Edgar J. Wright, o€w%e\riew,
one of the outstanding Vintners of
the state and pioneer of Wash-
ington’s fast-growing wine indus—
try, was re-elected president of
the Washington Wine Council at
that organization’s annual meet-
ing, held recently in Seattle.
Other officers of the Council
re-elected were: vice-president, J.
C. Sams. manager, National Wine
Company, Seattle; treasurer, Otis
B. Harlan, Washingtdn‘ Distiller-
ies, Seattle; and the board of di-v

Connoisseur Wineries, Seattle.
Wright's plant is located on.
Stretch Island, in Mason County,
where in 1872 the first grapevine
was set out in the Northwest.
Last year Washington’s wineries
used not only 8,358,000 pounds of
grapes, but 11,822,000 pounds of
other Washington fruits— apples.
loganberries, currants, blackber-
ries, cherries and other wine fruits
—to produce 1,854,000 gallons of
Washington wine.
Home Labor, Products Entirely
By legislative enactment, Wash-
ington wineries are permitted to
use only Washington fruits and
Washington labor in the produc-
tion of “Washington” wines.
Progress of the wine-making in-
dustry in Washington, as it_ ap-
proaches its fifth anniversary
next month, was hailed by Wright
as “exceptionally good" at the
meeting.
“Last year, for the first time,
Washington wines outsold all out-
-of-state and foreign wines in state
sales," Wright declared. “For an
industry that was virtually non-
existent five years ago, this marks‘

State Testers
For Cars Start
55-Day Schedule
Testing equipment of the state
highway department was in Shel-
ton at the city dock station yes-
terday and today and will be
again tomorrow under a new
schedule to start the 1941 car
testing program;
The state testers will return
here in two weeks, February 17.
18 and 19, while the same dates
in March, 3, 4 and 5, and 17, 18
and 19, will also find the testers
back again. The testing station
will be open from eight until noon
and from one to five each of
those days. The state testers are
now operating a shuttle schedule
among the communities of Shel-
ton, Bremerton, Port Angeles and
Port Townsend covering two
week periods.
Cars which failed to go thru
the state test in 1940 are request-
ed to be brought in first for the
1941 test, but any car will be
tested whether it has the 1940
seal or not.

President,I
funds necessary to complete the
last two blocks of the Railroad
Avenue beautification project this
ispring will be made by the Shel-
ton Garden Club, sponsors of the
.....under.taking, I, Mrsu Vassar-get
Cropper, club president, announc-
ed today.
The club now has $200 in” its
treasury to put into the project
but $800 will be necessary to
complete the planting and install
an adequate sprinkling system,
Mrs. Cropper pointed out.
Two events are planned for
this month to swell the fund. One
will be sponsorship in cooperation
with the city basketball league of
the exhibition basketball game on
February 18 which the All-Ameri-
can Red Heads, premier touring
girls basketball team, will play
against the Shelton town team.
Net proceeds of the game will
be divided equally by the Garden
Club and the city basketball
lleague, which booked the famous
feminine hoopsters as a means of
raising funds to pay its rent bill
at the gym but offered to share
receipts with the Garden Club to
help the beautification project
along. The Garden Club will con-
duct an advance ticket sale for
the game, Mrs. Cropper said.
lGarden. Club Embarks 0n
Beautification Fund Drivel
Second event on the fund—rais-
ing program by the Garden Club
will be a big public bridge lunch-
eon to be given during the week
‘of Washington’s birthday in Mem-
orial Hall. An exact date for the
event will bevselected' later, Mrs.
Cropper said. Committees to ar-
range details of the bridge lunch-
eon, as well as the basketball
ticket sales committee, will be
available for announcement in
Thursday’s Journal, Mrs. Cropper
promised.
Later in the spring a dance is
planned by the Garden Club and
other events to complete the beau—
tification project fund will be ar~
ranged. In the meantime, all do-
nations which individuals or or-
ganizations may feel inclined to
make to the fund will be greatly
appreciated, Mrs. Cropper stated.
“Raising the additional money
which‘we need to complete our
fund means a great deal of work
for our organization, so any as-
sistance we receive from other or-
ganizations and individuals will
be. helping to wind up a very worth
while work.” the Garden Club
president explained. “We want
to complete the project this spring
so the first two blocks won’t get
too great a head start on these
last two."
LUMBERING NOT DESTRUCTIVE
INDUSTRY, ANSWERS EXECUTIVE
Tacoma, Jan. 31. -* “Is the
Lumber Industry Prepared to
Meet the Challenge of 1941 ?” On
this subject President Corydon
Wagner of the West Coast Lum-
bermen’s Association addressed
WCLA members in their Annual
Meeting at Tacoma this morning.
Reminding the lumbermen that
Paul Bunyan, and not Caspar
Milquetoast, was their patron
saint, he urged them to face their
public relations and trade prob—
lems in the year ahead with their
“traditional” enterpriSe, courage
and perseverance." In this spirit
President Wagner cited criticisms
which have been directed against
the industry, with vast publicity,
in recent months, and answered
them.
The Association,head dealt at
greatest length with the endlessly
repeated charge that lumbering is
a destructive industry. The most
effective answer to this charge,
he said, is in the findings of the
U. S. Forest Service's recently
completed Forest Survey.
“Its particular value,” Mr. Wag—
ner said, “lies in the putting to
rest of the timeworn bogey of an
imminent timber famine. With
particular reference to our Doug-
las fir forests, it concludes that
lands now cut are producing
growth equal to. one-half the
present drain, but that when the
stagnant mature forests have been
harvested and there is additional
growth per acre on all the area
equal to the average growth on
cutover lands today, the future to-
tal growth will exceed total drain
by four per cent . . .
“Our industry has by no means
finished its job of reforestation
but it has made a good beginning.
.The greatest stimulation that can
come to the business of growing
new forests is to make that busi-
ness profitable;
more intensive utilization of new
markets for our forest prod-
ucts . . .
“The challenge of 1941 is to
return the lumber industry to its
proper place in the esteem of the
American people . . . It involves
rebuilding confidence in our prod-
ucts, in the future of our industry,
and in the spirit of private enter~
prise.”
Skokomish Indian,
80, Dies Sunday
Edward J. Smith, 80-year-old
Skokomish Indian Reservation
resident, was buried Monday af-
ternoon after funeral services con-
ducted from the reservation
church. He died at his home on
the reservation Sunday after an
extended illness.
Surviving are his widow, Ka-
therine, two sons, John and A1-
bert, living on the Skokomish res-
ervation; and one daughter, Mrs.
Margaret Robels of Los Angeles.
Mr. Smith was born in April,
1861, at Copalis Beach, Wash. He
had resided on the Skokomish
Reservation for the past three
years.
Firemen Douse Blaze
At Their Chief’s Home
City volunteer firemen who an-
swered an alarm last night dis-
covered they had been called to
the home of their chief, Dean Car-
men, to douse a chimney blaze
when they arrived at 1233 Frank-
lin street. '
The residence is occupied by
Frank G. Russell, furniture store
salesman. No damage to the house
and that means was done.

DISTRIBUTID
Despite Population Gain Here De-
crease Comes Because Of
Greater Rural Growth.
In State
l
Although Mason County rural
population gained over 1000 be-
tween 1930 and 1940, by an odd
quirk of figures liquor profit ap-
portionments to be paid to the
county treasurer by the state liq-
uor control board will be less un-
der the 1940 population figures
than they were under the 1930
figures.
A letter explaining the unusual
situation was sent to Deputy
Treasurer Nolan Mason by Liquor
Board Chairman L. E. Gregory
in response to an inquiry made by
Mason on the subject.
The letter pointed out that al-
though the rural Mason County
population had jumped from 6869
in 1930 to 7896 in 1940, the gain
in rural areas throughout the
state had been even greater in
proportion, or from 537,870 to
666,328 in the ten-year period.
Thus where the per capita share
[of liquor profits allotted to coun-
.ties had been $0.120847 under 1930
census figures, or $842.19 to Ma-
son County of each $500,000 “mel-
on” sliced up, now the per capita
Share is only $0.0975495, or $770.25
to Mason County on each $500,000
split, or a decrease of $47.42 over
previous cuts.
Liquor profits are divided in
this fashion: 52 percent to the
cities, 35 percent to the state, and
13 percent to the counties, the
letter pointed out. Thus out of
each $500,000 split, the counties
divide approximately $65,000.
In the case of the cities, as was
pointed out last week, Shelton en-
joys a substantial gain in its liq-
uor tax apportionments under
1940 population figures, this be-
ing due to the fact that while
Shelton showed a population gain
the 1940 census showed a drop in
urban populations throughout the
Istate as a whole. As a result
:Shelton will receive $141.39 more
on each $500,000 liquor profit di-
vision than it did under the 1930
population figures, so weighing
one against the other, Shelton’s
gain against the county's loss, as'
a whole this community benefits.

WEBB BACKED
BY SP‘DRTSMEN
FOR GAME POST
Nlason County Man Supported To
Fill Vacancy Now In State
Commission From
Peninsula
If power of persuasion can help
him, Tom Webb, former Mason
County commissioner and a prom-
inent Republican wheelhorse lo-
cally, may be the next member of
the state game commission from
the Olympic Peninsula district.
Support of the Hood Canal
Sportsmens Association w a s
thrown behind Webb at the or-
ganization‘s January m e e t i n g
Thursday evening at Hoodsport
and the backing of other sports-
mens groups on the peninsula and
Southwest Washington will be
sought by the canal association.
The Mason County Republican
central committee has promised
to recommend Webb to Governor
Langlie, according to a report-
made to the sportsmen by George
Hixon at Thursday‘s session.
Peninsula Post Vacated
Resignation recently of Harry
LeGear of Port Angeles leaves a
position open on the game com-
mission which the Hood Canal
group would have 'filled by the
appointment of Webb.
Featuring business of the Jan—
uary session was the annual re-
port of the game fish committee,
presented by Hixon on behalf of
Gene Martin, committee chair-
man.
Outstanding in the report was
the prediction that a new policy
adopted by the game department
in which fish plantings are to be
allocated according to the amount
of suitable water rather than the
number of licenses sold in each
county will be of direct benefit
to Mason County, resulting in con-
siderably increased plantings due
to the large number of exception-
ally fine streams and lakes here.
Action Commended
The report went on to say that
the commission also plans to make
its plantings earlier in the sea-
son hereafter so that all fish
planted may be inner ,anellt. was
for before the Weather becomes
too hot. Rearing of fish to at
least fingerling size before re-
lease is another change the re-
port commended on the part of
the game department.
The report said that a total
of 1,025,510 fish had been planted
by the state game department
during 1940 in Mason County wa-
ters, most of them of fingerling
size,>with a total of 235,363 be-
ing rainbow trout. An addition-
al 196,500 trout were salvaged
from Vance Creek this past year,
a somewhat reduced salvage due
to high water. Of the Vance
Creek salvage, 2500 were finger-
marked by the game department
for future observation before be-
ing dumped into Lake Cushman.
Lake Cushman catch records,
the report continued, showed that

A 25-35 carbine rifle has been
donated by the Lumbermen’s Mer-

Taking action on proposals for
legislation, the association favor~
ed the Tacoma Sportsmens so-
ciation proposal to revise he
bounty schedule on predatory ani‘
mals by changing the fishing and

commission‘s action in .setting
aside two Washington streams for
fly fising only was tabled.
