VOLUME XXXVI. NO. I COUNTY SUFFERS SLIGHT D00GE POSTOFFICE REMOVAL IS NOW PLANNED FOR NEXT SUNDAY MORNING Owing to the failure of certain essential fixtures in time it was found FROM RAIN STORMI inaddsable to attempt moving the Shelton Postoffice last Sunday but is expected that the removal can effected TRAFFIC TIED UP BY FLOOD BUT NO SERIOUS LOSS INCUR- RED--OTHER DISTRICTS RAVAGED On Monday night the worst rainy spell in nearly ten years petered out but while it lasted almost the record for this section. According to "the nearest observer, at Detroit, in Mason County, the fall in the twelve days of December reached twelve inches, although two-thirds fell during Sun- day and Monday. All the streams vere bankfull, roads were under- mined, culverts washed out and slides blocked, while the autos had •their troubles in getting over the soft roads. Fortunately, there were no fatali- ties or even serious damage any- where in Mason County, although all over the state towns were flood- ed, reads impassable and traffic "blocked. The property damage, in the :aggregate of the small items runs into the million, and probably a score .of deaths have resulted. The wreck on the Clemens railroad due to slide cost four lives,' three went down when a Great Northern train went through a bridre, a slide in Seattle demolished several houses and cost three lives, and here and there slmi- lap unforeseen occurences each Cost a life or two. Had the rain continued another" day the record would have been doubled. • Traffic wa held up for a day on the lower Satsop road and also in he Skokomish valley, and a slide hlodeod the Navy Yard highway near Tie]fair, but the waters receded quick- ly and the repairs .were soon made.

STAGE FAKE HOLD-UP OF VALUABLE CARGO :OF CANADIAN LIQUOR HEAD OF ILLICIT TRADE PAYS SHERIFF VISIT , IN HUNT FOR STOLEN WHISKY Last Sunday evening a swift launch with a "put-put" like a twelve-cyl- inder racing plane, skimmed along over the waters of Hood Canal at close to 20 knots an hour, but its skiuper must have smelt danger in a bunch of officers stationed along .he Olympic highway near the usual :ending place and "steered for the lpper Canal. Landing at Happy Hol- low on the Navy Yard highway a truck and several autos were waiting and rumor has it that a valuable cargo of Canadian liquor was trans- ferred and preceded by a pilot car came out by way of Shelton. At least a Shelton citizen was hem up on the Webb hill that night by the caravan until the runners could determine whether his car contained a" posse of revenue men or not, and this is the only evidence that the contraband came this way. This week Sheriff Ports had a visitor from Seattle, none other than Jack Barrett, the head of the illicit trade who was caught in one of his runs through here some weeks ago. Mr. Bmett was seeking to locate a valuable cargo of liquor, claimed to be worth $25,000, which his run- nershad reported captured by the local sheriff, and after a talk here a bright llght struck Mr. Barrett. His runners returned to Seattle emp- ty handed and reported that Sheriff Potts and his posse had held them up again by throwinga truck acoss the road and had taken their cargo away. It now appears that the alleged "hold-up" was staged and that the second thieves got away with Mr. Barrett's liquor,beat the sheriff to it, and he can't even '§ueai." Bar- rett, who by the way clmms to have made $100,000 in trafficking in Can- adian liquor, will have his trial in the federal court in Tgcoma this week on the old charge. FOUR NATIONS SIGN PACIFIC ALLIANCE UNITED STATES ADDS TWO RES- ERVATIONS TO ITS SANCTION OF DOCUMENT Washington, D. C., Dec. 13.--The new four, power Pacific treaty was signed formally today, but the Ameri- can delegates affixed their signatures subject to a written reservation that the treaty should not affect the Ameri- can policy towards mandates nor cov- er any controversy involving a ques- tion within, the domestic jurisdiction of any power. In turn, the plenipo- tentiaries of the United States, Great Britain, France and Japan placed their signatures upon the treaty and later signed 'copies, both in English and French, of the American reserva- tion. The reservation is in two parts, the first calculated to cover tempor- arily the q.uesion of Yap and other mandated slands which are to be made the subject of special treaty. The second clause declared that all questions which, "according to princi- ples of international law lie eelus- ively within the domestic jurisdiction of the respective powers," shall be considered outside the scope of "the treaty. The text of the American reserva- tion follows: t ViB itih.? nmi t ir eS,! YSn ct°e::A:seaY  it is de'cl'ared to be the understanding and intent of the signatory powers: "I "h " That the treaty shall apply to e mandated islands in the Pacific Ocean; provided, however, that the making of the treat.v shall not be deemed to be an assent on the part of the United States of America to the mandates, and shall not preclude agreements between the United States of America and the mandatory powers respectively in relation to the mandated islands. "2. That the controversies to which the second paragraph of Arti- cle I refers shall not be taken tv em- brace questions which, according to principles of international law, lie exclusively within the domestic juris- diction of the respective lowers." The signing was wholly without 'ceremony and devoid of historic set- ting excels( for the portraits of a score of former secretaries of state which looked down from the four walls of the ante room. ALUMNI-HOME ECONOMIC BAZAAR SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR iT he Christmas Bazaar given here o/itly by'. the High" School Alumni and the H6me Economics Club proved a big su'ceess and netted a consider- able sum to each of the organiza- tions.

The main discussion of the evening was over the advis- ability of boosting the oyster con- sumption among the public by an advertising campaign, and it was agreed to raise a fund for this pur- pose. There was no change in the price, which holds at $10 a sack. The visiting oystermen were: G. W. Ingham, George and Walter Dra- ham; arl and Charles Brenner and son Walter; Frank Gunder; Dudley Simmons; John Blass; Peter Sehmdt, E. N. Steele, the secretary; Jacob Morrow and E. L. Van Epps of Olym- pia; Oscar Zandell, Allyn; J. Will Waldrip and the Dan Lynch's, senior and junior from Kamilehe. Among the home 'rowers were Donate and Angus O'Neill, Joe Deer, C. I. Pritchard, J. W. Gasser, M. E. Reed, Frank. Chester, F. Schroeder and Dick Butler. SOME CHRISTMAS CItEER THAT WILL NOT CHEER Sheriff Pot(s, assisted by the rev- enue men, took up the trail to Lake Cushman last Sunday and looked into a couple of cabins near the Pimenix camps hunting for the source of "moonshine" in that neighborhood, and while they did not find any of the finished product mash was located in two places• In one about forty gallons of raisins were ripening into condition to be made into a brew while in the other was 25 gallons of mash intended for distilling into "hard stuffY In neither was any sort of distilling apparatus found and the officers had to be satisfied 'with destroying the mash. In one case a woman and several small children were the only occupants and the Warning was given against the prac- ti'ce of making "home brew" while in the other the occupant of the cabin had been gone a week and no one seemed to know anything about him. FIFTH VICTIM OF LOGGING CAMP SLIDES IS DEAD Hoquiam, Tuesday, Dec. 13.--The death of John Lind, late last night at the Aberdeen General Hospital, makes a total of five fatalities as a result of 'the two slides Sunday night at the Clemens Logging camp, east .there. Hospital authorities state this morning the condition of A. W. Hussy is much improved and Ira M. Elliott is expected to recover. Anoth- er slide late yesterday afternoon has delayed work of clearing away the mass of debris from Sunday night's wreck, and the body of Mrs. Gerald Willis has not yel: been recovered. Nb trace of W. T. Labelle has been found, and it is generally believed he was caught in the downcrash of earth. The two-year-old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Willis• Ernest .leon, 45, construction camp laborer. The injured: W. A. ttussey. 33, brakeman, right le broken below knee; both legs badly bmned; John IAnd, 42, construction (:amp laborer, crushed by debris, unconscious and perhaps fatally injured. Ira Elliott, brakeman, acting" as fireman, was slightly 'cut and bruised. Tile slides occurred between 10 and 11 o'clock at a point eight miles south east of Melbourne. An early tr'dn carrying hetween 40 and 50 men to camp, passed over the track safely earlier in the eveninm When the second engine entered the stretch" at the top of a high embankment the earth slid from beneat:h it, carrying it: and the first cars of the train down 200 feet. Willis• his wife and ehiht were killed outrhdt. F,1llott, the only member of the crew able to go for hid, ran to a nearby construction camp nod return- ed with a rescue party. IIttrdly had the work begun when the second slide occurred, earryinlr the rescuers and wreckage down the slope. SMALL CONSOLATION FROM SCANDINAVIANS The second dividend of ten per cent has just been declared to de- posltors of the Scan(linavian Ameri- can Bank of Tacoma, making twenty per cent so far, which is more conso- lution than the Seattle Scandinavian's large body of depositors get. Ar- rangement's made by the banks tied up under the state guaranty fund to reorganize the latter concern have fallen through and an assessment on this fund has been made by the state officers to give the depositors some relief. As the state guaranty fund is not large enough to pay much of he claims and many of the banks ae serving notice of withdrawals depositors must rely largely on the resources of the defunct institution for. what returns they get in future• The situation is unfortunate and shows the weakness as well as un- fairness of the state guaranty idea,- that the sound banks must make up the losses of the badly managed con- cerns. While there are some deposi- tors in Mason County with funds tied up in the two defunct banks, the State Bank of Shelton is not af- fected as it kept clear of the State guaranty fund. METHODIST CHRISTMAS TREE ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23RD The Christnas Tree and Special Exercises will be held at the Method- ist Episcopal church on Friday eve- ning, December 23rd. Everyone is invited to attend. A fine program has been prepared by the Sunddavy School for the occasion. A BANNER YEAR IN 1922 The forerunner of an immense prospective trade in lumber from the devastataed sections of Europe is an order which the French government has just plac- ed with a Chicago buyer for 240,000,000 feet of low grade American lumber. The purchases are to be made on a three-year delivery contract and will be started as soon as financial arrangements have been perfected. The assurance is given that a good share, if no most of the lumber to fill the order will come from the Northwest nlills and be shipped in lumber carriers through the Canal direct to France. This order alone would keep the logging camps and mills of the Northwest running most of next year, and gives assurance of big business in the lumber trade for several years to come. Then there are other countries to be heard from, and in our own country the yards of the middle states are low on lumber and their orders will be coming in with the new year, further assurance that 1922 will be one of the best years in the: history of lumbering in the Northwest. With the demand expected from the railroads and the impetus renewed prosperity will give to home building and the use of lumber general- ly over the country, and with the further incentive of reduced freight rates, it now seems sure that nothing can happen to interfere with this prosperity. It now looks as though 1922 will be the "big year" we have been longing for, lo, these many years. It will be if everybody gets optimistic, says so and tugs at the rope. CAMPS WILL CLOSE THURSDAY, DEC. 23RD FOR TWO WEEKS ONLY The holidays are at hand and the ]ngging camps of Mason County will be closed next Thursday, Dec. 22nd, foc the usual holiday shut-down. Tle loggers employed by thd Simpson compa[ny will come down in force rldy morning, cash m, and go their seve}'al ways for two weeks of en-, j%hent. According to all report. tlte log market is showing mote :'ength and the demand is improved ,ith shol supplies in the water .nd 'at the mil!s. The Simpson LogNing 'Company expects to resume opera- tions January 4th. FREIGHT SERVICE OVER PAVED ROAD CLAIMED BY TWO STEAMER COMPANY CONTENDS GRANTING WILL CRIPPLE THEIR SERVICE A delegation of Shelton citizens appeared before the department of public works at Olympia Tuesday to protest against the allowance of the application of the B. & M. Auto Company to extend its Tacoma- Olympia freight service to Shelton. The entire day was spent in hearing witnesses for each of the contending parties, there beine three interests involved in the matter. The B. & M. Company ah'eady operates a freight service between Tacoma and Olympia and, while it made no 'claim of prior service, urg- ed its advantage over any indepen- (lent service to Shelton. The Shelton Trmsportation coral)any opnosed the claim on the grounds that their stea- mer was alrea(ly affording cheap and adequate )assenger nd freight service between Tacoma and Shelton, and if an auto freight line is permitted from Tacoma direct it wiq likely se- cure enough of the small and lighter freighis to make the loss too great to contimm the steamer service and Shelton and the hay community will lose their boat. The third party in interest in the hearing" was the Johnson & Wivel] Transfer Company, which also had SIX MILES MORE PAVING PROSPECT FOR NEXT SITdNG COMMISSIONERS FAVOR USE OF ROA1) BOND MONEY WITH FEDERA, L AID TO EXTEND PAVING TO MILL CREEK After several .essions in x:hich the County Commissioners and interested citizens joined with the ste high- way board in discussing vays and means of continuing the Olympk highway paving plan in Mason Coun- ty, agreement was reached this week entirely satisfactory to the local, board and doubtless equally accept- able to the people of this county. The progrmn contemplates the pav- ing about six miles to the bridge across Mill Creek using jointly fed- oral aid and county bond Tunds, and recommending to the next legislature, which is as far as the state officials can go, appropriations for taking the paving on to intersection with the Navy Yard highway• Governor Hart, Commissioner Al- len amt the state highway board have taken considerable interest in improv- ing the Olympic highway, and ,it was througl, their efforts that tile four mile connection of paving was gained this season beyond what was expected. This was possible largely through federal aid and for next year further aid from this source is avail- able, bug not in as large proportion as for the work already clone. There will he availnble for the hi'hway $70,000 in federal aid, and if further paving is ,lone in 1(.)22 the rest of the funds must be provided by Ma- son County from its bond issue which was voted for the pnrpose of paving only• Estimatinr that if bids can be called and let early in the year lower prices will be secured, it will require .omethinff over $100,000 from tle cmmty.fund to complete the six mile.q of pawng. One of the points which c:msed some trouble was the market- ing of the bonds, but this has been provided for and the Mason County Cmnm ssioners will meet Monday with the prseent intention of taking official action to fmvard the paving project for next year.

STATE PROTECTING SALMON STREAMS The attitude of the state fisheries board,in resisting an effort by the city of Tacoma to divert waters of the Skokomish .river by flume to a proposedpower plant on Hood Canal near Hoodsport, is erie the board will assume toward all power projects or other schemes for diverting waters of salmon spawning streams. It is contended by the fisheries board that only (luring five months of the year could more water be ob- tained by the Hoodsport scheme than by locating a power plant on the Skokomish river where natural spawning beds, an eyeing station, fish hatchery and natural oyster beds could be protected. The in'ceres( the fisheries board has in such cases aside from protecting existing state property is the value of the food fish that would be de- stroyed. Thus far no official show- ing of the suspected loss by, the di- Version of the Skoltomish river has been submitted, but it is estimated the annual value of salmon raised on the Skokomish and caught by fishermen after reaching maturity runs between $100,000 and $200,000. The Skokomish river was further protected this year by the fisheries board's order that created a "rest area" on upper Hood Canal to keep fishermen away from salmon pre- paring to ascend the streams to spawn. In his decision upholding the fish- cries board, Superior Court Judge D. F. Wright of Thurston county in dis- cussing the question of ondemning fish and oyster propagation lands owned by the state said: "This land is held by the state in its govern- mental capacity and, in my opinion, is no more subject to condemnation than the state capitol grounds." examinations for selection of nomi- nees for the Annapolis Naval Acad- emy.
