CiDil Engineers Haze
Desire to Get Pay
Nearly Every Other Profession Has
Legal Protection in Filling
Liens Against Property.

Civil engineers and surveyors In
the state have bill in the House at
this session which they are anxiously
watching. These men have found
that while every other class Of busi-
ness and profession has some sort
Iof protection under the law in case
of bad debts they have none. They
are now asking the state legislature
to give them the right upon the per-
formance Of some engineering work
to file lien against the property upon
which such work was done. where
the owner has failed to pay his engin-
eering bill. The measure is known
as House Bill No. 10. Under the
present conditions the civil engineers
declare they survey property, draw
iplans and spend considerable money
on completing the work and then in
many cases they are not paid or else
are the last to be paid and in some
instances are forced to sue to collect
their money. In these cases the per-
son sued Is usually financially flxed
so that the judgment is worthless.
The civil engineers bill is just one
of the several measures which are be-
fore the legislature which have ap-
parently more than ordinary merit,
vet which can easily be overlooked
in the wheels of progress of the legis-
Ilature unless some tireless worker is
consistently present to push the bill
before the Legislature.

FORDSON TRACTORS
TAKE ANOTHER DROP
Henry Ford Sends Telegram to l.. f.
Titus Placing Price at
$1O5.

The price of Fordson tractors has
been reduced $1e5, according to a
telegram received by the Titus Ford
Service from Henry Ford yesterday.
The purpose Of Mr. Ford in making
this early reduction in the price of
the Fordson tractor instead OF wait
ing until a later date to give the
farmer assurance that he wilt be
able to plant his crop on time in the
spring and also that he will be able
to harvest crop in the fail before the
rainy season sets in. Last fall many
crops in this county and elsewhere
were lost because the farmers were
to gather their crops quickly. II they
had had mechanical implements they
could have harvested their crops be-
fore the rainy season set in.
Have Stock Oh Hand.
The l.. K. Titus organization is
Olympia, Tenino and Centralia have
a good stock of Fordson tractors on
hand at this time. Mr.. Titus desires
to care for the prospective buyers of
these tractors at the first opportunity
He believes that the prospects for
supplying the local demand for trac.
tors are bright, but nevertheless to
be sure that every thing goes right
he left yesterday for Detroit to de-
termine that arrangements are made
for quick shipments of Fordson trac-
tors.

FILE DRASTIC ALIEN
! sLAND OWNERSHIP BILL
esler Rnl Jopes df King County Plan
Enforcement Of Constitutional
Inhibition.

Prevention of japanese owning
leasing, or holding land for any pur-
pose except mining and milling is
provided in House Bill No. 70 intro
duced Thursday morning by represen-
tatives Adam Beeler and James T.
Jones of King county. This measure
is more carefully drawn than the
initiative measure especially provid-
ing that the use of land accorded
under an existing treaty may be con-
tinued for a period not longer than
ten years. The state constitution, the
bill points out, already prohibits
aliens from holding land, and pro-
vides that land now held, or later
acquired. by an alien shall be for
feited to the state.
A person who has declared his in
tention of becoming citizen shall
have the right to hold land as a
citizen, but he must complete admit
tance to full citizenship within seven
years Of the declaration, otherwise
the land he may hold shall be for
feited.
The bill is specifically drawn to
apply to aliens Of any nationality
although aimed to prevent Orientals
from direct use of land, especially
for agricultural and hotel purposes.
Corporations the majority of whose
members are aliens, or the majority
of the capital stock Of which is held
by aliens shall be considered as aliens
under the proposed bill. 1t also
makes it unlawful for a citizen to hold
property in trust for an alien.

Happiness in GIadncss.

BE glad. When you have said all
there is to say about life's sorrow,
disappointment and pain, about the
selfishness and wrong that sweep over
the earth like shadows, about the
shortness of its days and the certainty
Of its nights, it still remains blessedly
true that the universe is thrilling with
the song Of gladness," says a helpful
writer.
BE glad for the beauty of the
springtime, the blue of the skies, the
music of the birds and the glory of
the sunsets. Listen to the laughter
of the little children, answer to the
handclasp of friendship, grow warm
in the lovelight of countless happy
homes and he sure that somewhere
over and above all is great Love that
makes all these things possible"
The secret of happiness lies in your
own attitude toward life.-OrisOn

sists of a tube, usually of cane, about

purpose and carefully Strengthened
with the aid of fire. Slender pointed
darts about eight inches long are used
as ammunition, each one wrapped
neatly along third of its length with

places a dart in the tube, which he
