• . . . z WEEKLY LUMBER REVIEW BONUS PAYMENTS MADE .... A rwuttural News t FROMCENE00F00 By County Agriculturist H. E. Drew t IN UPWARD TREND OF -------- POULTRY EXPERT COMING Mr. W. D. Buchanan, Poultry Ex- pert of the Extension SetTice, Wash- ington State College, will be in Ma- son County October 26 and 27 to give demonstrations in poultry cull- ing. At that time several flocks will be culled and the culls will be tested out with the rest of the flock, to demonstrate the efficiency of the cull- ing methods used.

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. C. M. HUBBARD, Extension Livestock Specialist, State College of Washington. SHELTON VALLEY I Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Madden and children and Mrs. A.

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. l SKOKOMISH VALLEY I Mr. anti Mrs. Joe Vail spent the day at Eldon Sunday last and had a fine time. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bell spent an enjoyable time at the Puyallup Fair last eek. Mrs. Fred Leber has gone to Se- attle to purchase fmishings for their remodeled hqme. Miss Anita Richert has rcturned 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.

[000le John, The Sign o[ a Service At First.class Garag i and other Dealers 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. J. W. Woods. Potlatch, Oet. 8, 1921.

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 . -,; ........ ......... , * , . ,..

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. GEORGE T. HOOD, Mgr., Metropolitan Theatre, Seattle.
