"CARRYING COALS TO NEWCASTLE"
Bringing gravel and sand to Shelton strikes us as
being akin to "carrying coals to Newcastle," and we have
been unable to find out just why several scow loads of
this natural product which so abounds in this vicinity
should be shipped here from a private gravel pit at
Steilacoom and then a fleet of heavy trucks brought here
to transport the sand and gravel to the new concrete
bridge on the highway at' Mill Creek. The explanation
offered is that an engineer from the state highway de-
partment has inspected our home material and turned it
down on quality. Another possible explanation might
be suggested that the outside concern needs to dispose
of some sand and gravel these days.
There are two sand and gravel bunkers at Shelton
each under a hillside of raw material, and the product
has been used in all our local improvement requiring
gravel and sand. It has been found suitable for our hos-
pital, our library and all foundations and sidewalks, and
it has also been used in the immense abutment construct-
ed to support the 150-foot span of the new Peninsular
Railway bridge, to cost several• times as much as the
concrete bridge across Mill Creek. Incidentally it will
cost the contractor twice as much to get his material as
it would to have used that produced at home.
It seems to be a fad of some people to hunt up ex-
cuses to push good home money away, forgetful of the
fact that if there was any advantage it would be but
temporary, but the effect on the community pocketbook
is lasting. There is little excuse to make this a practice,
and none where home odabor and home industry may
suffer. A lot of good Mason County bond money is going
into the highway work and local sand and gravel should
be used on the job.
. EVERYTHING TO'LOSE
A large number of taxpayers whose holdings are in
the northern part of Mason County will find something
of interest to them on page 12 of this issue, notice that
they are parties defendant in proceedings brought by
the City of Tacoma to condemn their property for the
uses of the municipality. Obviously, it is up to them to
organize and put up a contest lest they be dispossessed
and find it necessary to accept whatever sum the lenient
court might adjudge fair.
This brings to issue the question which has been
agitated among our people before: Whether it is pos-
sible to defeat the aim of the city o acquire the largest
and best power site in Mason County, and to preserve
the asset for other use and as an asset to our taxable
valuation. Certainly many of the owners do not intend
to sit idly by and let Tacoma gobble up their lands and
rights without putting up a fight, and there are enough
to co-operate and employ the best legal talent to contest
the step and protect their interests, or see that due re-
turn is given. The real sufferers in the event the city
gains its ends will be the farmers in the valley who have
hewn but homes and have turned its fertile lands into
what will be--or would be--one of the richest and finest
valleys in Washington.
In this contest with the grasping city Mason County
has everything to lose. Who wonldn't fight?
, OLD-TIME POLITICS
' Nine residents, three of whom were women, consti-
tuted the mass convention ,of the Nonpartisan party of
Mason County, convened in' the Kneeland Park, Shelton,
Tuesday and gave birth to a third-party ticket for the
coming election. As the socialists own and control the
Nofipartisan movement, only a socialist could be on
guard. Mason County in a period of tgmporary mental
aberration once elected a socialist to the legislature and
became the laughing stock of the state. Luckily it
wanted nothing and that is what it got. It is unlikely
that the balance of sense and sanity will soon again be
10st in this county,
: Whatever the cost of cleaning up this administra-
tion, and it may be agreed that the several political par-
ties will spend enough to finance a young war, the peo-
ple will find it far cheaper than standing another four
years like the last.

DESTROYING THE HOME
Patrick Henry uttered an immortal
truth, though ¢ne thought was by no
means original with him, when he
said that "the home is the cradle of
American libertyY
In some respects we have strayed
far from the precepts of earlier pa-
triots, but as a nation we still chug
to the home. Mother is still the
dearest of God's creatures, we return
to our hearthstone for comfort in
sorrow and cheer in ambition, and
our laws still recognize the home as
our citadel, which we have a right
to defend, even at the sacrifice of
human life.
But, according to some, there has
arisen in the East a new star which
leadeth the way to liberty; in Soviet
Russia there is being established a

THINK IT OVER
If the newspapers should announce
some morning "Lumber industry
closes in the West," about half the
people in the states west of the
Rocldes would be directly affected
and hundre(ls of thousands would be
without jobs.
There is no danger of the lumber
indlJstry closing entirely but various
conditions can severely cripple and
curtail its development. Sawmills
and lea'gin,,, camps are among our
gceatest\\;employers of labor at good
wages and yet in the very commun-
itie.¢; that live and exist by the lum-
ber industry we will find agitators
of vmous kinds who would not hes-
itate to wreck the industry by vari-
ous methods such as labor radicalism,
legislative r a41calism and various
taxation laws to confiscate property.
And the worst feature of tile whole
business is that very often a thought-
less public which makes its living
from an industry such as lumber
will side in with the agitators to cut
off its own bread and butter, not
realizing what it is doing.
Lumber manufacturers have diffi-
cult problems to solve today in order
to keep the industry going. The new
freight rate schedules have created
problems which must be solved in
order to allow western lumber to I
compete with southern pine which,
has a Shorter haul to eastern mar- i
kets. Lumber today is the cheap-
est building material. Instead of
howling about the price of lumber,
which has necessarily increased the
same as other materials, if western
people would go ahead with their
building program which is being
delayed, they would be benefiting
themselves by helping keep in full
operation a great employifiz indus-
!try. The Southern Pacific-has an-
nounced that it expects to spend
$25,000,000 for new freight cars de-
signed to use a,minimum amount of
steel and a maximum amount of lum-
ber in their construction.
We all set back on our haunches
and howl about the shortage of
houses and the, high cost of building
when we are all of us making more
money in oroportion than we made
when building costs were down,to

Style Shoes of Quality
Shoes are the most conspicuous part of a woman's
dress. They make or mar the entire effect of her cos-
tume. To women who are in doubt as to what is fashion-
able, we suggest that they see the new models which we
have just received from Utz & Dunn, the "Style Shoes
of Quality." They are originated by the best designers,
made from the best materials and by expert workmen.
These features together with the fine quality of these
shoes should be of great value to women when selecting
their footwear.
