new LIBRARY PROGRESSES
VIII BE Ready For Opening Septem.
mer Librarian Here.

With the exterior work practically
and the interior finishings
being rushed as fast as possible, the
Olympia-Thurston county Carnegie
library, the first joint city and coun-
ty library in the state, will be ready
for opening about September 1.
Miss Mabel Smith of Oconto, Wis,
who will be the librarian in charge
of the new institution, arrived here
the fore part of this week and began
her preparations for the opening. On
the authority of the library board she
has already ordered 500 worth of
books, mainly fiction, as the city and
county library will work in co-opera-
ton with the state library as far as
reference works are concerned.
AS soon as the local library is es-
in good working order, the
plan contemplates the establishment
Of branches in Yelm, Rainier, Teni-
no, Rochester and other towns
the county.

GETTING READY FOR sHO?
Promoters Expect to Bring in Cres'
cent Well Within Short Time.

Preparations are being made as
rapidly as possible at the Crescent
Oil company's we'll near Tenino for
shooting" the we'll and bringing in
what the officials of the company
confidently believe will be the first
commercial oil we'll in the state Of
Washington. Emery C. Williamson,
secretary-treasurer and principal pro-
moter of the company, is enthusiastic
over the prospects, is confident the
company has struck what will prove
to be a paying oil sand and is hurry
ing the work along so the we'll can
be drought in" within short time.
The oil showings in the third sand
are more pronounced than any pre-
viously encountered in the drilling at
higher levels, Mr.. Williamson says,
and the only thing that is holding the
we'll back now is the necessity Of
preventing the recurrence of the
"cave" when the we'll is shot. To do
this it may be necessary to concrete
the sides of the we'll just above the
sands, but Mr.. Williamson Is hoping
it will not be necessary to do this.

5000 TIMES" AHEAD
Bankers, Merchants and Manufacture

Facts and opinions from bankers

Times relative to the business situa-

through the reports feeling of con-
fidence in the immediate future.

trade this fall, which in some lines
has already begun.
Having paid his debts from his
large crop Of year ago, the farmer,
except in the Southwest, will have
much money to spend.
The feeling of confidence is most
marked among the business men who
first will feel the effects of these ex-
penditures.
The railroads expect an increase
over last years business when the
crops begin to move. They are or
dinarily large purchasers, but they
have been doing little buying, to the
detriment of the lumber industry, car
building, electric equipment and the
steel business.

TO SUE NEW HAVEN ROAD.
President Directs Civil and Criminal
Prosecutions of Railway.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The
long-continued effort to untangle the
New Haven railroad without litiga-
ton came to an end this week when
President Wilson, in letter to Attor-
ney General McReynolds, directed
the institution of Sherman law suit
to dissolve the system, and ordered
that the criminal aspects of the case
be laid before a federal grand jury.
The presidents approval of the
course mapped out by the department
of justice means that the civil suit
will be filed against the New Haven

new STATE BANK HERE
w. Dean Hays Announces Success of
Plans For Local Institution.

Announcement was made this week
by w. Dean Hays, former cashier Of
the State Bank of Tenino, that he
had sold his interests in that institu-
ton and was forming state bank
and trust company to be established
in Olympia within a short time. The
lobby of the Kneeland hotel is to be
remOdelled for the new institution
and the bank will be ready for busi-
ness, Mr.. Hays says, as soon as the
furniture and fixtures arrive and are
installed.
While Olympia has two large in
fuential national banks, there has
been considerable talk for the last
year relative to the formation Of q
state bank here and Mr.. Hays him
self has been working on plans for
such an institution for some time.
Outsiders have also looked over the
field and once or twice seemed to
have matters in such shape as appar-
emily to insure the establishment Of
state bank and trust company here,
but in every instance something hap
pened to prevent the carrying out OF
the plans.
Mr.. Hays mas been connected with
the Tenino State bank for the last
eight years, previous to which he had
been engaged in the banking business
in the South and West for eighteen
years, during which he was connected
with the management of national,
state and private banks, SO that he
brings years of experience with him
to the local institution.

CHICAGO, July 24.-Members OF
