BUCODA SEEKS HIGHWAY.
Will Appeal to State Commission to
Change Route.

Bucoda citizens are planning to
make another appeal to the State
Highway Commission for re-routing
of the Pacific highway through their
town. They assert that right-of-
way can be obtained along the west
side of the Northern Pacific railroad
tracks, practically all of which will
be donated, that will eliminate the
two grade crossings now existing.
1t is asserted that the Bucoda route
would benefit a greater population
than that served by the present
route by way of Grand Mound, and
that the Bucoda road is fonr miles
shorter. The present route was Sc
lected during the administration of
the late Governor Lister, the high
way commission then deciding against
the Bucoda road because of two dan
gerous grade crossings.

Olympia, the capital of Washing
ton Territory, is the first town in size
and population on Puget Sound. To-
Gated at the head of that great
finland sea-" about 100 miles from
the coast. 1t has. therefore, the prin-
cipal Offices of the stage line from
Portland and the line of steamers to
Victoria. The population is about
500, with probably $50 families.
The town was first settled in 1S46
and was incorporated as town in
1859. (The first issue of The Wash
ington Standard was published year
later.) 1t derives it's name from the
beautiful range of mountains which
skirt the coast, whose tops are COW
cred with perpetual snow.
The growth of the town was mate
rally retarded by the Indian wars of
1866 and it was not till since the
close of the late national war that
business on the Sound has revived in
such degree as to make it's progress
rapid and permanent.
The mail from Portland, Oregon,
arrives and departs three times a
week and the service on the Sound is
semi-weekly by the new steamer

her size on the coast.

habitants, is situated two miles south
of Olympia and is destined at no dis

Before Leaving National
Capital.

Governor Hart left behind him a
host of disappointed Republican lead
ers and suffragists when he left the
capital for New York Saturday after
noon.
Every sort of pressure was brought
to bear on him to call an extra ses-
sion to ratify federal suffrage and as
he is the only Republican governor in
suffrage state who is standing out
and refusing to call his state legisla-
ture the party leaders are disgruntled
Miss Anita Pollitzer, sent out by

governor by suddenly corralling him
in the lobby of the Willard hotel, She
demanded that he express himself and
he wrote the following statement:

lifted and there could be no objection
to calling the legislators together to

HIGH SCHOOL DANCES
ENDS CONTROVERSY BY ADOPT
ING RESOLUTION PERMITTING
SOCIAL AFFAIRS"

The Parent-Teacher circle of the
Olympia High school won its fight for
permission to conduct dances in the
high school gymnasium when the
local school board, at a meeting
Wednesday night, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
BE it resolved, by the board of

city superintendent of schools and
the principal of the high school, who
are authorized and empowered to for
mulate and put into effect the neces-
sary rules and regulations for their
government"
1t was explained that the boards
action was unanimous and that, while
this resolution was general. it was
understood between the board and
the school officers that dances would
be permitted, on four or five 0cca-
sions during the year. Superintend-
ent Beach, it was said, had been In
favor of the dances all along.
The controversy as to whether
dances should be permitted in the
high school gymnasium caused con-
siderable agitation throughout the
4 city for several weeks. At the public
hearing conducted by the school
board last Thursday evening among
those who spoke In fAv0fsOf allowing
supervised dancing in the gymnasium

MILLS ASK DIVORCE
FROM LOGGING CAMPS
COMPANIES PETITION FOR SEPA.
RATE CLASSIFICATION UNDER
INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE

Five of the largest lumber compa-
nies in the state petitioned the indus
trial insurance commission Monday
to have the manufacturing end Of the
lumber industry put in class aside
from the logging industry, with
which it is now classed by the COM
mission.
At present both the logging and
milling industries are in class 10, the
largest class of industries contrib
uting to the accident fund of the in
dustrial insurance commission. The
rate paid by the logging industries is
3.5 per cent of the payroll, and the
rate of sawmills 2 per cent. and the
rate for shingle mills 22 per cent.
In their petitions the lumber com
panies state that they have diligently
applied safety methods in their mills
and greatly reduced the number of
accidents. which necessarily decreased
the amount of pensions and awards
to be paid from the industrial insur-
ance fund They contend that the
logging industries have done little to
reduce the accident cost, and that
they feel that if separate classified
tion of the two industries was grant
ed the amount paid into the fund by
the two industries would be more
fairly propOrtiOned.
In 1919 there were 12S deaths in
the logging camps of Washington. OF
this number there were 81 set aside
for pensions. In the mills of the
state there were "A deaths, of which
33 required pensions

STATE POWDER PLAN
FALLS DOWN AGAIN
OFFERS NO SAVING TO, CON-
SUMER, BOARD OF CONTROL
TELLS GOVERNOR

Holding that the act of the last
:, Legislature providing for powder
krevolving fund" to be used in the
purchase of powder in large quanti-
ties for distribution to settlers was
impractical and of no benefit under
existing conditions, the state board
of control this week recommended to
Gov. Louis F. Hart that the state take
no action under the law at this time.
The board advises that nothing
further be attempted toward state
purchase of powder until manufac-
turers adopt a different policy as to
sale in large quantities.
The board finds that it cannot buy
years supply of 80 carloads Of
powder any cheaper than at the rate
of single carload and that counties
or individuals can buy powder on this
: basis as cheaply as the state can. By
buying and shipping to central point
for counties using less than car lots,
or in hundred pound lots, the local
freight rate on small shipments could
be saved, but this is not considered
sufficient to cover cost of storage and
other expense.
The powder purchase act was de-
signed as means of cooperation be-
tween state and counties in buying
powder at wholesale prices for land
clearing and road work. An appro-
priation of $4,000 was made to start
the revolving fund, and accumulation
n and use of 100000 in the latter
: '.authorized if the plan worked and re-
ceipts came in through county distri-
button to individual users.
With the idea Of determining the
amount of powder that would likely
be used, the board addressed letters
to the commissioners of all the coun-
ties in the state, and receiving but a
few answers to these, addressed like
communications to the county audi
tors, asking if they would use powder
in car lots. Twelve counties made
no reply whatever. 13 were not de-
sirous of handling car lots, seven
were Indifferent about the matter and
only seven desired the aid of the
board and signified their willingness
to distribute from the carloads.

CAR PLUNGES OVER BLUFF.
None Of Seven Occupants Injured in
Remarkable Accident.

A remarkable accident, in that
none was seriously injured, occurred
about $3.50 Saturday evening when a
Chevrolet car in which six men and
one woman were riding went off the
pavement at the end of South Main
street, over the bluff and overturned
on to its side in clump of bushes,
all that kept it from going to the bay
below.
The car, owned by Martin Vogel,
and driven by his son-in-law, w. H.
Clem, was practically ruined, but all
the injuries the occupants sustained
were scratches and bruises. The
party was en- route to dance at
Chambers Prairie and the stormy
night made it difficult to see the road
