TUMWATER PIONEER DIES
At A TACOMA HOSPITAL
Mrs. Susie a. RabbiSOn. One of Olym-
pias Founders, Succumbs to
Long Illness.

Mrs. Susie A. Rabbison, 81 years
old, an 1850 pioneer of the state of
Washington and a member of the
party that founded Olympia. died at
a Tacoma hospital Monday, following
an illness of several weeks. The
death of Mrs. Rabbison marks the
passing of one of the Oldest pioneers
of the state and one who was an ac-
tive figure in the pioneer days of
Washington. From 1850 until 1907
she lived at Tumwater on the old
homestead that was settled when the
state was in it's infancy.
In the pioneer days of the early
sos Mrs. Rabbison, with her family
of seven children, took an active part
When the Indians rose up in revolt
against the invasion of the white man
the story is told how many pioneers
found shelter and protection at the
Rabbison home.
The first grist mill erected on
Puget Sound was built by Mr.. Rabbi
son upon his arrival at Tumwater
To this mill pioneers from all parts OF
the Sound came with their bags of
wheat and went home with flour to
tide them over the winter
Owing to the fact that it sometimes
took days to get all the -four ground
the Rabbison home became commu-
nifty center for the pioneers and there
is said to be hardly an old resident in
this part of the state who does not
remember the impartial hospitality OF
Mrs. Rabbison.
Mrs. Rabbison is survived by three
childreA. One daughter, Mrs. ]. H.
Foultz, of Tacoma, and two sons, Ed
and Charley Rabbison, reside in this
city.

UNVElL TRAIL MARKERS.

A large number of people, includ-

COUNTY 70 RAISE $4,000
LESS IN TAXES FOR 1917
Big Cash Balance and Proposed Cut
in Road and Bridge Levy
Responsible.

Reductions that will make the
amount of money to be raised by
taxes in Thurston county next year at
least 100000 less than this year are
being made by the county commits
sioners in the proposed allowances
for the different county departments
which they expect to complete some
time Friday. The budget will not be
finally adopted until October, after
taxpayers have had an opportunity to
confer with the board.
Owing to the possibility that the
budget law subject to the referendum
at the November election may be
adopted, the commissioners have had
to revise entirely the system of max
ing up the annual budget, eliminat-
ing the general current expense fund
and apportioning to each department
the expenses previously paid in bulk
from this fund. In arriving at this
result they have been comforting with
AL Helander of the state bureau of
inspection.
Some $4,000 of the reduction
will come from the cash paid the
county by the Weyerhaueser Timber
company on delinquent taxes levied
in previous years, the commissioners
anticipating that there will be at
least that much on hand in the cur
rent expense fund at the end of this
year. A further cut of $1,000 in the
general road and bridge fund, as the
result of proposed reduction of half
a mill in that levy, and smaller re-
ductions in other departments, will
make the total cut about $4,000.
The county raised practically
$4,000 this year for the expenses
Of it's government and the $4,000
cut would mean a reduction of about
mills in the county levy, were il
not for the fact that the valuations
are a half a million dollars less this
year.

PRAISE WILSON FOR
PREVENTING STRIKE
REPUBLICAN AND INDEPENDENT
NEWSPAPERS GIVE PRESI-
DENT CREDIT.

President Wilson's resolute stand
in the railroad controversy, which has
succeeded in averting a nationwide
strike. is receiving the cordial ap-
proval of many nytRepublican and inde-
pendent newspapers as we'll as the
whole-hearted support of the Demo-
cratic press.
Newspapers which are supporting
Mr.. Hughes frankly assert that the
president is entitled to the thanks OF
the country for preventing what most
of them describe as national calam-
ity which threatened to destroy the
industrial peace of the country" and
the president is warmly applauded for
the courage and wisdom with which
he met the situation. Some Of these
comments follow:
New York Herald independent
Republican,: "The country has just
escaped a railroad strike which
threatened to involve the entire coun-
try, which menaced our national
peace, our national existence; which
would have dislocated the entire So
cial fabric, and might have led to a
long procession of ills SO serious that
to contemplate them Is abhorrent,
and it has been averted through the
resolute action of President Wilson,"
The Herald, repeating what it had
said before, commented Tuesday:
"All honor to Mr.. Wilson for hav-
ing induced congress to pass the bill
which led to the resembling of the
strike order, but what individual who
is engaged in criticising this act of
congress, what editor, what railroad
president, what member Of congress
who voted No. what economist who
would have settled the matter in
some way unexplained-what single
individual would have accepted the
responsibility of letting the strike be-
gin?
president Wilson has shown great
ability by the decisive part he took
in the railroad crisis, and congress Is
entitled to the thanks of the country,
not only for preventing strike that
would have been a national calamity,
but for passing a national eight-hour
law for men in actual train service.
For this law is right and just, with
out regard to the extraordinary cir
cumstances Of its enactment"
Binghampton Press independently !:
"Yet the president has sought to
favor neither side in this controversy.
He has indeed expressed his desire to
70 to any length possible to preserve
industrial peace. He has acted for
the larger interests Of the public, and
his course has not met with the un-
qualified approval Of the workers nor
of the railroad managers. but 1t has
met with the general approval Of the
public. The public believes there Is
nothing unreasonable in the proposal
to make an eight-hour day the basis
for computing wages"

ana Fatty" and Chuck" I want to
talk to you - a really serious. talk
about a terribly vital matter.
Monday l heard three boys being
sentenced to spend at least two years
In the Pontiac reform school and
only one of the boys was out of his
teens and all of them a little while
ago were boys just like you that I
am talking to now.
After they were sentenced they
were taken to detective headquar-
tiers and "mUgged," which means
that their photographs and measure
ments will be on file for the police
and detectives to recognize so long
as the boys live. It means that if
they pick up the threads of their lives
and try to advance in some profess
sion they may be thrown back at any
time when someone recognizes the
mug" in the rogues' gallery; it
means that if they merely drift, even
though not criminally, they will be
picked up as suspects" time and
again and never really be free of the
tolls of the law.
They were sentenced to Pontiac
for stealing an automobile tire val
ued at So. When they come out of
Pontiac, after two of the best years
Of their lives have been wasted, they
may be tried on the charge of steal
ing four cars, each of which was
abandoned after a 10y ride" and
thew NAV all of them on IN Toilet
penitentiary for from one to ten
years on each charge.
They are three boys out of hun
