WOMAN HURT WHEN AUTO
0vERTURNS At TEN|NO
Driver, Speeding to Pass Another
Car, Hits Gravel and Upsets
Machine.

When an automobile driven bv
Jerry Driscoll, of Centrala, turned
over on the Pacific highway about a
mile west of Tenino Sunday evening,
Mrs. Caswell of Centralia was serious
ly injured, the pelvic bone being
broken.
Driscoll was driving at high rate
of speed and attempted to pass an
other car going in the same direction.
The left wheels of his car ran into
the soft gravel and he attempted to
turn the car back into the road too
quickly with the result that the hind
wheels skidded around and the ma
chine over turned. 1t turned COM
pletely over and then up on it's left
side where it rested
Mr. and Mrs. Caswell were in the
back seat and it is thought that the
woman was thrown out and crushed
by the car as it turned over, though
the car was not resting on her when
it stopped. Caswell and Driscoll were

MANY ATTEND FORD PICNIC.
Offut Lake Entertains 5000 Autoists
Sunday-Dealers Pay Bill.

1t is estimated that 5000 persons
attended the annual Ford picnic at
Offut Lake Sunday. BY actual count
at O'Clock in the afternoon there
were 252 Fords and 60 cars of other
makes parked at the lake and before
that time many cars had come and
gone and many more arrived later.
The big crowd was entertained by
the Ford dealers of Tacoma, Olym-
pia, Chehalis, Centralia, Montesano
and Elma. Water sports occurred in
the early part of the afternoon and
free dancing from until furnished
diversion for a large portion of the
crowd. Others enjoyed swimming,
boating and other forms of entertain
ment.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LEVY.

There is a feature of this taxation proposition
that we are most apt to overlook, and that is the
amount of taxes levied in each school district
The county as a whole has nothing to do with
that, nor have the commissioners; the directors in
each district attend to it. Nearly half of the
money raised by taxation in this county is spent
on it's schools, and that is something each of you
in your own districts can and should have greater
control than any other taxing body in the
county.
See to it, then, when the budget for your school
district is made up by your directors and before
it goes to the commissioners that it is necessary
for the proper conduct of your school to spend
every cent of the money that will be provided to
spend If you have lot of money in the treas
ury-and there are quite a few districts in this
county that have-you can reduce the total of
your taxes next year by seeing to it that the di-
rectors of your district reduce the district school
levy. Don't cripple your district financially, but
don't raise any more money than is absolutely
essential.
There are greater possibilities for economy and
reduced taxes in the school levies than anywhere
else, for they compose the largest single item in
the total of the county levy.

WHY NOT A WILSON LEAGUE?

Woodrow Wilson Independent Leagues are
being organized in every county o1 the STATE and
in each large city leagues are now formed IN
King. Pierce. Walla Walia. SnohoInish. GraHs
IIarbor. Yakima, Spokane, Pacific, Whatcom,
Island and San Iaun counties - and it oc-
ours to it is high time for the admirers Of
Woodrow Wilson in Thur,ton county, regardless
OF party affiliations, to get busy and perfect an
organization here.
We have no doubt that there are many people
in this county as we'll as those III which leagues
have already been formed. who admire the presi-
dents policies and abors during the last three
years and who want to see him re elected tins
fall These leagues are organizations entirely in
dependent Of the Democratic party organization
and are composed Of persons who favor Wilson
over Hughes regardless Of their party atilia-
tons, and who have courage enough in their own
convictions to advocate openly his reelection.
There is demand for Woodrow Wilson In
dependent league here-lets organize one.

BRYAN'S INFLUENCE GONE?

Those who entertain the thought that the in
tluence of William Jennings Bryan in the Demo-
cratic organization is not what it was four years
ago, may find some food for reflection in the fact
that Roger Sullivan of Chicago and his friends
are to have neither part nor parcel in the manage
ment of the western campaign for Woodrow Will
son. Mr.. Bryan routed Sullivan and Wall Street
in the Baltimore convention. Both have been try
ing to get back since the convention at St Louis.
Sullivan is now disposed of. We shall probably
hear about Wall Street later

A letter received by Mr.. Barnes
from Mr. Phillip Reach states that a
party of workmen have been sent out
on the Natchess road, which will
doubtless open it in time for the i'm
migration of the present season. Mr..
Farnsworth says but trifling outlay
| is required to make it a passable road
some $400 or $500. This it will
be seen is not too low an estimate
when parties have traversed the en-
tire route with pack animals up to
the present time. Mr.. Longmire and
Mr.. Chambers and family of this
county crossed only a few weeks ago.
A locomotive on the Petaluma rail-
road exploded at the depot in San

and was killed by the pursuing party.
The other two were brought to town
Wednesday and were Immediately

captors and Sheriff Judson. A large
portion of the stolen money was re-
covered.
The great fire in Portland, Me-,
July 4th, consumed nearly half the

Roland H. Hartley of Everett. one Of the eight
Republican candidates for governor is entitled to
some admiration because he has nerve enough to
espouse openly the 'open shop theory. Six Of
the other seven are running on the same platform,
but they're keeping mighty still about it where
they think it will hurt Them which is all the more
reason why We should regret that Hartley hasn' t
any brains.

Certain United States senator's in discussing

the ground that commercial interests would be
hurt. But nobody seems to think Of having the
