BY ADDISON BENNETT. -TEMINO,
Wash.. Oct. 13, (Special
Correspondence. )--When one speaks of
Tenlno the first thought is of building
stone, for the stone quarries here
abouts turn out as fine stone as do any
other quarries in the country, and in
very large quantities. Just now one
of the plants, the Hercules Sandstone
Company, Is filling a contract with the
Government for stone for the Grays
Harbor jetty, the amount contracted
for being 210,000 tons. At least that
is the tonnage given me. but I did not
get it officially.
The Hercules concern has three
quarries, from which they get blue
and gray building stone, sandstone and
blue granite. Many notable buildings
in the Northwest have been constructed
of Tenino stone. "Notably the capitol
at Olympia. and, I think, the l'ost
office in Portland. Also the stone for
the Seattle Public Auditorium.
The other company is the Tenino
Stone Company, which turns out blue
and buff building stone. These quar
ries employ a good many men during
the entire year and their pay rolls as
sist very materially in making Tenino
the prosperous little city it undoubted
ly Is.
The first thing I usually look for in
a town is the Commercial Club. If I
find such an organization, but discover
that it is in a moribund condition I
always feel sorry for that place, but if
1 find a good and active commercial
organization I feel sure that there Is a
OTighty good reason for the town being
on the map. Here I found a live or
ganization with a capable secretary,
one who took great pains to give
me facts and figures, a man who has
implicit faith in the Tenino of today
and the Tenino of the future.
Secretary Ovtaa Weekly Paper.
His name is Maurice MacDonald. He
Is the owner and elitor of the Tenino
Journal, a tine weekly newspaper pub
lished here. He has only been here a
few months, but he is making good
in every way. The president of the
Commercial Club is T. H. McLaffery,
one ot the solid and substantial busi
ness men of the place. The club is
sues some unpretentious but illuminat
ing; literature regarding the town and
its surrounding country, which will be
sent to inquirers upon application to
the secretary. There Is also another
Rood weekly paper here, the Tenino
Sews, issued by John K. Venner. Both
of these plants have good job facilities,
both enjoy a good advertising patron
age, and both seem .to be making
money.
3. M. Peterson is the Mayor ot
Tenino, and under his administration
the town has put down considerable
good pavement, there now being nearly
two miles of paved streets and several
miles of cement walks. There are three
good church buildings, the Methodist
Kpiscopal, Presbyterian and Roman
Catholic. Rev. J. W. Miller is the
pastor of the former, the two latter
pastorates are for the moment vacant,
but services are held regularly by non
resident clergymen.
The people feel mighty proud of
their public school, and have a fine
building. Professor C. Lee Martin Is
the principal. He must be efficient for
he is now serving his ninth consecu
tive year in that capacity.
Confidence la Regalmed.
Nearly every reader of The Orego
Bian knows that somewhere about a
year or year-and-a-half ago. the entire
"Southwestern Washington, section was
ripped up the back by a series of bank
failures, about a dozen of them in all.
No section of the country ever got a
worse blow than that gave this great
area. Tenino was "in it." Her bank,
considered as safe as Gibralter. closed
its doors, and will pay but a mighty
small dividend. That loft the- place
without a bank. The day before Christ-
thus. 1914. K. G. Friedrichsen came here
and organized the Citizens' Bank in
stitution with a capital of $10,300, S.
M. Peterson taking the presidency. It
was pretty tough sledding for a time,
as the people were wary of banks. But
the institution has gone slowly ahead,
confidence Is returning, and it now has
deposits ot about $30,000. Which
mighty good for a bank about nine
months old.
Tenino has a population of some
where about 1500 people. The place
Is slowly growing, several dwellings
having gone up here during the past
Summer. There is a fine water supply
and the place is well lighted. The
water plant is owned by the Washing
ton-Oregon Corporation, and the latter
by the Northwest Electric and Water
Works. The local manager of both
plants is F. L. Stokes. Both are good
systems, give good service, and the
prices are considered reasonable.
Amcrtig the many business houses I
note the following: Campbell A Camp

RnlldlBKH Rented In Advance.
As the saloons will go out of busi
ness on the last day of December I
did not tnke the names of the pro
prietors. But 1 can say this: the three
rooms now occupied by the saloons
have all been rented to be occupied as
soon as the saloons "expire."
There arc many smaller establish
ments which might be mentioned. 1
, want to show by the number of busi
ness houses that Tenino Is quite a
city. Of course there are blacksmiths,
auto repair shops, poolhalls, moving
picture establishments and all such
places.
However, I must name the hotels. 1
Etopped at the Francis, which Is a
fine large house and well kept. Mrs.
Alice Pollman being the manager. The
Central Hotel is kept by J. W. Stein,
and the Tenino Hotel by William G.

Big Man Tries to Sell Dainty
Powder Puff Case.
Prlnonrr Tells Police Jndin Article
Was Given to Him, and Gets An
other Present of Continued 30
Dy Sentence.
CHARLES A. ROSS presented the un
usual picture of a big-, and not
overly clean man," carrying a dainty
little powder puff case when he was
arrested by Officers Ferry and Nelson
Tuesday night. Ross, when he was cap
tured, was attempting to dispose of the
case, which was fitted with a mirror
and was altogether a beautiful little
article.
When brought before Judge Steven
son yesterday he attempted to account
for his possession of the case.
"Judge." he said, "well, you see, this
was given to me and, me being hard up,
I was trying to sell it, for a little
money."
"Is that the way you do with your
presents?" asked the judge. "I sup
pose now when people give you Christ
mas presents you go out and dispose of
them for what they will bring. I won
der what you would do now if I would
present you with a sentence of 30
days!"
The prisoner's face fell at the mere
mention of such a gift, and he began
to refute the suggestions that he would
dispose of presents in such a whole
sale manner as the judge intimated.
"I won't give you 30 days this time,'
broke in the judge. "Instead I will con
tinue your sentence and give you your
freedom. Be sure, though, that you
don't give it away by getting into
trouble again."
