FIRST SPLASH
GREAT SUCCESS
Record-B Breaking Crowd At

bration at Hoquiam
LISTER REVIEWS PARADE
The Success Of Initial Splash
lnsures Permanence of
Festival

The first annual Grays Harbor
Splash was an unqualified success
More than 10000 visitors were in
Hoquiam on the Fourth, and the en-.
tire three day celebration was enjoy
ed by the largest throng of people
ever before assembled on Grays Har
Dor. Aberdeen and vicinity turned
out en- masse, the street cars carry
ing more than 10000 between the
cities, while the Northern Pacific
trains carried nearly all the coaches
would hold.
From the east end of the county
the crowds attending on the Fourth
were far larger than had been ex
pected. Hundreds came by auto
from all along the line. Others tooS
the special or regular trains and
the two motor cars on extra sche
dule were jammed at every trip.
In fact in every way the crowt
on the Fourth was fully half larger
than had been estimated. 1t was a
most auspicious start for Grays Har-
bor's annual festival and next years
Splash which will be held at Aberdeen,
should even eclipse the event just
closed.
The Parade
The parade was the finest and
longest ever held in Southwestern
Washington, says many. The line
moved about 1920 o'clock, and fol
lowed a route which took it through
the business and principal residence
sections. The reviewing stand was
located in front of the library where

HIGHWAY ENGINEERS
CARELESS IN FORESTS
State Fire Warden Says County Com.
missioners Are Lax In Comply
inQ With Rules

OLYMPIA, July 7.-State Fire War
den E. w. Ferris, who spent couple
of days in his Office here before leav-
ing on a second trip about the TIM
bered regions of the state, says that
his greatest difficulty at this time is
to get the county commissioners and
highway engineers to observe the for
est fire regulations with due care.
Loggers, milling companies and the
people in general, as we'll as most
county officials, are falling we'll into
line with the fire prevention policy
of the department, says Warden Fer
ris. but there are some officials who
are careless about destroying slash
ings from road rights of way and
who show a tendency to evade the
law that requires that all such mat
erial be burned on such rights of
way.
In many cases, he says, the road
workers throw the refuse over the
road embankments onto the property
of others, and that they object to
bringing it back on the right of way
to burn it.
Warden Ferris reports no disastrous
fires so far, owing largely, perhaps.
to the favorable weather. He says
that now is the most satisfactory time
to destroy all waste material that
later will become unflammable.
Mr.. Ferris is highly pleased with
the attitude taken by many lumber
ing and logging companies. He ex-
hibits at his office notice put out
by one company urging its employees
to do everything to prevent possible
fire, and is sending the notice to all
similar camps with view of increas-
ing the already good spirit of cooper
alton existing between the depart
ment and the industries.

back off of it. After some discus
sion the board decided to 60 ahead
with the work on the new survey and
awarded the contract to the Standard
Transfer company at about $4950.
Mr.. Taggert said he could not
speak with certainty for his clinets
but believed they would raise no
great objection if the old road was
left as it is now, for their use.
The sum of $3.50 was granted the
Grays Harbor Poultry association to
help finance this falls show.
The petition of H. C. Heermans for
vacation of North park, in the Grays
Harbor townsite plat, was granted.
A large mass of routine business.
such as auditing monthly reports and
accounts, was gone through with

COMMISSIONERS

Board Of County Commits

Meeting Yesterday
MOCLIPS INCORPORATION
Opposition Is Made to Pro
posed Improvement ef
Wishkak Valley Road

MONTESANO, July THE county
commissioners meeting was tame to-
day, though there were two matters
in which the taxpayers were repre-
sented by attorneys.
The first such matter was the con-
sideration of petition for incorpo-
ration presented by Moclips people,
w. e. Campbell of Hoquiam was pres
ent representing some citizens who
didn't want to incorporate and who
alleged Moclips does not possess
enough regular citizens. Mr.. Camp
bell asked the decision on the mat
ter be put off until another hearing
Robert Chabot made statement sub
stantially as follows:
"This is a movement on the part
of few people to get a saloon into
Moclips ,and that is all it is Nearly
half of the. signers on that petition
are not bona-fide citizens of Mo-
clips
IF that is true" suggested Com
missioner Phil Locke, what would
be the harm of calling an election?
Only bona-fide residents may vote at
the election, and if the majority do
not want to incorporate then you are
safe"
"Yes, but we have got to give no.
tice of election. Thirty days resi-
dence for those already in the county
gives them a vote, and this time of
year Moclips has thousand or more
visitors. What is to prevent the sa-
loon interests from having plenty of
voters there to give them what they
want"
Action was deferred until the first
Saturday in August.
Today was the time set for receiv-
ing bids on the improvement planned
for the Bundy Flats road, about five
miles moth of Aberdeen, and the OBJ
jectors-Mr. Johnson and others,
were represented by Attorney Tag
CERT of Aberdeen.
This road is in Commissioner
Locks district and is what is COM
monty known as the Wishkah road
Those now complaining of the pro-
posed improvement petitioned for the
improvement of the old road in the
locality. When the commissioners
had it examined by the engineers they
concluded the route could be better
ed Some grades were from IA to 16
per cent and several were over s
per cent and the route was winding.
A new survey showed It was possible
to build straight road to the bridge
at the river at no greater expense
than to repair the old. The new sur
vey saved nearly 2O0O in a miles
travel and the worst grade was 5.3
per cent. Bids were called for on
this cutoff.
Before bids were called for and
again today the original petitioners
began complaining. They have their
homes built along the old road and
they object to having the highway
placed to leave their homes away

CURRENCY BILL
in CONGRESS
President Has His Views on
Currency Reform Intro
duced in Senate.
PASSING OF WALL STREET
The Currency Question Over
shadows the Tariff in
Public Importance

WASHINGTON, d. c., July s.
President Wilson has succeeded in
having his currency reform measure
introduced in Congress which fully
embodies his views. This bill is such
masterpiece of craftsmanship, and
is so free from partizanship that all
parties should give it cordial support.
The bill provides for twelve region
al" Government Banks, each of which
is to be parent bank over those ma
tional banks which come under it;
for instance, one of the regional banks
will be placed over the banks of, say
for instances: Ohio, Indiana, and Ken
lucky, constituting a region. When
these banks have more calls for loans
than they can meet. under this new
bill, when it becomes law they can
turn their assets or securities over
to the Regional Government Bank and
secure whatever money is needed to
supply the wants of the business men
! in their communities. The same con-
| dition will prevail in all sections of
the country. 1t will be seen at once
that this bill will provide for an auto
matte expansion of currency, and
there need never be any more tight
ness of the money market.
Currency eill Over Shadows the Taritf
President Wilson is receiving
hearty congratulations from all Sec
tions of the country for his firm stand
in insisting on currency reform at
this session. The fact of it is the
Currency bill is of more vital import
| ance to the country than the tariff
bill, though both are of great import
ance, and when Congress passes both
of them the country will be sure to
have long era of National Pros
perity which will be properly distri-
buted to all classes and sections.
Passing Of Wall Street
Heretofore the finances of this
country have been dominated by the
Wall Street clique. but under this
bill the control of the finances of the
country will be centered in the gov
ernment and not in Wall Street a.
heretofore. Mr.. Bryan took hand
in the framing of feature of this bill
which placed the control of the cur
rency absolutely in the hands of tho
President and the Treasury Depart
ment. Nobody knows better than
Bryan how Wall Street is constantly
scheming to take every possible adj
vantage of the financial necessities Of
the country, and it has never yet fall
ed to take advantage of those neces-
stiles for it's own enrichment when
ever possible. Hereafter Wall Street
will no longer have this opportunity.
Demand for Money at Crop Moving
Time
It will be recalled that every fall
when there is heavy crop to be NOV
ed the demand for money with which
to move it is so great that It almost
paralyses other lines of industry. Un-
der the operation Of this bill the ad-
ditional money for moving the crops
will not be felt to sufficient extent
to affect the money market seriously.
The public is urging Congress to pass
the tariff bill and the currency bill
as quickly as possible and then 60
home so that the country can have
an era of peace and prosperity.

NEW YORK LETTER

NEW YORK, July 5.-Great
plays are not confined to the big
leagues.
By no means. You might, in
fact, comb the records of the
National and American circuits
for many years back, without
finding a catch so spectacular as
Rocksy's.
Rocksy is otherwise Charles
Rock, eight year old, left fielder
of the Roses, an amateur nine of
11th-av and 70th-st, which plays
Its games on vacant ground be-
tween the railroad tracks and the
Hudson river.
1t was in the seventh inning
of very close and exciting game
between the Roses and their most
dreaded rivals, the Lilacs, that a
thrilling crisis arrived. Two were
out and the bases full when the
prize swatter of the Lilacs came to
bat.
The Roses pitcher tried in
vain to fool him. Bang! and the
ball went sailing out to left field
an awful smash.
"Oh, Rocksyl Git under it.
Rocksy!' piped the partisans of
the Roses, and the eight other
players of said team.
Rocksy was on the job. With
his eyes on the ball, he streaked
1t out to deep left. Clear out onto
a planking over the river he ran,
he made desperate stab for the
ball, he got it, and-into the river |
he went.
All the boys knew that Rocksy |
was no swimmer, and the game |
was forgotten while they watched |
Willie Binnia and Jim Reynolds, |
who rushed to the river, jumped
IN and swan toward Rocksy, who
mad fioated out some fifty feet and /
had gone down twice.
The rescuers got to him lust In
Ilme and swan ashore with him.

swing put Anderson down and ont
Tor five minutes and MANY ring
siders at first believed the fighter
was dead. Cross came to his nc.
sistance before he went to his corr
ner and helped him through the
ropes to his dressing room,

fight started. 'ne
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-07-05

He was revived and feeling much
better before an ambulance sur
geon arrived. The doctor gave
Riocksy ride home in the ambu-
lance.
The Roses and the Lilacs are
agreed that the catch was un-
doubtedly the greatest ever, but
they can't agree about one thing.
All the runners had crossed the
plate before they realized lust
what had happened to Rocky.
Do those three runs count, or
don't they? :
The Lilies contend that, as
the IN was not recovered along
with Rocksy, he must have
dropped 1T. Therefore, the runs
score. The Roses declare that II
a player catches the ball, that is
enough-he can't be expected to
carry 1t around in the river with
him,
And there isn't a thing In the
rules that covers the case.
