Request Of a local promoter that
he be permitted to stage boxing
matches in Olympia was denied by
the city council Wednesday night
without a dissenting vote. Mayor
Mottman reported that the promoter
had first come to him and that he re-
ferred him to the city attorney, who
sent him to the prosecuting attorney.
After making this round, he returned
to the mayor again, who put 1t up to
the council, after telling them he was
opposed to such exhibitions.

WANTS CAR TRACKS PAVED.
City Gets Order to Compel Company
to Improve East Fourth Street.

Somewhat similar to the contro-
versy between the city and the Olym-
pia Light & Power company over the
latter's street car tracks in the South
Main street paving district and set for
hearing at the same time, is the suit
brought by the city against the COM
pany Wednesday involving the COM
pany's tracks on East Fourth street,
having the further object, however,
of compelling the company to pave
the portion of the street it's tracks
occupy.
Superior Judge Mitchell has grant
ed the city an order directing the
company to do the paving in question
or else appear in court next Monday
and show why it should not do the
work. The city contends that the
company's franchise in that particu
lar section requires it to do the paw
ing. Prior to awarding the contract
for paving this street, the council
adopted a resolution notifying the
company to lay similar paving, but
the company paid no attention to it.

LEWIS MAY HIRE EXPERT.
Commercial Clubs and Oranges Want
a County Agriculturist.

CENTRALIA, July pa cam
paign is to be started soon among the
Oranges of Lewis county to secure
their Endorsement to the employment
of county agriculturist. Professor
Newbill, connected with the agricul-
tural department of the government,
has written to NJ. l.. Carrier, Lewis
county superintendent of schools, to
interview the IS Oranges of the
county on this subject.
Thurston and Grays Harbor coun-
ties both employ agriculturists and
the move has been agitated in Lewis
county for some time past by the Cen
trala Commercial club and practi-
cally every other commercial organi-
zation in the county. With the COM
mercial clubs and oranges pulling to-
gether it is expected that public
sentiment will be created for the
hiring of an expert farmer that the
county commissioners cannot oppose.

Plans for the Thurston county fair
next October, for which the Pomona
Grange has appropriated $50 and to
which each of the subordinate

ments for the big inter-county picnic

tory progress on the fair plans was

one Of its kind among the Pomona

portation arrangements are in charge
of F. A. Warner of Pleasant Glade
who wants all those who expect to
make the trip to notify him by
August i.
In addition to the business meet
ing, a class of six candidates was
initiated into the fifth degree, an in.
teresting literary and musical pro.

BRYAN TO Be IN TACOMA
Former Secretary of State to Speak
at Stadium July 20 or 30.

Many Olympia Democrats are plan
ming to go to Tacoma next week to
hear William Jennings Bryan, Sec
retary of state and three times a can
make an address in the stadium
either July 20 or 80, according to
word received Monday by Charles
Drury. Mr.. Bryan will be there
either July 20 or 80 and will spend
the afternoon and evening in the city.
Arrangements for his entertainment
are being made by the Pierce county
Democratic committee.
Mr.. Bryan is making tour of the
country and explaining his views on
the present international situation
and it's connection with his retire
ment from the post of secretary of
state. An enormous crowd is ex-
pected to hear his address in Tacoma
and the stadium will be the only
place in the city large enough to ac-
commodate the audience. The COM
mittee will try to secure the big am.
phitheater for the occasion.
The exact date Of Mr.. Bryan's ar
rival is not yet known definitely az
his itinerary has not been completed
but it will be either Thursday OF
Friday of next week.

FIVE S0L0NS FILL
JOBS THEY CREATED
WILL DRAW S. A DAY FOR TWO
YEARS AS MEMBERS OF EDU-
CATIONAL SURVEY BOARD.

Five members Of the recent legis-
lature will, during the next two
years, receive pay at IS a day for
work they do as members of the edu-
cational survey commission provided
by the legislature, State Auditor c.
w. Clausen having announced that he
would honor their vouchers for this
amount.
The five legislators who thus pro-
vided themselves with jobs in the
interim of the legislative sessions are
w. ]. Sutton of Spokane county, E.
E. Boner OF Gray's Harbor, A. H.
linus of Cowlitz, Charles Timblin of
Spokane and Victor Zednick of King,
who is secretary.
Provision for the educational sur
vey commission" was made by senate
bill 4O5, which provided an appro-
priation of $1,000. While approving
this bill, Governor Lister appended,
in a letter, the statement that the
salary provision doubtless was in
valid, as the constitution prohibits a
legislator from creating a salaried
Office and then filling it himself. Ar
ticle 2, section 13, of the constitution
reads:
mo member of the legislature dur
ing the term for which he is elected
shall be appointed or elected to any
civil Office in the state which shall
have been created, or the emolumen'
of which have been increased, during
l,he term for which he was elected
It is under the reasoning that
membership in this commission does
not constitute 'civil office" that
Auditor Clausen has decided to honor
the vouchers, it is understood.
All the members of this salaried
commission are Republicans. Zed-
nick, following the lead Of l.. d. Nc
ArdIe. declared on memorable oc'
casion during the recent session OF
the legislature that he was looking
| for no job for himself. Immediately
Following the session McArdle start
| ed work at $S a day as examiner foI
the state bureau of inspection, while
|Zednick now has his IS day job.

Investigate Cattle Disease.

]. H. Martin, a veterinary of the
state department of agriculture, has
been detailed to investigate a cattle
disease, as yet unidentified, which has
attacked Western Washington herds
In many localities, and which was at
first diagnosed as hemorrhagic septi-
cemia. DR.. H. T. Graves, commission
er of agriculture, believes the first
diagnoses incorrect, holding to the
theory that standing water in marsh
pastures probably is responsible for
the trouble.

HATE TO GIVE UP HOPE
So Crescent Stockholders VIII Let
Well ''Rest" q While.

Decision to let the we'll rest" for
a month or two before they gave up
hope altogether, was taken at a meet
ing Of about 30 stockholders Of the
Crescent Oil company in Tacoma
Tuesday night after the desire OF
some to perforate the we'll at the
1,SS6-foo toot depth was ruled down
and after J. c. Slater. who financed
some of the operations, still expressed
the hope that oil might yet come
in"
Il cannot understand why the oil
l saw does not make any appear
ance," Slater told the stockholders.
81 have been disappointed beyond all
reason. I still hope that the gas
pressure in the we'll will again bring
back the oil, and l am going to show
oil on the Crescent leases If 1t takes
years. l intend to justify my conf
dence in the field by devoting my time
to it to the exclusion Of all other
business"
Slater advised against shooting the
we'll at a higher level for some time,
as it would preclude reaching the oil
at the bottom should it seep back.
He said he hoped to drill another well
to a depth of 5000 feet on the Cres-
cent holdings for the benefit of the
stockholders, as he was satisfied that
oil would be found.
Both Secretary Emery c. William
son and w. L. Alfred, a member OF
the stockholders committee, advised
against spending any more money on
the we'll, but both said the company's
leases should be kept intact, in case
any of the other wells drilling nearby
should prove the field. The present
committee was delegated by the
stockholders to remain in charge and
watch the we'll to see If the gas pres
sure does bring back the oil. This
will necessitate drilling at intervals.
The committee reported that it had
raised 1,441. go in the campaign just
before the well was re-opened. OF
which there was AZ cents left.
