I'm my particular dugout there gath

one pessimist said:
"This dugout isn't worth a hang

Then an engineer Lieutenant got the
floor and in the darkness said;
"Non don't know what you're talk

thoroughly worthy of its envia-

It's an instrument Of first-clasa

and pleasing quality Of tone.
As for the Lindeman player

high reputation for reliability,

beautiful tOne-quality, coupled
with sympathetic and respOn-

The Knabe-Angelus has re-

music critics Of the times.
The player-piano has
done everything for the
household where there
was not, and never
could have been, any
other player.
1t can do still more,
for there are still other
households which con-

FEDERAL LAW GOVERNS,
Supreme Court Gives Formal Opinion
in Webster Case.

The federal constitution specifics
the qualifications of a member of
congress and provisions of the state
constitution do not alter them, the
state supreme court declared this
week in it's formal opinion upon the
suit brought to prevent the secretary
of state from putting J. Stanley Web
ster's name on the ballot as the Re-
publican nominee for congress from
the Spokane district.
The action was brought under that
provision of the state constitution
which says that judges of the superior
and supreme courts may not become
candidates for any other office until
their term expires. 1t was under this
provision that Judge w. w. Black of
Everett was ruled out as the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor in 1912.

NO MORE HIGHWAY WORK
UNTIL THE WAR IS OVER
State Board Announces Policy Re
garling All New Road
Projects.

The state highway board an
nounced this week it's decision not to
undertake any more highway prot
ects this year and probably to delay
all work until the end of the war.
Only about IS per cent Of the work
that would have been undertaken in
normal times has been done this
year, the boards report states, due
to the high costs of labor and mate
rials, freight rates and the shortage
of shipping, and there is balance of
about $4,000 in the highway fund
which the board will ask the legisla-
ture to re-appropriate.
Where the increase in costs last
year was only about 25 per cent
above normal times, this year the
costs have been 100 per cent more
than during the 1915-16 biennium.
The board has a large number of
projects it would like to undertake
next year. but only in cases whero
roads are a war necessity will any
work be done.

Democratic candidates in the race for
county offices at the November elec-

filed by the central committee to take
the places of others nominated who
later withdrew. as
The Democratic candidates are
John S. Lynch for prosecuting attor-
ney and l.. P. Ouellette for county
engineer, who were nominated at the
primaries; G. M. Manner, candidate
for commissioner in the second dis
trict, and F. P. McFadden. candidate
for constable, Olympia precinct.
All four of the candidates are we'll
known to Thurston county people and

paign during the two weeks remain
ing before election. The ban on
public meetings on account of the
Spanish influenza epidemic makes it
impossible to carry on the usual
campaign meetings.

COUNTY OVER TOP
ON FOURTH LOAN
INSCRIPTIONS EXPECTED TO GO
ABOVE $SOO,OOO BY SATUR-
DAY NIGHT.

Friday morning Thurston county,
largely through the liberal subscrip-
tions of the residents of the country
districts. had $4,000 more than it's
quota of $725,O0O on the Fourth Lib
erty Loan. with expectations by the
campaign committee that the pur-
chases Friday and Saturday would
boost the total we'll above $8OO,O 900
before the final close of the drive Sat-
urday evening.
subscriptions actually made by
Olympia and all the county districts
except Tenino, as reported to the local
banks. total $694,OOO with 1908 sub
scribers. Tcnino's figures had not
been fully reported, but the commit
tee in charge of that district, which
includes Bucoda and Mcintosh, noti-
fled the general committee that sub
scriptions would total at least $75;-
900, or $4,000 more than the dis
trlct'S allotment.
The c0unty's total Friday morning
was thus $769,0OO, or $4,000 more
than its quota Of $725,OO0, and mem
bers Of the committee stated that sew
eral large subscriptions that had been
promised we're still to come. Individ-
ual purchases at the banks also con-
tnued at fair rate and last-minute
rush is expected Saturday.
The committee reports that the
work of the adjustment committee, IN
scanning the list of bond buyers, get
ting increased subscriptions from
those they thought able to buy more,
and calling on those who had not
bought, has been producing results
the last several days. resulting in one
case in a $500 subscription and In
others in two $1,000 purchases.
Some disappointment has been felt
over the total reported by the indus
trial committee handling the cam
paign in the shipyards. 1t had been
expected that the 1920 men employed
there would purchase at least $780,
900 worth of bonds and perhaps a.
high as 100000, but the total FRI
day was only about $85, 900, which is
less than the purchases In the Third
drive.
Both local banks announced Friday
that, owing to the great amount of
detail in making out the final report
on Liberty Loan subscriptions. they
would close at noon Saturday. as
usual, instead of remaining open
through the afternoon and evening to
receive subscriptions.
The city of Olympia was the last
to reach its quota, while every dis
trict in the county outside the city has
over-subscribed it's allotment, Chair
man O'Leary reports.

sustained when 22-caliber repeat
ing rifle was accidentally discharged

clean the rifle, when the coat of the
elder of them caught the trigger, dis
charging it, The girls, one 16 and

hunting early that afternoon. When
they got home they thought they re-
moved all the cartridges from the
