed to cast the ballot.
Some differences are said to have de-
veloped in the private conference of
members prior to the open session, but
these were readily adjusted when it
was found that all but two we're active
supporters Of Mr.. ThurotGn. Then.
friends stated that Emory Wilson de-
sired that his name should not be con-
siderec.
The session was short, and was occu-
pied, in addition to the selection OF the
superintendent, by the adoption of reso-
