The Estimates Made
From Work Accomplished
Looks As Though Cost
Will Be Thousands Less

According to the report of City En-
gineer L. D. Kelsey. for April, big saw.
ings are being made ON the Wishkah
water project. 1t is estimated that
the work when completed will cost
many thousands Of dollars less than
the lowest bid of contractors for the
work.
Only $92,217S2 has been spent on
the construction work which it was
estimated would cost s217.S00. Out
of the $174.023 estimated for the cost
of materials S145,124 has been spent.
The iron and s.eel used mas cost
slightly more that the estimate while
come other materials have cost con.
siderably less.
Engineer Kelsey bought all the can
ned goods it was thought would be
needed. He has sold some Of this at
a profit of $1S9.15 to the water project
fund.
1t has cost So 3,902.21 under the esti-
mate for clearing and grubbing the
right of way, removing trees has been
S5S8 under the estimate and the work
on the trenches has cost s2.473 under
the estimate. s3019 has been saved
in laying the 2S-inch pipe. And in

county leads in this acreage, with
1880 acres of these lands.
In his foreword Commissioner Saw
idge deals with the loggedOff land
problem in general way. Much dis
cussion has been had and many solu-
tions suggested of the problems of
clearing and settlement of the logged
islaton is enacted which will afford
satisfactory method of handling large
areas and extending state or federal
aid, the Settler must face the propo.
sition of clearing the small tract with
such assistance as the present law and
conditions will permit" Commissioner
Savidge says Under the most favor
able conditions to task OF clearing a
40-acre tract by the usual hand meth
ods is tedious, requiring good stock
OF courage and patience.
The expense of clearing. if the set
tiers time is to be estimated. varies
from $50 to 5000 per acre. but in the
majority of cases the clearing is done
as part Of the routine OF daily life and
the time consumed is not considered
an element of cost.
Twenty-Year Payment Plan
LAS an aid to the bona fide settler,
the legislature of 1915 passed an act
providing for the sale OF state lands
under the 2O.year payment plan, which
briefly stated is as follows. Purchaser
pays one-twentieth of the purchase
price on the day of sale, after which
no further principal payments are re-
quired until the 18th year, when an
other goth must be paid. During this
period interest is charged on the bal
ance of the principal at 4 per cent
and after the 11th year one-tenth
payment Of principal is to be made
annually until the full purchase price
is paid with interest during the sec
ond 1o-year period of per cent. In
addition to this the purchaser is re-
quired to make such Improvements
on the land during the first 10 years
as the land board shall prescribe.
State land may also be sold on the
regular 10-year payment plan where
the question Of improvements will not
enter into consideration. Under this
procedure the purchaser pays one
tenth of the purchase price on the day
of sale and secures a contract pro
viding for the payment of the re
mainder of the money in nine equal
annual nstallments with interest al
per cent Of the deferred payments.

Central Labor Council of
Seattle Decides Against
That Organization
WARNS !ORGANIZEDLABOR
That I.W. W. Methods Create
Wall of Prejudice Against
Organized Workers.

SEATTLE, May 17-Relations be
tween the Industrial Workers Of the
World and the Seattle Central Labor
Council were severed last night at a
meeting of the latter body in the
Labor temple when resolution was
adopted which prohibits a member of
a local union affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor from being
a member of the Industrial Workers
OF the World.
The resolution further states that
hereafter the Seattle Labor Council
will refuse credentials to representa-
tives of the Industrial Workers of the
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor for the purpose of So
Letting moral or financial assistance
for their propaganda.
No Dual Affliaton
Recognizing the American Fedora
tion of Labor as being big and broad
enough to embrace all those who toll, =
the council decided in the resolution
adopted. that all other organizations
representing crafts embraced by the
American Federation of Labor are dual
organizations, and recommended that
local unions having no clause in their
constitution barring members from
holding membership in dual organiza-
dual affiliation.
Warning to Labor
The resolution embodied the follow
ing warning to unorganized labor:
THAT this council call upon all those
yet unorganzed to beware of organiza.
tions that hold out high-sounding, but
empty promises. tearing down rather
than building up, but urge them to at
filiate with the American Federation
Of Labor, which is recognized the
world over as the organization repre-
senting the workers Of America"
J. G. Brown. president Of the Lum-
ber Workers Union, in moving the
adoption of the resolution. declared
that the |. W. w. had caused more
trouble for union labor than any other
organization in eXistance and that, in
his opinion, this was particularly op-
perfume time for the Seattle Central
~
A Wall Of Prejudice.
He explained that in his dealing with
| that body he had found that instead of
helping to better conditions for the
laboring classes the |. w. w, by their
radical methods. had succeeded in
erecting an insurmountable wall OF
prejudice between capital and labor SO
far as members of that organization
were concerned He declared that un-
less the council made its connection
with the |. w. w. clear unionized labor
was in danger of being misrepresented
before the public.
| James Duncan. secretary Of the
council said that there was no room
for two organizations Of labor in the

of the American Federation of Labor

and stood for better things for labor
