Workmen’s Compensation shows $428,057 paid, yet only $57,329 to claims, with large insurance obligations outstanding. Albert Johnson addresses congressional race dynamics as ballots may allow dual first and second choices per voter. Seattle Press Club installs new officers and hosts notable figures, and the Woodland Echo returns under publisher R C Julian. Lewis River valley publicity and Everson Valley Home sale conclude the snippet.
