LAND RESERVED
FOR LIGHTHOUSE
Representative johnson Se-
cures 206 Acres for Light
house on North Beach

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 16.-
The senate last evening passed Repre-
sentative Albert Johnson's bill giving
government control of 2O6 acres in
Quiniault reservation for much need
ed light house at Cape Elizabeth. The
senate last evening passed Senator
Jones bill providing for a standard
apple box. This bill is approved by
nearly all the apple growers of Wash
box is not compulsory, however.
E. B. Merritt, assistant commits
sioner of Indian affairs, has written
letter to Senator Jones which
throws light on what had appeared
to be something of local mystery.
White Man Barred
Some time ago the bureau of In
dian affairs issued an order forbid
ding l.. NJ. Streator from running his
boats on the Quiniault river, carrying
passengers from the lake to the
ocean, The strange part of it was
that the Indians were not at the same
time forbidden the privilege of ply
ing their craft.
In his letter to Senator Jonees Mr..
Merritt says that Mr.. Streator's boats
are power boats and it is feared they
would disturb the spawning ground
of the salmon.

NOUT FRY PLANTED
AberdSen Party Takes $4,000 Trout
Fry to Rainey Creek in Auto
Over Rough Roads.

M. Lupton, Frank Ladley and Axel
Sdemark went up the Wishkah river,
a2oout 80 miles north of Aberdeen,
last Thursday with $4,000 cut throat
trout fry, which they planted in the
cold waters of Rainey creek The
fry which were brought from East
ern Washington by Game Warden Es-
ses, were iced twice on the journey up
the river, in the Lupton automobile,
and the care with which they had
been handled was shown when plac-
ed in the creek, not single fish be-
ing dead.
The auto trip was rough one The
Wishkah valley road was all right,
but in reaching Rainey creek they
followed an old logging road built
years ago by Cy Blackwell, which was
about as difficult for an auto as can
be imagined.

AUTO TURNS TURTLE
Lights Go Out and Car Runs Into
Ditch in the Dark. Driver and
Passengers Injured.

While E. Provost, with two men
passengers, was coming home in his
seven-passenger car from Moclips
Saturday night, the headlight went
out suddenly when about six miles
west of Hoquiam. Provost put on the
emergency brake at once, but it
failed to hold the car, which skidded
along the road in black darkness un-
til it ran over an embankment and
turned completely over. Provost was
pinned beneath the car, while his
passengers were tossed clear of the
machine. Although badly bruised the
two men succeeded in righting the
car, but not until Provost had been
held fast for 20 minutes. The latter
was badly bruised and cut, but NO
bones were broken.

BLACK HEARTILY
WITH WILSON
Democratic Candidate for
United States Senator
Visits Crays Harbor
HE SPEAKS ON STREETS
Judge Black Holds Out Door
Meetings in Montesano,
Aberdeen and Hoquiam

Judge w. w. Black of Everett, can
didate for the democratic nomination
for United States senator, visited Che.
halls county last week, addressing
open air meetings at Montesano on
Thursday night and Aberdeen and Ho-
quiam Friday night. He had good
sized audiences at each place and
left a good impression at the close of
the addresses.
The Aberdeen meeting was held on
the corner of Heron and G streets,
Judge Black speaking from the auto
mobile of Watson Vernon. He based
his claims for support for the high
position to which he aspires upon his
known support of President Wilson,
and paid his respects to the calamity
kowlers, who, he said, were misrepre-
senting conditions throughout the
country with view to discrediting
the democratic administrator. In Ev-
erett, he stated several new lumber
plants had been built during this al
legged depression, and plants were now
operating that had been shut down,
while the figures of the commissioner
of labor showed that in this state 20
per cent more men were engaged in
the lumber business in 1914 than in
1912.
He said the democrats were inter-
ested in having good times, because
they could gain political credit, while
the republicans were interested in hav-
ing bad times, in the hope that as
Sorld nd he :. Of fef% public dissatisfaction they
cluded the reLloilca. cohtsl ess.leh
from this state among the calamity
howlers and advised the voters to re-
tire them and send boosters in their
places.
Addressing the adherents of the
bull moose party, the speaker claim
ed their idol, COL Roosevelt, during
his term in the presidency Of seven
and half years, had not done a
single one of the things he now ad-
vocated, or recommended to congress
any of the reforms on which he now
appealed for support. Col Roosevelt,
he said, had abuseed President Taft
for signing the Payne-Aldrich tariff

u. S. ENGINEERS
NEXT SUNDAY
Board Of Engineers from the
National Capital Coming to
Inspect Crays Harbor
TO VIEW NORTH JETTY
Will Come to Look the
Country Over to See If 1t
Promises Permanence

Arrangements have been completed
by the Aberdeen Chamber of Com
merce and the Hoquam Commercial
Club for the reception of the board
of United States engineers, eleven
in number, who will visit Grays Har-
bor next Sunday. E. l.. Carpenter,
resident. engineer in whose hands Ma
jor Cavanaugh has placed the arrange
ments, after conference with the COM
mercial organizations, decided to have
tho party detrain at Aberdeen in
stead of Hoquiam. They will arrive
early Sunday morning on the "Owl''
train and will breakfast at Hotel
Washington. a
AS the party intends to leave on the
4:45 afternoon train for Seattle, the
time here will be very limited, and
plans are made to have the board see
as much of this region as possible
during their brief stay. 1t is known
that the board does not come seeking
information about the Harbor or jetty
they have all the data concerning that
in their office in Washington, and
their visit is taken to mean an OBJ
servation Of the country surrounding
Grays Harbor, it's progress and per
manence. The war department in
times past has recommended the i'm
provement Of ports on the Great Lakes
to afford lumber shipping facilities
only to find the harbors deserted in
few years when the timber was re
moved.
1t is proposed to show the boarG
that Grays Harbor not only has the
greatest body of timber in the world
tributary, but that it possesses. all
the requirements for a commercial
seaport.
The board will be met at Hote
Washington by the Port Commission
and representatives Of the Aberdeen
Chamber Of Commerce and the Ho
quiam Commercial Club, and it is ex
pected they will be reauJ to leave
by 8 o'clock, when a part of the
board, probably two, accompanied by
the Port Commissioners and local men
will leave for the jetty on the power
boat Forester. The remainder of the
party will be taken in autos to the
headquarters camp of the Poison Log
ging company. They will see what
Grays Harbor logging is and will ther
be taken over the railway lines, reach
ing camp I at noon, where lunch will
be taken. The party will be met al
camp l by autos and brought back
over the Olympic highway.
The party to the jetty will return
to Hoquiam at about 1890 p. m. an6
will be met at the Eighth street dock
by autos and taken to the Graypor1
for lunch They will then be taken
for an auto ride about Hoquiam and
Aberdeen and the surrounding dis.
tricts. A public hearing will be held
int he Aberdeen City hall from 8: &c
until trian time.

HENRY CLEWS
IS OPTIMISTIC
Rapid Adjustment Of Affairs
to New Conditions Is Clear
ing Financial Skies
FINANCIERS CONFIDENT
No More Gold Exports-Fi-
nancial Machinery in Shape
to Meet Contingencies

NEW YORK, Apg. 1.-THE crisis
of the age is on.
For the time being the worlds COM
merce is demoralized On the con-
tinent of Europe the losses will be
colossal. Hundreds of thousands Of
precious lives will be sacrificed, and
billions of capital and property de-
stroyed Chaos will rule in European
industry and commerce for possibly
some time to come
In the course of time the present
confusion will partly disappear. The
world is rapidly settling down to
war basis, and many of the necessary
activities of life will soon go on much
as usual
American Finance Is Calm
So far as the United States is con-
cerned, we are energetically adjust
ing ourselves to the new situation.
Our leading financiers are showing
a degree of calmness, courage, con-
sideration and wisdom that is
splendid exhibition of public spirit.
Whatever the misdeeds of the past,
today those who manage our leading
financial institutions are showing a
fine ability and splendid courage
in meeting the grave situation. Not
only our financial machinery has been
put in shape to meet almost any
contingency, but important aid has
been rendered to European bankers,
relieving them of considerable of their
obligations to this side. Foreign
banks often finance the moving OF,
some of our crops, cotton for in
stance; but in this case by relieving
them we have helped ourselves as
we'll as Europe.
Business in Good Shape
In all departments Of business
there is growing spirit of co-opera-
tion. There is a universal extension
of credit where needed and where
conditions are sound. The financial
strain on this side has been relieved.
BY common understanding our bank
ers have agreed to prevent any furth-
er important exports of gold.
The closing of all of the exchanges
has fortunately prevented an aggra-
vation of the crisis by stopping ILL.,
advised speculation; and before long
there is little doubt but that the fl
nancial situation here will have been
so strengthened as to allow the re-
opening of exchanges throughout the
country.
United States Will Benefit
Happily America is out of the strug-
gle. We may feel the consequences
in temporary business confusion; but
ultimately the United States will ben
eft materially, and it is to be hoped,
morally by this unprecedented and
un-called for cataclysm.
Already the financial skies are cler-
ing. In local financial circles there
is much more confident and hopeful
feeling rgarding the future.

SLIGHT FIRE SATURDAY

The fire department was called out
soon after noon Saturday by slight
fire in the Spanish Grill, in the Bijou
block, on Heron street. The blaze
started from a gas range, and the
cook narrowly escaped injury. The
prompt arrival of the firemen pre-
vented the cutting Of the place. The
loss was estimated at 800, and is
covered by insurance.

The substitute and the motion were

against the substitute, which at that
time was favored only by Wilson and
