Pg. 1, col. 5 ELBE CELEBRATES THE FOURTH (By Elbe Correspondent) Twenty five years ago this coming Fourth, the first 4th of July Celebration was held in Elbe on what is now, the bed of the Nisqually river, near the Elbe Bridge, the river having changed its course in the mean time. The timber at that time being so dense, as to make it difficult to find the picnic grounds. No railroad was in existence through these parts at that time. Several families who were present at that celebration will honor us with their presence on July 4th, 1917 at which time the Elbe people will hold a basket picnic at the Park, with dancing both after noon and evening at the Gym with a program and races to help make the day interesting.

Cannedy, born at St. Thomas, North Dakota, Sept. 25, 1883, passed away, Saturday morning June 23rd, 1917 at her home in Pleasant Valley. Her death came as a great shock to her many friends and relatives, she having died very suddenly, of heart failure.

ALDER NEEDS ROAD WORK By Alder Correspondent. Frank Criswell, road foreman, is working on the branch roads leading out of Alder. He says he will probably have two or three weeks work here. We hope he will make it two months as there are some roads in this vicinity that are practically in an impassable condition. Especially is that true of the Hedborg road. Mr. Hedborg has been trying for years to get some work done on his road, but without avail. Mr. Hedborg has been a resident of this vicinity for nearly thirty years and has always taken an active part in the welfare of this community. He has built up a beautiful farm through many years of hard work and the only road that he has leading to his place is a road he built himself. This road in several places crosses private property and if it were not for the kindness of the owners of the property in permitting him to cross he would not even have a way to get out. The condition is deplorable and it would seem to us that Mr. Hedborg is entitled to some consideration with the view of obtaining a little help from the County in building a road so that he could at least get in and out. We do not wish to infer that Mr. Hedborg is the only one that lives in that section. Oh, no; there are several others, but we are just citing his case which is invariably true of the other farmers who live on this so called road. JAMES WILLIAM JENSEN By Mud Lake Correspondent. The funeral of James William Jensen, who was crushed between two logs and killed instantly, at Tidewater camp where he was employed as a choker-man was held Tuesday at Muck Creek cemetery, and the large number of friends who attended, demonstrated the esteem they held for the departed. "Jimmie" as he was known by his school-mates and friends was born at Mud Lake, April 26th, 1894, 23 years ago. He was a thoughtful and loving son and brother. He was the only support of his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Antone Jensen. Those who knew him out side of the family circle, will remember his as a bright, intelligent young man. Those surviving him besides his parents are three sisters; Mrs. Avilda Gustafson, Mrs. Orris Russel and Miss Minnie Jensen all resident of this neighborhood. They have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends. Pg. 2, col. 1 EXEMPTION BOARDS The local exemption boards for the draft law will soon be in operation, deciding who shall be included and who exempted from military service. They will be guided by regulations soon to be issued by the war department. However, the boards will have to exercise a high degree of sound judgment. There will no doubt, be numerous request for exemptions on various grounds and political pressure, with personal influence will be exerted by some to evade the draft. Fair dealing without fear or favor is the only course the boards can pursue. Disappointments will be many. The lot of the boards is one that calls for courage, with honesty and patriotism. They will determine what young men between the ages of 21 and 31 are subject to the draft. These men will first be selected by lot and then the local exemption boards will pass on whether they will be called or not. There will be boards of appeal whose decision will be final, except that the President may modify or reverse any decision. Criticism of the boards should be with held unless it is shown positively they are unjust. We do not envy them their task. LETTER FROM BEARDSLEY The editor has received a letter from Wm. Beardsley, former instructor in the local high school, also leader of Eatonville's Brass Band. The letter follows: Dear friend Vaughn: I am enjoying life immensely this summer. I have entire charge of the big ranch and dairy. We milk between 100 and 150 cows depending on the time of the year. All the milk and cream is bottled and sold to Spokane's fancy trade. We get 17 cents a quart for milk. Perhaps it would be of interest to know something of the care taken to get clear milk here. We have four big concrete barns. The cows are put in the barn and curried and washed. The milkers then don clean white suits and milk into a pail almost covered. Each man milks 30 cows. Each cow's milk is weighed as soon as milked and taken to the milk house where it is run over a cooler that is cooled by brine. The temperature is very cold. The milk comes off at about 32 degrees, or temperature cold enough to freeze water. The bottles and all utensils used are thoroughly washed and put into a steam room and sterilized before the milk is place in them. The milk when bottled is placed in crates and cracked ice placed around the bottles and taken at once to Spokane to be delivered. Milk is very easily contaminated and extreme care must be taken with it. It is a very good medium for bacterial growth. Bacteria do not thrive where it is cold so milk must be cooled immediately upon milking and kept cool. The barns are cleaned and scrubbed with a hose twice a day. It takes about three hours for a regular milker to milk 30 cows. The milkings are just twelve hours apart. Here we milk at 6 o'clock morning and evening. The farm is located about 10 miles from Spokane on "The Little Spokane" River. It is very pretty here. Keeps me pretty busy looking after everything but the work is interesting. Yours, truly, Wm. Beardsley P. S. I miss the band. CITIZENSHIP IMPOSES DUTY Citizens of a free nation owe a duty, not only to their country and themselves, but to the whole world, to humanity. There is hardly a moment in the life of any man when some sacrifice for liberty and free government is not called for. This is as true in peace as in war. The lesson is being impressed on the national conscience today as it has not been before for many years. LAST WHITE HOUSE CELEBRATION The last great Fourth of July celebration given at the White house took place on the final Fourth of President Lincoln, in 1864, when it was the scene of a mammoth Sunday school festival of colored people, during which the president's guests presented him with a large gold mounted Bible bound in purple velvet. Pg. 2, col. 2 True patriotism is not a sentiment, but a live. Understood in any other way it is a delusion. If all Americans were to live easy, luxurious, and self centered lives without a thought of their country our liberties would not last over night. Fortunately that is not the case. There is an inspiration in the freedom that we inherit for the most part keeps Americans true to their ideals and faithful to duty. Pg. 2, col. 4 LOCAL AND PERSONAL Mrs. S. H. Elmlund went to Seattle the early part of the week to visit her son William who is working on a boat. Harry Elmlund is now with the Marines at Vallejo, Cal.

More experience than the Tenderfoot is supposed to possess is required for this particular event. PREPARATIONS COMPLETED FOURTH A GLORIOUS ONE With the Fourth of July only a few days off the windup of preparations for a fitting celebration thereof is going merrily on in Tacoma, where probably the biggest celebration of years will be brought to a close in a blaze of glory on the night of Independence Day with the magnificent fireworks program. Arranged for one of the chief items of interest on the two-day program of events is the first running of the big Western classic automobile race, the Pacific Coast Championship, a 150-mile affair, which has been augmented by the Pacific Coast Championship Consolidation, and a 50-mile race. This program has been arranged to start at 2:30 in the afternoon of the Fourth and will be finished in plenty of time for attendance at the Stadium in the evening, thus giving people who only want to spend one day or half a day in Tacoma a chance to see the two big features of the program. There are now 11 entries in the big feature race, and the first championship the Pacific Coast has ever seen will probably witness the fastest race that has ever been run on the Tacoma course. The championship will be run first, and twenty minutes afterward the 50-mile event for non-winners in the first race will be started. To add to the attractiveness of the races the management has reduced the prices until they are within the reach of everybody, the general admission being only $1.00 and the grand stand only from 25 cents extra up. Automobile admission has been reduced to $1.00 for the field, and $1.00 extra for each occupant of the car.

Germany has 1,690,731 prisoners including 17,474 officers; Austria Hungary, 1,092,005; Bulgaria 67,582 and Turkey 23,903, a total of 2, 874,271 prisoners of whom 27, 620 are officers. This total is made up of the following nationalities, showing the total number and prisoners in Germany respectively: Russian, 2,080, 699. . . . . 1,212,007 French, 368,607. . . . . . 367,124 Serbian, 154,630. . . . . 25,879 Italian, 98,017 . . . . . . . . -------- Rumanian, 79,033 . . . . . 10,157 British, 45,241 . . . . . . 33,129 Belgian, 42,437 . . . . . 42,435 Montenegrin, 5,607 . . . . . ------- The British prisoners of war not in Germany are divided between Bulgaria and Turkey. Texas produces in the neighborhood of 5,000,000 bales of cotton a year, yet the state turns out only enough cotton goods for her own use. This is not because there is a shortage in material but because her mills are so few and far between. Pg. 3, col. 4 NEWS FROM SILVER LAKE Roy Thomas, Chas.
