OOINCS OF The
COUNTY DADS
Have Under Consideration the
Expert Appraisal Of All
the Lumber Mills
WOULD SAVE LITIGATION
Satsop River on Rampage.
Westport Incorporation.
May Reduce Interest

MONTESANO, Oct. 21.-The county
commissioners took recess yester-
day afternoon to visit the Satsop val.
ley, where the river is working havoc
with some fine farms, and by leaving
its channel leave the county bridge
standing over a dry gulch. The riv-
er has started to cut a new course
from the James Gleeson, Sr., place to
near the mouth, a movement which if
not checked would entail damages OF
many thousands of dollars. Commits
cioners Locke and Wilson, Fishel be-
ing i'll, decided to eXcavate a cut about
300 feet long near the Gleeson place,
which may ease the trouble for this
winter, but what is really needed is
the establishment of a dyke district,
which would care for the banks along
the entire stream.
Westport Incorporation
About fifteen citizens of Westport
were here to present the petition for
the incorporation of thaat town. They
had census of the town taken which
shows population of 33S, and petit
tion which contained the names of a
big majority of the voters. Hearing
on the matter was set at the next
meeting, November 8.
Appraisal of Lumber Mills
Manager Pollet, of an Appraisals
company was before the board, at the
request of Assessor Wiley, to give an
estimate of the cost of making an ap.
praisal of the mill properties of the
county, concerning the values of which
much litigation is promised. and which
it is believed an appraisal would avert.
Mr.. Pollet said his company had al
ready had the appraisals of rs of the
40 lumber mills of the county, and
that those would be given and the
others made for about $4,000. He will
submit figures later on the various
classes of estimates.
May Reduce Interest
The commissioners consulted with
the auditor and treasurer yesterday
about reducing the interest on county
warrants from eight to six per cent.
The officials feel that for the county
to pay the bank rate of interest in it's
warrants is unwarranted ,and the fact
that Aberdeen warrants draw but six
per cent was cited. No definite ac-
tion was taken.

ELkS RAISE FLAG

HOQUIAM, Oct. 2O-One thousand
citizens of Hoquiam yesterday after
noon witnessed the ceremonies con-
nected with fag-raising conducted
by the Hoquiam lodge of Elks. The
flag was one which formerly foated
over the capitol building at Wash
ington, D. c., and was presented to
the Hoquiam Elks by Congressman
Albert Johnson. The 100-foot pole
set in the public library grounds op-
posite the Elks building was furnish
ed, dressed and erected by foreign
born American citizens. Addresses
were made by Frank H. Lamb and
Rev. J. w. Beard.

ANOTHER TAX
SUIT STARTED
William 7. Cameron Seeks Re-
duction Of $l27.8l on Ia
Section of Timber
MANY SUITS AREPLANNED
Weyerhaueser Timber Co.
Suspected Of Being Behind
Timber Cases Brought

MONTESANO, Oct. 2O-Suit was
filed in the superior court last week
by Hogan & Graham, of Aberdeen,
for William T. Cameron, president
of the Aberdeen Timber Co. for a
reduction of taxes on timber.
Mr.. Cameron's complaint is of the
taxes or a quarter section of timber
which, according to the county cruise
has over 20,000,OOO feet of timber
and which he alleges has only 49,
100000. His contention was taken
before the equalization board a year
ago and he says it was agreed the
land should be recruised. That was
not done. The last equalization board
he says, would give him no relief or
proper hearing. He asks for a reduc-
tion of taxes amounting to $127.S1
on a total of $553O1, or in event the
court does not see fit to make the re-
duction without testimony asks for
restraining order to prevent the
collection of taxes until the case is
heard.
The filing of this suit, in which
but $127.S1 is involved adds color to
the impression that has prevailed
about the court house since the first
suit was brought for reduction of
taxes by the Simpson Logging Co.
This impression is that the parties
to the suits already brought and
those to come are but stalking horses
for the Weyerhaueser Timber COM
pany, and that this company is financ
ing an assault on the timber cruise
of the county in this way.
1t is reasoned here, that in with
holding of large part of it's taxes
the Weyerhaueser company, upon
which the penalty and interest is now
$27 a day, has no intention to play
father bountiful to Chehalis county,
but expects to get it's money back
with a possible Increment" The
plan, as doped out here, is to have
quite a number of suits brought in
the hope some of them will win out
and so pave the way for the big COM
pany to come in and allege that they
have paid all they are legally required
to pay, and the plan may win, unless
the county takes steps to have the
suits much better contested than was
that of the Simpson Co.

Continued from Yesterday,


On the verge of this waste, which
civilization had builded and shaped
with its discarded odds and ends,
were the meagre beginnings of
poor suburb. Here an enterprising
landlord had erected a solitary row
of slab-sided dwellings of uniform
uglness and had given to each
single coat of yellow paint of such
exceeding thinness, that it was pos
sible to determine by the whittier
daubs of putty showing through, just
where every nail had been driven.
Only the very poorest of the most
shiftless of Mount Hopes population

1t was but natural that Joe should

meaning to his mind. He had never
heard of germs, and he had as little
prejudice concerning stagnsnt water
as he had prediction for clear
water. He knew in a general way
that all water was wet, but further
than this he gave the element no
thought.
Thus 1t came about that his was

these miniature lakes as highly un-
desirable the young Montgomerys

efficiency engineers are striving to
accomplish.
| Efficiency egineering being a new
science. or an old science applied in
new way, is, of course, viewed by
| the majority of workingmen with sus-
| picion, but it simply means an ef-
! ficient systematic plan of production.
1t begins with the manager and in

and to be successfully applied it re-
quires intelligence and common sense.
The manager must necessarily under
stand the fundamental principles and
be capable of selecting intelligent men
to conduct the various departments of

PoLITlcs MUTT IN FAcE or HOOD HORROR

| at this time. because of the Ohm
flood, of the disastrous drowning Of
the lower Mississippi country last
year. there is equally general agree.
ment that. high water will prevail in
the valley of the bigger river as tbs
| flood waters reach the fiat country.
AS soon as the work of caring fo,
the dead and living is well in hand
it is probable that the President will
turn his attention to conferences with
the engineering staffs and leaders in
Congress, with a view to planning a
government program of conservation
which will serve TO at least start the
work of insuring the valleys against
at least ordinary floods. The frequent
floods along the Ohio river. with
great damage each year. can be pre-
vented. 1t is only a question of spend
ing money in public works to make
the cities safe
Heretofore the conservation pro-
gram has been neglected, partly be.
cause 1t has not been understood and
partly because of the desire of con.
gressmen to win reelection by hold
ing down expenses of government 1t

even Congress, may come to realize
that economy does not consist merely
In not spending money.

Senator Newlands, of Colorado. the
father of the reclamation act, and one
OF the few Democrats who has for
years been an ardent advocate of con-
servation policies on a broad scale.
will urge in the special session OF
Congress the beginning of big ma
tional program of flood prevention by
the protection of the headwaters of
all rivers subject to overflow, begin
ming with the Ohio and Mississippi.
Mr.. Newlands is among those who
has for years opposed the wastef1l
methods of big appropriations for
local waterway and harbor improve
ments and urged. instead, that com.
pleted projects for waterway develop
ment be carried out, without regard
to local politics or pork barrel
methods. AS a start, the Colorado
man would have an appropriation or
half a billion dollars for beginning
the work of storing the headwaters
of rivers subject to overflow and
flood
Another immediate effect of the
Ohio flood will be the installation by
the government of wireless telegraph
stations of high power in populous
centres throughout the country, so
as to make impossible. hereafter the
suspension of communication that re-
suits when the wires are down be.

Enough wireless stations will be
asked for from Congress to cover the
entire country and make certain that
every part of it can be kept con-
stantly in communication with Wash
