Delegates from the chambers OF

railroads and land holders in all parts
OF the state will meet in Olympia
March q and % in a convention call
ed by Secretary of State l. M. Howell,
to take steps to get lands in this state
out Of the hands of spectators and
into the possession of immigrant set
tiers at reasonable prices.
'"The present land situation in this
state is not favorable to settlement
by immigrants because it is mostly
held by spectators at exorbitant
prices" said Mr.. Howell. II be-
1ieve there is way through taxation
to force these spectators to sell
lands which they are holding unim-
proved. The situation is acute and
demands drastic measures.
Most of the land holders got their
lands at low prices, either from the
state or from the timbermen who
bought them for the timber and sold
the land for a few dollars an acre.
We believe these lands should be i'm
proved. If the holders act the dog
in-the-manger part, the meeting here
probably will start movement which
will force their SALE"

STRIKES OIL SANDS
Twice Are ShOwings Developed at
Crescent Company's Well.

Twice during the last week oil
sands have been struck by the drill
of the Crescent Oil company, which is
now down SIS to 500 feet, the first
"strike" being made last Saturday
and the second Wednesday. Wheth-
er the second strike" means a new
strata of oil sands or that the show
ings from the first strata crossed are
becoming stronger, the drillers are
unable to determine, according to
Emery c. Williamson, the treasurer
of the company, but the showings
have caused no little excitement
around the we'll.
Drilling will now be suspended
temporarily, pending the installing of
the 8-inch casing which arrived
Thursday, for the drillers do not
want to go past the 600-foot level
until they have taken every precau-
ton to prevent the recurrence of the
factor which spoiled the Christopher
we'll when it struck gas and oil at
depth of 700 feet, in 2 well filed
with that much water.

DETAILS OF PENDING
RURAL CREDITS BILL
PROVIDES FOR EITHER ORDI.
NARY OR COOPERATIVE
INSTITUTIONS

A recent news letter of the depart
ment of agriculture gives an extend
ed review of the "Bill TO Establish
National Farmland Banks" on both
ordinary and cooperative lines. The
bill (H. R. 1855 and S. 4246) pro-
vides for the establishment of banks
of not less than $4,000 capital, the
shares to be 500 each in the case
of ordinary banks and $25 in the
case of cooperative banks, and these
banks may, in addition to the farm
loan business transacted, perform for
their customers any of the functions
which are now performed by national
banks.
The operation of the banks will be
under federal supervision and SUBJ
ject to such regulation as the COM
missioner of farmland banks, with
the approval of the secretary Of the
treasury may prescribe. Loans on
farm lands for periods Of not exceed
ing 35 years may be made, subject
to provision for the amortization OF
the loan by semi-annual or annual
payments Of such an amount as will
retire the loan in full at maturity.
In the case of loan Of $1,000 at
s per cent payable in 80 years. the
annual payment would be $50, and
this payment would be permanent
through the period of the loan. On
all longtime loans the bank will be
to issue it's bonds, which
it may sell on the open market or to
private parties or use as security for
loans of state funds under necessary
or the bonds will be
accepted as security for deposits of
postal savings.
A full explanation of the bill and
it's provisions is contained in H. r.
Document 679 entitled "An interpre-
tation of H. R. 1855, bill to es-
tablish national farmland banks,
etc." which can be had upon applica-
ton to representatives in congress
from this state.

PARK MUDDLE ST|RS
BOARD TO EXPLAIN
VIOLATION or
LAW BRINGS FORTH HOT LET
TER FROM SCHMIDT

Members of the city park board
nave been busy this week explaining
away an acknowledged violation of
the law which prevents any city Off
Ger from being beneficially Interested
In the purchase Of supplies by the
city, and one of the explanations took
the form of letter from Frederick

to the stories of alleged crooked

have been current during the last

purchasing agent directed where all
SUPPLIES should be bought and at what
price.
The stories going the rounds this
week grew out of the state bureau
of Inspections criticism OF Frank q.
Blakeslee, chairman of the board. for
buying at his own store supplies used
at the park and followed an informal
meeting of the mayor, city council

ROADS CAUSE INCREASE.
Largest Single Element That Makes
Taxes So High.

An analysis of the 1913 taxes now
being paid, made by the state tax
commission, shows that the increase
in levies for road purposes is the larg-
est single element in the general in
creases which resulted in taxes levied
in the state this year amounting to
11,180.7O, breaking all previous
high records.
The total levies for road and bridge
purposes, in four different funds, ag-
gregate 8,259,961.77, more than
100000 in excess of the levies for
the previous year.
Estimating the population of Wash
ington at 1,250,0O0, the average per
capita tax payable this year by every
man, woman and child in the state
is $3O.65.

There are two ways Of pasteuris-

is to be preferred because 1t is not

That there is great deal of inter-

Watch that young lady-we predict
that she is going to make a record

URGES WILSON TO

ON BEHALF OF LUMBER
MEN OF STATE

AS the result of meeting of rep
resentative lumber manufacturers in
Tacoma last Monday in conference
with Gov. Ernest Lister, the govern
or sent a telegram to President Will
son suggesting a modification of the
canal tolls amendment in the inter-
est of the great lumber industry of
the Pacific coast.
The telegram is as follows:
"The passage of the tariff bill af-
fected the lumber industry of the
state, of Washington by taking all
duty off lumber.
Aids British Columbia.
"The repeal of the free tolls
the Panama canal for Amer
can ships engaged in coastwide trade
would be an amount per thousand
feet on lumber SO handled far in ex-
cess of the difference made by the
passage of the tariff bill and would
give the lumber interests of British
Columbia the full benefit of this ad-
inasmuch as lumber from
British Columbia points could be
handled to the ports of the United
States in foreign ships at much
cheaper rate than our lumbermen
would have to pay in American bot
toms.
Want Equal Chances.
1--WE feel, inasmuch as the duty
has been taken off lumber, that we at
least should have an equal chance in
our own markets with foreign COM
petition, and hope it may be possi-
BILE to decide on some plan whereby
this result may be obtained.
II would not presume to indicate
any definite plan. Some methods
suggested, however, have been, first,
allowing the shipment of our lumber
products from the Pacific coast to
the ports of other states in the Union
in foreign vessels, so that we may
have the benefit of the same tonnage
charges, and, second, possibly
