These counties have been selected
as representative, and not because of
their showing. l have avoided coun-
ties either much larger or much
smaller, in point of population, than
Thurston, save the adjacent counties
of Lewis, Chehalis and Mason. All
save one have much larger areas than
Thurston, and the money spent in
them was as follows:
Chehalis, $1,257,242.S6; Clarke,
$595,796.04; Cowlitz, 0,09O.S6;
kitsap, $311,437.77; Kittitas, $751;
SO6.19; Lewis, $942,117.54; Mason,
$19S,42s.S4; Lincoln, $644,110.57;
Stevens, $429,761.01; Thurston,
$459,940.32.
Per Diem Far Greater Here.
These figures indicate that in q
county of small area and small popu-
lation, spending less in all affairs
than any save four of those counties
enumerated, the total per diem re-
ceived by the board is far greater
than in any of the cases cited. save
that of Lewis county only, which has
more than three times the area of
Thurston county and twice the popu-
lation, and wherein more than twice
as much money is handled by the
county officers. All things being
considered, on the showing of the
other counties cited, l should say that
our commissioners are spending and
charging for two days for every one
that is necessary. The sum paid for
Salaries or per diem" in this county
would indicate that the commission
ers each worked 269 "a days out of
possible 3O7 working days in 1918,

In the estimates for expenses for
the current year, these allowances
were made for the various offices:
treasurer, $500; auditor, $5,525;
clerk $1,000; sheriff, $4,000; assess
or, s6,65O; engineer. $4,100; attor-
hey, s2,750; superintendent of
schools, $685.; commissioners, SO,
500; superior court, $1O,310.
These are the principal items and
cover the Offices and the court. The
total amount estimated for 1914 is
92,4S8.14, for current expenses. AS
before stated, current expenses in
1913 took $6O,5O6.33, and that was,
l should say from the figures of other
counties, too much.
Road and Bridge Funds.
The total expended from the road
and bridge funds and in road war
rants for the several districts, was
$66,267.05 in 1913. In the years
1910, 1911, 1912 and 1913, a total
of $274,062.42 has been spent by the
county on the roads, besides total
of $1S,OO2.13 spent on Thurston
county roads by the state since March
81, 1913. l do not have the figures
prior to that date. To know general
ly the total amount spent on the
roads in given time does not aid
much in the problem in hand. The
question you are asking is whether
the proper proportion of that money
is actually getting on the roads in
the form of labor and material, wise
" placed. That matter is one on
which it is hard to give you much in
formation in the way of figures. The
commissioners records are not in
structive, and could not be.

the matter of relative efficiency in the
spending Of money by resorting to
another comparison with other coun-
ties. have selected Western Wash
ington counties, as / recognize that
conditions are not the same for road
building on the Eastern side. have
avoided the counties of very large
population, King and Pierce. The
following table shows the total spent
by the county on it's roads and
bridges during the years 1910, 1911,
1912, and 1913, and I also give the
amount in dollars spent per square
mile served, as the needs for road
purposes very greatly according to
area.

Ritchie- Murphy Go
Has Been Set Back;
Boxers Clash Jan. 80

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.-Once
again Champion Richie has been
compelled to resort to the rest cure,
and the bout with Tommy Murphy
has been put over another week.
The first postponement was due to
an abscess forming in Wiliie's nose.
This time he has strained his achilles
tendon while doing road work and
his throbbing heel has laid him on
his back. The contest which was to
have taken place on January 90 has
been dated afresh for.>January 30,
and in the meantime the forfeit each
boxer was required to furnish at the
making of the match has been In
creased from $4,000 to $4,000
Jim Buckley, manager of Tommy
Murphy, is so stunned at the way
fate Is making a football Of the Har-
lem lightweight that he has scarcely
word to say He swears, however,
that sun spots will never appeal to
him as forerunners of mundane hap
penings until they predict the disas-
ters that will befall Champion Richie
while training.
"At that it might have been worse.
said Buckley. Fancy If his Maginnis
tandem had gone back on him the
night before the fight the way his
nose did"

President and Manager Likely to
Withdraw for Sake of Peace

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. IA
~ President Hirsig and Manager

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. IA
~ President Hirsig and Manager
Schwartz are both likely to
resign their Offices within the next
few days, thereby bringing about
peace in the camp of the Nashville
club. At present it looks as though
the only way success can come to the
Vols is by both Withdrawing.
At a meeting Of the stockholders of
the Nashville baseball club, held here
last night, the friends of President
Hirsig controlled and elected a board
of directors with majority favorable
to the president The board of di-
rectors took no action as to electing a
president and manager, but will hold
a meeting within the next few days
for that purpose.
It Is understood that harmonious
basis will be reached by the probable
resignation of President Hirsig and
the selection of another manager
rather than Bill Schwartz.
Chancellor Allison yesterday after
noon dissolved an Injunction secured
by William G. Schwartz, manager of
the local be seball club, preventing
President w. G. Hirsig from voting
&c shares of stock of the association
at the annual meeting here Tuesday
night. 1t was shown that President
Hirsig had rIghtfully purchased the
stock from DR.. w. B. Lee and That
he had been voting 1t for the past
eight months. Chancellor Allison held
that the injunction granted Mr..
Schwartz was invalid.

basket ball team Is excepttoA-
ally bright this year. This ID
Techs second year in g. T. A. A. baS-
ket ball, but If good material and
thorough coaching will turn out a
good team they will make a showing
equally as we'll IS most Of the older
teams this season. Coach HeismAn
has most OF the squad working every
afternoon for q couple Of hours.
Professor Randall IL having sor.s
difficulty in arranging the games, but
he will probably have all the con-
tracts signed within . few days, theu
a definite schedule viii BE- announced.
TIE most promising candidates for
the quintet this season are the
Columbus boys and few others.
Captain Bradley Is showing excellent
form at guard, despite Insight weight
and only one years experience. Ri
vars, Vaughn and Mitchell. three
first-year men, are playing good ball.
The forwards are not SO hard to
pick: Cushman, Johnson and Spence
are decidedly the best. Cushman and
Johnson were two of the best players
on the football team this season. If
they play basket ball as well as foot
ball they will give the team two val
liable men. Cushman has had three
years experience on the Chattanooga
High School team, and was one of
the best prep players in Tennessee
last season. He is light on his feet
and a very accurate shooter at close
distances.
7 Crimson has been out only few
J times, but he is said to be a
great player. He is behind in HIS
studies and Is trying to get them
Strengthened out before he devotes
too much time to basket ball.
Mccullough, who alternated with
Porter at center last year, is playing
excellent ball, but when the faculty
let's Strupp return to the team Mo-
Culough will have to try for a new
position.
A number OF good substitutes are
out for every position, so IL any of the
regulars are put out after the mid
term games there will be some good
men for their places

This may sound strange, but 1t is

hailed a new champion and forgot all
about the old one. l really did feel
sorry for Wolgast, although he did
not deserve any sympathy, for the
reason that he went around town

Manager Nolan and myself were
besieged with offers from theatrical
men all over the country. We looked
them all over carefully, and finally
decided to sign up for six solid
months over the Sullivan e. Considine
circuit. This looked like the Iivest
offer of the bunch, so it did not take
us long to come to terms at a fat
salary.

Many of the fans all over the

that they gave me the worst of it,

Anyhow, the theatrical magnates

sured. | did not look for stage work
No, indeed 1t was simply thrust
upon me. Practically every big vaude

me to appear before the footlights

stage work, still / did not want to
pass up all that money.
