another column of this page. The po-
EN- also is graphically descriptive, re-
citing as it does, the old settlers COM
ing, his previous and his new condi-
ton, the causes which compelled him
to remain, and finally that condition of
settled content sotypical of the real
pioneer even to this day. The poem
was once known to every old settler
and was both recited and sung at all
sorts of frolics and on all sorts of pub
lie occasions.
FRANCIS Henry was veteran of the
Mexican war, forty-niner, and bril-
liant but eccentric man. He was pre-
sented with sword by Gen. Scott for
bravery and another by the state of
Wisconsin in recognition of his serv-
ices as a soldier. He went to Califor-
MIA with the first rush of gold seekers,
and tiring of mining, as he said in his
poem, he came on to Puget Sound in
1861, locating at Olympia. He lived
the balance of his life and died there
He was member of several territorial
legislatures and served as probate
Judge of Thurston county. He was
very fond of out of doors life and was
devoted to the recreations of hunting
and fishing.
"This old poem, once known to every
Puget Sounder, should be preserved.
not for its merit as poetry, but because
it is faithful picture of pioneer
days."

REVEALS TO START
HERE NEXT SUNDAY
Months Services in Tabernacle
Begin Then-Building Dedi-
Gated This Week.

The first revivals Olympia has had
for years will start in earnest next
Sunday and will continue through
January, under the auspices of six of
the Protestant churches of the city, in
the tabernacle especially erected for
the purpose at Fifth and Franklin
streets
Evangelist L. r. Haudenshield will
be in charge of the revivals, assisted
by the local ministers, and it is prob
able that at different times during the
month special speakers from other
cities will address the meetings. Owen
F. Pugh, an associate of Rev. Mr..
Haudenshield will have charge of the
music for the revivals.
The tabernacle was dedicated in
union services last Sunday evening,
addressed by Harry F. Stone, secre-
Rev. Chas. A. Bowen, pastor of the
Methodist church and chairman of the
committee in charge of the revivals,
presided, and Rev. Mr.. Bateson, Rev.
H. s. Champie and Rev. d. A. Thomp-
son assisted. The evenings music was
furnished by a chorus from the various
city churches.
Wednesday evening, New Years
eve, special union watch services were
held in the tabernacle, beginning at 8
o'clock with half hour song service,
followed by 10-minute talks by five of
the ministers fthe city, testimony
meeting beginning at II o'clock and
the evenings services closing with de-
votional exercises.
The tabernacle is entirely complet-
ed, all decorations made, and is ready
for use during the revivals. A large
stage capable of accommodating $50
persons fills one end of the large
building, while the auditorium itself
will seat 1000. The lumber. to be re-
turned after used, was donated by the
Black Lake Mill company and Messrs.
White and Bent of that company had
charge of its construction. The build
ing Is heated by four big heaters,
which have been fired steadily this
week to dry it out.

NEED CAMPAIGN TO
SETTLE NEW POLICY
Political Leaders Think People
Must Be Educated on Govern
ment Ownership Plan.

Public men. members of the Demo
cratic party and in the confidence of
its leaders, say that the question of
federal ownership and operation of the
telegraphs and the telephones is so big
and involves such a radical departure
from former governmental policies,
that campaign of education extend
ing over several years will be neces-
sary before the Democratic party is
ready to commit itself one way or the
other, says a dispatch from the ma
tional capital.
That campaign of education, they
say, will probably last until the next
national convention. Whether in 1916
the party will favor government own
ership the men here quoted do not
know. They only say they know that
the matter is not seriously to be
pushed forward during the present ses-
sion of Congress.
At the January caucus called to con-
slider the proposition there will be a
thorough debate of the question, dur
ing which ell the arguments pro and
con will appear. That debate, it is
said. will be part of the campaign of
education. The caucus may go on rec.
ord as favoring or opposing the princi-
pie of government ownership, but it is
now said that its action will not be in
the nature of an attempt to formulate
new policy.
A member of the Democratic ma.
tional committee from Western state
man who Is in the confidence of ad.
ministration leaders, said he had talk
ed with good many of the prominent
men of the administration since com.
ing to Washington a few days ago and
was sure from what they have told
him that government ownership is not
to be made an issue during the present
session of Congress. There are al
ready more issues before the session
than can be disposed of prior to ad.
journment. The party leaders are ad.
verse to undertaking to do more than
can be done thoroughly.
Federal ownership and operation OF
public utilities is something new, he
explains. 1t never has been an issue
of any great party and the public ia
not informed regarding its merits. Per-
sonally he does not oppose 1t, but he
says he should favor campaign Of
education that will bring out the ar
guments on both sides and give the
people an opportunity. in leisurely
way, to make up their minds. That,
he believes, is the policy the party
leaders are now preparing to adopt.

PROBE MEAT QUESTION
Experts Chosen to Study Difficulties Of
Production and Distribution.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Secretary
of Agriculture Houston this week an
nounced the appointment of special
committee of experts to conduct an in
quiry into the present unsatisfactory
meat production conditions in the Unit
ed States. The announcement by the
secretary prescribes that the commit
tee will investigate especially in re-
spect to beef, with view to suggest
possible methods Cor improvement"
The work of the commission, it Is
stated, will center largely on the study
of economic questions involved in the
production, transportation, slaughter
ing and marketing of meat. Among
important conditions to be inquired
into will be the taking up of the pub
lie lands, the effect of the capacity of
the range, and especially on the re-
naming public lands and forest re-
serves with view to suggesting
changes in the laws to make the pub
lie lands of greater use in cattle rails
ing.
The committee will also give special
attention to the economic changes in
meat production and distribution
brought about through the centralizing
Of slaughtering and meat preparations
in large packing establishments and
the changes in transportation.

FIRST STEPS TAKEN
FOR NEW RAILROAD
Or. E lyon Petitions for Vaca-
ton CT St-eets and Alleys for
Depot AID Terminal Site.


Stating that the ground was desired
for depot and terminal facilities for
Olympia's new railroad, DR.. P. H.
Carlyon. president of the Olympia
Terminal railway and owner of the
property in the district, presented a
petition to the council this week for
the vacation Of certain streets and al.
leys in the Adams-Jefferson street dis.
trict where right of way purchases
were made this fall, and the council
fixed its regular meeting January 81
as the date for hearing on the peti-
tion.
At the next meeting of the council
an application for franchise to con-
struct the railroad over several streets
in that district and supplementing the
franchise now held by the Olympia
Terminal railway, will be presented,
according to DR.. Carlyon. All the pre-
liminary work of this character is to
pushed as rapidly as possible. so that
actual construction can be undertaken
as soon as possible.
The petition filed this week asks
for the vacation of the west half of
Fifth street between Jefferson and
Adams, /. e., the entire width of the
street from the middle of the block to
the Adams street line; and of the al
leys between lots and and and 3,
block 46. Sylvester's plat, between lots
l and and Z and 2, block As, and lots
l and and and 2, block A, Barnes
subdivision.
At the last meeting of the Tumwater
city council, the Olympia Terminal
railway company's franchise through
that city was amended so that the
company was granted an extension of
time until October l Of this year be-
fore actual construction work must be
undertaken.
A definite announcement of the
plans of the O.-W. r. & N. is expected
within short time now and probably
will come Immediately after the an.
nual meeting of the board of directors
which will be held the fore part of
this month. 1t is expected then that
work on the local branch will be push.
ed rapidly and that the two harbor
projects involved IN the deal will be
gotten under way.

FARMS OF NATION
YIELD TEN BILLION
1918 Most Successful Year of Hus-
bandry-Value Twice as
Great as 1899.

Ten billion dollars worth of prod
ucts. $4,000, 100000 of cash income-a
bumper year in spite Of droughts and
other setbacks-is the 1913 record of
100000 American farms, says an As
sociated Press dispatch from Wash
ington, D. c.
The most successful year Of hus-
bandry in the United States brought
forth $6,100, 100000 worth of crops, of
which $2,S96, 100000 was represented
by cereals alone and $3,O5O, 100000
worth of animals sold and slaughtered
and animal products. The value of
the 1913 crop is twice as great as that
of 1899; more than a billion dollars
over 1909 and substantially greater
than 1912.
OF all the crops, however, it is esti-
mated that 81 per cent will remain
on farms where they were produced
and that 20 per cent. Of the animal
production will remain. On that ba-
sis the cash income Is estimated by
the department of agriculture at $5,-
S47, 100000.
But despite record year of crop
value-although the record of produc-
tion has fallen-and the fact that the
number of farms has increased II per
cent. since 1910 until there are esti-
mated to be 6,600,O00 farms in the
country. the department in a discus
sion of the subject, made public this
week, does not take the view that a
lower cost of living will follow as a
consequence.
However desirable increased pro.
duction on farms may appear to be
from the consumers viewpoint, 1t
does not follow that such increased
production would result in any in
crease in the cash income per farm or
per capita of farm population. or that
prices paid by consumers would be
any lower" says the report.
Had the total production in 1918
equaled or exceeded the 1912 produc-
tion. 1t seems probable that the cash
income per farm would not have been
greater and might have been less than
in 1912; but 1t is extremely doubtful
whether the cost to the consumer
would have been less because retail
prices are promptly raised on pros
pect of underproduction, but are very
slow to decline if there is over produc-
tion.
THE high prices paid by consum-
ers, ranging from to nearly 500 per
cent. in some cases more than the far
mer receives, indicate there is plenty
of room for lowering the cost of farm
products to consumers and at the same
time largely increasing the cash in
come per farm without increasing
farm production.

TO MEET JACKSON DAY
Democrats Of City and County Antici-
pate Good Time Thursday.

Every Democrat in these halcyon
days of party power who passes up"
the celebration of the birthdays of any
of its hallowed leaders is dead one"
in the opinion of the "live ones,"' and
that is why local Democrats are look
ing forward with great deal of in
terest to the informal meeting which
George Yantis. temporary president of
the local branch of the State Demo-
cratic league. has called for next
Thursday evening, January 8, at Ea-
gles' hall, when in addition to the gen.
eral jolliflcation over Jackson Day, the
permanent organization of the local
branch will be effected.
Notices of this meeting are being
sent throughout the county in the
hope that the Democrats of the differ
ent sections will find time to attend
the gathering, which is desired to be
as representative of the Democrats of
the city and county as 1t can be made,
and present indications are that quite
few farmers of the county who hold
allegiance to that party will be on
hand when the meeting starts at 1880
next Thursday evening.
No set program is being prepared
for the occasion, the idea being to
keep it as informal as possible,
though several impromptu speeches
will probably be made by various Dem
ocrats present. A light lunch of some
kind will be served, there will be ci-
gars for those who like the weed
and general good time for all.
The hall is in the old city hall on
East Fourth street, the same place
that was used by the Pullman College
instructors during the weeks exten'
sion course in Olympia this fall, and
every Democrat in the county is per-
sonally invited to be on hand and help
make the meeting successful.

FRANCIS HENRY AND THE OLD SETTLER"
Character Sketch of the Olympia Pioneer and the Story
His Poem, Once the Favorite Song at All Gatherings
and Frolics of Early Days.

The following character sketch of
Francis Henry, the famous Olympia
pioneer, author of "The Old Settler"
appeared recently in the Post-Intelli-
gencer in the gossipy Seattle Day
by Day" column:
at seems probable that gone for
ever are the good old days of ease,
which old settlers still tell about, and
which many still living on Puget
Sound know about-the days when
content was every mans portion if he
wanted it. Those were the days when
there were few worries as to the state
of the householder's larder. Clothes
were matter of minor Importance
and private yachts and automobiles
were undreamed luxuries. There was
no social strife, for there was one
common level on which all lived.
"In those days there lived rare
old philosopher named Francis Henry,
for he knew how to be happy. Henry
was writer both of prose and verse;
wrote now forgotten novel and
many stories and articles. He was a
constantly contributor to John Miller
Murphy's paper. the Olympia STAND
ARD. In fact, he and Murphy had much
in common and were cronies. Both
were unique figures in territorial his
tory.
"The thing which best embodied
Henry's cheerful philosophy was a

FIELDER SEES REASON FOR THANKS
IN FREEDOM FROM WARS ALARMS

sideration of our citizens to those
blessings of peace and prosperity
which as State and as nation we
have enjoyed during the past year.
The passing days carry their meas
ure of defeats and successes; the
speeding years bring their sorrows
and their joys, but as the world
moves on toward that ideal state
when enmity, jealousy and covetous-
ness in mems hearts shall be sup
planted by charity and love for their
brothers, the days and years contain
fresh reasons for happiness and re-
joicing. For reasons best known to
an all-wise Providence a horrid con-
fiict is waging among the warning ma !.
tons of Europe, carrying death and
devastation In it's train and present.
ing to us, by striking CONT asst, the
magnitude of those blessings which
flow from international peace and the
contentment of that prosperity which
follows fruitful fields and bounteous
harvests. For our happy condition
the thanks of a devout people should
be rendered to the Creator and Ruler
of the universe.
Therefore, l, James +. Fielder,
governor of the State of New Jersey,
do designate Thursday, the twenty
sixth day of November, nineteen hum
dred and fourteen, as a day to be OBJ
served by general thanksgiving and
prayer, recommending that upon that
day all business cease and that our
people, either in their churches, in
their homes or other places, do make
fitting acknowledgment to Aim ghty
God for his blessings and benefac-
lions to them as individuals and to
our State and nation"

HOLD HEARING ON
STATE FINANCES
Appropriations Committee to
Begin Its Sessions at Tren-
ton Next Monday.
Special to the Evening Star.

TRENTON, Nov. 11.-State Senator
Charles O'Connor Hennessy, of Ber-
gen county, announced today that the
first of the public hearings to be held
by the joint appropriations commit
tee of the Legislature # 1914, OF
which he is chairman, for the pur-
pose of taking testimony with regard
to the administration of certain State
departments and institutions, will oc-
cur in the Senate chamber next Mon
dav morning, November 16, at II
o'clock.
Regarding the coming hearings
Senator Hennessy said today: II can
not, without further conference with
my associates on the committee, in
dictate precisely the matters the COM
mittee will go into. We have de-
ferred public hearings until after
election in order that our investiga-
tons might not appear to be c"n-
Quoted for any immediate political
effect. We were especially commits
stoned by the last Legislature to in
quire into the business methods and
expenditures of various departments
and institutions with the idea of be-
ing able to recommend economies and
reforms to the next Legislature. As
q result of Investigations made by
gators employed by it we have oh
tanned much interesting data about
certain departments though the
time at our disposal and the engage
mentss of the members of the COM
mittee did not permit as extensive
Investigations in some directions as
might he desired.
1.-The administration of the. State
bond department the problem of the
care of the feeble-minded and the in
sane, the inland waterway project,
the general question of the admins
tration of the State charitable and
correctional institutions and the in
terstate Palisades Park have been
special subjects of inquiry. cannot
at this time, of course, foreshadow
the conclusions of our committee
The more important matters will be
made the subject of sworn testimony
taken In public"
