he recipient of many testimonials
of his appreciation in this city, not
the least of which occurred Sunday
morning, when he was called to go

he was met by committee of motor
men and conductors and presented
with a beautiful watch charm, made
of two elk teeth mounted in gold and
studded with diamonds. Coming as
it did, from men who were subject
to his discipline, the testimonial of
esteem was particularly gratifying.
At little dinner given in his hon.

was presented with handsomely
mounted panoramic photograph Of
Aberdeen, a recent triumph in the
Photographic art by Lon Lewis, that
he will carry away with him as a
valued souvenir Of his sojourn on

START ON HUNT
FOR LOBBYISTS
Democrats Will Endeavor to
Make Good President
Wilson's Charge
INQUIRY IS WELCOMED
Leaders Plan to Restrict Leg
islation to Tariff Reyi-
sion and Currency

WASHINGTON, D. c., June L.
Tariff and currency reform will go
into eclipse tomorrow when the SEN
ate begins it's hunt for the "numer-
Gus and insiduous lobby" which Presi-
dent Wilson has said is at work In
Washington threatening the Under
wood bill.
Some attention will also be devot-
ed to the senate investigation of tho
West Virginia coal strike.
Work on tariff and currency will
continue, however, with sub-commit-
tees grinding on the tariff schedules.
Leaders hope to get the bill into the
senate not later than June %.
President Wilson's correspondence
with Senator Tillman, which devei
oped that the President thought cur
rency reform imperative at the extra
session to prevent opportunity for
any artificial financial disturbances
after the tariff bill is law, probably
will be followed soon with special
message to congress conveying Mr..
Wilson's ideas on the general sub.
ject. The lobby investigation will BE-
gin tomorrow morning at 10:30
o'clock.
Put Senators on Record
Each witness will be called upon.
to tell what he knows of tariff lobby
and go on record as to his personal
business affairs and professional as
sociations that may relate to any
item in the tariff bill. What part
President Wilson will take in the
inquiry they have not learned, but
the President has stated that he well
coined the inquiry and that he has
information regarding tariff lobby
which he willingly would submit to
the investigators.
The West Virginia investigation an
thorized to be conducted by the edur
cation and labor committee of the
senate will be initiated tomorrow By
subcommittee composed of Sens
tors Swanson, Shields, MARITIME, Boz.
ah and Kenyon. It will meet first
in Washington and later may proceed
to the Pain creek coal region. The
inquiry will probably be extended
over many weeks.
Democratic leaders Of the house
are planning to restrict, as far -
possible, the legislation at this ses-
sion to the tariff, currency reform
and any appropriations that may b.
deemed imperative. This plan is fxS-
ored today by Representative Under
wood Of Alabama, the majority lead
er, and he will propose it in reso-
luton to be presented at caucus
of the house democrats tomorrow.

OIL PROSPECTS
ON H0H RIVER
Engineer Ewart Is Impressed
Finds Ground Satur-
ated With Petroleum
Machinery For Drilling First
Well Will Arrive on the
Ground In Few Weeks

Oil prospects in the Hob river dis
trict are alluring and even brighter
than he had thought, according to
Engineer c. w. Ewart, who return.
ed Saturday after spending several
days on the Jefferson OH company's s
holdings where he is arranging for
the landing and placing of machinery,
tools and material to be used in the
construction and operation Of. the
first we'll to be sunk in that region.
"You can smell oil throughout the
district" said Mr.. Ewart. "In the
section where l was working, the
ground was fairly saturated with Pc
troleum. The presence of oil was par
ticularly noticeable in the sandstone
and shale rock. I saw number of
holes where oil was standing, having
seeped through the ground. The
largest hole, from which understand
the sample oil which the Jefferson
company has on exhibition was taken,
is about eight feet in diameter and
is three or four feet deep. There
was oil standing about two feet deep
in this hole. and it was evident that
some had been dipped out recently.
The hole had been boarded over to
keep out dirt and rain and there was
very little water in it. The other
holes were smaller and more shall
low, and on account of the heavy
rains held considerable water. The
oil was there in a thick scum. The
beach is also impregnated with oil"
Mr.. Ewart says it will be a COM
paratively easy task to land tools
and get the material to the place
where the first we'll will be sunk.
The location of the we'll is on a hill
about 1000 feet up from the beach.
Materials and tools will be taken in
scows which, on calm day, can be
beached. The conditions should be
right during the latter part of June,
says Mr.. Ewart.
The material will be taken off the
scows between two high tides. One
trip should be sufficient, thinks Mr..
Ewart. A donkey engine located on
the scow will move things ashore,
where they will be hauled up the
hill by a tramway. This tramway
will be worked by cable with power
furnished by a donkey engine locat-
ed at the base of the steep slope.
Mr.. Ewart will have charge of build.
ing the tramway and locating the
donkey. This work will take two or
three weeks, he declares, and should
be ready by the time that machinery
is here for shipment up the coast.
Mr.. Ewart is much impressed with
oil prospects, which, while he has
never doubted them are the more
strongly placed in his mind by his
observations while in the Hob river
district.

GAMBLING JOINT RAiDED
Officer Hook Raids Gambling Den In
East Aberdeen This Morning.
Captures -Four Men

In a shack near the old cannery in
East Aberdeen, Officer Hook found a
party of five Greeks and Polaks gam
bling at $3.50 this morning, and took
them in arrest to the city Jail. 1t
is thought from the appearance of the
men that the game had been an all
night session. They gave the names
of John B. Kloske, Jim Boltz, John
Schmidt, Mike Shlave and Frank
Yenchs, and will have a hearing be-
fore Judge Snider this afternoon.
Kloske put up $50 bail, and the 9TH
ers languish in the calaboose. M.
P. Miller and J. P. Kerbell, who were
spectators of the game. were held in
$25 bail to appear as witnesses.

VERY FOOLISH
BOYCOTT THREAT
An Anonymous Letter Threat

KNIGHTS OF THE FOREST
|. Title Assumed by Those
lmitators Of Robin Hood
is Thought Silly

An unsigned letter, purporting to
be from the knights of the Forest
(whoever they are) threatening a gen
eral boycott on the business men OF
Chehalis county, who fail, refuse or
neglect to push for the early con.
struction of the c. D. Hanson road,
has been mailed throughout the
county.
So far as representing any organi-
cation, or any interest the loggers of
Chehalis county have in this road
controversy, the letter is pronounced
a fake, pure and simple. That it has
emenated from quarter where pri-
vate interest in this matter has over
ridden calm judgment is the general
opinion. That an enforced pressure
such as is here contemplated, will
carry no weight with the county CON-
missioners, goes almost without say
ing. The letter, which has been re.
ceived by the business men of Aber.
deem, follows:

WATER SUPPLY
FROM RESERVES
Department Of Agriculture
Will Cooperate with Cities
to Conserve Supply
AND KEEP SOURCE CLEAN
Action Of Department Leads
to Hope Of Aid for Aber-
deem in the Olympics

WASHINGTON, D. C. May 81
Secretary Houston has just approved
an agreement between the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the town of
Stafford, Arizona, by which the Forest
Service and the town will cooper
ate to conserve Safford's water sup
ply, which comes principally from
the Crook National Forest.
This is the latest one of many such
agreements. According to the fig
ures of the Forest Service there are
nearly 1900 cities and towns in the
West which derive their water sup
ply from lands within the National
Forests. Where these cities desire
it the Government joins hands with
the citizens for the purpose of main
tanning permanent and pure water
supply
Stock raising, for example, or any
other occupancy of the land, which
ordinarily would be encouraged,
would be inadvisable on watershed
which forms a source of drinking
water. The Forest Service recognizes
that water is as necessary a com.
modify for wooded hillsides to supply
as are sawlogs or mine props. A
watershed area may offer an oppor.
tunity to furnish the greatest benefit
to the largest number through sup.
plying an unpolluted source of water
for domestic purposes.
Contracts like that just made with
Stafford are now in force with Cas-
cade Colorado Springs, Durango and
Manitou in Colorado; Salt Lake in
Utah; and Baker City and The Dalles.
Oregon. The famous Bull Run water
she'd which supplies Portland, Ore.
gon, is on the Oregon National for
est.
The cooperative agreement in
each case provides that the land may
not be used without approval by the
town, except for the protection and
care Of the forests. The Govern
ment agrees to extend and improve
the forests by seeding, planting, and
forest management so far as the funds
for that purpose are available.
The city, for it's part, assists by pay
ing the salaries of the additional
guards necessary to carry out the
agreement, and contracts to bear the
greater part of the cost of any i'm
provement work which it considers
Immediately desirable.
