Very Susplc ous.

There is a rumOr that Carson
Ratiff has gotten married. We
can't swear to the facts in the
case, but know that Carson was
running around town the first of
this week with an extra rib. He
looked like he had just had a
knot tied that he couldn't unite
without the help of the court and
furthermore like he was satisfied
with his horrible condition. Ow-
ing to the fact that we didn't
get to interview Carson we can
not give the details, but we
think that you would be safe in
throwing a rubber boot at him
or pouring a pound of perfectly
good rice down his neck.-Des

bone DRY" Law TO Be
PUT Up TO LEGI STATURE
Abolishes Permit System-Prohibits
Inportations Except for Sacra-
mental Purposes.

A bone dry" prohibition law, for
bidding entirely the importation and
possession of intoxicating liquor ex-
cept for sacramental purposes, and re-
stricting the sale of alcohol, will be
presented to the next legislature.
Decision to present the measure
was made by more than 100 prohibi-
ton workers from all parts of the
state at a meeting in Seattle Tuesday
afternoon under the auspices of the
Anti-Saloon League of Washington.
The measure provides for the abo-
lition Of the personal permit system
which went into effect January l.,
1916. and of the druggists permit
system in so far as it affects any liq-
uor except alcohol. Penalties for vio-
lations are severe.

liquors other than alcohol is allowed
only to ordained clergymen, priests
or rabbis actually ministering to a
congregation, who need the liquor for
sacramental purposes. The posses
sion of intoxicating liquors, except by
ministers, is also prohibited.

DISCUSS VIADUCT PLANS.
Factions in Waterway Controversy
Agree on West Fourth Project.

Plans for the construction of via
duct over the Des Chutes waterway
on West Fourth street at an estimated
cost of 100000 were discussed at a
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
Thursday afternoon of the various
persons interested in the waterway
situation, resulting in an apparent
settlement of the recent controversy
on this basis.
The meeting was called following
the receipt of letter by Mayor Mott
man from Col. j. B. Cavanagh, fed
eral engineer for this district, noti-
flying him that the city must remove
the present temporary bridge and
construct a drawbridge over the
waterway. The assistance of the state

struction of the new viaduct, work
upon which, it is hoped, will be under
way by next summer.

ALLIES MAY REJECT
GERMAN PEACE OFFER
NEWSPAPER COMMENT INDI.
Gates HOSTILITY TO
ENDING WAR.

Formal proposals by Germany and
her allies, made Tuesday, that nego-
tiations for peace in Europe be un-
dertaken, apparently will be rejected
by England, France and Russia, judg-
ing from the sarcastic comments of
allied newspapers, and such an out
come, it is believed, will mean that
the European war will be prosecuted
with still greater intensity on all
sides, with the responsibility for its
continuance placed on the allies.
Germany expected her peace pro-
posals might be rejected when she
made them, according to advices re-
ceived in diplomatic circles in the
United States, but the opinions Of
neutral diplomats at Washington, D.
c., agree that Germany has made q
master move in diplomatic and world
politics, and strong bid for the SYM
pathy of the neutral world which It
will be hard to Offset.
No official comments have been,
forthcoming from any of the allied,
governments, while the action which,
the United States may take looking,
to a renewal of its offer of media-
ton, will not be decided until Presi-
dent Wilson receives Information as.
to the sentiment in the various ma
tions on the subject. Washington Of
ficials do not look for the situation to-
crystalize until the first of next week.
President Wilson would like to
evolve through peace negotiations an
association of nations designed to
keep the peace, and II he can see his
way clear to do SO, he will suggest
such q proposition in transmitting
the German peace suggestions to the
allies. The greatest good that will
come from the German offer, 1t is be-
lieved, will be to revive the efforts
Of neutrals to bring about peace.

FREEMAN BROWN HURT IN
TACOMA AUTO ACCIDENT
Well.knOwn Pioneer, Former Olym.
plan, Is Badly Cut
About Face.

Old-time Olympia residents learned
with regret this week of the accident
which befell Freeman w. Brown, a
former resident of Olympia and one
of the oldest pioneers of the state,
who was seriously injured in Tacoma
last Saturday afternoon when he
tripped over rail of the street car
track on st. Helens avenue and fell
against the running board of a pass
ing automobile.
Mr.. Brown was taken to the Taco
ma General hospital for treatment,
having received several bad cuts about
the face. Mr.. Brown is "a years old,
and his advanced age increased the
apprehension of friends when they
learned of the accident. Attending
physicians, however, reported that the
injuries were not serious and that he
would be able to leave the hospital
after few days treatment.
Mr.. Brown first came to the state
in 1854. and was a member of Cap
tain Gilmore Hays company Of vol
unteers who successfully conducted a
against the Indians. He
made his home in Olympia for years,
and the family is very we'll known
here, one of the sons, Fred Brown,
having served Thurston county as en-
gineer and school superintendent.

FARM AGENT TO START
WORK HERE JANUARY |
Lack Of Funds Causes Delay, Super
visor COglan Writes Fred w.
Lewis.

+. Thurston county's farm agent will
arrive about January 1, if the United
States department of agriculture car
ries out an agreement recently made
according to word received this week
by Fred w. Lewis, of Brighton Park,
from r. B. Coglan, state supervisor
Of county agents for the Extension
Department of the State College.
The agent was to have started work
here November 1. according to the
contract the county commissioners
signed with Mr.. Coglan last summer,
but Mr.. Coglan explains that the ex-
tension departments lack of funds
made this impossible. The federal
department of agriculture, however,
has practically agreed to advance the
the money with which to
carry on this work until its own
funds become available next July.
On this basis, Mr.. Coglan writes
Mr.. Lewis that he expects to have an
agent in the field here by the first of
the year. He expresses regret that
the expert could not have been here
in time for the agricultural extern
sion school. for the opportunity It
offered to become acquainted with
farmers. Mr.. Coglan plans to spend
several days here with the new
agent, to assist him in planning his
work and getting 1t started.

RETURNS FROM TRIP
TO OVERLAND PLANT
w. f. BRONSON ENTHUSIASTIC
ABOUT BIG AUTO FACTORY
AND ORGANIZATION.

Enthusiastic over the Overland
models for the coming season and
tickled with the trip he had, w. E.
Bronson, of the Bronson & La Cue
Auto company, local Overland repre-
sentatives, returned Tuesday from a
visit at the Willys-Overland factory
in Toledo, Ohio, where 5000 Over
land dealers gathered the fore part
of this month as guests of the COM
pany.
Recounting his trip, made on a spe-
cial train with 228 other Overland
dealers from Washington, Oregon,
California and Nevada, Mr.. Bronson
says he was chiefly impressed with
the fact that the company is directed
and handled by men in the prime Of
life, all of the heads Of departments
and superintendents being young
men, while there were mighty few
gray-haired dealers. To this youth
and Il b" among the directing heads
of the organization Mr.. Bronson as
cribes the energy and enthusiasm
which has pushed the business ahead.
Size of Business Remarkable.
The immensity of the business, of
the plant, machines, stocks of mate
rials, and the speed and precision
with which the finished cars are pro-
duced. are remarkable, Mr.. Bronson
says, referring as a sample to the
six-story administration building
housing the company's Offices, the
top floor of which is given over to
q restaurant, where 500 of the deal
ers were fed at a time, and to an
auditorium seating $500. On the
company's payroll are 1890 en-
ployes.
The dealers, during their two-day
stay at the plant, first made an in
spection tour of the plant. the guides
being carefully picked men who
knew the factory from end to end,
and the parties small SO that each
member could have his questions an
swered. This trip took two and a
half hours, and then the dealers ad-
journed to the auditorium, where for
another two hours moving picture
machines displayed to them the de-
tails of all the important manufac-
turing processes.
The new models for the coming
season constitute a beautiful line OF
cars and aroused enthusiasm OF all
the dealers, Mr.. Bronson says. He
expects a carload shipment to arrive
about January /. which will enable
him to display the leading models to
all interested persons in this terri
tory. A feature Of the company's
policy, referred to by all department
heads in speaking to the dealers. was
that It had attained the quantity OF
production desired and that here
after all Of its efforts would be d.
rected to constant Improvements IN
the machines.
While at the plant. the Northwest
dealers presented John N. WHY'S,
president Of the company. with a
bouquet Of Washington flowers, Fred
Chandler, the Overland dealer at
North Yakima. making the presenta'
t,on. The train on which the North
west dealers travelled consisted or
nine sleepers. two diners. club car
and two observation cars. all con-
nected by a telephone system. This
train. It was estimated. was the most
expensive OF all Of the snecials pro
vided by the COMPANY for its deal
ers. because 1t Travelled the longest
d;stance. and cost in the ne'gnpor-
hood Of $35.ooo.
