TEN COUNTIES TO SECEDE
Fouthwest Washington Plans Move

CENTRALIA. Wash- Jan. t-(Special.)
A movement is under way by wblch 10
counties of Southwest Washington are
seeking; divorce from Pierce County

ing of that part for Congressional repre
sentation. Tim counties are 1-ev. is. Che
liali. Clark. Kllrkltat. Cow It. Clallam.
Pacific. Thurston. Wahkiakum and Jeffer

ta.lve professional and business men.
n1 legislators of those counties, asking
them to attend a meeting to be held on
Monday night In the hall of the Centralia
Commercial Club, and responses received
bv Secretary Eaton, of the club, and
(Secretary Fames, of the Southwest Wash
ington Development Association, eneour
ti' the orcin i.-rs to anticipate an at
tendance of several hundreds. The total
population of the 10 counties affected is
l?S.t4. and if any further strength is
found recessary to gain the district with
out Including; Pierce County It will have
to come from counties east of the moun
tains, v
There la a strong belief bere that, al
though the meeting tomorrow in this
city Is to be nominally an Invitation af
fir. with a tacit wlcome for whosoever
else may rare to attend to help things
out. the attendance will not be without
a number of politicians from the other
wing of the movement, who will be heard
from after wedging themselves in the
meeting.
POSTAL BANKS TO OPEN
continued From F1rt Page.'
limited to patrons of the postofflces at
which tha system Is established. The
service Is entirely, free, no fee being
required in connection with the open
ing of an account or the withdrawal
of money deposited.
Haifa Laid Down.
No person connected with the Post
office Irpartmcnt will be permitted to
d'sciose either the name of a depositor,
of the amount of his deposit, unless di
rected to do so by the Postmaster-General.
Deposits may be withdrawn at
any time with accrued Interest, or the
interest alone may be withdrawn.
While deposits of less than SI will
not be received, small amounts may be
saved for deposit by the purchase of
postal savings cards at 10 cents each
and of 10-cent postal savings stamps,
which have been specially prepared for
the purpose and will be on sale at all
depository offices. Each postal savlnca
card contains blank spaces to which 10
rent savings stamps may be affixed as
purchased.
The postmaster will accept a postal
savings card with nine 10-cent savings
stamps affixed as a deposit of tl either
In opening an account or In adding; to
an existing account. This feature Is
expected to appeal particularly to chil
dren and to encourage In them habits
of thrift. t
Bonds May Re Had.
An interesting feature of the system
Is the privilege accorded a depositor of
converting his savings into United
States bonds, to be Issued In denomi
nations of 10. $40. 160. ISO and $100.
and multiples of S100 up to J500.
The bonds will be Issued In both reg
istered and coupon form and will bear
interest at the rate o( lit per cent,
payable semi-annually. The bonds are
redeemable at the pleasure of the
I'nlted States one year from the date of
Issue In gold coin. No limit Is placed
on the (mount of these bends a de
positor may acquire, as the bonds are
not counted as a part of the maximum
of tioo allowed one depositor.
Most of the funds received from de
positors will be placed in local banks
throughout the country so that the
money may be available for current
commercial needs. These deposits will
be secured by bonds deposited by the
banks with the Treasurer of the United
States. Five per cent of the deposits
willbe held by the Treasurer of the
United States as a reserve and the
Board of Trustees is authorised to
Invest SO per cent 'in United States
bonds.
Nation's Faith Fledged.
Tha faith of the United" States Is
pledged to the payment of all deposits
with accrued Interest.
Tha savings certificate plan of Indi
cating deposits was adopted upon the
recommendation of tha committee of
experts appointed last Juna by Postmaster-General
Hitchcock. It was
found that the expense of operating
the passbook system In foreign coun
tries was very great, the central of
fice la England requiring the services
of several thousand bookkeepers to
transact the postal savings business.
Among the postofflces designated by
Postmaster-General Hitchcock as pos
tal savings depositories ara ths follow
ing, all of the offices being of tha sec
ond class: Globe. Arts.; Orovllle. Cat.:
Leadvllle. Colo.; Coeur dVAlene. Idaho:
Anaconda. Mont.; Carson City. Nev.j
Klamath Falls. Or.: Provo. Utah.; Olyra
pla. Wash.: Laramie. Wyo.
If ths system adopted proves suc
cessful. It is planned to extend ths
service as rapidly aa practicable. In
time practically every money order
postofflce In the country will be a
postal savings depository.

STEAMER IS TAKEN
Strathlyon to Fill Place of
Selja on Pacific.
SERVICE BEGINS JAN. 31
rortland & Asiatic Steamship Com
. pany Secures Vessel From Eng-
Hah Firm, Bnrrell Son,
for Term of One Year.
As successor to ths Norwegian
steamer Sella, which was sunk recently
off Point Reyes by the steamer Beaver,
the British steamer Btratnlyon has
been chartered for one year by the
Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company.
The Strathlyon Is a large tramp,
owned by Burrell A Son, of England,
who also own the Strathfillan, which is
nswr making; one voyage to the Orient
for the Portland Asiatic Company.
The Strathlyon will be turned over to
ths Portland A Astatic line on Janu
ary SI. at Hongkong, where she wlU
be loaded at once and sent to this port.
It Is expected that she will be ready
to leave Portland on her first voyage
out of this port early in March.
This will be the first visit of the
Strathlyon to Portland. She is one of
the larger tramp steamers belonging
to Burrell & Son. who also own 25
other steamers of her pattern, each
having her name start with Strath.
The Strathlyon was built at Glasgow
In 1J07 and has a capacity of 2846 tons,
net. She is S7 feet In length. 62 feet
in the beam and 17.4 feet in the hold.
After the Selja was sunk, the ques
tion of getting her successor began to
puzzle the managers of the Harriman
steamship lines. The Strathfillan was
the most available vessel at that time,
but she was chartered for only one
voyage from Portland to the Orient.
The Strathlyon will relieve her at
Hongkong, and return to Portland with
the cargo that should have been taken
by the Strathfillan In case she hsd con
tinued In service for the Portland A
Asiatic Steamship Company.
The Norwegian steamer Henrlk Ib
sen, which Is one of the fleet of
freighters chartered by the Portland &
Asiatic Steamship Company, sailed yes
terday for Portland from San Fran
cisco, where she went while en route
to this place to deliver some freight.
The Strathlyon has recently complet
a trip from New York to P.rt Natal.
She will probably lay up until ijcr time
comes to go onto the Portland run.
All the vessels operated by the Port
land Asiatic Steamship Company are
receiving liberal patronage, but wheth
er the company will find it profitable
to Increase the number of liners has
not been intimated.
NEW YEAU SHIPPING IS GOOD.
Seventeen Vessels Passing Over Co
lombia Bar Is Day's Record.
If shipping across the Columbia Bar
would keep active during all the year of
1911 as It wag yesterday, other ports
would be left behind. As a starter for
the new year, there were 17 vessels passed
either in or out over the bar yesterday.
The total net tonnage of these, according
to figures prepared by .the Merchants'
Exchange, was 22, M7. -
Midwinter is usually supposed to bs
the dull season in shipping, and a record
day like yesterday for this season of the
year is taken as an indication of un
usual prosperity In shipping lines.
American-Hawaiian. Makes Change.
Private omces were established by the
American-Hawaiian Steamship Company
In Portland yesterday, w'th C. D. Ken
nedy as local agent. The company was
previously represented in this city by
Cook 4 Co.. with offices in the Commer
cial Club building, but as Cook & Co.
has gone out of business. It was neces
sary to make a change. The company
baa also opened lis own offices in Seattle.
Marine Notes.
With 73 passengers snd less than her
usual amount of freight, owing to the
holidays, the steamer Breakwater ar
rived from Coos Bay yesterday.
Captain Nedelbec. of the French bark
Pierre Antonlne, entertained a number
of friends at a New Year's dinner on
his vessel yesterday afternoon.
When the steamer Bear leaves for San
Francisco and Los. Angeles this after
noon, she will carry only 275 passengers.
The falling off in number of passengers
to the southern ports Is limited to those
taking steernge. as the Bear has her
usual number of first-class passengers.

C. DUNITON, Sec President-
Thomas Jefferson Jackson See, the as
tronomer now in charge of the United
States Navy Observatory of Mare Island,
Cal., who was born on a. farm near this
city, sent his relatives here a message
containing the interesting information
regarding his researches and theories
tending to show the evolution of a solar
system and habitable condition of Venus.
This theory changes all reasoning on
cotm-ilcsH -evolution accepted since the
time of Laplace. Professor See says ac
cepted theories are vitiated by false
promise to the effect that the planet had
been detached from the mm by accelera
tion of rotation when she matter of this
globe was originally expanded into Neb
ula filling their orbits and rotating in
equilibrium under conditions of hydro
static pressure and that satellites had
been detached from planets In tha. same
way.
This reasoning. Professor See asserts,
on the shedding of planets and. satellites
under the supposed Influence of acceler
ated rotation of relatively large central
bodies which govern their motion Is now
Invalidated.
Dr. See says he feels quite certain that
Venus Is not only habitable but is prob
ably inhabited by Intelligent beings.
