GARDNER SUES RAILROAD
WOild Prevent Abandonment of Part
of Line Near Sherlock.

Suit to test the right of the North
ern Pacific to abandon that portion
OF its present Grays Harbor line in
the Nisqually bottom made practi-
cally unnecessary to it by the PIT. De-
iiance cutoff, between Coylston and
the new station to be known as Mis-
qually, which would in effect wipe
Sherlock off the map, has been
brought in the local superior court
by Ole Gardner of Sherlock, and it is
understood that nearly everybody
living in that vicinity is indirectly in
terested in the suit. Gardner claims
that his property, consisting of 800
acres valued at $4,000 and his hotel
business would be entirely destroyed
if the road were abandoned.

MEDIATION IS OFFERED
President PrOffers His Aid-Pro-
claims Nations Neutrality.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August T.
The United States government Wed
nesday protfered mediation to the
warning European powers.
GAS official head of one of the
powers signatory to The Hague con-
vention," President Wilson cabled to
London, Berlin, Paris, St. Petersburg
and Vienna, II feel it my privilege
and duty under Article 8, to say to
you in a spirit of earnest friendship
that | should welcome the opportuni-
ty to act in the interest of peace in
Europe, now, or at any other time
that might be thought suitable"
Previously the neutrality Of the
United States had been formally pro-
claimed by the president. Reciting
the fact that "a state of war unhap-
PLY exists between Austria Hungary
and Servia, and between Germany
and Russia, and between Germany
and France" with which powers the
United States is on terms of friend
ship and amity, the president warned
all American citizens and foreigners
resident in the United States against
the neutrality laws.
Citizens of the United States
abroad were given notice that any
misconduct on their part would be at
their own peril.

EXCAVATION EXPLAINED.
Railroad Building Temporary Bulk
head, Commissioners Say.

Complaints that the O.-W. r. & NJ,
in excavating for the tunnel from the
entrance on the south side of the
road in front of the Israel place, had
carried the exterior work SO far back
as to endanger the county road, were
explained by the county commission
ers this week in the statement that
the railroad company had been COM
PEELED to excavate in that way In or
der to construct a bulkhead to keep
the sandy bank from continually
slipping.
The work is being done under the
close supervision of the county engi-
neer, the commissioners say, and
work on that side has been stopped
pending the erection of a temporary
wooden bulkhead, which is to be sup
planted later by concrete. Should
any slides occur at that point as the
result of the excavations to such an
extent that the roadway is injured
the railroad will be liable for all
damages, the commissioners say.

PRESIDENT IS CALM
Urges People Not to "LOse Heads"-
Wars Effect Only Temporary.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August T.
President Wilson appealed this week
to the press of the country not to
publish any sensational or unveri-
fed statements concerning the Euro
pean war. He declared that the
United States was prepared to meet
any financial situation which might
arise from the war. Unfounded
newspaper reports, he said, might
cause unreasonable alarm.
The president told the correspond
ents that America could reap great
and lasting glory by "seeing that no
one lost his head"
$50 far as this country is concern
ed." said President Wilson, 1.-The ex-
citement is without cause. There
will be some temporary inconven-
ience to the money market, exchan-
ges and in the handling of crops, but
America is absolutely prepared to
meet the financial situation and
straighten out everything without
difficulty
The president urged calmness, say
ing bankers and business men every
where were cooperating with the ad-
ministration's efforts to prevent even
the semblance of a panic.

WAR IN EUROPE
REALLY RACE FIGHT
OLD STRUGGLE BETWEEN
SLAV AND TEUTONS
What's at the bottom of the great

What's at the bottom of the great
European war?
It's most complicated situation.
Primarily, it is a struggle between
the Slavs and the Teutons, therefore
racial struggle, breaking out of
that racial hatred which has been
smoldering for years. The fact is,
the present conflict between the
Slavs and Teutons has been pending
for r2ore than century but has been
successfully avoided at many serious
crises. 1t is due primarily to the
conflicting interests of Russia and
Austria, Russia persisting in her re-
lentless, ruthless extension of her en-
pire to an open sea on the south, and
Austria equally determined to extend
her empire and influence.
Austria has been constantly forced
to energetic measures to check the
centrifugal forces that are constantly
at work seeking the dismemberment
Of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
Austria must rule Bosnia and Her.
gezovina with an. iron hand to keep
them from breaking back to Servia.
A strong Servia means unrest among
Austria's subject Serbs. On the other
hand, the suppression of Serb ambi-
ton Is antagonistic to Russian ideals
rs the protector of the Slav nationali-
ties.
Powers Really Responsible.
The powers of Europe, In their
many efforts to prevent the conflict
between the Teutons and the Slav,
are really responsible for the present
warlike conditions. They acquiesced
in the working of injustice to Servia.
They permitted Austria to take from
Turkey the original Servian prov
inces of Bosnia and Herzegovina In
1908. They thwarted the arrange
ment by which Servia was to receive
a large share of Albania, as spoils
of the Balkan war. Feeling against
Austria has been high in Servia ever
since the Austrian seizure OF Bosnia
and Herzegovina and 1t grew yet

The announcement by the Ford
Motor Car company, of which the
Bronson & La Cue Auto company OF
East Fourth street are the local rep
resentatives, that prices for 1915
would be reduced $50 on each model
Immediately and that it would return
from $40 to $50 more on each car
sold between now and August l.
1915, providing their sales reach
100000 cars, caused a great stir In
the automobile world. The Ford has
been big seller in this territory In
the past and the new prices Will
doubtless make it still more popular.

JUDGESH|P RACE IS
FULL OF INTEREST
THIS, LEGISLATIVE AND CLERK
SHIP CONTEST MAKE PRI-
MARY LIVELY.

With Assistant Attorney General
John M. Wilson, Attorney c. D. King
and Judge c. e. Claypool, the present
incumbent, all of this county, and at
torney d. w. Wright of Shelton, re-
ported to have the solid backing of
Mason county, in the race, the con-
test for the primary nomination for
superior Judge in the district COM
prising Thurston and Mason counties
promises to be as exciting as any in
the primary campaign in this neigh
borhood. All four of these men we're
candidates for the place when Gov
ernor Lister appointed Judge Clay
pool.
Not that there are no other con-
tests-far from it. Take the county
clerkship, for example-for it the
present deputy, Phil Skillman. James
Il. Stanford of the county treasurer's
office, and City Clerk l. N. Holmes are
in the running, while the little matter
Of choosing two Republican candi-
dates for the two representatives
from this county looks like 1t is going
to bring forth rather interesting
sidelight on things political, for there
appear w. Dean Hays. who served
during the last session, T. D. Rock
we'll, former state tax commissioner,
Lewis ]. Morrison, one time county
auditor, and Mrs. Kate l.. Young, all
out latter the bacon" and persistent
rumors that at least one more will
appear.
Most Interest in Judgesh1p.
But it's around the judgeship that
most of the joshing and most OF the
interest now seems to circle, though
the legislative and the clerkship fight
aren't far back when 1t comes to at
tracing attention. 1t is not neces-
sary, of course, to mention that all OF
these contests lie within the Republi-
can ranks, save the judgeship, natur-
ally. which by all that is good and
holy and the laws of the state, Is
! non-partisan affair. Inasmuch as su-
perior Judges are elected in presiden-
tial years, the present election Is for
two-year term.
This does not mean, of course, that
the nominees on the Republican tick
ct will be minus that little incentive
styled opposition when the real cam
paign, the election campaign, comes
on. for all reports are that the Pc
titions which are being circulated
throughout the county. calling a mass
convention of voters Of all parties to
select a non-partisan ticket primary
day. are receiving widespread en-
doresment and many signers. And
this is going to be an infusion and not
a confusion ticket, which, being IN
terpreted. means the infusion OF new
blood into the management OF the
county's affairs.

PEOPLE TO VOTE ON
FIVE DIRECT BILLS
hackers OF "SEvEN SISTERS"
BRING SUIT ON TWO
MEASURES.

Withsthe official count of all of the
initiative petitions completed, show
ing five of the nine filed entitled to a
place on the ballot this fall, interest
SO far as these are concerned now
centers in the outcome of the pro-
ceedings to be heard by Superior
Judge Claypool next Wednesday,
when Secretary of State l. M. Howell
has been cited to appear to show
cause why writ of mandate should
not be issued to compel him to GER
tify initiative measures Nos. and 10
on the ballot.
The citation was issued this week
on formal application of the hackers
of the "seven sisters" and the bills
in question are those providing for
the abolition Of the bureau of inspec-
tion and for the "anti-pork barrel"
road bill. No action Of this charac-
ter has been brought on the fish bill
or the bill abolishing the tax COM
mission, two others of the "seven
sisters which failed to win place
on the ballot, though similar suit
on the tax commission measure is
also expected. What action will be
taken on the fish bill has not been
decided.
But three Of the ''seven sisters"
will go on the ballot, unless the su-
perior court of Thurston county, on
q review of the cheek, decides that
some of the signatures thrown out
were discarded illegally.
The check, finished Monday, show
ed the fish bill to be 1887 short and
the bill abolishing the tax commits
sion 622 short. The secretary of
state is certain that these figures will
stand. as are the other officials who
have watched the count.
Following is the official count,
compared to the preliminary count,
1886 signers being necessary to Sc
cure a place on the ballot:
No. 6 (Blue sky) preliminary
count, 3s,032: official count, 32,144;
over, 308.
No. Z (bureau Of inspection) pre-
count, 32,437; official count,
31,418; under, 418.
No. 8 employment agency prelim-
mary count, 33,1O6; official count,
32,356, over, $40.
No. 8 (first add preliminary count,
32,85O; official count 1850, over IA.
No. 10 (road) preliminary count,
32,236; official count, 31,015, under,

1887.
No. IL (tax commission) prelimi-
nary count, 32,18O; official count, 3D.

The other two measures to be vot-
ed on this fall are the statewide pro-
