According to Chas. s. Mellen, who
gave evidence in the New Haven rail-
road inquiry Of a most sensational
nature, but which was not surprising
to many, the idea Of government own
ership Of railways has gained much
impetus, even among the big railroad
men. This is certainly surprising ana
denotes wonderful change in opinion,
as it was but recently that these men
could see no good whatever IN such an
undertaking. He said in part:
"Men who are honestly managing d
railroad corporation for its stockhold-
ers, would just as soon manage It for
the government. They are working
for the salary and the public service
in either case, and when once the pub
lie feels confident that their work is
honest and patriotic, their position
will be honorable, and this honor will
compensate them even more than their
salaries.

inevitable. I did not think, however.

Every voter in Morrison county
should avail himself next TUESDAY Of
the opportunity Of casting his vote in
the primaries for the candidates Of
his choice. The primary laws have
conferred this light on the voter and
it is his duty to exercise his preroga-
tive. The vote on judges and county
officers is non-partisan, giving
to those' belonging to the several
parties the right to select nominees
from the same ticket. There are also
the partisan state and congressional
tickets, republican, democratic and
progressive, which have opposition
candidates, and the voter should make
his selection as to the ones he desires
as his party standard bearers during
the coming fall campaign.

$4,000 FIRE AT YELM.
Whitlatch Lumber Company's Entire
Plant Total Loss.

Yelm was the scene of a disas-
trous fire last Saturday night, incur
ring a loss of $4,000, when the
Whitlatch Lumber company's entire
plant and the lumber in it's yards
were burned by fire which started
in less than an hour after the plant
had closed, according to the Yelm
Times. The blaze, which was of un-
known origin, was discovered in the
shingle mill and though it was small
there it spread so rapidly that the
fre-fighting apparatus was put out
of commission before it could be got
ten into service.
The fire was confined very largely
to the main plant, so that most of the
buildings and workmen's houses sur
rounding it were not destroyed, the
blaze burning the old office, two
small houses, the company barn and
warehouse in addition to the mill
itself. The loss is estimated at $780,
900, covered by $4,000 insurance,
and some SO men were thrown out
of employment. Whether the plant
will be rebuilt or not has not been
announced.

Ing the amount in the treasury, sub

MANY ATTEND JOINT PICNIC OF

POMONAS.

The members of the Pomona
Oranges of ThurstOn and Mason
counties had great time" at the
joint picnic and clam-bake Tuesday,
as the following report shows:
Editor Washington Standard,
''The joint picnic at Sager's land
ing, Mason county, Tuesday was an
occasion long to be remembered by
the Changers of both Mason and
Thurston counties. The grounds are
admirably located at the waters
edge, with nice stream of spring
water, an easy approach by both land
and water, and table room for 100
people, which proved far too small
for Tuesdays crowd which numbered
nearly 800. The Lark took over
IA Thurston county members, from
Pleasant Glade, Spurgeon Creek,
Boulevard, Chambers Prairie, Brigh-
ton Park and Alert Oranges, while
Mason county was represented by
Agate, Progress, Lincoln and Shelton
subordinates, with Scott Hays, mas
ter of the Mason County Pomona,
chairman of the occasion.
1.-THE program given by the Mason
county members was enjoyed by all,
while interesting speeches were made
by Fred w. Chamberlain, noted for
his humorous and pithy remarks !;
Fred w. Lewis, secretary of the State
Grange, who invited the Mason coun-
ty members to join with Thurston's
in the latter's annual picnic at Priest
Point park this month; J. T. Comp
ton of Chelan county; c. e. Flint of
Blaine; H. P. Briggs, master Of the
Thurston County Pomona; B. l..

sidered it class legislation.

PORTIONS REFERRING TO BURN
ING OF SLASHINGS ARE
REPRINTED.

At the request of several subscrib-
ers, the following portions of the
state fire laws for the protection of
the forests, is reprinted, having been
selected by E. w. Ferris, state for
ester and fire warden, as being the
ones he thought the general public
was most interested in:
"Section s. No one shall burn any
forest material within any county in
this state in which there is warden
or ranger during the months of June

which period is hereby designated as
the closed season, without first OBJ

be fined not less than twenty-five dol

which shall be only such as the board
deems necessary for the protection of
life or property.
May Revoke Permits.
"The forester, any of his assistants,
any warden or ranger, may at his dis

Of adjacent property.

GREAT BATTLE SOON
IN EUROPEAN WAR
STRICT CENSORSHIP MAKES
NEWS HARD TO GET-GER-
MANS ENTER BELGIUM

The strictest news censorship OF
modern times has made the obtain
ing of authentic war news, or any
war news for that matter, so difficult
that it is hard to determine what is
occurring in war-ridden Europe. No
great battles have yet been fought,
SO far as can be learned, except the
German attack on the city of Liege,
Belgium, where, though they are re-
ported to have occupied the city, dis
patches say the Belgians still hold
the forts.
A decisive battle is expected mo-
mentarily, somewhere along the Bel
gian-German border. According to
London advices, the 26 corps of the
German army, exclusive of the re-
serve and the Landstrum, the last
line of defense, are located between
Liege and Luxemburg, indicating
that the main attack of the German
army, Is through Luxemburg and Bel
GUM, though the Kaiser has stated
the siege of Liege is not part of the
real campaign which is to develop.
Germans Mass 2,OOO,OOO Men.
Two million men are said to be-
concentrated on the French north
east frontier. forming huge army
of invasion. The German advance
troops are pushing forward and
though they have not yet been dis
puted in force. their progress IL ex-
pected to give rise to the FIRST great
battle of the war with the Belgians
and their French and English allies,
whose position is not definitely
known.
The latest news Of the war can be
summarized as follows:
FROM Berlin German successes are
annoInced at Muelhausen and La
Garde. with the taking OF many
French prisoners and the clearing Of
German territory Of the French. The
French, however. deny defeat.
OFOtD6IB SCOUT 000s
IN their sndeavor to keep the
st4Amshit routes clear ON the Attain
tic, the British and French govern
ments have sent out cruisers and
armed merchant vessels to search
for German craft.
The combined Montenegrin and
Servian invasion Of Bosnia has be-
gun.
Germans are said to admit heavy
losses on the Russian frontier,
though they are reported to be mass
ing 100000 men, six batteries and 81
cavalry regiments there.
Canada is shipping great Quanti-
ties of arms and ammunition to the
Pacific coast.
AS to the news of what Is happen
ing on the sea. that is still more un-
der the control Of the censorship than.
land movements. Reports Of en-
gagements at various places appear
to have no foundation in fact.
