said positively that it would be i'm
possible to log at profit under sucf
law. George Hubble was as certain
that the milling industry would suf

rancher and truck gardener, said the
law would set back the farmer te
where it would be impossible to dt
business at a profit.
The general concensus of opinion
was the eight-hour law as proposed

ARE NOT AFRAID
OF THE TARIFF
Puget Sound Shingle Men
Discuss the Trade. Super
ior Product Wins

SEATTLE, May 1S.-What is re-
garded as the most optimistic meeting
in four years, in so far as the future
of the trade is concerned, was held
at the home and shingle plant of John
McMaster, the dean Of shingle manu-
facturers, at Kenmore today by 100
prominent manufacturers and jobbers
of Puget Sound. Thursday.
With several leaders Of the business
as speakers, it was emphatically de-
clared that recent inquiries from
country yards spelled brighter time
ahead for shingles, and the visitors
we're inclined to look with better IA
vor on the situation brought about by
the new tariff laws in the position
that British Columbia could not com
pete with the product of Puget Sound
because that product was SO far su
perior.
The visitors we're the guests of Mr.
McMaster, who had been in the trade
for rs years. His home was turned
over to the guests Of the day for
luncheon and trade talks. L. R. Fifer
was master of ceremonies.
Do Not Fear Competition
Mr.. Fifer said that the lumber or
ganizations would be marged in a
social way with the newly incorporat
ed Lumbermen's club, and that all
Washington business men who par
ticipated in the industry, directly OF
indirectly, were to be asked to join
He outlined the uses of such a clut
to the many visiting lumbermen from
the East during the Panama exposi
ton next year.
I'VE don't fear competition from
British Columbia, regardless of the
tariff laws, with shingles like Mr.. Nc
Master makes" said G. c. Bronson
"If all our manufacturers turned ou
the best product possible the tariff
laws, so far as Canada is concerned
would make no difference to our bust
ness"

MARBLE TALKS
ON INITIATIVE
Legislative Leader from Jeff

Impending Measures

The slim attendance at the meet.
ing called last night at the city han
to discuss the initiative bills now be-
fore the people does not encourages
the friends of the initiative as a prin-
ciple. To be sure, the meeting was
called suddenly and without the ~
tice necessary to get out a crowd
If the principle of the initiative an1
referendum is to be upheld, or If Z
means anything to those interested
and that's all of us-there must -
more interest manifested than va
evidenced by Aberdeen voters Last
night.
Not more than fifty persons, ana
not a suffragette among them, was
present, to stop before they hit tbe
crossing, look as they approached the
grade and listen for the bell. The o.
casion was more than simply import
ant. 1t was significant. Either Al
erdeen was not duly notified of tho
meeting or its citizens are DULY il
different.

REPUBLICANS
ARE HOPEFUL
Chehalis County Central Com
mittee Meets and Fixes
County Convention
ABERDEEN JUNE THE 2l
Chairman Rupp is Hopeful.
Says Progressives May
Return If Submissive

The Chehalis county republican
central committee met in this city,
Saturday, and decided to hold the
Chehalis county convention Monday,
June l, in Aberdeen; adopted a reso.
luton providing for holding central
caucuses to nominate delegates to
the state convention, the power of
selection being first in precincts rep
resented, but in case of the failure Of
precincts to nominate the full caucus
to have such power; gave authority
to a committee Of two of the county
central committee to fill such va
cancies in the committee as have oc-
Cured through death, resignation or
removal, and listened to an inspiring
talk by w. A. Rupp, chairman Of the
republican state central committee
The attendance was large from all
parts Of the county and it was most
enthusiastic. Chairman Rupp put ad-
ditional enthusiasm into the meeting
when he said that the outlook for get
ting a republican legislature and for
republican victory was most encourag-
ing.
"In fact, every move which the DEM
ocratic administration makes adds
just that much more certainty of re-
publican success" he said.
Straightforward RepubIieanism.
He thought that the republicanism
which the state convention would
adopt would be progressive, but not
progressive with a large "P." He
said there should be a plank in the
platform which would compel a nomi-
nee of the party to declare for the
principles of the party and stand
for them. He thought there should
be a plank favoring representation in
the national convention for Southern
delegates according to the republican
vote cast in the Southern states.
AS to Col. Roosevelt, he said that in
his opinion he would only be a stan
dardbearer provided he stood for the
party platform and not that the plat
form be made to suit the colonefs
particular views. Mr.. Rupp said that
according to information from many
parts Of the state, there was decided
inclination on the part of progressives
to return to the party fold, but that
it was the sentiment of the old party
leaders that the progressives If they
returned be not brought back with
sugar on the doorstep.

CAMP RESUMES

MONTESANO, May 1S.-After be-
ing closed down for several months
one camp Of the logging works of c.
Fl. Clemons at Melbourne has resum.
ed operations. Seventy-five men are
employed now and, if the market i'm
proves, more will be put ON. Mr..
Clemons says there has been no i'm
provement in the log or lumber mar
ket, but he has hopes that they will
be a demand for logs in the fall, at
better price than has prevailed for
some time. He thinks the opening of
the canal, with the greatly reduced
freight charges to the Atlantic coast,
will greatly aid the lumber market,
and there also will be a prospect then
for European sales.

of old married couples in the shape

legislative committee, and the erec.
tion in Kitsap county Of a veterans

Blood Tonic Has
important Meaning
Puts the Right Sort of Vim
Where Most Needed.

:. To tone the blood means to enable 1t to
throw of accumulated impurities, to in
crease the red corpuscles and to put the
blood-making organs into such active condi-
tlon as to produce that conscious sensation
of what we feel as health.
This Is the logical effect Of using the
famous blood purifier, S. S. s.
Half the people you meet complain of
weary muscles, stagnant brain. tangled
nerves. and a wonderful desire to lay down
and just quit. Most of these people have
been using nervines that spasmodcally flare
up the nerves only to die down again. as
die they must. Avoid nerve stimulants.
Scar In mind that this worn-out feeling Is
due to poor blood, to bacteria in the water
you drink; to the multiplying of destruc-
tive germs in the blood faster than they
can be overcome by the white corpusces;
and to what is known as auto-toxemia that
condition where the venOus or impure blood
accumulates faster than it can be replaced
by the red arterial blood.
s. 3. s. has long been famous as a blood
purifier and its action by elimination of
the irritating poisons that infest the blood,
Is one of the very important things to know.

$4,000 REVERTS
To THE TREASURY
Mothers Pension Boards Did Not
Organize as Early as They
Should Have Done

Only $4,000 of the 100000 set aside
for mothers pensions during the fiscal
year ending May 81 was used and
more than 100000 which might have
been employed in pensions has re-
verted to the State Treasury under the
fiscal laws of the State. The Legis-
lature of 1913 provided an appropria-
tion of 100000 to carry the pension
plan into effect, but so much time was
spent in getting through preliminary
steps in counties, which were neces-
sary before appointments of trustees
could be made by the Governor, that
comparatively few counties were or
ganiZed before March !.
Seven counties have accepted the
act through county commissioners and
trustees are now administering the
funds. In May $2.106 was paid for
pensions, making the highest month.
The counties contributed an equal
sum.
