DAIRY INDUSTRY THRIVING
Coal Big Factor In District's Prog
ress and Excellence of Goods,
Together With Traffic Fa
cilities, Held Important.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
CHKHALIS, Wash, March 29. (Spe
cial.) If the citizen of this town
runs out of fuel all he needs to
replenish his supply .Is a pick and
patience, for he can go to digging? In
the cellar and in due course of time
strike a pood vein of fine coal. And It
Is this coal that has undoubtedly had
much to do with the splendid growth
and One prosperity of this region.
That Lewis County is and has been
prosperous can be eeen by the figures.
The county contains 2369 square miles,
being almost the exact size of Wasco
County, Oregon. By the last census
there were 32,127 persons residing in
the county, while in Wasco County
there were 16,336. Yet there are 20
acres of open farming land in Wasco
County for every single acre in Lewis
County. In fact practically three
quarters of this county is either in
timber or in stumps.
Lewis is a long, narrow county. It
runs from a point due north of the east
line of Clatsop County, Oregon, to a
point in the summit of the Cascades
due north of The Dalles, a distance of
100 miles, but is only 27 miles wide
from north to south. In timber it is a
very wealthy county and the cutting
and marketing of a large amount of
this timber has contributed largely to
Its growth and prosperity. But in the
course of time the minerals lying in
and contiguous to the base of Mount
Rainier and the coal of that regien
will be tremendous sources of wealth,
particularly from the large deposits of
cinnabar ore, from which quicksilver is
extracted. There is also a vein of the
best anthracite coal in that section
that is found west of Pennsylvania.
Railroad Mileage Large.
Lewis County has been fortunate In
having a large railroad mileage with
in Its borders, the O.-W. R. & N.. the
Northern Pacific and the Milwaukee
crossing the county and the Great
NorJiern operating trains over the
Joint line of the two former roads.
Then the Grays Harbor and the Willapa
Harbor branches run out to the Pacific
from here. Aside from these is the
traction road between here and Cen
tralia and the new railroad running
from here in an easterly direction for
about 20 miles. This road, called the
Cowlitz, Chehalis & Cascade, was built
for the first 10 miles by the citizens of
Chehalis. It was then taken over by
Seattle capital and extended and Is now
doing a splendid business as far east
as Onalaska. It will be gradually ex
tended and in time it is expected to
reach Mount Rainier. What it will
then mean to the agricultural and tim
ber and coa interests of the county,
and more particularly to Chehalis. is
past comprehension. It has already
opened up a lot of fine farming land
and will open a great amount more
within the next year or two.
One thing that has brought Lewis
County forward rapidly is the growth
of the dairy business and the education
of the dairymen. There are more than
100 breeders of registered or purebred
livestock ' the county at the present
time, most of whom specialize in Hoi
stein, Jersey or Guernsey cattle. There
is now an 800-pound cow in the county,
1. e., a cow that made 800 pounds of
butter last year. That statement is a
little wild, for the cow did not actually
churn the butter, but' the reader will
understand the statement.
Cannery Well Equipped.
Three . years ago the enterprising
citizens of Chehalis undertook to build
a cannery here to be used for canning
fruits and vegetables, and they erected
one of the largest and best-equipped
plants In the Northwest. The ubiqui
tous Dan Bush was and still Is at the
head of the venture. The first year
they were late and only put up some
4000 worth of stuff; in 1913 this was
raised to .10,000 and last year leaped
to $42,000. This year Dan has got his
stakes set for an output in excess of
S100.000.
It must be remembered that the com
pany has had to educate the people on
the farms to raise the fruit and vege
tables for the plant, which has been a
difficult task, but great strides have
been made. Greater by far are to be
made this year. Already the matter
lias been taken up by the public schools
and nearly every boy and girl old
enough to handle ' a hoe will have a
patch of large or small dimensions
planted this year. Prizes have been
offered to both the older and younger
pupils and an active campaign is now
on to get everybody, business men and
farmers, millmen. lawyers, doctors and
preachers. Interested, and the county is
being covered with literature, all of
which interests the young folks and
their parents and all will win a prize!
Those who get the big stakes will fare
best, but everything grown will be
paid for at top price, so no one can
possibly lose.
Products Declared Excellent.
One thing that has been of inesti
mable help to this concern is the fact
thst their products are of iMich a fine
CONSTANT HEADACHES
, People with thin blood are much mora
'subject to headaches than full-blooded
persons and the form of anemia that af
xlicts growing girla ia almost always ac
companied by headache together with
digestive disturbances and constipation,
i Whenever you have constant or re
curring headaches and pallor of the
face they show that the blood is thin and
your efforts should be directed towards
building up your blood. A treatment4
with Dr. Williams' rink I'liis win ao

will remove the headache.
, More disturbances to health are
caused by thin blood than you have any
idea of. When the blood is impover

nourishment and you may have in

Muscles subject to strain are under
nourished and you may have muscular
rheumatism or lumbago. If your blood
is thin and you begin to show symp

quality that there is no trouble what
ever in selling every can of fruit or
vegetables they put up even before the
goods are packed. I have tested many of
their products and have interviewed
many others who have done the same,
and surely their products are anyhow
equal to tne best on the market.
If the reader will stop a moment to
think what it will mean this year to
have some $80,000 distributed among
the young folks of the county for the
stuff they produce and to the young
people or the town for their work- in
the cannery. It will be seen 'that this
enterprise is one of the big things of
the Northwest. Remember It is yet
In Its Infancy. Eventually It will be an
aii-year plant, running every day in
the year, for such products as the pur
veyors of the 67 varieties put up will
all be turned out by the Lewis County
Canning Company and of Just as good
quality as anybody else ever placed on
tne market.
Always the Citizens' Club of Cheha
lis has been a power for good In the
county. Dan Bush Is president and the
club has recently taken a wise action
In securing Paul H. Dupertius as sec
retary. Paul Is a young man. son of
one of the hard-working and enterpris
ing farmers of the county, the man who
made such advances in the art of char'
pitting stumps. Paul graduated at the
agricultural college at Puyallup, where
he specialized In animal husbandry,
The county has no agricultural agent,
but Paul will stand for all that such
agents do with the farmers. That Is to
be bis chief duty, to be friend, neigh
bor, counsellor . and adviser to the
farmers. To my mind this is about the
finest work any club of any city ever
started out to ao in any section of the
country.

bank reports of Chehalis. The old

FRANK PR0PSJDIES AT 84
Pioneer of 1852 Succumbs at Home
of Daughter in Albany.
A LB ANT, Or.. March 29. (Special.)
Frank Propst, Oregon pioneer of
1852 and a resident of Linn County
for more than three-score years, died
today at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. T. E. Riley. In this city, aged al
most 85 years. Born in West Virginia,
he moved with his parents to Illinois
when a child and at the age of 20 years
crossed the plains to Oregon. He set
tled tin Linn County and resided con
tinuously since that time In the vicin
ity of Albany.
He Is survived by six children: Mrs.
Thomas E. Riley, Mrs. Maria Miller
and A. G. Propst, of Albany: Leighton
Propst and Mrs. F. C. Butler, of Leb
anon, and Henry Propst. of Grand
SEATTLE. Wash, March 29. The
first shots In the Everett battle of
November 5. 1916. were fired by Thomas
ri. Tracy, according to the testimony
today of William H. Bridge, a regular
Deputy Sheriff of Snohomish County.
and Walter H. Smith, a citizen deputy.
Tracy, who Is being tried on a charge
of having murdered Jefferson Beard, a
ucputy snerirf, was one of a party of
L W. W. members which went to Ev
erett on November 6 on a "free-speech"
trip. Beard was one of the men killed
In a clash with a number of Denutv
Sheriffs at the Everett city dock.
Bridge, who said that ha was stand
ing only a few feet to the left of
Sheriff McRae, on the dock, when the
Dattie started, declared that he saw
Tracy stretch his arm through a win
dow fn the side of the Verona passen
ger cabin and fire three shots In his
direction.
Smith said that he was standlnsr a
short distance back of these two, and
was also able to make out Tracv'a face.
Smith's Identification of the defendant
took the form of an exclamation, "Why,
it was that man right there." as Tracy
oMgingly arose to make the witness'
scrutiny easier.
Promise of Trouble Reported.
Attorney" George Vanderveer, on his
cross-examination of the two witnesses,
made them both publicate as nearly as
possible the position In which they
saw the man in the window. Bridge,
when he had heard a portion of what
was alleged to be a transcript of tes
timony taken at the Coroner's Inquest
the day after the fight, in which Bridge
answered in the negative to a ques
tion whether he could recognize the
man who was firing rrom the cabin
window, he said that he didn't remem
ber having so replied.
Previous to these witnesses. Leo
Wagner, "who said that he was engaged
in making skirt hangers, said that he
had been unable to get aboard the
steamer Verona on November 6 and
that after he, and a large number of
others, had gone from the Colman dock
to a near-by dock, to get aboard the
Calista. also bound for Everett, he
overheard a man wearing an L W. W.
button say: "If we don't have free
speech In Everett today, there's going
to be a little trouble," and that an
other said that the "boys were pretty
well armed."
State Finances Witness.
Wagner was subjected to a merciless
cross-examination, during which he
answered his questions hesitatingly,
and was frequently confused, display
ing considerable uncertainty on the
main points of his direct testimony.
He admitted that he had been working
at his present occupation only a short
time, that he had left Monroe, Wash.,
on money Bent him by H. D. Cooley,
one of counsel for the state, had re
ceived a few dollars from him since,
and that he had had several confer
ences concerning the events of Novem
ber 5 with representatives of the pros
ecution. S. A. Mann, a former police codrt
Judge of Spokane, was on the stand
when court adjourned for the day. The
prosecution announced that he was be
ing introduced to describe conditions In
Spokane during 1909-10-11, during
which the city had troubles with the
L W. W., and John T. Sullivan, acting !
chief of police, was assassinated, in
order to show what had been meant by
declarations uttered to the Mayor of
Everett, the Sheriff and others, that
free speeoh fights had cost Spokane
$250,000 and a chief of police.
Charles Auspos, an Industrial Work
er of the World, testified today that
when he was first interviewed by
George F. Vanderveer. associate coun
sel for Tracy, he was practically told
to say the first shots In the battle
came from the wharf.
"What did Vanderveer ask you at
that time?" asked H. D. . Cooley, as
sistant prosecuting attorney. Witness
replied:
"He didn't ask me any question, he
simply said: "You didn't see any Bhoot
ing from the boat and the men on the
wharf shot first.'"
Witness refused to admit on eross
exam'natlon that Vanderveer had told
him to tell the truth.
Wise will be In charge. Burial will be
at Beth Israel Cemetery. The body ar
rived last night from Chicago, where
Mr. Frank died Monday following an
operation.
Honorary pallbearers are: William
W. Banks, A. E. McAlpin, Alma ICatz,

At present Jitneys do not furnish
bonds, and persons injured have no

PHILOMATH IS INDIGNANT
RULINO THAT BARS TEAM FROM
DEBATES IS RESENTED.
Mass Meeting Considers' Committee Un
just In Decision and Orders Foil
Investigation Be Made.
PHILOMATH, Or., March 29. (Spe
cial.) A mass meeting of citizens was
held at the High School last night to
express indignation over the ruling of
the executive committee of the Oregon
High School Debating League which
bars the Philomath team from a debate
with SUverton.
The committee based Its reason for
this ruling on evidence submitted by
SUverton to the effect that W. G.
Fisher, resident of Philomath, visited
SUverton and attended the recent Sll-verton-Seaslde
debate in progress there,
asserting that Fisher was connected
with Philomath and acted as coach,
which was contrary to the rules of the
debating league.
Philomath produced evidence taken
under affidavit, that Fisher was in no
way connected with Philomath de
bating team, nor had been for several
months. The team did not know of
Fisher's visit to SUverton nor did Mr.
Glass, Its coach. The citizens are in
dignant over what they feel to be un
just insinuation concerning Professor
Glass.
It is the desire of Coach Glass and
the team that no ill-feeling be aroused.
Residents of Philomath are making
thorough Investigation of the case.

Operating expense Is not the only
reason Dr. McKay gives for the change.
He Is convinced that the duties of
superintendent of the farm require a
man.
"There are about Z60 men and ZD
women on the farm," said Dr. McKay
yesterday. "Fights among the men
are bound to occur. There have been
two snich since I took office. I was
out there one time, found Mra. Slnglo

separate two men who were fighting.
"Mr. Holman's attitude In opposing
the appointment of Mr. Peterson is not
consistent. When I first took up the
office he Insisted upon the discharge of
Mrs. A B. Y. Spalding as superintend
ent of the County Hospital, and the
appointment of a friend. Miss Gertrude

complaints against Mrs. Spauldlng's
