STATE SUES +. G. BLAKESLEE.
Charges Park Board Illegally Paid
His Company 500 for Supplies.

To compel repayment to the city
by Frank G. Blakeslee of the Olympia
Hardware company of $95.75 said to
have been paid by the city park board,
of which Blakeslee is a member. to
that company for supplies, in viola
tion of the state law, was filed in the
local superior court this week by the
attorney generals department. 1t
follows agitation that has been car
ried on for moer than a year by Mrs.
Kate l.. Young, a former member of
the park board, since the discovery of
the alleged transaction was reported
by the state bureau Of inspection in
1914.
The state law forbids a city official
selling goods to the city and the suit
is based on that statute. Blakeslee,
who has never denied the charges,
has maintained that his company was
awarded the contract after bidding in
competition with other local firms.
The original amount of the bill was
s121.O1, but only $95.75 of it was
paid.

SIX NEW SHIPS TO SAIL
PACIFIC UNDER U. S. FLAG
New York Firm Declares Seamen's
Law "a Much Overrated
BugabOO."

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Philip Man
son, a director of the Pacific & East
ern Steamship company, recently in
corporated in this state, declared this
week that within two months his
company will have six vessels operat-
ing under the American flag between
American ports on the Pacific coast
and Oriental points.
Manson, who is to be manager Of
the line, says the LaFollette seamen's
act, which went into effect this week,
is not as harmful as some steamship
owners have sought to make it ap-
pear.
"The seamen's law is a much over
rated bugaboo," he said.
Discussing the recent sale of the
Pacific Mail line steamers by their
owners rather than register them
under the American flag, Mr.. Manson
said he believed they were disposed
Of because they could be sold at a
profit. 1t is Manson's opinion that
the language clause-which has been
greatly objected to--would not prove
highly Objectionable.
Within a month, he thinks, the
Pacific Mail line officers who spoke
English, could have taught their
crews their language we'll enough to
comply with the law. With the act

FINAL BRIEFS IN DRY"
Law TEST NOW IN COURT
Interest in Case PrOvOkes Many
RumOrs-DecisiOn Not Elk.
pected Soon.

The seventh and last brief in the
NJ. & X. Gottstein case, involving the
validity of the prohibition act, was
filed Tuesday by the attorney gen.
erals office and the case has been
finally submitted to the court. Four
briefs were filed in all by opponents
Of the law and three answering briefs
by the attorney generals Office and
counsel for the Anti-Saloon League.
The briefs contain approximately $50
pages, or 10000 words.
Reports were current in Olympia
the latter part of last week that the
court had agreed on a decision inval-
idating the dry" law. by vote Of
s to 3, but these were declared to be
without foundation. They gave rise.
however, to speculation as to what
steps might be taken If such a deci-
sion were given, and a Seattle paper
Sunday printed a story to the general
effect that II the law Is invalidated,
on the grounds that it had been i'm
properly submitted and was there
fore adopted by the people under a
misapprehension, Governor Lister
would call a special session of the
legislature to provide for the imme-
date re-submission of the bill.
This story is of course merely the
publication of the undercurrent of
rumor, for the governor, pending the
supreme courts decision, has not an
nounced what he would do in the
event that the law were knocked out.
This story also has it that the COVER
nor would urge special election on
the bill, while another rumor is to
the effect that he would ask the leg
islature to pass a prohibition bill far
more drastic than the one now under
fire. All these stories, however. are
merely the rumors produced by the
general interest in the supreme
courts decision, which is not expect
ed for some weeks.

S0CKEYES HATCH IN
WASHINGTON WATERS
DARWIN. SUCCESSFUL IN EXPE.
RlMENTS, SAYS INDUSTRY CAN
BE RESTORED.

State Fish Commissioner L. H,
Darwin, in circular letter addressed
to all interests connected with the
fishing industry, announces the sue
cess of his experiments this year in
Matching sockeye salmon in Washing
ton waters, and states that there is no
reason why 25,00O,OOO sockeyes can
not be hatched in this state this year
and increasing numbers in following
years, SO that the Puget Sound salmon
industry can be built up to it's former
status.
The sockeye breeds naturally only
in Canadian waters and refusal of the
Canadian authorities to allow the es-
tablishment of hatcheries on their
streams, and the interference by rail-
road work and otherwise with the
natural spawning grounds, has threat
ened the possible extinction of the
best food fish that runs In Puget
Sound waters. This year Commits
sioner Darwin undertook as an expe-
riment the Matching of 100000
sockeyes in the Samish hatchery and
in spite of numerous difficulties car
ried the work on successfully.
The letter to the fishing interests
reviews the progress of the fisheries
during the two and one
half years of the present administra-
ton, during which time seven new
have been constructed and
several others enlarged and reopened.
80 that the total hatchery capacity
has been increased so per cent, while
one Warrington hatchery alone took
more eggs last year than all Oregon
combined.
This has been made possible

missioner Darwin's letter states.
that while the average cost
Of Matching 1000 salmon was SS.S
cents during the last year Of the pre-
vious administration, this cost was
reduced to Sc cents for the hrst year

l8 cents for the second year.

FOR CROP INVESTIGATION
Credit System in Vogue in State of
Texas Hampers Tenant Farmers
Single Crop Is Favored.

Lewis H. Haney, professor of farm
economics in the University of Texas,
has been studying farm conditions in
Texas, and Investigations have led
him to the conclusion that the credit
system in vogue in this state hampers
diversifieation of crops to a marked
degree. After pointing out that by
hook or crook the interest paid By
tenant farmers in Texas averages
about % per cent. and at that rate
progress and ownership are all but
impossible. Professor Haney contin
ues:
Bad years submerge such tenants,
Borrowers on crop mortgages in Tex
as generally receive but so per cent
of the estimated value of the crop, so
that their borrowing power even at
high rates is very limited. Under
such circumstances the tenant Is
forced into a condition of so great de
pendence on the person who carries
or runs him. that he loses initiative
and hopefulness. The merchant in
order to secure himself generally spec
ifies that cotton shall be the main
crop with perhaps little corn for
feed, and in this way strongly rein
forces the tenants inertia in the mat
ter of diversifeation. The cotton
