The meeting was interesting
for another reason. Admiral
Capps, who has refused to talk
for publication, made his first
speech and emphasized two
points:
First-That he and Chairman
Hurley were not going to scrap
about the respective merits OF
wooden and steel ships, but were
going to try to build as many of
both as possible.
Second-That he and Hurley
both considered themselves as
mere units in the great scheme to
defeat the U-boats, and would
spend their time working and not
quarreling.

ENTHUSIASTIC
ABOUT SITE!

Mayor Fawcett and the city
commissioners were enthusiastic
over the Lake Cushman power
site on their return Tuesday from
an inspection trip.
The site on the Skokomish river
five miles below Lake Cushman
forms a huge natural reservoir,
and all the city would need to do
to obtain the huge power reserve
would be to build a narrow dam
and canals leading from the reser-
voir to the power plant.
1t is estimated by it's owners
that the capacity of the plant
would be 10000 horsepower. The
price of the site is 100000.
The engineer of the light de-
partment and a force of men are
at the site Tuesday making sound

But to do that was against all the rules of good ring judgment. So elected to do the logical thing-to at- tempt to trick Bob into lowering his guard, which involved no danger for me. Perhaps the better course for me to pursue. at that critical moment in the fight would have been to take the long chance--to do the illogical thing.
