NOVEL QUESTIONS
ARISE AT CUSHMAN
POWER SITE TRIAL
Judge Wilson Completes First Series
Of Cases in Mason County
Court

After more than two weeks spent
in the trial of the frs: series of cases
between the City Of Tacoma and the
property owners of Mason county
whose property is affected by the
construction OF the proposed Lake
Cushman power plant, Judge Wilson
of the superior court of Mason coun-
ty, is now occupied with the trial OF
cases involving timber lands abut-
ting on the Skokomish river.
1t is the contention of the owners
of the lands affected that the projec.
will take away more than one-half
the waters of the river, and leave In
sufficient water to float the logs from
the abutting lands to market, there
by damaging the owners to the ex-
tent of the difference In cost between
water and other transportation.
Questions Are Novel.
The first series tried involved the
following questions, both rather
novel in this state: First. the right
to recover damages suffered in de-
terioration of property values by rea-
son Of apprehension Of danger to
lands in the valley below the dam
and storage basin; second, the right
to recover damages for loss Of SUBJ
irrigation to agricultural lands by
reason of the taking Of a large part
of the waters from the river, and
dwelling the same away fom the
lands affected. The court ruled In
favor of the allowance of damages
on both elements. Verdicts tatolling
about $4,000 were returned.
The project, in general. calls for
the erection of a dam at what 10
called the Rangers Cabin, on the
Skokomish river, to be about 21O
feet in height, thereby flooding an
area about eight miles in length. in
Guiding the area now covered by
Lake Cushman; the diversion Of the
waters, by flume, to Hoods Canal,
at point near Potlatch, and the
erection at that point Of a power
plant; and the construction OF a
transmission line to carry the cur
rent to Tacoma. The total expendi-
ture involved will be about seven
million dollars. is proposed to

DIRECTOR OF SAFETY
SHOULD ISSUE LICENSES
FOR STEAMBOAT OFFICERS
Declares Attorney General in Reply
to Query FrOm~LiCense
Director

Fred j. Dibble, director of the de-
partment of licenses, recently asked
the attorney general whether the
director of licenses is required to
issue the licenses and certificates re-
CURED by law which states that every
person employed as master, pilot or
engineer on board of a steam vessel
or vessel propelled by machinery car
rying passengers for hire or towing
for hire, shall be examined by the
commissioner of labor, who, If salts
fed as to his qualifications, shall
grant him license for a term of one
year on a boat, or whether the author
ity conferred upon the commissioner
of labor was not vested by the enact
ment Of chapter 7, Laws Of 1921, in
the director Of labor and industries
This section Of the 1921 session
laws provides, in part:
1.-THE director of labor and indus
tries shall have the power and it shall
be his duty, through and by means OF
the division of safety, to exercise all
powers and perform all the duties In
relation to the inspection of steam
vessels and other vessels operated by
machinery required to be performed
by the commissioner of labor"
The attorney, in his opinion, states.
1T will be observed by chapter z,
of the Session Laws of 1921. that 1t
becomes the duty of the director Of
labor and industries, through and by
means of the division of safety, to
carry out the provisions Of the law
relating to the regulation of steam
vessels and other vessels operated by
machinery, formerly vested in and
required to be performed by the COM
missioner Of labor.
"You are therefore advised that
the certificates and licenses required
to be issued should be issued by the
supervisor of safety of the depart
ment Of labor and industries"

ABSENCE OF SEVERE WEATHER PREVENTS
 SLAUGHTER OF ELK

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 15 (by Asso- ciated Press) Elk in Yellowstone na- tfonal park fared better during the hunting season which closed Christ mas day than they have in the last ten years, according to a statement given out by the office of the Mon tana state game warden. Because of lack of snow and severe weather in the park the elk stayed in the pro- tected area and did not come to the lower levels in Gallatin and Park counties. Usually the elk come out of the park to feed and are an easy target for hunters. Last year in Gal latin and Park counties, it is estimat. ed, considerably under 4,O00 elk were killed. Deer also, it was stated, stayed within the park boundaries and not many of these animals were killed.

Convicts in Peni-
tentiaries Higher
Average Intelligence

Cleveland, o., June 16--(By Asso-
ciated Prcss)-Convicts in peniten-
tiaries show a higher average of in
telligence than the general popula-
ton, DR.. Herman Adler, of the Cleve-
land Foundations justice survey, told
members of the Cleveland Academy
of Medicine at a recent meeting.
Reporters. men returned to the
penitentiary time after time, show a
higher average intelligence than
those who learn their lessons the first
time, DR.. Adler said.
Criminals who are caught and con-
victed are not necessarily those least
intelligent, but those with an antag-
onizing personality, DR.. Adler ex-
planned. An engaging personality is
the most frequent cause of miscar-
riages of justice, he added.
Ten million people in the United
States are classed as feeble minded,
that is, they would be confined if
brought into court or a mental clinic,
he said.
These conclusions We're derived
from a tabulation of mental tests of
100000 men in the draft army, and
1000 convicts in the Illinois state
penitentiary. The tests in turn were
confirmed by examination of selected
groups picked according to military
qualifications before the tests were
made

the difference in prices in 1920 and
1921 was illustrated. In one window
was bag of sugar, 100 pounds, and
one barrel of Royal Lilly -four in
bags. That was all that SAB would
buy one year ago. In the other
window was displayed more than rs
articles which can be bought in the
same store today for the same
money, $43, and the articles were:
One hundreds pounds sugar, one
barrel Royal Lilly flour, one pound
tea, one pound coffee, one half gall
Ion molasses, one package buckwheat
flour, six pounds corn meal, one
package graham flour, five pounds
rice, one-half pound cocoa, one jar

OF course the greatest drop has
been in sugar, -four, lard, grain,
cheese, beans. etc, but there has
been more or less of drop in every
commodity which is most encourag-
ing to the consumer who has found
the high cost of living rather ap-
palling during the past few years
when the little old dollar hardly lived
up to it's name. The total cost of the
goods displayed in this window a
year ago to the consumer was $796
today it is $4,000, surely start in the
right direction.

graduation was held in Torsey

morning. The program opened with
singing by the school chorus fol-
lowed by the invocation pronounced

John Wallace Ames read a selec-
! ton by Anzia Yezierska "How I
Found America which struck the
keynote of the commencement pro-
! gram, the problems of Americaniza-
ton. In this reading was depicted
the problems of an immigrant to
this country, how they were met,
and how at last, the ideal America
| was found.
Carl Wilder Smith of Cutler in an
| essay entitled "Americanization,'
spoke of our duty to understand the
| immigrant and to make the immi-
grant understand us; of how we
must protect the foreigner who
comes to our shores, since the
American nation is destined to be the
the world.
Amy Eldora Bean Of Mt. Vernon
gave sketch of the life of the late
Carleton Parker as representing the
ideal American. Through his death
America met with great loss not
only because of his valuable work in
analyzing labor problems. but be-
cause of his high ideals of what a
true American should be.
After music by the school orches-
ira the audience was addressed by
the Chestnut street Methodist
church of Portland. DR.. Goddards
subject was 1.-The Well Balanced
Life" He stated that the greatest
need of today in all departments of
life is mental and moral and social
Balance wheel" Continuing, he
said that some people are of the
opinion that the things that are old
are outgrown and supplanted by the
things that are new; on the other
hand there are those who are of the
opinion that all new things are radi-
cal, and only the old is true. The
one who has a proper balance wheel
will see that both parties are wrong.
To discard all the past means social
disintegration and chaos, while 1T is
true that we must not go back and
build on the old foundation of sell
fishness we are not to discard all
that is old. and the principles of life
our forefathers cherished. There
fore the course to be pursued by the
we'll balanced life would hold to
principles upon which our forefath-
ers built, discarding many of the
false growths that have sprung up
in and around them.
In order to have a balance wheel
in these days of conflict one must
study the great men of the past.
First of all an understanding OF the
Bible is necessary. for no one who is
ignorant of it can understand human
nature William Shakespeare who
was said to better understand human
nature than any man who had lived
up to his day gives evidence of a
thorough acquaintance with the
