SEARCH FOR lO.yEAR.OLD
BOY IN SEATTLE FAILS
Sheriff Unable to Find Vernon Bras.
sey, Who, Father Says, Is In
Mothers Custody.

Sheriff Jack Clifford. who went to
Seattle Wednesday with a writ of
habeas corpus to get Vernon Edward,
the 1O-year-old son of Alexander
Brassey, of this city, was unable to
locate either the child or his mother,
Perdita Reed, Brassey's divorced
wife, in whose custody he is supposed
to be.
Sheriff clifford reports he found the
place where Mrs. Reed had been liv-
ing, but was unable to locate her or
the boy. who. it was said, had been
living elsewhere. 1t is expected. how
ever, that Mrs. Reed will voluntarily
appear in the local court Friday. to
contest with her former husband the
custody Of their child.
Brassey obtained the habeas corpus
writ from Superior Judge Wright
Tuesday afternoon on representa-
tions that Mrs. Reed had surrepti-
tiously and illegally taken the boy
from the home Of his grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. william Steelman, Of
this city, November 13 last. He al
legged that she first took him out of
the state, but later returned to Sc
attic.
Mrs. Reed married again after her
divorce from Brassey. The child was
permitted to live with her for several
months, but the father states he OBJ
jected to the child's surroundings and
brought him back to the home Of his
grandparents.

COUNTY AND GOVERNMENT
SHARE PAVEMENT COST
Will Spend $4,000 Jointly in I'm.
proving Pacific Highway This
Summer.

Thurston county will receive $685.
600 from the federal government this
year and with the appropriation of a
like sum out of its own treasury, will
have $780, 900 available for the further
pavement of the Pacific highway east
Of the city.
This sum will enable the county
to hard-surface three and one-half
miles more of the highway during
the coming summer, which will ex-
tend the pavement practically all Of
the way to the point where the new
road around the Nisqually hill, con-
structed last year, turns off from the
old route, according to Commissioner
]. c. Sans.
Proposal that the county enter
into an agreement with the govern
ment and obtain this sum from It to
assist in improving the Pacific high
way was made to the commissioners
Monday by State Highway Commis-
sioner James Allen, who declared
that there is only one other graveled
road in the state as much travelled as
that between Olympia and Tacoma
and said the improvement was much
needed. 1t was further considered
by the commissioners Tuesday morn
ing, when the agreement was signed.
The pavement of this portion Of
the highway next summer will leave
only short stretch of graveled road
between Olympia and Tacoma. Last
summer Pierce county paved the
highway to within two miles of the
county line and expects to complete
this stretch early this spring.

COMMISSIONERS BOOST
SALARIES FIRST THING
New Board Gives Raises" to Several
Deputies, Increasing Annual
Expenses $4,000.

One of the first official acts of the
new board of county commissioners,
consisting of T. Ives Dodge, J. c.
Sans and S. Y. Bennett, was to grant
minor advances in salary to several
deputies in the different offices. The
total of the advances allowed is
$3.50 a month, while Prosecuting
Attorney Thos. l.. O'Leary was given
SIS more for Office rent.
On an understanding with Treas
urer Fred w. Stocking that he would
get along without any extra help ex-
cept for a few weeks in May and
June, the salary of Deputy Treasurer
w. C. Salter was boosted from
$112.5O to $125 month. This is
the second "raise" Salter has re-
ceived in the past year. This same
understanding also gave Deputy
Ernest Britt a raise from $75 to $50
month, but the commissioners say
that even with these advances, the
salary expenses of the treasurer's Of
flee will be less than the amount
allowed in the budget for TINS year.
Deputy Auditor r. A. Cruikshank
will hereafter receive 500 month
instead of sos, Deputy Will CASTOR
will get $50 instead of $S5 and Miss
10 Rowe, stenographer to Prosecuting
Attorney O'Leary, will be paid $50
will get $50 instead of $85; Miss
Olive Leslie SIS instead Of $40, and
Miss 10 Rowe, stenographer to Prose-
cutting Attorney O'Leary. will be paid
SEQ instead of $50. The prosecuting
attorney will also be allowed SIS q
month office rent, an item his prede-
cessor, Geo. F. Yantis, did not ask
for. though it has been customary
for the county to allow it for years.
! Miss Ruth Van Eaton. secretary to
County superintendent o. G. Goss,
also received raise. from SO to
SIS a month. She has been employed
in that ONCE for the past six years.
The total increase Of $3.50 q
month will add $3.50 a year to the
county's departmntal expenses.

CHANGE PLAN OF
BREEDERS CLUB
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS no
BE FORMED FIRST, THEN
COUNTY.

Ultimate formation Of county
wide Breeders Association after the
organization of community associa-
tions in the different sections of the
county, is the revised plan to be fol-
lowed by dairymen of the county,
following the suggestion made at the
meeting last Saturday of R. B. Cog
lon, state leader of county agent
work. and a committee representing
the dairymen of the county interest
ed in this method of improving their
herds is to confer with the new coun-
ty agent. c. H. Bergstrom. the latter
part of this week.
This committee, appointed last
Saturday by the temporary president,
L. r. Campbell, consists Of Walter
r. Taylor Of South Union, the tenn
porary secretary, ]. F. Hutson Of
Chambers Prairie. w. d. Cook Of
Mud Bay and Guy Taylor of the Gull
Harbor district. At this conference
1t is planned to draw up form Of
agreement that would be signed by
farmers in the different communities
who would join in the purchase of a
high grade sire.
Quite q number Of dairymen at
tended the meeting last Saturday,
and an interested spectator was
Frank M. Kenney of the Olympia Ma
tional bank. Following it, Mr.. Ken
ney announced that II the plan of
community associations was adopted,
he would be glad to finance the pur-
chase of the necessary sires through
loan at a special rate of interest, If
several of the responsible farmers
would endorse the notes. The loan,
he said, could run for one year or as
long as two years, II necessary. In
asmuch as his offer is more reason
able than the plan of the Pierce
County Rural Development associa-
ton, local farmers say the project. II
carried through, will be financed
locally.
After several Of the community as.
sociations have been organized, and
the new county agent is expected to
assist materially in this work, the
plan is then to form the countrywide
organization. The fact that several
communities are now we'll supplied
by high grade sires owned by farm
ers was one reason advanced for pro
noting the organization on the com
munity plan, while it was also fel

SESSION ORGANIZES
WITHOUT BIG ROW
FIRST WEEK UN.
USUALLY QUIET-FEW BILLS
ARE INTRODUCED.

Bills calling for absolute prohibi-
ton. for compulsory military train
ing, and for constitutional conven-
tion in 1921, are the important meas
ures which made their appearance
this week, the opening sessions Of
Washington's fifteenth legislature.
Representative Halsey introduced the
"bone dry" bill and Representative
Zednick the one calling for universal
military training in this state.
The organisation Of both houses'is
now complete, the committees were
announced Thursday, and the decks
have been cleared for action. All
this has been accomplished without
the usual turmoil, though. Of course,
there have been petty contests az to
committee appointments, patronage
and the like, but nothing important
enough to disrupt the membership
as has usually happened during the
opening days of former sessions. In
cidentally, fewer bills have been in
troduced this week than usual.
Houses Organize Monday.
The organization of the house, with
Guy e. Kelly. of Pierce county, as
speaker, was completed Monday with
out a preliminary caucus of the Re
publicans, and the Democratic men,
bers Joined in making 1t unanimous.
There was little rumpus in the SEN
ate organization at the start. break
ing out in an open caucus Sunday at
tended by Democrats and newspaper
men as we'll as Republicans, but the
situation was smoothed over when it
came to the formal organization
Monday. Ralph d. Nichols, of King.
was named president pro tem.. win
ming over Senator p. H. Carlyon, Of
this county.
The governors message, delivered
Wednesday, was very we'll received,
speaking generally, which is indica-
tive of q remarkable change Of atti-
tude over previous sessions when
anything that emanated from the
Democratic administration was not
only sneered at, but promptly killed.
This new attitude, and other mani
festations of a friendly spirit, coupled
with the fact that the rules of both
houses have been materially modified
and the membership of the senate
rules committee enlarged, gives prom
Use that the current legislature will
be the most democratic Of any ses-
sion since Washington attained state
hood.
Aside from the organization, the
opening day was signalized by the
almost unanimous adoption of a me-
mortal asking congress to adopt ma
tion-wide dry amendment and submit
it to the states for ratification.
Other Sessions PerfunctOry.
The bills which Governor Lister We
toed after the close of the last ses-
sion were returned and placed on hle'
no attempt being made to put them
over.
Tuesdays sessions were largely
perfunctory, the afternoon being
given over to the canvass OF the state

econd- Inauguration Wednesday.

S0cOn0- INAUGURATION wednesday.
Ernest Lister was inaugurated
governor of the state of Washington
for the second time last Wednesday
before larger crowds in the capitol
building than witnessed his first in
auguration in 1912, and after the
ceremony had been completed, he
presented his message to the law
makers.
The Inauguration took place
promptly at 2 o'clock before a joint
session of the house and senate, pre-
sided over by Lieutenant Governor
Hart. The governor was escorted to
the rostrum by delegation Of Demo-
cratic members of the legislature and
the oath of Office was administered
by Chief Justice o. G. Ellis, of the
state supreme court. Rev. N. M.
Temple said the prayer. On the
platform with the governor, besides
these persons, was Speaker Guy e.
Kelly, Of the house. A large delega-
ton of Seattle Democrats had seats
Of honor.
The governor first expressed deep
gratitude and appreciation" for his
reelection and then plunged imme-
diately into discussion Of the state
finances, declaring as q result of his
policy during the past four years.
"wc are in a better financial condi-
tion than ever before in the states
history" and predicting a balance OF
$1,000.000 in the general fund April
/. He therefore recommended the
payment Of normal school bonds
amounting to $20S,114.36 and Of
$4,000 Wenatchee bridge purchase
bonds, both sums including interest,
which would place the state in the
position Of not having single dollar
Of outstanding bonded indebtedness. u
He then discussed the capitol sittu-
atit n, - reported at length elsewhere
in this issue, following which he re-
newed the recommendation made to
the 1915 legislature and urged this
legislature to start the machinery
in motion that will make possible the
submission of a new constitution to
the people Of the state at the earliest
possible date"
Favors NOn-Partisan Elections.
Next came his recommendation
for preferential presidential pri'
mary end for non-partisan election
bill covering all state, county and
city officials, the latter because
"recent elections clearly indicate
that the spirit of partisanship, ir
connection with the selection of pub
lie oficials. is rapidly disappearing.
His recommendation this time is {
development Of that to the last ses
sion, when he urged non-partisar
