WORK ON WELL DELAYED.
Tool Ordered Week Ago Slow in Ar
riving-E.pected Today.

Because of delay in receiving an
"under-reamer," necessary to prose-
cute the balance of the work on the
we'll, Superintendent Howard Slocum
and his co-workers, who 10 days ago
confidently announced that the Cres-
cent we'll would be put on producing
basis by January Is, will not be able
to complete the work until the fore
part of next week, according to state
ments made by officials of the COM
pany Thursday.
The tool was ordered by wire from
Los Angeles a week ago Tuesday and
should have arrived the latter part of
the week, but was not shipped from
the California city until Tuesday of
this week. 1t was sent by express
and is expected to arrive at the well

SUPERVISORS TO Be
CHOSEN NEXT MONTH
NON-PARTISAN COMMISSIONERS
ANNOUNCE NEW POLICY IN
ROAD MATTERS.

New supervisors will not be chosen
in the five road districts of the county
until the first of February and per
maps not until later than that, and
when they are to be named the Good
Roads associations of the various dis
tricts will be notified in advance so
that they may be prepared to present
any matters they may wish at the
proper meeting.
This was the policy announced by
the new board of county commission
ers upon their organization this week,
with Frank Littlejohn of Olympia as
chairman, T. Ives Dodge of Bordeaux
the other new member, and A. B.
Rowe the holdover. In this an
nouncement the Non-Partisan mem
bers of the board established a new
precedent in Thurston county or else
re-established an old one, for during
the last few years the ruling commits
sioners have made no pretense of pay
ing any attention to the Good Roads
associations of the different districts
and, by one scheme and another, such
as making appointments earlier than
customary or declaring no vacancies
existed, they have juggled the affairs
of the districts as they pleased.
More than that, they never notified
the Good Roads associations when.
the appointments were to be made,
as the new commissioners propose to
do, to give them an opportunity TO-
appear, SO that the Non-Partisan
board is going them all zone BETTER"
Inasmuch as unusual interest is being
displayed by the various associations
this year-unusual because the asso-
Citations hardly existed before, the
new policy will doubtless appeal -
the members strongly.
The new commissioners and George
F.. Yantis, the successful Non-Parti-
san candidate for prosecuting attoE-
ney, assumed the duties of their
offices last Monday. Aside from trans
acting merely routine business, such
as approving the bonds Of different,
officials and the like, the commits
sioners have undertaken no new
work Immediately, preferring to pro-
ceed slowly. Similarly, though sew
eral complaints have been presented
to him and he is also engaged In
making one or two investigations.
Prosecuting Attorney Yantis' first
week in Office has seen no unusual
happenings.

EXPERT SATURDAY
VAN HOUTEN TO EXPLAIN FARM
BUREAUS PLANS AT "GET.
TOGETHER" SESSION.

The aims and objects of the Farm
Bureau of the local Chamber of Com
merce and how they are to be brought
about in the initial years work will

the general outline of the Bureaus
work, quite a large number Of far
mers have already called at the offices
to consult with Van Houten with ref
erence to having their farms included
among the so demonstrators" of
the first years work. At the meet
ing Saturday, Van Houten will go
into further details and will tell the
farmers present what it will be nee
essary for them to do to make the
work successful.
In addition to Van Houten's
speech, Secretary Fl. L. Whiting OF
the Chamber of Commerce will make
a short talk outlining the reasons
why the Chamber undertook the es-
tablishment of the Farm Bureau and
pointing out the spirit contemplated
in the work.
Upon it's organization Tuesday of
this week, the Farm Bureau ad-
journed until next Tuesday, when the
fifth member of the Bureau, a farmer
will be chosen. In addition to select
ing Commissioner Littlejohn as chair
man, this week, the Bureau elected

Whiting secretary. The other MEM
bers of the Bureau, c. J. Lord and
c. A. Marshall, and Expert Van

EQUAL SUFFRAGE LOSES.
House, by 80 Majority, Votes Down
Proposed Amendment.

The house of representatives, by a
vote of 204 to ia, refused Tuesday
to submit to the states an amendment
to the federal constitution to enfran-
chise women.
The vote was the second in the his
tory of congress on the woman suf-
frage issue. A two-thirds affirmative
vote was necessary to pass the resolu-
ton; it was defeated by a majority
of so.
Party lines were not strictly drawn
in the fight, though Democratic
Leader Underwood, voicing the atti-
tude of his party that suffrage is a
state issue, strongly opposed the reso-
ution, while Republican Leader Mann
was one of the chief speakers of the
suffragists. All four of the Wash
ington congressman who voted
favored the resolution.

URGES GROWING OF
CRANBERR|ES HERE
INVESTIGATOR SAYS CONDITIONS
ARE IDEAI-POINTS OUT
PROFITS.

That Washington will prove one OF
the greatest cranberry producing
states of the Union is the belief Of r.
L. Dalton, of the state agricultural
department, who, at the instance of
Governor Lister has been investigat-
ing the conditions. Mr.. Dalton is in
spector Of the district Of which
Thurston county is part and the ex-
istence Of several marshes in this
county makes his statements inter-
esting to local people.
Dalton has found that Washington
has cranberry bogs equal in area to
one-fourth of all the cranberry marsh
Of other states combined, and says the
climatic conditions on the Pacific
coast are more ideally adapted to
cranberry culture than in any other
state.
"Of the 5000 acres Of excellent
cranberry marsh in Washington,
said Mr.. Dalton, "but 1000 acres are
under cultivation. The Washington
cranberry is the largest offered in the
market, being the size of large Bing
cherry and of excellent flavor.
Its culture offers bigger returns.
likely. than any other character OF
farming. One acre Of cranberries
will support family, and the produc-
ton per acre in this state is far In
excess of Eastern acreage production.
Where but IS to 100 barrels per acre
are grown in the East, from 13O to
ITS barrels per acre are grown In
Washington.

LISTER TELLS LEGISLATURE STATES NEEDS
Delivers Comprehensive Message Joint Session Tues
day Retrenchment Absolutely Necessary and
Recommends Constitutional Convention to Remodel
Governmental Structure

Closing amid an ovation that was
remarkable from the fact that it came
from a crowd mostly of opposite po-
litical faith, Governor Ernest Lister
delivered his biennial message to the
legislature Tuesday afternoon, laying
great stress upon economy and
urgently recommending constitu-
tional convention as the only means
whereby the governmental and the
revenue and taxation systems of the
state can be remodeled to permit OF
that retrenchment he declared neces-
sary in public expenditures.
"The time has arrived when more
is required than the mere statement
that expenditures will not be further
increased" he declared at the outset.
"a plan of retrenchment must be de-
cided upon"
The message has been generally
praised by the newspapers of the
state, regardless of politics, the Seat
tie Post-Intelligencer. for example,
saying it was ''in many respects the
most comprehensive and intelligent
review of the work of the state gov
ernment ever presented by any gov
ernor," and editorially approving it's
general tone and commencing 1t as
"businesslike, free from partisanship
and weighty with specific recon-
mendations."
Coupled with his recommendation
for the constitutional convention was
perhaps the most remarkable state
ment a chief executive of this state
has yet made: that the present
bi-cameral legislature be abolished
and a legislature consisting Of one
body of 25 members replace it.
Summary Of Recommendations.
The members Of both houses of the
legislature met in the house chamber
to hear the governors message, and
the gallery was crowded with visitors.
The executive consumed exactly two
hours in reading it, and the principal
points in it can be summarized as fol-
lows:
That on January Is. 1918, when he
became governor, there was an over
draft of $45O,555.24 in the general
fund, which had increased to $719.-
s37.51 by the time the thirteenth leg
islature had adjourned and to $780,
647.43 December 81, 1918; that on
December 81, 1914. there was bal
ance of $40O.016.37 in the general
fund, showing that on January 1,
1915, the fund was larger by $780,
571.61 than on January IS. 1913.
That plan OF retrenchment should

These are the conclusions drawn
by cabinet members and other high
officials in their discussion of the
presidents speech. Every one con-
nected with the administration is
elated with the punch" shown by
the president.
The presidents statement that che
was tired staying around Washington
and saying sweet things" was accept
ed as another way of saying that he
is going to get out in the country and
say some harsh things to the Repuh-
licans.
Secretary Bryan's face beamed
when he read the newspaper reports
of the presidents speech. He was
delighted at the fire in it.
"It was mighty good speech"
was the only comment he made to
newspaper men.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels calls
it one of the presidents typically
great speeches, and admires the

Garrison calls it great speech"

yELM WORKED UP
ABOUT SUPERVISOR
INCUMBENT'S OPPONENTS SAY
HE PACKED" MEETING
CLAIM 800 SIGNERS TO
PETITIONS.

We've travelled all over the dis
trict and we've got more than 800
signatures to the two petitions we
have, one for Chauncey Grover and
the other for II. L. Conine, and we
haven't found single person in
favor of Albert Smiths re-appoint-
ment as road superv sor in the dis
trict except the SO who voted for him
at the recent goods roads meeting
at Yelm."
This was the statement made this
week by ]. w. Dain, B. R. Conine. E.
X. Fitch and H. L. Conine, in discuss
ign the supervisorship situation in
Road District No. 2, the Yelm district,
when they also declared that, by the
use Of automobiles on the day of the
association meeting two or three
weeks ago, Smith and his friends ran
up 81 votes for Smith out of total
of 115, the remainder being divided
between Grover and H. L. Conine.
Smith, they say, has been supervisor
of the district for the last IA years.
Smith and some of his friends
came to Olympia Monday to meet
with the new county commissioners
and induce them to re-appoint Smith,
and though being informed by the
board that the appointments would
not be made until the latter part Of
the month, used all the influence they
could in Smiths behalf. At the same
time Dain, Fitch and H. l.. and B. R.
Conine came to the city to forestall
such a move and present their petit
tions.
These four leading farmers of the
Yelm district, who were active in sup
port of the Non-Partisan ticket last
fall, do not hesitate to charge that
the association meeting was packed
by Smiths friends by the use Of sew
eral automobiles and further allege
that last Saturday Smith and a
coterie of about a dozen friends held
another meeting of the association at
Yelm of which they say the other
members of the association, number
ing 115 altogether, were not apprised.
Furthermore, they say they have not
been able to learn since what was
done at this meeting. All reports
point to the existence Of considerable
excitement in this district over the
supervisorship situation.
In District No. 8, the recently
formed association, at a meeting last
Saturday, recommended the appoint
ment of George Sumption for super
visor of the south end of the district
and A. G. West for the north end and
went on record as favoring the divi-
sion of the district. The association
elected the following officers: An
drew Nelson, president; Charles
Besse, vice president; Robert Num-
secretary-treasurer and James Gun
stone, O. e. Ferguson and A. G. West
trustees.

SENATE FIGHTS OVER
FARM CREDIT REPORT
POLITICS BREAKS OUT RIGHT
AWAY-OTHER EVENTS OF
FIRST WEEK.

Getting down to business earlier
than any other session in recent his
tory, the fourteenth legislature
plunged into it's first rumpus when
Senator Howard Taylor, Republican,
former speaker of the house, jumped
a-straddle of the proposal to print the
100, O,000-word report of the rural
credits commission authorized at the
last session, succeeding in getting the
joint resolution killed in the senate
Tuesday on the plea of economy, then
bringing it up for reconsideration
Thursday and indulging in some sar-
castle political remarks to the gen.
eral effect that DR.. Victor j. Capron,
Taylor's appointee on the commits
sion, made as speaker, had been
euchred out of Joining the other two
members of the commission on their
trip to Europe, for political reasons.
The introduction OF bills had con-
sumed most of the time of the senate
prior to the warm debate over the
rural credits report Thursday, 16 bills
having been introduced Tuesday and
20 ON Wednesday. Only three bills
altogether appeared in the house dur
ing the first two days Of the session.
AS he stated in his message, Gov
ernor Lister is engaged in preparing
his own estimates of the apprOpria-
tions needed by the departments
under his control, for presentation to
the legislature soon. The budget will
show the amounts appropriated for
the departments two years ago and
what the governor believes necessary
for the present biennium.
Republican Slate Goes Through.
The program of the Republican or
ganization in both senate and house,
settled in the former by caucuses
here Saturday and Sunday and fore
ordained in the latter for many
weeks. went through without single
hitch Monday, when the lower house
chose w. w. Conner of Skagit county
speaker without any opposition, and
Senator Edward L. French of Clarke
county was named president pro tenn
of the senate, with Frank M. Dallam,
jr., secretary to former Governors
Mead and Hay, as secretary of the
t., ha nnnnnrofc
supported E. l.. Farnsworth for
speaker and in the senate Arthur
Mcclure for president pro tenn.
When the organization was com
pleted, the houses jointly passed a
bill appropriating S105,000 for the
expenses of the session, the same as
two years ago. Prior to the session
there had been some talk of reducing
the number of legislative employees,
but this feature of the economy"
program failed to materialize, some
6S persons being on the house pay
roll during the session, about the
same number as two years ago.
Seventeen bills went into the leg
islative hopper Tuesday. the first real
business day of the session. the only
one in the house being the much
heralded bill proposed b. Represent
ative Victor Zednick of King propos-
ing the consolidation of the boards of
rapents Of all the higher educational
of the state into one
board. Among the 16 bills that made
their appearance in the senate, the

EVERYBODY ON
BIG ISLAND Is
BACKING GUARD

Everybody on Hawaii Is backing the
National Guard and helping in its or
ganization, General Samuel !. lJobnson
said this morning on his return from
the Big Island where he has just
sworn IN six new companies. The
Hawaii regiment is now larger than
is necessary, the only difficulty being
In getting equipment rapidly enough.
Rifles have been received at the
armory and win be sent on the next
boat to supply the companies on Ha-
wall which have no guns.
During his stay on the Big Island
General Johnson made rapid time and
did great deal of work Sunday he
began drilling companies Of the guard
at $3.50 in the morning at Hilo. and
from there went by automobile, to
other points where companies have
been formed, travelling 200 miles and
visiting five companies during the day.
He found all the companies ready for
inspection.
The Board of Trade at Hilo has be-
come interested in the guard and gave
General Johnson every encouragement
in his work
