facture la the chief problem of airplane
sprnce production, according; to the re
port of a committee of the lioquiam
Commercial Club appointed to inveetl
Cate means of helping; speed ap output
and thereby assist the Government In
carrying out Its aircraft procramme.
Aa a result of Ita findings the commit
tee la advocating the extension of the
Northern Pacific Hallway- beach line,
which runs from here to Moclipa. on to
the Queet River, a distance of :5 miles.
Thla would open a large body of air
plane spruce not accessible because ot
lack of transportation.
The committee atatea Its Inrrstlfa
tlon haa shown there la no lack of man
ufacturing; facilities, but there ia an In
ability to aerure logs aa fast aa they
can be handled by the mills, or fast
enough to meet the needs. In addition
the else of the aircraft programme aoon
will demand new tracta of spruce not
now accessible and which will not be
made accessible by railways now pro
jected. The extension of the Northern
Faclfle would tap the large spruce belt
on the Quests and Clearwater River
valleys, eattmated at between 200,000,
060 and ISO. 000.000 feet suitable for air
plane manufacture. The Queeta dis
trict spruce belt la on of the largest
on the Olympic Peninsula, according; to
report by tinibermen and cruisers.

cally double the amount first asked. At
the close of the Sunday morning serv
ice at the First Christian Church the
congregation, in addition to subscribing

JURY PROBE IS DENIED
JfDGE KAVANAl'GH DECIDES
AGAINST INVESTIGATION.
Score of Men en Circuit Court Panel
Denounced as "Undesirable" Are
Quietly Dismissed.
Efforts on the part of Attorney Coy
Burnett to procure the names of the
score of "undesiraible" Jurors on the
present Circuit Court panel met with
failure yesterday when Circuit Judge
Kavanaugb. declined to institute an
original Investigation.
It was learned, however, that a num
ber of those who a week ago were
publicly denounced as being undesir
able have been quietly dismissed for
the rest of the term, leaving nearly
all of those remaining above the shad
ow of suspicion.
The one exception In Judge Kava
naugh's court was Juror Ira Klm-
mons, who was aiscnargea eome time
ago by Assessor Reed for failure to
sign the oath of allegiance and for
other charges involving his patriotism.
Kimmins was excused on a challenge
issued yesterday by Mr. Burnett.
The case being tried before Judge
Kavanaughi is one in which Robert
Wakefield is seeking to recover S20,-
000 from Joseph Supple for an alleged
breach of contract in the rurnlsning
of steel material for the construction
of two Government barges several
years ago. The case is up for retrial,
having been remanded by the Supreme
Court after the plaintiff Won a Judg
ment at the first trial.
