Delegations of manufacturers and
representatives of workingmen's or
CARNATIONS have appeared in large
numbers, seeking to save their re-.
spective occupations from being
turned over, through the medium of
Wilson'S free-trade plan, to the COM
petition of cheap European prices.
Their numbers were augmented by
many representatives of the farm
ers, protesting against the removal
of practically tn e entire duty on the
products of the farms. Although
President Wilson has all along as
sumed czarlike attitude in push
ing and pounding free trade through
congress using his official patron
age and other bulldozing methods
to whip into line those democrats
who hesitated to injure the indus
trial interests Of the people of their
respective districts-yet, when he
found that the truthful representa-
tons Of the so-called lobbyists were
having an influence upon certain
democratic senators, especially those
from the wool and sugar sections, he
grew hystercical and denounced
"the lobby" that was only trying to
present their side of the question as
against the free.trade claims of Will
sen. Bryan and the other tariff
smashers. Talk about your bosses
President Wilson is certainly the
limit. 1t has generally been sup
posed that mcrican citizens have
the right of petition-that it was
neither criminal nor immoral for
them to appear in Washington and
present their side of any question to
their rep1 esentatives in the congress.
However, Emperor Woodrow is
changing all that, and manufact-
urers. farmers and workingmcn who
do not wish to be denounced by the
president should keep out of Wash
ington. And the worst of it all is
that the tariff is being smashed by a
minority. as the protectionist votes
for Taft and Roosevelt were nearly
a million and a quarter more than
the free.trade votes for Wilson.

cable broke loose and the car started
down, making a terrific noise as it
fell. 1t made two distinct stops on
its way down. but the safety clutch

Johnson was taken from the car he
was unconscious and was bleeding

at the hospital it was thought that
his jaw might be broken. and he al
so sustained severe fractures in the

PIONEER PAPER OF THE COUNTY

The following radical measure re-
garding the contracting of marriage

ate Bill No. 45) of the Session Laws
of 1913. introduced by MIR. diversion.

1t is claimed by those who are
seeking to apply the science of eugen-
les that it is time that the Ameri-
can people should pay at least as
much attention to the breeding of an
improved class of human beings as
they pay to the physical betterment
of their horses, cattle and hogs, and
that child has right TO be born
healthy and with uncontaminated
blood, and not be subjected to pos
sible lifelong pain and unhappiness
through the heedlessess or sins of it's
parents.

NARROWLY ESCAPE DEATH
Party Of Prominent Olympia People
Have Close Call When. Auto
Turns Turtle Saturday

J. H. Brown, secretary of the state
public service commission, and one of
the best known newspaper men in the
state, r. A. Brown. editor of the State
Capital Record of Olympia, and Miss
Yantis. also of the Capital Record, all
of Olympia. and Charles Cooper pro-
prietor of the Pacific Beach hotel,
were saved from death or serious in
jury Saturday afternoon by the merest
chance when their auto turned turtle
while travelling at high speed along
the county road west of Hoquiam.
All four were pinned under the car,
but none of them was injured. Peter
Granstrom, who arrived on the scene
in his car few minutes after the ac-
cident, rescued the trapped autoists
The party was on the way to the
beach for the weekend, making the
trip in COoper's car. The car became
unmanageable when near the side of
the road and turned over in the ditch
landing upside down. The fact that
the top was up and the car light
one saved the occupants.

FIRE IN NATIONAL MILL
Big Plant of the National Lumber &
Box Company Narrowly Escapes
Serious Loss BY Fire

HOQUIAM, Sept. 30.-The National
mill narrowly escaped destruction
by fire last evening about 5 O'Clock
when fire broke out on the main floor
about the center of the main mill.
That the mammoth plant was not
destroyed is due to the fact a line OF
hose had been laid through that part
of the mill for sprinkling purposes
and to prompt and good work on the
part of the mill force, which had
four streams going and the fire prac-
tically out by the time the city's de-
partment arrived, although the motor
apparatus made record time on its
run. The sprinkler system is en-
titled to considerable credit, also. as
two heads were over the spot where
the fire started, and they worked
WELL
The flames spread rapidly and were
breaking through the main floor be-
fore the men obtained control. The
cause of the fire is supposed to have
been a hot box near the main shaft.
The loss was not known last night.
but was confined principally to belt
ing. Millwrights worked all night
making repairs /, 4 expected to have
everything in readiness for uninter-
rupted operation this morning.

ALL0TMENTS
ARE STOPPED
Agent Archer is Ordered to
Cease All Work Of Allot-
ting Indian Lands

F. r. Archer, who has for several
years been allotting agent for the
Indian lands on the Quiniault reserva.
tion, has been placed on an indefinite
furlough by the Commissioner of In.
dian affairs, and is at Taholah where
he turned over property and records
of his office yesterday to Superintend.
ent H. H. Johnson, of the Cushman
school, and all further allottments are
discontinued indefinitely
The precise motive behind this ord
er is not KNOWN although it is known
that certain interests, with an eye on
the timber in the reserve have long
labored to have the individual allot.
ments of this land postponed until
after the timber was sold, and that
several previous endeavors along
that line have been made without
success. The season advanced in some
quarters, that the presence of petro.
leum on those lands is the cause, is
too absurd for. serious consideration
If oil is found in paying quantities,
there could be no valid objection to
the Indians reaping the benefits, and
the Indian commissioner could look
after their interests, as he would do
in any event.
There are yet about $50 Quiniault
Indians to receive allotments, and
some 1900 or 1900 Indians of other
tribes entitled TO this land, and it
is difficult to assign a plausible re&-
son for depriving them of it, just as
that region is on the eve of develop
ment. The pIDcy of the Indian Office
which is presumed to care for the
wards of the nation, as here indicated,
would withhold the lands from them
until they pass to the happy hunting
grounds.

STATE TAKES
CUT BY WILEY
Increased Valuations Result
in More Money From Pub
lie Service Utilities

BY reason of the increased assess
ment in personal property, Assessor
Robert A. Wiley, by his excellent
work, has lowered the state levy
nearly one per cent. as compared
with the levy of last year. The in
crease also gives Chehalis county
$87,87O additional for taxation pur.
poses from the public service corpor.
ations, such as railroads, electric
lines and Western Union Telegraph
Co.
The ratio of Chehalis County for
1912 was 1926 and the ratio this year
is 4023 per cent, an increase of 81
per cent, which means lower levy
The total increase in personal prop.
erty in the state for 1913 was $4,.
4O1,O29, of which amount Chehalis
county contributed about 25 per cent
or approximately s1,166.0OO.
BY reason of this increase, al
though the state tax commission re-
duced the railroads throughout the
state more than 100000, Chehalis
county, by it's showing, received an
increase of $S7,87O over last year
The taxes on this will pay the salary
roll of the assessors Office for the
entire year and takes very little more
from the general increase to pay its
running expenses. This proves that
as long as the valuation of Chehalis
county was kept down, the public
service corporations got out of pay.

this county, and this point alone is
one in which every taxpayer in Che.
halls county is vitally interested. If
an increase of approximately $1,000.
900 increased our public service valu-
ations $S7,870, when a general de.
crease was made in the state, prop.
er valuation on all property. would
increase the valuation nearly $1,000.-
900 under the 40 per cent plan, which
would mean at least $25,000 annually
more in taxes to the county.

THE FOOTBALL
SEASON OPENS
Three Chehalis County High
School Teams Open Sea-
son on Saturday
HIGH DEFEATS ALUMNI
Hoquiam Team Ties Tacoma
High, While Cosmopolis
Wallops Montesano

In a game Saturday afternoon at
Electric park, the Aberdeen high
school football team defeated the
team from the alumni of that school
by score of 26 to 0. Although
greatly Outweighed, the school team
was in better condition, and in spite
of good work by some of the alumni
the younger players were able to
walk away from their opponents af.
, ter the first quarter.
From the showing made yesterday
the Aberdeen high school team may
be expected to do some excellent
work this season, for they displayed
coolness, fast work and endurance
to good degree. Coach Hawley has
gotten together a team that averages
about 1856 pounds, plays hard and is
aggressive. Among those who starred
for the alumni were Judge Phillips
Warren Egerer, "Scovey" White and
Steele, former Aberdeen high schoo
stars.
Hoquiam Ties Tacoma.
Really playing against two teams
because of the number of substitutes
used by their opponents, and with a
further handicap of nine pounds in
weight to the man, the Hoquiam high
school football team opened the sea
son auspiciously and held the Taco
ma veterans down to a to score
in game on the stadium field at
that city Saturday. The average
weight of the Tacoma team was 153
and of the Hoquiamites 144 pounds
About the only thrillers were three
great runs by Melbourne Levi of Ho
Quiam in the third and fourth quar-
ters, each for so yards, with the last
one down on the 2-yard line. But
he was called back each time by the
head lineman for alleged holding.
The game was , hard fought ono
from start to finish. Neither side
was able to gain ground in the first
quarter, but Hoquiam outplayed the
home team in the second quarter, ant
there was a slight advantage in ia
vor of Hoquiam in the third ant
fourth quarters.
Cosmopolis Defeats Montesano
The Cosmopolis high school foot
ball team defeated the Montesant
high team in a good game at Monte
sano Saturday by a score of 13 tt
10. Duffy of Cosmopolis. was knock
ed insensible in the first half of thu
game, but recovered before the game
was finished. Cosmopolis made two
touchdowns and one goal kick. Mon
tesanO made one touchdown, a goa
kick and a field goal.
