Fifty-four bushels of No. Montana
wheat is the sum total of The Record
EDITORS farming operations this year.
This was long range farming, the edi-
tor not having been within gun shot
Of the farmstead during the entire
year except once when the grain was
already in shock. We disclaim. any
credit for increasing the worlds visi-
BILE supply of wheat by 54 bushels.
The whole credit must be given to
r. H. Parker, who put in the crop
on shares, and Musselshell county's
unequalled soil which is bound to
raise a crop II the seed is placed
therein. For his share Mr.. Parker
received 108 bushels, two-third's Of the
crop. A pretty problem was present
ed to us during the growing season
when reports reached us that there
would only be two-third's crop, some
hard headed cynic intimating that 1t
was our third that had failed to ma
terialize. As it is we pulled down
$34.94, the bulk of which we propose
to blow in for Thanksgiving dinner
and we're going to be truly thankful,
too.

NOTED AVIATOR WILL FLY
AT FESTIVAL At HOQUiAM

HOQUIAM, March 14.-Silas Chris
jefferson, the noted Pacific Coast av-
iator, will fly during the three days
of the Grays Harbor Water Festival
at Hoquiam July 3-5. Contracts for
the engagement having already been
signed up
This announcement was made yes
terday by Frank J. Moore, chairman
of the Elks' Fourth of July celebra-
ton committee, who is directing prep
arations for the big festival in which
the Elks' have been joined by the
Commercial Club and have received
the moral support of the Aberdeen
Chamber of Commerce. There still
remains guarantee fund to be raised,
and this is being done by notes among
the members of the club. The bring
ing of Christofferson to Hoquiam is
big undertaking and big guaran-
tee must be made in order to get him.
Christofferson will be the first av-
iator to give exhibition flights on
Grays Harbor and in addi' n to this
will be the fact that + iii use
hydro-aeroplane, aligbs-lg on rise
from the water. Though great
many Grays Harbor people have at
tended aviation meets, comparatively
few of them have seen hydro-aero-
plane flying Christofferson agrees
to make five flights each day of the
three of the meet.

INSURGENTS BLOCK PRO.
GRESS IN HOUSE

OLYMPIA, March 12-Notwith-
standing the fact that the house
leaders kept their promise to put on
the calendar today the fiscal COM
mission, presidential preference pri-
mary and Oregon plan election of
United States senators bills, the bull
moose enveloped this mornings ses-
sion in Oratory and defamation, and
only five bills We're acted upon. E.
A. Sims of Jecerson jumped to his
feet near the end of the session and
protested at what he termed the
wind jamming' of E. X. Brown, of
Ellensburg and Dix H. Rowland of
Tacoma.
The next to the last day of the
session began amidst storms. Victor
Zednich of Seattle introduced a res
olution to keep persons other than
members, employees and representa-
tives of the press off the floor to-
morrow night. The house, after a
strenuous debate, adopted the reso-
luton, thereby doing away with the
precedent of years when third
house" sessions have wed with the
regular ones on closing nights.
After their songfest of last night,
in which they serenaded the house
leaders until they were sure that
bills wanted by them would be placed
on the calendar today, the bull moose
held a caucus this morning. They
decided to go down the line fighting
in the same old oratorical style.
Sims entrance on the field of bat
tie was startling and unexpected. He
declared the senate was taking up
house bills reluctantly, because the
house had dallied and reached no
senate bills.

EASTERN HOUSE.
WINS VERDICT
Local Men Can't Recover
Money Loaned to
Bankrupt

By a decision handed down by
Judge E. E. Cushman, of the United
States court at Tacoma Saturday, the
Title Guaranty & Surety company, of
Scranton, Pa, was given a verdict in
the case of William butcher, bank
rupt. This means that Aberdeen
men who loaned butcher money to
carry on the work with the under
standing that they We're to receive
city bonds in payment have lost out.
After butcher failed in his con-
tract, which included the improve
ment of portions of East First and
Spur streets, he went into bankruptcy
and turned over ali OF his property TO
his boudsmen which is the guaranty
company.
There was work to be finished III
volving the expenditure OF between
$4,000 and $4,000, which the bond
ing company completed. The COM
pany then brought suit to recover
bonds to the amount of the work up
on which several Aberdeen parties
had loaned money, with the experta-
ton of getting the bonds when issu-
ed. There were about $4,000 in mon
ey which butcher had borrowed. This
these creditors will lose.
The property turned over to the
bonding company by butcher outside
of the bonds, which was afterWaro
sold, realized something like $4,000.
This money came from the sale of
the grading and general street con-
tracing outfit. This money may be
divided among the creditors, prOvid-
ed the bonding company, to which 1t
was turned over, does not make prior
claim. The bonding company, it is
stated, will be the loser several thou
sand dollars above the bonds it will
get from the city and may bring fur
ther action to recover on the money
in the hands of the court. This will,
of course, involve another legal con
test. Should the bonding company
win in this contention, the creditors
will receive nothing. There are about
five principal creditors who will lose
between 81, 800 and 81 1000 each. Boner
& Boner are the attorneys for the
creditors and Frank Beam the local
representatives for the bonding com
pany.

PLANS MADE TO ORGANIZE
COUNTY COMMERCIAL CLUB

HOQUIAM, March 13.-Steps to-
ward securing a county organization
of representatives of the various COM
mercial organizations were set on foot
yesterday when the HOquiam Com
mercial club adopted a resolution to
appoint a committee of three to work
with similar committees from other
clubs to formulate plan. This ac-
ton was taken after l.. H. Brewer had
presented the outline of plan he had
in mind for some time.
In brief, Mr.. Brewer stated his idea
was for a committee with one or two
delegates from each organization. The
purpose of the committee would be to
take up matters relative to the whole
county and referred to it by the vari-
Gus clubs. He stated he hoped to see
every county of the Southwest SIM
ilarly organized before the end of the
year. President w. c. Mumaw of the
Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce eX-
pressed his personal approval of the
project.
Plans for the Grays Harbor Water
Festival, to be held at Hoquiam this
year, were explained by President L.
J. Mourant and Mr.. Brewer was in
structed to draft a resolution thank
ing Aberdeen for joining with this
city in the celebration plans, placing
Hoquiam on record to support Abb
erdeen next year at the second an
nual festival, and asking the Chamb-
er of Commerce to appoint a commit
tee on the parade.
Reports We're made by Jesse Lewis
of the committee appointed to take
up the Panama canal tolls question
with ]. N. Teal of Portland, and by
C. c. Pinnick, chairman of the spec
ial committee on purchase of the cem-
etery by the city. Mayor Chris Knoell
stated the commission was negotiat-
ing for adjoining land.
H. B. Dewey, former safe suner-
intendent of public instruction, .as
the guest of the club and made a short
address, when called upon by Presi.
dent Mourant.

stated work was to be begun this
week, as there is none too much time
left in which to have the structure

MAN ACCUSED OF ARSON
FREED BY JURY

MONTESANO, March 14-In not to
exceed three minutes the jury in the
Satsop arson case decided that c. S.
Morrow was not guilty.
The case went to the jury shortly
after o'clock and court was ad-
journed a few moments later. In
about five minutes the jury came fill
ing back into the almost deserted
court room The defendant, most of
his witnesses and his attorney had
gone down town His wife, sister and
three little children were still in the
room. Assistant Prosecutor Cross,
who a few minutes before had fin
ished a mastery summing up of the
states evidence, also had gone.
The bailiff hurried down town af-
ter the defendant and his attorney
and the jury sat in the box await
ing his return. When the defendant
had returned and the verdict was
read the first people on their feet
were his sister and wife, to rush
over and shake the hands of the
jurors The defendant himself was
slower and managed to thank only
a few of the last jurors who left the
box.
The testimony in the case required
over five full days and the argu-
ments of the attorneys, which began
at 10 this morning, were not finished
until this afternoon. The verdict
in such short time was a surprise.
Before leaving the court room
Attorney Allen asked and secured
from the judge the privilege of with
drawing from the exhibits the defend.
ants insurance policy of $4,000.
