MAY SECURE COLLEGE
A Well Established University Would
Come to Grays Harbor II Proper
Effort 10 Made

w. c. Mumaw. president of the
Chamber of Commerce. at the lun-
cheon Of the Hoquiam Commercial
club Wednesday, announced that he
was in communication with a we'll
established university, which believ-
ed Grays Harbor presented a good
field for. and which could be secured
for this section il desire to have
it is substantially expressed.
In order to secure the college it
probably will be necessary to raise
an endowment fund Of approximately
100000 and to provide a suitable
site for the buildings and school
grounds. Many Harbor business men
consider these conditions can be met.
The school authorities are now en-
gagged in raising an endowment fund
of $250,000 and are said to have Sc.
cured already subscriptions OF over
100000. Its present site is not
large enough and the school will be
moved to new location.
President Mumaw outlined the pro.
position to the Hoquiam club. with
the idea Of having the commercial
organizations Of both cities take the
matter up. which WIN be done.

RAILROAD TALK
AT M0NTESAN0
Oregon W ashington Suspect
ed Of Designs on Open
ing Wynooche Valley

MONTESANO, June 5.-Some color
is given to rumor that the Oregon.
Washington Railroad & Navigation
company is going to build into the
Olympic peninsula from this place by
the fact that several of the officials
who visited the city at the opening
of the new depot here were taken
for ride over a route of their own
choosing. up the Wynoochee river
valley.
Though this valley is not very wide,
1t is one of the richest in Chehalis
county and it's source is in the very
heart of the Olympics. The hills on
either side Of the valley are covered
by some of the best timber land in
the state of Washington. It is
known that some very prominent
business and professional men of this
county have been investing heavily
in, that valley, and above it in the
foothills since the O.-W. first began
negotiations to buiid a spur into Mon.
tesanO, and for some time it has been
rumored that the O.W. might build
up the Wynochee to connect with the
Simpson Logging company's road and
thence to Shelton and possibly be-
yond.
Rumor, however, also connects the
Milwaukee with negotiations for the
Simpson logging road.
The Simpson road, which taps the
upper Wynochee valley, is certainly
building for more than logging busi-
ness. For instance, q recent bridge
put across a branch Of the Satsop
river is a steel structure that is said
to have cost $4,000.
According to testimony brought out
recently in damage suits in this
county, the O.-W. owns the line built
into Grays Harbor cities and the Mil
waukee has trackage rights over it.,
while the O.-W. is to have trackage
rights over the line the Milwaukee
is to build ffrom the Harbor cities
into the Olympic peninsula. However,
such an arrangement does not pre-
clude the idea that the O.-W. will
60 after business of its own also in
the Olympics, and this Wynochee ter
ritory would not be reached frfom the
proposed Milwaukee line, any more
than it is now reached by the North
ern Pacific line into Grays Harbor.

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Unearthed In Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.

1t is learned that number OF new
and relatively important manuscripts
OF Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and In Honolulu
by an ardent admirer OF the great
novelist, who had been for some time
In both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some of the many friends
of Stevenson curing his years In the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding OF an essay. said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing vol
cano in action. supposedly either the
famous crater OF Savaii or the pit OF
Kilauea In Hawaii: a piece Of fiction
dealing with South Sea life. and a
number Of smaller verse compost
tions.
Still another manuscript. blank
verse relation of a well-known legend
of Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer OF Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
OF effort.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit in United States
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That 80 per cent. of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured In this
country Is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. l.. F. Keller.
Chief OF the Division Of Drugs. Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement.
concerning the appalling growth Of
drug addiction in the United States.
was made by DR.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study OF Alcohol and
Narcotics.
Dr. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent. In
the last 40 years. and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough in their use Of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients. he
said, is creating thousands Of drug
users every year.
''It is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. Estate
laws are not saving the public from
the grip of the drug habit. and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss Of
the morphine and cocaine fiend.
THE worst Of 1t is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. l have heard 1t said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. Of the CO
caine and morphine manufactured In
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc.
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb-
ler's address, DR.. ]. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids. Michigan, in a public
statement said that 10 out of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.
