Cowan, ¥igilant A. Evans and Win. Brennan .as the trustees. As the capitalization indicates industry of large proportions and one entirely new in the Northwest is planned by those behind the idea, and that they mean business is attested by the lease for ten years with the lorivilege of buying of 10,000 acres of logged lands from the Simpson and Mason County logging companies and mother allied" owners. The land lies around Lake Newatzel and extend as NEW COUNTY NURSE ARRIVED THIS WEEK Mrs. Bethesda Buchanan, state sec- reta W of the anti-tuberculosis league, came from Seattle Monday, accom- panied by Miss McMahon, who was duly installed as the new county nurse.

The milk produced will either be sold :fresh or processed before hipment. Few people are acquainted with the old-fashioned goat although fa- aniliar with the jokes about these animals producing quantities of milk on a diet of old tin cans. Those who have had experience, and especially ,men who have seen what gots wiU do while serving in France, tell us that a good goat will produce as • much milk as the average cow, and that its nfilk is considered richer and better for some lmrposes than cow's milk. Better still, in the vast region about Lake Newatzel the goats are expected to find their own forage for mut of 'the year. Lands will be ,:teared for forage crops and homes built for the families of tlm work- II]Ol.

YOUNG WOMEN MAKE SUCCESS OF RAISING BEES NEAR POTLATCH \\; THE MISSES SATER AND HOFF- MAN PLAN TO MAKE "MOUN- TAIN FLOWER HONEY" WIDELY KNOWN Miss Marion Hoffman and Miss ttarriet Sater, who are associated in the Mountain Flower Honey Farm near Lake Cushman, were .town vis- itors Wednesday and express them- selves as well satisfied with their ,ex- perience in bees since •their purf.has of the farm last summer, although they lost part of their swarms before they conquered the disease of foul- brood. They plan to greatly increase their hives this season and make the name of "Mountain Flower Honey" known everywhere. The young ladies are not novices and have not taken up bee culture as u fad, but for business. Both have l.-,,1 .:msiderable experience with bees an.I are graduates of Colorado Col- b'e, at Colorado Springs, Colorado, ,,vh(w, Miss Sater was also assistant t:rt,.,urer for nine years. She also sf<,}ft two yems i], ]ed Cross and Y. W. C. A. um'k (luring the war. Mi's Hoffman added to her expert ioncc by graduating from the State Avricultural Collge at Ft. Collins, and also seMng for two terms as treasurer of Hinsdale ICou'nty, in Col- orado. They joined last spring in thr search for an ideal locationto engage in bee cultue and visited many places on the way' to this section, besides spending some time in Cong- don orchards in Yakima county, with the bee man. Learning of the Lake Cushman district they came, 'and de- cided it should be their future home, and are doing all their own work to- ward developing the apiary, assisted' by Miss Sater's father. t Spring is not far away, if we can believe what the robins and larks say a 'complete line of tires, accessories, gas and oils.. Maurice Needham and Milton Clo- thier, the two members of the firm, are well known young men here and in entering the local field they have the good-will and su]port of a large number of people throughout the county. Both were raised here and" have made their.,homcs here conti: uously for a nunfl)er of years with the exception of the period which they served in the armY and navy during the war. Their shop eqvipmont is arrivin d: ily and they cxp('ct witlfin a few days to be ahl,', lo tmndle any work in their lin' which may come to them.

WIFE CAN VOTE, BUT HUBBY CAN'T A woman of fot:cign birth nmy register and vote, but her husband, who can't locate his naturalization papers, and perhaps his children Brown to manhood, if born abroad, are unable to register. This is one of the inconsistencies in the workings out of the naturalization law. The woman gets her citizenship when she marries a citizen, and does not lose it though her husband should be unable to pYoduce his naturaliza- tion laapers and is barred from fran- cliise rights. " In the case of the chil- dren born abroad,, they take their cit- izenship through their father by vir- tue of his papers. If he hasn't them to produce, they also are disfran- chised.

Eas Campaign wMch is to be con- ducted throughout the country on Alril 5 to 10 inclusive and it is the slfirit with which the solicitation for funds is being made according to Charles Paine, county chairman of the committee in charge of the cam- paign. Although the plans for the raising of 'the funds are not yet complete the committee announces that a .free show at the Lyric theatre will be a feature of the week. At that time a speaker from Seattle will present the subject to the public. Special sermons will be given on Easter Sunday in both the Baptist and Methodist churches at wlfich time the urgency of the, campaign and the crying need'of the stricker people of the East will be set forth. Arrangements are being made for the Minute Women to handle the local solicitations, Further plans will be made known in the near future. The committee for the county con- siste of Mrs. M. F.

The City of Tacoma is going ahead with its plans to secure the power of the North Fork of the SkokonIish river, sixty miles away, for its ex- clusive use. This power is l)erhaps the best and cheal)est developed an(1 most accessible power in the state, convenient to ti(te-wat(,v. If secured by I acol.m this grand power ,.'fl be the saine as st(den fronl another eoulgy, for ?,ias,,a County will t)e depl'ived f()l'cver of the ]osH,ilitv:. . . of securing 't kil,)wat _%r its own use, :uul fui'ther 'n:m hm:h:., what little taxes now cc:',: "on] the lands it or all ti,c ft'Oln taxation to eovePs, will alst) l(,e " help out its own needs \\;]',atev,'v would :follow the development of an ilnnense hydro-clectl:ie'l)lafft for indu.strial uges. Not a citizen of Mason County will gain in an3, way by the absorption of the Skokonfish river power by the city of Tdcoma,' even an outside pro- lnoter seems to have pretty well cinched the deal with the city and secured a strangle hold on the power by shoe-string operations. While big paper mills land other industrial en- ter'prises re1: which this particular power is pecu- liarly adapted are seeking for just such opportun- ities, and if the field was clear would very likely take advantage of the Skokomish to develop a vast power and establish hrger industries than anything we know of in this country,--which in a short time would double our five millions of taxing values,- our people, many of /vhom have spent their best years dreaming of the future prosperity to come when the timber should disappear and industries and great farming areas should take its place,--are still dreaming. Not a citizen of Mason County favors the de- velopment of this power by Tacoma rather than' by some private industrial enterprise, because we are more directly concerned in powering Mason County industries raffler tkan Taeolna industries. The Journal.. has talked of tbe.:.e, '- matters many times be:fore, but failed to find anyone who knew what'. could be done, and interest soon lagged. Now a nfllnbef of eitiT.ens and taxpayers feel that.if Mason County has any rights h this, power that can be protected they sh(Nld be ,saved, and will appear befole the County Board at its - ,s" ' session Tuesday, April 6, £o urge that expert legal advice be secured from some authority as to whether Ma- son County has any power to protect its rights, or whether some concessions at best cannot be secured for their surrender. It is even suggested that the I county might bond for sufficient funds to hold and mak an initial development of the Skgkomis h power, and en offer it to industries at cost, secur- ing its rewd in. ;future tax returns. ' At any rate, le's not surrender until we know we're helpless. , '"; is the way that Mrs. Munson reached Port Townsend on March 28, 1859. They had sailed from Boston on September 5, 1858. The schooner Toand) had experienced a long, ted- ious voyage. She could not pass through the Strait of Magellan and in passing around Cape Horn she was driven many miles to the south- ward until the sun was visible for nearly the whole span of day and NO. 14 STATE REQUESTS ' JUDGE SENTENCE GUILTY 1. W. W. DEFENSE COUNSEL IN GRIMM MLIRDER CASE FAILS TO FILE • MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL BEFORE TIME LIMIT Montesano, March 17.--State coun- sel today requested Judge John M. Wilson to order the seven I. W. W. foun d guilty o£ murdering Lieutenant Warren O. Grimm at Centralia, Ar- mistice Day, in a verdict returned Satmxtay night, to appear before him for sentence in the Grays Harbor county superior court next Monday. Defense counsel had failed to file a motion for a new trial for the con- victed Reds up to 5 o'clock yesterday, when the time limit expired. Coun- sel, however, may have the time ex- tended by application to Judge Wil son. Either a motion for a new trial, or, failing in that, an appeal to the su- preme court, for which counsel is allowed 90 days to perfect, will auto- matically delay ])assing sentence on the convicted men. If the Grimm case is appealed, plans have been made to distribute the eight I. W. W. in jail here; the seven under conviction of second de- gree murder and Loren, Roberts, the defendant declared insane, among several county jails in Southwestern Washington, to prevedt thh necessity for extra guards at Montesano. Orders recalling the. provisional company of: the 351h lMfantry, of Camp Lewis, which has been on duty at Montesano for more than three weeks, are expected in a day or two. LEGION COMMANDERS night.
