Preparations were started last
night by Shelton aerie for a visit.
on December 1 of State President
Harrison McAdams of the Frater-

President Art Griggs appointed a
committee consisting of Cliff Col-
lins, Earl Moore, George Andrews
and himself to make arrange-
ments for a program for that
night.
The committee has already def-
initely scheduled a sort of “bond
burning” ceremony at which all
past bills incurred by the defunct
Eagles clubroom several years ago
will be burned as the local aerie
will by that time have wiped UP
all old debts of the clubroom.
In addition, the committee has
tentatively planned to secure en-
tertainment from Seattle to mix
in with local talent, plus refresh-
ments and the Eagle President's
address. The program is to be
open to all Eagles and invited
guests, it was announced todaY-

Chastised Prep Clubs To Meet In
Night Game At Navy Yard
Field Friday
Shelton football fans will be
able to see the Highclimbers in
gridiron action at least once more
this season for they will play

the State High School Athletic
Association‘s “doghouse” this
coming Friday evening in a night
game at Bremerton.
The game 'will start at eight

Roosevelt Field in the Navy Yard
metropolis.
Both Bremerton and Shelton
were suspended from playing dur-
ing the remainder of the season
against teams in the State Ass’n
but will play each other inas-
much as both are being chastised
for starting football practice be—
fore September 1.
Officials of both schools are
awaiting the outcome of their
request that the suspension or-
der, invoked September 27, be
reconsidered by the state asso-
ciation. A decision is expected to
be reached sometime this week.
City Supt. H. E. Loop has ad-
dressed individual appeals to each
member of the 20-man represent-
ative assembly of the state as-
sociation which recommended the
suspension and so far has receiv-
ed nothing but sympathetic re-
plies with promises to vote in
favor of reconsideration and a
lighter punishment, he said.
Although the team has been
suspended from further play with
teams in the association, Coach
Walt Hakola has been working
the Highclimber squad out at Loop
Field the past few days and ,says
his lads will be in shape to play
Friday. night.

The family homestead in Upper

While clearing the land for the
homestead, Mr. Ford and his
brother, Will, turned to the timL
her then covering the region and
built a small mill which was op-
erated for many years to supply
the needs of the settlers in that
district with lumber for their
homes, and in later period to fur-
nish a surplus for a‘l‘ugmber yard
in Shelton. The mill was closed
in. 1929 and the Fords have since
retired to the farm.
The mill was an ingenius ar-
rangement and its power was
furnihhed by a traction
engine
which had many
uses, first on the
mill and in the mill the drive
pulley was connected with the
carriage and saws and also to a
drive shaft to run a planet-
The caterpillar tread made it
possible to haul a. well loaded
truck over an ordinary road and
to deliver the lumber to settlers
or to the Peninsular Railroad
which was near by. This plan
was used as far back as 1905 and
was the original idea from which
the present caterpillar machines
have been adapted to modern log-
ging.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
Commissioners
Consider 1942
County Budget
County commissioners were
digging into 1942 final budget
figures today in conference with
other county office heads in an
effort to shave off approximate-
ly $15,000 from the prelimin-
ary budget figures submitted by
the several offices three Weeks
ago.
The commissioners called in
the office heads to do the par-
ing on the theory that they
knew better where reductions
could be made than the board
itself. The task of shaping the
final budget probably will take
up most of this week.
No figures had been turned
into the auditor's office at press
time today on the final 1942
budget for Public Utility Dis-
trict No. 1, which was consid-
ered last night at the district’s
offices at Potlatch.

for a 14-min levy for current ex-

mill over. the 1941 levy, plus 2.25
mills for bond redemption and in-
terest, the same as last year, and
a budget totalling $57,085.
A pay boost of $10 per month
was provided for in this budget
for appointive city employes. The
budget as finally adopted follow-

ommendation as to millage and
total figures, although several
changes, particularly in regard
to the salaries mentioned above,
were made in individual items in
the budget as recommended by
the finance committee.
Assessed Valuation Higher
Although the millage for cur-
rent expensc was reduced for
1942, the 14 mills set last night
will still raise more money than
this year's 15 mills due to the
substantial increase in valuation
