Cornish fowls, while game-like in character. are classed as English fowls because they were originated in Corn wall, Wales, about 60 years ago. The original Cornish was produced by crossing Aseel Gmported from India) with Derby Black Red Game of Eng land and a later addition of Malay blood. This produced a large, heavy, full-breasted chicken with heavy thighs, yellow legs and skin, and and reproduction will enable the poul- try raiser to care for his flocks more intelligently, and thus secure greater profits.

An Olympia expert has examined
the rock now being used to pave Main
street and reports that it is largely
impregnated with iron.
1t is said that the filing of the
made ground on which the Northern
Pacific depot is built, in the rear of
the Olympia hotel, cost the company
fully $4,000.
Work has been commenced on the
street railroad eastward from Ounce
street to the point where the road
DIVORCES towards the Olympia Land
company's addition.
The largest plate glass windows in
the state are in the Mckinney build
ing and these are 13Ox118 inches in
the clear.
The assessed valuation of property
In Thurston coutny foots up $12,797,-
592. OF this amount $11,566,396 is
classed as realty and the remainder
personal property.
The litigation pending for several
years past over 1.-The tract of land
known as Priests Point, on Budd's
inlet, has been amicably settled and
the suit withdrawn. AS a result of
the compromise land company has
been organized, the land is to be plat
ted Immediately and the Olympia
street railway is to be extended to the
addition thus created.
Saturday morning about l O'Clock
an alarm of fire was turned in from
box 43, which speedily brought out
the department, but it was soon as
certained that the fire was at Tum-
water and had already made such
progress that the horizon was aglow
with the light from the burning
buildings. The fire originated in the
old grist mill, near Allison & Co.
sawmill, and was doubtless the re-
suit of carelessness of tramps who had
made 1t rendezvous for some time.
Both mills were wholly destroyed, as
we'll as McNeill's grocery, and black
smith and BARRIERS shop. The total
loss is about $4,000 with no insur-
ance. Both Olympia companies did
excellent service in extinguishing the
games and their efforts met with the
ample appreciation Of the people of
our neighboring city.

On the second anniversary of the
start of the great war, August /, the
direct money cost to all the belliger-
ents Is estimated to total $55,00O,-
100000. This is the consensus of
financial opinion in New York City.
Estimates six months ago were slight

mounted steadily and the figures
given are considered conservative.
The direct cost does not include the
losses by destruction of property, by
the disorganization of civilian indus

workers and by enervating human
sickness and misery.
The war is now costing all bellig-

G|LuES STORY FAILS
TO ROCK THE STATE"
Former Commissioners Reply by Say
ing Convict's Charges Are
Lies.

Nothing to it, replied A. B.
Ernst, former member of the indus
trial insurance commission, when
asked about the published statement
of J. F.. Gillies, convicted looter of the
states industrial insurance fund, that
he, Floyd l.. Daggett and Clarence
Parker, all former members of the
commission, were to blame for the
passage of fraudulent claims. Par
ker's comment was just as laconic
ITS lie made out of whole CLOTH"
he said.
The statement was made in a type
written history of 20 pages of details
that Gillies promised he would pub
lish, If not granted pardon, Ernst
said. Local reports are that it was
offered for sale to various newspapers.
1t was written last March while Gill
lies was in the local Jail and after he
had been twice convicted. 1t was
Gillies' oft-promised story that would
"rock the state"
The essential part of it is:
II hereby charge Floyd l.. Daggett,
A. B. Ernst and Clarence Parker,
commissioners of the industrial in
surance commission, with the blame
for the fraudulent claims by which
the fund was looted" says Gilles'
statement. 81 had at the time of ap-
proving such claims no guilty knowl-
edge of their falseness, though l did
have suspicion as to some of them
later, and any action of mine out of
the ordinary routine was taken on
orders Of Daggett and Parker, re-
spectively."
Gillies further says that he was in
structed that if any man came in and
asked for Gillies personally or had
his name in Parker's or Daggett's
handwriting, he was to give the claim
prompt attention, get the warrant
and have the claim approved by Par
ker- or Daggett and deliver the war
rant to whoever of the commissioners
had signed the claim.
1t failed to "rock the state" as
Gillies predicted.
