NATIVE SONS ORGANIZE. Temporary Organization to Be Made Permanent July S. With W. Scott Shaser as temporary chairman and George E. Blankenship secretary-treasurer, an organisation known as the "Native Sons of Wash ington" was formed in Olympia last Saturday, the first of its kind in the state. The permanent organization is to be effected at a meeting to be held at the Labor Temple Saturday, July 3. Any man more than 21 years old who was born in the present bounda ries of the state is eligible to mem bership, the organization being de signed for "promoting the mutual in terests and good fellowship among the native sons and to preserve the traditions and history of the state of Washington." Those who partici pated in its organization were Messrs. Shaser, Blankenship, Charles D, King, John Bush, Fred W. Stocking and Mr. Fleetwood. State Has Money to Invest. On account of radical improvement! in the bond market, with private' bond houses bidding eagerly for' school district bond issues, the state now has nearly $500,000 in its six permanent funds, awaiting invest ment. In order to invest this money the state board of finance probably will immediately enter the municipal bond market as an active bidder. A year ago it was decided to restrict bids to school bond issues, on ac count of the numerous demands for state money, private buyers being in active, but now the latter class is taking many of the bond issues. When two rival Sunday schools, each attempting to "sing down" the other, clashed at the Westslde Chapel last Sunday morning, the long-stand ing trouble between the two factions of the organization, one headed by Mrs. D. E. Wertz, superintendent for the last 18 years, and the other by Rev. J. C. Baker, who was recently called to the pulpit, broke forth and Police Chief Hall was called to see that the regular church services were held without disturbance. The' old organization had been incorporated in 1907 as the Westslde Baptist Mis sion chapel and It was not until two years ago, when the Westslde Chapel Congregation, organised under the Christian Missionary Alliance, was in corporated, that the split occurred. Tuesday, Rev. Mr. Baker and several others of his faction obtained m tem porary restraining order from the local superior court preventing the other faction from holding Sunday school services any Sunday morning; A hearing on it is to be held July 6. Capital City Creamery Closes. Involved by a Judgment on a note he had endorsed for another, amount ing to $2,000, with Interest at 12 per cent for six years, making a total of $3,650, F. R. Klurab, proprietor of the Capital City Creamery, was forced to suspend his business the latter part of last week and is now endeavoring to dispose of the prop erty. The closing came as a distinct surprise to everyone, as Mr. Klumb had been successful in building up a flourishing business since he took over the plant a few years ago. Many Would Buy Capitol Bonds. With applications already received from some 40 or 50 bond buyers for the $1,500,000 issue of bonds against the capitol land grant, authorized by the last legislature to retire warrant indebtedness, complete the Temple of Justice, and buy some additional property, members of the state capitol commisslou, at a meeting Monday, In vited representatives of the bonding companies to meet with them Thurs day, July 8. to determine various matters involved. Members of the commission now feel confident that the financial matters that have de layed the new capitol work for the last two years have been satisfacto rily adjusted and that new work will be undertaken this summer. CELEBRATE WILSON M {'aroma. Sea'tie. l'o:llar.d aliil Oilier Cities show l-'uith in President.
