SAYS COUNTY GETS NEW
DEAL.
From last weeks issue of Roch.
ester Valley Leader.)

Next Monday will witness the in
duction into Office of Geo. F. Yantis,
newly-elected prosecuting attorney;
Frank Littlejohn and T. Ives Dodge,
county commissioners, chosen by the
people at the recent election. Here
tofore the swearing in of new set
OF officials has been of no particular
significance to the taxpayers, as boss
rule has been supreme in Thurston
county, the vested interests have long
peen IN control of county affairs, and
no matter which Of the bosses hand
picked candidates won in the elections
the people lost anyhow. We believe,
however, that the assumption of their
various official duties by these gentle
men next Monday marks the dawning
or new era in Thurston county, as
tney were elected on a non-partisan
platform, pledged to strict economy
and efficiency, and they are of the
type of men that can be depended on
to make good. 1t is an indication of
certain progress in political affairs
when business men of the character
and standing of Messrs. Yantis, Little
John and Dodge can be induced to
enter the public service, and that they
have been able to overcome the heavy
majorities which the plunderbund has
been able to mislead heretofore.

Will
Payne
Says:

at is hardly too much to say,
that in an investment way, we
have the world on a bargain
counter. How far we shall
take advantage of the oppor-
tunity will depend in good
part on how much we save;
and that is the individual
problem in exactly the same
way that it is the national
problem.
practically it comes to this:
How much are you going to
save and invest?
Twill an unusual opportunity
for investment induce you to
forego the country place, the
limousine, the parlor furni-
ture, the new hat, or whatever
other extravaganza you have
in mind?"
This thought, reprinted from
the Saturday Evening Post, is
most timely. 1t is urgently
presented for your careful
consideration.

SAYS "STAY AT HOME"

In a document received by Cover
nor Lister from the department of
state at Washington the cooperation
Of the state is requested in keeping
American citizens out of entangle-
ments in the war zone of Europe.
After emphasizing the perils Of
travelling in Europe at this time the
state department urges citizens not
to travel in any of the countries now
at war, if it can possibly be avoided.
and in the event it is found absolutely
necessary to do so, travellers are
warned not to attempt going direct
from one belligerent country into an
other with which it is at war. Motif
fication is also given to the governor
of an important ruling by which the
department permits the clerks OF
state courts to certify passports when
presented.

Initiative No. 10 Certified.
The same day Secretary of State
Howell certified to the senate that
Initiative No. 10, the bill permitting
breweries to operate and hotels and
cafes to sell liquors under certain re-
strictions, had 45,316 valid sigma

ferred it to the judiciary committee,
which has since set p. m, January

BILL" which was introduced in the
senate Wednesday, and announced
the receipt of an opinion from the at
torney general defining the province
of the legislature with reference to
the bills as follows:
The legislature cannot amend or
repeal any law enacted by the people
during a period of two years.
1t may, however, enact a measure
which, should it become law by vote
of the people, would amend or repeal
initiative measure No. 8.
1t may enact the bill without
change or amendment and refer it to
the people.
1t may reject it without change or
amendment.
1t may take ON action on it or it
may propose different measure deal
ing with the same subject and submit
both measures to the people. If the
legislature should enact initiative
measure No. 1S it could submit 1t to
the people at special election.
The principal controversy will
occur on the question of submitting
the liquor bills to the people at
special election. There is wide diff
ference of opinion as to the expe-
diency of setting special election
date. 1t is certain that until the
liquor bills are disposed Of they will
dominate the work Of the legislature.
Tuesday afternoon was given over
largely to the joint session at which
Governor Lister delivered his mes

day a movement, started by Repre-
sentative Jimmy" Davis Of Pierce
equity, to limit the number Of bills to
be introduced in the house, made its
appearance in the form Of petition
among the Republican
members, the signers pledging them
selves not to introduce more than
three bills each. Two years ago some
500 bills were introduced in the
house, and if the present plan works
ont the limit will be 291, there being
81 members of the house.

Authority to secure the property

Pictures Night Alarm.

AASSu4SS NA6At AAdIM.
The modern battlefield at night does
not lack picturesqueness, according to
a German officer whose opportunities
to be impressed have been many In
letter to friend he wrote:
Being on observation duty at night
is not as lonely a job as you think.
Time passes very quickly. There are
nights, however, when every minute
seems an hour. All that depends upon
circumstances and your own frame of
mind
"War here is more intense than it is
in the east. My observation post lies
close to the lines of the French on a
hill. From there report the move
ments of the enemy and direct our ar
tillery fire. Over me fly hundreds of
shells and shrapnel from both sides:
"a shower of them came last night.
Until about 10 o'clock all was quiet.
From out Of the night came the usual
battlefield noises, if noises one could
call them. Somewhere men spoke in
an undertone, what language I don't
know. Then came the sound of foot
falls. A man coughed in a suppressed
manner, and the steps of another were
recorded by the faint voice of two me-
tallic substances striking together.
Then the steps and other sounds van
ished, and l replaced my revolver.
There was nothing to be seen until

Of purplish fire seemed to leap across

they shot at could not discover-false
alarm, of course. But they kept it up
valiantly, and the excitement COM
municated itself to the trenches in
front of me and to those beyond on
my left.
Headquarters wanted to know what
was the matter. After cOnfessing my
ignorance l returned to my task OF
observing things in the dark. Soon
the fire became general. The battle
field assumed an ASPECT which l would
call beautifully terrible. There were
moments when it resembled large

What Worried Him.

Maurice Donnay has received at the
French academy letter from friend
in dugout at the front 1t contained
not word about the fighting or the
Jack Johnsons" or the weather in the
trenches. The writer was troubled
about only one thing-he was afraid
that the academy, which has been re-
vising it's dictionary of the French Ian
guage for about threescore years, might
have already reached the letter a."
and about one word under the letter
'1' this photographer in the trenches
holds strong views.
The word is that commonly and, ac-
cording to him, wrongly written Gin
lassable'' Gndefatigable). He implored
NJ. Donnay to bring all his influence to
bear upon the academy to insure the
word being written "ilassable" in the
revised edition of the dictionary. That
was the only topic he wrote about. It
was apparently the one uppermost in
his mind. -
M. Donnay assured him that the
academy was working on the letter "E''
and that the war would be over long
before it got to "I.''
