The express companies vigorously

on June s, 1912. The rates were
suspended, pending further investiga-

to go into effect, The companies
originally alleged that the rates would
reduce their revenues thirty per cent.
Later they said the loss would be
1888 per cent. Despite this objection
the commission today ordered the two

OLYMPIA, Aug. 18.-Gov. Lister

Crays Harbor Mill Causes
Six Weeks Shut Down

HOQUIAM, Aug. 1S.-The Grays
Harbor Lumber company closed its
mill Saturday night and will not re-
sumo operations until the last of mex.
month. Something over $4,000, ,OOO
feet of lumber is in stock now and
to meet orders it will not be neces.
sary to cut more at once. The shut.
down is to permit making extensive
repairs and in completing the installa
tion of the new Curtis turbine and
change in edger saws.
The new turbine already is about
set and will be ready for use when
the mill starts again. It is a 500
kilowatt steam turbine, generating
833 horsepower, and will greatly re.
lieve the boilers in use at present.
The new edger is IA by 72, the
saws on this machine being 6 gauge
38 inches. These are the largest
edger saws ever used thus far. They
are furnished by the Simonds Manu-.
featuring company. The Stimson
mill at Seattle has the same saws
but two inches smaller.
The shutdown at this time of the
year was deemed more convenient for
repair work than the latter part of
the year, when the short days would
hinder the extensive changes.

TACOMA, Aug. 18.-Differences Of
the Quiniault reservation Indians were
aired Saturday, before William Ryan,
a former Tacoman, and one of the

Interior Lanes department. Leading
Indians appeared from the reservation

by the secretary, as did H. H. John
son, superintendent of the Indian res
ervation in Western Washington.
The Indians complained that they
wanted permission to sell their lands
through some other agent than the

make an investigation. Thomas G.
Bishop of Old Tacoma led the Indians
in the conference, as advisor.

to take care of your lands and not
let someone cheat you" asked Mr..
Lane.
Most of us are competent" saio
Steve. "Of course, there are some old
men who couldn't take care Of them
selves. But the Tulalips have been
self-supporters and have the patents
to their lands for many years."
''How would it be if sent out two
men to investigate the individuals in
the tribe and decide on their compe.
tency?" asked the secretary.
The Indians replied that they would
be we'll satisfied.

COODBEARSTORY
FROM H0QUlAM
Big Bear Is Reported to Have
Ran Race With Auto on
Poison Road

The wise editor always shudders al
what purports to be good story Of
fishing or bear hunt. He recognizes
the unexplainable fact that the most
truthful citizen, in the ordinary walks
of life, becomes excited with a big
catch of fish or an adventure with
a bear to the extent that, for a few
days at least, he is apt to be in q
state of unconscious exaggeration
But, once and while they are true
and are really good stories.
With this preface, the Herald prints
the following, from the Hoquiam
Washingtonian of Sunday, in full con
fidence that if it was not based upon
facts it would never have "got by
the astute editor of our esteemed con
temporary:
While going about twenty-five
miles an hour Thursday night in an
automobile, party composed of Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Klein, Miss Clara
Benson, and Mike Lawless, met a
bear weighing according to the eye
witnesses about 700 pounds, along
the old railroad grade which con
meets this city with the Poison log
ging camps.
The bear, huge one, was terri
fled by the lights of the auto as it
came around curve in the road
and reared up on its launches then
turned around, and ran ahead on
the road. Mr.. Bear ran for about
a half mile but the pace was toe
severe and when the railroad grade
was struck, he rolled off the grade
into the underbrush.
Those in the auto were having the
time of their lives, except Miss Ben.
son, who when she heard the bear
"woofwoof," started things by scream
ing.
The vicinity in which the bear
was seen is about IA miles out from
town, and is about the same spot at
which Allen Kellogg, a local bear
hunter had one of his dogs consider
ably torn up about a week ago. A
few of the local hunters are now lay.
ing plans to get the big fellow.
