What’s The Matter
With Hemlock? '
Someone advised us once, if we
had a. serious disability or fault.
to make a virtue of it. ‘1'
I We think it‘s time to make
virtue of, our hemlock. ’
Too long has this noble tree
been regarded as a cross eye
stepchild.
We don’t pretend to be timber-i
men, but modern research should
be able to discover uses for hem-
lock that will make it a major
factor in the industry.
We have a tremendous amoun't
lof hemlock. Some day, its real
lworth will be recognized. Righ't
now, it's suffering from a bad
:reputatiOn, just like boards with
knots used to suffer. But they
made' a virtue‘ of k‘nots‘for inter-
ior decoration, and today you paYl

The lumber industry, be it not-l
ed, never was noted for particular-
,ly intelligent marketing. It Snif-
‘fed when substitutes began ad-

out loud when color and beauty
were proclaimed on behalf of“ 6V-

But it doesn't laugh any more-

'shingles about you.
It was the lumber industry
which named one of its chief pro-
ducts “common” lumber. No prune
grower, no food manufacturer
would be guilty of such a boner.
,We understand that once a lum-
berman suggested they change the
name to “utility” or “standard.”
or something like that, on the
ground that people don’t like to
build their homes of “common”
materials. But he, too, was sniffed i

the Capital City still existed. Sen-1

Olympia for the Capital in that,

Capitol Commission, and it is of,
interest that another Mason Coun- r'

definite action was taken. 1
In the session of 1901, the last‘;

Olympia was able to rally enough
strength to settle the Capital,
threat for good, and close a deal,
with Thurston County for its
rather massive Courthouse, whichl
was built in 1892 in boom days,1‘
and was a costly burden .on thci

that while Shelton has a “Capitol

Mason Grangers
Backing Auseth
In Milking Bee
Grangers of Mason County are
putting their surplus cream checks
on Martin Auseth, Master of Porn»
ona Grange in this county to win
the milk sweepstakes at the
Southwest Washington Fair on
Grange Day, August 23.
Brother Auseth has accepted
the defy of Frank Miller, Lewis
County Pomona Master, and has
told his colleague a few things
that will make the Lewis County
red. I
This county‘s Pomona Master
prides himself on his prowess on
a milk stool and Miller touched
his pride with a hot iron. l
The contest started when Mil—l
ler tried to down some nasty ru-I
inors touching on the actual farm-
ing ability of Pomona Masters.
He challenged, his brother mas—
ters to a contest on Grange Day
and took it for granted his let-
ter was couched in such strong,
terms that no one would accept.\
Masters have already accepted'
and they didn’t put any “maybe”
into their answers. They told
Miller in a big way. Now he’s
worrying in a big way, thinkingl
he may have said too much tool
soon.
Mrs. Miller now has no trouble
getting him to do the milking and
he’s trying out a lot of new an-
gles to this milking business.
Pomona Masters accepting so
far are from Pierce, Grays Har-
Cowlitz, Klickitat, Wahkia-
kum and Mason.
Grangers of the counties whose
masters have not accepted are
demanding action of their leaders
for they want to have the honor
of their county upheld in front
of the grandstand on Grange Day.
Advance tickets saving up to 50
per cent are now on sale and will
be until August 17. The fair op—
ens the 20th and closes the 24th
with the biggest program yet of-
fered by the fair. Many improve-
ments have been made this year
on the grounds and buildings and‘
they are in better shape than
ever before in the fair‘s history.|
