BIG FIRE IN NEW YORK.
Six Persons Killed and $25, ,OOO,OOO
Property Destroyed by Explosions.

At least six persons were killed
and property loss estimated at $685.
100000 was caused early Sunday by
a series of terrific explosions of am
munition awaiting shipment to the
entente allies and stored on Black
Tom island, a small strip of land
jutting into New York bay off Jersey
City. The cause has not been deter
mined.
The detonations, which we're felt
in FIVE states, began with a contin-
uous rapid fire of small shells, the
blowing up Of great quantities of dy-
Mantle, trainitrotoluene and other
high explosives, followed by the
bursting of thousands of shrapnel
shells, which literally showered the
surrounding country and waters for
many miles around. Fire started
soon after the first great crash.

WOULD AVOID BIG STRIKE.
President Watching Railroad Situa-
tiOn-May Offer Aid to Settlement.

With reports from New York that
"a preponderant number of the men
are in favor of a strike" officials of
the federal government, including
President Wilson, are closely watch
ing developments in the controversy
between 225 railroad systems and
their 100000 employees, and are pre-
pairing to offer every possible aid in
effecting an agreement and avoiding
strike.
Wednesday the president forwarded
to the labor department an appeal he
had received from the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, de-
claring a strike is inevitable "unless
some strong measures of Intervention
are speedily introduced" and urging
an inquiry.

ATTACKS LEGALITY OF
LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT
Suit May Result In Calling Special
Session to Straighten Out
Muddle.

Washington's legislators may be
called in special session as the result
Of mandamus proceedings brought in
the supreme court by Senator e. B.
Palmer of Seattle, chairman of the
senate re-apportionment committee,
to compel the secretary of state to
accept the fling of r. l.. Warson for
state senator from Mason and Kitsap
counties. The case will be heard by
the supreme court today in an effort
to work out a badly muddled situa-
tion before the primaries.
The SUIT comes as the result of the
legislatures failure in the 1913 and
1915 sessions to re-apportion the
senatorial and legislative districts of
the state in accordance with the 1910
census. The constitution makes such
re-districting mandatory. The pres
ent suit is based on the argument
that, as the legislature failed to obey
the constitution. the present districts
are illegal and the districts are as
originally established.
If the supreme court upholds this
argument, the general opinion is that
special session of the legislature
will be necessary to straighten out
the tangle though there are some
who claim the court can neither COM
pei the governor t. call special ses-
sion nor the legislature to re-appor-
tion the state. and that therefore 1t
will have to legalize the present dis
tricts.

HAVE
COMPLETE TICKET
THIRTY ASPIRANTS SEEK NOMI-
NATIONS TO COUNTY OFFICES
IN PRIMARY.

|. With candidates filed for all of the
county offices, complete Republican
ticket is now in the field for the Sep
tember primaries. Altogether there
are 80 Republicans in the campaign
for nominations for the different
Offices. Only one candidate so far
has filed for the Non-Partisan ticket,
but the time for fling does not close
until August ~.
Twelve candidates, IL of them Re-
publicans. filed during the past
week. Among them were P. H. Car
lyon and L. J. Morrison, who seek
denomination and reelection AZ SEN
ator and representative, respectively;
and Miss Annie CASTOR, to succeed
herself as county auditor. c. C..
Aspinwall of Mud Bay and William
F. James and A. N. Sargent of Grand
Mound are also candidates for rep
resentative.
Two more candidates for sheriff.
d. B. Conner and James A. Van
Eaton. filed this week, and another
candidate for engineer, Ernest L..
Wolf. Robert s. Smith of Yelm is
the fourth to enter the race for COM
missioner in the Second district.
while Thos. L. O'Leary. who was de-
feated by Prosecuting Attorney Geo.
F. Yantis two years ago, again seeks
the nomination for that ONCE on the
Republican ticket.
Whether any more candidates will
file on the Republican ticket is un-
known, but as every one previously
announced, with one or two excep-
tions. is now formally in the field,
the general political opinion locally
is that the race is now pretty we'll
set. Several of the candidates, in
cluding County Superintendent o. c.
Goss, County Clerk I. N. Holmes,
Treasurer Fred w. Stocking, Auditor
Annie CASTOR. Senator p. H. Carylon
and J. G. Sans as commissioner in
the First district, have clear fields
for the nomination. There has been
some talk of primary opposition to
two or three Of these, but none has
so far developed.
An interesting feature Of the Re-
publican primary situation Is that
half of the candidates hail from
Olympia and that the representation
Of the other parts Of the county in
the primary will be small. The fact
that there are several Olympia aspi-
rants for the nominations for three
or four Of the ofices, however, is ad-
vanced by some as an indication that
the outside man has the edge OF 1t on
his city brothers.

CANNfRY RE0PENEO, TO
Be OPERATED ALL SEASON
Local Plant Now Running Full Blast
Seattle House May Be Closed.

The local cannery is again running
full blast, Manager Mark Ewald hav-
ing come over from Seattle and re-
opened It the fore part of this week,
and its operation will be continued
throughout the present season. The
total production this year will be
about the same as last, $4,000 cases,
Mr.. Ewald says.
Inability to obtain fruits and ber-
ries in the Seattle markets prompted
the re-opening of the local cannery,
Mr.. Ewald said. The firm, the Ma
t'onal Canning company, erected a
large plant in Seattle this spring and
closed down the local cannery, assert
ing that it had to ship in about 80 per
cent of its supply.
The fruit and berry crop this year
is far below normal in all parts of the
state. Mr.. Ewald says, and especially
In Eastern Washington, where the
pear orchards were practically ruined
by a heavy frost last May and the
crop will be only about Is per cent of
normal. 1t is likely that the COM
pany will shut down its Seattle plant
within a short time, unless larger
supply of fruit and berries comes on.
Mr.. Ewald says, and will put up its
entire pack" in the local cannery.
