L
OFF TO A FINE START
One heard nothing but compliments and optimistic pre-
dictions for the future about the Mason County fair during
last weekend's "housewarming" in the fair',s new home at
the airport.
That the move to the new site was a wise decision is
vividly reflected in the 50( gain in attendance over any peak
year in the past. That attendance will increase in the fu-
ture is a reasonable assumption considering that future
improvement in the fair is also a reasonable assumption.
Expansion is sure to be one of the improve:
ments as addional buildings already planned are
added to the present complex of fair structures.
The three permanent buildings in which the fair
made its debut in its new home last weekend were
all that time and finances allowed this year.
All who worked--'and there was much work done--to
make this 1963 fair come off on schedule on the new site
deserve high acclaim, especially Clive Troy, president, and
Carl Izett, who came out of retirement to plan and super-
vise construction of the new buildings.
Mason County was most fortunate to have a man of
Mr. Izett's capabilities willing to make his talents available
on this substantial community project. To him particularly
the people of this area owe a huge vote of appreciation.
TARDY AGTiON GOSTLY TO LUMBER
Dear Bill :
I thought Mr. Holt was a little
unfair in his letter in the Journal
of August 22. where he criticized
the management of P.U.D. 3 by
comparing our rates with Lewi
County PUb. where circumstances
are entirely different.
I agree with some of his state-
ments. Our PUb is in a healthy
financial position, it does have
substantial cash reserves, and i
approaching completion of the re-
habilitation of district properties.
But the same mangagement which
Mr. Holt is criticizing is respon-
sible for getting our PUb into
such a favorable financial condi-
tion.
Mr. Holt implies that the two
PUDs mentioned are very similar
when in fact the mrcumstances
are greatly different. Lewis Coun-
ty has approximately twice as
many customers. Lewis County
PUb has a much more compact
district with several towns to
serve while Mason County Dis-
trict has one town and several
scattered, thinly populated areas
with long feeder lines required to
reach the communities even un-
derwater cables in at least two
cases were required. These out-
stretched communities are ex-
pensive to serve and the refusal el
the private power company to
serve them. even at very high
rates, was one of the major rea-
sons that Mason County is now
served by P,U.D.s,
There is also a great difference
in the type of power users in the
two counties. 'iason County
has a large number of part-time
or summer users who pay only
the minimum for most of the ,gear
while Lewis County has a prepon-
derance of heavy load customers.
Mr. Holt, in his well written
letter, showed himself to be quite
knowledgeable on the subject o£
rates and I therefore believe he
would have given the impression
of much greater fairness had he
admitted that Lewis County com-
mercial rates have been about 30%
higher than Mason and their in-
dustrial rates about 50 higher.
Thus it will still take considerable

While Mason P.U.D. 3 is ap-
proaching completion of the re-
habilitation of its properties, it is
also approaebing, in the immediate
future, further expansion at consi-
derable cost. so it vouia seem that
;he management has followed the
wise course, for our district ana
provided some surplus funds on a
reasonable rate structure which
will save the district thousands oz
3ollars in future interest.
I am glad Lewis County has
reached the position to where it
can lower rates substantially. 1
am looking forward with pleasure
to the time when our PUb will
be able logically to do likewise.
We have been fortunate over
the years, and up to date. to have
had such fine. honest men as PUb
Commissioners and managers, ded-
icated to the task of seeing that
the PUD gives the best possible
service, and I am sure that when
the right time arrives the commis-
sioners will be very happy to re-
duce as low as possible because
the P.U,D. is a non-profit organi-
zation and must pass the savings
on to its customers.
Mr. Holt might be in,crested to
Inow that PUb 3 has already cut
rates more than two million dol-
lars a year. If each one of us cus-
tomers had to have our light bills
refigured at the rate the power
company was charging when the
PUb was established our light bills
would be about three times what
Introduction of a Congressional bill to extend the "Puer-
to Rican" amendment to the Jones Act, voted first by the
last Congress, comes none-too-soon.
In fact, it may be so late now that some of the
benefits to Northwest lumber shippers may be lost,
at the very least temporarily suspended.
Congresswoman Julia Butler Hnsen, instrumental in
getting the "Puerto Rican" amendment passed originally,
has introduced the bill seeking its extension. The original
act was of an experimental nature, with a one-year limita-
tion, exempting the domestic lumber industry from the
Jones Act requirement that all shipments of goods from one
port to another be in American vessels so that Northwest
lumber might compete realistically with British Columbia
mills for the Puerto Rican lumber market.
The "experiment" proved conclusively that American
lumber shippers could do so, for under provision of the
exemption 6.5 million board feet of Northwest lumber have
been sold to Puerto Rico in 1963 so far, compared to none
during the previous two years.
The need for continuing this exemption has
been attested to in repeated letters received by
Mrs. Hanson and other Washington State congres-
sional members from state lumber companies.
But the original "Puerto Rican" amendment is due to
expire October 23 and the Simpson Timber Company, one
of the Northwest lumber shippers which has taken full ad-
vantageof the law, has been advised by the Maritime Ad-
ministration that lumber shipments to Puerto Rico on for-
eign vessels will be illegal, unless actually loaded and under
way before the expiration date.
This means: that efforts to sell any more Northwest
lumber in thg!:Puerto Rican market this season will be sus-
pended until an extension of the law is obtained. Many weeks
of negotiation are required to line up transports±ion and or-
ders and the Oct. 23 expiration date is now too near.to make
further contracts feasible. Thus a suspension, and a result-
ing loss of sales, in the Puerto Rican lumber market is
forced on American lumber shippersuntil such time as
Mrs. Hansen s eXtension bill is acted upon. ' :
The one year shipping privilege extended to
American lumber manufacturers wishing to serve
the Puerto Rican market has not yet been given a
full year's benefit. The shipments to Puerto lico
by West Coast mills was a promising beginning and
deserves an extension to develop the progress al-
ready made in the far--too-brief period.
Another Congressional act which should be carried to
culmination is the joint effort of Senators Maganson of
Washington and Jordan of Idaho to amend the Taxiff Act
of 1930 which would require the marking of lumber as to
country of origin. !
The amendment, passed by both houses, is now subject
to action by a joint House-Senate conference committee to
iron out minor differences in the two versions.
It could be jeopardized by a statement made by the
president of the National Association of Home Builcers to
the effect that marking lumber would result in higher rices
to consumers. This. is a thoughtless remark from such a high
office because all lumber produced in both Canada and 'the
United States is by law required to be marked for grade
and other things already. The simple addition of the words
"Made in Canada" would add nothing to the cost.
Such things as this are characteristic of the
way the American lumber industry has been tor- [(nrsi]dtl,veemplaint, will be entered
podded in every effort it h, as made to get eauaI sig;7h':-.

County Moves
To Obtain
Right-Of-Way
The Mason County Commission
Monday instructed the County En-
gineer and Prosecuting Attorney
to go ahead with whatever action
is necessary to obtain right-of-way
on the two remaining pieces of
property involved in the relocation
and uprovement of the North
Shore Road.
Jim Lietch. who has been doing
right-of-way work for the county
told the commissloners that ag-
reements had been completed for
57 of the 59 pieces of property in-
volved and asked commmsion ap-
proval to start condemnation pro-
ceedings in the remaining two
cases if necessary. The commission
turned the matter over to the
engineer and prosecuting attorney
I or action.
PLATS FOg Lynwood Beach
Agate Beach and Nahwatzel Es-
tates were approved.
Also approved were emergency
appropriations for the Sheriff's of-
fice and juvenile probation office.
A supplemental budget for $3.-
000 for the Mason County Fair
was approved. The funds went into
the building program and were
some from the state which were
not anticipated when the budget
was made up last year.

The fact that Lewis county At Sohafer Park
P.U.D. was lowering rates nearly
a quarter of a million dollars a Fifty-two dogs were entered in
year while at the same time in the Western Washington Tree-
the adjoining county of Thurston hound Association's field trial at
the power company was asking
the State for permmsion to raise
to where the company would
charge its Thurston County custo-
mers alone an additional quarter
of a million dollars shows dramati-
cally how much better off people
are who are served by P.U.D.s
than are those who have to buy
their electricity from a private
power company.

City Approves
Zoning Change
For. Duplexes
The Shelton City Commission
Tuesday night approved a zoning
variance to permit the construc-
tion of two duplexes at Seventh
and Grant.
The action was taken on the
recommendation of the planning
commission which recommended
that a conditional exception for
the northalf of Block 14, Need-
ham and Day's Addition, be grant-
ed to Darrell Welsh.
Welsh had requested that the
entire block be rezoned from res-
idential i to residential 2 to per-
mit the construction of multi-unit
housing.
THE PLANNING commission
recommendation was the result of
a compromise after objections
from neighboring property owners
were voiced at a planning commis-
sion hearing.
A zoning variance was also ap-
proved for the Moll Chevrolet Co.
John Bariekman, representing
property owners in Beverly
Heights, told the commissioners
that in a meting of the residents
there after a meeting with the
city to discuss replacement water
mains, the residents had been of
the unanimous opinion that the
replacement of the deteriorated
mains was the responsibility of the
city,
it is 60 feet, there will not be
stallation of two lights at Calla-
nan Park.
CITY ENGINEER Pat Byrne
asked that the city attorney check
into a right-of-way problem which
is holding up a 'building permit
to Ted Wittenberg.
Byrne said there is a street,
which was an old county road,
running through the three lots on
which the building is planned, and,
that the city has right-of-way
through adverse possession from
use over a number of years. There
is no record of the width of the
right of way, he said, and that if
iris 60 feet. there TiE not be
enough area left to meet zoning re-
strictions for lot size for construc-
tion of a home.

the next three spots. Ed Johnston
was third. Bob Aitken fourth and
Von Hogan fifth.
John Schreiber won 50CC class

Phillips fourth.
It Was That Identical
Name Problem Again
Identical names, the bane of
news reporters and often the
source of embarrassment to inno-
cent people, has popped up to
plague a Shelton man.
In a recent police court action
here, an Olympia man forfeited
$10 on a charge of being drunk in
public. His name is Harry Flet-
cher, his address is Route 6, Olym-
pia.
But Harry Fletcher. Route 1.
Shelto., an abstainer and strong
opponent of alcoholic drinking, has
been suffering for his namcsake's
transgression as acquaintances
give him the business.
So, to keep the recor'd straight,
Shelton's Harry Fletcher is not
the Harry Fletcher referred to in
the report of police court action
carrie in the Journal two weeks
ago.
