WILL TELL WORLD OF
COLORADO HIGHWAYS

Colorado is to be the best advertis-
ed state in the Union il the state
good roads association has its way.
This is indicated by the vim and
vigor with which the delegates to the
sixth annual convention in Denver
adopted resolution Thursday morn
ing favoring such publicity.
The resolution, as read to the as
sembly by Robert H. Higgins of Pueblo
provided that the state highway com
mission lay aside each year a sum of
money to insure the printing of at
tractive booklets. This literature.
which will contain logs, up-to-date
road maps, comprehensive descriptions
of Colorado's wonderful scenic treas
ures, hotels, summer resorts, natural
resources and so on is to be distri-
buted broadcast throughout the nation
and foreign countries
The resolution committee, however,
realized that their request would
stand little chance of being granted
by the highway commission and in
terposed a final clause wherein the
good roads association itself will foot
the bill for the printing and distribu-
ton of the booklets as publications
on the subject.
Other resolutions were passed call
ing on congress to pay more atten.
tion and money to the task of aiding
Colorado in road-ouilding. Especially
was congress urged to build roads
with federal money thru forest reserv-
es and national parks. State authori-
ties were petitioned to enact a law
governing speeding on state roads.
A federal law, whereby at least 10
per cent of the revenues received
from the leasing of the public domain
shall be used in the construction of
highways in the states in which the
fees are collected, was favored by
the delegates attending the afternoons
session.
A resolution WAS adopted unani-
mously expressing those sentiments.
Following its adoption a telegram was
sent to Colorado representatives in
Washington urging that they exert
their influence in congress to obtain
the passage of such a law.
1t was pointed out during the
course of the afternoon that in the
present year s2,3S5.OOO will be expend-
ed in the state for the building Of
good roads. 1t also was suggested
that the state vote $4,000, 900 in bonds
in addition to the half mill levy. to be
expended 100000 each year for ten
years.
Figures were cited showing that dur
ing last August and September 10.-
291 motor cars travelled over the Colo
ado ,SpringsrDenver highway. At
least 10000 foreign cars toured the
entire state last summer. Averaging
the expenditure of each person to be
only 81 a day, it is estimated that s9.-
100000 was spent in Colorado by the
auto tourists last season.

PRESIDENT OPENS DOORS
TO EASIER FARM LOANS
Signs Rural Credit Bill just Passed
by COngress-EXplains Its
Purposes.

President Wilson Monday signed
the rural credits bill passed recently
by congress. Just before signing the
measure, which creates a system of
IL land loan banks under the direc-
ton of federal board, the president
made short address.
II cannot 60 through the simple
ceremony Of signing this bill without
expressing the feeling that l have in
signing it," said the president. 1T is
a feeling not only of profound salts
faction, but of real gratitude that we
have completed this piece of legisla-
tion, which hope will be immensely
beneficial to the farmers of the coun-
try.
"The farmers, it seems to me, have
occupied hitherto a singular position
of disadvantage. They have not had
the same freedom to get credit on
their real estate that others have had
who were in manufacturing and COM
mercial enterprises and while they
have sustained our life they did not
in the same degree with some others
share in the benefits of that life.
Therefore, this bill along with the
very liberal provisions Of the federal
reserve act puts them upon an equal
ity with all others who have genuine
assets and makes the great credit of
the country available to them"
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
conferred with the president later on
the question of selection of members
of the new farm loan board. Among
those understood to be under consid-
Grafton is c. B. Kegley, master OF
the Washington State Grange.

PLAN NEW SCENIC ROAD.
Proposed Highway Would Follow
Shore from Tacoma to Olympia.

President Frank c. Ross of the
Pierce county Boulevard association
has proposed a new scenic highway
between Tacoma and Olympia over
the old Union Pacific right-of-way
along the Sound, opening up a large
territory not now easily accessible
and also furnishing a fine view Of
Puget Sound and the Olympic and
Cascade mountains.
Boulevard associations similar to
Pierce county's are to be organized
in Thurston and King counties and
the commissioners of the two coun-
ties and the state highway depart
ment are to be asked to cooperate in
the construction of the proposed
road. From Dupont the proposed
road will run south along the bluff
to an intersection with the old Union
Pacific survey; thence westerlyacross
the Nisqually river on to the dixie
built by Amos Brown of Seattle;
thence to the mouth of McAllister's
creek and from there along the aban-
doned Union Pacific right-of-way into
Olympia.

No Clues to Gillies.

Sheriff Fred w. McCorkle this
week mailed 1000 circulars carrying
descriptions and pictures of Jack
Gillies and Henry Roberts, to the au-
thorities of all parts of the United
States and Canada. No clues to the
escaped prisoners have been obtain
ed, the only new development in the
case this week being the fling of an
information direct in the superior
court against Mrs. Gillies, charging
her with assisting her husband and
Roberts to escape. The original case
against her, in justice court, was
then dismissed.

FAIR MUCH LARGER
COMMITTEE URGES EVERYONE
TO BEGIN PREPARATION OF
EXHIBITS NOW.

Plans for the second annual Thurs
ton County Fair September 11-16,
about a month earlier than last year,
are going forward steadily, and the
officers in charge are planning to
make this years exhibit far better
than the frs. one. and particularly
much larger. The success which
their preliminary arrangements are
reaching makes them confident they

county, in quantity as well as quality.
"In order to do what we want to
do, we must have the loyal support

the Fair. Let this policy apply to
all, whether you are in the dairy,
horse, swine, sheep, goat, poultry,

business at once to prepare
along some line for the Fair.
Notify the secretary at your ear
liest convenience how many stalls
you will want or how much space
will be needed for your exhibit, so
that ample room can be provided.
Remember, that the first to engage
stalls or space will be the first ones

gagged eight pens for hogs and two
horse stalls. II you wait until the

Quality and Quantity, Too.
1T was admitted by George r.
Walker, secretary Of the Southwest

Washington Fair, that our exhibits
last year equalled theirs in quality
but not in quantity. This year We

CHANGERS "R0AST"
CHAMBER BUREAU
ALSO BOOST FOR FAIR GIVE
VERSION OF CANNERY RE-
NCIAL, AND PLAN PICNIC.

The agricultural Bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce came in for
considerable "panning" at the Julv
meeting of the Thurston County Po-
mona Grange at the Chambers Prai-
rie hall Tuesday, principally because
of its opposition to the purchase by
the county of the Carlyon tract,
which has been voted Oh favorably by
the Pomona, by 10 of the 13 subordi-
nate Oranges OF the county, and by
the Grand Mound Farmers club.
The Pomona members, in their dis
cussion, let loose various inquiries as
to who constituted the Bureau and
why they were bucking the farmers
in the latter's efforts to build up the
county, the suggestion being ad-
vanced that in seeking the purchase
of the Carlyon tract the farmers are
asking for the expenditure of only q
small amount of money in compari-
son, in their opinion, with money
spent by the county in other ways.
Boost for the Fair.
The Pomona also discussed plans
for the second annual Thurston
County Fair, September II to 16,
asked each subordinate to plan a spe-
cial exhibit and to donate
funds toward it as they did last year,
and urged everybody to keep con-
stantly boosting the Fair before the
public.
The removal of the cannery from
Olympia to Seattle. on the reported
ground that it could not obtain sum-
cient fruit here for its needs, brought
forth considerable discussion among.
the Pomona members, the principal
opinion appearing to be that the can
merry people were seeking cheaper
produce and went to Seattle because
it is the dumping ground for the
state. 1t was also suggested that the
company was financed by Eastern
capital which preferred Seattle to-
Olympia.
In the discussion of the cannery
question various speakers asserted
that the reason the farmers did not
sell more freely to the cannery was
because they say it seemed to be i'm
possible to understand its wants,
which they claim were changed each
year. The first year. they say, the
cannery ordered certain crops an the
farmers planted them, but the next
year they had to pull them OFT to
plant something else The cannery
wanted. Furthermore. they claim
the cannery tended to lower prices
locally. everybody wanting to buy
No. / fruit at cannery prices
Talk Cooperative Creamery.
This discussion developed into con-
sideration of a proposal to establish
a cooperative creamery here. but
while this was received favorably, no
definite actio,' was taken.
The Pomona meeting was largely
attended and an excellent dinner was
served at noon. Four candidates,
James Housman, master of McLane
Grange. Mrs. Housman, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles johnson of the Spur
geon Creek Grange, were initiated.
The next meeting, in September, will
be held at Prosperity Grange Hall on
schneider's Prairie. the Thurston
county Grangcrs going to Point De-
iance August 18 to participate in the
big inter-county picnic Of i've county

CITY CALM OVER
ATTACK BY TIMES
SPASMODIC EFFORT FOR CAPI-
ITAL REMOVAL FALLS
FLAT.

Olympia, temporarily excited for a
few days by slanderous articles and
editorials in the Seattle Times cham
pioning a movement for the removal
of the capital to some other city, has
come to the conclusion that the at
tack was of spasmodic character
and, cheered by reports from all over
the state that the effort fell "f1at,"
has become convinced that the spasm
did not accomplish anything.
The New Seattle Chamber of Com
merce was asked to cooperate in
stopping the Seattle Times malicious
ISLANDERS against the city, by a letter
written by President P. M. Troy of
the Chamber of Commerce, in which,
after reviewing the articles and edi-
torials in that newspaper, President
p. M. Troy characterized the editorial
cartoon in last Sundays issue as Tex
ceedingly vicious, insulting and SLAM
derous Of all our people" and "total-
ly unwarranted and unjustified from
any standpoint" He also asserted
that "at the very beginning Of the
discovery of the depredations upon
the industrial insurance commission
funds. slanderous articles were fire.
quently published in this paper show
ing apparent desire to blacken the
fair name Of our community"
Continuing, he said:
"The Olympia Chamber of Com
merce strongly resents this unwar-
ranted and libelous attack upon our
people and is at a loss to account for
the attitude Of the paper coupling all
of the respectable element Of the
community with felons aad lawbreak-
ers unless there is truth in state
ments made to various individual
members Of this chamber to the ef-
feet tina. there is an organized effort
on foot originating in Seattle, to re-
move the capital"
Suggests Sinister Motive.
Referring, then, to the Gillies es-
cape, he said:
while this escape is a serious mat
ter, and If anyone in authority or
otherwise has been derelict. they
should be punished. yet 1t is
absolutely trivial to base an agitation
for a capital removal upon it. There
fore. we believe that we are justified
in assuming that there is more sin
lister motive behind this attack
1.-THE statements above referred to
are to the effect that number Of real
estate manipulators have procured
several thousand acres near Three
Tree Point and that they have been
industriously endeavoring to subsi-
die persons Of influence to procure
the location Of the state capital at
this point. While loathe to believe
such rumors, the apparent policy OF
the Times and the triviality upon
which it bases its policy leads to the
thought that there may be something
in this real estate project"
Recalling the previously friendly
relations between Olympia and Seat
tie. President Troy concludes:
Asks Investigation.
1--WE would suggest, therefore. tina
YOU investigate the situation and ap
prise us as to whether or not there II
anv truth in these rumors which arr
