Damaged By
Puget Storm

Olympia, WASH, Dec. 21.-A
freezing north wind, coupled with
extremely low tides is causing Sc
we're damage to the Sound oyster
beds near Olympia. according to
reports reaching here yesterday

Owners of large beds in Oyster
bay, Shelton bay and North bay
declare they have suffered heavy
losses and reports would indicate
that the damage may total several
thousand of dollars. D. r. Helser,
proprietor of local oyster con-
cern, said today that thousands
Of oysters have been killed by the
freezing temperature.
The beds located on the Sound
have been rich and healthy and
have yielded large quantities of
the Olympia oysters. Continued
cold may destroy some Of the rich
est beds of the locality, it is said.

Davey Asks Solons
Pass On Selection
OF Contested Site

Treasurer Hoff, the third member
of the board Of control, view the
resolution as a move to secure leg
islative approval of the position
Of Governor Olcott and Secretary
Kozer.
Mr.. Hoff's position has been
that of unalterable opposition to
the proposed site, on the grounds
that it does not include suitable
agricultural land necessary to the
efficient operation Of such plant
as the boys training school, that
the character and lay of the land
is such as to make the construc-
tion of the new school plant there
unnecessarily expensive, and that
the close proximity to the state
tuberculosis hospital, asylum farm
and penitentiary make the site one
of poor environment for the boys
to be housed in the school.
In his resolution Davey justities
the selection of the site by the
provisions Of the legislative act
appropriating the money for the
school, which provides that the
new school shall be built on state
lands.

Land of the South! imperial land
How proud thy mountains rise
How sweet thy every hand!
How fair thy covering skies!
But not for ths-oh not for these,
love thy fields to roam
Thou hast a dearcr spell to me-
Thou art my native home
Thy rivers roll their liquid wealth,
Unequaed to the sea
Thy hills and valleys bloom with health
And green with verdure be!
But not for thy proud ocean streams
Not for thine azure dome
Sweet sunny South! | cling to thee
Thou art my native home
I've stood beneath Itaa's cline,
Beloved of tale and song
On Helvyn's hills, proud and sublime,
Where natures wonders throng;
BY Temples classic sunlt streams,
Where gods Of old did roam
But ne'er have found so fair land
AS thou-my native home! Ia.
And thou hast prouder gories, too,
Than nature gave
Peace sheds DER thee her genial dew,
And Freedoms pinions wave
Fair science filings her pearls around,
Religion lifts her dome
These, these endear thee to my heart
My own, loved native home!
And heavens best gift to man. is thine,
God bless thy rosy girls!
Like sylvan flowers they sweetly shine
Their hearts pure pearls!
And grace and goodness circle them
Whereer their footsteps roam
How can l. then, whilst loving them,
Not love my native home.
Land of the South-imperia land
Then here's a health to thee
Long thy mountain barriers stand
May'st thou be blessed and free!
May dark dissension's banner neer
Wave oer thy fertile LOAN
But should it come there's will die
To his native home!
