MED|ATORS TO TAKE
UP LUMBER STRIKE
MARSH SAYS PRESIDENTS COM.
MISSION HOPES TO ADJUST
CONDITIONS.

President WILSON'S mediation COM
mission of which Ernest p. Marsh
president of the Washington State
Federation of Labor, is member,
will arrive in this state in few days
to take up the lumber problem, and,
according to Mr.. Marsh, is going to
settle it.
ION the surface there is no appar-
ent strike in the lumber industry"
said Mr.. Marsh Monday in Tacoma,
where he was attending meeting OF
the executive board of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. But underneath
the surface there is an unrest. Dis
satisfaction exists among the men,
many of whom are not putting forth
their full efforts. AS result the
production is not what it should be.
Confident Of Settlement.
I'VE are particularly anxious to
prevent strike in the lumber indus
try next spring. We are going at the
pLODlCA COuHuCAl lhuJ WC SdA W al
out. Although 1t looks like a hard
proposition, 1t is not harder than
other situations the commission has
gone up against before, and we never
leave anything until it is settled.
Down in Arizona they told us we
could not settle the copper strike
There the same situation existed to
all appearances as exists here in the
lumber industry. There was the L
w. w. element to contend with and
the employees and the employers un-
able to get together. AS result, the
operators were just about to seal the
mines and not try to get out pound
of copper. The mediation committee
set to work and reached an agree
ment which met with the approval OF
all and the mines are now working
"All our agreements are under
written by the government. In other
words. the government guarantees
that square deal will be given to
all.
Anxious to Get Out Spruce.
''Up here the government is just as
anxious to get lumber es 1t was to
get copper down there. Spruce is
particularly important. but to get out
the spruce, everything has to be
logged over We want tO get the en-
ployers and employees together on a
basis that will make for the increased
production that is needed"
The other members of the commit
tee now are in Salem, Ore, on their
way north. Mr.. Marsh met them in
Portland Tuesday and the entire
committee will begin it's sessions in
Seattle in a few days.

This action arises out of dispute over certain water rghts on Chititu, Rex and White creeks in the Nizina mining district, where all parties interested are and have been for some years operating mining claims in that district. The action was commenced last summer at Anchorage. where the Court was then in session. and a temporary re- .straining order was issued prohibit ing the defendants from interfering with the pipe line of the plaintiff. The action now comes up for final determination.
 Attorneys Donohoe & Dimond ap- pear for the plaintiff and Attorneys l.. V. Ray of Seward, and Maurice D. Leehey of Seattle. appear for the de- fendants.
 Opening statements of the case were made by T. J. Donohoe for the plaintiff and by M. D. Leehey, for the defense. and the examination of witnesses commenced. The plaintiff, Frank Herman, was first put on the stand, and his direct examination oc- cupied the remaining portion of the morning session until a recess was taken at 12 o'clock this afternoon.

EFFICIENT \
COMMISSION
HIGHWAY
NJ | z
Cost of Administrator Lowest in
the Country.

A striking tribute to the efficiency
and economy of the Wisconsin State
Highway department is found in
report just issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture. This re-
port discusses State Highway Mileage
and Expenditures for the Calendar
Year 1915. Some interesting facts are
set forth therein.
Analysing the engineering and al
ministrative costs of the eleven states
which spend 100000 or over under
the direction of state highway COM
missions it is found that this cost in
the state of Wisconsin is 1.94 per cent
being lower than all the other states
except Michigan, which is 1.80 pei
cent. Lndor the Michigan system,
however, a large part of the engineer
ing and administrative cost is borne by
the counties and hence it may be
stated that the Wisconsin highway
commission is administered more eco
nomically, that is, the cost of en-
gineering and administration, is less
than any state in. the union. New
York tops the list with an admins
trative cost of 9.6 per cent, Massachu-
sets is second, with ~ per cent,
Pennsylvania third with Ga per cent,
and then follow Minnesota 40 per cent,
Maryland per cent, Ohio 20 per cent,
and Michigan and Wisconsin as above
indicated. The average engineering
and administrative cost of all these
states is SO per cent.
Some other interesting features are
developed by the analysis During the
past twelve years the annual expendi
lures on rural roads and bridges in
the United States has increased from
about $18,000,000 to $282,000,000, an
increase of over 1900 per cent. Dur
ing the same period the annual state
aid for road and bridge construction
and maintenance has increased from
$2,550,000 to $53,492,000 or almost
1000 per cent. AS the analysis says
it means that efficient road construc-
tion is demanding larger unit. AS
showing the growth of state super
vision, in 1904 state aid and control
of highways and bridges prevailed in
only eleven states. In 1916 all but
four states Georgia, Indiana, South
Carolina, and Texas had some form of
a state highway department
Another striking feature is that in
1904 practically all of the state funds
were applied to road construction, not
to exceed 3 per cent being devoted
to maintenance. In 1915, about $6,OOO,-
900 or 80 per cent was applied to main
tenance.

BLACKMAIL FIGURES
IN MODELS Staying
Young Philadelphia Is Sought;
Lover Witnessed the Crime.

PHILADELPHIA The murder
of Maize Agnes Colbert has developed
into an amazing story of blackmail
and depravity If the story the police
have learned is SO, then this. unhappy
girl, known in her glittering circle as
Grace Roberts, was the most abject
of slaves.
The arrest of one of the wealthiest
young men in the central section of
Pennsylvania is expected. He is now
in this city under police surveillance.
If the astounding story that the po-
lice now have is so, he either killed
the splendid creature about whom ar
lists raved, or saw her killed while
he stood in the same room.
The story has it that she was a
blackmailer; that it was this wealthy
young man whom she was to have
blackmailed; that the man who was
her brutal master either saw her kill
ed or heard the fierce fight that re-
suited in her death. Then, according
to this story, he fed from her luxuri-
GUS apartment by way of the bath
room window-the window that VIM.
Benjamin, the negro janitor, found
open when he climbed into the place
on Saturday night and found her body.

GOOD ROADS THE ENEMY OF
THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE

There is a widespread campaign
throughout Wisconsin on the part of
the local business men against the
mai order house. The business which
once went to the local dealer is now
going to Chicago and other large Gen.
tiers. There is no more effective way
of meeting this competition than by
good roads. The mail order house
saves one trip for the farmer. It saves
several hours in driving into town
to get the purchase. He simply writes
a letter and Uncle Sam carries it for
him. He has but one trip to make
to receive his goods when they arrive.
Give the farmer good roads and he
will be far more likely to come into
town to see the local dealer before
making his purchase He will come in
often. Frequent trips mean frequent
calls, and this means business. Good
roads will move a farmer miles near
er to your store. There is no stronger
SLOGAN for the business men than
"bet - 80 roads and beat the mail
order house.

"The folly and wastefulness of the
methods that have in the years past
been employed in the Improvement of
our roads is so apparent and the need
and economy of systematic and perma-

evident that it should not, in my
opinion, be open to argument. Or
