HOUSE PASSES WILSON'S
TARIFF BOARD MEASURE
Revenue Bill Also Increases Income
Tax and Levies on Munitions
Repeats War Stamps.

The administration omnibus reve-
nue. bill, creating a tariff commission,
imposing a protective tariff on dye
stuffs, repeating present stamp taxes
and providing for new taxes on in
comes, inheritances and war NUM-
tions profits, passed the house late
Tuesday.
The bill, which now goes to the
senate, increases the surtax on in
comes ranging from an additional /
per cent on incomes between 100000
and $4,000 to 10 per cent additional
on those above 100000, and taxes
transfers of estates valued at $4,000
or more and net profits of war NUM-
tions manufactures, with an exemp-
tion to those having less than 10 per
cent profit. The new taxes are ex-
pected to yield $197,000,O00 an
nually.
The proposed tariff commission is
to be composed of five members, no
more than three to be of the same
political party, and is to have broad
powers of investigation. The bill
also carries an anti-dumping provi-
sion to protect American producers
from unfair foreign trade practices.

GERMANS SEND FIRST
U.B0AT ACROSS OCEAN
Giant Submarine, With $1,000, 900
Cargo, Docks in Baltimore
HarbOr.

The flrst-tine-in-history trip across
the Atlantic of the worlds largest
submarine ended in the harbor Of
Baltimore, Nd, Monday morning,
when the Deutschland" laden with
a 100000 cargo of dyestuffs, sue
cessfully closed it's daredevil journey
from Germany. When customs men
and doctors scrambled aboard the
submarine they wrote finis to the
first chapter of one of the biggest and
most dramatic marine CANDLES of all
time.
This is authoritatively stated by
its captain to be but the first of a
fleet of eight submarine merchant
men built by Bremen merchants, the
second of which is already on it's way
to the United States from Bremen.
The Deutschland left Heligoland
June 20, and expects to start within
the next week on it's return to Ger
many with a cargo of rubber and
metals. Meanwhile, official investi-
cation by the United States has es-
tablished that the Deutschland is an
ordinary merchantmen, bearing no
arms of any kind.
Astonishment was expressed on
every hand at the Germans feat and
the remarkable journey past lurking
allied ships across the Atlantic-the
running of a blockade that England
had claimed could not be pierced.
The Deutschland is the first vessel
under the German merchant flag to
enter an American port since the
early days of the war, when Teutonic
craft raced in to save themselves
from British warships.
"Great Britain cannot hinder boats
such as ours going and coming as we
please" says the captains oficial

PURCHASE
OF CARLY0N TRACT
ORANGES ENDORSE PLAN, BUT
AGRICULTURAL BUREAU
TURNS 1T DOWN.

Whether Thurston county should
purchase the Carlyon tract of 80
acres on the southern edge of the
city for county poor farm and hos
pital, and site that could be leased
to fair association, may be deter
mined by the county commissioners
next Monday. The proposition has
been pending for several weeks and
endorsed by eight of the subordinate
oranges of the county, though reject
ed by the Agricultural Bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The purchase of the tract Is said
to be looked upon favorably by the
county commissioners, who have
called for expressions of opinion from
the organizations of the city and
county. Unlike four years ago, when
q somewhat similar proposal was
voted down by about 3 to l. the SEN
timent in the county, so far reported,
has been unanimously in favor Of It.
The general proposition calls for
the purchase of the tract for $4,000,
an allowance Of $4,000 for the pres
ent 20-acre poor farm cutting the
cash outlay down to $26,0O0. The
commissioners, however, may propose
q lower figure as the net amount to be
paid by the county for the property.
The payment recently of some $780,
900 in back taxes by the Weyerhaue-
ser interests, paying of all the bond
ed and warrant Indebtedness of the
county and giving it a considerable
cash balance besides, as we'll as the
renewed interest in the county fair
plans, prompted a revival of the pro-
ject.
Arguments Against Purchase.
The Agricultural Bureaus disap-
proval of the project followed heat
ed discussion at a special meeting
Tuesday night, at which various OBJ
jections, including the price of the
property, the advisability of making
a change from the present poor farm,
the likelihood that sites considered to
be as good or better could be OBJ
tained for much less, and the cost
and advisability of maintaining
poor farm, county hospital, demon
stration farm and county fair all in
one place, were made.
The proposition was originally put
before the Bureau at its regular
meeting last Friday night, but be-
cause of the small attendance then.
It was decided to call a special meet
ing later. Some Is or 20 members
attended Tuesday nights gathering
and argued the proposal pro and con
principally con-for an hour and
a half, and then voted 1t down.
Commissioner Littlejohn stated
that he preferred to put the PROPOSE
ton up to a vote at the general cleo
ton again this fall, but Carlyon's rep
resentative, o. H. Hartscon, asserted
that II the county wanted to buy the
tract It would have to do so now, or
else it would be sold to Seattle par
ties, who, he said, plan to cut 1t up
into smaller plots and put it on the
market.
Donated for Fair.
The county fair was held on this
site last year, the grounds being do
mated, and similar arrangements had
been made with Mr.. Carlyon for this
wears show in September. One OF
the arguments in favor Of the pur-

CHAUTAUQUA
TO Be BIG SUCCESS
ADVANCE TICKET SALE FOR
OLYMPIA'S ENTERTAINMENT
WEEK is PROMISING.

With two-thirds of the guaranteed
600 tickets already sold, according to
the report of ]. M. Hit, chairman of
the sales committee, the campaign for
Olympia's first Chautauqua week is
progressing satisfactorily and the To-
cal guarantors are confident that the
weeks entertainment will be a big
success.
The ticket selling campaign was
started off with a rush this week with
a big automobile parade Monday ev-
ening, led by the local band. Each
of the 40 guarantors has been assign
ed a district and made responsible
for the ticket sales in that district,
and the live-wire members Of the To-
cal committee have been making q
systematic canvass of the city. The
result is they feel confident that when
the ChautauQua opens next Monday.
the guarantee of 500 tickets will be
over-sold. After Monday noon the
Ellison White Chautauqua System
takes over the sale Of the tickets,
and the price advances to So.
Reports received from other cities
where the Chautauqua has already
appeared are very enthusiastic over
the program. On Monday, the open
ing day, Judge Wanamaker Of the
Ohio supreme court will deliver his
great lecture. "The People and the
Courts" Judge Wanamaker, who
has been contributing several articles
lately to the Saturday Evening Post,
is a national authority and has a
message with strong appeal.
Two Operate Concerts.
On the same day the International
operate company will give two con-
certs, afternoon and evening. This
is reported to be an exceptional mu-
steal organization. Burt McKinnie
was leading baritone with the Savage
Grand Opera company, while Tekla
Farm was formerly prima donna su-
prano with Nine. Schumann-H Heink
and Miss Heidenreich was formerly
with the National Grand Opera COM
pany.
Tuesday the Russian violinist, Ski
binsky, with his company, will ap-
pear in two concerts, and this prom
ises to be a notable musical event
here as it has everywhere on the
Chautauqua circuit. In the after
noon Charles Zueblin. the great civic
expert of Boston. will deliver his ad-
dress on "The New Civic Spirit" a
lecture which It is said no business
man or person interested in the well
fare of this city can afford to miss.
In the evening comes Lou Beau
champ, a humorist famous the world
over and heralded as one Of the
greatest treats of the Chautauqua.

According to an eminent French
scientist, flies show a marked aver
sion to things that are blue. This,
fact was first u discovered by a
French farmer, who kept number
Of cows, distributed in several sheds.
The interior of one Of these shels
had, purely by accident, been colored
blue. The other stables had white
interiors. The farmer soon noticed
that, while the cows in the, sheds
with white walls were driven 10 the
point Of frenzy by flies, the cattle
housed in the shed with the blue in
terror were not bothered. The little
pests lowered outside this shed; Only
q stry one, whose sense Of color was
perhaps not strongly developed,
every now and again would be
tempted to enter. The farmer told
of his observation, and soon other
farmers took't painting their sheds
blue, with gratifying results. Now
it is a general custom among the
cattle-owners in France to tint the
interiors of their sheds with a solu-
ton made by mixing ten. pounds Of
Stacked lime with twenty gallons of
water, and then adding one pound of
ultramarine. The sheds are tinted
with this solution twice during the
summer months, with the result that
the cattle are pretty generally free
from annoyance. 1t might be a
good plan for owners of horses and
cattle in this country to experiment
with the use of blue about their
stables and .!outbuildings. Nothing
should be neglected which might add
to the comfort Of dumb beasts dur
ing the hot summer months. The

finding of a good horticultural man.
Mr.. T. M. Mccall, a graduate of
Ames College, was selected for the

location Of trees and shrubs. Inter-

The threatened strike Of railway
employees is still hanging like a
Damocles' sword over the industries
Of the nation. President Wilson is
doing all he can to avert a strike
and to bring about settlement Of
the controversy between the rail-
roads and the employees. The in
crease in wages demanded by the
employees would amount to 100000
600 a year, huge sum that in the
final analysis will have to be paid
by the public. In as much as the
employees, who threaten to strike, are
among the best paid in the service,
the justice and reasonableness Of
their claims are not very apparent,
and public opinion in this instance
will be on the side of the railroads.
The suspension of railway service in
this country, even for day, would
be a national calamity and the
government would be justified in
taking severe measure to prevent
it-even were it necessary to seize
the railroads and operate them by
the assistance Of the military.
There is still hope Of an amicable
settlement and trains are still
running.

Congress by a vote of 283 to 81
has passed the great naval bill which
authorizes an increase in enlisted
men to TATTOO and the building Of
157 war vessels within the next
three years, with four battleships
and four battle cruisers among the
ships for 1917. It will cost lot of
money and the people must pay the
bill, but in the superhuman wisdom
of congress we must have the ships,
cost whatever it may, and regardless
Of the fact that in another decade
they may all be. consigned to the
scrap heap as obsolete. No nation
is figuring on attacking us, yet if
Great Britain does not refrain from
boycotting American. business firms
and interfering with our trade, that
country may be the first to feel the
sharp end Of the mighty naval guns
which we propose to build. It res
mains to be seen how kindly the
people take to the big naval pro-
gram that has been launched by con-
gress. II it is bad thing for the
country, then both parties in con-
gress are equally blameworthy, as
both are inbued with the same
mania.

That the settlers in the compare
lively new northwestern part of the
state pay a great deal of attention
to intellectual and moral advance
ment as we'll as to material develop
ment, is very evident when one sees
the many churches and school houses
that have been erected all over this
domain. In the many high schools,
consolidated and graded schools that
have been established is an educa-
tional force that will make for bet
ter citizenship as we'll as for better

River and at Strandquist, in this
county, have been advanced to the
graded list and will be entitled to
state aid, varying from $500 to
$500 per year, depending on the at
tendance. The school at Roseau has
been advanced to the state high

The labor agitators of the I. w.
w. stripe, by their unreasonable at
titude and the advocacy of force and
bloodshed to gain their contentious,
have alienated from the labor move
ment the sympathy Of many good
and right thinking men. These agi-
tators invade farming communities
and refuse to work for $3.50 or $500
per day, in year of partial crop
failure, and also attempt to intini-
date honest workingmen and prevent
them from hiring out to farmers.
While the I. w. w. may stand for
some things that will better the con-
ditions Of labor yet until their lead
ers will be more moderate in their
demands and Danish lawlessness and
disorder as means for reaching their
ends, the cause of labor is bound to
suffer.

a body of unscrupulous capitalits
