Wages in Washington Rise
More Slowly.
FEW WORKMEN ARE IDLE
Report of Commissioner Shows
Fewer Industrial Disturbances,
Attributed to Organiration
of Labor and Capital.
OLYMFIA Wash.. Oct 2WSpecian
It is announced from the office of State
Labor Commissioner Charles F. Hubbard
that the fifth biennial report of the
Labor Bureau of Washington will soon
be ready for publication. The report will
contain .much information relative to
labor and industrial conditions in the
state and also valuable statistical data
covering the development of Washing
ton's manufacturing interests. The in
formation for the latter feature is secured
by the Deputy Factory Inspectors, whose
duties require them to. visit and inspect
practically all the manufacturing estab
lishments in the state. All the data thus
obtained during the 15 months the law
has been in effect will be presented in
properly tabulated form.
An excellent showing will be made of
new industries that have been estab
lished since January 1. 1915. Reports re
lating to his subject have been received
from 61 cities and towns, ' with reports
from Seattle and Tacoma yet to be in
cluded. New concerns to the number of
377 are reported with aggregate capital
of J4.133.S50 and giving employment to
4136 persons. These industries are grouped
as follows:
Lumber. 66: shingles. 26: beer. 3: brick,
6: electric power. 3: wagons and agricul
tural implements. 3: iron foundries and
machine shops, 6: wood products. 5: can
neries. 4; cigars. 7: butter and cheese. 7;
concrete blocks. 2; flour and feed, 5;
ice, 3; miscellaneous, 31.
A chapter of the book will be devoted
to an investigation of the cost of living
in Washington, together with such facts
as could be obtained relative to the vari
ation in wages in different lines of in
dustry. It is found that there has been
a marked increase in the cost of living
and the general rate of wages, although
the former is shown to have advanced
more rapidly than the latter.
The report will show a decrease in the
number of industrial disturbances in the
state as compared with former years.
This condition is attributed largely to
effective organization by both labor and
capital, resulting in greatly increased
mutual respect and to more general
recognition of the community of interest.
A compulsory arbitration law is recom
mended to the Legislature.
An interesting feature of the report
JOeals with accidents in manufacturing
Establishments. It was hoped by the
framers of the factory inspection law
'that the number of such accidents would
be reduced through its operation, and
"results 6eem to indicate then- expecta
tions were well grounded. Figures ob
tained from 57 of the largest mills in the
state, employing nearly 10.00f men. show
the first year the law was in effect there
was a decrease in the number of acci
dents as follows: Minor accidents. 31.7
per cent; serious accidents. 37.3 per cent:
fatal accidents. 15 per cent. Many of
the mills were not properly safeguarded
until months after the law went into
effect.
The general operation of the factory
law Is treated of in a lengthy chapter.
Over BOirt establishments have been in
spected and more than $16,000 collected
in inspection fees It is expected that
before the end of the two years the re
turns will equal the $20,000 appropriated
by the Legislature for carrying out the
act. That the law is giving widespread
satisfaction is indicated by the fact that
the great majority of manufacturers are
paying their fees and complying with the
other provisions of the act promptly, not
withstanding that the validity of the act
has been attacked in the courts, where
a decision is still pending. Some slight
alterations in the law will be recom
mended Statistics relative to labor unions and
wage-earners occupy considerable space

in the report, all tending to indicate that
there is comparatively little idleness in
the state and that labor is generally em
ployed at remunerative wages. In certain
lines of industry, particularly among the
the farmers of Eastern Washington, it
has been exceedingly difficult to fill the
demand for help. A number of wage
earners have submitted reports covering
hours of Eervice in different trades, wages
paid, annual savings and similar facts
which are shown in the report. Statistics
are presented also covering employes of

Portions of the report are devoted to
the various laws which come under the

WASTE OF SILVER SALMON
COOS BAY CANNERIES RTJN OUT
OF CANS.
ChinooV Fishermen Kill and Throw
Away Hundreds of the
Other Variety.
MARSHFIELD. Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.)
The run of silver salmon in Coos Bay
is larger than in any year since 1S70, ac
cording to statements made by old fish
ermen, and it was necessary for the can
nery at Empire City to close down for
a week on account of the supply of can
running short. The bay is fairly alive
with the silver beauties, and lovers of
trolling are enjoying great sport, as high
as 15 having been caught by one man in
four hours' time. N
The temporary closing down of the can
neries is looked upon as a boon by those
who desire to see the fish preserved. The
way the fish are running now they will
literally swarm into the spawning grounds
in the Coos. Coqullle and Umpqua
rivers, and owing to this fact they will do
more to propagate their species in a
natural way than the Government hatch
eries can do under the best of conditions.
Hundreds of silversides are destroyed
every night by fishermen who catch
Chinook salmon for the cold storage
plants. The silver salmon get into the
nets and are killed. Since the cannery
closed there is practically no market for
them and they are thrown overboard. As
the run of Chinook salmon is practically
over the wanton destruction of the
silver salmon is not approved of by con
servative fishermen.
"Some day ; those fishermen will wish
they had these fish," said one fisherman
in speaking of the matter.
Why Kyles Were Xot Arrested.
ASTORIA, Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.) The
reason the State Board of Fish Com
missioners has. not had Kyle & Sons ar
rested and prosecuted for operating a can
nery on the Siuslaw River without having
first secured a state license is now said
to be because the Siuslaw is in the same
judicial district as Rogue River and the
case if brought would be tried before
Judge Hamilton, who at the Hume trial,
declared the state law unconstitutional. It
is further stated by the officers in ex
planation, that the matter was discussed
by the board at its last meeting and the
board decided there was nothing it could
do under the circumstances excepting to
exercise the authority it has over the
hatchery operations.

THREE MONTHS' CLEAN-UP
Leo Peterson Is Granted Separation
From His Wife and the Cus
tody of Their Eleren-Year-Old
Child.
OREGON CITT. Or., Oct 20. (Special.)
Circuit Judge T. A. McBride's divorce,
department of the Clackamas County Cir
cuit Court worked overtime today, 21 di
vorces, representing a three months' in
cubation, being granted. Nothing in the
way of divorce business bad been trans
acted by Judge McBride since July 14, but
since that time the official court reporter,
C. E. Runyon. has been constantly en
gaged taking testimony in the numerous
cases that were referred to him. A ma
jority of the divorce decrees signed by
Judge McBride today was the result of
the taking of this testimony by the court
reporter.
In the divorce suit of Charlotte A. Pe
terson against Leo Peterson, editor of the
Commercial Review, of Portland, the
complaint of the wife was dismissed and
the husband was awarded a decree of di
vorce and the custody of the 11-year-old
child, the court maintaining that the
wife's allegations had not been supported
by the evidence, which did sustain the
defense and cross-complaint of the de
fendant. In filing her suit. Mrs. Peter
son charged her husband with repeatedly
striking and beating her. besides alleging
that at one time he forcibly took from
her a diamond ring of the value of $190.
The wife asked for $400 suit money and
the further sum of $5000 and $100 a
month permanent alimony. The decree
of the court is a complete victory for the
husband, the only concession made the
wife being to extend to her the privilege
of calling upon the child at reasonable in
tervals. Divorces were granted in the
following cases:
Annie Baxter vs. James Baxter, Albert M.

HYPNOTISM CUBES MADNESS
Percy Shinn Threatens to Kill Him
self and Doctor Makes Passes.
SPOKANE. Wash., Oct. 20. (Special.)
The successful treatment of suicidal
mania by hypnotism was the probable
salvation of Percy Shinn. a prominent
rancher living in Scotch Basin, near
Conconully. Shinn was seized with a de
sire to end his life and told his inten
tion to several friends. They paid little
attention to him until he was seen com
ing out of one of the stores In Conconully
with a bottle of laudanum. Then Shinn
threatened to throw himself in the lake.
Dr. J. F. Goggins made hypnotic passes
with his hands before Shinn's face, at
the same time suggesting that he close
his eyes and sleep. In less than three
minutes he was asleep.
"When you awake you will not wish to
kill yourself," the doctor said, and Shinn
is obeying.

BITTERS
An Unvarnished Statement
For Those Who Think !
If you are a pessimist and don't believe there are any honest business men
and that the country is going to the bowwows and everything else, you might as
well stop where you are. If on the other band, you take an optimistic view of
things and look on the brightest side of life and believe there are some honest
men left, then it will pay you to read this to the end.
If some one were to inform you that you could purchase shares in a company
controlling a monopoly, and which during the next twelve months would show big
dividends and keep on increasing year by year, and that within a period of four
years would be paying almost one hundred per cent, you would hardly credit it.
But that is just what I am going to offer you. Before you invest a dollar, how
ever. In the enterprise, I want you to make a thorough investigation of the same.
In fact, the more you investigate, the better satisfied I will be, for the larger will
be the amount which you will invest in the corporation.
I am the publisher of "Modern- Women" and have one of the finest pub
lishing plants in this country, paid for in cash at lowest cash prices, occupying
a seven story granite and brick building containing over 35,000 feet of floor space,
on the corner of Broad and Franklin Streets, devoted solely to my own product.
I have built this up in seven years, for seven years ago I did not have a dollar to
my name, in fact it is well known among the publishing fraternity, that I was
without food in this city where this magnificent publishing plant is now estab
lished. As a publisher I realized what labor saving machinery meant. In all
branches of the publishing business, from the linotype which is an automatic
type setter to the fast Web Printing Presses which turned out the matter at a
high Tate of speed, there was one department for which machinery had never
been invented to do away with hand labor, and that was the mailing depart
ment. Hundreds of thousands, yes, millions of dollars, have been spent trying
to -invent machines which would do the mailing, and which in a way is the
most important department of a publication, for after the product is once finish
ed it must be sent rapidly on its way and to a publication having a large circu
lation, it meant employing hundreds of hands, large amount of floor space, etc.
In my own plant, we employed ninety-three girls to address wrappers for the
magazine and they then wrapped them ready for the mails. About four years
ago there was brought to my attention a mailing machine. The inventor had a
crude model and I acquired his invention for a fortune. Not being a mechanic,
I was under the impression that all I would have to do would be to put in a
fine machine plant, make a few alteratiions in the model that publishers would
demand, and then turn out the machines in quantities. Little did I realize
that an inventor's model is one thing and a perfected machine another. For
four years I have devoted most of my time and risked over tl.000,000 to perfect this
machine. After perfecting the same, I did not go about it the way most inventors
do. that is. manufacture them in large Quantities and ship them broadcast
throughout the country. On the contrary I placed the first machine in my own
publishing plant and ran it there under my personal supervision, day in and day
out. for over one year. It stood every test. ' .
Some time ago, I formed the corporation which bears my full name. The
George Livingston Richards Company, with a paid up capital stock of $1,000,000.
divided into 100,000 shares of the par value of J10 each. This Company owns
the publication known as Modern Women, circulation over 400.000 monthly, and
they also acquired my controlling interest in the Agnew Auto-Mailing Machine
Companyi namely. 50.000 shares of the par value of 3S each. There has never '
been a' share of stock sold in the machine company by me for less than $25.
and it has commanded as high as $35, and even $40.per share.
The machine company owns one of the finest machine plants in this country,
although not the largest by any means.
Of course, every one knows what a successful publication Modern Women is,
and those who are interested can readily figure out what the machines save in
labor. In my own publishing plant it has permitted us to dispense with the
services of ninety-three girls, and we have two vacant floors, which speak
more eloquently than words as to what the machine has accomplished in the
saving of floor space. The machines are an absolute monoply, ana so thoroughly
protected are its patents that infringements are impossible, and so strong
are the vested rights that the Company Instead of selling the machines outright
have chosen the more brilliant policy of leasing them for terms of not less than
five years, the average rental amounting to about $S00 per year for each machine,
a rental of twenty cents per thousand copies being charged with a minimum
rental of $500 per annum, which minimum rental covers more than the cost of
production. . The enormous significance of this statement will be better under
stood when the cost of manufacture and erection is taken into consideration,
showing the almost unprecedented profit of 100 per cent, the first year of their
use in the establishments to which they are leased. Each succeeding year is
a clear gain, and as may be seen at once, so perfect is the construction that
the Company agrees to keep each and every machine in repair. The machine
feeds, folds, wraps, pastes, seals, addresses and distributes into mail bags any
publication, newspaper, magazine, pamphlet, catalogue or circular, all opera
tions being automatically performed in consecutive order at the rate of eighty
six per minute. So simple is the construction of this remarkable machine, and
so certain are its results, that two intelligent boys can safely operate it.
The other machine which the Company owns is a Sealing and Stamping
machine, which performs the work of twenty-four girls, its duties being to seal
and stamp envelopes, advertising cards, etc.. at the rate of eight thousand per
hour. This machine by a simple movement of the lever instantly seals enve
lopes without stamping, of if the operator sees fit. stamps without sealing.
The sealing and stamping machine is sold outright at a profit which nets the
Company over one hundred per eett. of the cost of manufacturing and selling.
Besides this, the Company owns an addressing machine, which addresses
envelopes, etc.. and a stencil cutting machine to cut the stencils used by both
the mailing and the addressing machines.
The Agnew 'Auto-Mailing Machine Company owns the patent rights for
United States ana Canada for all these machines.
For the Auto-Mailing Machine it is estimated there is a demand in this coun
try for four thousand, and for the sealing and stamping machine a demand
for at least twenty-five thousand, for the addressing machine ten thousand, for
the stencil cutting machine ten thousand, and besides that the Company will
be selling to the users of these machines an average of five hundred million
blank stencils annually.
The following tables give you an idea of what the Company Is capable of
earning and proves most conclusively that no matter how the subject is dis
cussed, no matter how unfavorably the prospective investor chooses to view it,
the fact remains that a satisfactory profit cannot fail to accrue.
The Agnew Auto-Mailing Machine Company is capitalized for $3,000.000, , all
divided into Common Stock, of which $2,265,500 has been issued. Now if four
thousand auto-mailing machines were rented annually at an average of $900 each,
that would be $3,200,000.

Rhonlmus Goes Several Days With
Wounds Not Bandaged.
PENDLETON. Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.)
A. D. Rhonlmus, the slayer of Tom
Myers, was brought to Pendleton this
evening by Deputy Sheriff Joe Biakeley
and Dr. McFaul. Though the shooting
affray in which Myers lost his life oc
curred last Thursday, Rhonimus, who is
nearly 80 years of age, did not have his
wound attended to until this forenoon,
when the Deputy Sheriff returned to the
mountain ranch with the physician.
The bullet only made a bad flesh wound
in the thigh, and as the old man has
been accustomed to every hardship and
is a game old fellow, the doctor thinks
he will be all right in a few days. He
stood the long, hard trip down from the
mountain remarkably well, and as he re
fused absolutely to be taken to the hos

Courthouse, where he will be under the
care of the officers.
Myers' body will be shipped to Athena
for burial tomorrow morning.
NORTH COAST INITIATES STJTT
Demands Right From Northern Pa
cific at North Yakima.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., Oct. 20
(Special.) The North Coast Railway
today commenced condemnation pro
ceedings against the Northern Pacific
for a right of way across a 20-acre
tract at the south end of SelaH street,
this city, for a right of way through
Union Gap. five miles below here, and
for a grade-crossing at the Parker Sid
ing on the Yakima Indian reservation.
The suit today is the result of the fail
ure of the representatives of both com
panies to come together on an agree
ment. The Northern Pacific refused abso
lutely to permit the North Coast to
cross the 20 acres, but it agreed to give
a right of way through Union Gap.
providing the North Coast would build
an overhead crossing at the Parker
Siding. The North Coast refused these
terms, and will now fight for its right
of way through the courts of the state.
The North Coast has grade of eight
miles of tracks in the lower end of the
valley, and the announcement was made
today that by April 1 the entire grade
would be completed from here to Spo
kane. Engineers are still working on
the route over, the Cascades to the
Sound.

Twenty-five thousand sealing and stamping machines at an average net profit
of $100 each, would be $2,500,000. Ten thousand addressing machines at an
average net profit of $35 each, would be $250,000. Ten thousand stencil-cutting
machines at an average net profit of $100 each, would be, $1,000,009. and five
hundred million blank stencils at an average net profit of forty-five cents per
thousand, would be $225,000. making a total of $7,175,000. Charge off ten per
cent wear and tear on the mailing machines, namely $33(.000. leaving a profit
of J6.S55.O0O, or over two hundred and twenty-eight per cent on the gross cap
italization of the mailing machine company.
The average man will call these figures those of a fanciful inventor, and
to guard against just such as these, I will cut those figures Into four parts and
we will say that only one thousand auto-mailing machines can be placed at
an average rental of $S00 per year, which would be $800,000. Six thousand two
hundred and fifty sealing and stamping machines at an average net profit of
$100 each, which would be $425,000. Twenty-five hundred addressing machines at
an average net profit of $25 each would be $62,500. Twenty-five hundred sten
cil cutting machines at an average net profit of $100 on each machine would
be $250,000. and one hundred and twenty-five million stencils at an average,
net profit of forty-five cents per thousand, would be $56,250. making & total
of $1,793,750. Charge off ten per cent, wear and tear on the mailing machines,
namely $80,000. leaving a profit of $1,713,750, or fifty-seven per cent on the gross
capital of the company.
No doubt the pessimist who does not believe anything is possible, and who
prefers to have his money draw three per cent interest In the savings bank,
will again question these figures and say they are those of a dreamer, and to
guard against such as these, I have again cut the figures into four parts, and
that is, if only two hundred and .fifty auto-mailing machines can be placed at
an average rental of $800 each, which would be $200,000. One thousand five hun
dred and sixty-two sealing and stamping machines at an average net profit
of $100 on each machine, which would be $156,200. Six hundred and twenty
five addressing machines at an average net profit of $25 each, making $15,626.
Six hundred and twenty-five stencil cutting machines at an average net profit
of $100 each, making $62,500, and that thirty-one million two hundred and fifty
thousand blank stencils at an average
sand, which would be $14,062, making a
wear and tear on the mailing machines,
teen per cent on the gross capitalization of the company.
Tou can again cut these figures in two and still get more profits than the
savings banks or bonds pay, but those figures in themselves would prove
ridiculous the same as the statement figuring only two hundred and fifty
auto-mailing machines on rental.
Now we will take it for granted that the latter statement whloh I made is
the only one which could be carried out, that is. the statement which shows
fourteen per cent on the gross capitalization of the mailing machine company
and over twenty per cent on the capital which is outstanding.
If it only paid ten per cent The George Livingston Richards Company
alone would receive in dividends $125,000 every year on their own stock hold
ings in the machine company, not counting the dividends which will be received
from the publication, and which this year I believe will show a profit of at
least $125,000, and which, like old wine, increases in value as the years go
on, and this not only holds good as regards the good-will of the property,
but also the earning power.
This, in brief, shows all possible aspects of the situation. Remember tlie
publication is not an experiment, neither is the machine company; both are
going concerns. The machine company Is shipping machines as fast as they
can manufacture them under present conditions, but what we need is a very
large plant outside of the city where .we can have our own foundry: in other
words, a plant capable of taking care of 1000 workmen, hence this stock offer
ing; if it was not for this you could not buy a single share. The newspapers
call them the "machine with the brain," and rightly so, for they do every
thing in their line but talk. (
In conclusion all I can say is. that the above is an unvarnished statement;
and I would be pleased to have any one investigate thoroughly every state
ment which I have made, for I am quite sure that if they did so their, in
vestment would be limited only by their means.
If this investment is good enough 'for Bankers. Bank Presidents,
Bank Cashiers, Millionaire Merchants and Manufacturers, Army Offi
cers. Postmasters. Lawyers. Physicians. Clerks, etc.. it ought to be
good enough for anyone, and we number this class of people right now
. among our shareholders, who only invested after a thorough investi
gation both as to the company's Btanding and my own personal integrity.
Bradstxeets, one of the leading and largest commercial credit
agencies, in their rating book gives these companies the highest com
mercial credit rating. References if requested will be furnished front
bankers and well-known business men.
Tou can acquire these shares at the present time fnr $10 each as long as
they last. After thev are gone, you will find it verv difficult to obtain shares
at any reasonable figure, for they are all closely held and bought by people
who realize their worth and who are looking for an Income in after years.
If it were not for the fact that I had promised the publishers who are now
using the mailing machines outside of "Modern Women" that I would not divulge
their names on account of their being subjected to annoyance by people who
contemplate Investing. I would gladly publish them here, but as I stated above,
every statement which I have made can be verified.
Make' all checks, drafts, etc, payable to the order of The George
Livingston Richards Co., and I will send you a fully-paid and non-assessable
stock certificate.
