SUPPORT THE WESTERN ROYAI
AND PACIFIC INTERNATION-
: AL SHOWS
There has been a perceptible im-
provement in the quality of livestock
on the farms of the Pacific North-
•vest since 909, and a careful analysis
of the situation shows that this im-
lorovement can be laid at the doors
,of our livestock shows more than to
any other or all other factors com-
bined.
Interest in high class seed live-
stock in this section was awakened
by the Lewis and Clarke Show held
at Portland in 1905; was stimulated
by the Alaska-Yukon Pacific Show
at Seattle in 1909; and has been fur-
her spurred on up to the present by
the Western Royal Shows of Spo-
kane, the Pacific International of
Portland and the Lewiston Stock
.Shows in Idaho.
These shows have not set any pre-
eedent in livestock improvement
work; in fact, livestock improvement,
better breeding, feeding and man-
agement--has gone hand in hand
with the livestock shows of every
:section of this country and of the
old country. Until the community
and 'county shows and the Royal
Show and the Smithfield shows were
established in England, no great pro-
gress in the production of superior
seed stock was accomplished. With
these shows established, there began
the greatest era of livestock improve-
ment work--with market stock as
well as purebreds--ever seen in any
ountry up to the present time. Every
one, (rein king to commoner was,
and still is, interested in the shows
and good stock; everyone was inter-
ested in the principles of livestock
breeding, feeding and management
until today, as a result, Great Britain
is a synonym for good cattle, good
sheep and swine and good horses,
throughout the civilized worhl. May
we not profit by this example?
If we have bulls or boars for sale
is not the present, when prices are
low, the most opportune time to sell
urebred sires of merit to those who
ave been using grades and scrubs
and so help toward a more efficient
livestock production throughout this
section? Mr. Buyer, good sires are
cheaper now than they will be for
several years to come. Can you af-
ford to miss this opportunity? If
you are a breeder of improved stock
the Western Royal and Pacific Inter-
national Shows are fountain heads
where you may compete with and
study the. best animal types in the
country. These shows give every
promise of being stronger, not only
numerically, but also in quality, than
last year's shows. They merit your
attendance and support.

ORDERS
Seattle, Oct. 6--Unusual cara'o
buying coupled with seasonable ac-
tivity on the part of tile Western
retail trade sent the record of new
lumber business to the highest point
in nearly two years, during the week
ending Octohe, st.
One hundred and three mills par-
ticipating in the weekly report to
West Coast Lumbermen's Association
which show 81,853,802 feet of new
businessman average of 794,687 f(iet
per mill.
New business for delivery by water
amounted to 31,872,802 feet or 39 pc]
cent of the total of all new business
The coastwise and inter-coastal busi-
ness amounted to 16,300,661 feet; ex-
port, 15,572,141 feet.
In the trade calling for delivery by
rail, a total of 1,666 cars was taken
on for future delivery, as against
shipments of 1,392 cars. The un-
snipped balance in tlle rail trade is
3,521 ears which is approximately
9,000 cars short of normal.
Shipments totaled 60,223,600 feet,
of which 41,760,000 feet, moved by
rail. Coastwise and inter-coastal
clearances totaled 12,21:5,291 feet, and
export cargoes 6,248,309 feet.
With the influx of new business
production was 62,125,236 feet or 18
per cent below normal.
The upward trend of orders is not
calculated to produce any wild pros-
perity interviews from practical or
experienced lumbermen. It .has more
earmarks of a temporary spurt rather
than a buying movement of stability.
In fact, there is said to be a strong
element of spe'culation in tile situa-
tion, such as has characterized South-
ern pine (luring the month of Sep-
tember, with wholesalers buying on
speculation against she1% stocks at
the mills.
On the West Coast mill stocks are
badly, broken. There is a marked and
growing shortage of upper grades
with a very limited supply of avail-
able clear logs.

STATE BUYS MILLION DOLLAR
BOND TO COMPLETE
PAYMENTS
On hchalf of the state general fun(1
Treasurer C. L. Babcock last Satur-i
day tmrchased one million dollar
bond, the largest ever isqmd by this
state, which was authorized earlier
in the (lay by the state financial
committee to provide funds to pay
sohliers' bonus claims. The finance
committee decided sale of warrants
to the banks might he difficult if
an attempt was made to hold the in-
terest at 5 per cent, the legal rate,
instead of 6 per cent, as had been
expected. The investment of the
state's general fund in the bonus
fund bond was made possible through
an accumulation of moneys from poll
taxes.
When the Supreme Court author-
ized the finance committee to con-
tinue the issuance of bonds for pay-
ment of bonus claims, 1593 claims
had been checked, but had not been
passed for payment, while 1500 other
claims had not yet been given a pre-
liminar)z examination. Immediately
the 159} claims were sent to the au-
ditor's office for issuace of warrants
and now the remaining 1500 claims
have been checked, most of them be-
ing found regular.
John A/ Frater, who is in charge
of the bonus department, estimates
most of the claims held for further.
details can be passed for payment
within a month. It is estimated,
though, that about 2,000 Washington
veterans have not yet presented
clauns for bonuses; there always is
much delay in untanlein¢ applica-
tions in which rotors have been made
when the claimants have moved or
delay furnishing information asked.
So. these straggling claims will re-
qmre a continuance of a small check-
ing force for an indefinite period.
In addition there are several hun-
dred ciaimants who enlisted in the
regular army or navy prior to Apt'i]
6, 1917, whose clains now cannot
be paid until the legislature gives
relief for the Supreme Court has
held that under the present law such
veterans were not voted a bonus
Most of the "regulars' had
their__ bonuses [)efore the CourtsreC'eivedde-
e]smn was rendered and the bonus
department believes the rest will be
paid after the legislature meets.

WRITER WOULD TAX
LANDS AT FIGURES
ASKED BY 0WHEN
THINKS LOGGED LANDS COULD
BE GIVEN STATE FOIl SOL-
DIER PROJECTS
Editor, Journal: The writer'notic-
ed a very commendable editorial in
last weel's Journal, entitled: "Log-
ged-off Lands Ior Soldiers, and hav-
ing arrived at an age when he does
not fear to speak his sentiments with-
out fear of giving offense to some
important persons, begs leave to add
a few lines in regard to those holding
"logged-off lands."
We notice first that whenever there
s a proposition of the state to buy
land the price goes up far above its
value; second, those logged-off lands
originally cost the owners much less
than th value of the timber that
has been taken off them and the
owners eouhl well afford to give them
to the state for nothing.
Thirdly, the best of those lands are
not worth any more than it costs to
clear them and that selling hem, to
a poor man for even one dollar an
acre may be an extortion.
Big men and state officials who
handle, other people's money, must
ask and pay big prices and think
the property is valuable because it
is held by big men.
An example of what the state pays
for lands for its institutions may be
found in the Soldiers' Homes at er-
ring and Bremerton. Just as good
and better located sites could have
been obtained for one-third or one-
quarter the money.
The only remedy I can see for the
state of affairs, is to tax the lands
of non-residents who are making no
effort to improve them, at their
asking price.

A CARD OF GREAT IMPORTANCE,
Sdmetimes a theatrical event happens of such great importance
that it stands out above everything else during the current season
like a beacon light in the history of human progress.
Such an event is now about to occur in this city. Every once
in a while I have tile pleasure and the honor of presenting some ex-
traordinary attraction of great magnitude. Owing to my previous
experience on such special occasions I desire to serve ample warning
to my patrms of an opportunity that should not be neglected so
that they may secure scats well in advance.
The extraordinary attraction which I am now about to present
to my patrons is the big spectacular and sensational offering"Aphro-
tite," which created such a furm'e in New York a season ago at the
.%ntury Theatre in that city, and which was the sensation of Paris
when originally presented there prior to its New York production.
1 have just completed arrangements with Messrs. F. Ray Corn-
stock and Morris Gest whereby this gigantic offering in all of its
Oriental beauty and magnificence will be presented at the METRO-
POL1TAN TIIEATRE week commencing Sunday evening, Oct. 30th.
Matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
Theatre-goers who keep in touch with theatrical events do not
need to be reminded of the extraordinary demand for seats which
ook place in New York when "AphroditC' was first presented.
T"
tckets were eagerl. bought up by speculators, who sold them for
as high as $200 each for the opening night. The newspapers de-
clared the play a sensation. The theatre was packed to the doors
for tile entire season and thousands of people were turned away
during the extraordinary New York engagement.
t Now Messrs. Comstock and Gest are presenting "Auhrodite" on
our with this enormous corn an o o . -,; ........
......... , * , . ,.. P . y f 3.00..people, )vth 10 .s ........
pmo(ue wnen none m 'ans was hailed as tile world's greatest
and most sensational play. It has since duplicated that success in
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston. It will be presented
here in all of its resplendent glory.
Owing to intense interest in the engagement, MAIL ORDERS for
this important theatrical event will now be received. Send remittance
with self-addressed stamped envelope for return of tickets, and as
there will unquestionably be an avalanche of mail orders, please
name choice of two performances to insure getting seats.
Prices: Nights, $1, $1.50, $2, $2.50 and $3..Wednesday Matinee
$1, $1.50 and $2...Saturday Matinee, $1, $1.50 $2.0{], $2.50. Add 10
oer cent for war tax.
I believe the engagement of "Aphrodite" will be the most sensa-
tionally successful event in the history of this theatre.
