Directors of the Farmers Cooper

and to take up various matters need

ing to an announcement made by
Manager H. P. Briggs this week.
Sale of stock in the Exchange is
proceeding satisfactorily, the officers
say, considering the amount of effort
it has been possible to devote to it
and the fact that the sale was under

officers noted with considerable pleas

TRACE BOARD FORMS
Second Great Agency Created During
Wilson Administration Under-
takes Its Work.

The second great governmental
agency created by congress since the
administration of President Wilson
began came into being Tuesday of
this week when Joseph E. Davis of
Wisconsin, Edward N. Hurley of Illi-
nois, William J. Harris of Georgia,
William H. Parry of Washington and
George Rublee Of New Hampshire,
were sworn in as members of the fed
eral trade commission, with far
reaching powers of supervision over
American business enterprises.
The declared purpose Of the COM
mission, as set forth in it's creative
act, is to establish regulated competi-
tion among concerns engaged in in
terstate transactions and to investi-
gate trade matters in foreign coun-
tries as they may affect foreign trade
in the United States. This latter
duty, President Wilson said in a
speech at Indianapolis two months
ago, endows the commission with
powers of tariff board.
With the exception of Mr.. Rublee,
all the commissioners have been con-
firmed by the senate. Mr.. Rublee's
nomination failed of confirmation,
but he took office under recess ap-
pointment subject to confirmation by
the next senate.

NO MORE STREET LIGHTS.
Council Orders Service Discontinued
After Saturday Night.

There will be no street lights in
either the business or residence sec
tions of Olympia after Saturday
night of this week, unless the resolu-
tion adopted by the city council
Wednesday night notifying the Olym-
pia Light & Power company to dis
continue it's service after that date,
is rescinded.
The resolution, which appears
under "City Legal Notices" on an
other page Of this issue, was adopted
without any discussion and merely
recites that the tax levy limit in a
city of this size makes retrenchment
necessary. The city's contract with
the company expired January l last.

OLYM PA, WASHINGTON FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1915.
BUMPER WHEAT CROP
Pacific Northwest to Have Largest in
History, Grain Men Predict.

The Pacific Northwest this year
will turn out one of the largest wheat
crops it has ever produced, if the
weather conditions between now and
harvest time are favorable, says a
Portland dispatch. Should the
weather not be as good as the farm
ers wish, the crops will still be equal
to last years in size, according to
we'll informed grain men, as there is
enough new acreage planted in wheat
to offset any probable deficiency in
the old acreage.
In all parts of the Pacific North
west farmers are putting spare land
to wheat, and in some sections sum-
mer following will be abandoned to
increase this years grain production.
The increased acreage runs as high as
20 per cent in few localities, but in
the Pacific Northwest as a whole it
is probable that 10 per cent will be
the maximum gain.
The outlook for fruit and other
products is good throughout the Pa
cific Northwest. The apple crop
promises to be the largest in the his
tory of the states, and with scientific
selling arrangements perfected grow
ers will be in better position to
market their products than during
the past season.

pia Chamber of Commerce were re-
elected at the annual meeting Tues

nual report, pointed to the organiza-
ton of the Thurston County Farm
Bureau, the obtaining Of distributive
rates from the Northern Pacific, and
the establishment of the Chamber in
its new Offices, as the notable achieve
ments of the past year. He urged an
energetic membership campaign, rec
commended that steps be taken to see
that Olympia gets larger share Of
tourist travel this year, and closed
with the following tribute to Presi-
dent Draham:
"Preisdent Draham has proved a
rare combination of patience and
ability. Indeed, have felt at times
that his position has required sacri-
fees which should be exacted of no
one.
"Your president for 1914 has been
more than equal to the occasion and
If this report which have Just read
has impressed you with myriad OF
details we have cared for within the
mast twelve months, and II there has
been any great success attained. I am
free to state President Draham Is
more responsible than probably any
one other man and to him we owe a
deep and lasting debt of gratitude.
AS a token of the appreciation of
his work during the past year, Presi-
dent Draham was presented with a
handsome golf bag, the presentation
speech being made by Attorney P. NJ.
Troy.

GRANGE TO DISCUSS
PLANS FOR A FAIR
POMONA COMMITTEE TO PRO-
POSE STRICTLY FARM PROD
UCTS DISPLAY.

Psaas for Thurston coutny fair,
similar to the fairs in Mason and
Chehalis counties each year, which
have gained quite reputation for
their displays of farm products and
farm animals, will be discussed at thc
March meeting of the Thurston
County Pomona Grange at the Alert
Grange hall Wednesday of next week,
according to statements made by
Pomona Master H. P. Briggs this
week.
Pursuant to a resolution adopted
by the Pomona Grange last fall, after
the school children of the county had
surprised their elders by the excel
lence of their displays at the agricul
turial-industrial contest, Pomona
Master Briggs appointed the new
Pomona executive committee as a
special committee to prepare for a
Thurston county fair this year and
this committee took the proposition
up with County Agent O. c. Van
Houten.
AS q result of their investigation,
the committee will report to the
Grange next week recommendation
that a general county fair with all
the sideshows, horse races and simi-
lar stunts be not attempted, but that
the 1915 show be made strictly a
farm products fair, under the aus
pices of the Thurston County Pomona
but open to every farmer in the
county.
Specifically the committee will
recommend that the same plan and
program as followed by the Pomona
Oranges of Mason and Chehalis coun-
ties in their annual fairs, be followed
in Thurston county. Secretary l.. L.
Snow of the Thurston Pomona was
instructed to write to the secretaries
of these fairs for this information and
1t is expected that it will be available
for next weeks meeting.
In view of the fiascos OF the So
called county fairs attempted in this
county during the last two years, the
fair now proposed is to be strictly an
agricultural exhibition and will be
held in the vicinity Of Olympia. The
Grange is expected next week to urge
all farmers of the county to plant
crops now especially for this show
and to make all plans for 1t, so that
it will be an excellent and complete
display of the agricultural products
and possibilities of this county.

Slater Quite Hopeful.
"The formations and indications
of oil and the gas pressure at the
bottom of the hole cause us to feel
more than hopeful of encountering
the oil bearing stratum most any
time now" Slater said Thursday
morning. 1--WE are lifting the casing
four times a day to keep it from
freezing and my instructions to J..
v. Hoffman, in charge of the drilling,
are to keep the hole in its present
good condition SO that we may con-
tinue to drill deeper until we either

do my best to prove whether or rot
there is oil in the Tenino field and l

Excitement has been intense at the
we'll all week, in spite of the troubles
the drillers have been having with
the gas blowing "cave-ins" below the
casing, for crowds of people have Wis
tied the we'll daily and the accidents
seemed to confirm their faith that
there is something at the bottom OF
the hole" The drillers themselves
are also reported to be enthusiastic
over the situation and, though held
back in their work by the gas show
ings, point to the strong gas indica-
tions as the foundation for their
statements that the well. when finally
brought in, will be flowing we'll.
Much Trouble With Gas.
Late Sunday, John c. Slater, the
new financial agent of the Crescent
company, announced that the drillers
were within seven feet of the original
depth of the we'll and said he thought
there would be something doing
Monday. Monday came and went.

sweetened English literature by some
of it's rarest singers. Our Sheridan
and our Burke, our O'Connell and
our Meagher, have furnished models
of oratory not surpassed since De-
mosthenes and Cicero. Our Sheri-
dan and our Shields welded swords
in the cause of this great Republic,
and the graves of our soldiers are
made in all the lands of the earth.
Exiled in ignorance and poverty,
cast upon the shores of foreign lands,
during the Great Exodus, in millions,
we have carried the Catholic religion
to all the lands of our ancient enemy.
We have been the missionaries IN
these days as we were in olden days.
The Catholic Church in America
would be feeble had not the Irish
emigrants raised the cross in wilder
ness, village and teeming city: The
spirit of St. Colman and St. Kilian is
the National spirit today, and the
strength of Catholicism in the United

in Australia, in South Africa, is the

age who does not read the Irish
American newspapers soon ceases to
be Irish. In these papers is found the
priceless remains of the past and the
living reflection of the present. In the
Irish Catholic papers are chronicled
those multitudes of events which are
the real history of people, In them
are published those logical presenta-
tons of facts which are the real
guides of destiny.
Truth may exist, but it can not ad-
vance, with organization. Organiza-
ton is the available strength of a
nation or race. Organization is edu-
cation. Organization is self-protec-
ton and self-advancement An unor-
ganized Irishman is a useless Irish
man, because he is not soldier in
the mighty army of patriotism, but a
straggler And, of all the organiza-
tons, there is but one which is both
truly National and Catholic. That
one is the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans. Through many hundreds of
years this Order has been entwined
with the fate of Ireland. When the
people of the old land were reduced to
six hundred thousand broken outcasts,
kneeling around few outlawed
priests, this Order stood as sentinels
and warders, protecting as best they
could the affairs of their faith and
refusing to surrender the dream of
brighter and better day.
