ROADS DAMAGED

ROADS DAMAGED ct
Damage to the county roads and
bridges in the west end is not as
bad as at first believed, as a result
of the recent high water and the
hig tides and surf on the beach, ac-
cording to e. f. Fishel, county COM
missioner, who, accompanied by
County Engineer H. S. Shorey and
A. ]. Paulhamus, made trip through
the district Wednesday.
The plank road to the beach is not
in bad shape and the cost of repairs
will be small The damage to the
bridge at Joe creek is light, only d
small amount being required to re-
pair the approach.
The Moclips bridge presents a Sc
rious matter for the county commits

. ldge rests on the Quiniault Indian
reservation. which causes the unwind

bridge was damaged by tidal erosion,
and the commissioners requested In
dian Agent Johnson to assist in the
necessary repairs. Johnson replied
that nothing could be done by his
department in the premises notwith-
standing the fact that the bridge is
the only outlet for the Indians, as
well as the only route to the oil fields
and the settlements to the north.
The commissioners now desire to
build a permanent bridge. with con-
crete piers. about half mile further
up the river, and out of tidal danger.
but to do SO half mile of road
must be built on the reservation,
through a swamp, and they feel that
the Indian department should coop
crate. by building the road and as
sisting with the bridge
The commissioners have taken the
matter up with Congressman John
son. and have asked him to make the
situation plain to the department.

COUNTY POOR
ARE WELL FED
Complaint Of Pomona Grange
Not Substantiated Upon
an Investigation

An investigation of conditions at
the county poor farm do not bear out
the complaint filed with the county
commissioners Monday, by a com.
mittee Of the Pomona Grange. Char.
ity Commissioner Chas. McDermoth
visited the farm Monday afternoon,
entirely unexpected, and could find
no complaint with the food served,
either as to quantity, quality or cook
ing.
Rev. McDermoth entered at the
back door, passing through the kitch-
en- and dining room, which he found
scrupulously clean. The inmates had
just finished dinner, and there was
sufficient meat, vegetables and bread
on the table to make another meal.
and soup left over was thrown in the
swill barrel. The following bill of
fare. which was adopted some months
ago, was being served regularly:
For breakfast, mush of either oat-
meal or cOrnmeal, cOHee, bread and
butter, fried potatoes. hot cakes, when
mush is not served, milk and fruit.
For dinner. soup. one kind of meat or
fish, potatoes and other vegetables,
dessert of pudding or pie, fruit, tea
and milk. For supper tea and milk,
bread and butter, meat or fish, pota-
toes and other vegetables. cake, fruit
and doughnuts.
The inmates spoke of visit of two
members OF the Grange in October,
but knew of no complaints being
made to them, nor of any reason for
making any. Judging from the bill
of fare. the poor fare better than
many families whose members work
all day at hard labor.

Both are of Importance, and Should Receive At
tention Of Voters. Port Plans are Up
for Adoption
NO MONEY INVOLVED IN PORT ELECTION
will Vote on a Bond Issue to Find OutStdndinQ
School Warrants. Election of Mrs. Mary
f. BelmfOrh is Conceded

The joint elections of the school
and port district tomorrow will prob
ably bring out larger vote than is
usually cast at the annual school
elections, as considerable interest is
being taken in the port projects.
The Port Proposition
The following interview recently
given out by Frank H. Lamb. chair
man of the port commission, outlines
the proposition tersely and complete
ly:
Adoption of the plan proposed by
the commission for improvement OF
the port and to be voted upon next
Saturday does not mean bond issue
as some people have been led to be-
lieve, said Mr.. Lamb. If the commits
sion wishes to issue bonds to take
up larger proposition of develop
ment, it would be necessary to put
them to vote of the people at a regu.
lar election.
The levy this year for port pur
poses will yield about 100000. EX-
penses this year to date have been
$4,000, practically confined to engi
neering work, leaving $4,000 avail
able next year to start work provid-
ed the plans are approved by the
voters. The only thing to do this
election is to adopt the plans and
elect a commissioner. The levy has
already been made and is is not d
matter to be voted upon.
A special election might have
been held before this one, but that
would have involved extra and un-
necessary expense of about $500, SO
the election was postponed until this
time that expenses might be shared
with the school districts.
With the amount of money avail
able it should be possible during the
coming year to provide coastwise
docks; also to provide landings for
small boats in the different towns.
This last improvement is greatly
needed For instance, few dollars
expended on the Hoquiam dock
would provide a landing place that
would accommodate the many who
pass daily over it, arriving from and
departing for lower harbor points.
More landings will be needed in the
future than the commission now con-
templates, and these landings should
be secured before property values in
crease further.

STATE SUES FOR TIMBER
Schaffer Brothers Show That They
Paid for All Timber Cut, Pay
ment Made to Agent Of State

MONTESANO. Dec. 4.-The states
suit against Peter Shaffer and broth
ers for the value of timber cut off
school land bought under lease and
allowed to go back to the state, was
heard by Judge Sheeks Tuesday, and
taken under advisement
There was evidence that the Sha'-
fer Brothers had paid Ben Peck,
agent for the state. $500 in settle
ment for all timber cut. and the state
admits the payment and even that
it still has the $500.
There was considerable evidence as
to the value Of the timber cut. The
states witnesses testified it was
worth all the state is asking for It
now, and others put the value lower.

TIME CLOCK ON HENS
Trapnesting Apparatus Keeps an Ac,
count Of Individual Work Of the
Industry Of the Hen

HOQUIAM, Dec. 5.-Among the
new and practical accessories of d
poultry farm which may be seen at
the poultry show in the Hanson
building, 606 Eighth street. which
closes tomorrow, is the Daniels trap
nesting apparatus. 1t was designed
by Chris Daniels G Sons, owners of
the Ideal Poultry yards. and permits
the keeping of an accurate individual
record of each hens production and
of the laying strain. The hen upon
entering nest automatically releases
a drop door that fastens her in the
compartment. When her days work
is done, the attendant enters on the
record her tag number and places
the egg with others from the same
hen.

"The commission isn't going to
spend the peoples money for any
thing that isn't represented by ac>
tual property of equivalent value, or
which will increase the commerce Of
the port sufficiently to justify thai
expenditure.
Even to date, with practically no
expenditures the port through efforts
of the commission is the owner OF
property worth many thousands OF
dollars.
The School Elections
In Aberdeen, besides the election
of a member of the Board of Educa-
tion to succeed Dr. |. r. Watkins, the
voters will decide upon the plan to
fund the outstanding warrant indebt-
edness in bonds, to draw not to ex-
ceed six per cent.
The withdrawal of DR.. Watkins
from the field, leaves the contest be-
tween Mrs. Mary F. Beimfohr and
Joseph Thamas for the board of edu-
cation. Thomas is running on the
socialist ticket, but that party is max
ing no visible effort in his behalf
while Mrs. Beimfohr is being warmly
supported, and her election is CON
ceeded.

MOODY LADY
 NOT MOODY
For Five Years Miss Davis of Moody Was in Terrible Plight, But She
 Is Now in Fine Spirits.

Moody, Tex.-In an interesting let ter from this place, Miss Cora Davis, of R. F. D. No. 6, Box 20, writes as follows:
 q had been taking different medi- cines for the past five years, without any relief and last spring my system was so completely run down, and I felt so tired and nervous all the time, hardly felt like staying out of bed
 Friends advised me try Cardui, the woman's tonic, and after taking six bottles, felt like an entirely different person.
 I was relieved of my nervousness, and bad headaches, and could sleep soundly all night,-something hadn't done for years.
 also gained IS pounds in weight after taking Cardui, and am in better spirits, and feel better, than I have felt for five years.
 I cannot say enough in behalf of Cardui. It is the grandest medicine ever discovered, and a God-send to all suffering women and girls"
 We do not ask you to accept our statements as to the merits of Cardui the woman's tonic
 We receive thousands of letters, similar to the above, from grateful ladies, every year, telling what this medicine has done for them, and giv- ing us permission to publish their let ters.

MOTTO FOR CHRISTIAN HOME
Ideals Which Consistently Lived Up to, Cannot Fall to Make for Hap
 piness In Life.

This home is dedicated to good will. It grew out of love. The two heads of the household were called together by power higher than they. To it's decree they are obedient. Every tone of the voice, every thought of their being, is subdued to that service. They desire to be worthy of their high call inx as ministers of that grace. They know their peace will go unbroken only for little time. And often they suspect that the time will be more short even than their anxious hope. They cannot permit so much as one hour of that brief unity to be touched by scorn or malice The worlds judg- ments have lost their sting inside this door. Those who come seeking to continue the harmony which these two have won are ever welcome. The rich are welcome so they come sim ply. The poor are welcome, for they have already learned friendliness through buffeting. Youth is welcome, for 1t brings the joy which these two would learn. Age is welcome, for it will teach them tenderness.-Collier's Weekly.

Julius Caesar.

The almost unanimous verdict of ancient and modern times is to the eff feet that Julius Caesar was what Shakespeare calls him. ''The fore most man of all this world" Never before or since has anyone exhibit ed in so high degree all the qual- ities of born ruler of men. And never had any man a grander role to play. To preside over the most i'm portant crisis in the history of the most important branch of the human race was a task that none but the greatest of men could successfully perform. Caesar swept one obstacle after another aside, and stood at last where he meant to stand.

Having ascertained his weight on the railway station weighing machine the man said to the porter:
 Isn't it lack of business foresight to put one of those machines that dis tributes prizes to persons who guess their own weight correctly, bang up against other scales that they could get weighed on before hand, and thus guess on sure thing? You must have great faith in human nature, you?"
 "Oh, no, sir" said the porter, "but we have in the machine"

 Possibly not. In any case l shall require to see your passport"

Poetry and Music,

If had to live my life again would have made rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week; for perhaps the parts of my brain now atrophied would thus have been kept active through use. The loss of these tastes is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be inju- rious to the intellect, and more prob ably to the moral character, by en- feeDling the emotional part of our na- ture.-Charles Darwin.

Unpicked Grapes Go to the Poor.

A curious old law, which dates from 1779, has been used to sentence the owner of vineyard at Capestang, near Beziers, France, to fine and costs for picking her own grapes. She was picking the grapes which had been left on the vines in her vineyard after the fall gathering, when the policeman told her that she was committing an offense against the law, as all grapes left on the vines after the harvest were the property of the poor. The court at Beziers confirmed the police mans opinion, and the woman was convicted.
