Hooab Retard Work. .
Roach seas have kept th trollan
from operating- on tho bar. and It has
been but recently that these men have
began to compensate tberaselTea for
their efforts. To date casualties have
keen few. and although deaths by
drowninr have been rumored they have
orored aroundlesa. The Point Adama
and North Head life-saving crews have
been exceptionally watchful, and It has
In lara-e meaaure been due to tne serv
ires of Captain TVIcklund and his men
that mora than on swamped boat has
been towed to safety.
According to old-timers In th sjlll
r rame. tha hauls for this year will
not ba rated above average. A clear
water, they say. haa kept th salmon
leading around thetr neta Instead of
attempting- to break through. The lat
ter process Is fatal. On th other
band, a seiner and bis styl of angling
demands clear water, for a leading
salmon soon Is trapped and flopping
on th beach.
A new activity, th purs seine, has
been enjoying a successful season. This
morning three boata drifting up and
down In front of th Island landed fair
hauls, and It haa been eatlmatad that
one of them stored away three tone In
one drive.
Seattle and the waters of Puget

of IS men. Is on the verge of 300 tons.,
and with but I daya more to work
they are sure to total over this mark.
Tomorrow being Sunday. In accord

the Immigrants were six months

I They went to San Francisco and
I thence to Portland, where Mr.

f He moved from there to Roa

He Is survived by on son.
I William O. Keys, and two daugh
I tars. AHsa A. and Mary O. Keys.
according to the degree to which they
have developed measures to cut down
sccldent hazard, is proposed to tbe
Washington Industrial Insurance Com
mission, with the backing of the state
labor department.
The commission has gone so far In
the matter as to take up the question
with lumbermen, with the view o
navlng them co-operate In Initiating
the plan.
Commissioner A. B. Ernst has a plan
under which the lumber association It
self would classify its own mills and
plants and adopt merit ratings. Private
casualty Insurance companies have
taken up the system in various parts
ot tne united states:
Accident Haaard Rated as Baala.
"The new merit rating system is
based entirely on the accident hazard
In the plants Insured, ss fire Insurance
rates are based on the fire hazard, says
a statement issued by the office o
State Labor Commissioner Edward W,
Olson.
"The plants In a given industry are
divided into four classes, the first in
eluding those In which every effort is
exerted to prevent accidents and which,
therefore, pay ' the lowest rates; the
second class pays a little higher rate.
and so on to the fourth class, which
pays the highest rate of all. A plant
may be advanced from one claaa to
another, according to the Improvements
It-makes towards reducing its accident
hazard.
"The adoption of the merit rating
system would give a wonderful impetus
to the safety movement In this state.
an impetus that would be rewarded, not
merely In a financial way in the re'
duction of Insurance premiums, but
chiefly and certainly far more im
portant to workmen and society in a
wonderful reduction In the number of
accidents."
Need ef Kagloeer Foreseen.
Industrial Commissioner Ernst says:
"Tbe merit plsn of course would
necessitate the employment by the com
mission of an efficiency engineer, who
would' Investigate the Industries of the
state and collect data for hearings
with the employers. After these hear
Incs the merit classifications could be
made. This would be an expensive
procedure.
"The plan has been discussed with
employers under which their aseocla
tlons. say In the lumbering industry, for
example, would employ an efficiency
expert, and with the agreement of the
members of the association would clas
sify the plants and mills, the state
tatting no part.
'When the state levies on the lumber
industry under the plan It tells the as
soclatlon how much It wants to support
the insurance fund for a given period.
and tne association and Its expert de-
ctdee the rste each class must pay to
raise tne amount desired In premiums.
I am inclined to think this would
establish a workable merit rating plan,
perhaps as good as any the state Itself
could establish."

lation of Warrants Are Asked
Also by Arthur Gilfeather.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug;. 14. (Spe
claL) In a petition filed before Su
perior Court Commissioner Davison to
day, Arthur Gilfeather asks that cer
tain warrants Issued by the County
Commissioners be cancelled, others be
rejected, and a certain contract for
crulsins timber land set aside.
In the petition Mr. Gilfeather, who
is understood to represent several in
terested taxpayers, alleles that the
Pacific Timber Cruising; Company, of
Portland, waa organised March II,
1915. and Elwood Wiles elected presi
dent. A short time later this company
wss active in Clarke County and on
May (. this year, secured a contract
from the Clarke County Commissioners
to -cruise a portion of the land in tbe
northern part of Clarke County.
'Warranto Cashed, It Is Said.
The cruising; was to start in section
township 6, range 4, and be con
tinued until stopped by the county
Commissioners. It Is further alleged
hat two warrants aggregating; about
4400 have been issued ana casnea oy
Portland bank and are registered
in the treasurer's office here.
There is now a claim of I3S4.Zo be
fore the commissioners. The petitioner
asks to restrain the County Commls-
loners from allowing this claim, inn
he warrants already Issued be can
celled and that tho entire contract be
et aside. Mr. Davidson has granted
temporary restraining order agamsi
h Countv Commissioners. County
Treasurer. County Auditor, and other
county officials, holding the whole
proceeding up until septemDer o. wnen
a hearing will be had.
Authority la Questioned.
Tt la allea-ed that the County Com
missioners hare no legal right to have
the timber cruised this yesr, as timber
and Is real property and this can De
assessed legally only during the even
years. This Is an. odd year.
It Is- also held that the work was
not done according to contract, is not
accurate, and, In fact, some cruisers
were guessed at instead of being ac
curately made.
There .Is a deficiency in me iuna
from which this work was to nave
been paid for.
