REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION
At Charleston Last Week
Largely Attended and
Harmonious.

Charleston, w. Va, May 20
AT state convention today a revised
and vigorous Republican party
placed West Virginia first on the
roll OF states to adopt the new rules
submitted by the Republican nation
al committee, heard the "keynote"
OF the campaign of 1914 sounded by
former Governor White and United
States Senator Sherman, of Illinois.
took up the matter of reforming its
own lines within the state, as a ch-
max adopted the most progressive
platform that ever has flown from
a political party in Vest Virginia.
1t was monster meeting, bearing
striking evidence of the ge,-togeth-
er spirit.
A candidate for congressman at
large, the nomination of whom was
recommended by state committee at
Its session this morning, was not
ramed, but provision was made that
In the event no candidate appears
against Congressman Sutherland his
name shall be certified by the state
committee as the party nominee. In
the event of opposition to Congress
man Sutherland he will contest il
with the rival candidate in a prl-
mary.
The outstanding planks In the
platform, adopted late tonight, are:
Protesting against the proposed re-
peal of the tolls clause in the Panama
canal act; criticism of "watchful
waiting" in Mexico; denuuclation as
an insult to America of the proposed
ColumbIa treaty, denunciation of the
tariff which has brought industrial
depression, and e-affirmation of the
Huntington platform of 1912.
The feature of the convention
which is one of the most notable
gatherings ever convened in West
Virginia, and whose members filed
the armory to it's capacity, was the
masterful address of Senator Sber-
man, though Governor White shared
honors in the department. of oratory.
When Senator Sherman declared
that In the scheme of things the
Democratic party"w-s never lnten =
ed to be charged with governmental
afhaIrs," cheer after cheer swept ov.
er the ball, and when ne declared
that third party could serve no
useful purpose and expressed his
faith that the Republican party
would continue to be the great agent
OF good government for many years,
men who voted for Roosevelt We'd
with those who voted for Taft, in
the demonstration.
The meeting of the state commit.
tee in the Kanawha this morning
passed over, without action, the
matter of naming national com
mltteeman and confined itself To the
details Of the convention.

After Drilling Six Weeks,

OLYMPIA, March 26.-"There is nj

going to stop now, but experienced oil
men who are on the ground say that
if we did stop now and prepare the

This is part of a statement made
last night by long distance telephone
by Emery c. Williamson, secretary
treasurer of the Crescent Oil com
pany, who spent yesterday at the well
near Tenino.
"The drill has struck and gone
| through a second stratum of oil sand
This was at the 775-foot level, and
the sand stratum is 80 feet through
though the first one was only six feet
in depth. 1t seems to those of us who
took samples of the sand and floating
oil that this sand contains 25 times
as much oil as did the first stratum
1--WE have real commercial well
just as soon as we want to put in a
charge of nitro-glycerine to tear out
cave in this sand stratum so that
the oil can collect. but we believe
that farther down there is oil in larg.
er quantities, and we will be surpris
ed if a gusher is not struck. We will
continue to drill. and if We exhaust
our resources before we strike any.
thing further we can come back at
anytime and make a 'pumper' out of
the we'll to take the oil from the sand
that we have just passed through. u
Secretary Williamson said that af.
ter passing through the second sand
bed, four feet of lime stone was drill
ed through, and that the drill had
continued about 10 feet into shale
foundation again at about 9 o'clock
last night. Mr.. Williamson felt that
there was no basis on which to specu
late as to the formation next to be
struck.
The Crescent Oil company has been
at work since February IL. Lincoln's
birthday. On that date the machin
cry was in shape and the first drilling
done. Up to the present time the
company has had exceptional luck

COST OF LIVING
COMING DOWN
Comparison Of Cost Of Staple
Food Articles Shows Re-
duction In Six Months
TO REFOREST LANDS
State Forester Would Refor-
est Cut Lands that are Un-
fit for Cultivation

OLYMPIA, March 22-Encourag-
ing indications that the cost of liv-
ing, which for the past decade has
been constantly soaring skyward, has
started to come down, are found by
the state board of control, which for
the past week has been making semi
annual purchases of supplies for the
II state institutions.
AS the state secures competitive
bids on all supplies and buys by
wholesale, lowest possible prices are
obtainable. The board of control finds
that the price of practically all food
supplies has decreased from the last
semi-annual purchases, made Septem-
ber Is, 1913. In some articles, like
butter, the decreased price is attri-
butable to. the coming Of the summer
months, but in most cases the de-
crease is taken as attributable to 9th
er causes than the weather.
Comparison is made of the prices
at which the state bought eight staple
articles of food six months ago and
this month, the prices, in each case,
being for delivery at the western
Washington hospital for the insane:

WATER SUPPLY
City Commissioner Ogden
Receives information as to
Method of Procedure

HOQUIAM, March 24-City Com
missioner Ogden, who is working in
the direction of securing a water and
power supply for this city, has re-
ceived a letter from Forest Super
visor Fromme of Olympia. The
supervisor states that the district
supervisor at Portland will send on
the necessary blanks and instructions
for making a formal application.
Fromme says that, as the plan
involves the building of dams and
reservoirs as well as the location of
a power site and the construction Of
transmission line, it will be neces-
sary for the city to do a sufficient
amount of engineering work to
acquaint the government with the
scope of the project Hoquiam and
Aberdeen will join in sending a corps
Of engineers to the headwaters Of
the Wynooche and the Humptulips
to make the necessary surveys. So

Commissioner Ogden figures that
the work can be done-dams and
reservoirs built, pipe line and
transmission line 30 miles long be
constructed and the water and power
brought to the Harbor cities-for a
million dollars. OF this sum, Ho-
quiam will furnish 100000 and Alb
erdeen $4,000. One requirement
Of the government is that the NUM-
cipalities shall use water, light and
power at actual cost and not attempt
to make a profit thereon. 1t is esti-
mated that the rates for these pub
lie necessities will be largely re.
duced if the work is completed.

Reforest Logged Lands

Some of the largest owners of log
ged-off lands in this state have re-
ceived letters from State Forester E..
w. Ferris, inviting them to deed to
the state such portions of their hold
ings as will be unfit for cultivation.
Mr.. Ferris object is to reforest
these lands. Private owners cannot
afford to hold them so or 60 years and
pay taxes on it, while waiting for a
second crop of timber, but as the state
pays no taxes, it can afford to carry
out a reforestation plan that will in
sure the presence of the lumber in
dustry so years hence.
Promises of some donations to the
state already have been received. No
land that is suitable for cultivation
is sought.
In his letter Forester Ferris says,
in part
ut may seem to some that we are
exercising a good deal Of nerve in put
ting this proposition before you, but
we have the nerve to do anything that
we believe is for the best interest of
the state, and it will take nerve, and
lots of it, to get back upon this logged
off worthless land second crop of
timber to take the place of that which
has been taken therefrom. This state
should never be without goodly sup
ply of timber, and we are asking the
loyal citizens who are the owners Of
tracts which are suitable only for re-
forestation to give to the state at least
portion of such tract. and start the
reforestation ball rolling, which will
accumulate as it travels along, and
when it arrives at it's final resting
place, it will have attained such mag
nitude as will make the donors proud
of the fact that they had a part in it's
making. Let us carefully harvest our
present crop of timber and when that
is gone may we have seen to it that
another is ready for the axe and saw"

Removal Of Building Within
Limits Creates Needless
Discussion
MOVE MAKES FOR SAFETY
Earth for Fill District NOT in
River. Street Improve
ments Protested

The city council was unduly exer.
cised Wednesday night over the re.
moval of the Fred Matthews frame
building from one point in the fire
limits to another. still within those
limits. Nothing appears to be oppos.
ed to such removal in the fire limit
ordinance. nor did it appear that the
fire hazard in the district was in
creased by the removal of those
buildings. AS matter of fact, the
Matthews building was taken from an
extra hazardous location to one of
comparative isolation and is now a
very slight menace to it's neighbor-
hood compared with what it was on
G street. It's removal will mean the
erection of a concrete building on G
street which will create fire break
in one of the most hazardous fire
points in the city. An attempt to
"abate the nuisance" as was talked
of is liable to involve the city in
needless litigation.
The city attorney reported that the
bonding company, which will com.
plete the work in Fill District No. 2,
had representative in the city pre-
pairing to take up the work, and that
he reported there was not sufficient
earth available in the Wishkah river
to finish the fill, and that they may
have to sluice earth from Terrace
Heights.
A protest against the proposed i'm
provement of Newell street provok-
ed a sharp discussion. the property
owners claiming they were unable to
stand the expense at this time. The
council will visit the street in body
Sunday morning to examine the stu.
alton.
The Barber Asphalt Co. receded
from their former position, and agreed
to accept six per cent warrants, in
stead of eight per cent bonds de-
manded.
The removal of earth from Oak
street was discussed, and the matter
laid over until the next meeting, to
permit E. c. Finch to be heard on
the subject.
A petition for a 20-foot concrete
roadway on Thornton street between
Sixth and Fifth streets, and a pro-
test, were referred
Liquor licenses were granted to w
Fl. Pierre. the O'Hare Liquor COM
pany and the Aberdeen Brewing
company, the two latter being whole
sale licenses, and the first issued since
the new ordinance was adopted.
An ordinance was passed fixing
Tuesday, April Z, as municipal elec.
tion day. the voting hours between
s a. IN. and p. m. and appointing
election officers. Precincts having
less than 100 voters will not be en-.
titled to clerks, the judges filling
these Offices.
Councilman Myles announced that
the street committee would look over
the South Side road Sunday and re-
port next Wednesday night.
An ordinance was introduced and
passed to third reading, licensing
moving picture operators and Great.
ing a board of examiners. The an.
nual license is fixed at IS and $3.50
for renewals.
The contract for the planking of
Henry street was awarded to John
A. Nordgren at $1.47 for the 16-fOot
