LOCAL MEN WIN AWARD.
and Troy Given Judgment
Against Contractor FOuts.

Fred w. Stocking and P. M. Troy
won victory in the state supreme
court this week when that body sus-
tanned the decision of Superior Judge
Mitchell of the local court, granting
them a judgment of $5.197 against
Robert M. Fouts, the Fouts Con-
struction company and the Guardian
Casualty & Guaranty company.
The litigation grew out of the con-
struction Of the Columbia building,
adjoining the courthouse on Fourth
street, which Fouts contracted to
erect for $4,000. He later became
so involved, Messrs. Stocking and
Troy contended, that they had to pay
out considerable sums in excess of
the contract, to satisfy material liens
filed against the building.

PASSED ONCE, DRAFTED
MAN IS NOW REJECTED
Local Board, After Examination,
Finds Walter NJ. Drabe Phys.
ically Unfit.

An affection of the right leg which
has impaired It's usefulness resulted
in the formal discharge Wednesday
by the local draft board of Walter
Martin Drabe of Yelm, after a physi-
cal examination conducted by DR.. w.
l.. Bridgford, physician member of
the board. and Sheriff Jack Clifford.
the chairman.
The circumstances surrounding
Drabe's case are peculiar. He was
among the first called in this county
for physical examination, passed it
all right and was certified for serv-
ice. Later, when notified to go to
Camp Lewis with one of the county's
contingents on the first draft call, he
failed to appear. 1t was then learned
he was receiving treatment in a Ia
coma hospital
Recently he returned to his home
at Yelm and the local board, hearing
of this, notified him to appear for
another examination. His rejection
for physical disability followed.

Charles Schreiner. IA years old,
who was accidentally shot Sunday
morning while hunting with another
boy in the woods near Fir Tree, is
still in a precarious condition at st.
Peters hospital, where he was re-
moved for treatment Sunday after
noon, though stronger hopes are
now held for his recovery.
Just how the accident happened is
not known. The two lads went out
Sunday morning to bring in some
cows and took the gun along with
them. 1t was accidentally dis
charged, the bullet striking young
Schreiner in the left breast just
above his heart and passing nearly
through his body, lodging just be-
meath the skin above his right kid
ney. 1t was later extracted.
Schreiner,, whose home is in the
neighborhood of the county poor
farm, is the grandson of Mrs. Bailey,
cook at the Fir Tree Logging COM

RAILWAY SERVICE
HERE IS CURTA|LED
FLOODS TIE UP LINES OVER CAS-
CADES-GOVERNMENT ALSO
REDUCES TRAFFIC.

Government control of the rail-
roads and flood conditions through
out the state, which have made all
tho transcontinental lines through
the Cascades impossible because Of
weshed-out bridges, resulted in ma
terially curtailing Olympia's train
service this week.
Instead Of having three trains each
way daily, the Northern Pacific. now
has only two, one in the morning
and one in the evening, the after
noon trains each way having been
eliminated. This curtailment meant
the removal also of the afternoon
mail from down-Sound points and
the East and also. from Portland and
California points, which will not
reach the city now until the evening
trains.
The service on the Union Pacific
system has also been reduced, due
to the drastic curtailment of passen-
ger trains on the main line from Se-
attle to Portland, from nine trains
each way daily to only three. Under
the present arrangement, the North
ern Pacific, the Great Northern and
the Union Pacific each have but one
train day between Seattle and Port
landS
This change was made necessary
because all the transcontinental
freight and passenger traffic which
formerly went directly across the
mountains from Puget Sound, now is
routed via Portland and the Colum-
bia river railways to Spokane.

LET HIGH SCHOOL CONTRACT.
Construction of Olympia's New
Building Starts Next Week.

Contract for the construction Of
Olympia's new high school building
at an approximate cost of $105,000
was finally let by the school board
during the past week, following nu-
merous conferences with contractors
and local people, re-arrangement Of
the plans and the elimination of a
number of features from the build
ing.
The job was awarded to Hendrick-
son & Co. of Seattle and the con-
struction is to start next week. The
work will be rushed so that the
building can be gotten ready for oc-
cupancy early next fall, permitting
the state capitol commission to use
the present structure.
The patrons of the local district
voted $4,000 in bonds for the new
building, $4,000 was received from
the state for the present property,
and the remaining $4,000 will be
raised by increasing taxes.

FARM PRODUCTS ASSN. TO
: | HOLD ANNUAL MEETING
Reports on Business Done to Be
Given ut Session Jan. IA.

Notices are being sent to all the
members of the Thurston County
Dairy & Farm Products association
of the annual meeting to be held at
the Chamber of Commerce in this
city Monday, January IA, when COM
plete reports of the business to date
will be presented and the meeting
thrown open to discussion of Asso-
citation affairs.
County Agent Bergstrom is urging
the members to go out to Camp
Lewis and inspect the Associations s
new building and creamery, which
was put into operation this week,
before the annual meeting. He re-
ports that the Association is now
handling several hundred gallons of
milk daily and is also selling from
200 to 800 gallons of ice cream
daily. The latter has made a hit
because of it's fine quality, he says.
Mr.. Bergstrom says the Associa-
ton expects to exercise it's conces-
sion and take over the entire job of
supplying Camp Lewis with vege-
tables within a short time. He is
also sending questionable" to
farmers throughout the county, to
ascertain the number of eggs they
can furnish, SO that the Association
can begin handling this feature Of
its concession soon.

NATION WILL BUILD
MORE WOODEN SHIPS
CHAIRMAN HURLEY MAKES Of
- FICIAL STATEMENT OF
BOARDS PLANS.

Wooden ship construction is to be
continued on the Pacific coast for the
government despite the sentiment Of
some members of the United States
shipping board in favor of turning
all efforts towards steel construction.
This was made absolutely certain
this week when Chairman Edwin N.
Hurley of the United States shipping
board and manager of the emergency
fleet corporation sent this message
with reference to the Pacific coast
situation, to Senator McNary of Ore
gon:
Whatever anybody else says,
am in favor of wooden ships and
am manager"
When Charles S. Denman was
chairman of the shipping board and
Gen. George w. Goethals was man
ager of the emergency fleet corpora
ton there was a division of author
ity which resulted in a deadlock be-
tween Denman, favoring wood con-
struction, and Goethals, who favored
steel. Through change in the by
laws Hurley has been made manager
of the fleet corporation as we'll as
chairman Of the shipping board.
THE shipping board expects to
place contracts during 1918 with Pa
cific coast shipyards for the construc-
ton of 100000 deadweight tons of
wooden ships" Chairman Hurley
said, adding: I'VE may not be able
to place contracts for that great
amount of wooden tonnage, but we
want the 100000 tons If possible.
"The Pacific coast" went on Mr..
Hurley, has been the great white
hope of the wooden ship industry.
That is the one section that is turn
ing out the wooden ships, and it can
continue to do so. And / want to
say further that, irrespective Of any
Interpretation that may have been
placed upon recent testimony given
before the senate commerce commit
tee, the shipping board is going
ahead with the wood ship program
on the Pacific coast"
Mr.. Hurley said the board desired
to utilize existing yards to the limit
of their capacity, but is not disposed
to encourage the establishment Of
new yards.

COUNTY TO REPAIR
OLD TACOMA ROAD
FORMER ROUTE TO BE USED
WHILE NEW BRIDGE Is
BUILT AT NISQUALLY.

Construction of a rip-rap to pro-
tect the bank of the stream above the
bridge, and improvements to the old
road, were authorized by the county
commissioners at a special meeting
Tuesday to consider the situation
created by the washing out of the
Pacific highway bridge over the Mis-
Qually river last Sunday and the con-
sequent necessity of using the old
road and the lower bridge, known az
the Brown bridge, the former route
between Olympia and Tacoma.
The Brown bridge is reported to
be in good shape, but considerable
work needs to be done on the road
SO that it can carry the traffic be-
tween the two cities, while the river
itself is said to be staI ding to cut q
new course. To prevent this and
protect the bank rip-rap will be
built.
Gas and Power Lines Broken.
The washing out of the bridge
came as the result of the unusually
high water in the Nisqually river, oc-
casioned by the recent heavy rains
and the unusually warm winter
weather, which caused the snow to
melt in the mountains. When 1t went
out it carried with it the pipe line
which supplies Olympia with gas and
the company has had to use the old
local plant this week, and also tore
out one section of the new high ten
sion power line recently installed BY
the Olympia Light & Power company
to connect with the Stone-Webster
system.
Luckily, however, the commission
ers of Thurston and Pierce counties
and State Highway Commissioner
Allen had previously agreed upon
plans for the construction : new
concrete bridge at Nisqually and is-
sued the call for bids a couple Of
weeks ago. These will be opened
January IA and it is hoped thai the
contract can be let Immediately and
the work started as soon as possible.
Construction of this bridge will
take several months, however, and
during that period travellers on the
Pacific highway between Olympia
and Tacoma will have to use the old
road and bridge.
s.
Railroad Bridge Endangered.
At the time the highway bridge
was washed out. the big railroad
bridge at Nisqually was also en-
dangered and the trains were pulled
off the new Point Defiance line for
a while and routed over the old main
line. through Yelm. Piles were
driven to provide protection for the
piers and service was resumed in q
few hours.
The heavy rains also caused a big
slide on the new line between Plum
and Tenino, and a small slide at MIS-
cually hill. but the railroad crews
soon cleared these away.
