a communication from Representative
Ben johnson. chairman Of the House

Chairman Johnson returned a copy of q
resolution adopted by the association
opposing the recommendation Of the
Commissioners to transfer the appoint
ments Of the board Of education and
the teachers to the Commissioners. In
HIS letter Mr.. Johnson stated that he
had returned the resolution. which was
adopted at regular. meeting held jan
uary Z, 1916. because of language
there contained rejecting on the
motives of .the Commissioners and
others. and. at the same time, suggest

says Mr. Lancaster in his letter. which
is dated January 81. 81 presided at said
meeting when the Aforesaid resolution
was presented to the meeting by a
member on the floor In the usual course
Of business. In the debate which en-
sued. no mention was made Of any in
dividual. as the discussion was confined
to policies and systems. It was strong
ly debated that this Recommendation
was an effort to destroy the merit sys.
tenn In our public schools and a politi.
cal scheme to return to the old hated

eminent departments not many years
ago.
Our members expressed their alb
horrence of the spoils system and
warmly praised the system now pre-
vaflfng in our public schools, where
the members of the board of education
and the teachers are appointed on
merit. They we'll remembered the evil
influences of the spoils system in the
past.

forceful and pointed and in the mind
of our members could rightly convey
only one danger. except to a man of

ed at that meeting without a dissent

rected to transmit a certified CODY of
said resolution to the committees Of the
Senate and House on the District of
Columbia, which duty I performed.
"In conclusion" says Mr.. Lancaster,

Of the committee il that 1t might be
wise to hear of the Commissioners
views on the proposed changes; fol-
lowing this, If the committee believes
that there IL something in the reasons

hearings to those opposing any Of the
many legislative items in the proposed
program.
Today's conference Is likely to result
in action on some Of the bills at an

WILL TRY TO REDUCE
CITY'S 1917 BUDGET
Running Expenses Must Be Lowered
For 1917-Problem Is to Where
to Apply the Knife.

The proposed budget covering the
city's running expenses for 1917 will
come up before a special meeting OF
the council Monday evening in the
council chambers. The meeting will
be public, and any citizen may ap.
pear and protest against any item or
items listed in the budget.
The city's revenue in 1917 is GER
tain to fall away short Of contemplate
ed expenditures, and it is absolutely
necessary to pare to the quick. some,
or all of the estimates placed on the
preliminary budget. But where the
cuts are to be made, or can be made
is a problem that will require the SER
vices of mathematicians, and not the
advocations of theorists.
In fact it is proposed that a num-
Der of prominent business men of the
city meet with the council and CO
operate with that body in an effort
to amputate the budget to a point
where the city's revenue will be at
least sufficient to spread thin coat
ing over the expenses. tits pro-
blem demanding earnest consider
alton, and no doubt members of the
council will be entirely willing to lis
ten to any suggestions offering prom
Use of solution.
AT the close of the regular council
meeting last Wednesday evening
Mayor J. M. Phillips made few re-
marks that are truly applicable tc
the situation now confronting the city
He said in part:
There is no question in my mind
that the general tendency today, in
the affairs of individuals is to live
sumptuously, even luXriously, while
these same individuals, representative
citizens of community, try and ever
demand that the affairs of the com
munity or city, be conducted on 9
basis bordering on parsimOny. Ii
my opinion Aberdeen will never be
able to progress materially by adopt
ing a niggardly regime Of public at
fairs-a city to advance must con
tinually lend it's efforts to improve
ments. Take the two big cities OF
the Sound-Seattle and Tacoma; ont
is, and always was, conducted on a 81
termed economical basis, but the othel
went ahead. Mind, I do not advocate
the expenditure of single cent be
yond what is absolutely necessary
but I do believe the city will suffe
a setback in development If econom!
is to be practiced to point that vii
choke our natural advancement"

WOMAN DENIES
HER INSANITY
Committed to Asylum, She
Escapes and Sues to Have
the Stigma Removed.

Mrs. Olive B. Dudley, who was COM
mitted to the insane asylum from Co.'S
mopolis last year, escaped from that
institution on Thanksgiving Day and
made her way to her former home, in
Portland. There she went under the
observation of three medical spec
ialists for six weeks, all Of who pro-
nounce her perfectly normal mental
ly.
Mrs. Dudley is the owner of a
lodging house in Cosmopolis, which
is managed by her daughter, and she
makes grave charges against those
responsible for her commitment. She
alleges that parties who desired to
acqire her property tried to freeze
her out" She has engaged Troy &
Studevant, Olympia attorneys. to
have her commitment stricken from
the records of this county, and it is
said the county authorities will seek
to prove her still insane. Her coun-
sci have demanded a jury trial, and
the case will be heard at the Novem-
Der term.

He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done. and he did It.
Somebody scoffed. "Oh. you'll never do
that.
At least no one ever has done It."
But he took off his coat. and he took of

And the first thing we knew he'd be-
With the lift Of his chin and bit Of a

Without any doubling or qulddit.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done. and he did It
There are thousands to tell you It can't

There are thousands to prophesy failure.
There are thousands to enumerate. one by

But just buckle In with a bit of grin,
Then take Off your coat and go to 1t.
Just start In to sing as you tackle the

a loss of about $4,000, which is COW
cred by insurance in the sum OF
$4,000. The manager and chief own
er, Alfred Beaulieu has not yet de-

be rebuilt.
The fire was discovered by the peo-
pie Of the town when the mill was
all aflame, the night Waterman hav-
ing gone home at 1885. 1t was i'm
possible, with the scant water supply,
to save the mill, but the employees
and the men of the place generally
managed to save the dry kilns and
several freight cars which stood on
the siding.

Entertained at Dinner by
Montesano Creamery Co.

Now butter and cheese, of the de-

nesday night to score of members
of the Aberdeen Chamber of Com
merce who travelled to the county
seat and were guests for the evening
of S. S. Morse, manager Of the Mon
tesano Creamery Company.
After being shown the many in
genious machines used in separating
the cream and making butter and
cheese, the visitors were taken to
downtown restaurant and served
an elaborate banquet. Cheese, cream,
brick and in pimiento sandwiches,
was the piece de resistance, flanked
by pitchers Of milk and topped off by
ice cream, all from the establishment
Of the POSTMASTER, Mr.. Morse. Meat
and salad were served, too, but there
was no room for them in the ana.
tonnes of most of the guests after
sampling the cheese.
Short addresses were made by Mr.
Bowes and others and Mr.. Morse, at
some length, explained the vreamery
and dairy industries, declaring his
belief that it would be useless for
Grays Harbor county concerns to
seek markets other than their i'm
mediate neighborhoods, as the big
cities seem to have adopted a set
tied policy Of discrimination against
anything from the outside. The
Montesano creamery is turning Out
100000 pounds of butter a year and
distributes $4,000 annually among
the farmers Of the county.
