Season Opens for
Stripping Bark of
Cascara off Tree
SMALL BOY AND ADULT, TOO,
CAN MAKE GOOD MONEY BY
DAY SPENT IN WOODS
Pealing Time, Which Is Opening Now,
Will Not Close Until Next
August

The delightful weather with which
May is opening carries an invitation
to the woods. For the next four
months the small boy can take his
outing Saturday and make good mon
ey peeling cascara bark from the
trees which grow thickly in many
sections Of Grays Harbor. There is
good profit, too, for the adult in put.
ting in day at getting cascara bark.
According to bulletin of the forest
service, steady demand for this
bark for medicinal purposes, both in
the United States and in Europe, ex.
lists. Before the war most of the ex.
ported product went to England and
Germany.
The cascara bark industry began,
it is asserted, in California about
1865. The tree from which it is OBJ
tanned is variously known as cascara
chittim, and bearberry.
The peeling season opens in April
and closes when the bark begins to
tighten in August. The bark is taken
off the tree in as long strips as pos.
sible, spread on canvas or other ma.
terial to keep it off the ground, and
dried in the sun.
Fifteen years ago there was a scare
ity of bark in the worlds markets, and
it brought the settler from ten to
twenty cents a pound, even running
as high as 20 cents. This meant a
good profit for the bark gatherer. For
the past seven years, however, the
price has been from 31a to cents
per pound at Portland ,and as a re-
suit the ranchers have lost much of
their interest in bark peeling, and
engage in it only when nothing bet
ter is in sight. There are some. how
ever, who are so situated that they
can afford to hold the bark, awaiting
the rise in price which they think
depends upon the war in Europe.

ABERDEEN
PROVES IT
IS GROWING
Figures Show so Fami-
lies Added in Past
Month
BUSINESS is BETTER
Shipyards Have All They
Can Do to Handle
Contracts

Aberdeen is growing. Sixty families
were added to the population in the
past month.
Aberdeen business enterprises are
waxing apace. Particularly is this
true of shipbuilding.
Records of the city water depart
ment for April show that water was
turned on in 81 new homes, as against
20 places where it was shut off. Re-
suit: SO families added to the pOpu-
lation.
Both the Aberdeen shipyards on the
Wishkah and the Grays Harbor ship
yards on the Chehalis are putting
more men on the payroll, as work pro-
crosses. That explains a part of the
increase in population in the past few
weeks.
C. M. Weatherwax, on his return q
few days ago from three months
visit in California, saw big change
| in conditions here. He ascribes it, in
large part, to the revival of the ship
building industry in Aberdeen. Five
years of continuous prosperity Tor
Grays Harbor are predicted confident
ly by Weatherwax. y
| AS Weatherwax is quoted, Andrew
Peterson could be building dozen
ships at the yards on the Wishkah
instead of the three now on the ways,
if he only had the room. AS it is.
Petersons payroll in a very short
time will be carrying 120 men. A.
Schubach, lessee of the old Lindstrom
yards, figures that within few weeks
he will have 200 men on and, as soon
as he has room for four ships on the
! ways, the force will be increased to
300. At the Chris Endresen spar
yards there is working, on an aver
age, force of 80 men. The combin-
ed payroll of Aberdeen shipyards, be-
fore 1916 is over, will amount to close
to 100000 year.

START REDPATH
SEASON COURSE
Ticket Sale Will Be Or
ened Soon by Com
mittee Here

Sale of tickets for the Redpath
Lyceum Bureau course, to be given
here this summer, will be started
soon, it was decided Monday night
at meeting of the committee of To-
cal citizens who will handle arrange
ments. w. c. Mumaw was chairman
and A. E. Graham secretary of the
meeting. and it was decided to put
the price of season tickets for adults
at 50; for students, 81; for others
under 1S years, Is cents. Adults sim
gle admission will be rs cents; under
1S years, 35 cents.
Should surplus accumulate from
the course, it was determined that it
should constitute fund for a similar
course next year or for any similar
purpose. Thus the undertaking re-
mains a community enterprise entire
ly, not private one.

ALL DANGER OF
STRIKE IN MILLS
HERE NOW OVER

All danger of a strike in shingle
mills seems now to be over. The
difficulty has been settled on Grays
Harbor, partly by mills granting the
demands of shingle weavers and pack
ers for increase of wage scale to 16
cents for the former and 10 cents for
the latter, the scale in effect prior
to the advent of the past few years
depression, partly by compromises
reached in some cases. In Seattle
the trouble, too, is over, and the Ev-
erett situation is assuming better
shape.

Out of What War?

The only argument advanced by the Democrats is that
President Wilson kept out of the war" Out of what

American produce and which will go down suddenly

Vera Cruz and killed three hundred Mexcans-not
to protect American lives but solely interfere with the
internal affairs of Mexico which had business do.
If the killing of those Mexcans war, then it
murder! There is other alternative.
The fact that President Wilson has kept us out of
in Mexico but that his blunders have created
don of with that countryat least in the hearts of
those people. In the meantime have lost the respect
and confidence of neighborng republics; and
American citizen view the of President Wilson
in dealing with the Mexican situation without feeling
OF shame.
The Wilson administration has been the most wasteul

High Cost of
Wilson

Every wage-earner is in need of
that protection and of a return to
conditions that furnish not only
permanent employment BUT A
REDUCTION OF LIVING.
The Republican party stands for
protection and preparedness,
against the competition that would
be unfair to American producers.
The Democratic party is against
protection, and would let this
country go into the commercial war
which must come, as poorly pre-
pared to protect itself as it is for
military defense now. That is
question that affects every man,
woman and child.

"HE farming and laboring
classes feel more than any
Il other, perhaps, the necessity
of protection as against the
competition Of the cheap labor of
foreign countries.
This protection has always been
guaranteed by the Republican
party, and has always been denied
by the Democratic party. Because
of the withdrawal of this protection
through the enactment of the Dem
ocratic Tariff law, the price of
products was reduced to a decid-
edly low level, a condition that ex-
listed during President Wilson's adj
ministration, up to the outbreak of
the European war.
Every Idaho farmer remembers
that during those times he could
not get enough for his potatoes, for
example, to hardly pay for sacking
them; other prices were in proper
ton. For over two years the farm
ers have been protected by wall
of war as effectively as though they
had been given the protection of
the Republican tariff.
But without a Republican tariff
it is obvious that after the war they
will be reduced to the same condi-
tons that confronted them before
the war unless given tariff protec-
ton, for so soon as the war shall
end there will be flood of foreign
Importation, of grain and other
foodstuffs. The present free trade
policy of the Democratic party will
be continued unless the people elect
Mr. Hughes president, and rein
stall the Republican party in
power.
