That automobiles are nice things beyond description every one is willing to admit, but there are places where even "nice things" should not be permitted to be on exhibition, and the public parks of this city are some of the places where the automobile should be forbidden the right to trespass. In the parks, and especially on Sundays, are always congregated hundreds and thousands of children, and the chances of them being run over by autos are ten to one over the horse and buggy. Even should the child not be actually run over, it is almost frightened out of its wits by the noiseless gliding by. The sum and substance of the whole matter is, it's a most dangerous thing for automobiles to go shooting through the parks like a streak of greased lightning—frightening women and children half to death. An ordinance making it a misdemeanor for the automobile to be driven through the public parks, especially on Sundays, should be introduced in the council and passed as soon as it can be legally done. Had His Suspicions. Most of the hotels of the city at present are full and overflowing with tourists, and to get a room "as you like it," even in one of the leading hotels is neither certain or sure.

Not many nights ago a belated guest dropped in the office of the Washington about 11 o'clock in search of quarters for the night. "Rooms all taken, but I can give you a bed in the room with the proprietor," came from the office. The would-be lodger hesitated for a few minutes, but finally said, "All right, but be sure and lock my valuables up in the safe before I go to bed." That sounded rather odd to Mr. Harbough, but remembering the many recent big deals the Moore Investment Company had made, he had a sneaking conviction that he had reached one of those situations where "Silence assumed a golden hue." Paving Expensive But Necessary. The street paving on Renton Hill is making haste slowly, but making haste surely. It will probably be well into the "rainy season" before the job is completed, but when completed it will leave the streets in splendid condition for the winter.

Speaking about high rents in Seattle, Frank Mullen, he of City Council street committee fame, fell into a reminiscent mood not long since, while he and Kenneth Mackintosh were pleasantly discussing high rents in Seattle. "Well, Kenneth, I have been doing a little figuring on this rent business, and have taken my hotel as a basis. First of all, let me say I think my rent for the Abbott House is exceedingly reasonable in comparison to other places being rented for hotel purposes in Seattle, but, nevertheless, since I have been renting the Abbott Hotel I have paid you $9 apiece for every brick that was used in its original construction." That sounded rather hard to believe, but after considering for a short time Mackintosh had to admit that Frank was not far off in his estimate. From the above the reader will get some idea of how valuable real estate has grown in Seattle, and how a two-story building, "way up on Pike Street," but "a few years ago, has become a gold mine within itself in less than twenty years. Eastern investors think they have done exceedingly well, if they can realize ten per cent. on their idle money, but the owner of the property in question has not only received ten per cent., but almost ten hundred per cent., and yet been reasonable beyond an equal in his rental charge. When the property was being constructed, perhaps, the owner thought he was taking a long plunge in the dark, but latter years brought about the fact that, he really had discovered the "long lost mine" and yet was none the wiser of that fact. Hemrich Leaves for Europe. Within a few days Hon. Andrew Hemrich, the well-known brewer and politician, will leave Seattle with the view of touring Europe and also to spend some time in Germany, from whence he came to the United States when but a young boy. "I remember very well," said Gov. McGraw, growing reminiscent one day this week, "when Andrew Hemrich first came to Seattle. I was sheriff of King county at the time, and Hemrich and Kopf, two young Germans, came bearing letters of introduction to me from George H. Beckham, and knowing the introducer as I did and seeing the frankness of the two young men, I was very favorably impressed with them. They wanted to start a brewery on a limited scale, with the idea of growing up with the country, and one of them at least has certainly carried out his intention. I sold the two a site for their first plant on which they built. The site was near Georgetown on which was a fine spring of water, but the country road leading past PRICE FIVE CENTS the place was so bad that, the beer had to be loaded on flat boats and towed to town. The young men had a very small capital to start on and so informed me. They liked the site I offered them, but when they learned the price they fell back in despair, for they could not think of paying $1,600, as they did not have much more than half that amount. Then I read the letter of introduction again and was more favorably impressed, and suggested that they pay half down and pay the other half some time in the future. That struck them favorably, but that could not be done unless they could get a clear deed to the property, as a mortgage would militate against them getting the necessary operating machinery from San Francisco. After thinking for a few minutes I said, while that was out of the ordinary business rules, yet coming as highly recommended as they did I would agree to that. I took a note for the balance of my money, and the brewery work began. Four days before the note fell due Andrew Hemrich came into my office with the entire sum and interest all in big iron dollars, which he had made out of his venture. His partner did not remain West long, but Andrew Hemrich has stayed by the proposition, and, I would not be surprised, if today he is not worth nearly a million dollars. He is and has been the same honest Andrew Hemrich through all these years that he came recommended to me when but a young stripling. I trust he will enjoy what he has honestly earned on his European vacation." * * * "Oh, yes," said an employee of the Seattle Brewing and Malting Company, "Andrew Hemrich has two sons, and they are given employment about the brewery, but they are learning the trade from the ground floor up just as did Mr. Hemrich. They get their weekly check like the other employees, and I am told they have to pay their bills the same as the other fellow. It cuts no ice with them because their father owns a large part of the brewing plant or because their father is very wealthy. It may be theirs some day, but when it is they will know how to take care of it. Mr. Hemrich is one of the kindest and best men I ever had any dealings with, but he insists on getting a square deal from the other fellow the same as the other fellow expects from him." Want Milk. Not Poison. A crusade against impure milk has been started, and, as soon as the new ordinance, which excludes all brands of milk that do not come up to the prescribed standard, becomes a law, good results will follow. It was rather surprising to learn that after a test was made by the city chemist out of nine brands of milk and cream now on the market only three were found to carry the required amount of butter fat. Of these three brands two were deficient in total solids. Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Have You Seen Our Greater Seattle Edition? VOL. XII. NO. 12 TALES OF THE TOWN Taboo the Automobiles.

Of all the charges aired in the divorce court, as reason why man and wife should cease to possess one home and one heart, Mrs. J. Lawrence Dye has capped the cli- max. Mrs. Dye sought to and obtained per- mission to resume her maiden name of Elda Strickland because Mr. Dye insisted that she wear men’s apparel. He cut her hair quite short and brought forward some of his cloth- ing for her to don, but at the sight of his trousers she snatched down the telephone re- ceiver and besought her mother to bring her some clothing, so that she could attire herself in the apparel worn by the sex with which she has identified herself from birth. Mr. Dye’s excuse for making such an un- natural request is that he could support his wife easier if she wore his clothes. Look- ing at it from one point of view, Mr. Dye is little short of a ‘‘really wonder.’’ It is un- derstood that the average woman wishes to wear breeches, and thereby hangs many a tale. Now, when a man comes boldly to the front and tries to put the breeches on his wife by main foree, what manner of woman can she be who would refuse to wear them? * * & Bishop Lee Was Here. The pulpit of the A. M. E. church on Four- teenth avenue, was filled last Sunday morn- ing by Bishop Lee, of that connection, who is on the Coast to hold the Puget Sound A. M. E. conference, which is in session at Port- land today. It was in 1893 when Bishop Lee was last here, and then it was that he made the hit of any Negro bishop ever in the Northwest with the ‘‘dominant race.’? At the same time Bishop Goodsell, of the M. E. connection, was holding the Western Wash- ington conference of his church in Seattle, and a joint session was arranged for the oceasion. Both of the bishops spoke at the “eood will session,’’? but the effort of Bish- op Lee so far overshadowed that of Bishop Goodsell that the members of the First M. E. church went wild over Bishop Lee, for he was subsequently twice invited to preach at the First church, and each time the great edifice was packed ‘to its very entrance steps with Seattle’s “best,’’ anxious to drink in what he had to say, and, be it said to his eredit, he was as smooth as oil and his second and third ap- pearances before the First M. E. congrega- tion left just as favorable impression as his first. It is rather remarkable that, he had hardly a church full at the Fourteenth ave- nue church last Sunday to listen to him, and the only way to account for it was his com- ing had not been advertised, which is to be regretted. * * * Colored Folk Was Late. : Talking about Bishop ‘Lee and the white brethren in Seattle calls to mind a rather amusing incident which happened while he was here in 1893. The bishop, as has already been stated, preached at the First M. E. church on Saturday and announced that he would preach at the A. M. E. church on THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Fourteenth avenue Sunday evening. His talk at the First M. E. church had made such a favorable impression that, a great many of the members of the First church determined to hear him Sunday evening, even if they had to go to the colored church to do so. By half past seven o’clock Sun- day evening the colored church was literally crowded to its very steps with white folk, and when the colored folk, who pretty near- ly always manage to get to church late, ap- peared on the scene, there was not a vacant seat to be had, as all of the seats had been oceupied by the whites, who had come early, and it’s the early bird that gets the worm. It was amusing beyond description to ob- serve in a colored chureh the pews all occu- pied by the white folk and the colored folk lined up around the wall like so many black- birds. The incident should, however, have taught the colored folk two very signifi- cant lessons: First, Always be prompt and on time; Second, The man, whether white or black, that has something to say and can say it, will always get the crowd, and the white man, even in the United States, will go to hear him just as willingly as the black man, even though the man that is going to do the saying be black enough to spit ink for the government. In other words, the edueated, common sense man is the man of the hour, and that, too, regardless of his color, complexion or his nationality. THE FACTS ABOUT SEATTLE. Seattle is a great city. There is no doubt about that. But isn’t quite so great as Seat- tle folk would have the rest of the world be- lieve, There has been great development, great enterprises haye ben established ther, great loads of gold have been landed and much of it has gone into permanent investment. But the greatest achievement of that com- munity is the Seattle spirit, which so perme- ates the population that every project of pub- lie concern carries the weight of unanimity. And this unanimity is not only evident in development enterprises, but in everyday af- fairs. It is vigilantly jealous of the city’s reputation, and consequently the stranger in the city or the neighbor who frequently vis- its the metropolis sees no farther into the city’s affairs than this loyal spirit considers desirable. For instance, it has been the common thing for the mildly disgruntled Everett citizen to return from Seattle with a report of the rush- ing business that is being done there. Every- thing, he says, is lively and everybody is mak- ing money, and he regrets that he did not lo- eate there instead of pinning his faith to the benevolent plans of Mr. Hill—Everett Tribune. SEATTLE’S CHEAP LIGHT. The schedule of light rates fixed by the council at which city light will be furnished to all consumers who will become patrons of the city lighting department is in all proba- bility the lowest for similar service on the Coast. This fact emphasizes the statement, fre- quently made by the Post-Intelligencer, that Seattle may, and by rights should, become the best lighted city on the Coast. It is a possi- ble distinction; and, moreover, is one that FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1905. is well worth while. No better advertise- ment could go out than to say that Seattle is the best lighted city in the country, be- cause it has an unlimited supply of cheap power with which to generate the light. Few cities, in any part of the world, are so fortunately located for light and power ad- vantages. Even the private lighting corpo- rations have been able to sell light and power here cheaper than private corporations can produce and sell them elsewhere. The City of Seattle, owning an abundance of water power through ownership of a city water system, can turn a waste into a valuable prod- uct at a minimum cost. In fact, the city is doing this right now, and the result is that Seattle people can have all the light they want, in their residences, their places of business or on their streets, at the very lowest cost, ‘‘cheaper than anywhere else on earth.’’—Post-Intelligencer. The Post-Intelligencer has posed in the past as being bitterly opposed to municipal ownership of public utilities, and yet what stronger argument is needed in favor of municipal ownership than the above edito- rial? What brought about cheap lights in Seattle if it was not municipal ownership? Suppose the city had never put in a lighting plant, the citizens of Seattle would be to- day paying ten times the amount for light that they are now doing, and another year will see the present rate cut in two. Will the P.-I. deny the charge that, it is all due to the move made by Seattle along the munici- pal ownership line? If the city would take up the street car business a similar reduction in fares would be the result. Strange as it may sound, the Post-Intelligencer is either heartily in favor of municipal ownership and does not know it, or in its heart of hearts it is for municipal ownership, but is not in a position to advocate it because it has a string to it. Which is it? Spokane proposes to entertain the Wash- ington Press Club early in September, which fully explains why Spokane business men are endeavoring to get cheaper freight rates before that time, that a sufficient amount of food and raiment can be brought in at rea- sonable rates before the hungry editors put in their appearance. ** * * Barnum, the great circus prince, was in (2) Seattle this week and drew his usual big crowds. Barnum has been dead a good many years, but a little thing like that does not count for anything when some enter- prising Yankee desires to skin the public out of a few thousand dollars. * *# * Jim Ham Lewis, he of pink whisker fame, is said to have refused a $100,000 offer from the gamblers of Chicago for a permit for them to run the town wide open. Was the money in sight? Was the money in sight? Well——— * * * The immortal William Jennings Bryan is not giving satisfaction in the administration of the estate of the late Philo S. Bennett, and the heirs have appealed from his deci- sions in the settlement. Bryan, it will be re- membered, failed to land a $50,000 benefit, which he claims Mr. Bennett left him, and now it seems that he is endeavoring to get ‘his’? in the shape of fees and perquisites. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Interesting Facts About Seattle. The following statistics show some important facts concerning Seattle, viz.: | | 1900. | 1904. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Names in city directory | 37,354 | 68,882 | | School census | 14,507 | 22,865 | | School attendance | 10,743 | 17,059 | | Telephones in use | 4,337 | 22,681 | | Bank deposits | 17,401,450 | 32,450,695 | | Bank Clearances | $130,323,281 | $222,217,309 | | Water revenues | 200,474 | 436,558 | | Building permits issued, number | 2,960 | 7,438 | | Building permits, valuation | $3,263,022 | $7,808,120 | | Postoffice receipts | 186,762 | 383,477 | | Customs house receipts | 281,546 | 458,665 | Statement of gold deposit at the United States Government assay office in Seattle, from the opening of the institution on July 15, 1898, to the close of business June 30, 1905: Number of deposits, 31,959; troy ounces, 6,073,574.56; avoirdupois tons, 208.2; coining value, $101,434,991.77.

S. mints and to other U. S. assay offices. Fort Lawton, a United States military post, is situated within the city limits. The site includes 605 acres, donated to the government by the people of Seattle, making a beautiful park and drill ground. The garrison now consists of four companies of infantry, and will be increased in the near future to a full regimental post of twelve companies. There are four daily newspapers and about sixty weekly and monthly periodicals published in the city. There is a large fleet of steamers plying in the waters of Puget Sound with Seattle as a home port. These steamers carry passengers to more than 200 adjacent cities, towns, villages and ports at very low rates. The local traffic carried on by this fleet aggregates about $20,000,000 per annum. The above comparative statement for the first half of the years 1904 and 1905 of the business done at the Seattle postoffice is another strong indication of the growth of business. Also the fact that there were $600,000 more of orders paid than issued is a strong proof that Seattle is the commercial center of the Northwest. The merchants in the surrounding country, including Alaska, buy their goods here, and many remit by postoffice order. Compared with the Minneapolis postoffice, the volume of business is much larger, though Minneapolis handles a greater number of money orders. It is not an uncommon thing for the Seattle postoffice to sell to one person $20,000 to $30,000 of money orders. For the recreation of her citizens, Seattle has a number of public and private parks located in different parts of the city, some on the lakes, some on the higher altitudes and some overlooking Puget Sound. A system of boulevards is projected to run along the borders of the Lake and Sound, connecting all the parks of the city in one grand system, and when this work is completed no city will excel Seattle in this respect. There are a number of business, social, educational, literary and musical clubs in the city. The leading business men's associations are the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants' Association and the Manufacturers' Association. The leading social clubs are the Rainier Club, the University Club, the Seattle Athletic Club, the Golf and Country Club and the Firloch Club. There are two extensive electric plants owned and operated by privat companies, which furnish light and power in Seattle and the adjoining cities. The Seattle-Tacoma Power Company derives its power from Snoqualmie Falls, twenty-five miles distant in a straight line. The fall of the Snoqualmie River is 268 feet and the flow of water is sufficient to generate 30,000 horse-power, about two-thirds of which is now being utilized. The Puget Sound Power Company has just completed a plant on the Puyallup river about forty miles from Seattle. The power is derived from the Puyallup and Mowich Rivers. The plant was put into complete operation for its installation of 20,000 horse-power on July 23, 1904. This plant supplies the power for the operation of the street railway systems of Seattle and Tacoma and the Interurban line between the two cities. Electric power is used very largely by the mills and factories of Seattle and neighboring cities, and it is found to be much more economical than steam power. The city has an excellent free public library, containing about 60,000 volumes, besides a great number of magazines, periodicals and pamphlets. Hon. Andrew Carnegie has donated the sum of $220,000 to erect a new building for the library. The city purchased a site at a cost of $100,000, and the work of construction, now in progress, will be completed before the close of the year. The city provides $50,000 per annum as a library maintenance fund. There are about 120 churches and church societies in Seattle and the adjoining suburbs, representing a greater number of the religious beliefs than is generally found in a city of its size. Almost every known denomination of the Christian religion has its devotees, and nearly all of them have regular organizations. This is owing to the fact that the population of the city is cosmopolitan in its character, and has representatives from almost every civilized country on the globe. The Puget Sound Navy Yard is located just across the Sound from Seattle, and its supplies are purchased here. The expenditures for supplies exceeds $100,000 per month. It has the only government drydock on the Pacific Coast large enough to dock a battleship. It gives steady employment to about 700 mechanics, and is growing in importance yearly. ireater Seattle Edition? Have You Seen Our Greater Seattle Edition? FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1905. GEORGE M.

The special edition of the Mason County Journal was truly a home number and the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN citizens of that town should appreciate the effort of the editor by sending away hun- dreds of copies, which will be a splendid ad- vertisement for the town and county. The Journal is one of the wide-awake weeklies of the state and Editor Angel is deserving of all the suecess that he is now reaping after twenty years’ toil at the wheel. Rey. Dr. Thomas Dixon, the Virginia dam- phool on the Unele Sam’s Negro Problem (?), has broken out again, this time in the Sat- urday Evening Post. If what Mr, Dixon says of the ‘‘white man”’ of this country be true, then the white man is a hundred times more savage than the Negro, and it is he, after all, that needs the true word of God. In deciding to not fight her case further, but go to state prison, Mrs. Sarah Latham, of Spokane, has robbed yollow journalism of a great many hard earned dollars, the loss of which they ought to sue her for and gar- nishee her wages while at the prison in pay- ment thereof. New Orleans’ white Christians (?) are fe- verishly praying for relief from the yellow fever scourge, while New Orleans’ black Christians are fervently praying for relief from the lynching scourge that has swept over that whole country like a black shadow for the past two decades. SOME YELLOW FEVER HISTORY. The dreaded yellow jack, which has many people on the jump in the southern states at present, is an old and unweleomed visitor to Unele Sam’s domain. It has not confined its ravages altogether to the South. Tt first made its appearance in this country just four years after the signing of the Dec- laration of Independence, or to be more spe- cifie, in the month of July, 1780, and was brought to Boston from Africa by a sailing vessel and was then known as ‘‘negro vom- jto”’ or ‘‘black vomit.’’ During the summer more than 400 deaths occurred in Boston, but the coming of frost put an end to its ravages. Beginning with the year 1819, when care- ful records of the disease were first kept by authorities of the Crescent City, the deaths in the greatest epidemies were as follows: Deaths. vecalls.

Philadelphia’s fatalities in the same year were forty-five. New York’s 150, and Baltimore eighty-five. FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1905. 2,086 Deaths in New York. as true yellow fever, causing 2,050 deaths In New York during the summer of 1798. Phil- adelphia had 4,544 deaths from yellow fever in 1793, and 3,645 deaths from the same dis- ease in 1798. Boston had 145 deaths in 1798. Baltimore’s death list in the summer of 1794 contains 360 names; in 1797, 545 names, and in 1800 the fatalities were 1,197. The great epidemic of 1878 probably cost a larger number of lives than any other sin- gle outbreak of the disease in the history of the country; the total number of deaths for this disastrous visitation being 13,911, of which Mississippi furnished 3,165, some towns in this state being almost wiped out of existence. Jackson fared better than most other towns in which the fever became epi- demic, and is only charged up with 73 deaths. There were deaths of numerous refugees who fled to northern cities, and these added to the total given above makes the grand total for that year foot up 15,934. The to- tal number of cases was estimated at 74,000. Galveston and the southern and south- western parts of Texas were swept by an epi- demie of yellow fever in the summer of 1867, which caused 1,150 deaths in Galveston alone. Other cities suffered extensively, but no records of the number of deaths were kept. The southwestern border of Texas and northeastern Mexico have passed through numerous yellow fever plagues, but the great epidemies which caused so many deaths in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and (Ten- nessee did not gain a foothold in the Lone Star state, and the northern part of the state has always enjoyed immunity. Shreveport and Memphis suffered from yellow fever in 1873, there being 759 deaths in Shreveport and 2,000 in Memphis. The epidemic of 1853, which brought death to more than 8,000 persons in New Orleans, was disastrous to four other southern cities. There were 1,191 deaths in Mobile, 500 in Vicksburg, 165 at Lake Providence, La., and 112 at Jackson, Miss. Philadelphia became infected in the same -year and 128 persons died of yellow fever. Cuba was the general distributing point for the disease, until the United States gov- ernment practically eliminated the disease by strict sanitary methods and war upon the mosquito. The disease was introduced in Brazil in 1849, the first year causing 10,000 deaths, and has since practically been epidemic in that country. The last two years has brought a great improvement by the destruction of the mosquito and sanitary measures. Medical records say that yellow fever has invaded the United States ninety times since 1780, and of these invasions seventy-five have ben traced to their origin, being brought from the West Indies seventy-one times and from Mexico four times. The rate of mortality varies with each epi- demic. In the plague of 1798 in New York the rate was 4 in 7. In 1878 it was about 1 in 5, and physicians believe the latter ratio a good average, although in latter years ott, tnsmnead mthode Af-trantment. the fa- A. H. H. FRIDAY. AUGUST 18. 1905 POLITICAL POT=PIE The pie-maker has already announced that, Josiah Collins, who a few years ago deserted the Democratic party and became a Republican for the sake of office, and is now endeavoring to work the Republicans into giving him some official power. His first effort was to be nominated and elected state senator from the Thirty-fifth senatorial district, which, the editor of this paper, successfully headed off. Now he desires to be mayor of Seattle and again The Republican and its best friends, who have the knack of doing things when it comes to politics, will see to it that "his ambition" to be mayor of Seattle never reaches even the serious stage: Should Mr. Collins, by some hokus pokus ever get the Republican nomination for mayor, fully half of the old line Republicans would bolt their party at once and support some other candidate, even a Democratic candidate, if he were of a different beed of dogs from Mr. Collins, would be acceptable. Josiah Collins first of all is a political turn coat. He at heart is a Southern Democrat, but having come "North" and discovering that Southern Democrats had no show of getting to the front politically in this section he decided, for the sake of getting political power, to lay aside his Democratic teachings and stoop to conquer by sailing under false colors. Now if he ever becomes serious in the Republican party he will be shown up in such a light that, he will never again ask the Grand Old Republican Party for honors. * * * Other papers following in the wake of The Seattle Republican are discussing the advisability of Gov. Mead removing Warden Kees along with "his guards." That those guards were mere catspaws of Warden Kees seems a foregone conclusion, and that their effort to vote was to help Kees in the local fight there against the Boxers is also a foregone conclusion, and, if these things be true, then Kees is equally as culpable as the guards themselves. The Pie-Maker believes that when Gov. Mead shall have given the whole JOSIAH COLLINS Would-Be Mayor of Seattle. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THE MEMORIAL HALL THE HISTORY OF THE MILITARY CENTER Warden's Residence matter his careful consideration he will feel more like dismissing Warden Kees than the guards themselves, although a guard who would permit himself to be used as a catspaw by even a superior is deserving of no consideration and should be summarily dismissed from the state's service. The Seattle Republican has no ulterior motive in the course it is pursuing in this case, for the editor hereof does not personally know but one of the guards and does not know him well enough to speak unfavorably of him without feeling he was perfectly justified in so doing. This is not a factional difference in the Republican party, but is a matter of principle. The penitentiary has been a political hot bed almost ever since Washington has been a state, and it is almost time for the place to be renovated and taken out of politics. If, therefore, Warden Kees is found mixed up in that would-be illegal voting escapade of those guards he should be fired immediately if not sooner. Tacoma people must think the busy American has lost his art to hustle, if he takes time to "Watch Tacoma grow." That sleepy old burg has been almost a century trying to get a population of 50,000, and that, too, with the assistance of the largest railroad system in the Northwest at her back. "Eleven billion dollars" is said to be a conservative value of the railroads of this country. No wonder Congress, the various state legislatures and the thousand and one city councils all over the country are enacting special legislation to prevent the owners of the railroads of the country from going into bankruptcy. OUR GREATER SEAATLE EDITION. Copies of the Greater Seattle Edition recently issued by The Seattle Republican may be had at the various news depots of the city or by applying to the office, 214 Columbia street. It seems to be the concensus of opinion of everyone who has seen the number ```markdown ``` --- State Penitentiary All Undergoing Gubernatorial Investigation. * * * * * * that no publication ever turned out in the city does the city more proud than the one herein mentioned, and it would be worth your while to see it for yourself and send a few copies away to some one who may become interested in the city thereby. Already some 1,000 copies have been used up by the newstands and callers at the office, and if you would like a few copies of it let us advise you to hurry. "That birdseye view of Greater Seattle on the first page of your Greater Seattle Edition is one of the best things I have seen published about Seattle. That picture alone is worth what you charge for the whole book," said the advertising man of the Bon Marche. "A representative of a Chicago publishing house was in my office the other day looking for something in the shape f a birdseye view of Seattle, and I had nothing of the kind in mind suitable to give him. I regret now that I had not seen your Greater Seattle view, and perhaps I could have made some arrangements with you to have permitted him to have used it," came from ex-Governor McGraw, president of the Chamber of Commerce. If you desire a copy, call at the office or at some of the news stands. "Seattle certainly got her money's worth in your recent Greater Seattle Edition, and if she knows how to appreciate a good thing when she sees it she will send many hundred copies out of the city, for certainly nothing she can send out in the shape of literature will advertise her to a better advantage than that number," came from John A. Whalley, who represents a great many Eastern investors. The office of The Seattle Republican is 214 Columbia street. "Your Greater Seattle Edition is a gem. As of yore, you still lead the van of newspaper enterprise. Accept hearty congratulations," comes from J. P. Ball, an old newspaper man, but at present a leading Seattle attorney.

ROSSMAN & JOHNSON, Attorneys for Plaintiff. Office and postoffice address, 300 and 301 Pacific Block, Seattle, Wash PERSONAL Dr. Beal, of Jackson, Miss., spent a few days in the city this week and was a guest of Mr. John T. Gayton. Dr. Beal has a splendid practice at his home, but, he having tired of the South, has an eye single to some Western town in which to locate and start all over again. He left last Wednesday for Portland to visit the fair and look over that city, but he felt when in the city that, Seattle "looked good to him," and it is barely possible that, he will return to the city in the very near future to cast his lot. The physician, of all the professional men of the Negro race, seems to be in the lead from a success standpoint. In those towns where he has cast his lot anud especially where there are large numbers of Negroes, he has enjoyed singular financial success, and, for the most part, has proven himself equal to the occasion. Dr. Beal was a school and classmate of the associate editor hereof and should he decide to locate here she is willing to vouch for his success even in the far Northwest. * * * Master Douglas Parker, who has been visiting in the city for a few days, left for his home last Tuesday evening after enjoying a most pleasant vacation with friends. He went over to Bremerton Monday with Mr. Myer and enjoyed the big ship scenery very much. Master Douglas is the youngest brother of Miss Candace L. Par- THE REPLY TIME: BREAKING THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ker, who visited in the city two years ago, and who, by the way, is one of the most accomplished young ladies in the Northwest. Miss Parker will leave for Boston in a few days to finish her musical education and before returning she hopes to spend some time in a Berlin musical conservatory. Rev. and Mrs. S. S. Freeman left last Tuesday evening for Portland to be present at the Puget Sound A. M. E. conference, which is now in session there. From the pulpit last Sunday Rev. Freeman announced that, he intended to withdraw from the ministry, but would make Seattle his home. Rev. Davidson, of Tacoma, who is writing a book descriptive of the Negro Baptist church in the Northwest, was doing business in Seattle last Wednesday. He contemplates leaving for the South within the next two weeks, and while away hopes to induce some good colored families to turn their faces to the Northwest. The home of Mr. James P. Ball, a well-known Seattle attorney, which is in the course of construction on the corner of Union Street and Twenty-fourth Avenue, will soon be ready for occupancy, and when it is, it will truly be a thing of beauty. It has a commanding view of the lake and will make an ideal home. Both Phones 949 Established 1888 E. R. BUTTERWORTH & SONS E. R.

The number has been most highly complimented for its workmanship, by the most critical critics of the town, and, if you desire your friend, who is not here, to have some idea of Seattle, send him a copy of the number. The price is twenty-five cents. Mme. Boyer, Everett's leading hair store merchant, spent last Wednesday and Thursday in Tacoma and Seattle. Mme. Boyer, notwithstanding the dull times, reports a very good business outlook. Mr. Boyer is on the road selling goods the most of the time and occasionally she makes short trips out of town and takes a few orders. She is patronized by the leading society ladies of Everett and on the whole has built up a most excellent business. The engagement of the Taylor Company at the Third Avenue Theatre is rapidly drawing to a close, and this will be sincerely regretted by a lot of people who have found delight in their offerings during the past ten weeks. This week they are giving "Hunted by a Woman," a play about as different from any of their former productions as it is possible to make a melodrama. The story is well told and worked out without losing interest. The last performance will be given Saturday night and most every one will enjoy "Hunted by a Woman." Peoples' Savings Bank Second and Pike. Capital $100,000 Deposits received from $1 to $10,000; per cent interest allowed on savings deposits. * * * FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1905 Next week will positively be the last week of the Taylor Company's season at the popular up-town theatre. "His Double Life" is the title of the play and it is equally as strenuous as anything in the melodramatic line this company has given us. It tells the fascinating story of the double life of an individual who while posing as high-toned and respectable member of society, is leading a double life, associating with criminals of the worst character and doing deeds of wickedness that when discovered by his family, who are respectable, brings about his downfall and retribution. The play is said to contain a very powerful plot and an intermingled element of comedy and pathos. It is the first play the Taylor Company has appeared in that was not written by Mr. Taylor, and being the last week of the season it will serve to show the company to good advantage in another author's play.
