BUY LAND FOR
SWISS FARMERS
St. Paul Men Buy 10000 Acres
of Land in Chehalis and
Thurston Counties
Swiss Colonists Will Operate
Cheese Factories on a
Large Scale

Ten thousand acres of logged-otf
land tributary to Grays Harbor and
lying in Thurston and Chehalis coun-
ties, probably will be magnet which
will draw hundreds of Eastern Swiss
dairy farmers to Washington to in
stitute cheese manufacturing and en-
courage the dairy industry in this
state.
The purchase of this vast area of
farm land to be used exclusively for
dairying was announced at Tacoma
last week by Hugh T. and Clarence
w. Halbert, wealthy residents of St.
Paul, MINI. The purchase was made
several months ago, but publicity Of
the sale was suppressed by the buy.
ers until experienced Swiss dairymen,
personal representatives of Swiss col.
onies of several Eastern states, could
look over the situall. thoroughly.
This has been done, and the Hal
bert brothers, accompanied by A. Kaf-
len, Swiss consular for Minnesota,
North and South Dakotas and Monta-
ma; G. Andrist, said to be one Of
the largest cheese manufacturers in
the United States. and Fred Aufenast
a successful dairyman and cheese
manufacturer Of st. Paul, accompan
led by John P. Hartman of Seattle,
and a party Of friends, made an inves-
tigation of the land. The Swiss rep
resentatives refused to be interview
ed, but according to the Halbert
brothers and Mr.. Hartman, there is
DO doubt but what the Washington

occasion q favorable report to the
interest they represent.
1.-THE coming to this state Of hun.
dreds Of Swiss dairy farmers, con-
ceded to be the most successful in
the world, will establish an industry
here that has been sadly neglected"
said Clarence Halbert. Everything
rests with the report to the Swiss
colonists Of the four Eastern states
mentioned by the representatives. l

encouraging.

er sections, then an idea may be
cleaned of the mightiness of this pro-
posed project. It has been admitted
numerous times by prominent horti-
culturists that as a dairying state,
Washington would not have to take
second place to any if the industry
was established.

ana the disgraceful conditions al

This was the declaration made Fri

Of the charges of incompetency and
general unfitness against the war
den.
Il don't know that the Attorney
General was quoted correctly in the

Howard, nor. if he was, am I certain
that his remarks were to be construed
as meaning that he was going to drop
the Atlanta penitentiary scandal al
together without any show of an in

Howard Determined.
However, his intentions are really
q matter of indifference to me, for
there is going to be an investigation
of the prison and the conditions there
and it's going to be a thorough one
if my efforts count for anything.

IF this probe is abandoned, I shall
be surprised, but it will not interfere
in the least with my plans for an
Investigation. | shall return to Wash

fore Congress my reasons f0r an in

'I do mot wish to appear in the role
of a judge before any formal inves-
tgation is made, but l am in posses

for me to seek to have the light OF
publicity thrown on affairs out there.
From personal observation, ! am
convinced that the prisoners have

may be handcuffed to the bars, in

FAST TRAIN
SENT INTO
SWITCH
E:NG|NE:
Two Employees Injured and Pas
sengers Badly Shaken in Crash
at HazIehurst, Ga.

Detectives have been sent out
from Atlanta to investigate what
is believed to have been an at
tempt at wholesale slaughter IN
the wreck of the palatial Royal
Palm" the new limited South
ern Railway train No. 2, which
plunged through an open switch
at Hazelhurst, Ga, into a switch
engine shortly after 4 o'clock
Friday morning. .
Engineer Fred M. Hair, of No.
2, whose home is in Macon,
jumped from his engine, barely
saving his life. His leg was
broken. c. A. Presley, also of
Macon, who was in charge of the
switch engine, lost one finger and
suffered scalp wounds. Scores of
sleepin gpasseugers on the Linn
tied train were aroused and some
Of them badly shaken up.
Investigation of the accident by
Conductor Strickland Of No. showed
that the switch had been thrown to
open the siding, the rod disconnected
and the switch light turned to show
an open track for the main line.
A short piece Of iron pipe, found
nearby, is believed to have been used
in breaking the switch
Had it not been that the Royal
Palm was brought down to rate of
but 10 miles per hour in passing
through Hazelhurst, there is but lit
tie doubt that many persons would
have lost their lives.
Officials Of the Southern in Atlanta
declared that they would make
searching estigation OF the wreck
