G. n. LUMBER co. WILL BE
HOSTS TOMORROW EVENING
At Reception and Logging Dinner in the
COmpany's New Logging Train

Because the company purposes to
begin logging operations in the near
future, and because it has provided
accommodations for its employees out
OF the ordinary, and wants the public
to have some appreciation Of just what
the company has provided in the way
of accommodations, such as dining
and sleeping quarters on wheels, along
with the accessories, such as are
usually met with in Pullman's and first
class hotels, Mr.. Geo. L. Gardner, the
general manager for the Great Northern
Lumber Co. has invited a number OF
Leavenworth people to inspectit its log
ging train equipment and eat with him

A COUNTY DOG KILLER
LOOK OUT FOR YOUR DOGS
Authorized to XIII yamuzzIed Dogs on
Sight-If You Want to Save Yours
Muzzle 'em

Deputy E. E. Shotwell has been
appointed official County Dog Killer.
He is authorized to kill unmuzzled
dogs on sight. Dog owners have had
enough notice and dogs found without
muzzle will be presumed to be strays
without owners, or dogs their owners
want killed. Mr.. Shotwell will patrol
the county for the next few weeks and
exterminate all unmuzzled dogs and
thus rid the county of lot of useless
dogs and at the same time render the
possibility Of any one being bit by a
rabid dog improbable. In eastern
Washington counties the rabies are
spreading. All the wolves and coyotes
have contracted the disease. In the
crazed condition, brought on by the
disease, these animals invade country
homes, and often towns, and inoculate
the dogs, many having been killed in
this wav. The only way to stamp out
the disease is to kill unmuzzled dogs
and the authorities are fully determined
to take no risks, wherefore all dogs,
without regard to who owns them,
good, bad and worthless ours. all alike
will be killed.

TWO MILLION SALMON TO
Be LIBERATED NEXT MONTH
From the LeayenwOrth State Fish Hatch
ery-PrOoess of Developing Young
Fish Very Interesting.

A visit to the State Fish Hatchery
south Of the Wenatchee river, and just
below the mill company's dam one day
this week revealed the fact that MI. S.
H. Prouty, the manager, and his
helper, Mr.. E. A. Jones, are very busy
men these days. In their thirty-three
Matching troughs they have almost two
million young salmon that they will
commence to liberate in the We
natchee river next month. Just Low
the young fish are little over an inch
long and some of them are beginning
to be very lively. They require the
constant attention Of some one in
watching the water supply, removing
the dead fish and the egg shells as fast
as they are shed by young fish. The
taking Of spawn, Matching the eggs and
rearing the young fish until they are
ready to be turned into the river is an
interesting study and requires some
knowledge and considerable careful
attention. II the water gets too cold
they freeze. If it gets too warm they
develop too rapidly, which is un-
desirable. If for any reason the water
circulation stops the young fish die.
They must have running, or aereated
water. We found Mr.. Prouty very
ready to give information and full Of
fish lore. For the next two months he
will spend much OF his time in the
mountains taking trout spawn for
summer Matching after the salmon are
liberated. Mr.. Jones will be in charge
during Mr.. Prouty's absence. Tuesday
afternoon he left for Twin lakes, by
way of Winton from where he will go
by private conveyance to the head OF
Lake Wenatchee and up the White
river valley to Twin lakes, where he
expects to take some millions of trout
spawn in the next few months. He
was joined by Mr.. H. Baldridge,
fomerly in charge OF the Leavenworth
hatchery but now in charge Of one of
the states largest hatcheries Of Salmon
near South Tacoma where he says he
has some forty million young salmon.
He accompanied Mr.. Prouty because
he is familiar with the country and the
placing Of traps to catch fish and take
the required spawn.
If you, Mr.. Reader, have an idle
hour you can spend it agreeably and
proftably at the Leavenworth hatchery.
You~.sss.s lssSS What the state is
doing in the way Of keeping the rivers,
lakes and inland waters OF Washington
stocked with edible fish.

that Il am safe. I am in the auditors
Office" 1t is over this statement that
olympians chuckle most appreciatively.
The last legislature did not pass as
many laws as usual, but according TO
those who follow its activities it enacted
more constructive legislation than any
Of its predecessors in recent years. Not
the least important OF the new laws is
the probate code, which was signed BY
the governor last week. This code
caused bitter fight over some Of its
provisions between the lawyers and the
bankers, particularly provision relating
to the handling Of estates by trust
companies. At the close of the de-
bate in the senate over this and other
features Of the bill, Senator Ed Brown,
a hard-headed farmer Of Whatcom
county, said he would vote for the
measure because he believed that
when the lawyers and the bankers fell
out the common people" were bound
to profit. The new code provides for
a greater simplifcation Of the process
Of settling estates and is designed to
both expedite and lessen the cost Of
settlement.
The first aid law passed at the recent
Legislative session and signed by the
governor will not be held up by re.
ferendum as threatened by labor lead
ers at the time Of its enactment.
Efforts were made to organize a re-
ferendum fight against the measure,
but this effort evidently failed to meet
with the support necessary to insure
chance OF success as the leaders who
were making the attempt announced
last week that they had decided to
abandon the fight. Experts on the
subject Of vorkmen's compensation
have given the first aid law unstinted
praise. They declare that it is the
best and most equitable law OF the
kind in this country. 1t was carefully
drawn after long study Of the subject
and repeated conferences with all
interests concerned. Public hearings
were held by the legislative committees
to which it was referred and all its
provisions were threshed over most
thoroughly. As finally enacted the law
does not present an issue that could be
made the basis for a successful re-
ferendum fight.

An amusing story, growing out Of
the recent raid on the governors Office
by a crazed logger, comes from
Olympia The story was not told at
the time because the affair was too
serious to be treated lightly when re-
ported, but since the statement made
by the chief OF police of Olympia in
defence OF his course in failing to
arrest the armed logger before the
governors Office was entered, wherein
the chief declared that since no
fatalities had resulted he felt he had
pursued the wisest course, a num-
Der Of the sidelights are begin re-
counted. Not the least entertaining Of
these is the fact that the governor
sought refuge from the threatened at
tack in the Office OF the state auditor,
which adjoins his own Office. Since
last fall the governor and auditor have
not been on speaking terms, and under
ordinary circumstances the governor is
most unyielding in holding to his
animosities. The exigencies OF the
occasion were such, however, that the
executive could not stand upon his
dignity and was forced to choose the
nearest place Of safety, which was the
big vault in the auditors Office where
he was unceremoniously escorted by
the employees Of that Office. As soon
as the threatened danger was passed
and he had been released from his safe
hiding place, the governor took up the

SEATTLE NEWS LETTER
Some Relief for taxpayers Some Cana

Seattle, Wash, Mar. 20, II.

OCdllICy w aohsf GtAoA' HSi
It is just the right time now for the
property owners Of the State OF Wash
ington to familiarize themselves with
provisions of the new law governing
delinquent taxes which was passed BY
the recent Legislature. This is taxpay-
ing time for those who have the money
to pay cash, and those who haven't the
cash will be glad to know that the rate
of interest on delinquent taxes has
been reduced from IS to II per cent,
and that, under the new law, three
years taxes must be delinquent and
unpaid before property can be sold for
taxes. Meanwhile the counties have
the option of holding the certificates
OF delinquency or selling them to the
spectators. II the county doesn't hap
pen to have the cash it will benefit by
receiving the interest. When certif-
Gates Of delinquency are held either by
the county or in private hands, the
owner is not required to make pay
ment in full to prevent sale. For ex-
ample, if three years, taxes are due
the owner can still hold title By pay
ment Of one years taxes. The new
law is generally designed to lessen
speculation in certificates Of de-
linquency and to make it easier to own
property in the state. 1t doesen't
reduce taxation, however; that is some
thing the taxpayers will have to do for
themselves, if they ever find time to
get together on it.

In the National Capital

Another attempt to secure advertising
at Government expense through the
columns of the Congressional Record
was recently made by a Democratic
Senator from the South. A certain lady
who specializes in producing perfect
specimens Of the female form, and
whose well rounded figure is very famil-
lar to every reader Of the advertising
columns Of the popular magazines,
delivered an address on the nations
health. The printed remarks caught
the eye Of the Senator before mentioned
who requested that they be reproduced
in the Record. It was mildly suggested
by a colleague that the Record ought
to be the record Of what is said actually
in the Senate rather than Of outside
matters" The result was that the
manuscript was referred to the Com
mittee on Printing and safely pigeon
holed.

The Minister Of Agriculture Of the
Canadian government has issued a
strong appeal to all the people OF the
Dominion to utilize this spring all the
soil at their disposal. even city lots and
backyards. for planting vegetables Of
every kind, small fruits-anything and
everything that will contribute to in
crease the supply Of fo,d. According
to the Canadian newspapers the appeal
is meeting with an almost unanimous
response; everybody has turned
gardener, and the farm products Of the
Dominion will be tremendously in
creased by the crops from the smaller
areas that might otherwise have been
neglected. The suggestion is one
worthy Of consideration on this side Of
the border. The present vegetable
shortage and high prices should be
enough to encourage everyone to some
sort of effort along agricultural lines.
There isn't city or town in the State
of Washington but could raise enough
within its limits for at least the supply
of its own people; and no better pro-
lection could be had against war prices
and transportation tie-ups.

Washington, now nearing completion.
In his opinion the Memorial will not
be complete unless it displays promi-

famous Gettysburg Address. In con-
formity with that idea Mr.. Gray
introduced a joint resolution in the
closing days Of the Congress appro-
pristing $3.50 for the purchase Of
bronze memorial tablet, bearing the
address, to be permanently placed in a
proper position in the structure. The
resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on the library Of which Mr..
Gray was a prominent member. but
owing to the press Of business at the
close OF the session it was impossible
to secure its adoption.

EVERY Man In a Capsule.

Nv
WASHINGTON, July THE fate
of 9,649,93S men on the national army
registration rolls will be held in q
huge glass bowl filed with little gela-
tine capsules.
The numbers on paper squares IN
each of these capsules will designate
the men drafted for Americas armies.
A final plan of the unique method
OF singing out the men for the nrst
levy is before Secretary Baker today.
| Unless shift is made in present
1 arrangements, this is the method OF
the draft lottery:
| Squares of paper. numbered serial
ly will be placed in .gelatine capsules.
This will be thrown into big trans
parent globe. On the day OF the
draft, capsules will be drawn at ran
dom from the globe. Each slip indi-
Gates for draft every man bearing
that number in each of the more than
four thousand counties and cities IN
the nation.
The slips are numbered from one
up as high as the number of men reg
istered in the largest precinct in the
country.
President Wilson's advisory board
has settled upon this method as the
IdlTGsI tldt Cdu 10 uCNlSSu' A&'SA'
action is open to the public scrutiny.
The drawing will probably be held
| in some large room in the war de-
partment, A committee of prominent
men will be appointed to act as OFF,
ciaI witnesses. testifying to the I'm
partially Of the lottery.
In the provost marshal generals
office the clerks were busy numbering
the half inch slips that will choose
the draft army.
AS soon as the last local precinct
has completed it's organization and
affixed the red ink serial numbers to
the registration cards, the draft lot
terry will take place in Washington.
Although General Crowder urged
every board to complete this labor
by today, officials assert that the
draft may be delayed to next week by
designations from local boards.
President Wilson himself has CIV
| en- consideration to various plans OF
the draft lottery. 1t has not yet
| been fully decided whether the first
| drawing should cover only enough
men for the first levy or the entire
9,649,93S registered. In the latter
case the numbers of every man reg
istered will be listed in the order
drawn and this list will stand for fu-
| ture levies, the second draft to begin
at the serial number in each district
where the first draft ended.
| Twenty men selected by Provost
Marshal General Crowder will do the
lactual drawing of the numbers from
the glass globe.
