BOAT COMPANY
MUST NOT GIVE
AWAY NICE DINNERS

Though charging the rate previous
ly fixed by the Department of Public
Works at $3.50 round trip for
transportation on Lake Chelan, the
Perry Boat company is seeing to it
that passengers on that companyiS
boats have a nice dinner, valued at
one dollar, at the hotel at Stehekin,
according to complaint reaching the
Department of Public Works from
another boat company.
The department recently fixed the
rate of $3.50 for all boat lines operat-
ing, against the contention of the
Perry company that it was operating
slower boats and therefore should
be permitted to charge lower rate.
On the latest complaint the depart
ment has notified the Perry company
that, IL 1t is furnishing the nice hotel
meals of which the other company
complains as an inducement to pass
engers to travel on it's boats, the prac.
tice must be abandoned Immediately

Seeking to correct the evils which
have afflicted the cranberry industry
in this state, the state department Of
agriculture Is meeting the problem

tor E. L. French announced today.
Experts are developing methods to
combat pests and diseases which have

being worked out to standardize the
Washington berry and thus command
a market and price which were
never before realized.
With the departments aid, the
growers are regaining hope and there
is every indication that the industry
will be preserved, Director French
said. Mr.. French and Supervisor c.

Burglars in the act of looting the
Olympia Garage Company's sales
room at the corner of Fifth and Col
umbia streets were interrupted by
the arrival of Patrolman William
Forbes. They made their getaway
but left behind the loot they had
intended to carry away.
Forbes noticed an automobile
parked close to the back door of the
garage and watched man make a
trip from the garage out to the car,
back into the garage and out again.
He started for the scene but the man
jumped into the machine and drove
rapidly away.
Forbes found the garage door open
and the safe open. Eight cord tires
which had been in the rack in the
front part of the store had been put
close to the back door. Manager G..
B. Branch believes the burglar was
starting to load the tires into the
machine when interrupted by the
arrival Of the policeman.
Check Shows Nothing Missing
So far as a check of the stock dis
closed today nothing was missing tho
the check of tires and tubes was not
definite enough to be certain on this
point. Some cash in the cash drawer
was undisturbed, and though the safe
had been opened, the inner compart-
ment in which considerable amount
Of money reposed was not broken
into.
The burglary appears to have been
the work of person or persons who
was familiar with the building. The
sliding door at the back of the build
Ing on Columbia street usually is
bolted but the bolt apparently had
been pulled out by someone in the
store shortly before closing time
yesterday. This permitted the open.

It was the work of several minutes
to shift the tires from the rack tt
the back door.
| Forbes attention was attracted BY
the automobile standing at the curl
with lights out and motor running.

COAL MINE STRIKE
SITUATION LOOKS
MOST D|sCOuRAG|NG
Director Clifford to Get
Miners and Operators
into Conference
OWNERS HAVE SERVED
NOTICES OF EVICTION
Special Convention in Seattle and
National Officers Oppose Wage
Reduction.

The coal mine strike situation of
to Director Ed. Clifford, Of the de-
partment of labor and industries.
Within the next few days mine opera
tors of the state will issue a state
ment declaring their intention to re-
open the mines which have been
closed since March Is, and accord
ing to Director Clifford, this will
mean open warfare between union
and non-union miners. Hope has
not been given up entirely by Direc-
tor Clifford, who believes there is
still a chance for settlement if he
can succeed in getting the operators
and miners together in conference.
The mine operates have already
served eviction notices upon the men
living in company owned houses. 1t
is the plan of the operators to have
all union miners out Of mine owned
houses by August 81.
OlTOClOT SIluOIu has UCCA WI Mig
for the past month in an earnest en-
deavor to get the mine situation
cleared up. Every means at the COM
mand has been used by him to show
each side it's mistakes in order to
get compromise.
The mines will reopen at wages
specified by James Airport, mine ex-
pert, whose services were obtained
by the state to help solves the mine
problem here, but the exact condi-
lions under which the properties will
resume work is the problem. The
Airport scale represents a reduction
of about 20 per cent in the scale that
existed prior to the mine shutdown
five months ago. The new scale pro-
vides generally wage of $500 for
general labor below ground; Sc for
timbermen, tracklayers and similar
labor below the ground, and Sc for
engineers, carpenters and similar
labor below ground. Coal diggers
will net from $3.50 to s13 per day.

BELLINCHAM GAS
COMPANY RECEIVES
INCREASE IN RATES
Department of Public Works Finds
Utility Concern Has Been
Operating at Loss.

Though granted an increase in the
rates by the Department of Public
works, the Bellingham Gas company
must improve its purifying process
as well as the regulation of gas pres
sure, under ruling made by the
Department yesterday.
The gas company asked permits
sion to increase it's rates and at the
hearing made a showing of operation
practically without profit since 1t
began service and with a loss Of one
half of one per cent last year. Sub
scribers to the company's service
complain Of poor pressure and Of the
strong odor from the gas. The in
crease granted which Director e. v.
Kuykendall estimated will average
35 cents per month for each sub
scriber, is calculated to yield the COM
pany net profit of one per cent per
annum on a valuation fixed by the
department engineer at $374,OOO.
Director Kuykendall of the depart
ment Of public works stated that the
general downward trend of prices
has not affected gas companies in
any way for the reason that the gas
making material consists chiefly of
coal and gas oil. There has been
slight drop in gas oil but not enough
to Offset the high price of coal due to
the coal strike in this state.
ut is costing companies more to
manufacture gas now than 1t did dur
ing the period of high war prices"
said Director Kuykendall.

to the wealth of the state. There are
thousands Of acres Of bog land in
southwestern Washington and cli-
matte conditions are ideal. The in
dustry started in the southern part
of the state on fairly large scale
but methods in use elsewhere proved
not to be adapted to conditions here.
Too many varieties were planted, the
result that there was no standard
Washington berry. The fruit reached
the market ungraded and commanded
low price in competition with the
standardized fruit of other states.
This is the condition the department
is seeking to correct.

CREW REMAINS ON
BOARD FOR RELIEF
Shipping Men Believe Vessel Is in
Danger of Breaking Up or

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 9.-The
sc passengers of the Pacific Mail
steamer San Jose were being landed
today on the Lower California coast
according to late advices to the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
marine department.
The San Jose went on San Pablo
reef yesterday while en- route from
Balboa, Canal Zone, to San Fran
cisco. She carried heavy general
cargo.
received here this morning, the vessel
started to shift her position on the
reef and was evidently in danger Of
breaking up or sinking.
In an effort to tighten the ship
and keep her afloat cargo was being
jettisoned from the lower hold, the
advices here said.
This dispatch was received soon
after one saying that the vessel was
holding firm, had been received. That
message was to the effect that the
passengers and crew were remaining
aboard.
It was believed here that the pas
sengers were ordered ashore in small
boats but that the crew will remain
aboard awaiting the arrival of relief
ships which probably cannot reach
the scene before tomorrow morning.
Shipping men pointed out that the
situation with the San Jose is not
much different than the steamer
Alaska, wrecked at Blunt's reef,
California Saturday night and that
the San Jose may be in danger Of
slipping from the reef and sinking
