AUDITORS PROPOSAL
ST|RS UP POLITICS
MISS GASTON SUGGESTS CHANGE
IN WEIGHTS INSPECTION PLAN
BOWERS OBJECTS.

Though County Auditor Annie
CASTOR and other Republicans assert
no attack on the present weights and
measures inspector, L. L. Bowers of
Little Rock, was intended, the recon-
presented to the county
commissioners this week by Auditor
at the suggestion of the state
department of weights and measures,
that Thurston join with Grays Har-
Dor, Lewis and Pacific counties in
an inspector, has stirred
up considerable of a tempest in the
local Republican teapot.
The recommendation, Miss CASTOR
says, was made at the suggestion Of
A. w. Reinhart, chief of the state
bureau of weights and measures.
after he had informed her that Mason
county. which has joined with Thurs
ton in the work for the last two years,
had become dissatisfied and with
drawn to join new alliance with
Clallam, Jefferson, Island and Kitsap
counties. The commissioners have
the situation under consideration,
after consulting with Inspector Rein
hart Wednesday morning. and will
announce their decision at
their regular meeting next Monday.
Where Politics Enters.
The plea behind the recommends
tion is that the new scheme would
cost the county only $500 a year in
stead of $2,400 as it does now, a saw
ing Of $1,000, this last amount being
divided among the other three coun-
ties. The politics comes in through
the vigorous protest Inspector Bow
ers, one of the Republican warhorses
OF the county, is reported to have
made to the commissioners and state
ments credited to Bowers that it was
"a move to get his goat"
Such talk is discredited' by some of
the local Republican leaders and by
Miss CASTOR herself, but the attitude
Of some other Republicans tends to
bear it out. Miss CASTOR Is quoted
as having said she thought "the coun-
ty has been paying more than the
work is worth to u.s." and 1t is also
known that Bowers has sought advice
as to whether he could be ousted
now, claiming he is under contract
for year and has given bond.
Bowers Named by Burr.
Bowers. who has always been ac-
tive in Republican campaigns in this
county, was rewarded with the ap-
pointment az inspector by former
c. A. Burr, when the law
went into effect after the 1913 ses-
sion, and under the arrangement then
made with Mason county has been
spending nine months . year inspect
Ing weights and measures In Thurs
ton county and three months in
Mason. the expense to this county
being $2,400 and to Mason $1,000.
He was re-appointed this year by Miss
CASTOR.
The report that Inspector Reinhart
has picked Pacific county man for
the job as inspector in the proposed
district has added to the politics Of
the situation and has been taken a. .
reflection on Bowers ability and his
work for the last two years.

FIRE LOSSES IN FORESTS
ARE VERY Low THIS YEAR
Only 3 Per Cent of Those of 1914
Skagit County Hit
Hardest.

OIdIc rOToSter =. w. rorTlS re-
ports that, through favorable wealth
er and more thorough patroling, the
fire losses in the forests this year so
far have been only per cent of the
losses to this date last year. The
total timber loss this year to date is
we'll under 100000 feet and at it's
close this season bids fair to almost
equal in fewness of fires the year
1913, in which the timber loss was
exceedingly small.
The forester has 80 fire wardens
in the field now and il the dry wealth
er keeps up through August a few
more will be put on. Last year 72
was the maximum number Of fire
wardens in the field.
Mr.. Ferris reports that most Of the
losses this year have been in the low
lands Of Clallam, sksgit and What
com counties, where little rain has
fallen, although the season has been
q comparatively wet one in the
higher areas of the state. Sixty per
cent Of the losses this year have been
in Skagit county alone and a major
ity Of the fires have started in logged
of lands, communicating from them
to standing timber, with the excep-
tion Of one of the biggest fires this
year, which is attributed by the for
ester to a spark from a railroad loco
motive.

LONDON PREPARATIONS
 FOR AN AIR RAID.
When News Was Received Zeppelin
 Fleet Was on It's Way.

London, Feb. 1, 11.35 D. rl.-The bat terles protecting Dover opened fire to- night on what is thought to have been another German raid, but whether by Zeppelins OF submarines, or both has not been ascertained.
 An early report from Dover said that hostile airships were observed over that town, while later report an- nounced that they had been driven off by the gunfire of the forts
 Another Dover message declares that th fire had been directed at German submarines.
 As 8 consequence the war depart ment instructed the London police to make all preparations for an air raid. The city was soon in darkness and everywhere the news spreak that a Zeppelin fleet was on it's way to the metropolis.
 Telephone calls to FIarwlch, Cromer, and other points, elicited the reply that no air raiders had been seen. The report of submarines at Dover seem te to explain the gun firing there, but the fhcial press bureau issued no statement
 The extended. precautIuns taken in London indicated the fact that vir- tuaIly all special constables under the regulation were required to re- port at the various stations, even those attending the theatres, where. in some cases. the audiences were greatly de- pleted.
 At several Of the railway stations the lights were extinguished and trains passing over bridges did so in darkness.
