SOME TROUBLE
Bv J;mmie Rooers Anthony

By Jimmie Rogers Anthony I haint much education Except at hoeing corn, Feeding pigs or milking cows. Beginning early in the morn. But I figured up some poetry, The best that I could do. The editor through politeness, though, Thought he'd put it through. With thanks, my heart took courage And I figured up some more, Though it was something different From what I had before. Then the patient, smiling editor Said with a puzzled frown. Some unhappy lunatic Has rambled into town. Now, my heart is nearly broken; You could almost hear it crack: Of the last he did not think enough To even send it back.

There had been numerous personal difficult ties between employees. and after a series of fisticuffs, knife fests and briclbat struggles, General Order No. 69 as follows was posted: "Alterca- tiOns between employees are forbid den from this date. In case of dis pute,l the matter must be referred immediately to the superintendent of division for adjustment"
 Several days later the superintend- ent of division received this message from Miami: Struck in face by Watchman Mooney on Avenue D What must I do?' And the superin- tendent of division wired back: "Keer off Avenue D."-From Golfers Weekly.

Council Comes to Deci.
sion at Last on Water
Project

The Wishkah water project is to
go through, most likely with dash
now; and certainly by the labor of
citizens of Aberdeen. The latter
clause was insured by Wednesday
nights action of the city council in
adopting the resolution introduced by
Councilman John W. Fraser, provid-
ing that all bids for construction of
the water system be rejected and
that the city do t. ork, itself, by
day labor
The couple OF hours following Fra
ser's Introductory argument made
history in the council chambers. 1t
needed not E. E. Wieland's declara-
ton that the water project was the
biggest thing ever attempted by an
Aberdeen city council nor the en-
work by other speakers. The audi
ence knew all about the magnitude
of the job. Parenthetically, it might
be observed, every councilman and
the mayor, Wednesday night, talked
straight at the audience. 1t was not
their colleagues whom they were en-
deavoring to convince. 1t was the
spectators whom they desired to as
sure of their rectitude of purpose,
seemingly. There were no eXcep-

the guides will be sold by the post
office department for IS cents for
the cloth and 65 cents for the paper
bound, including supplements, or at
40 and 80 cents without the supple
ments.

be seen at the Aberdeen postoffice,
contains postal information OF inter-
est to the public, arranged separate
lv for convenient and ready reference,
rulings of the departments. lists of
postoffices arranged alphabetically by
states and by counties, list of postof-
fees discontinued during the previous
three years, etc.
Guides will not be ready for distri-
button until the latter part of July,
but subscriptions should be forward
I'd as soon as possible to enable the
department to place orders for the
publication. Order blanks can be had
on application to the postmaster.

LONCSHOREMEN
AND SHIPPERS
STILL OPPOSED
With Opening Of Third Week ot
Strike There Seems Little
Chance for End

With the big longshoremen's strike
advanced two days in it's third week,
there seems still but slight chance
of its settlement in the near future.
Both sides to the fight apparently
have made up their minds to long
struggle. Secretary Jack Axon of the
Longshoremen's union and Hugh De-
lanty manager of the Grays Harbor
Stevedore company, declare for strik-
ers and employers, respectively, so
far as the Harbor situation is con-
cerned, that they have no more pro-
posals to make other than those made
at the outset. T.
