Offering Inducements.
To give some idea how other towns are
trying to foster industries, this is a cri­
terion, the offer being sent to the Port­
land Chamber of Commerce :
“The town of St. Helens offers a five-
acre tract directly on the Columbia river,
with deep water frontage, tn any reliable
person or company wishing to erect a
saw mill or sash, door and blind factory.
The advantages of location need no com­
ment, being in the midst of vast timber
belts.”
Only a few weeks ago a mill man was
in Tillamook looking for a mill site, and
one was offered him for $2,000. W hich
of the two places are likely to get a saw
mill ? St. Helens is alive to the situation
and fully cognizant of the fact that to
bring new industries into the town the
jieople must pull together and offer in
ducements.
Tillamook City has everything to gain
and nothing to loose by making an effort
in the same direction. It is easy enough
to talk about bonding the citv for a big
amount of motley, but that will become
a burden to the city if a manufacturing
center should spring up elsewhere, as pro­
bably it will unless Tillamook City
exerts herself. Don’t bark up the wrong
tree, for the first thing, in our judgment,
is to endedvor to make Tillamook City
the manufacturing center and not load
it down with taxation.
ac­
for
good people they have come here freely
from Europe. Besides, in most foreign
countries during the last year or two
there has been industrial depression,
which of course stimulated emigration
from those countries and the United
States offered the best invitation, in the
opportunities and the higher price of
labor. It seems that this large immi­
gration has been fully absorbed and
provided for. There is no complaint
anywhere of great excess of labor and
it is quite probable that in portions of
the country it will soon be found that
the demand for labor exceeds the supply.
There is a vast amount of work to be
done the coming Spring and summer
that calles for such workers as are com­
ing from Europe and there is no doubt
they will all find abundant employment.
It may be true that some of these immi­
grants are not of the most desirable
class, but there is a demand for the un­
skilled labor which could not be met
if the advocates of restriction could have
their way._________________

BENSON
IN
JAIL.
Murderer is Captured Near Olym­
pia—He Offers no Resistance.
O lympia , Wash., March 7.—Christ
Benson, the murderer of Jailer M orrell,
was captured to night two miles west
of town, and is now safely lodged in the
Conu-
steel cage of the Thurston
ty Jail. A half-dozen armed men pa t rol
the jail grounds, and a deputy with a
Winchester stands at the head of the
narrow stairway leading to the seco nd
floor, where the steel cage is, and ad
mits no one to the foot of the steps. At
this hour, 9.-30, a large crowd of men
surrounds the jail, and there are fre­
quent yells of “Hang him I”
The first news of Benson’s appearance
west of town was telephoned to the
Sheriff’s office late this evening. The
first message was so jumbled that Deputy
Faylor, who answered the telephone,
did not understand its importance, and
left for the locality alone. He reached
the west side of town, and met a man
coming on horseback, who «told the
news secretly. The deputy stopped only
long enough to get Sheriff Mills, and
with the team on the run they soon
reached a deserted cabin in which it was
said Benson was located, and which was
surrounded by five woodchoppers. Fay­
lor was stationed at the window’ where
Benson had broken into the cabin, and
Sheriff Mills stood at the front door
with a double-barreled shotgun in hand.
