BY The Associated Press.

Anxiety over the foreign
captives held in the Shantung
hills by Chinese bandits was
heightened today when word
reached Tientsin from Tsao-
chwang of a clash between
troops of the Chinese government and
members of the outlaw band. A de-
thchment of bandits. attempting to
join h main body at the Paotzuku
mountain stronghold. was said to
havo"been driven bach after a SHARP
fight with the soldiers.
This incident. IT is feared. may add
fuel to the smouldering vindictive-
ness of the bandits. who already ara
described in IN unconhrmed report
to have hurled three Chinese captives
over a precipice to their death as a
warning to the authorities. Tho
brigands repeatedly have threatened
to Kill all their prisoners IL the troops
investing their hills were not with
drawn and the bandits, in accord
with tho terms drafted by their
chulftain. granted immunity and en-
rolled in the national army.
Further advices from Tsaochwang
connfIneu inc report mat the bandits
had moved their captives farther
back into the mountain wilderness.
Troops had not Withdrawn today. but
remained surrounding the territory
occupied by tho bandits. and SOM
munication with the captives was be-
coming increasingly difficult.
Another alarming evidence of the
general unrest in China was recorded
yesterday on the arrival In Shanghai
of the train from Picking. Members
OF the Chinese government gendar-
merle had boarded the train. attacked
officials, beat Chinese who
resisted and seized q quantity of loot,
retaining possession of the train for
several hours. despite the protests OF
foreigners. Consular Representatives
aboard, aiding the Chinese officials.
finally persuaded tho gendarmss to
leave.
A report reached Shanghai tina
bandits. ~entrenched back of Lincheng,
were contemplating n sortie to kid
nap more foreigners who have been
negotiating for the release of tho

FEATURE RACE PROGRAM.

Horse racing-who does not
love itY-once called the sport
of kings-but now ii has become
more democratic. The Western
Washington fair has always feat
ured its fine racing program and
the fair officials state that the rae.
ing cards this year will be better
than usual.
The track at the fair grounds at
Puyallup is a third of a mile
circle. There is no "straigh-
away" with turns. The uniform
curve Of the circle keeps the run
ming horses ON a steady jump at
their best and a race is readily
seen, from start to finish, by every
body in the gramdstand.
When a little group of real run
ners gets off to a good start, and
the urge for victory goes into
every motion of horse and jockey,
when length by length the eager,
determined racers press a little
harder, and every vancouver and
every extra effort is in plain sight
of the great mass Of onl00kefs,
the race is fair and earnest and
thrills go up and down the spine.
Between races of the very top
nochers a ndthose between horses
of little less class there is not
so great a difference in the thrill
and the pleasure to be had from
seeing the race. except for the ex-
pert horseman and horse fancier," "
said an official of the fair recently.
But we endeavor to get the best
running horses to be found in this
section of the country and we gen
orally get them. The races this
year will be between some of the
best horses now on the tracks in
the far west
The Western Washington fair
will be in full swng for seven
days this year-one day longer
than last year 1t will be regular
iy opened Monday morning, Oc-
tober |, and continue until and in
cluding Sunday night, October I.
There will be continuous racing
during fair week.

STEEN MILL COMPANY
GOES TO ELLISPORT
Preparations Being Made to
Produce Lumber for
Export Trade.

Work was commenced this
week by the II. Steen Mill COM
pany for the erection of a $4,000
saw mill on the site of the Fuller
mill at Ellisport, and when the
plant is completed Vashon island
will be ON the map as an exporter
Of lumber for foreign trade.
Some months ago Mr.. Steen Sc
cured lease ON the Fuller mill
site at Ellisport covering an area
of about 300 water front and 1000
feet in depth. Preparations for
the enlargmg of the old mill and
the purchase of additional ma
chinery have gone on quietly for
several months. This week ma
terial is being hauled from the
present mill and active work will
be commenced at once. A pile
driver is being constructed for the
company at Dockton and on its
completion a wharf will be con-
structed that will permit of deep
sea vessels loading at the dock
and bids will be made for export
trade.
lnasmuch as the greater part of
the timber of this part of the is
land has been cut Mr.. Steen has
been looking about for new To-
cation for some time. Ellispor,
offered the best inducements,
that being of the best protected
harbor available and at the same
time making it possible to tow logs
in from all parts of Puget Sound.
The Steen Mill company has
served the needs of the island for
many years and has many friends
who trust that the new venture
will be highly profitable.

FEDERAL AID FOR CLEARING

State officials have put up to
the federal department of agri-
culture the question whether fed
eral aid moneys can be used for
clearing rights-of-way prior to
grading roads in the state high
way system. Northwestern offic-
ials of the bureau of roads and
some of the higher officials at
Washington believe this is a prop
er use of federal aid moneys, but
the question may be submitted to
the solicitor gneral for final
opinion. A favorable ruling is ex-
tremely important on parts Of
the Olympic highway where the
state wishes to do a great deal of
clearing then allow the right-of-
way to dry out before grading is
started. The same question will
come up later ON other new work
