CHEHAIJS. Wash.. June J. (Spe
cial.) The 'filing of articles of incor
poration at Olympia today of the Che-halis-Cowlitz
& Cascade Railway Com
pany by J. E. Corlett and W. E. Waldo,
well-known capitalists of Seattle, is
expected to result in the rushing to im
mediate completion the Chehalis &
Cowlitz Railroad line, which business.
men of this city promoted about five
years ago and which it was planned
would put this city in direct railroad
conection with Eastern Lewis County
and Cowlitz River Valley.
The capital stock of the new com
pany Us jl00.000. Mr. Corlett and his
associates in the project expect to have
contractors at work immediately com
pleting the construction work on the
line from Chehalis to a point in the
Balkum neighborhood, 22 miles south
and east of this city, so that the line
may be complete and in operation
within about 90 days. The contractors
who are to do the work are the Nettle-ton-Bruce-Eshbach
Company, of Se
attle, of which P. J. Eshbach is presi
dent and Clarke Nettleton is secretary
and treasurer.
The Chehalis & Cowlitz line, which
will be taken over by the new company,
is already built -to a point about eight
miles southeast of Chehalis. on Newau
kum Prairie. This portion of the road
will be reballasted later and a new
bridge constructed. The remainder of
the distance of approximately 14 miles
will be comparatively easy work
through which to construct the new
line, which will touch the new town
of Onalaska.
The right of way for the line has
"been obtained for the entire distance.
The new railroad line will tap an im
mense belt of timber which up to a
recent date has never had any kind of
rail transportation.
Chehalis now is assured of the im
mediate erection of a new sawmill
with a daily capacity of 60,000 feet. C.
A. Doty, formerly head of the Doty
Lumber & Single Company, but who
for the past two years has been re
ceiver of the Chester Snow Log &
Shingle Company at Littell, has an
nounced that he and his associates
will immediately construct the mill in
this city.
The mill will be at the lower end
of Chehalis, west of Millett Field and
extending southward from Joseph
street to the State Training School
holdings. The tract of land in ques
tion includes 15 acres and the site is
most desirable. The pond and mill
will be placed at the lower end of the
tract where water will be available.
The yards will be at the north end
The site is directly alongside the double
track railroad system through this city
and will be easily accessible to trans
portation over the Northern Pacific,
O.-W. R. & N. and Great Northern
lines as well as the Chehalis-Cowlitz
& Cascade line.
To the efforts of the Citizens Club,
of Chehalis, is largely due the success
ful location of Mr. Doty's sawmill
project at this place and in addition to
this one or two other manufacturing
propositions are being tentatively con
sidered by the men at the head of the
organization.
State Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, Salem, is at the Seward.
W. C. Bentley and Mrs. Bentley. of
Tekoa, Wash., are at the Imperial.
F. Duane Wieden, formerly a student

Vice-Presidential Nominee Requests
Secretary Olcott to Leave Him
Out When $200 Is Asked
For Telegram Is Refused.
SALEM. Or., June 1. (Special.)
But for the fact that Oregon's laws
unfortunately do not permit a. person
to be a candidate for two offices at the
same time. William Grant - Webster, of
Chicago, this state's choice for the
Republican nomination for Vive-President
of the United States, would have
appeared on the Oregon Republican
primary ballot as a candidate for Pres
ident as well as Vice-President. ,
The officiaf correspondence which
The Honorable "William Grant Webster
carried on with Secretary of State
Olcott prior to the promaries is of in
terest now that the Chicagoan is Ore
gon's apparent choice for the Repub
lican nomination for Vice-President. It
shows that the Honorable Grant de
sired to capture the Republican Presi
dential choice in this state as well as
the Vice-Presidential preference.
On March 18 Mr. Webster wrote to
Secretary Olcott saying that he could
find nothing to prevent a candidate
from running for both offices of Presi
dent and Vice-President of the United
States.
"What would be the ruling of your
office," -wrote Mr. Webster, "in case it
received a request from a. candidate to
be placed on the ballot for both of
fices?" Replying to this strange inquiry. Sec
retary Olcott advise Mr. Webster "that
it would seem that no person could
aspire for the nomination, or rather
the indorsement of the members of his
political party for the nomination for
both offices."
Apparently this explanation ''satis
fled Mr. Webster that he could not run
tor two offices at once, for on April 8
he sent a request to Secretary Olcott
to place his name on the Republican
ballot for Vice-President..- He also en
closed a statement for the official cam
paign pamphlet, but neglected to send
$200 along to pay for the cost of print
ing as required by law. Under the
impression that this little item had
been forgotten in the excitement of
forwarding the material for the pam
phlet, the Secretary telegraphed Mr.
Webster to send at once the money
necessary. Four days elapsed, and
then Mr. Webster telegraphed as tol
lows:
"Omit me from the campaign pam
phlet. I supposed it free for President
and Vice-President candidates."
Mr. Webster, in his haste, sent this
last message "collect," and Secretary
Olcott refused to pay it.
