PERHAPS BOWERS STAYS
ON THE J0B...PERHAPS NOT
Commissioners Sign Agreement and
Tell Auditor to Choose Her
Course.

Until tho commissioners Of Gray's
Harbor county officially affix their
signatures to the agreement, it will
not be definitely known whether he
proposed consolidation of the weights
and measures inspection service in
the three counties will be effected,
though the commissioners of that
county are said to have already
agreed to the proposition.
Lewis county's officials signed the
memorandum last week and the
Thurston county commissioners fol-
lowed suit this week, letting it be
known, however, that County Audi
tor Annie CASTOR must determine
whether the agreement will be car
ried out or whether l.. L. Bowers, the
present inspector in this county, will
be retained at the same figure for
work in this county alone that would
be paid by this county towards an
inspector employed jointly by the
three counties, $3.50 year. In this
way the commissioners "passed the
buck" back to Miss CASTOR.
Asked this week what she proposed
to do, Miss CASTOR replied that she
had not yet learned whether Bowers
would accept the position at the re-
duced salary, about a third Of what
he is receiving now, adding that her
decision would be postponed until
the Gray's Harbor commissioners had
acted upon the agreement.

ties, asking for the bridge, and also
promised to obtain all of the right
of-way needed for the road leading
to the bridge on each side of the
river, without cost to either county.
The commissioners arranged to in
spect the site for the proposed bridge
next Tuesday, in company with
County Engineer Yeager and the
Gray's Harbor commissioners. A dis
patch from Oakville says that those
interested in the project are hopeful
that this joint meeting will result in
definite plans for the new road and

BOOST LUMBER PRICES
Southwest Washington Mi m
Adopt New Scale for Output.

Representatives OF % lumber mills
located in this section Of the state
met in Centralia last week and, after
discussing a revision Of the price lists
prevailing through the local market
adopted a new and higher scale. A
test of the Sherman antitrust law Is
involved.
It is understood that many oper'
ators made the threat that unless the
prices were raised there would be
general shut down of all the mills III
Southwest Washington. There are
43 mills running in this section ana
about 80 idle.
The advance agreed upon is abou'
so cents a thousand on common ane
81 thousand on upper grades. Inc
lumbermen claim this still leaves
them about 81 below the normal
market price, but state that this IL
all the market will stand at the pres
ent time.
1t is understood that the mills VII
refuse all future business ohereo d
a price below the advance noteo
above. Lumbermen of other sections
are expected to follow this course.

CUTS VALUATIONS $40. .O64.
County Board of Equalization Makes
Changes in Assessments.

Fortysix thousand and sixty-four
dollars was the total amount of the
reduction made in the 1915 assess
ments by the county board of equali-
cation when it finished it's labors last
Saturday, according to figures given
out this week by County Assessor j.
c. Sans, clerk of the board. AS the
total indicates, the reductions asked
for and granted in individual in
stances were small, while a number
of petitions were denied.
This reduction makes the total of
the 1915 assessment on real and per-
sonal property in the county $10,999,
495, or $246,656 less than the 1914
assessment on these items, the re-
duction being largely due to the fact
that the Northern Pacific's new wa
ter-grade line was assessed as per-
sonal property last year. This year
it will be assessed by the state board
of equalization as operating property
as will also the Thurston county por-
ton of the Milwaukee's new line from
Maytown to Willapa Harbor, and AS
SCISSOR Sans believes that when these
valuations are made, the total of the
assessment on all the property of the
county will be at least equal to that
of last year, if not larger.

STANDARD BRINGS new
BUSINESS TO OLYMPIA
Is Awarded Contract for Printing
Official Paper of Washington
State Grange.

In competition with other local
firms and several throughout the
state, The Washington Standard this
week was awarded the contract for
printing the Pacific Northwest Agri-
cultural Grange News, the Official
publication of the Washington State
Grange, thereby bringing to Olympia
several thousand dollars worth Of
business that had previously been
done outside the city.
The publication is a 16-page paper
issued monthly, 10000 copies being
printed and distributed to members
of the Grange throughout the state.
The first number to be printed by
The Washington Standard will bear
date, of, October 1. For the last year
the paper has been printed in Spo-
kane, which has been quite inconven-
lent for Fred w. Lewis of Tumwater,
secretary of the State Grange, who
is the managing editor of the publi-
cation and attends to practically
every detail of it.
The awarding of contract of this
size and character to The Washing
ton Standard is convincing demon
stration of the facilities and service
it offers every buyer of printing.

FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS
TO VISIT COUNTY SOON
To Probe NJ e h O Il s of Clearing
LOgged-Of Lands and to Give
Demonstration,

Messrs. Strait and Brodie of the
federal department of agriculture,
who are touring the Pacific coast
states investigating the methods used
in clearing logged-off lands and the
purposes for which such land is best
suited, will visit and spend some time
in Thurston county soon, probably
next week, and County Agent o. C.
Van Houten is arranging for them to
visit and consult various ranchers.
lumbermen and other logged-off land
owners, SO that they can gain an idea
of what is being done in this county.
Van Houten announces that if some
farmer or group of farmers will sup
ply the powder, the federal agents
will give a demonstration of a new
appliance for blasting stumps, known
as the electric stump-blasting system,
by which several charges of powder
are placed in different parts of a
stump and touched off by an electric
spark, instead of only one large
charge being used. The demonstra-
ton, if arranged, will be open to any
farmer in the county who cares to
attend.
The federal agents, besides giving
this demonstration and investigating
the logged-off lands of the county,
will very likely give addresses to the
farmers at various points also.

MORE OLYMPIA OYSTERS
THIS YEAR...CHEAPER, TOO
Local Companies Get Ready for
Opening of Season Next
Month.

There'll be more Olympia oysters
this year and the price will be 25
per cent less than last year, at whole
sale anyhow, according to statements
made this week by local oystermen
who are practically all prepared to
begin shipping this local product up
and down the coast when September
rolls around next week, the first Of
the "r" months.
Fact is, one or two of the compa-
nies are already making shipments.
All Of them look for a better busi-
ness this year than last, when there
was quite slump in the demand for
the local bivalve, largely because of
the high prices prevailing. The local
oystermen couldn't prevent those
high prices then, but this season the
new beds upon which they have been
working the last three or four years
and upon which they have been
spending thousands of dollars, are
bringing in their first marketable
oysters, and there is consequently a
larger quantity.
Last year the ruling price for oys-
ters at wholesale was $40 a sack;
this year it is to be $3.50. The
Olympia oyster is famed up and
down the coast and over east of the
mountains into Montana and Idaho
and Utah and has always had wide
