NAMED the property of the state.
In addition to this land, the title
to which already is vested in the state
of Washington, upwards of 500, 600
more acres will be obtained eventu-
ally, in school sections and other
lands which are principally tied up in
national forests at the present time.
Exclusive of the capitol grant and
what has already been sold, this will
bring the total area of state lands to
more than 100000 acres, money
derived from the sale of this going
into the permanent funds.
The amount already in the perma-
nent funds is S11,643,800, practi-
cally all invested in county, city and
school district bonds, the report of
the state treasurer shows, indicating
the possibilities of enriching the state
school funds and consequently reduc-
ing taxes through business-like hand
ling of the states assets.

KEEPS EAST GUESSING
Dodge Brothers Mystery Car Excites
Auto World.

With the exception of a tendency
toward conservative buying on the
part of automobile purchasers, the
European war has affected the auto
mobile trade to very small extent in
the East, according to A. L. Philip,
general sales manager for Dodge
Brothers. Philip has just returned
from a two weeks trip to New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and other East
ern points and is enthusiastic over
prospects for the coming year.
II found new firms being organic
ed and incorporated for the sale of
motor cars in every city visited on
my trip" said Philip. Seemingly the
dealers in the East are preparing for
a big year, as every one talked with

had increased his orders materially
for 1915 deliveries.
Zone thing that served as source
of considerable surprise and gratifi-
cation to me was the great interest
shown by prospective buyers in the
new car which Dodge Brothers will
bring out for 1915. While l was pre-
pared to find the trade interested, the
fact that we have done little or no adj
vertising in that section had led me
to believe that few purchasers were
acquainted with Dodge Brothers
plans. Many prospects in the East
have informed our dealers that they
intend postponing their purchase OF
an automobile until they have seen

Mr. Philip says that the selling or
ganization for Dodge Brothers in the
East is rapidly nearing completion
and he found dealers and prospects
alike eagerly awaiting shipments Of
the first cars from the factory. 1t is
expected that Dodge Brothers will
ship the first car some time this
month.

LARGE TRUST FUND
FOR STATE SCHOOLS
PERMANENT ENDOWMENT OF
$92,OOO,OOO LIKELY If
PROPERLY HANDLED

BY the practice of intelligent con-
servation and exercise of good bust
ness judgment the permanent educa-
tional funds of the state of Wash
ington can be brought eventually to
a total of $92,250, 1000, according to
r. E. Skaggs, member of the state tax
commission and ex-officio member Of
the state land board.
Such a sum would produce annual
revenue of more than 100000 for
the support of the common schools
and other state educational institu-
lions, lessening taxes to this extent.
Were this entire sum available now
it would meet all the states portion
of educational expense.
The state has received from the
federal government to date total of
2,566,784 acres of land, including the
state capitol grant. Up to October
1, 1914, according to the biennial
land Office report, 625,079 acres of
this had been sold, or approximately

Declaring legislative by initiation

the interests of both employers and
employees will be best served by the
defeat of initiative No. 9. The state
has been gathering complete data on
this important question, including the
first aid provisions made in other
states and foreign countries, and the
results which have followed their
operations.
"The proper manner in which to
draw law of such technical nature
would be to study all the data on the
question and to consider the interests
of all parties concerned. Such a
course would not only assure better
measure, but would also assure a
whole-hearted acceptance of it by all
and more general and willing appli-
cation of it's provisions.

81 have already declared that in
the event that initiative No. 8 be de-
feated, l shall Immediately appoint a
commission of both employers and

ture such first aid provisions as in

The charge that the county commissioners do
most of their road work by day labor and employ
Thurston county men and teams from the section
where the road work is being done, will not get
the men making it very far. Local patriotism
and self-interest will approve the course Of the
county commissioners in their attempt to keep
Thurston county money at home for the develop
ment of Thurston county. It is pity that we
haven't more men in Thurston county with that
same disposition.
But in this matter as in the other the course of
the commissioners has resulted in saving money
to the county. Take the case of the job of work
done at the George Pearce place on the Pearce
road The contractors estimated that to be
worth ST 200 and yet day labor accomplished it
at little over $500. Some saving that If space
permitted specific instance after specific instance
could be cited that would show similar results
The county engineer was in active charge of

he learned that it had cost but $4,000 per mile,
that poorer roads in Pierce cost them over $4,000
to the mile
For the first time in the history Of the county
engineers office the records have been kept in
conformity with the law and all roads and
bridges inspected and reported upon. OF course
if the law was not complied with his critics would
throw ''fit'' and start the knockers chorus,
but since be has done SO they blame him for MAX
ing the county pay for it.
Billy Yeager is too busy with his official
duties to give much time to his political ones so,
Mr.. Voter, you will have to excuse him if he does
not call upon you, but we are sure that you will
approve of his course and re-elect him.
The candidate for county school superintend-
ent, 0. G. Goss, is the principal Of the Lincoln
school in Olympia, which place he has held ever
since coming to the county native of Indiana,
high school graduate and also graduate of the
Ellensburg State Normal, he has made teaching
his life's work and had devoted his energies to
the common school or grammar grades.
AS fully Is per cent of the work of the county
superintendent deals with the grades up to and
including the eighth, it will be seen that it is of
the utmost importance that man in this posi-
ton should be in touch and in sympathy with that
class of work
Mr.. Goss is not politician as this is his first
entrance into politics and his first race for office.
His principal opponent is now making his fourth
attempt for this place and in addition has been
engaged in high school work exclusively for nine
years past.

County commissioners are always the target Of
criticism and abuse and particularly so if they
are candidates seeking reelection.
The case of T. j. McBratney and Sam Gibson
is proving no exception to the rule, as they have
been the object of systematic attempt on the
part of their political opposition for more than
year past both by an investigating committee
and taxpayers league manipulated by Demo
Gratis in each instance, as well as through the col
ulnns Of the press. Without single exception,
however, their critics have taken certain acts of
theirs and misrepresented those acts to the pub
lie All of the facts in any given case have been
withheld from the voters and only such portions
made public as would suit the caprice Of the in
vestigatOrs.
Take the emergency bridge contracts as an
ample. A few days after the present commits
sioners took Office unusually high water in the
Skookumchuck river carried out the O'ConnOr
bridge located on the Bucoda- Centralia road,
which is Of the main arteries of travel in that
section, and absolutely closed it. The same food
undermined the new Bannse bridge and dropped
one end of it into the river.
What were the commissioners to do? Adver-
tisc for period Of three weeks and permit the
roads to be closed to travel that much longer and
also lose the new steel Bannse bridge declare
an emergency, let the contract for new bridge
at the site of the old O'Connor bridge, remove
the new steel bridge from the Bannse site to the
site Of the old Prince bridge, where new bridge
would have to be built iii the course of a few
months at any rate, and then have bridge built
long enough to suit the changed river conditions
at the Bannse place? Here was condition of
affairs brought about by an act of God The
first course indicated would be good politics but
mighty poor business, the second course poor
politics but good business The commissioners
unhesitatngy chose the latter and thus saved the
taxpayers money and the residents of that section
the embarrassment of being kept from the
of their roads.
Another case is the Prather bridge. In this
instance the county had no money in the Road
and Bridge fund and the only way to get the
necessary funds was to declare an emergency and
thus pledge the credit of the county for the work
Remember, Mr. Taxpayer and Voter, that in
all of these cases there just the same competi-
ton in the bidding these bridges that there
would have been in case the ordinary advertising
campaign was carried on. The board and the
county engineer notified each and every bridge
company from far and near of the contemplated
work and all companies had free opportunity
to compete and more of them did compete than
ordinarily do under the weekly paper advertis-
ing idea.
The Coast Bridge Co. was successful simply
because it's bids were in every case the lowest sub
mitted and all the yell about that company being
especially favored is pure Chunk, simply case
of wanting to hold the county up and losing out
in the deal.

MACNATES AFTER
PLOW CITY TEAM
President Justice and Other Of
ficials Arrive in Moline for
Conference.

President NJ E. Justice of the Cen
trail Baseball association, accompanied
by Belden Hill of Cedar Rapids and A.
F. Lawrence of Muscatfne, arrived in
Moline today for the purpose of con-
ferring with Moline baseball fans, en-
thusiasts and any other interested in
the project of league ball this summer
for the city. Prominent business men
of Moline are greatly in favor Of league
baseball this year and disposed to al
low the association to enter the city,
but whether or not the Three-Eye
league will consent to waive its terri
torial rights is a matter of conjecture.
1t is a positive fact that baseball in
Moline would hinder attendance in both
Rock Island and Davenport, providing
the former city gets into the Three
Eye fold, and for that reason Tearney
may not desire to surrender the terri
torial claim he holds.
President Justice is in favor of the
business men of Moline organizing for
the purpose of taking the matter up in
definite form, and believes that the
city will have league baseball in 1914.
Whether or not his superstition is cor
rect remains to be seen.

Wee gladiators of the roped arena

! Eddie Campi, pride of the Pacific
coast, and Kid Williams, the Baltimore
walloper. collide in Tom McCarey's
Vernon ring in a scheduled 20-round
clash for the near bantam weight hon.
ors. McCarey is telling the world
that the winner will be heralded as
champion of the 116-pound division,
but one Jawn Coulon, residing in
Chicago, considers this announcement
bit far-fetched, inasmuch as he is
the present wearer of the titular re-
gala.
, That the winner of today's combat
and Coulon will meet some time in the
near future in bona fide champion
ship muss is the surest thing you
know. In fact, Johnny has written
McCrary authorizing him to arrange
a championship match, one that will
be staged after Coulon has engaged
in two or three bruising mills with
bantams who are rated several de-
grees better than second raters. On
dope Williams looks to be the logical
winner in the Vernon tilt He is
stronger than the coast flash,
rugged, willing mixer, thoroughly
schooled in the art of infighting, and,
moreover, he has scored a victory
over Campi.
Sinnet Wants Battle.
young" frankie Sinnet of Rock Is
land, the game little scrapper who
shaded the champion, Johnny Coulon,

like to meet the best of them. Sim

has classed him at the top of the lad
der, and his ability to take an awful
beating and then retaliate during the
last few rounds, turning apparent de-
feat into victory, has classed him as a
modern Battling" Nelson.
Sinnet does not intend that promot-
ers shall count him out of the running
in spite of the fact that most of the
Chicago papers can see nothing but
Coulon. And at that frankie is the
favorite of the American, Inter-Ocean |

George Chip. the middIeweight
champ. didn't find the way to his pres
ent fistic prestige n primrose path.
The Madison miner in his earlier
struggles had a pretty tough time of
it and only a great amount OF per-
isistence and determination brought
MIN to the place he holds today.
When Chip first started to make his
mark in the fight game he won most
OF the bouts he took part in, but il
was some while before he rose from
the prelim class. While a very green
kid with little experience he was sis ga
cd with Buck Grouse, a veteran per
former. and Chip suffered a k. o. in
the third round. At that point in his
career he had never been paid any
sort of a purse and his defeat at the
hands of Grouse was discouraging.
The ring game didn't look as bright
and rosy as he had thought when he
started out and he was just about
ready to resign However, he finally
