POTATO CLUB PLANS
MEETING SATURDAY
ALL FARMERS URGED TO At
TEND, WHETHER THEY JOIN
ORGANIZATION OR NOT.

Special request that every farmer
in Thurston county interested in the
growing of spuds attend the meeting
of the Potato club at the Chamber of
Commerce at o'clock Saturday
afternoon, whether they intend or
want to join the club or not, was
made this week by DR.. P. H. Carlyon.
organizer, and the executive COM
mittee. The meeting will be held
before that of the Dairy association.
which is scheduled to meet later the
same afternoon.
The first meeting of the club early
in December aroused considerable
interest and authorized a committee
to draft q constitution and bylaws.
This committee, composed of H. P.
Briggs of Chambers Prairie, John
Rogers of Pleasant Glade, and E. A.
Buck of Lacey. has held several meet
ings during the past few weeks, and
will submit a plan of organization at
Saturdays meeting. Permanent Or
ganization will then be effected.
The Clubs Plans.
The club proposes to organize the
potato growing business on basis
which will put Thurston county spuds
to the front. by the purchase OF bet
ter seed, the growing OF cleaner
crop, marketing on cooperative
basis, and through discussions at the
regular meetings on soils. pests, and
other phases of the business. To do
this the club proposes to establish a
sorting and shipping warehouse in
this city, to which all potatoes grown
by members will be brought. sorted
and graded for shipping, SO that a
uniform brand can be put on the
market. This, the clubs promoters
think, as buyers learn that Thurston
county spuds are good spuds and the
club product standard, will create
demand that will insure market and
at an increased price.
The present marketing situation as
to potatoes is such that too many
are grown for the local market and
not enough of one variety for ship
ment. What the club wants to do
is to organize the growing on a basis

PROPOSES A CAR FERRY
Local Man Would Transfer Freight
Cars Between Olympia and
Shelton.

Stating that he expects to spend
thousands of dollars in improve
ments," Arthur Weston requested
the city council Tuesday night to
assign to him the city's lease to the
harbor area tract it holds on the
waterfront, which it has been sub
leasing to him on the same terms it
pays the state. Weston proposes to
erect a locomotive crane to handle
sand and gravel and to organize a
transfer or car ferry company for
the towing of railroad cars from
Olympia to Shelton, bringing to this
city business that is now carried on
between Shelton and Tacoma.
Mayor Mottman, who opposed the
granting of Weston's request because
he said the city might want to build
a municipal dock on the site in the
next four or five years, referred the
proposal to the council committee on
public property, of which Council
man Draham is chairman. One i'm
portant feature of Weston's project
would be the construction of a dock
over which freight cars can be run
direct to barges.
If Weston is able to carry out his
plans the business will be handled in
conjunction with the Union Pacific's
new line just completed into the
city.

YELM FARMERS FIGHT
STONE.WEBSTER SUIT
ASSERT THAT 100000 AND FIVE
YEARS WORK WILL BE LOST
BY GRANTING INJUNCTION,

Claiming that now, after they have
been working for five years, have
spent more than 100000, are ready
to irrigate $500 acres and expect
to extend their system this year to
water 10000 acres more, the Wash
ington Water Power company, after
standing by and letting them spend
their money, are trying to block their
project, the farmers of the Yelm
district who have financed and built
the Yelm irrigation project, filed
answer in the local superior court
this week to the suit for injunction
brought by the Washington Water
Power company, subsidiary Of Stone
& Webster, generally known as the
water power trust" Attorney P.
M. Troy, of Troy & Sturdevant. repre-
sents the Yelm farmers.
The power company claims to own
land along the Nisqually river below
the intake of the Yelm ditch upon
which it proposed to erect an electric
plant and for which it claims prior
water rights, and seeks an injunction
to prevent the diversion of the water
of the Nisqually river into the irriga-
ton ditch. The Yelm farmers, in their
complaint, allege that this is but
paper project" that the Stone-Web-
ster concern has never done thing
toward developing it, that they OBJ
tanned their water right first, built
their ditch and laterals to water
$500 acres already under contract,
and that they plan to extend the ditch
this summer toward Olympia to serve
10000 acres more.
The big irrigation project, under
taken and financed by the Yelm
farmers themselves, is the first one
in this part of Western Washington,
and follows the idea of the big ditch
on Sequim prairie in Clallam county,
which changed barren prairie into
a most fruitful district In which there
has never been a crop failure. From
the time the local farmers started
work on their big ditch it has been
referred to generally as one of the
most important projects undertaken
to develop the agricultural resources
of this county.
II the Stone-Webster concern sue
ceeds in obtaining an injunction 1t
will mean that the Yelm farmers will
lose not only five years work but
more than 100000 they have spent
on the project. while the cooperative
effort to make the big Yelm prairie
and adjoining prairies more product
i've through irrigation will be blocked.

Will Not Appeal Bank Suit.

F.. P. Mckinney, receiver OF the
defunct Olympia Bank & Trust COM
pany, stated this week that, because
of the expense involved, he had de-
cided not to appeal from the decision
recently given by the federal district
court at Tacoma, rejecting certain
claims made by the receiver on assets
OF the failed United States National
bank at Centralia. Stockholders of
the local institution, who intervened
in the receivers suit, plan, however,
to file a motion for rehearing in the
district court.

DA|RYMEN TO MEET
AGAIN ON SATURDAY
DIR. III. T. GRAVES AND L. l.. SNOW
TO GIVE KS-COW-TEST.
ING TO BE DISCUSSED.

With talks by DR.. H. T. Graves, act
ing commissioner Of the state depart
ment Of agriculture, and by L. l..
Snow, master of the Thurston County
Pomona Grange, the latter on ''Silos," !"
and with a general discussion of cow
testing planned, members of the
Thurston County Dairy association
will hold their regular semi-monthly
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
Saturday afternoon, following the
meeting Of the Potato club. Every
farmer interested in dairying is
urged to attend the meeting, hear the
addresses and join in the discussion.
''The successful dairy farmer is
one who fully realizes that close at
tention to details is absolutely neces-
sary," President Campbell said this
week in discussing the associations
plans and urging dairy farmers to
join in its work. Getting the fine
points of the business down pat. One
of the most important details in con-
nection with dairying is to know the
individual COW. Each COW must tell
the story Of her usefulness by means
of tabulated records of the milk
scales. the Babcock tester. the value
of the feed consumed, and like
points.
1.-THE cost per year per cow" he
said, with reference to cow-testing,
els $3.50, and in order to enable the
tester to make fair wages at the
business of testing he must have
about 500 cows to work on. That
gives him $3.50 a year or $62.60 a
month.
"In order to test 500 COWS month
he must test about 20 cows day,
for there are only 26 working days in
a month. It can readily be seen
that a tester could not take in individ-
ual herds of only two or five cows
and handle the necessary number,
unless the owners of herds that num-
ber less than eight or 10 cows could
make such arrangements that the
tester could test two or three small
herds in one neighborhood the same
day, so that the number tested per
day would be brought up to the
amount required to insure him fair
salary"

ADMITS EVIDENCE To
PROVE CONSPIRACY
MITCHELL PERMITS TESTIMONY
IN GILLIES TRIAL COVERING
10 FALSE CLAIMS.

Holding that sufficient evidence
had been introduced by the state to
show at least partial guilty knowl-
edge" on Gillies' part, Superior Judge
John R. Mitchell of the local court,
who is hearing the trial of John F.
Gillies, deposed claim agent of the
industrial insurance commission, on
a charge of forgery alleged to have
been cmmitted in connection with the
looting of that fund of some $4,000,
ruled Friday morning, after nearly
half days argument between op-
posing counsel, that 16 other claims
alleged to be fraudulent and which
Gillies as claim agent is alleged to
have passed as genuine, could be
introduced by the state as evidence
of conspiracy to loot the state in
which Gillies is involved.
The charge of falsifying public
records, upon which Gillies was first
arrested, having been dismissed. he
is being tried now on charge of first
degree forgery, that he passed as
genuine claims he knew were fraudu-
lent. Although this charge is based
on the spurious claim of one "Carl
Jackson" supposed to have been in
jured in road work in King county,
there are 16 other claims which
Judge Mitchell ruled could be intro
duced to show the system by which
the fund was looted. The decision
was considered quite victory for the
prosecution, and, Immediately upon
its being given, the state developed
from the testimony of G. e. Ripe,
deputy auditor of King county. that
the persons. whose names appear on
the fraudulent claims as road SUPER
visors or foremen, were never en-
ployed by that county.
Jury Obtained EARLY.
Actual trial Of the case was begun
Tuesday morning. after just little
more than day had been occupied
in obtaining Jury, with Attorney
General w. v. Tanner, Assistant John
NJ. Wilson and Prosecuting Attorney
George F. Yantis appearing for the
state and Attorney Thomas M. Vance
for the defendant. Only about half
of the states witnesses have testified
so far, and it is expected that the
trial will not be closed until some
time next week. The jury which IL
hearing the case is composed Of
D. C. Harmon, George Weber,
Mrs. M. H. Ranney, Henry Richards.

When the funds from the sale are
made available the capitol commits
sion will rush the completion Of the
Temple of Justice this year, and will
also purchase the property occupied
by the high school building and the
block in front Of 1t on Main street.
The high school then, it is expected,
will be moved to the block on the
east side Of Main opposite the present
site, and Olympia voters will prob
ably be asked to authorize a bond
issue for the construction Of a new
building.
