The city council chamber was pack

Harbor country, from Elma on
the east of the Pacific ocean, gathered
to attend the hearing held by a spe-
cial board of United States engineers,
who were sent here to formulate plans
for further improvement of the har.
Dor entrance. The board consists of:
Col. Burr of Washington, D. c., Col.
Potter Of St. Paul, Col. Reese of San
Francisco, Col McKinstry of Port
land, Maj. Cavanaugh of Seattle, Cap.
tain Dillon of Portland and Captain
Ehrnbeck of Seattle.
The meeting was called to or.
der shortly after 3 o'clock by Col.
Burr, who stated it's object to be to
gather information about Grays Har-
Dor, its commercial business and nee.
essities. The visit of the board
which had previously visited the
north jetty. is the outcome of the
showing made by representatives of
Grays Harbor at Washington, D. c.,
few months ago, and the report
made of this investigation will be a
large factor in the future develop
ment Of the entrance. Col. Burr said
information would be sought on two
points, the commercial importance Of
the harbor and the amount Of local

A rehearing has been asked for in

and Cross are hopeful of securing a
new trial in the case.
Mill Decisions Awaited.
The decision of Judge Irwin, in the
contested mill assessment cases is
awaited with much interest, as it may
lead to sweeping reduction in all
values in the county. Assessor Wiley
holds that he assessed the mills at
identically the same ratio he did the
other classes of property, and that
II those values are reduced 1t will
make absolutely no difference in the
amount Of taxes to be paid by the
contestants, as he will strive to re.
duce all other property on the rolls
the same percentage az the court
may grant the mills. In this, 1t is
believed, he will be supported by the
board Of equalization, and. If 80, it
will result in a lower valuation all
through. Although this will place the
burden Of county expenses evenly ON
all property, it will result in a loss
in the taxes Of public service corpor.
ations, which will be taxed for state
purposes at values placed by the state
commission, but will be taxes for coun-
ty uses at the county valuation, entail.

that the legislation will meet the ex-

Purpose Of Antitrust Laws.
"The whole purpose of the anti
trust legislation that is being under
taken at the request of the President
is to remove certain restrictions
restrictions which gave an advantage
to big business. No one questions
the statement that big business has
for years used it's power to capture
undue advantage for itself, advan-
tages which tended to produce monor-
oily and to stife competition. In 9TH
er words, the small business has had
to fight for a living, while the large
business has had things it's own way
"The President believes that his
antitrust legislative program viii
serve to remove some of these re.
strictions, under which small business
has operated. It is believed that a
rightly enforced law against price
cutting will materially help the small
er concerns. The prohibition Of in.
terlocking directorates will, it is be-
lieved, also give the modest business
q better show. The Interstate Com
merce Commission has found that the
imitation Of railroad securities has
imposed a burden on business, and
the Presidents program provides that
this burden shall be lifted.
Setting Business Free
"Thus it will be seen that the one
idea of setting business free runs
through the administration entire
major legislative program Even with
the enactment of the antitrust bills
the program will not be complete.
There will be other restrictions to
be removed. For instance, the Presi-
dent is of the opinion that farmers
have not been able to borrow money
on as favorable terms as other busi-
ness men, and it is his wish that this
burden shall be lifted by farm credits
legislation.
"The President has tried to make it
clear from time to time that there
Is not thing anywhere in the en-
tire program that ought to frighten
any legitimate business. Big business,
of course, is not in sympathy with
what is being done, and when the
President recently made the state
ment that the present business de-
preston is psychological in charact.
er, he had in mind the thought that
the opposition of big business to
what the Congress has been doing
and is doing-the influence of big
business on the business OF the coun.
try generally-has much to do with
the feeling somewhat prevalent that
business cannot 60 ahead as rapidly
as it should. The administration
holds to the view that when bust.
ness realizes that the reform legisla-
ton is fact and that 1t is going to
stick, there will be more of a dispo-
sition to accept it at its true value,
and to 60 ahead at full speed under
the new conditions"

Ceologist Discusses Ferma-

REPORT IS FAVORABLE
Says High Grade Parifin Oil
Seeps Are Plentiful in
Vicinity Of the Hob

WASHINGTON, July 14.--Results
Of an investigation conducted by the
Geological Survey to determine the
possible oil and gas resources of the
western part Of the Olympic PENN
sula, suggest" to quote the language
of the report thereon, that certain
parts of the field are worthy of care
full consideration by oil operators. "
The investigation was conducted
by Charles T. Lupton, of the Geologi-
cal Survey, and his report is now be-
ing printed. 1t was at the instance
of the Indian Office that the investi-
cation was undertaken, the Indian
office making the request because Of
the efforts made to lease tracts of
possible oil land for drilling in the
Quiniault Indian reservation.
Summary Of Findings.
Summarizing his findings, Mr.. Lup-
ton says:
High grade paraffin oil issues from
two seeps near the mouth of Hob
river, and at other localities oil-sat.
urated sandy clay ("smell mud" of
the Indians) is exposed. Natural gas
containing about IS per cent. methane
escapes from a conical mound Just
north OF the mouth Of Quiniault river
and also from an inverted cone-shap.
ed water-fllled depression on Hob riv.
er a short distance west of Spruce
post Office. Other minor gas vents
are also known in this field and are
described in detail in this report.
Three wells-one in the reserva-
ton about one mile north and slightly
west from Taholah, another near the
mouth Of Hob river, and the third
about one mile south of Forks-are
being drilled for oil and gas. So far
as drilling has progressed none Of
these wells have encountered oil in
paying quantities, but all of them
have struck small amounts of gas.
Several AntieiInes Exist
"A study Of the structure and stra-
tigraphy in addition to the examina-
ton of oil seeps and gas vents. re-.
veals the fact that several anticlines.
which may serve as reservoirs for oil
anu sas, exist in the area examined
and that they have apparently a close
relationship to the oil seeps and oc.
currences Of smell mud"
In his conclusions, Mr.. Lupton says:

Relation of Shape Of Ear
to Yield of Corn.

The superintendent of the Texas sub
station at Temple. after q careful study
OF the relation Of shape Of ear to yield

ing parent ears give the higest yield.
This is in accord with the results Of ex-
periments at the Ohio Experiment Sta
ton, In which extremely tapering ears
give slightly higher results than cylin'
dricsl ears. High yields were assoeiat- :
ed with comparatively smooth kernels
Of slightly more than average depth
and Of medium horniness. The yie.d In
creased with an increase in the tota'
weight Of the ear As determined BY
slight increase In length, amount 'oi

that the highest yields were obtsined

OCT. Q IS RURAL Lift: DAY
Governor Stewart Says Purpose CT
Holiday Is to Bring Trustees, Fec.

Governor Stewart has issued a proc
lamation making Oct. 8 Rural Life
day and the proclamation says the
purpose Of the holiday is to bring the
trustees, people and pupils of rural
districts together to discuss the ad-
vancement of the country schools.
The governors proclamation, in part,
says:
"There is a nationwide movement
looking toward a larger unit for ad-
ministering the rural schools and,
after comforting with the leaders Of
educational thought in this state, |
have become convinced that some
such change here will result in a
great educational uplift.
Such change would enable us to
handle our school affairs in a more
businesslike manner and to provide
funds sufficient for practical high
school work, SO that farmers would
not be compelled to send their chill
dren away from home at the most
critical time in life, rent the farm or
sell out and move to town in order to
secure educational advantages for
their families.
"School moneys should be appor-
toned in way that would give every
child in the state his full share of
opportunity, whether he lived on the
right of way of railroad or on the
dry land farms forty miles away. State
and county superintendent should be
employed on an efficiency basis, as
city superintendent are now en-
ployed, in order to give the boy or
girl from the ranch home as good su.
pervision and as good school as his
city cousin now has"
