new ELECTRIC Line?
Article In Shelton Paper Tells Of AppIi-
cation for Franchise There.

The following is taken from the last
issue of the Mason County Journal of
Shelton:
"In the proceedings of the council
this week will be found an application
for an electric railway franchise,
which A. e. Hitler and his assigns
wish to secure for the use of certain
streets in Shelton, in connection with
proposed system connecting this city
with Olympia, Colby, near Seattle, and
the Straits cities. The parties max
ing the application have already Sc
cured certain rights to the Skokomish
river, and it is not unlikely that the
idea will finally result in an electric
railway system covering Mason coun-
ty, and affording light as well as pow
er to the people. The Journal simply
submits the news without further en-
bellishment, and the public may draw
such conclusions as they wish as to
the forces behind Mr.. Hitler, and the
ultimate objects. AS the power site
conflicts with that which Seattle de-
sires and is making plans to condemn
it is probable that lot of legal fight
ing Is in prospect before the city can
get the property"
No local people know anything about
the enterprise, so far as could be learn
ed, except that a we'll known engineer
who has water rights in the Lake
Cushman district, spent some time in
this vicinity recently.

COUNTYS ORCHARDS
BEING CLEANED Up
State Agricultural Department
Proposes to Make Thurston
County Model.

That the state department of agri-
culture is pursuing vigorous cam
paign to clean up the orchards of
Thurston county and make it the
model orchard county of the West side,
is manifest by the wholesale condem-
nation of orchard acreage by R. l..
Dalton, district horticultural inspec-
tor, during the last week.
Approximately 80 acres of orchards
around Tenino have been condemned
by the inspector and notice served up
on the owners that they must cut out
the trees and burn them within a
month or the department of agricul
ture would take steps to have it done
and assess the cost to the estate in the
form of taxes.
That there is to be a cleanup in the
county is evident by the inquiries the
department is getting for remedies for
spraying and pruning, and several
ranchers who have already begun
cleaning up have threatened to bring
civil action against others for damages
If they do not do so, pointing out that

A BIG CROP OF GRAIN
IL. 100000 Bushels More Than in 1911-
Corn First Handled Commercially.

A feature of the forthcoming an
nual report Of the public service COM
mission will be the report of State
Grain Inspector r. d. Jarboe, which
shows that for the year there were in
round numbers 33,5OO,OO0 bushels of
wheat actually handled at the various
public warehouses throughout the
state. He estimates that 100000
bushels should be added to cover the
amount used by interior mills and pri-
vate warehouses. There were $780,
600 bushels of barley and oats ham
died at the warehouses and 100000
kept at home. The production of rye
is estimated at 100000 bushels.
The report fer the year shows the
receipt of 1881 bushels of corn
grown in Spokane and Chelan coun-
ties,' states Mr.. Jarboe. which Ia
probably the first time in the states
grain production that this cereal has
been received in commercial quanti
ties. "The actual grain production Of
the state for the year 1912 totaled
nearly 100000 bushels, which was
in excess of the estimated crop of 1911
by 100000 bushels"
The holidays find an increase rather
than diminution in the work of the
public service commission. Commits
sioner Lewis has been in Eastern
Washington where two formal hear
ings were held and number of in
formal complaints were Investigated.
Commissioner Spinning, at the office,
has cared for a large number of in
formal complaints and handled
heavy correspondence.

 Ray Demmitt who is playing in De- troit's outfleld, is the latest addition to the Ray family. The Yankees have three Rays - Fisher. Caldwell and Heating.

 In the last worlds series the advan- age of being able to slide was clearly i, shown. Both the Giants and Athletics had been we'll trained in this respect. and time and time again some decisive point was gained by a desperate slide. The art of tagging men is even mora difficult than sliding and requires the taking of a great many chances The nerve and ability to block off runners that belong to Long Larry Mclean saved one worlds series game for the Giants last year. when. with the game tied up and in the last half of the ninth, he made two putouts at the plate on difficult infield plays.

TT would seem to be the ambition of
