Relatives Who Survive.
Mr.. Murphy was married in Port
land in 1851 to Miss Eliza A. Nc
CURE, and to them 10 children were
born, only three Of whom are now
living: Frank of this city, Charles
of Tacoma, and Mrs. Stella Carroll,
of Seattle. His first wife died In
1895 and in 1899 Mr.. Murphy was
married to Susan Sprague who sur
wives. Eight grandchildren are liv-
ing: Mrs. Ethel Cook and Leslie
Carroll, of Seattle; John H. Murphy
Of this city; Stanley Murphy. Of Sc
attic; Irwin and Frank Murphy. of
Tacoma. and James and Joseph Har-
ris, Of Bremerton.
During all his life Mr.. Murphy was
staunch Democrat, except during
'hc "'v'' War period, when he sup
ported President Lincoln and the
Union party. Many anecdotes are
told of his caus.ic comment, one of
these being to the effect that he was
once challenged to duel by fed
eral otfice-holder who was dismissed
under the Lincoln administration
Mr.. Murphy's comment on the chal-
lenge was so devastating that the
challenger vanished.

HEATING AND POWER
PLANT AUTHORIZED
RETIRING COUNCIL GRANT
FRANCHISE TO COMPETING
CONCERN HERE.

Authority to construct and operate
q central steam heating plant and an
other electric power and lighting
plant in this city, upon which con-
struction is to be undertaken within
18 months and which will represent,
1t is said, an investment of from
$4,000 to 100000, was granted the
American District Steam company in
q 25-year franchise passed by the
city council at it's regular meeting
Tuesday night. 1t marks the last i'm
portant official act of the administra-
ton which has governed the city for
the past four years, the new city Off
GERS and councilmen taking up their
duties January 2.
The franchise was first proposed
several weeks ago and, after its intro
duction, was considered by the coun-
Gil as committee of the whole in sew
eral secret meetings, until amended
to suit a majority. 1t was carried by
a vote Of five to two, Councilmen
Maynard and Draham opposing, and
is printed among the "City Legal No
tices" on page of this issue.
City May Buy Plant.
The change from the 50-year to a
25-year franchise was made during
Tuesday nights meeting, as result
of the statement by Councilman Nc
Clintic that he opposed a longer
grant. At the end of the first 10
years the city is authorized to take
over the property at a price to be
fixed Ly a board of three arbitrators,
an. failing to exercise the privilege
at that time, may do so at the end
of any fve-year period thereafter.
The company is to pay the. city l
per cent gross earnings tax monthly.
Just about the time this franchise
was prnpo ed, the Olympia Light 4
Power company announced that 1t
would construct $4,000 steam aux
iliary plant in connection with its
hydro electric plant at Tumwater
The construction of this new unit,
which it was said would amply supply
.hr power demands of the. city for a
number of years, was the chief argu-
nert adva iced by C'lncilmen May
nard and Draham against the grant
ing Of a franchise to competing
electric company, though both stated
they would vote for q steam-heating
franchise.
The discussion over the ordinance,
while not excited, brought forth sew
eral talks from Mayor Mottman in
favor of it, during which he paid his
respects to the Olympia Light & Pow
or company, recounted considerable
of its early history, and made the as
sertion that public service commits
sions of this and all the other states
are "a farce as far as the rights OF
the people are concerned"
No doubt is held that the Ameri-
can District Steam company will ac-
cept the franchise, though the grant
II only for 25-year term. Much
Of the construction work is already
done and the remainder is to be start
ed next spring. The new project will
be q completion of that undertaken
a couple of years ago by Wilbur b.
Foshey and Millard L'mon.

LARGEST POULTRY
SHOW IN PROGRESS
MORE THAN 500 BIRDS DIS.
PLAYED IN ANNUAL EXHIBIT
OF LOCAL ASSOCIATION.

There isn't an empty coop in the
two big rooms in the Elks' building,
where the annual show of the Thurs
ton County Poultry & Pet Stock asso-
citation is in progress-the display is
largest and best ever held here, well
arranged, finely cooped, excellently
lighted and prettily decorated. More
than 500 birds are on display, includ-
ing the largest exhibit of the Cornish
variety that Frank Breed, a we'll
known poultry Judge, says has ever
been held on the Pacific Coast.
Officers of the association are very
much pleased at the size and charac-
ter of the exhibit and at the number
of visitors who are attending. The
show was officially opened Wednesday
morning and will be continued each
afternoon and evening until Saturday.
Secretary T. P. Horn, Of the associa-
ton. has personal charge of the af-
fair, and 1t is largely due to hard
work on his part that the show is as
large as 1t is.
Glasses Large, Quality High.
All Of the classes are large and the
quality of the birds is said to be ex-
!ceptionally high, one Of the officials
stating that there aren't four poor
birds in the lot" In addition to a
large representation from the pens Of
members of the association, there are
exhibits from all parts of the state.
Oregon and British Columbia, and for
many of them 1t is their first entry
into the local show.
The unusually large exhibit Of Cor
nish fowls is due to the fact that the
annual meet Of the state division OF
the American Cornish club is being
held in connection with the local
show, the members Of that organi-
zation making a much larger showing
than any previous year.
The five big classes are the Cor
nish, Barred Rock, White Leghorn,
White wyandotte and Rhode Island
Red. There are Buff Leghorns from
Oregon, Black Orpingtons from Walla
walla, White Cornish from vancou-
YER, b. c., and various individual ex-
hibits from Aberdeen. Hoquiam, Win
lock, Everson, Seattle. Auburn and
Puyallup, and from various points in
Eastern Washington.
Children's Exhibit Good.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures Of the entire display is the Sec
ton given over to the exhibits by the
members of the boys and girls divis-
ion Of the local association. including
entries of rabbits as we'll as poultry.
The pet stock division Of the general
display, by the way, is an exception
ally good one and is proving inter
esting to visitors.
The local show has more than
doubled in size during the last two
or three years. and the officers expect
II to continue to grow until 1t be-
comes one Of the leading shows IN the
state. Heretofore the number OF en-
tries has usually been from eco to
900 so that this years total OF over
200 is highly satisfactory to the pro-
moters. There were only 957 entries
in the big show in Seattle last week.
The officers Of the local association
are r. A. Lee, president; o. A. Tor
pe1eon, vice president. and T. r.
Horn. secretary.
