The splash dam at the Callow & Painter logging camp was opened, converting ]BIG BOOSTER MEETING OF PEN, the river into a torrent, and threat- INSULAR DEVELOPMENT ened inundation of the island. After waiting several hours for the CLUB AT OLYMPIA water to recede, the boy's father, MONDAY who had been fishing further down stream, threw him a rope, which the latter fastened about his waist. The boy was then hauled to the river bank. Giving anproval to the ocean route or the Olympic Highway, between the Queets and the Hoh river and asking for the completion at the earliest possible date of a temporary road on the line of tle permanent location, were the outstanding lea- :lures of the action taken by the mem- bers of the executive committee of the Olympic Peninsula Highwdy and .Development Association, and the renresentatives and senators from the counties of the peninsula at a meeting in the Chamuer of Com- • nerce here yesterday afternoon. The. meeting was pre,,.u over by President Frank H. Lamb of Ho- luiam and was the third meeti.,, of the association to be held since the or'anization. President Lamb open- • ed the meeting with a short talk and then called upon Secretary H. B. Fultz to read the minutes of the last meeting of the executive meeting held tt Shelton in September, when it was decided to call a meeting of the 4executive committee with the legis- lators here in November. At the meeting in Shelton a resolu- tion was passed by the executive ommittee recommending that "the organizatio work for an appr0pria - lion suificient to carry on work at MEN AWAIT TRIAL FOR KILLING DEER IN CLOSE SEASON WARDEN CATCHES PORT OR- CHARD MEN NEAR BELFAIR WITH THREE DEER IN POSSESSION Game Warden Will Tucker and Deputy Hank Crossman who spent about a week watching a hunter's camp in the Oak Patch country above Belfair, on Wednesdv?y' managed to land C.

President Lamb appoint- ed on the committee William Bishop of Jefferson county, Senator F. W. Loomis of Aberdeen, Representative Mark E. Reed of Mason, Represen- tative Oliver S.

The. federal government asked the county for Mr. Murdock's re, lease, as he has been engaged in live stock work in years past, and is felt to be the man for the place at Rupert. He will stay until the new appointee, believed to be Robert Cowan, a Washington State College graduate, has accustomed himself to the work. No one has been named for Miss Delvin's work. TACOMA,, PLANT NOW PRODUCES NEW PRODUCTS FIRST EXPERIMENT WITH THE MANUFACTURE OF SLAG W.OOL SUCCESSFUL Probably no more fascinating and spectacular sight has been offered in the industrial plants of the city than that given last week at the plant of the Bilrowe Alloys Plant when the first slag wool was blown from the huge electrical furnaces. For the past few weeks the com- pany has been setting up machinery and experimenting with slg ore with the view of producing slag wool. Tills wool, which resembles "a light grade of cotton, is much in demand at the :present time for insulation and pack- rag. The company, which has been man- ufacturing ferro manganese for some time, has hundreds of tons of slag and it was disco,ered that this slag, which was consldered to be useless, could be turned into slag wool at a profit. A special electrical furnace was arranged and machinery for the blowing of the wool constructed. The first attempt at blowing the wool, was made Monday night and met with SucceSs. The molten metal is run over a high pressure of steam and is shot out through a huge pipe in the form of a shower of sparks. The cooling ]roeess occurs in the air and the wool alls in a light fluffy state. A ton of slag produces a like amount of wool which has a high market value at the present time. The company by working over the slag also ol/ins from 15 to 18 per cent manganese which was not seeur:, ed in the first process o: mettmg oz the original ore. White several plants of the city have been experimenting wi ith wool, the Bilrowe fortunate in the cost of wool lies melting of Ledger. There promises to be something of a building boom all over the country with the opening of next spring, when all conditions will be fairly equable to to the builder, the material man and the workman. Recent statistics indicate that of the millions of marriages during the current year less than ten' per cent were represented in the building of new homes. Just where all the rest of the newly-weds are roosting is beyond us. It is a safe guess that few of these couples will amount to much until they acquire homes of their own and settle down somewhere to become staid citizens and fixtures in some community which offers remunerative work, good schools and the reasonable pleasures of life. There may. be better towns than Shelton but they are few. In fact after visiting many of the smaller towns of the state we have yet to find one which combines so many good features for comfort and satisfactory living. Good schools, churches, water and sewer system, hotel, bnk, the library and the new hospital are each of a class seldom found outside the cities. In fact, the foundations are well laid for a community of several times Sh_el- ton's present population; and conditions are s ly working toward such increase. Living, too, is as reasonable as anywhere, and our two apparen needs now are industries calling for more labor, and the homes in which to house them. Shelton is a town of home-owners and but little attention has been paid to the building of homes as an investment. Now that conditions prom- ise more inducement to building it is assured that a new era of real growth will begin next spring. Land price shows but little increase in recent years and is the one item which is not likely to show any decrease in the future, but if anything may in crease, tIence, intending builders might well se cure their sites at this time. In fact, the only vacant available business property on Shelton's main street changed hands this week'and the new owners promise to erect a new business building next spring. But holders of idle money should consider the fact that a score of neat modern homes renting from $15 to $20 amonth would offer a fine invest- ment. i Boston, Nov. 10.Establishment of nationwide s e 11 i n g organizations which will fix the price for farm 10roducts if the farmer does not re- ceive thesame pay for the same hours of work others receive, was predicted today by Sherman J. Low- ell of Fredonia, N. Y., master of the National Grange, at the opening of the annual convention. Lowell de- clared the reat changes ince the beginning ogthe war had ben to the disadvantage of agriculture, and many of the laws and rulings of the national govermnent had lroved an injury to the farmeis. "If no attention is paid now by bankers, manufacturers, railroads and labor organizations and if the gov- ernment continues to use its great power to import raw material free of duty to reduce costs then the Grange willbe first to help organize nation- wide selling organizations which shall ef thud price of farm products," Low- There is no threat in this but we wilt have been driven to it in self defense to preserve our agriculture," he added. NO. 49 VOTED FIRST rFOR LINCOLN It. L. Inman, one )f Mason County's pioneer residents, noticed the item m our ltarstine correspondence of another staunch Republican living at the home of Mrs. Andrews who had voted for Lincoln and at the recent election did his bit to keep his pre- cinct from going "wong," and adds a little story ofhis own. Mr. Inman cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln at the age of 19 years, while stowing in the army. He has voted fox' every succeeding Republican candidate for president, including Harding, who has just been elected by a great national landslide of votesand from his long years of observation of the country's af- fairs says that he has never found cause to regret his party choice. RED CROSS ROLL CALL NOW UNDER WAY NOT DRIVE OLICITORS MERELY ASKING PAYMENT OF ANNUAL ONE DOLLAR MEMBER STIIP IN NATIONAL ORGANI- ZATION The annual Red Cross Roll Call which is going on this week is not a "drive" and should not be re- garded as such, according to the statement of County Chairman Loop. The solicitors are asking nothing more than the payment of the annual dues of one dollar for membership in the National Red Cross. According to the chairman there are a number of people who do not understand the nature of the solicita- tion and are confusing it with the many "drives" which have been car- ried on in the past. The dollar pays membership in the organization for one.year and there can be no more dues collected until a year from this date. Material has been sent out to every community in the county and the woi'k is under way but as yet no reports have been received br the 'chairman. The cpntinued . rmn is somewhat delaying the worzers u it is expected that the entire county will have been solicited within the next week. In town the high school girls are  willingly donating  their time to the xork. The toxn has been divided into districts so that each person is soil.cited in his home, regardless of where he works. No one can be solicited twice. The chairman asks that prompt and courteous treatment be given the young solicitors. A detailed report of the member- ship and collections wil be published at the conclusion of the work. SHIPPING HARDWOODS Two carloads of hardwood lumber 'cut by the Morris Johnson mill tn the Skokomish valley, went out by carf, erry yesterday, and two more cars are being loaded from the mill of the Tacoma Cabinet Works for shipment to that city. The better grades go to San Francisco works, and the poorer stuff fihds some use at the Tacoma plant. It is reported that the price of hardwood lumber, made from maple and alder logs, has other classes of lumber the better grades are now It is likely that the cutting of our hardwoods will slacken until demand opens in the spring. BOY LOSES HIS LIFE IN UNLOADING LOGS GAS ENGINE BOLT CAUSES DEATH OF SKOKOPlISH MAN GEORGE CAMERON KILLED LAST THURSDAY WHEN STRIUCK BY FLYWHEEL OF HEAVY FARM ENGINE George W. Cameron, one of the leading frowners of the Skokomish Valley, met a shocking, death last Thhrsday afternoon while doing his evening milking. There was no wit- nesses to the accident, and what hap- ened to the unfortunate farmer can e surmised from conditions sur- rounding the case. Mr. Cameron had gone to the barn to do the milk- ing and when his wife noticed that he had been longer than usual she went out to investigate and found her husband lyin on the engine room floor unconscmus. Failing to arouse him she attempt- ed to drag him k, to the house but soon found herself unequal to the task. The telephone system being out of order she was unable to call in the emergency and was forced to walk a half mile to the nearest neighbor, Joe Vail, to summon help andthe doctor. Returning with help the still un- conscious man was removed to the house and Dr. Richter reached the home soon after, but Mr. Cameron had died before his arrival. On o.- amination it was found that both legs were broken, the back of one hand was skinned and a severe cut was made in the back of his head, evidently the result of getting his clothing caught in a bolt protruding from the flywheel of the gasoline engine. The engine, whi'ch was a large one used for operating lights, feed and silage cutters and other heavy power as well ,as :the milking apparatus, was not affected by the acdent but continued to run until closed down, and the only evidence of the damage it had done was on the person ,of the unfortunate i victim. The remains were brought to Shel- tn for preparation and shipped Mon- day to Renton, where the funeral was held Tuesday afternoon. Reton is the former home of Mrs. Cneron, who was married about fifteen months ago and came to join hr husband in building up the farm. Deceased"was a native of Canada, born in t881, and is highly spoken of by his neighbors in the valley. Gee. W. Cameron and Chas. F. Wamsley joined early last year in the pin'chase of the Fleming farm, which next to the Webb fmn is the largest in the Skokomish Valley. They made considerable improvement duri'ng the year: added lugh grade stock and cleared more of the good lamls which had lain idle for a gen- eration. In February of this year Mr. Cameron took over the entire interest of his iociate,in both the farm and the stock and machinery added since the original purchase, and the latter was working hard to carry through the burden he had assumed. He was making a success of the farm and expected to show a consid- erable gain for the year in spite of the loss of a large field of hay due to early rains. About twenty cows were being milked and the cream shipped to Seattle• 'The improvements made on the farm during the past two years include a fine new farm house rebuilt barrL silo and other outbuildings, power and light plant, milking machine, Fordson tractor, and other machinery and equipment enabling the handling of the farm with little outside help. The farm represents an investment of about $25,000. _. CECIL MILLER IS INSTANTLY KILLED AT LOGGING CAMP AT MUD BAY Cecil B. Miller, young son of Ira Miller, was crnshed to death under a log being unloaded from logging trucks last Friday afternoon at the dump on the Highway at Mud Bay. The boy, who was about 17, had been driving a logging truck and was alone hen killed. It is sup- no d he was caught by a log when he loosened the load. From the nature of the injury, which was on the head, the victim never knew wlat had struck him.
