VOLUME XXXIV. SHELTON, MASON COUNTY, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1920 NO. 31 CENSUS FIGURES (ilV£ COUNTY BUT 4919 POPULATION CORES MISSED BY ENUMERA- TORS HAVE CAUSED COUNTY TO. BE RELEGATED TO &apos; SEVENTH CLASS. Mason County has been advised through the office of the Secretary )f State that it has been relegated to the seventh class, with its popula- tion according to the late lamented ,census at something less than 5,000. This will have the effect of shad- ,ing official salaries a bit, and some- what lowering our people in their wn esteem. The 1910 census gave • Mason County 5156. Th 1920 cen- sus figures just issued give Mason County 4919 a decrease of 237, or 4.6 per cent. Regardless of what the official cen- sus returns may give us most citi- zens will feel that the county really has as many neople if not a trifle vnore than ten years ago. It is true that some of the larger logging .camps then in the county have worked over the line into the ad- joining count, and that Shelton has grown little m population over that "perLod, but there has been a material increase in the number of settlers in most of the fanning districts and es- pecially along the bays that should OLYMPIC PENINSULA DEVELOPMENT MEET Several hundred visitors are ex- pected to attend from all the Penin- sula counties and Grays Harbor the meeting in Olympia next Saturday afternoon, and a delegation plans to go from Mason County. New by- laws are to be adopted and a new organization • effected to boost for the Olympic Highway and the counties through which it goes. Entertainment will be provided by Olympians in- cluding a banquet at the new hotel and a dan'ce at the Tumwater Club at evening. CARLYON ROAD BILL HOPE FOR EARLY PAVING TRUCK LINES WOULD REACH 29 COUNTIES IN THE STATE. SEATTLE, July 14, 1920.mIf vot- ers of the state of Washington pass favorably on Referendum No. 1, known as the Carlyon good roads bill, this state will have 1,500 miles of well paved, conne'&ed highways, of uniform width, touching 29 counties and serving 90 per cent of the pop- ulation, according to the Automobile Club of Western Washington. It is pointed out that this measure should not be considered as a local or sectional proposition, but one of t A/1][i][ |Cillpll ] stores and the like.

LOCAL NINE ADDS ANOTHER SCALP TO BELT AT RAINIER RAINIER BADLY OUTCLASSED AND S C RE IS 18 TO 0--PLAY ABERDEEN HERE THIS SUNDAY. The Shelter Baseball Club added another scalp to its belt last Sun- day when the- filed up a score of 18 to 0 at Rainier. The game was too one-sided to be interesting d was a walk-awar for the local bo3s. The strangers didn't even have a look in. The best tlmy couht do was one measly little hit in the seventh in- ning. Burke who pitched for Shelter struck out 12 men while Kinke and Hoffman who took turns at tossing the ball for Rainier managed to fan seven. Miller, for ShelteR. knocked a home n the first thne at bat and FOURTH SWELLS HEHORIAL FUnD NEARLY THOUSAND COMMITTEE UNABLE TO MAKE FINAL FINANCIAL STATE- MENT UNTIL AILL AC- 0UNTS ARE SETTLED The Mason County Memorial Fund is to be swelled nearly a thousand dollars as a result of the Fourth celebration this year in the opinion of the Fourth Commttee although no final statement can be made until all of the receipts have been checked over and the bills received and paid. The Shelton Elks last week turned over to the Fund $379.77 which was the balance from their automobile contest after all accounts were set- tled. The balance from the two dances given during the celebration was nearly. $400, and the women's lunch sewce netted $320. 94, after covering expellees of $146.68. The lamb donated by Charles Saeger brought in $51.99. As. soon as the accounts are all collected the committee will make a complete statement of all money col- lected and turned over to the Fund. crone back later with a 3-bagger.
