LAST GAME
 OH TONIGHT

Notwithstanding the severity of the weather tonight at Elks al Ieys the fifth and final game in the contest between the ladies and the mems teams will be rolled. Up 10 date the men are but six l6J pins ahead of their fair competitors, and they will have to 10 some pret- ty work to maintain this lead, as the ladies are in fine shape and are determined to win the supper which IS the prize at stake.
 Considering the fact that the meu's team is made Up of some Of the very best bowlers that the club boasts, it is very gratifying to know that five women can be found who, with the limited amount of practice which they are permitted, can hold their own against such odds. As encouragement plays an important part in the game, it is hoped that there will be a good crowd present to witness the game and lend their support to their fla vorites from the side lines.

cutting its way to Caribou was be- gun.
 Yesterday was a most strenuous one with the crews which had been sent our from here to buck the snow. From 8:15 o'clock yester- day morning until after 2 o'clock last night the big rotary was hurled against the fIint-like drifts which had been packed into every cut along the line, and the entire day was spent between Glacier station and the steel arch bridge fighting every inch of the way.
 It is believed that a train will be able to get through tomorrow, and that there will be no difficulty in keeping the track clear of snow from tbis time on.
 This is the first time for several years ttat snow has interrupted traffic, unless it may have been some snow slides. The reason that the crews have been delayed in get ting through is the fact that the wind at the points where the drifts were has been almost a hurri- cane in violence, and the wind aid ed by the extreme cold has caused the snow to form in drifts almost as hard as ice.

". T. Normile, of The North Side Lumber Company, has started his sawmiu plant at Anchorage, says the Cook Inlet Pioneer. He plans on being able to saw from eight to ten thousand feet of lumber per day, ard the product will relieve tn present shortage in the town. The saw mill will prove quite an aid to the town, the payroll and expens- es attached to it's operation being about $25O per day. The com pleted product will likewise give employment to carpenters, so one may figure that, with the expenses of operating the plant, the sale of lumber and the employment given by reason of such sale, $500 or $500 per day will be put in circula- ton.

DYE FROM Ignite COAL.
Has Plan to Develop Big
Field Near TeninO.

William Macarthur of the Hercu-
els Sandstone company of Tenino,
who has been experimenting for sew
eral years with Ignite coal, states
that 1t is particularly rich in dye
stuffs and that he has found a simple
and cheap method of extracting the
crude base of the dyes from the coal
direct, not from coal tar.
The railroad recently built by the
stone company to its quarry up the
Skookumchuck river from Tenino
taps a rich field of Ignite coal, which
has never been developed owing to
lack Of capital. Mr.. Macarthur is
planning the formation of corpora
tion with sufficient capital to develop
the scheme and says that, if neces-
sary, he will endeavor to interest
Eastern capital.

it was decided to call the meeting in
this city for Saturday. Any number
of persons may become members.
Representatives of nine of the
subordinate Oranges of the county
attended the Pomona meeting, when
two candidates were initiated. Po-
mona Master l.. l.. Snow, as secre-
tary of the Fair committee, made a
preliminary report, showing a small
deficit, and the Pomona authorized
the committee to pay the Oranges
half of this sum, the remainder to
be paid by the Chamber of Com
merce.
An interesting debate on the ques-
ton, Resolved, that cooperation
among the Oranges is successful" !"
was won by the affirmative, support
ed by l.. l.. Snow and F. A. Warner.
The negative was upheld by D. j.
Bigelow and Travis Aver.
The Pomona will hold it's Novem-
ber meeting at the McLane Grange
hall. when the principal business Will

to vote for Charles e. Hughes.
this week resigned from both
county and state Republican
executive committees and an

Tom Fisk Of Shelton, whom the

the principal reasons why Mr.
Slater has quit the Republicans
and come out for Wilson. FISK
is a member of the Republican
state executive committee from
which Slater resigned.
"I shall refuse to serve on any
committee, political or otherwise
With Tom Fisk" Slater says.
"His appointment means a direct
insult to every Progressive in the
state and shows impudence on the
part of the men who did it. Mr.
Fisk and / are to far apart on
questions of fundamental honesty
to ever agree upon anything"

T. M. M'VEY
NOn-Partisan Candidate for
SHERIFF.

The sheriff's Office will be active
in the service of the people day and
night, the county Jail will be closely
supervised, no easy freedom will be
granted prisoners and everything to
be given them will be carefully in
spected, says T. M. Mcvey, the Nom
Partisan candidate, If he is elected
sheriff.
McVey says he will also break an
other tradition of the office, that 1t
is not a detective agency, and will
actively lead the search for all
wrongdoers. He is. incidentally, q
"dry" candidate, and proposes to fer
ret out and stop bootlegging through
out the county, II he is elected. Prin-
cipally, he proposes to be on the job
all the time, ready to attend to his
duties whenever he may be needed,
instead of putting it OF until to;
morrow"
Since January 4 last McVey has
been a member of the Olympia police
force and the experience he has
gained in that position will stand
him in good stead If he is elected
sheriff. He is married. is a taxpayer,
and has made his home in Thurston
county during 16 Of the 18 years in
which he has lived in the state.
McVey knows Thurston county
we'll, for he has worked in lumber
mills in nearly every part of 1t, as
mill foreman. For seven years he
worked at Union Mills, then he was
at Tenino two years, at Bordeaux an
other year and then at the Buchanan
mills in this city for two years. He
knows the county and the county
knows him.
And he knows, too, the kind Of a
job he is tackling, If he is elected
sheriff. That is why he proposes to
be on the job all the time, to give his
personal supervision to the manage
ment Of the county Jail, to be active
in the suppression of crime and to
lead in the search for those who may
violate the laws.
Mcvey doesn't propose to have any
maniacs running amuck" on his
hands, he isn't going to make things
easy for jail delivery. Fact is, he
is going to run the Office so those
kinds Of things won't happen. II at
tention to business can prevent them
and it usually can.
And, further than that, he is going
