"Johnny's" long sweet vacation dream is ended at last. He started to school last Tuesday. That 110 pound watermelon lie from British Columbia sounds just like a Kansas cornfield lie. Next Wednesday vote for the water bonds, vote for the salt water bonds; vote for the canal bonds; vote against the street railway bonds. There seem to be a whole lot of Republicans just now, who are not particularly enthused over their ticket. Too much court house ring. A county official was overheard to remark, "to hell with the P.-I. I'd sooner have it against me than for me." Guess he will be accommodated. Battling Nelson has demonstrated that he is not only a coward, but likewise a cheat. He fouled Gans to save himself from a deserved drubbing. A. P.-I. head line says, "See Danger in Land Speculation." Is that a new name for the "mezuma," the "coin," the "dough," the "almighty dollar?" Had Joe Gans used Nelson's tactics in the fight Nelson would have been declared the winner in the second round. What a pity Uncle Sammys are so badly color blind. Evidently Banker Stensland, he of recent Chicago bankrupting fame, courted detection and arrest, tiring of trying to escape. If he gets his just deserts he will soon be where he can always be seen. If the country is to have clean politics what's the need of either the individual's single dollars or the trust's many dollars? Too much money is expended on these so-called campaigns of education. If the passengers in that California stage did not enjoy their hold-up experience it would so appear, but since the whole bunch of them did not have enough money for the robber to pay a month's board for himself at a California hotel, why wouldn't they en- ```markdown ``` SEATTLLE. WASHINGTON SEPTEMBER 7, 1906. joy it. It was one on the robber. If desire and wish would kill a human being Battling Nelson would have been a corpse very soon after he lost his fight with Gans. He exhibited so much of the brute that the public by a large majority sorely regretted that either Gans or those miners did not kill him before he left Goldfield. "Sixteen to one" was the source of Bryan's troubles in 1896. Trusts was his text in 1900. Sulk was his policy in 1904. Government ownership of railroads is to be his hobby in 1908. As inharmonious as all these are the one with the other still he hopes by some supernatural power to be able to contort them all into spelling President Bryan. There perhaps is not another newspaper in the world that can make as silly and as inconsistent fight as the Seattle Daily Times. Its fights are so very silly that it loses every time it makes one. It does seem that some one about that "crazy corner" would get next. Its fight against Senator Potts did not even create a ripple on the political waters. Prize fighting may disgrace "labor day," as said Senator Piles, but an overwhelming majority of the laborers of the country have no objections to seeing the day disgraced with a prize fight that's on the square. Gans and Nelson showed by example as well as by mouth what labor day really meant as they labored like the very old devil. If that Times expose of Senator John L. Wilson was not a political harangue pure and simple then it read and sounded just like it. But serious! If Senator Wilson did all the naughty things the Times intimated he did and was able to save himself and likewise Brother Harry from any legal entanglements by controlling three presidents of the United States and one a Democrat—Great Grover—then we are beginning to understand how Senator Wilson was able to get so many public improvements for the entire state and Seattle in particular, for it will be remembered that every one of the federal improvements that Seattle is now enjoying was either gotten outright by Senator Wilson or begun by him. What a pity Seattle lost so valuable a man in the United States senate. That the Southern men will support Bryan for president, the conflicting views of Bryan and the Southern voters on government ownership of railroads, to the contrary notwithstanding is assured beyond a reasonable doubt. Those fellows will support any kind of a Democrat, even if he favors government ownership of their families, if there is a possibility of such Democratic nominee for president winning, on such a hobby. The average Democrat of the South is wholly without political principal, LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. only the principal to win whether by fair or foul means. He has two ambitions in life, "get office" and keep the nigger down." If to get the office he will be compelled to support a Democrat, who is not in harmony with the effete ideas of the South, he will do that. If Theodore Roosevelt, who advocates" all men up," which is like flaunting a red flag in a Mexican bull's face, should suddenly turn Democratic in politics and seek the nomination for president on that ticket, he would, as has every other candidate for president on the Democratic ticket, get the vote of the solid South. In other words, the Solid South is ready and willing to give its delegate vote to any kind or class of a Democrat, if there is a show of him winning and be the means of the voters getting big and little federal positions. In his outspoken advocacy of government ownership of railways Mr. Bryan shows that he has not been alarmed by predictions of loss of support in the south. Southern Democratic leaders are opposed to the proposition advanced by Mr. Bryan because it would do away with their system of providing separate cars for whites and Negroes, so far at least as trunk lines owned by the federal government would be concerned. State governments might yield to race sentiment and maintain the present custom, though in doing so they would run counter to the equality provision of the constitution. It was announced a few days ago that many prominent Southern Democrats were in New York and were going to try to obtain an audience with Mr. Bryan before he made his speech to urge him not to come out in favor of government ownership and operation of railroads. Either they did not get the interview or were unable to prevail upon Mr. Bryan to cut out that portion of his speech. Whether Mr. Bryan will get the votes of Southern delegates to the national Democratic convention in 1908 remains to be seen. Mr. Bryan has at all events made it clear that he will give sincere utterance to his views on national questions, regardless of sectional prejudice or possible loss of support. It will be interesting to watch his speechmaking tour in the South and notice whether he is as emphatic on this point as when addressing a Northern audience. Spokesman Review. Uncle Sam's in Egypt—According to a recent consular report, the chief interest Americans have at present in Egypt is pleasure, our tourists spending nearly $4,000,000 there annually, and in the purchase of over $6,000,000 worth of Egyptian products, whereas the United States sells Egypt less than $2,500,000 of commodities, and these are dwindling. There seems to be room for reform in this direction.—Spokesman Review. All of which reminds us of the old, old adage, "a fool and his money soon part." BRYAN AND THE SOUTH. rage 2 eee eae ee eee eee OV ao SHIP. Under the caption of Daily Talk with the voters the following series of communica- tions have been published in the daily press eminating from the Seattle Economic Club, of which Senator J. M. Frink, the well known business man of this city, is the presi- dent: Talk No. 1. Let us begin with some truths to which everybody must agree: 1. Cities, like individuals, must act with common sense; otherwise disaster will fol- low. 2. Common sense requires careful exami- nation of all expenditures and of all con- tracting of debts. Nobody ean sell YOU something, Mr. Voter, which you do not want; or induce YOU to go into debt except for a good reason. That is because you THINK before you act and you KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. The city, too, must THINK before it acts, and when a mat- ter is submitted to the voters, they must do the THINKING FOR THE CITY. Now, is it COMMON SENSE for the city to spend $7,579.904 on a municipal street rail- way experiment? Fares would not be any cheaper. There could be no transfer system worth mentioning. To start by the municipal road and reach a desired destination, you would frequently have to pay two fares, one on the municipal lines and one on the present system. Every one of the proposed lines which is practicable the present system will undoubt- edly be glad to build as soon as street grades are established—which means as soon as any- body ean build them. If the city should build the lines, you would get a poorer service, no transfers, would frequently have to pay two fares, and you would owe $7,579,904 with annual inter- est charges of a third of a million dollars. Now, is that COMMON SENSE? Does the city want a municipal street rail- way WORSE than it wants MORE WATER, more SEWERS, and BETTER FIRE PRO- TECTION, not to mention other erying needs? Tt cannot have all, because the state con- stitution will not permit a city to bond itself beyond a certain limit, and this limit Seattle is in danger of reaching even without trying any municipal street railway schemes. SEATTLE ECONOMIC LEAGUE, 3 Talk No. 2. Somebody asks: ‘‘Why don’t you tell the voters that the municipal street car bonds can be paid out of earnings, and neyer cost the taxpayers a cent?”’ The answer is: BECAUSE WE DON’T BELIEVE IT. Somebody also says: ‘‘ Why don’t you tell the voters that if the municipal street rail- way fails to pay, the only sufferers will be the bondholders, who will simply lose their money ?”’ The answer is: WE DON’T BELIEVE THAT, EITHER. We have too much RESPECT for SEAT- TLE PRIDE. Tf Seattle isuses any bonds, THEY THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN WILL BE PAID. REPUDIATION is an UGLY word, NOT POPULAR in these parts. If Seattle borrows $1,272,036, no matter on what the security, SEATTLE WILL PAY that sum, with interest. If Seattle borrows $4,272,036, no matter what the security, SEATTLE WILL PAY that sum, with interest. If Seattle borrows $7,579,940, no matter what the security, SEATTLE WILL PAY that sum, with interest. ‘ The special lien bond law, SPECIFICAL- LY EMPOWERS the city by ordinance to transfer to the special fund ‘ANY OTHER AVAILABLE FUNDS OF THE CITY.” Would SEATTLE neglect anything WITHIN HER POWER to PRESERVE HER CREDIT? Would you, Mr. Voter, PERMIT any such neglect? CERTAINLY NOT! THAT is why we speak of ALL the pro- posed bond issues as proposed MORT- GAGES on the homes of the people. SEATTLE ECONOMIC LEAGUE. Talk No. 3. What are street cars FOR? You are in one place and want to reach another. It is too far to walk. Therefore you ride. THAT is what street cars are for. They are not run to express theories or governmental doctrines, They are run to TAKE YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, and because you are willing to pay for the service. When you ride you want to go as NEAR YOUR DESTINATION AS POSSIBLE, ana you want to PAY AS LITTLE as possible. Cnosequently, the BEST SERVICE is one which takes you where you want to go, with transfers if you need them, all FOR A SINGLE FARE. You would not call it a good service if you had to GET OFF AND WALK long be- fore you reached your destination, or if to avoid that you had to change to another sys- tem and PAY ANOTHER FARE. But this is EXACTLY what the municipal street car lines would COMPEL you to do. Just get a map and see if this is not true. Examine the lines it is proposed to build NOW. Not one of these could take you to the business center, the pleasure resorts, the principal parks, or the eastern or southern suburbs.. Even these first lines cannot be built till the property owners put out large sums for street opening and grading. But they are important because if they fail the remaining proposed lines cannot be thought of. If you study these first lines you will see that they WILL FAIL unless there are PLENTY OF GOOD WALKERS, and PER- SONS WILLING TO PAY TWO FARES. SEATTLE ECONOMIC LEAGUE. Talk No. 4. The FINANCIAL PROBLEM involved in the municipal street railway debt proposi- tion is so TREMENDOUS that we ARE FORCED to discuss the subject largely in DOLLARS AND CENTS AND FIGURES. September 7, 1906 ‘For one day, though, let us talk about some other features. Take the matter of street car IMPROVE- MENTS. Would you expect the city to adopt NEW EQUIPMENT and IMPROVED METHODS very promptly? NO MUNICI- PALITY conducting such an enterprise EVER DID adopt improvements promptly. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, after studying the Glasgow municipal street car system, said in a letter that such a system would ‘“‘START A RIOT,, in any American city—it was so poor, according to AMERI- CAN STANDARDS. Once started, a municipal enterprise be- gins to STRUGGLE to show A PROFIT. It has NO MONEY for REPAIRS. It has NO MONEY for RENEWING worn- out equipment.

The AMERICAN STANDARD has been reached under private ownership and through private energy and enterprise. Do you, Mr. Voter, want Seattle to FALL BELOW the AMERICAN standard? SEATTLE ECONOMIC LEAGUE. Talk No. 5. Did you read an account of the addresses at the Municipal Ownership meeting on Saturday night? We HOPE you DID. If you read them carefully, you noticed that one of the sepakers, a little franker than the rest, used the following PLAIN LANGUAGE: "And now to make a nucleus—to get the first germ of a street railway; to start the matter; to get something to earn some revenue. We have recommended the negotiation of $1,272,000 of general bonds, which, if worst comes to worst. WOULD BE A MORTGAGE UPON ALL YOU HAVE AND HOPE TO HAVE." And a little later, the same speaker added: "I TOLD YOU IT WAS A COLD-BLOOED PROPOSITION, AND IT IS." This does not describe ALL the propositon, though. The proposed $3,000,000 issue also to be authorized must be taken into account. It will ALSO be a MORTGAGE on your HOME, for, as already pointed out, the city is specifically EMPOWERED to pay MONEY RAISED BY TAXES, into the special fund which secures these bonds; and to PRESERVE ITS CREDIT, Seattle would undoubtedly do so when other resources failed. And also was ADMITTED by the speakers at the meeting, that the lines to be constructed from the proceeds of the first bond issue or mortgage would serve only a SMALL PORTION of the community. The service, as we have shown, without transfers and without terminals at important points of destination, would be wretchedly inadequate. But waiving that, what would the large portion of the community not served at all get in return for submitting to the first blanket mortgage? What would it get NOW? Nothing at all. What would it get in the FUTURE? THAT IS UNCERTAIN. "IF," the experiment pays, and "IF" money lenders will take the special term bonds, and "IF" the strets are opened and graded, there may be other lines, accompanied by more indebtedness. A GOOD MANY "IF'S," dont you think? And the FIRST BLANKET MORTGAGE must be IRREVOCABLY FIXED OF YOUR PROPERTY before any of the uncertainties can be DETERMINED. FIRST YOU PAY AND THEN YOU SEE THAT YOU GET. You don't do business THAT WAY FOR YOURSELF INDIVIDUALLY, do you, Mr. Voter? SEATTLE ECONOMIC LEAGUE. TALK NO. 6. Park bonds to the amount of $500,000 were THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN offered for sale by Seattle on Saturday, and NOBODY BID FOR THEM. Humiliating? Yes, we think so. Disquieting? WELL, NOT VERY. YOU know and WE know that these bonds are GOOD SECURITY. YOU know and WE know that SEATTLE IS RESPONSIBLE, RESOURCEFUL, ENTERPRIISING and HONEST. YOU know and WE know that ANY bonds issued by SEATTLE are worthy to rank with the most GILT-EDGED SECURITIES. But it is ESSENTIAL that OUTSIDE INVESTORS KNOW this also. TEMPORARILY, a QUESTION HAS BEEN RAISED AS TO SEATTLE'S CREDIT. HOW has this been brought about? You may be TOLD that capital HAS CONSPIRED to INJURE Seattle, BUT YOU KNOW BETTER. Capital is seeking SAFE INVESTMENTS at a PROFIT. It is not wasting time in conspiracies. Then how has this question been raised? It has been raised by the proposition to LOAD SEATTLE DOWN with an indebtedness NOT AN ESSENTIAL of her GROWTH and not made NECESSARY by it. It has been raised by THEORISTS who are ADVERTISING this town as a town of NOTIONS, OF FANCIES, OF WILD DREAMS OF IMPOSSIBLE FINANCE. It has been raised by THEORISTS who do not SCRUPLE to say that SEATTLE may embark on a municipal enterprise and, if it fails, leave the BOND-HOLDERS to suffer the loss WTOUT RECOURSE OR REMEDY. Why do we say this is not very disquieting? Because we believe in the COMMON SENSE of the PEOPLE OF SEATTLE. Because we believe that on September 12 SEATTLE will VETO the municipal street railway proposition, and OVERWHELMINGLY REJECT IT. This accomplished, we have no fear that SEATTLE will find difficulty in borrowing ALL SHE NEEDS to keep pace with her WONDERFUL and LEGITIMATE growth. SEATTLE ECONOMIC LEAGUE. Any Afro-American who will in anywise vote to uphold the hand of organized labor, will vote to place a yoke of bondage around his own neck. Organized labor is moving heaven and earth, figuratively speaking, to bond the city of Seattle in order to build a rival street car system and in most instances paralleling the present system; if it succeeds, as in every other instance, no Afro-American will be permitted to take out a shovel full of dirt to prepare for the laying of the ties and rails, to say nothing of being employed in the system. Whatever organized labor wants it is always to the best interest of the Afro-American to want the other thing. HANCOCK SPEAKS OUT. There is one Afro-American in the city who is not afraid to stand by his "colors," for he has refused to deal with a firm that deliberately insulted a lady of his race. Mr. Clifford Carroll Hancock, who some months Page 3 ago bargained to buy the furniture for his dining room in the Waldorf, which will be ready for occupancy about November 1st, which bill of goods would have amounted to quite $2,000; has cancelled the order and informed the firm of Frederic & Nelson, furniture dealers, that he did so because that firm permitted Purchasing Agent Nettleton to refuse to serve Mrs. Graves in the dining room in the block run by the firm for the accommodation of its customers purely on account of her color. Now let's hope that that other Afro-American who is planning to furnish a hotel, will not even consider the firm of Frederick & Nelson when he starts out to purchase his furniture. Let's hope also that not another Afro-American in the city, county or state, will buy a dollar's worth of goods from this firm until that insult has been properly apologized for. You say the trade of the Afro-Americans does not amount to very much, and a big firm like that will not miss it. Do not fool yourself, for "every little bit helps,," and if every Afro-American will continue to pound away as has Mr. Hancock, if its only for $10 worth, it will eventually bring good fruit. It too often happens that Afro-Americans are insulted as was Mrs. Graves, and it is not resented by the other members of the race, which is a sad mistake. God hates a coward and if you are to make your mark among your fellowmen you will have to stand up for your rights. The Jews broke A. T. Stewart, the merchant prince, because he insulted their race. Organized labor drove John Wanamaker to terms for having insulted a working girl. While it is impossible for the Afro-Americans to break the firm of Frederick & Nelson, yet they can do the firm much harm, and it is the duty of you and each of you to do so. That firm is to soon open a cloak and suit department and if there is a single Afro-American woman that ever buys a dollar's worth from there such an one does not deserve to be a free American citizen. THE FORUM NEXT SUNDAY. This is September and high time that the Sunday Forum take on renewed energy. Next Sunday is the time for the regular meeting and you and each of you are expected to be on hand. There will be no set program for the meeting, but the advisability of holding a good old fashioned picnic September 22nd in fond remembrance of the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln, will be fully and freely discussed. If such a picnic is agreed upon every Afro-American in the city should take the day off and attend it. While its origin will be in the Forum it will mean every one that can do so to go out and make merry one with another and eat your dinner in the woods. End at Hand—With earthquakes in California and Chili, floods in Mexico, riot and bloodshed in Russia, insurrection in Cuba, and threatened war in Persia, together with the impending political war in Walla Walla, it looks as if the predicted end of this terrestrial globe is at hand. At least that is what believers in the Biblical prophecy are asserting.—Walla Walla Bulletin.

That the present political system of nom- inating men for county offices so far as the Republican party is concerned should be immediately changed, is apparent to all for under it corrupt ringdom names every nom- inee from constable to sheriff. The late Re- publican county convention was a mockery to free institutions and the supposed vox populi that is said to reign-king in the United States was a hiss and a by-word. It is abso- lutely impossible for any decent Republi- can to support the present ticket in its en- tirety and we therefore will not so recom- mend. The same corrupt gang: of political seullions that lead honest John Riplinger to slaughter dominated the late Republican THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN 3 county convention and we hope a like fate awaits them. In most instances the Negro of this coun- try is Republican in polities, but so far as the present Republican nominees in King county are concerned we see no good and suffi- cient or even reasonable reason for a single one of them voting for the ticket in Novem- ber. A few of them asked to be delegates to the county convention, but were simply sneered at. Two of them were candidates for membership on the county central..commit- tee, but their wishes were ignored. Finally for the first time sinee 1892 the Negroes were not recognized in making up the state delegation. No recognition one way or the other has been given the Negro from the present political rotten ring in King county and why should a single Negro vote to keep a lot of political pirates constantly in office. We recognize the fact that there are not over 800 Negro voters in the county and that un- der normal conditions that vote would pro- duce no bad results to the Republican party if every one of them voted for the Democratic ticket, but there is general dissatisfaction this year among the Republicans, and 500 of those votes might rebuke the court house ring in a manner that it would not soon for- get: The game is at least worth the race. Mead Is Directing—There is no longer any reason to doubt that Warden Kees is acting under the direction of Governor Mead in the war he is making upon the Ankeny political organization in this county and state, in spite of the fact that the warden owes all that he is and has been politically to that organization. Governor Mead has entered into a combination with the Pierce county clique and a few disgruntled Republican leaders of King county to make R. L: Me- Cormick, the recently defeated Republican candidate for mayor of Tacoma and repre- sentative of the Weyerhauser timber syndi- cate, the successor of Levi Ankeny in the United States senate. By tying up with this combination Mead hopes to secure a renom- ination for governor in 1908.—Walla Walla Union. Office Holders’ League—The Republican senators and representatives from this state appear to have formed an officeholders’ league with the main purpose in view of continuing themselves in power. This fact seems to have been clearly revealed at the King county love feast recently held at Seat- tle, at which function the members of the state delegation were all present with the exception of Representative Jones. Senator Ankeny was there, as was also his arch- enemy, ex-Senator John L. Wilson, who very appropriately played the role of the Death’s Head at the feast. Ankeny, Piles, Cushman and Humphries all made speeches, as did also a number of their political strikers, the burden of which in all cases was the advice to the brethren to ‘‘stand pat.’? This advice, however, was not so much in relation to that stationary position on the tariff question that we hear so much about, but pertained rather to the more important one of the main speakers continuing to hold down their present seats September 7, 1906 in congress; a little matter that more inti- mately concerns our gifted statesmen, who are undeniably stuck on their jobs.—North Yakima Herald. Out of Politics—Hon. John L. Wilson de- clares that he will never aspire to public office again. This does not mean that he is out of polities. Mr. Wilson now lives only to reward his friends and defeat his enemies. It is a poor policy and never succeeded. A man who works simply to spite another will find it a losing game in politics as well as in other occupations.—Columbia Chronicle. Well, why do you worry about it? If Mr. Wilson desires to and will play at a “‘losing game,’’ he is the architect of his own fortune and when he loses it will be nobody’s funeral, put ex-Senator John L. Wilson and the rest of us need give it no concern one way or the other. : Kees a Boss—It has long been the ambi- tion of A. F. Kees to boss the polities of this city and county. When B, D. Crocker left Walla Walla for Tacoma, Charles S. Painter predicted that Frank Kees would be the boss of this county. It was in line with that hope and prophesy that Kees made the race for chief of police three years ago, the plan being for Kees and Painter to control both the sheriff’s office and that of chief of police, as well as to dictate who should fill every other office within the gift of the people of the county.—Walla Walla Union. Banker Stensland of Milwaukee, who got away with some $1,000,000 of the money of his depositors, was another of ‘the distin- guished gentlemen’who opposed W. J. Bryan in 1896 on the ground that he stood for dis- honesty and was a menace to the savings of the widows and orphans.—Colfax Com- moner. Suppose he did, in what way, pray, is that responsible for his going wrong ten years thereafter? Hundreds and thousands of men who worked and voted for Bryan have since become common criminals, but the fact that they advocate Bryanism was in no sense responsible for it. Such talk is so silly that it is really disgusting. There are hundreds of preachers in the penitentiary and hun- dreds of others who ought to be there, but that is no argument against the doctrines of Christianity. Beautiful Theory—There is food for thought in the following words from the pen of William Allen White: ‘‘To grow in justice, men must learn to be just to one another without the law to make them. The law is only the spirit of the people, and if we would stop fraud and graft in high places, we must as men and women who organize the homes of this country, live there fairly and honorably so that children growing up and going out into the high places from these homes may take with them ideals of honesty and of simple justice to their fellows.’’—Ex. This is a beautiful theory, but seems to fall way short of the mark when it comes to actual practice. The person who will not take advantage of his fellow man in a busi- ness transaction in this age is hard to be found and yet there must be some.

One of the Biggest Contracts of the kind ever let on the Pacific Coast, amounting to over $200,000. Work to begin as soon as the streets are cleared, which will be completed within sixty days. Contracts for the laying of the sewer and water mains will be let this week. The Asphalt Paving Company will rush ahead as fast as good work will allow. They will employ over 100 men on the job. This is the fulfillment of the promise made by the Moore Investment Co. to the many purchasers of lots in University Park. You have very little time now to spare if you want to live in University Park. The following is a list of purchasers of University Park lots, among which are nearly all the University professors, fraternity societies and residents from the first and second hills, and other fine residence districts of the city, who desire to reside in University Park away from stores, apartment houses and other objectionable things.

Not one of the many achievements for Greater Seattle made through the Moore Investment Company will redound any more to that company's credit than will University Park. The hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1909 will be more interested in University Park than in anything else in Seattle. It will represent the most beautiful residence district in the state. It will be to them as a thing of beauty and a joy forever. University Boulevard, with its asphalt paving and wide parking strips, lined as it will be with elegant residences, will make a wonderful and lasting impression upon our visitors from abroad. To tell them that in less than 3 years previous to the opening of the exposition a building site in University Park cost only $1,300, with all the improvements paid, will surprise them more than anything else, as by that time the property will be worth several times more than $1,300. These are a few reasons why University Park has broken all records in the number of lots sold in a few days, which have amounted to over September 7, 1906 PERSONAL. Miss Smith and Mr. Ernest Morton of Everett were visitors in the city last Sunday. Miss Carrie Dixon entertained at dinner, on Tuesday afternoon, in honor of Miss Helen Stafford, of Spokane. Miss Clara Threet returned Tuesday morning from Victoria where she spent several days as guest of Mrs. Nettie Carter. Mr. Leo. Foster, of Washington, D. C., who was passing through the city, spent Tuesday evening with Mr. Clifford Hancock. A pleasant evening was spent at the home of Mrs. S. A. Glass on Tuesday, Sept 4. Miss Helen Stafford being guest of honor. Mrs. Banks, of St. Jose, formally of Seattle, is visiting in the city this week. Mrs. Banks expects to make Tacoma her future home. Mr. R. W. Butler, who went to Alaska a few months ago in search of better health, returned to the city on Friday, Aug. 31. His health is somewhat improved. Miss Barbara Davis was hostess of a dinner given at her home on Monday evening in honor of Miss Helen Stafford, of Spokane. The dining room was decorated with pink roses and carnations mingled with smilax. Covers were laid for six. Mr. I. I. Walker, who for the past eight years has delved deep in old mother earth in quest of golden treasure, has returned to Seattle to begin the battle all over again. While he did not bring back with him as many of the golden grains as he had hoped to, perhaps not enough to repay him for his labors, exposure, privations of life and finally the loss of one near dear to him—a better half—yet he brings back with him an experience that will serve him well in his new start. Mr. Walker has promised from time to time to communicate to The Seattle Republican some things that came under his observation while in Alaska that will prove to be interesting reading matter. SEATTLE THEATRE. The evolution of things theatrically has brought about a pleasing change in affairs at the Seattle Theatre, which is now the leading popular priced thetre of the Pacific coast. Russell & Drew took charge of it last week, and opened it last Sunday as a popular priced family theatre. "On the Bridge at Midnight," based on Longfellow's poem, was the attraction, and the play is being presented this week in a manner to find favor with the patrons, old and new, for many of the Third Avenue Theatre clientele has followed the management to the Seattle Theatre, and hereafter they will be found dividing their loyalty between the attractions playing at the Seattle Theatre and those at the Third Avenue, after it re-opens. Next week's attraction at the Seattle Theatre will be the Taylor Company. The Third Avenue Theatre will be dark. "Stolen by Gypsies" will be the play. It is a romantic drama, and the favorite actors of the Taylor Company will have congenial parts or character creations to enable the mto make a good impression on their admirers in the new home that will house them for next week only. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Laurette Taylor, who has many admirers in Seattle, will be seen in a new character next week. She has never before attempted the part as serious as the one she will be seen in next week. She will play "Mercedes," the wife of "Yosmite," the bandit, and "Lone Star," her daughter, whose soul has been transferred or transmigrated from the mother to that of the offspring. The play will be given the most elaborate scenic production of anything the Taylor Company has assayed here, and every member of the company will be seen to good advantage. If you want to see a revelation in costuming, Laurette Taylor's costume of "Lone Star" will afford the opportunity. Go to a respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watches. Low rates. Private offices and all business strictly confidential. American Watch and Jewelry Co., 908 First Avenue, opp. Rainier Grand Hotel. FOR FINE FASHIONABLE WORK J. M.
