PRESIDENT EARLlNG
FINDS CROPS GOOD
Spirit Of Optimism Prevails Among
Farmers, No New Trackage,
Says Railroad Man.

SEATTLE, July 30.-President A. j.
Earling Of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway arrived in Seattle
today after trip of inspection over
the company's lines and said crop
prospects in the Northwest were ex-
cellent.
II have traversed the Northwestern
part of the United States many times
but l do not remember ever having
seen the crops in better condition than
at present." said Mr.. Earling. "The
weather, taken as a whole, had been
propitious and the grains have been
particularly favored. A spirit of optim.
ism seems to prevail among the farm
ers of the Middle West and Northwest
as a result of prevailing crop condi-
tions and on every side during my re-
cent trip l heard predictions of bump
er crops"
Mr.. Earling said that aside from
300 miles of new branch lines already
under construction in Montana, the
company had arranged for no new
trackage in the Northwest.

new RULES FOR
PARCEL POST
New Regulations Effective
Aug. Is, Make the Service
Much More Useful

On August Is the new regulations
for the parcel post will go into effecta,
with a prospective large increase in
both the use and the usefulness of this
new adjunct to the postal service. The
experimental stage has passed and 1t
is possible now to devise regulations
with actual knowledge. instead of spec
ulative estimates, of the cost and of the
usefulness of the new branch of the
service.
The new regulations, which stand to
the credit of Postmaster General Bur-
leson's administration of Office, apply
only to first and second zones for the
present. The maximum weight limit
within those zones is raised from the
present maximum of II pounds to 20.
The present rate for the first, or local,
zone is cents for the first pound and l
cent for each additional pound. The
new rate is cents for the first pound
and / cent for each additional two
pounds. 1t will be possible to send a
package weighing 20 pounds anywhere
within the local zone for Is cents after
the new regulations take effect.
The present rate for the second zone
which embraces an area within 150-
mile airline radius of the postofiice, is
6 cents for the first pound and cents
for each additional pound up to II
pounds. The new rate will be cents
for the first pound and l cent for each
additional pound up to 20 pounds. A
2O.pound package can, therefore, be
shipped into Seattle from any point not
distant further than $50 miles for "a
cents.
The new rate should result in an ex.
traordinary increase in the use of the
parcel post, particularly from the op.
portunity which they will afford farm.
ers and fruit growers to deal directly
with customers in the city, without the
intervention of middle men.

OBJECTION TO
WISHKAH ROAD
Property Owners Ask Injunc-
tion to Stop Proposed
Change in Road
CONTRACT HAS BEEN LET
New Route Said to Be Much
the Best, But Is Disliked
by Residents on Road

MONTESANO, July 31.-Taggart &
Phillips have started injunction pro.
ceedings for Sven johnson and other
property owners to stop Chehalis
county and the Standard Transfer
company, contractors, from building
the cut off on the Wishkah road about
seven miles north of Aberdeen, con.
tract for which was awarded July
last.
Commissioner Locke has been try.
ing to get this work under way all
summer, but has met with objections
continually. 1t is the one seriously
bad stretch on the Wishkah road The
road at present makes a horseshoe
curve there and over a very bad
grade and two deep ravines. The
new survey cuts across over what is
said to be very much better stretch
of country on almost a straight line.
The grades of the old road were IL
and IA per cent, whereas the new
road gives grades of not to exceed
5 per cent. Moreover the new route
cuts out two bad bridges, avoiding
the ravines over which they were built
and approaches the bridge across the
river on tangent instead of sharp
curve.
The objection made to the road is
principally that it leaves the homes
of the objectors off the main road. It
is claimed however by the engineers
that it shortens their distance to and
from postoffice, schools and churches
The grounds on which the injunc.
ton was asked of Judge Sheeks are
that the road was never established
as required by state law in that there
was no petition for the road, no reso'
luton favoring it and that no notice
Of hearing was ever made.

YOUNG WOMEN
Use HORSEWHIPS
Four Mattresses Waylay and
Horsewhip Alleged De-
famer Tuesday Night

HOQUIAM, July 31.-Four young wo-
men, mattresses in Harbor restaurants,
Tuesday night waylaid John Blotter,
whom they allege had made remarks
rejecting on their regulations and,
each welding heavy new horsewhip,
gave him a beating which he is not
calculated soon to forget. The attack
occurred on Myrtle street between Pa
cific and Aberdeen avenues, about
o'clock.
The young women were masked and
wore long black cloaks which conceal
ed their identity from Blotter, who
wasn't sure, according to his own
statement several hours after the af-
fair, whether his assailants were men
or women. He declared he had no
idea who they were and also that he
had no idea why anyone should make
an attack of that kind on him. He be-
lieved, he said, it had been a case of
mistaken identity.
Blotter, who has been in Hoquiam
little more than a month, is en-
ployed as day waiter at the Club cafe.
He joined the walters union recently,
and some of the members charge he
made remarks of a low order about
the girls, later insulting one of them.
Tuesday evening he and Miss Anna
Ekhardt were invited to a party at
home near the Aberdeen-Hoquia
line. When they arrived they found
the party had been called off and so
started back to the car line. When
on Myrtle street, between Pacific and
Aberdeen avenues, at dark place
four persons stepped out, two from
each side of the street and each armed
with horsewhip. Seeing trouble was
coming, and possibly suspecting the
truth, Miss Ekhardt got away just as
the four bemasked and cloaked young
women began to use their whips on
Blotter.
BlOtter turned toward the nearest
street light and made his way there
as rapidly as possible. He says he
was unable to decoy his assailants
into the light so he could tell who
they were. He was beaten over the
head, shoulders and across the face
and hands. One of the young women
broke her whip and the sharp end cut
the back of Blotters right hand. Just
before the victim had reached the
lighted street crossing the four desist-
ed from their efforts and turned back
into the dadkness.

SPLENDID RACE TRACK
Three Main Buildings and
Grand Stand Completed
90 Ready by Oct /

ELMA, July 31.-The Chehalis coun.
ty fair ground is going to have one OF
the best race tracks in the West. The
grading for it is completed and all
that remains is the building of the
fence on each side and the surfacing
Of some gravelly places with clay. The
grading has been an immense job. At
both ends of the track it has been
necessary to fill in from three to six
feet and along the north side there is
cut of from one to three feet.
The track is half mile one, but its
advantage over most other short
tracks is that the curves are longer
and easier. The grand stand faces the
south.
The association owns 81 acres
Three of the main buildings and the
grand stand are already completed
The horse stalls and sheds for cattle
and other stock are all laid out.
Manager George Simpson, who is
taking personal supervision of the ar
rangement of the grounds, promises
that everything will be in readiness
for the fair the first of October.
In the southwest corner of the
grounds is a small grove of alder will.
lows and other trees. Mr.. Simpson is
having it cleared of all underbrush
and will put picnic tables and benches
there for those who bring their lunch.
es. City water will be piped to the
grove and to all other parts of the
grounds. The center of the race track
will be the auto and team park.
The grounds are located on level
field just south of the Wakefield hotel

distance from the N. P. depot at Elma
and the O.-W. and Milwaukee depot at

HARD SURFACE M STREET
City Council Sends Committee
to Meet With Board of
Equalization

The city council Wednesday night
referred the matter of hard surfacine
M street from the north side of Fourt,
street to Heron street to the streets
and ways and means committees on
motion of Councilman E. A. Morck
after a long debate on whether jeff
erson street should be paved or action
should be taken on paving M street
and Market street between M and jeff.
erson.
The debate grew out of the asser
tion of Mr.. Morck that good stree,
leading to Hoquiam should be provic
ed at once. The agitation for such
street is growing rapidly in many
quarters.
In an oral report DR.. L. L. Good
now recommended an amendment to
the ordinance on buildings be made
providing every building within the
city have a basement, or a fill under
the floors. This was the result OF
an inspection of certain buildings on
Heron street between and G streets
which were found to be in an unsani
tary condition. The matter was re-
ferred to the health committee.
An ordinance regulating the size ot
corrugated iron buildings within the
fire limits to structures 9 feet high
with IA by 16-inch floor space, was
passed.
A protest against the class of man.
hole work done by certain contract
ors led to the appointment of an on.
gineer's committee composed .: three
councilmen who will supervise the
work of the city engineer.
From Hoquiam came an invitation
to the council to attend the lecture
given on sanitary conditions August
in that city by Caroline Bartlett Crane.
The council accepted with pleasure.
The street car service between Co.'S
mopolis and this city was the sub
ject of live discussion and was finally
referred to the mayor to take up
with the railway company. Council
man Myles wanted the city attorney. to
take the matter up directly with the
public service commission
Councilmen Empey, Morck and
Myles were appointed committee to
meet with the county board of equal.

WHO OWNS THE
GRAVEL BEDS !
Farmer on Chehalis River
Stops County From Taking
Gravel From River Bed

MONTESANO, July 81. - John
Balch, of near Oakville, has ordered
the county to stop taking gravel
from the Chehalis river bank for use
on the Garrard creek road, and there
by an interesting case in law may
result.
The gravel was being taken from
a gravel bed which is ordinarily, it Is
said, under water, that adjoins the
county road. Balch's claim includes
the land in certain boundaries with
the river meander line and such &C.
cretions as may be between the mean
der line and ordinary high water of
the river as one boundary.
What is ordinary high water line
on the Chehalis river?" is the ques-
tion Deputy Prosecutor A. E. Cross
is wrestling with now. Also Engi.
neer Shorey is wrestling with it..
They can't find any law dictionary
that describes what ordinary high wa
ter line is on a fresh water steam
and it would be a little slow to wait
for several years. measurements to
discover just where that line should
be located at that particular spot.
1t is possible to get the gravel
from the place in question on the
bar at such localities that are so
close to the extreme low water mark
that the officials claim there is no
question about the state rights to the
land or gravel. Hence to settle the
immediate difficulties permission will
be secured from the state and Mr..
Balch will be notified not to inter
fere with the road mems work.

MEETS DEATH
IN THE WOODS
Fred Strom, a Logger, Is
Caught by Falling Log
and Fatally Injured

Fred Strom, bucker employed in
Cameron & Hoover's camp on the
east branch of the Humptulips river,
was caught under falling log late
Wednesday afternoon and his right
leg was torn completely off above
the knee. The injured man was plac-
ed in an auto and an effort made to
get him to the hospital at Hoquiam,
but death resulted from loss of blood
while the party was still several
miles out of the city.
Strom, 1t appears, had made a cut
on the tree, when in some way the
log rolled over and fell upon his leg.
The accident was witnessed by other
men working nearby and the injured
man was dragged from under the log
quickly and help sent for without de-
lay. The heavy log had crushed the
mans leg clear through. The camp
is about II miles above Humptulips
City and the trip is a hard one.
Little is known of the victim OF
the accident. His body was brought
to the Hoquiam undertaking estab-
lishment.
He had been working for Cameron
& Hoover only few weeks. He was
Finn, % years of age. The only
known relatives in this vicinity are
two brothers working in the Bor-
deaux camps near Olympia. They
were notified by telegraph.
