COMMISSIONER ROY Mitchell told the union representatives, "You people keep thinking that !we are like a private company who can pass on wage increases to the consumer. We can't do that. We have only so much money to spend and there isn't any way we can falseanymore." Mitchell quoted a magazine ar- ticle written by the Attorney Gen- eral on the subject of government- al bodies dealing with unions. As- cording to the article Mitchell read to the union members, a gov- emunental body did not have to deal with a union unless they wanted to and that employees could not strike against a govern- mental body. Mitchell said that Mason county has had contracts with the union in the past al- though they were under no obli- gation to deal with them. Commissioner Streckenbach also told the men that the cotmty was not in a potation to grant a raise m view of the reduced 1959 county budget. BOTH COMMISSIONERS Mat: chell and Streckenba, ch felt that the unhm men failed to realize that a county government can only spend what it has and cannot grant employees an increase in salary unless the money is awdl- able. Vern Martin, business agent for the teamsters, said that the union did realize that there is a differ- ence between a governmental body and a private business and that although they are more lim- ited by law in many regards the union feels that wages paid to fContinucd on page 3) Auto Owners Must Get '§9 Licenses by Feb, 15 The Mason County Auditor's of- fice has sold 4800 auto licenses, 1600 truck licenses and 500 trailer licenses for 1959 as of February 1. Last year the total at this time was 3100 autos, 980 trucks and 250 trailer licenses. The time lim- it for '59 licenses ha been ex- tended to February 15 but the auditor's office advises those with- out new plates that Friday the 13th is the last day they can get them because the 15th falls on a Sunday. 25 miles to South Kitsa.p or about 20 miles to Shelton in order to complete their high school educa- tion. This has meant that many of the boys and girls have had to catch busses as early as 6:15 a.m. in order to get to school on time. RESIDENTS OF the area can- sidered a bond issue at first but gave up the idea because of the interest charges and decided to hold an election to see if the pan- pie of the area really wanted a high school. The levy will run in 1960 for one year. According to Superintendent Johnsen, the landslide vich)ry for the new high schtml was clue to a united community effort and was the largest school election ever held at Belfair. At the present time work has begun to introduce new subje('ts to the school curricula in order to meet state requirements for a high school diploma. Advaneed emzrses in math,: history and English are now trader consideration and it is expected that sctenee courses will be offered in 1960. The state law rcq es one year of labo)'at()ry science for high school graduation. The enrollment of the Junior High School now is about 150 and it is expected to hit 200 next year and ultimatctly around 350 when the full four-year program is in effect. TWO PUBLIC meetings, one held on ,lanuary 14 and the other on January 29 drew large crowds and undoubtedly had a favorable effect on the passage of the 31- mill levy. Senate bills 200 and 149 will be discussed at a senate hearing this Monday at 2 p.m. These two bills deal with the re- turn of at.ate forest board lands to the counties and the increase of valuation of clarified lands. Ma- son comity officials are extremely interested in the bills bocause if they are passed it would mean sttbstantial new aourcen of revenue for the operation of local govern- ment. Boy Scouts To Hold Honor Court Feb. I1 "This one ia senna' be differcnt," is the claim of the Scoutmasters and Boy Scout eommissioner staff in planning the coming Court of Honor. The court will be held at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, in Bor- deaux school. THE EVENT will include din- plays iUustrating scouting skills, though Bob Stine's Troop 12 has a problem, how to pitch a tent on a cement floor. George Snyder, with Troop 16, has the display Slate Senale Io Hear problem of types qf fires used in cooking. Troop 10, under the Impodant Looal Bills g,,idanee of Ernie Anderson, is going to make tent pegs and camp equipment right before the eyes o ,f parents and scouting friends. "We want the scouting ranks and merit badge awards to be pr sentcd in an atmosphere of out- door scouting" said Archic Under- wood, veteran scouter of many years. "We are planning for boy participation an much as possible in this court." THE DISTRICT Court of Hon- or will include all troops in Ma- son County and start the drive "llpward in Scouting Rank."

Don Brown Appoinled '59 Fair Manager Don Brown, a Cf)nlseltH' Ht the Shelh)n Junior Higi School, has been cbosell aS the nlHlH4ger of the 1959 Mason County Fair by the Mason County Fail" Board. The j )b of the n|anager is to coordinate the various aetivitks of the fair. Brown said that he had m:)t vet had the opportunity to meet with the board and tlmt plans for this year's fair arc ill undecided. He said that he ex- pects to meet with .the board |n Le near Iutuve. growing systent of Tacoma City Light. Murray pointed out that the Cowlitz development in Lewis county, when completed, would provide 460,000 kilowatts of ener- gy. In addition, Tacoma, which also serves a dozen neighboring communities, as well as Mason County P.U.D. No. 1, is destined to receive 50,000 kilowatts from Priest Rapids Dam on the Colum- bia River. These sources () power, O course, are in ad(iition to Tacoma's present generatiml from its two Cushman plants near Hoodsport, and its two power phtnts on the Nisqua.lly Rivcr near Eatonville. Despite these sere'cos, Tacoma City Light still buys approximate- ly 60'/; of its power from the Bonneville Power Administration at, a, c()sL of approximately three million dollars per year. MURRAY SAID that the rela- tionship of Cushman No. 3 is vit- ally important to the board it it is to be able to nmke a proper de- termination on the future course of City Light's construction. C(, dillings and preliminary tests on Cushman No. 3 have been undertaken in past years. Nearly $36,000 has been spent for fish studies. Origiually, plann for the diinl on the South Fork called fox" a con- crete arch structure 300 feet high and 500 feet across, containing :i ot a mLllion cubic yards of con- crete. A portion of the project would include an earth-fill dam. The project would f()rm a reser- v,)ir 7/ miles hmg which would be linked to the prcsent Lake Cushman by means of a. h)ng tun- nel. The Sooth Fork development would require about three ycara of construction and approximately 600 persons would be employed at peak development. The city holds a preliminary permit from the Federal Power Commission for construction of the projcct. MOST OBSERVERS concede that the Cushman No. 3 project has been delayed hn'gely because of Tacoma's difficulties in connec- tion with the larger Cowlitz River dewdopment which has heen fought by leaders of tile Washing- ton Statc Sportsmen's Council for more than ten years. Logger Suffers Leg Injury In Mmhap Joseph Bona, 52, Chehalis, suf- fered a broken leg Monday after- noon when one of a pile of logs he was moving with a cat bounced around and struck him on the leg. The accident happencd about six miles northeast of Tahuya. He was taken to the Harrison hos- pitl in Brenterton by the Belfair ambulance.

Deer and State Deputy Fire Marshal Walter Ricknmn are mak- ing the inspecti,m. A complete re- port of th( findings will be sent t() the school districts. TO FACE TRIAL---Mrs. Ircne Creech is shown here on the left with her attorney Henry Opendack of Seattle. A written plea of not guilty by reason of mental irresponsibility was made last Friday in the Mason County Superior court. Opendack made a special request for a speedy trial date and it appears that it will be held here sometime in March. Mrs. Creech was arrested last May on suspicion of fatally shooting her sister, Klnora Bloom- field, at Hood Ganal, (Jou;'na 9hoto) Z4egle¢ prtnt.)

COMMISSIONER ROY Mitchell told the union representatives, "You people keep thinking that !we are like a private company who can pass on wage increases to the consumer. We can't do that. We have only so much money to spend and there isn't any way we can falseanymore." Mitchell quoted a magazine ar- ticle written by the Attorney Gen- eral on the subject of government- al bodies dealing with unions. As- cording to the article Mitchell read to the union members, a gov- emunental body did not have to deal with a union unless they wanted to and that employees could not strike against a govern- mental body. Mitchell said that Mason county has had contracts with the union in the past al- though they were under no obli- gation to deal with them. Commissioner Streckenbach also told the men that the cotmty was not in a potation to grant a raise m view of the reduced 1959 county budget. BOTH COMMISSIONERS Mat: chell and Streckenba, ch felt that the unhm men failed to realize that a county government can only spend what it has and cannot grant employees an increase in salary unless the money is awdl- able. Vern Martin, business agent for the teamsters, said that the union did realize that there is a differ- ence between a governmental body and a private business and that although they are more lim- ited by law in many regards the union feels that wages paid to fContinucd on page 3) Auto Owners Must Get '§9 Licenses by Feb, 15 The Mason County Auditor's of- fice has sold 4800 auto licenses, 1600 truck licenses and 500 trailer licenses for 1959 as of February 1. Last year the total at this time was 3100 autos, 980 trucks and 250 trailer licenses. The time lim- it for '59 licenses ha been ex- tended to February 15 but the auditor's office advises those with- out new plates that Friday the 13th is the last day they can get them because the 15th falls on a Sunday. 25 miles to South Kitsa.p or about 20 miles to Shelton in order to complete their high school educa- tion. This has meant that many of the boys and girls have had to catch busses as early as 6:15 a.m. in order to get to school on time. RESIDENTS OF the area can- sidered a bond issue at first but gave up the idea because of the interest charges and decided to hold an election to see if the pan- pie of the area really wanted a high school. The levy will run in 1960 for one year. According to Superintendent Johnsen, the landslide vich)ry for the new high schtml was clue to a united community effort and was the largest school election ever held at Belfair. At the present time work has begun to introduce new subje('ts to the school curricula in order to meet state requirements for a high school diploma. Advaneed emzrses in math,: history and English are now trader consideration and it is expected that sctenee courses will be offered in 1960. The state law rcq es one year of labo)'at()ry science for high school graduation. The enrollment of the Junior High School now is about 150 and it is expected to hit 200 next year and ultimatctly around 350 when the full four-year program is in effect. TWO PUBLIC meetings, one held on ,lanuary 14 and the other on January 29 drew large crowds and undoubtedly had a favorable effect on the passage of the 31- mill levy.

He said that he ex- pects to meet with .the board |n Le near Iutuve. growing systent of Tacoma City Light. Murray pointed out that the Cowlitz development in Lewis county, when completed, would provide 460,000 kilowatts of ener- gy. In addition, Tacoma, which also serves a dozen neighboring communities, as well as Mason County P.U.D. No. 1, is destined to receive 50,000 kilowatts from Priest Rapids Dam on the Colum- bia River. These sources () power, O course, are in ad(iition to Tacoma's present generatiml from its two Cushman plants near Hoodsport, and its two power phtnts on the Nisqua.lly Rivcr near Eatonville. Despite these sere'cos, Tacoma City Light still buys approximate- ly 60'/; of its power from the Bonneville Power Administration at, a, c()sL of approximately three million dollars per year. MURRAY SAID that the rela- tionship of Cushman No. 3 is vit- ally important to the board it it is to be able to nmke a proper de- termination on the future course of City Light's construction. C(, dillings and preliminary tests on Cushman No. 3 have been undertaken in past years. Nearly $36,000 has been spent for fish studies.

A portion of the project would include an earth-fill dam. The project would f()rm a reser- v,)ir 7/ miles hmg which would be linked to the prcsent Lake Cushman by means of a. h)ng tun- nel. The Sooth Fork development would require about three ycara of construction and approximately 600 persons would be employed at peak development. The city holds a preliminary permit from the Federal Power Commission for construction of the projcct. MOST OBSERVERS concede that the Cushman No. 3 project has been delayed hn'gely because of Tacoma's difficulties in connec- tion with the larger Cowlitz River dewdopment which has heen fought by leaders of tile Washing- ton Statc Sportsmen's Council for more than ten years.
