the belt line around the Olympic Peninsula marks an epoch in the history of that section of the state. For more than e quarter of cen tury tho people of Clallam and Jeff fcrsou counties have struggled to interest capital iu railroad building in their sections. Numerous rail- road companies have been formed mostly with their headquarters, at Port Angeles, and several times actual construction has begun.
 The Milwaukee began building from Port Angeles eastward two years ago. It has leased the Port Townsend southern railroad from the Northern Pacific. This line operates between Tenino and Shel- ton, through Olympia and between Port townsend and Hoods canal. The connection between Hoods can al and shelton is being made by the Milwaukee, and this will con- nect Port Angeles with the great transcontinental railroad system of the Milwaukee. Later, the railroad will be extended westward from Fort Angeles to the ocean, and thence southwGrd to connect with the M.Iwaukee's Gray's HarbOr line
 Port Angeles has experienced a great growth since the beginning of railroad construction, and is now q town of about 5000 ppulation' Port Townsend is slightly smaller.

ONLY ONE HOUSE
SEAT CONTESTED
Contest in Murray County Decided III
Favor of Beck, Democrat over
LOughridge, Republican.

ATLANTA.-E. H. Beck, of Elton,
Murray county, whose seat in the
house was contested by J. H. Tough
ridge, was this afternoon seated by
the committee. Beck is a democrat,
Loughridge a republican.
The contestant set up the claim
that there were irregularities in two
precincts carried by Beck and made
a general charge of fraud, without
specification. One of his claims was
that the precinct where the county
seat was formerly located was auto
matically moved with the court
house. and that the 80 majority for
Beck at that place should not count.
The counter claim was made that
this particular location has been
legal election precinct since 1882.
Moreover. Beck fled counter
charge of fraud as to every precinct
carried by Loughridge, and speci-
fed in one precinct that he produced
the afidavits of twenty-six voters
that they voted for him; that, when
their tickets were examined, it was
found that his name had been mark
ed out with a pencil and that of
written in.

the American made artificial limbs
are the best in the world. French
surgeons realize that the Franch
manned can be better equipped and
De more fully restored to their ability
TO resume their former functions by
American artificial limbs than by any
other kind. French soldiers who are
thus equipped will be able to return
quickly to their homes while those
VINO choose to remain in the service
can perform clerical work taking the
places of able-bodied men who will
thus be released for the front.
Suggests Relief Scheme.
The French are asking that
American artificial limb factories be
established over there so that the de-
mand may be met on the spot, but 1
do not believe that it would be prac-
ticable for an American manufact-
urer of any proportions to establish
a factory in France that would be
commensurate with the demand. 1t
would require too much time and ex-
pense. In my opinion a better plan
is for each hospital in France to ap-
point as many surgeons, nurses or
wardens as possible to measure the
soldiers for artificial limb and send
the measurements to the United
States, and when the limbs are sent
over to have the same measurers ad-
just them. Neither measuring nor
fitting is difficult, as full instructions
are issued.
''The method l suggested to the
French surgeons is the one adopted
by the Panama Canal Commission in
supplying artificial limbs to employees
who were manned during the con-
struction of the canal, and was found
to be entirely satisfactory. If this
method is adopted by the European
countries the manned soldiers will be
equipped in the quickest possible
time"

FRANCHISE is GRANTED
FOR A NEW RAILROAD
Americus Is to Be the Terminus of a
Lumber COmpanys Line.


Lumber COmpanys Line.
AMERICUS, Ga.-The Americas
city council this afternoon granted
the Georgia Lumber Company a fran
chise to build a railway into Ameri-
Gus from Byromville, on the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic railway,
and connecting with that system.
The Georgia Lumber Company al
ready has half the line constructed
with heavy steel rail and will make
Americas a terminal point.
The right of way secured by the
Georgia Lumber Company lies along
a previous survey made several years
ago. That the new road will finally
be extended on to Triton over the
proposed Americas, Triton and At
lantic survey is the belief of those
in close touch with the situation.
This would give Americas another
trunk line. The shops of this line
will be established here and head
quarters maintained in Americas.

ings in Georgia.

ings in Georgia.
ATLANTA Senator Adams of the
Thirty-third district urged the peni-
Tertiary committee of the senate yes
terda| % re ommend for Passage his
bill providing for the establishment
and use of an electric chair for the
execution of felons in Georgia. The
bill was laid on the table until the
matter can be more fully investi-
gated.
Speaking in favor of the bill Sen
ator Adams said that he wished to
select some central point in the state,
Atlanta or Milledgeville probably
where the necessary apparatus would
be installed. We would have less
trouble then in enforcing our laws, y
he said. 'To pass this bill would
stop all Iynchings in the state, which
are liable to occur after the law has
taken it's course. 1t is high time
that Georgia was taking this step.
1t is just neither to the accused nor
to his friends and relatives to hold
him for hanging in the community
where he has been sentenced"
Senator Pickett opposed the bill.
ITO hang a man before the eyes of
the public" he contended, sis de-
manded by society to serve as an ex-
ample to others. 1t is a horrible
thing-but also a strong reminder
to all of us that if we violate the
law we shall have the moose around
our necks." Senator j. D. Walker
stated that he did not think that
Georgia-with her large negro popu-
lation-was yet ready to adopt this
new method of execut on of crimi-
mails.

THE UNFAIRNESS OF
The auto TAX Law
CITY COUNTIES ARE BITTERLY
COMPLAINING BECAUSE 1T
PUTS BURDEN ON THEM.
CLAIMED THEY ARE GOUGED

City Counties DO Not Geb Near IheIr
Portion of What They Pay Into the
State Treasury, While the Country
Counties Get Lions Share.
ATLANTA.-Is there any wonder
that real fight is being made on the
state law requiring registration fee
of IS on each automobile? Or is it
strange that there is going to be a
fight on any state highway commits
sion legislation which would equalize
the benefits of the money paid into
the state treasury and used for road
purposes?
None whatever is the answer to
both questions-when some attention
is given to the existing condition of
affairs.
City Counties Heavily Hit.
The city counties of the state are
being numerically gouged for the al
most sole benefit of the country coun-
ties by the automobile tag tax law.
That's the reason for the answer to
the first question.
The country counties are getting so
much for nothing, on percentage ba-
sis, under the present tag tax law that
they are naturally disposed TO fight
any proposition that will! threaten to
put them on an even basis at the ex-
pense of what they are now pulling
out of the state treasury for abso-
lutely nothing in the world. That's
the answer to the second question.
An IlIustratFatiOn.
Both very simple when they are
understood. Here's an illustration
OF how it is done:
The four biggest counties in the
state are pouring into the state treas
ury, at the rate of IS per tag for au-
tomobile tags, total of $37,1O5.
When that money is split up on the
basis of rural delivery mileage" they
get back of the money they paid in
only 1,55O.28. Here are the fig
ures: Pay for Get on
