TRACT THIS WEEK
Last week there was filed at Olym-
pia articles of incorporation of the
/Mason County Goat Farm, capitaliz-
ed at $50,000, with Charles O. 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

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-

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.

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.

IS MASON COUNTY HELPLESS?
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. , '";

Port Townsend on March 28, 1859.
They had sailed from Boston on
September 5, 1858. The schooner

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

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.
