FREE DELIVERY
Post Office Inspectors Make Favorable Report.
Commence April 1, 1908
One Carrier and Two Daily Deliveries to be Installed.
        Post office Inspectors Johnson and Backers, who were in the city the latter part of last week looking up the matter of installing a free delivery in this city, have made recommendations favorable to the free delivery system here, and if their recommendations are accepted by the postmaster general and congress, the free delivery will be installed by April 1, 1908."
        Under the conditions prevailing here at the present time on carrier will be employed and two deliveries installed. Later, when the new sidewalks have been built in the outlying districts, three carriers, at least, will have to be employed. Besides the building of the sidewalks the houses will all have to be numbered, and the quicker our citizens begin this work and carry it to completion, the better it will be for the city, as it means a better and larger service.
        For nearly a year now, the Centralia post office has had the requisite amount of business to claim the free delivery. The $10,000 mark for the year's receipts is the amount necessary for a city to reach to obtain the free delivery and this amount was earned by the Centralia post office a year ago, and we are informed by Postmaser[sic] Benedict that this year it will go away over that amount.
        H.S. Smith, the proprietor of the building in which the post office is located, informed us this week that he had had orders from the inspectors to prepare to install the necessary fixtures to handle the free delivery system by April 1, 1908.
        The proposed territory for the present will be about as follows: from the Gray's Harbor branch of the Northern Pacific railway on the north following the Hoss power ditch South and along Washington avenue to Walnut street, on Walnut street to Tower avenue  at Koch's corner; thence south on Tower avenue two blocks on the east side of the railroad a strip about two blocks north through the residence district.

O. & W. LOCOMOTIVE RUNS AWAY
        Thursday, during the noon hour, the Oregon & Washington locomotive, which has been used on the construction train for the road being build to the Union Coal Mines, run away and is a total wreck at the end of the road at the mines. The engineer and firemen were at dinner at the time the accident happened, and had left the engine standing on the track near the cook house and during their absence, some miscreant undoubtedly climbed into the engine and pulled the throttle.
        Word of the accident was telephoned to the Portland headquarters and another engine was immediately dispatched to this city to pull the regular engine back onto the track. The tender was completely in the ditch and the trucks and steam piper were so badly twisted that it had to be sent to the shops for repairs.
        No one knows who started the engine going and no blame can be attached to engineer Biblehausen, who had charge of the engine, as it is an every day occurrence for the engine crew to leave their engine while at their meals.

PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECT
Residents of Chehelis Start Injunction Proceedings.
        Ten Cascade avenue property owners have entered injunction proceedings against the city of Chehalis to stop the assessment for the macadam improvement which has been done by George Robinson during the past year. It is claimed by these contestants that the original call for bids by the city council specified that the entire work should not cost to exceed $6,000. and that with this understanding the plaintiffs in this action did not enter protest against the improvement, before it was too late. Subsequently, it is claimed in the complaint, the city granted the work to George Robinson, the only bidder, at $2.50 per foot, there being 5,925 feet to be paved and that the entire cost of this improvement was not within the confines of $6,000 but amounted to $14,812.50.
        Also in the complaint, attention is called to the fact that the plans and specifications are in no way complied with. It is stated in the complaint that the rock used in the construction of the street is not of the size specified and that the section of street between Eleventh street and Jefferson avenue has not bee finished although that section of Cascade avenue north of Market street has been reported as complete.
        furthermore it is claimed that the excavation at the centre of the street, seven inches deep and sixteen feet wide was not made before the rock was placed on the street, and also that the street was not properly crowned or sufficiently rolled. The plaintiffs in this action against the city are A.S. Corry, William Nelson, H.A. Gable, J.S. Foster, A. Bechaud, T.R. Getsman, W.A. Roberts, A.M. Follett, M.B. Stoddard and T.A. Stephens.-Bee Nugget

"GIRL OF THE STREETS"
        "Girl of the Streets" will be at Centralia opera house on Saturday, Dec. 28. In presenting this play Geo. B. Edwards & Co. have outdone all former effects. The piece has enjoyed a liberal patronage in the great cities the past two seasons and this will be its first appearance in our city. All special scenery is carried so as to introduce "the black pool." Sing Sing prison, the counterfeiter's den, Harlem River, The Suspension Bridge, New York city illuminated on a winter's night, etc. Though the piece is boisterous in merriment, still it is refined in tone, pure in thought and spontaneous in action and pleases the ladies and children as well as the ga-ery  gods. A number of clever specialties are introduced. Prices, 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents.

Herbert Butz, who has been quite sick at the home of his parents in this city, is able to be out again.

AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
        At about 7:30 yesterday morning fire was discovered in the upstairs of the building occupied by Curry and Brown with the "Square Deal Store." An alarm was turned in and before the fire had gained any headway it was extinguished, although not until that building and the building adjoining, occupied by Mrs. L.V. Begg with a millinery store, had received a good drenching.  The goods from both the store buildings were removed to the Keir hardware store, and while none were injured by fire they were badly damaged by the water. It is understood that both Mrs. Begg and Messrs. Curry & Brown carried sufficient insurance to cover their losses. The buildings were both owned by Mrs. Mary Borst, and there was no insurance on either building.
        Mrs. Begg's grandfather slept upstairs over the millinery store and a purse containing $125 in money was left under the pillow in his room, and during the excitement some miscreant found the pocket book containing the money and got away with it.
        Both Mrs. Begg and Messrs. Curry & Brown will immediately begin cleaning up the premises and will be doing business again in a few days.

Mr. and Mrs. F.E. Herthum and daughter, Miss Florence, of Seattle, spent Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Davies, at their home in this city.

OLYMPIA JUDGE SUSPENDED
Judge J.W. Robinson Severely Rebuked by Supreme Court.
        In an opinion filed Tuesday the supreme court suspended Judge J.W. Robinson of Olympia from practice in all state courts for a period of six months and ordered that he pay the cost of printing the book in the disbarment proceedings brought against him by the attorney general.
        In the John Sullivan will case Robinson, as attorney for Marie Carreau, filed a motion for rehearing after the court had decided against Miss Carreau. In that motion Robinson asserted that rumors were rife in Seattle of a political deal between Senator Piles, who was one of the attorneys in the case, and the members of the supreme court by which the judges were promised federal political preferment.
        The court ordered the attorney general to bring disbarment proceedings and at the hearing Robinson disclaimed any intention of reflecting upon the court and asked that the objectionable matter be stricken from his motion. The court in its decision, says Robinson must have intended what he wrote as an intimidation of the court, as the motion recited a direct statement that nothing would do so much to quiet the rumors as for the court to decide in favor of Miss Carreau.

MAX HANEL IN TROUBLE
        Max Hanel, former jeweler of this city, was picked up in Seattle last Saturday as being a suspicious character. Since leaving here Max has met with adverse circumstances, having served a short term in the penitentiary.  Max is a first class jeweler, and when sober is a very good citizen of any community, but when under the influence of liquor he entirely loses control of himself and does things that places him in the same class with the professional crook.

H.C. TROTH ARRESTED TODAY
Will Test Constitutionality of Sunday Closing Law.
        In another column will be found a small item saying that Prosecuting Attorney W.E. Harmon was in the city Thursday obtaining sufficient evidence to justify him in making arrests for the opening of cigar stores here last Sunday.
        As a direct result of this investigation by Mr. Harmon, a warrant was served today by Deputy Sheriff, G.B. King on H.C. Troth, charging him with the violation of the Sunday closing law. Mr. Troth immediately gave bond in the sum of $200 for his appearance in the Superior Court early in February.
        The business men of this city, who are affected by the Sunday closing law have decided to test the constitutionality of the law and will emply the best attorneys in the county to defend the case.
        So far as is known this is the first arrest since the prosecuting attorney issued his letter, requesting that all business houses be closed on Sundays, and the outcome of the trial will be awaited with interest.
