and Mr.. Autisdel just makes me sick
with his flattering attentions.
HE puts his arm about me when
we walk out to dinner. He holds my
hand while he tells me long-winded
stories. He kisses me when he comes
in and when he goes out.
Nov, Margie, will you please tell
me what right a man of his age has
to think that such attentions are
pleasant to me?"
'He don't think of you, my dear,
he only thinks these attentions are
pleasant to him."

would think if when Jack was home
Mrs. Autisdel would fondle him in this
way? They would consider her a per-

woman and yet they look on compla-

COMMITTEE GOES
TO WASHINGTON
Will Urge Extension Of North
Crays Harbor Jetty as An
Urgent Necessity
ARMED WITH STATISTICS
Government Will be Asked
to Deepen Water on Bar
For its Own Protection

w. B. Mack and Hugh c. Delanty,
OF Aberdeen, and Frank H. Lamb, of
Hoquiam, the committee selected to
represent Chehalis county at the Ma
Capital in the fight for a 5,55O-foot
extension to the north jetty will leave
Sunday for the East armed with a
portfolio of statistics concerning the
resources and possibilities of the
Grays Harbor watershed. Mr.. Lamb
goes at considerable personal sacri-
flee in place of Alex Poison, who
found it would be impossible for him
to go at this time.
Tributary to the Grays Harbor wa
tershed is 117,625 100000 feet of
standing timber, the greatest body of
untouched timber in the world. ac-
cording to the report made to the
general committee fighting for the ex.
tension Of the north jetty, by a sub
committee appointed to compile the
timber data Of the distfict.
Jetty Will Save Loss.
This committee. which submitted
it's report Wednesday to Chairman w.
j. Patterson, of the general commit
tee, consists of r. H. Fleet of Mon
tesano, chairman; Alex Poison, Ho-
quiam; r. A. Wiley, county assessor,
and Eugene France, Aberdeen. They
declare that unless the harbor of
Grays Harbor is deepened to a deep
water harbor, the government alone,
which owns 35,O62, 100000 feet of the
total timber will lose $35,062,O0O and
that the loss to the community will
reach $117,625,OO0. The total value
of the timber as estimated by the
committee is $352,S75,OOO.

HOLD SESSION
The Contract is Awarded for
Building Five Miles Of
Concrete Roadway
WESTPORT In TROUBLE
Comparative Bidding For
Privilege Of Burying the
Pauper Dead

MONTESANO, April %. The
county commissioners on Monday
awarded the contract for building the
narrow concrete section of the Olym-
pic highway east from Montesano
five miles, to Pugh & Arenz of Mon
roe. The price is $18,15O, or less
than $4,000 mile. This is for a
seven-foot concrete roadway on one
side Of the graded and graveled road.
1t is the intention, at sometime in
the future to put strip of paving
the same width on the other side. At
present it will be rolled gravel road
and better than the average road.
The matter of paying the remain
ing two-thirds of the Tornow reward
to Deputy Sheriff Giles Quimby was
not brought up, but little doubt ex-
lists as to the intention Of the board
to order a warrant issued for the
amount at the next meeting.
Appeal from Westport.
A letter was received from Fred
D. Hill, editor Of the Westport Star.
deploring the condition of that town
because it was not incorporated This
extract from the letter will give an
idea of it's tenor:
"Can you take some immediate
and drastic action? If necessary will
go to the governor, but Chehalis
county should handle its own af-
fairs"
While the board felt that the COM
plant possessed some merit, it de-
cided, through courtesy, not to inter
pose in a matter which was now be-
fore the supreme court of the state
for adjudication.
The Whiteside Undertaking Co. OF
Aberdeen, made the board an offer
to bury the pauper dead for $40 each,
this being $3.50 less than is provid-
ed in an agreement recently entered
into with Pinnick & Kenny, of Aber-
deem. While no definite action was
taken on the offer. it seems under.
stood that the board will not recede
from the agreement made with Pin
nick & Kenny.

In regard to the new school build
ing petition that went before the
school board for action, was meant for
the good Of the seventh ward and the
public at large. Please let US have
fair play, At the last school election
that defeated the bond issue for new
school in the place OF the present Gar
field school. The president of the
school board rejected any proposition
from the seventh ward for building
at that time, stating 1t was too late
So the writer believes IN every tub
sitting on its own bottom | believe
there should be an understanding to
try for new school building every
year or two apart until we have the

and resources second to none.
Now please present for the coming
school election a proposition for one
new building for the seventh ward
within reason.
