be taken before the present legisla-
ture.
The Hoquiam association purposes
to ask Senator Harry B. Hewitt and
Representative Robert Craig to work

son for upland birds of one month,
making the season from Sept. to

lating to the game laws be sent to
the local organization for investiga-
ton. The association also wants the

Cash FOR WOOD

The wood dealers of Aberdeen
have adopted rule that will call for
cash payment for all wood delivered
in single load orders. Orders of five
or. more loads from responsible par
ties may still be paid on the first
of the month following purchase. The
dealers were forced to the adoption
OF this rule, not only by reason OF

that the divorce granted to Mrs. Cora
Kelley be set aside and her marriage to
Lieut.. Col. Benjamin p. Cheever, retired,
be annulled.
He also asks that his former wife be
compelled to repay him S4o66 paid to her
as alimony and otherwise.
Mr.. Kelleys petition is an answer to

cause of false statements of his wife to

In relating some weeks ago the incl

at the hands of Mr.. Wilson, said Mr..
Campbell at that time, until there came

When Mr. Campbell reached Wash

derwood expressed himself as glad that
Mr.. Campbell had decided to accept the
position il it could be acquired. He then
wrote a short note to the Attorney Cen
eral and Mr.. Campbell agreed to deliver
it.
1t was impossible for Mr.. Campbell to
see the Attorney General the first day.
On the following day. however, he was
received out of his turn. Mr.. McRey-
nolds was very cordial and declared that
he had heard of Mr.. Campbell through
Oscar" thus indicating the close friend
ship which exists between him and the
democratic leader.
The first serious question that the At
torney General propounded was whether
or not Mr. Campbell really desired the
office which carried a salary less than
his annual income as a practitioner of the
law. Mr.. Campbell replied that he did,
and gave his reasons.
But" rejoined the Attorney General,
''do YOU know all about the court that
