The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 rs revolving fund with
which to buy powder for land clear
ing and road building purposes. All
that is necessary to make use of this
appropriation is for the county to
furnish q building for the magazine,
and appoint someone to handle the
powder. When handled in this way
anyone can buy powder for land clear
Ing at cost at any time without wait
ing for q carload to be made up. At
the present time there are quite q
number of men very anxious to get
powder, but until there are orders
amounting to ten tons little advan-
tage is gained from buying coopeera-
lively.
A committee consisting OF c. G..
Aspinwall, J. w. Hicks. and Frank
Edwards was appointed to present
the petitions, which are to be re-
turned to the county extension office
by January Is, to the county commits
SiOners.
While the project leaders are secur-
ing signatures for the establishment
of powder magazine. they will also
inquire regarding community needs
for powder and superphosphate, The
representatives of the different pow
der companies will be asked to sub
nit bids to George f. Stearns, county
marketing leader, and a committee,
powder. Orders for five tons are
already filed with the county agent,
f. B. Stookey, and the inquiry by the
project leaders is expected to create
sufficient additional orders to make
up a carload.
Superphosphate will be bought in
the same way as powder. The mer-
chants will be asked to submit bids
on January IS to he passed upon by
the county project leader and a COM
mittee Enough orders are already
on hand to make up carload each
for Yelm and Olympia, the two places

Too Vagancy Fines Didn't
Stop This Buddy: He's Here

1t took more than two fines for
vagrancy and several rough con-
tacts with the rougher shoes Of
hard hearted freight brakemen to
keep one Of the Fifth Division bud
dies away from the reunion which
starts here today.
This hardened veteran of the Vos-
ges was broke when he heard
about the reunion, and what he could
get together was only enough to
have a good time here. If he paid
his fare from Johnstown, Pa, there
would be nothing left on his arrival
here.
So he took to the freights. Two
vagrancy fines discouraged him to
the extent that he decided to walk
instead of making himself an un-
invited guest of the railroads-but
he's here.
