Particular credit should be paid
to Richard Powers, who, though
a newcomer to Shelton, by sheer
1work and personality made an
excellent campaign and amassed
a vote total putting him in a posi—

bicycle winners. '
Those candidates not winning
bicycles were ‘each paid a cash
commission of twenty per cent
on all money he or she had turned

Big Vote Total Counted
It was truly a wonderful race,
the individual number of votes

Memory of America’s war dead
in the first World War will be
honored here on Friday, May 23rd
and Saturday, May 24th, when
everyone will be asked to wean a
memorial poppy in tribute to their
service and sacrifice.
Plans for the observance of Pop-
py Day are being completed by
the Fred B. Wivell Unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary under
the leadership of Eula Martin,

war veterans, will be offered on

“This year, with the threatening

Federal Aid in Opening up Olym—
l pic Deposits Sought; New
Smelter Progressing
Fae Robinson
Construction of the foundations
of the new manganese smelting
plant at Hill Creek for the Olym-
pic Mines, Inc., has been com-
pleted, President A. E. Schrimpf
l
said last weekend on a visit to
Shelton, with prospects good for
completion of the entire plant by
mid-June and its being in opera-
tion by July 1.
Mr. Schrimpf came here t0
leave petitions for public signa—
tures which request the construc-
tion of a mine-to-market road
from Hoodsport to the Black &
White Mine in the vicinity of
Black and White Lake in the
Olympics, where considerable bo-
dies of ore containing around 30
per cent manganese would be tap-
ped by the new development.
Mr. Schrimpf said his company
is prepared to reach the‘ore de-
posits by tramway up over the
hills if the mine-to-market road
is not constructed, but the re-
quest for the road is being made
so that the area in that general
vicinity can be opened up for re-
creational purposes as well as for
the mining. .
The petition points out that the
proposed roadway would make
manganese ore available from’ the
Black and White Mine, which is
the best known source of supply
in Washington, for the new smelt-
ing plant now in the process of
construction; that the roadway
would thus stimulate employment
in this vicinity through the devel-
opment of a new industry; and
that the road would provide con-
venient access to the Olympic
primitive area for recreational
purposes in both summer and win—
ter.
Mr. Schrimpf pointed out fur-
ther that the road would run up
to the Flapjack Lakes ski area
which has been used in the past
couple of years by Shelton and
Bremerton ski clubs, which have
constructed a. cabin in the area,
that none of the mine-to-market
funds have ever been spent in this
county, that no other adequate
present supply of manganese is
available in this country now, and
that manganese is the number one
metalurgical defense problem and
its supply is imperative,. hence
the building of this proposed road
became a defense necessity.
When the new Hill Creek smel—
ter is in operation it will utilize
a new,method of processing the
ore developed by the Olympic
Mines concern. This process will
separate the managanese in a
form better than 99.8 per cent
pure. Previously known methods
have never been able to get more
than 96 per cent purity, Mr.
Schrimpf said.
Copies of the petition he left in
Shelton are being circulated by
the Chamber of Commerce or may
be signed at The Journal office
by interested persons.

Auditor’s Annual Report Indicates
General Strengthening Oi‘ Fi-
nancial Position During
Past Year
General conditions in Mason
County‘s governmental affairs as
reflected in the auditor’s annual
report for 1940 (published in to-
day’s edition of The Journal) show
a stronger financial condition in
general with such encouraging
‘1 pointers as:
(11 An increased cash balance
from $128,230.74 at the start of
the year to $147,723.90 at the close
I‘ of the year;
(2) More b onds redeemed,
‘leaving a good bonded indebted-
ness condition as a whole;
(3) Treasurer's cash on hand
:incrcased from $126,091.94 to
$145,667.85;
(«ll Delinquent taxes reduced
from $94,586.58 to $75,620.05;
(5) Outstanding school district
warrants reduced from $21,087.14
l to $13,550.23;
(6) A surplus in the current ex-
pense fund increased from $2,-
041.78 to $9,969.51;
(7) A reduction in the amount
of interest on warrants;
(8) Total debits reduced from
$843,477.78 to $813,648.58.
Other interesting figures car-
ried in the annual report today
show that Mason County had at
its command $742,197.16 with
which to carry on its government—
al functions in 1940, a slight de—
crease from the $747,856.80 it had
for the fiscal year of 1939. How-
ever, it had spent less at the end
of the year, $644,822.75 as com-
pared with $670,436.15 the year
prior.
Salaries and wages of county
employees climbed a bit during
the year, from $39,526 to $43,513.
Likewise, maintenacc and opera-
tion of county offices climbed
some $10,000 during the year,
from $39,963 to $49,841. Another
upward pull is noted in the field
of emergency funds, from $8,-
715 to $9,370. However, the total
current, expense budgeted for the
year, $103,281.07, was not fully ex-
pended, the $93,311.56 which was
used up leaving the already men-
tioned $9,969.51 surplus.
The source of county funds for
1940 is another interesting point.
Taxes assessed against Mason
County property totalled $230,-
627.04, a drop from $262,737.80 the
p r e v i o u s year. Miscellan-
eous sources supplied $383,339.38,
lan increase from $378,791.72 the
year before. The auditor’s and
clerk’s offices both showed small
increases in receipts for the year.
During the year, a total of $219,—
175.32 was transferred from fund
to fund in 44 separate actions
ranging in sums from two cents
to $152,443.01, the latter case be-
ing a transfer of state school
funds to school general funds.
Russell Hurley
Yields To Death
A valiant battle against death
which started almost five years
ago was ended last night when
Russell H. Hurley, 28, died in
the bed at Shelton hospital he
has occupied since October 9,
1937.
He was injured at Camp 3 while
employed by the Simpson Log-
ging company as a rigging man
on August 8, 1936, and had been
crippled since by a back injury.
He was a graduate of Irene S.
Reed high school with the class of
1933.
Funeral services will be con-
ducted next Saturday at two
o’clock from Witsiers Funeral
Home by the Rev. R. C. Muhly
of Mt. Olive Lutheran Church.
Interment will be in Shelton Mem-
orial Park.
He is survived by his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Hurley, of
Route 1, and several aunts and
uncles in this area, most of'them
members of the Callow family.
. Embarrassing!
Soldiers Find
Pants Missing
In 18 years of police work
Police Chief Ray Starwich
thought he’d seen about every-
thing there was to see, but he
had a new one added to his
experiences yesterday.
A telephone call urgently re-
‘quested his immediate presence
at a room in a. local hotel, so,
thinking a. fight was in pro-
gress, he hustled over and
found—
Three sheepish Fort Lewis
soldiers completely dressed with
the important exception of their
pants.
Sometime the night before,
during their sleep, someone had
taken their pants. A search of
the premises revealed the miss-
ing apparel in the women’s
rest room, the purses missing.
One soldier had slept in his
shirt and had put his purse in
his shirt pocket, so the trio
fortunately had money to re-
turn to their posts.

.MUSICWEEK
BIOWS BEFORE
F ULLHOUSE
Programs Tonight, Thursday To
Close Third Annual Music
Festival; Splendid
Program Enjoyed
Before a, crowd which filled ev-
ery seat in the junior high school
auditorium, Shelton’s third annual
Music Festival made its bow last
night and if the rest of the pro-
gram continues on a plane with
last night‘s, the 1941 Festival will
be a record breaker.
Highlight of the opening night’s
program, of course, was the ap-
pearance of the senior School band
which was judged the outstanding
band at the annual Southwest
high school band meet a week ago.
Playing a half dozen selections,
the senior band delighted the ca.-
pacity crowd with its outstanding
ability. During its part of the
program, the band, through City
School Supt. H. E. Loop and Band
Member Bob Pearson, presented
Director Ben Hallgrimson with an
engraved baton as a token of their
appreciation for the work he has
put in this year in shaping the
band into an outstanding instru-
mental group.
Instrument Parts Explained
Another sidelight to the band’s
appearance was an interesting di-
version in which Director Hall-
grimson exhibited the different
types of instruments which corn-
pose the band, explained their
places in the band,_ and had the
instruments played alone so the
audience could hear- the different
tone qualities of each.
In fact, the entire night’s pro-
gram was builtalong this gen,-
eral line, for instrument students
in the various stages of training
were called upon ,for perform-
ances in solo, duet and quartet
arrangements to show the pro~
gress of music training from be-
ginning to finished product as re-
presented in the senior band.
Theme Carried Out .
Selections by the beginners band
and the junior band carried. dut
the theme, with numbers by the
six members of the violin class
showing the audience the nucleus
of what the schools hope to de~
velop into a school orchestra in
the future. I ‘
The Lower Skokomish school
harmonica band and rhythm band,
the latter composed of first, sec-
ond and third grade tots, opened
the program with several selec-
tions which were generously ap-
plauded by the big crowd. ,
This evening the grade school
and junior high school vocal
groups will take the stage and
probably will draw an even larger
crowd than last night’s, then on
Thursday, after a Wednesday
night blank, the Music Festival
Will close with the Mary M. Knight
and Belfair school musical groups
sharing the stage with the Shel-
ton Women's Chorus and the Shel.
ton String Ensemble.
