URGES MILK GRADING
Agricultural Department Would Inn
prove Dairy Stock This Way.

The new state department of agri-
culture, in an effort to improve the
quality of dairy stock and to induce
care in handling milk, is attempting to
induce leading creameries and large
purchasers of milk and cream general
ly, to grade what they buy and estab-
lish different prices for different
grades.
Flavor and smoothness should be
considered, the department believes, as
these qualities cannot be attained .un.
less care is given the handling of the
milk and cream and on the other hand
good butter cannot be obtained from
cream that does not possess these at
tributes.
Just as 1t took grain grading to i'm
prove the quality of wheat grown by
the farmers of Eastern Washington, so
will milk and cream grading, the de-
partment believes, tend to the estab-
lishment of higher standards and pro-
duction of better quality of dairy
products.

Secretaries and chief clerks of all
departments under the governor this
week issued their first call for bids for
Office supplies for use in these nine de-
partments. Each department Is re-
quired to submit a complete list of
supplies that will be needed for the
next few months, just as the superin-
tendent of each state institution makes
his semi-annual requisition, and the
officers of the secretaries organization
then inform the supply houses what is
wanted and receive bids. The secre-
taries expect, by this method. to get
all supplies at wholesale price and
make as great proportional saving in
the cost of operating the departments
as is made by the board Of control in
it's wholesale purchases for state in
stitutions.

WORK NOT STOPPED
ON HEATING PLANT
Manager Says It Will Be Com.
pleted-Millard Lemon Re-
signs from Company.

Millard Lemon, one of the most
who was associated with Wilbur B.
Foshay of Portland in obtaining fran
chises last spring for the erection of
a power and steam heating plant in
Olympia, this week ANNOUNCED his res
ignatiOn from the vice presidency of
the Washington Public Service COM
pany, which was organized to build
the utilities for which franchises were
granted.
Except to give formal announce
ment of his resignation, Mr.. Lemon
declined to make further statements,
though regretting the insinuations
drawn from his action by certain local
papers. Telephone communication
with Mr.. Foshay in Portland ELECTED
the Information that he would be in
Olympia the latter part of this week
and might make a statement then.
Work on the installation of the
steam heating system has not been dis
continued, as reported, and there is no
intention of discontinuing it, accord
ing to c. A. Harmony, local manager
of the Washington Public Service
company, though the force has been
temporarily reduced. During the last
week Mr. Foshay filed with the county
auditor a contract with the American
District Steam Heating company for
the installation of the local system at
a cost of $32,593.59, which is taken as
proof that his company proposes to
complete the projected plant.

The charity ball, an annual affair on
Thanksgiving eve in Olympia for the
last 35 years, will be presented this

FINISH BIG JOB.
Hercules Sandstone Company Completes
$75O,OOO Contract.


William Macarthur, an officer of the
Hercules Sandstone company of Ten.
ino, this week reported that his con
cern had just successfully completed
it's $750,000 contract with the govern.
ment to furnish rock for the north
jetty at Grays Harbor.
The company's quarry No. 2 has the
most efficient, up to date equipment
for handling large contracts on the
Coast, and while there were a number
of minor accidents, such as bruised
hands, feet and injuries from flying
rocks, these are mostly due to the
carelessness of the employees.
The contract just completed was the
largest single contract for rock ever
let on the Pacific Coast.

HIGHWAY ENGINEER
ASKED TO RESIGN
Incumbent Severely Criticised by
Commission Must Go-Succes-
sor Not Appointed.

No announcement has yet been made
by Governor Lister as to the man
whom he will appoint state highway
engineer to succeed w. J. Roberts,
whose resignation was asked for by
the governor this week and given, ef-
fective December 10. o. Bystrom, for
mer chief engineer of the land depart
ment under E. w. Ross, has been men,
toned as possible appointee but little
credence is given this report. The ap-
pointment may be announced next
week.
The request for Roberts resignation
comes as the result of the investiga-
tion of the Bellingham water front
road by the state highway commission
and the unanimous report severely
criticising Roberts administration
made by the commissions special COM
mittee, consisting of Governor Lister,
State Treasurer Ed Meath and State
Auditor c. w. Clausen. This criticism
was based on the report Of personal
investigation made by Surveyor Gen.
eral E. A. Fitzhenry at the request of
the highway commission, report that
was approved in every particular by
the special committee composed of two
Republican state officers and one Dem
ocrat
Besides severely criticising his ad-
ministration, the highway commission
went over Roberts head and took from
him further connection with the con-
struction of the Bellingham road and
placed it in the hands of James C.
Allen, a we'll known engineer of this
city who laid out the first route pro-
posed for the road, the route preferred
by the citizens of Bellingham and the
one approved by the commission. Mr..
Allen has been at work on the road
for the last. three weeks.
Local people in touch with the situ-
alton had expected to hear Of Roberts
resignation, in view Of the severe crit
icism directed at him and Of the action
Of the commission in taking this par.
ticular piece of work out of his hands.
1t is presumed that the governor, after
waiting several weeks for the resigna.
tion to be forthcoming. decided to wait
no longer and requested 1t.

STATE BIG LANDLORD.
Owns 1857 Acres of Timber Land in
ThurstOn County.

Owns 1857 Acres of Timber Land in
ThurstOn County.
The state of Washington owns tim
ber lands in the 10 westside counties
outside of forest reserves and includ
ing no lands under lease or upon which
the timber has been sold, totaling
575,2S9 acres, according to listing
by State Forester E. w. Ferris. OF
this amount, 1857 acres are in Thur.
ston county.
An examination of considerable
portion of this area during the past
summer by county fire wardens shows
that approximately three-fifths of the
land, when cleared, will be suitable
for cultivation. The remaining two
fifths, State Forester E. w. Ferris be-
lieves, should be reforested.
