Another Militia
Company to Be
Organized Here
Lieut.. Springer Applies to Adjutant
General for Permission to
Enroll Guardsmen

Aberdeen may furnish another
company for the End Regiment, N. G.
w., if the application made by Lieut..
E. V. Springer of Company G OF that
regiment is regarded faVorably by
Adj. Gen. Maurice o. Thompson. This,
with the Fourth Division, Naval Mill
tia, will make three militia organiza-
tions on Grays Harbor. In the opin-
ion of Capt. H. A. Comeau, of Com
pany G, there should be no difficulty
in recruiting another militia company
here since there is every probability
that the new national guard pay bill,
providing that guardsrnen shell draw
rs per cent of regular army pay, will
be passed.

CANNED SALMON
KING ALL OVER
COUNTRY TODAY
Brisk Trade In Delicacy Should Mark
Observance Of National Canned
Salmon Day.

Today is National Canned Salmon
day. In Aberdeen, as in all other
cities of the Pacific Northwest, there
is special reason for the days OBJ
servance. Householders should and
doubtless will buy can or two today
and serve the succulent fish in some
way on their tables, if they have not
tasted salmon in the past month. The
Washington customs district exported
$5,867,722 worth of salmon last year.
Packers of the Pacific coast in 1915
put up 7,506,046 cans of salmon.

case against Charles Johnson, arrest

conducting a gambling house here,
would be dropped. Johnson's $3.50 bail
money was returned to him, explains
Stewart, simply because he has prop

That Dealers Must Obey Pro-

Under decision of the United States
supreme court handed down this week
merchants of this state must quit CIV

Washington Now to
See Best Times in
Years, Says Wolff
Local Merchant Returns From Call
fornia With Optimistic and
CHEEKY Message

Washington, the hardest hit of all
the states in the late financial depres-
sion, is feeling the returning wave
of prosperity latest of all, but when
that wave reaches it's crest here the
state will enjoy a measure of good
times unknown for many years. Such,
says George j. Wolff, is the opinion
of shrewd business men whom he met
on his recent trip to California.
"a difficulty confronting merchants
now," says Mr.. Wolff, "is to obtain
goods in sufficient quantities. There
is no combine responsible for this
condition 1t actually is the fact that,
due to the war in Europe, it is becom-
ing increasingly difficult to obtain
woolen and other goods and the dyes
necessary in the business"
While in San Francisco Mr.. Wolff
attended the convention of the fourth
district of the B'nai Birth, and was
honored by being placed on the or
der's national social service commit
tee, Of which DR.. Rudolph l. Coffee of
Chicago is chairman. He also was
made director of the immigration COM
mittee, western branch Of the B'nai
Birth. The work of this latter body
is especially to look after the condi-
tion of immigrants; to see that they
are started on the right path and
given a chance to mix with the right
associates upon their arrival in this
country; and, conversely, to see that
those immigrants who do not show a
disposition to be law abiding citizens
are curbed by the laws of the country
of their adoption.

ACCURATE CROPS REPORT

Washington, Nov. 29.-Fhe method of estimating the size of the countrys farm crops has been so improved and systenatized that the actual produc- tien of important products is now made with close degree of accuracy by the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture. Nearly two million schedules are handled each year by that bureau in making up the govern ment monthly crop reports. About 160,000 names are constantly making personal investigations, one agent covering a state; and 1o5 clerks are employed in Washington handling the large number of reports from the voluntary crop reporters and to keep records of crop information of this and foreign countries.
 go carefully and systematically has the work been organized that the 1915 cotton crop estimate was only three-tenths of one per cent less than the amount actually ginned as re- orted by the Census Bureau after t-,a close of the season. The most ~'plete record in existence is kept in the Bureau of the Estimates and Statistics relating to the worlds crops and live stock.

PLAINER FARES TO MARK MENU
 OF DIET SQUAD

Chicago, Nov. 29-P1ainer fare will mark the menus of the diet squad of the Chicago health department during the remainder of the attempt to de- monstrate how ,te live we'll at req sonable prices, the second of which began today. Dr. John Dill Robert son, health commissioner, expressed the hope that in the final week the cost of feeding the 12 dieters might be cut to about 25 cents a day per person. The cost for the first week was 33 2-3 cents, exclusive of allow ances for fuel, light, heat, service and other overhead expense.
 Only two dozen eggs were used in the first week, these costing 40 and A cents dozen. Thirty-fve quarts of milk, at nine cents, were used, chiefly for cooking. Economies were made, it was pointed out by purchasing in large amounts, thus saving fractional weights and Split nicker' charges, al- though all goods were purchased in downtown retail stores.
 Dr. Robertson said he expects to cut down the daily ration and to sub stitute less fattening and less costly food, pointing out that in the first week the members of the squad made a total gain of 26 9-4 pounds.

NEW OFFICIALS PLAN TO BUILD
 UP A. I. & S.C0.
Bridgeport Brass Go. Direc
 tors Take Charge of Steel Plant Here.

Clarence D. s. Miller, of this city, will continue as the active head of the American Tube & Stamping Co.,, which recently has received an in- fusion of capital that will be utilized to make it one of the modern steel plants of America.
 At a meeting held in this city Mon day the interests of the Bridgeport Brass Co. and New York capital was given representation upon the board of directors as follows:
 0. D. s. Miller. formerly president of the A. T. & S. Co.,, retained in the same capacity; Guy F. Miller, secre- tary and treasurer of the Bridgeport Brass Co.,, treasurer; William R. Palmer. formerly general superinten dent of the American Tube & Stamp ing Co.,, vice president. The chair man of the board of directors is J. V. w. Reynders of New York. F. J. Kingsbury, president of the Bridge port Brass Co.,. living ill New Haven, William R. Webster, Hecretary and general sales manager of the Brass Co. and Charles G. Sanford are the local representatives on the board of directors, which also includes from New York the names of William L.. Abbott, F. Kingsbury Curtis and ". Everett Macy.
 Little can be learned today of the third interest involved in the control of the big steel plants here. It is known that with the former officers oof the American Tube & Stamping Co. the Bridgeport Brass Co.'s control is a large one. but all officers today refuse to divulge the connection of the New York directors with other big interests.
 It is announced in an official bulle- tin, issued by the new officers that the first consideration will be to strengthen and safeguard the property so that it may successfully meet the keen competition that is expected to develop among steel manufacturers following the European war.
 While many cil cumstances have combined to prevent the old company from producing cal nings in keeping with the excellent facilities provided here, it is now believed that the di- rectorate is of such strength as suc- cessfully to withstand any opposition from competitors in the purchasing and selling fields.
 With the modern open-hearth steel furnaces, rolling mills, etc., now on hand, and with enlarged shipping facilities the company promises to open one of the biggest industries heretofore seen in Bridgeport and the extension and development ~of the works here may be looked for at an early date.
 The bulletin states that particular attention will be given to the steel making departments with view to increasing production in all depart ments. With the bigger output the manufacturing costs necessarily will be lowered,
 It will be noted from the pefsonel of the board of directors that while the new interests are well represent ed among the executive officers, large stock interests still remain in Bridge port and it is likely that the changed control will greatly benefit Bridgeport in consequence.
 No changes are contemplated in the administrative or working forces and promise of opportunities and advance ment for able heads of departments as is usual in all growing concerns, is made.
