VEYSEY CASE IS
UP TO COURT
All the Testimony Is in and
The Arguments Of Counsel
Made Yesterday

MONTESANO, Jan. 26.-The Mil
dred Veysey suit against her uncle
Chas. Veysey for 100000 alleged to be
due her from the estate of her faith
err Marion Veysey. formerly a part
ner with Charles at Montesano and
Elma, is at an end at last, the case
being submitted to the court this af
ternOon.
Under cross examination this
morning Mrs. Walter I. Agnew. wild
ow Of the attorney, denied she had
been brought into the case by the
defense. She said she was here be
cause she had read in the papers that
some of the evidence appeared to
show her husband had received mon.
ey he had not accounted to the es.
tate for. The plaintiffs attorneys
put Mildred Veysey and her mother
back on the stand to again testify
as to the girls age.
Just before the noon adjournment
the plaintiff asked again to be allow.
ed time to submit an amended com
plant. Judge She&s allowed them un-
til o'clock and on their urging for
more time extended it to 5 o'clock
At minutes past the plaintiff s
attorneys filed their amended com
plant directly in court The docu-
ments contained a dozen or more
sheets of closely written typewritting
Judge Sheeks glanced over the first
few pages and said:
81 will not rule on this complaint
now, but may say l think l will
deny the amendment. AS l remem
ber the evidence l do not believe it
shows any cause to accuse Agnew OF
fraud. However, | will take few
days time to go over the evidence
and then will make a ruling on this
motion and on the case"
Mrs. Agnew this morning testified
positively her husband settled in full
with George L. Thompson, the ster
father and guardian of the girl. She
says there was a receipt in full and
that as she could not find it in her
papers she thinks it must be on file
in court She testified the settle
ment with Chas. Veysey was made
not at the request of her husband
or of Chas. Veysey, but at the earnest
solicitation of Thompson, who need
ed the money for his own and his
wards uses.
She introduced number of letters
from Thompson to her husband ant
one or two carbon copies of letters
from Agnew to Thompson She pro
duced letter from Thompson tt
Agnew, which gives the girls age
as 18 in 1908, which would make hel
one year older than her attorneys
have proven by her mother and her
self. This would make her of ar
age past the time when she coult
bring such a suit as the present An
other letter from Thompson saying
he needed the money badly in hi!
business was produced. Still another

Three Transcontinental Rail
roads Will Enter Rich
Untapped Territory
OLYMPIC PENINSULACOAL
All Three Start From Crays
Harbor and Run Over One
Hundred Miles North

AANOMAp Jdn. "oul VCyo AOi
three roads, starting at Grays Har-
Dor and extending north into the
Olympic peninsula to Cape Flattery
have been completed, one for the
Northern Pacific, one for the Union
Pacific and one for the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul. The making of
continental roads was almost stimuli
taneously, no word leaking out un-
til yesterday and came then on the
best OF authority.
The Olympic peninsula is one OF
the richest sections in Washington
and except for few sub roads in
the northeastern section near Port
Townsend is undeveloped by rail-
roads.
The three surveys all parallel the
Pacific Coast and pass through one
of the richest timber sections in the
West. All touch the Quiniault reser-
vation.
0VdTt8 0t WOCbp8
The survey of the Northern Pacific
for it's proposed extension starts at
Moclips, the end of its present Grays
Harbor line. The surveys of the Mil
waukee and Union Pacific start north
from Hoquiam.
The Northern Pacific and the Union
Pacific surveys both pass close to
the coast the Milwaukee several
miles farther inland.
The Union Pacific survey divides
near Mora in Clallam county, one
branch continuing north around Ozet-
te lake, the other branching east par
allelling the Soleduck river.
The Northern Pacific survey paral-
lels the coast almost to Cape Flattery
ending in the Makah Indian reserva.
tion.
Most Extensive Of All
The proposed route for the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul is the most ex.
tensive of all. From Hoquiam 1t con.
tinues north along the Humptulips
river for a long distance, then swings
west into the Quiniault reservation.
continuing north to East Clallam on
the Straits of Juan de Fuca. From
East Clallam its turns east to Clal-
lam. ~'' -'''
The construction of a road from
Lake Crescent to Oak Bay, a distance
of 80 miles, has been commenced In
the northeastern section of the penin-
sula. The road is called the Port
Angeles & Lake Crescent railway and
is being built by the Erickson Con
struction company This road is be
lieved to be for the Milwaukee and
when construction is finished it will
undoubtedly be turned over to it for
operation. This is the same method
which the Milwaukee has generally
taken in building its branch lines.
Meet at Lake Crescent
At Lake Crescent the surveys for
the two roads meet and when bull
will give the Milwaukee line around
the entire peninsula.
Although Grays Harbor undoubted.
ly would benefit most by the cOnstruc-
ton of the lines. it would mean much
to Tacoma, as this is the first large
city which the Grays Harbor lines
of the three roads touck.
It was reported several months ago
that the Milwaukee had surveyed a
line entering the peninsula near Gig
Harbor by bridging or ferrying across
the Narrows from Tacoma. From the
present surveys, this plan has evi-

Mr.. Hilles Scents Trouble

Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, has
discovered that President Wilson and
all other well-meaning Democrats in
Congress and the departments are
now at the mercy of Tammany Hall
because 20 Congressman, who he
says are Tammany men, will hold the
balance of power in the Lower House.
Assuming that there are 20 Congress-
men from New York who are tied
hand and foot to Tammany; that they
can be combined against the Presi-
dent and that they do SO combine this
fact will still be true: They cant de-
feat any good measure without the
help Of a united Republican oppose
ton. Does Mr.. Hilles wish it under
stood that Tammany may count on
Republican support in its hunt for
jobs and graft? The Republic is
rather inclined to think that there are
a good many intelligent and patriotic
Republicans who will support the
President at the next session, Just as
they did at the last session. and that
they will be the more ready to do so
if the Tiger shows his teeth.
All of this is said, it will be OBJ
served. upon the assumption that Mr..
Hilles is right In his facts and that be

PRICE, $500 PER YEAR
USE WALNUT.

1t has been suggested by the con-
tractor and others that the specifica-
tons for the State Capitol be changed
so that black walnut shall be used for
interior finishing in'places where ma
hogany and other foreign woods are
now required. The idea is distinctly
good. When the new Capitol was
projected it was planned to use Mis-
souri, material in every place where
Missouri could furnish a suitable
product. Walnut comes up to both
Of those requirements. Black walnut
is a Missouri tree and the wood it sup
plies has a richness of color and
beauty of grain which put it in the
class with the best furniture woods
that grow in any country. 1t is now
hard to find and high in price, but not
so scarce and costly that European
countries are not glad to come here
and buy it. Only recently German
buyers were securing Illinois for wal
nut, which is in high demand in their
country though neglected here. Mis-
souri, should keep its walnut and use
the best to be found within the bord-
ers of the State to adorn its most
beautiful public building.-St. Louis

The Odd Fellows at Adrian

A good deal of interest had been
aroused in the lodges of Bates county
and there was some controversy as
to where Grand Master Morrison
Pritchett would hold a school of in
struction in Bates county, and it was
settled by competing for a month to
see which lodge could get the larger
number of candidates for initiation.
Adrian Lodge hustled and won.
Hence the school was held at Adrian
last Monday afternoon and night.
In the afternoon the Grand Master
made an enthusing speech thatevoked
hearty applause. He has the right
ring and the brethren approved and
appreciated his utterances. Than the
Adrian team put on the lnitiatory De-
gree and did it we'll. Their new and
costly costumes added greatly to the
pleasing spectacle. In all some 200
Odd Fellows, representatives from
all the Bates county lodges were
present.
The good Rebekahs served a 6
O'Clock dinner in an adjoining hall
that was a real feast and highly com.
plimented by all feasters.
Then the team of Butler Lodge put
on the First Degree. 1t was well
done; and was witnessed by even
larger crowd than was present in the
afternoon; many having arrived by
autos too late for the afternoon work.
The Grand Master took occasion to
instruct and criticise after the work
was over; and his instruction on the
unwritten work of the order was full
and accurate. He settled many nice
points and disposed of many petty
differences, which often provoke dis.
putes. He also addressed the Re-
bekahs after a late lunch and the
school was dismissed at late hour
and the brethren departed for their
respective homes well pleased and
greatly strengthened in the spirit of
friendship, love and truth.
The Adrian bunch is all right.
They were cordially fraternal and
made the visitors feel that twas good
to be there.
