The Herald Printing Co., publish

The plant and business will continue

This step was taken because of a
desire of Mr.. Carney to retire and
his inability to dispose of his inter-

tried for the past two years. It is
in no sense business failure, as the
assets exceed the liabilities two dol.

chief creditor. The total liabilities
are about $4,000, of which Mr.. Car
ney either holds claims or has guar
anteed approximately $4,000. The
physical assets, of which the inven-
tory is now being taken, will approx
innate $9,100, so that every creditor
will receive 100 cents on the dollar

tory is completed the paper and plant
will be offered for sale to the highest
bidder,

SUPPORTS DRURY
Former Mayor Of Seattle
Supports Charles 'Drury
In a Ringing Letter
PEACE AND PROSPERITY
Should Be Sent to Congress
By Third District to Sus-
tain President Wilson

TACOMA, Oct. 20.-George F. Cot
terill, former mayor of Seattle, and a
Democrat of nationwide reputation,
has given a ringing endorsement OF
the candidacy for Congress of Charles
Drury of Tacoma, in letter received
by Mr.. Drury today. 1t reads:
"You are entitled to support first
and foremost because your candidacy
presents the only direct opportunity
whereby voters in your district can
under our political system evidence
their support of President Wilson;
their approval of his great service to
the Nation, and their desire that his
hands be upheld as he goes forward in
devoted public service for Peace,
Justice and True Prosperity.
A vote for Mr.. Johnson for Con-
gress is direct slap at President Will
son, vote of rebuke and a declara-
ton of continued obstruction and
opposition.
"a vote for Mr.. Warburton can &C
complish no practicable purpose, what
ever may be his expressions Of per-
sonal sympathy for the National Ad-
ministration. A free lance alter
natively striking or defending, without
distinct allegiance and loyalty, can
accomplish nothing under our party
system, at the National Capitol.
"A vote for Drury is vote for
the only nominee, who, if elected
to Congress, can take a place in the
responsible, democratic party councils
and there give support to the pro-
gressive, democratic, humanitarian
principles and policies as they are
advanced and maintained by Pres-
dent Wilson.
"In character, environment and DEM
onstrated record in private and public
life, you have abundantly shown your
self equal to such an opportunity and
devoted to just such a public duty.
81 hope that you may be elected,
for | know that you will make good
in the best sense of the term"

for the proposed improvement of riv.

you appeared and that:
l. You requested only a survey for
the proposed extension of the Grays
Harbor jetty; that you did not know
that Warburton had secured this sur

that you did not know that this sur
vey had already been made by the
United States engineer; that you nev-

April, 1914, when informed by your
constituents, that the survey recon-
mending 100000 had been on the
desk of the Board of Engineers for
about two months.
2. That you did not know of like
survey for Willapa Harbor, that Mr.
Warburton had secured in 1912, which
survey had been made and which was
on the desk of the Board of Engineers,
until you were informed by the COM
mittee at the hearing on the oath day

ALBERT JOHNSON
GETS OVATION
Chehalis County Turns Out
to Greet Returning Con- .

RECEPTION AND BANQUET
Speech of Statesman Disap-
points by Failing to Ex-
plain Opposition Charges

When Congressman Albert johnson
Of Hoquiam, arrived at his home city
Wednesday evening he was given ar
ovation of which he may justly be
proud. He was met at the railway
station by nearly 1000 of his fellow
townsmen, headed by band and Civ
en- reception and banquet at Hote
Grayport. More than 300 citizens from
all sections of Chehalis county sal
at the banquet and cheered the re
turning congressman to the echo.
J. w. Clark of Aberdeen, acted
toastmaster and J. H. Davis, of Ia
coma, E. E. Boner, of Aberdeen; j
A. Hutcheson, of Montesano, c. c.
Scates of Oakville, and w. E. Camp
bell of Hoquiam, responded to
toasts.
When the congressman rose to
speak he was greeted with such voci
ferrous applause that it was several
minutes before he could secure a
hearing. And here was where his
audience was doomed to disappoint
ment. The large crowd had gather
ed expecting to hear Mr.. johnson re.
ply to the charges made against him
by his opponents. They had reason
ed that during the four days railroad
journey he would have prepared a
complete refutation of the allegations
advanced by the supporters of Drury
and Warburton; that he would sound
the keynote of his campaign, some
thing about which his loyal support
ers could rally, but in this he signal
ly failed. He did not even attempt
it,
81 have four thousand things in my
mind of which l might speak, but
shall try to pick out few things OF
interest to you good people. l am
not going to talk politics tonight, but
shall try to select few non-partisan
matters of general interest" said Mr.
Johnson.
And this was just what his speech
contained. A casual glance about the
handsomely decorated tables revealed
the disappointed countenances of his
hearers, all of whom were personal
friends, and nearly all of them be-
lieved he had been maligned and
wanted to be his political friends as
well, but they certainly had expect
ed to hear a different kind of speech
Not word was uttered in explain
ation of his attempt to bullyrag the
president into war with MeXico-and
was so sure of success that he ten
dered his services to Governor Lis
ter in the war. A war that would
have cost hundreds of millions OF
money and thousands of young Amer
lean lives.
He failed to say what he expected
to gain, for his constituents or the
nation, by omitting no opportunity to

were unable to advise the committee
what you wanted.
3. That on the oath day of Janu-
ary, 1914, and at said hearing, al
though you appeared before the COM
mittee as suggested, you did not urge
an appropriation for single project
on the Columbia River or for any
Harbor on the Columbia River or for
the improvement Of any river flowing
into the Columbia River; that you nev-
er mentioned the name of the Co
lumbia River or any city or town on
the Columbia River.
4. That on the 29th day of Sep
tember Of this year, you urged by
speech and vote an amendment to the
Rivers and Harbors Bill, carrying $780,
900 100000, that the same be reduced
to $5,0O0,O0O; that when you did this,
you must have known that if such
motion and amendment prevailed, that
there was not proposed harbor or
river improvement in your district or
in the State of Oregon, that could get
penny; that the 100000 were
retained in the Bill over your vote and
against your earnest protest.
5. That your claim for credit for
66.O0o.0O appropriation to Indians in
Pacific and Wahkiakum counties. II
wholly mythical; that this appropriar
tion was secured by Warburton In
1912, when a member of the Indian
Affairs Committee. Mr.. Warburton
and Mr.. Carter were the sub-commit-
tee that reported to the committee q
recommendation for the $66,OOO.0O. It
was adopted by the Committee and
presented by the Committee to the
House in the Indians Appropriation
Bill of that year, passed the House
and Senate and become a law; that
the only thing you could possibly
have done, was to urge the Indian
Department to hurry up with the dis
tribution of this fund. These $4,000
were in fulfillment of a treaty made
in 1854 by the Government with the
Indians at the mouth of the Colum-
bia River, had lain dormant all these
years until Mr.. Warburton and Mr..
Carter took the matter up and got
the appropriation.
In the proposed public discussion,
both parties are to confine themselves
strictly to discussion of your official
record as Congressman, and also to
Mr.. Warburton's official record as Z
Congressman, if you desire.
We sincerely hope, that you will
see your way clear to accept this
public discussion.
Sincerely Yours,
PROGRESSIVE

The Majority Party Has

RECORD OF lS MONTHS
Progressive Legislation and
Constructive Statesmanship
Unexcelled in History

The Democratic party has kept the
faith. We have been true to the the
cries upon which the party was found
ed and to the great unwritten consti-
tuition which has regulated and con-
trolled Democratic policies in all the
decades which have passed since the
days of Jefferson.
A Democratic Congress has met
without fear the great problems which
have been confronting the country
through all the years of Republican
rule-problems which have been con-
tinually pushed forward into the fu-
ture by the Republican party through
all it's years of supremacy. Under the
wise, patriotic guidance of the great
est President the country has had in
half century of time the present
congress has remained in session long
er than any Congress since the Civil
War. The term of the present eXecu-
tive is not yet half over. There still
remains another session of the Con-
gress now in session, but we have
already all the great remedial meas
ures we promised the country during
the last campaign for the presidency.
We proudly call attention to a marve-
lous record of performance not equal
led by any party in the same length
of time during all our history as
republic.
We have kept our promises liter

ward. We. have written into the laws
tariff provisions which have wiped out
every vestige of the old war tariffs.
We have enacted the lowest tariff
law we have had since the Walker tar
iff of ante-bellum days. Business goes
on as usual. Our factories are run
ming, many of them day and night.
The predicted business disasters and
panics have not come.
Already in the wholesale prices of
goods the effect of our revision is be-
ing felt. Long before the next Presi-
Dental election retail price reductions
and cheapening of methods of distribu-
tion will make impossible the return
to power of any party, in any section
of the country, which promises or ad-
vocates restoration of the old op-
pressive Republican tariff schedules.
We have enacted into law efficient
income-tax regulations-the kind of a
tax which compels the rich to bear
their fair share of the burdens of run

IMPORTANT TO
SHINCLE MEN
United States Forest Service
Tells How to Avoid Warp
ing Of Shingles in Drying
PREVENTION EXPLAINED
More Moderate Degree Of
Heat at First Stage Of Kiln
Drying Is Advised

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 21.-The
District Forester at Portland, Oregon,
announces that the cause of a GER
tain defect in kiln-dried shingles,
known to the trade as wash board
shingles" has just been discovered
through experiments conducted at the
Forest Products Laboratory at Madi-
son, Wisconsin.
For some time shingle manufacture
ers have complained of the shrink
ing and warping of shingles during
the process of kiln-drying, in some
cases the wood shrinking as much as
80 per cent in the kiln. Various ideas
were advanced by different shingle
mill men, but it was not until an
appeal was made to the Forest Ser
vice that any experiments were made
to discover the true cause for this
defect. The presence of this defect
has often necessitated the culling of
from 10 to 25 per cent Of the shin
giles produced in certain regions.
In order to understand the situa-
ton, you must know that the wood
structure is made up largely of small
cells. Under normal conditions, when
green cedar shingles are ready for
the kiln the cell walls only are moist
under abnormal conditions the wood
cells also may be full Of water. In
the latter case, as soon as heat is
applied, the water in the cell cavities
evaporates by passing through the
cell walls, but no air can get in to
take it's place because the cell walls
are air-tight when wet. Hence, there
is a vacuum in the cell. The pres
sure of the air from the outside is
exerted not only on the whole wood
fabric, but upon the individual cells.
But this is not the only thing that
happens in the neighborhood Of the
wood cells. The action Of excessive
heat (1S0 to 200 degrees F) combin.
ed with the presence of the exces.
sive water in portions of some ce.
dar logs, has the effect Of cooking
or stewing the cell walls, and thus
they become soft and yield to the
air pressure from without The re-
suit when a thousand little wood cells
collapse is apparent in the corrugat.
ed appearance of the wood when it
comes from the kiln.
AS a result of it's experiments, the
Forest Products Laboratory came to
the conclusion that this collapsing of
the wood cells does not occur when
the first part of the drying operation,
which aims to remove the water from
the cell cavities, is conducted at a
more moderate temperature, say 14O
degrees F. Drying at a lower tenn
perature does not soften the cell
walls, and thus they are able to re-
sist the outside air pressure, and
there is then no collapsing or undue
shrinking Of the wood as the mois-
ture evaporates. If the shingles are
air-dried before putting them into
the kiln, no defect results, since this
process is similar to drying at low
temperature.
Shingle operators desiring further
details on this subject, should COM
municate with the District Forester,
Portland, Oregon.
