cause of your superior training l would
be no match for you. But il nature
denies me the art the strength of

decide whether l should be promoted

gresham, into thought-createor, an
editor.

DEMOCRAT VOTE
IS VERY LIGHT
Displays Slight
Interest in the Primary Elect
ions Last Week.
FEW CONTESTS IS CAUSE
Less Than 600 Democratic
Tickets Are Voted. Sheeks
and Abel Are Elected.

MONTESANO, Sept 21-The official
canvass of the vote of the county did
not alter the results as shown by the
Herald last week. Some of the candi-
dates gained on the official count and
some lost, but not enough either way
to change the result. The vote for
representative in the 29th district was
exceedingly close, standing, Graham,
2,61O; Gauntlet, 1885, and Brewer,
1858. For superior Judge there were
1924 votes cast, Sheeks leading with
4,384, followed by Abel with 4,236,
Hutcheson 2,054, Philbrick 2,O21 and
Taggart 1925. Sheeks and Abel, hav-
ing received more than so per cent
of the vote cast, are electend, and will
have no opposition in November
Democratic Vote Light

the Democratic ticket was the cause
Of very light vote by that party, the
total vote in the county being but

NEW YORK, Sept. 81. .(Special.)-
The New York World exposure of the
Republican committees plans to repre-
sent in motion pictures President Will
son asleep at his desk while Catholic
nuns are assaulted by Villa bandits
caused CONSERVATION and chagrin to-
day in Republican circles. Frantic ef-
forts were made to disavow RESPONSE
bility. but the World follows up it's
exposure by printing the circular sent
out from Republican headquarters Of
fering the film for production.
The World story in part is as fol-
lows:
Having censored the moving pic
ture film entitled 'Watchful Waiting
to such an extent that most Of the
work described in yesterdays World
will have to be done over again. some
of the members of the Republican ma
tional committee yesterday denied that
the pictures as described had ever
been approved.
Former Senator Everett Colby Of
New Jersey, in charge of the Repub-
lican moving picture campaign, was
the spokesman for the committee. His
statements were to the effect that it
was preposterous to say that any
thing indecent would be produced,
and, while he refused to give any de-
tails whatever of the picture he had
viewed earlier In the day, he inferred
that if 1t did contain the scenes spok-
en- of in the World that the committee
would not for one moment sanction 1t.
1.-THE World has come into posses
sion of a circular prepared at Repub-
lican national committee headquarters,
in which the Hal Reid photoplay is de-
scribed. This circular was to be sent
to county chairmen all over the coun-
try. That 1t has been generally dis
tributed is not asserted, but at least
one copy of it has been sent out to a

CONWAY TALKS
TO WILSON CLUB
Aberdeen Attorney Reviews
Campaign Issues Before the
Hoquiam Wilson Club

HOQUIAM, Sept. 21.-The weekly
meeting of the Hoquiam Woodrow Will
son League last night was we'll at
tended and, as usual, quite number
of ladies were present. In opening the
meeting President P. ]. Mourant an
nounced that the league, now number
ing more than 800, had plans in prep
aration that were calculated to largely
increase the Wilson vote in Hoquiam
Captain A. T. Stream, who is Demo
cratic nominee for presidential elector
! was called upon and responded with
enthusiasm.
Attorney Fred R. Conway, of Aber'
deem, was the speaker Of the evening
and he held the audience in close at
tention for forty-five minutes. After
congratulating Hoquiam upon having
the largest Wilson club in the county
he reviewed the issues of the cam
paign in a most logical manner, say
ing the President may have made mis-
takes, and that If he had not he would
stand alone among men. But, he ask
ed, who can say that another would
have avoided them, or have made
| less.
He showed the Mexican situation to
have been bequeathed to the admin
istration by Taft, and quoted the lat
ter as advising the same "watchful
waiting" that when pursued by Will
son met with such hostile criticism
yet the statement by Taft was made
only seven days before he quit the
White House.
In the course of his speech, Mr.
| Conway paid his respects to the carp
ing criticism of 100 per cent candidate
Hughes, and his refusal to commit
himself by saying what he would have
done under similar circumstances
The Aberdeen attorney covered almost
every issue raised or attempted to be
raised by the Standpatters in the
campaign, and in a mastery, augmen.
tive manner showed the falsity or alb.
surdity of every claim for a return
to power made by the party which
was so severely discredited four years
ago, and at the close was warmly ap
plauded by the audience.

SHOCKED HIS WIFE

One of the funny stunts at the cir
Gus Tuesday was that of a young
man dressed and made up as wo-
man, who flirted with almost every
male person who come his way on
the grounds. A man, whom we will
call Billy G., because that is not his
name, was met with warm embrace
by the alleged lady. Not a whit
abashed accordingto witnesses. Billy
stood for it nobly, until glancing
around. he met the petrified gaze OF
his wife, when he gently disengaged
himself from the lady(?) and enter.
ed the seats.

derstood, does not prohibit combi-
nations, the purpose of which is to
avoid the waste of uncontrolled COM
petition, and at the same time, pre-
serve individual initiative.
3. No case can be found, nor can
any reason be advanced, denying the
right of lumber manufacturers enter
ing into an agreement whereby it is
contracted that they will not sell their
lumber below the cost line. The steel
case specifically hold that the law as
sumes that men are in business for a
profit, therefore, by agreeing not to
sell below the cost line they do not
agree as to price. The whole range of
competition is left open. There is no
competition rightly understood when
lumber is sold below cost, because
that condition will finally develop in
to the destruction of competitive con-
ditions.
Plan Outlined.
The commission is given the de-
tailed plan of the lumbermen for the
solution of their difficulties and ask
ed to point out any illegalities in the
suggestions for sales agencies and
other means of preventing selling be-
low cost. If the commission can point
out where there is illegality in this
procedure, no steps will be taken, but
il the commission cannot show that
there Is any legal error in the course
proposed, the lumbermen may assume
that they are clearly within their legal
rights in agreeing to ascertain the
true cost of production and agreeing
not to do business at loss.
The brief points out that the Sher-
man antitrust law has been decided
by the courts as applying only to COM
binations controlling the major por-
tion of the output Of given indus
try. The Lumber Manufacturers
associations, 1T is said, include only
about one-third of the production of
the countdy, and therefore can not be
said in any way to control the in
dustry.
AS specific remedies for the waste
full conditions in the industry, the
commission is asked to consider the
making of cost-finding investigations,
the establishment in various districts
of sales agencies, for the economical
marketing of the product, as for in
stance four for Oregon and Washing
ton west Of the Cascades, and two
east, one for redwood one for Cali
fornia pine, one for the Inland En-
pire, one for Minnesota pine, two for
Wisconsin and Michigan, three for
Southern hard woods and seven for
yellow pine. The commission is also
asked to consider the necessity of per-
mitting combination to secure foreign
export business, a recognition Of the
good work for the organization of the
industry done by the various trade as
, sociatiOns, and also to study the prob
lem of the tax problem in it's rela-
tion to the industry, and the need for
cooperation between the industry as
a commercial business and the gov
ernment, in its forest service, for the
conservation Of the lumber supply for
the future.

LITTLE DOROTHY KAUFMAN DIES
At TACOMA

Dorothy Kaufman, age six. daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. S. M. Kaufman,
died in Tacoma early Tuesday morn
ing, after an illness of one day. The
child had been visiting with her
grandparents in Tacoma for several
months, and was stricken suddenly
last Monday, with what at first ap-
peared to be an attack of measles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kaufman received a
telephone message Monday afternoon,
urging them to come to Tacoma at
once, as Dorothy was apparently very
ill. Burial was made in Tacoma.

Northwestern Lumber Manufacturers Deeply
Interested In Coming Decision of the
Federal Commission
TO AFFEC-. PROSPERITY OF PACIFIC COAST
National Lumber Association Files Brief With
Commission. Favorable Decision Is
Looked For

SEATTLE, Sept. 21.-The lumber
manufacturers of the Pacific North
west are awaiting with much anxiety
the decision of the federal trade COM
mission regarding the legality of the
proposed combination of lumbermen.
The decision will determine the status
of the new Douglas Fir Exploitation
e. Export company, and will also de-
eide if the lumbermen have the right
to enter into an agreement not to sell
lumber below the cost of production.
The Northwestern manufacturers
look upon the coming decision as the
most important one that has ever af-
fected the industry. II favorable, it
will mean that the exploitation Of for
.eign markets can be developed on a
tremendous scale and that the lumber
manufacturers of the entire country
can stabilize business conditions by
setting a standard price below which
no material will be sold. If the de-
cision is unfavorable it will mean a
continuance of present conditions
which, all manufacturers agree. are
rapidly becoming unbearable and
which tend to destroy the entire in
Adustry.
The whole matter was submitted to
the commission by the National Lum-
Der Manufacturers association. The
West Coast association took a promi-
nent part in the proceedings and the
national organization filed brief
with the commission last week giving
the lumbermens side of the case. The
national association has the support
e of the Western dealers and practically
all the lumbermen in the United
Estates.
Waste Enormous.
The brief is a printed document of
143 pages, which outlines the lumber
mems ideas for the settlement Of the
vexing problems of the industry, and
. is a sequel to former volume which
indicated in detail, the nature of these
problems. In the former volume, the
lumbermen declared that the forests
of the nation were being sacrificed
at prices below cost of production,
that there was enormous waste in the
industry, because of an inability OF
the lumbermen to cooperate for the
elimination of abuses. 1t was shown
that IS per cent of every tree cut is
waste and never reaches the consumer.
Eventually this would mean a loss to
future generations by the destruction
wastefully Of the nations timber sup
ply.
Economic conditions force the
manufacturer to discard the less valu-
able portions of the tree, to get what
he can from the cream Of the forest.
The brief asks the federal commission
to point out any illegality in the lum-
bermen's method of solving the pro-
blems, and the essential points of the
Ibrief are as follows:
/. The lumbermen are not asking
the privilege Of fixing prices. All they
wish is to eliminate the waste that re-
suits from cut-throat competitive
practices.

CAPTAIN HOOK
IS DISMISSED
Long Time Member Of Police
Force Is Turned Down in
Mysterious Manner.

Captain G. H. Hook, who had served
eight years on the Aberdeen police
force, for the past year as captain,
was dismissed Wednesday afternoon
by Chief Schmidt, who first demanded
Hooks resignation, and which was ra-.
fused. After the council meeting Wed
nesday night, the police committee met
with Chief Schmidt and Hook, at the
request of the latter. to investigate
the matter. When demanding Hooks
resignation the chief said there were.
rumors of grating by the captain.
which, he said, he did not believe, but
wanted the resignation. To this. Hook.
demurred, saying that to resign would
be an admission of the truth of the
rumors and a reflection upon hin,
character that he would not sub
nit to.
The police committee informed Hook
that they knew Of nothing derogatory
to his character. and placed no ho3loG
in the rumors referred to, but were
inclined to criticize him for leniency
to drunks here during the Elks con-
vention. To this, Hook replied that
he had consulted with the mayor as to
the action to take at that time, and
said, he was told by the mayor to act
just as he did. He also stated that
he had requested the mayor to bA
present at this meeting of the COM
mittee to bear him out in that state
ment, but the mayor did not appear.
After the hearing, Hook turned in hin
police equipment, and is still wondey-
ing, as are his friends, just what the
sudden move means.
1t is said that neither the chief,
mayor or police committee have au-
thority under the law to dismiss q
member of the police force, that tha
statutes require the mayor to have
the consent of six members Of the
council before such dismissal, or nine
councilmen, without the mayor may
dismiss an officer. Just what action
Captain Hook will take is not known.
