THERE ARE numerous projects now on
foot for obtaining the exclusive right Of
crossing the Potomac river on the piers OF
the old Alexandria canal acqueduct at
Georgetown. If the right to use the pierre
referred to for railroad purposes be ever
granted, the Virginia congressional delsga-
ton should make it their especial business
to see that no monopoly be granted with
that right, but that it be general, and be
allowed to all the roads that may apply
for it.

Great Preparations at Renton to Enter

Great Preparations at Renton to Enter
tain the Labor Unions.
The town of Renton is in an extra
ordinary state Of hustle. This unusual
activity is caused by the preparation for the
mammoth picnic to be given there by the
labor unions on September 1. Several car
loads of lumber have arrived from Seattle,
and are being carted to the places where
the principal festivities will eventuate.
Half dozen carpenters are busily en-
ployed transforming this lumber into
tables, refreshment booths, benches and
dancing platforms.
The locality selected as the central point
of operations is charming little park of q
couple of acres in extent. fronting on
Cedar river. A more picturesque place
could not be chosen. Huge trees over
shadow the greensward, and the musical
ripple of the swift running river soothes
the air with gentle melody, while the beauty
of surrounding nature fills the soul with
transport
The approach to this lovely spot is over

is needless to say to those who know the
gallantry of Mr.. Spring that the offer of
the young ladies was accepted with avidity
Two large dancing platforms, one 40x60
and the other 30x60 feet in size, will be
erected. The larger one will be an alfresco
affair, where the young ladies and their
swains can disport on the light fantastic toe
under the arboreai shade, while the other
will be rooted in for the benefit OF those
fair ones who fear that exercise in the
open air will injure the velvety texture of
their compilations. Clusters hall and Odd
Fellows hall have been secured for the eve-
ming, SO that those disposed may chase
the glowing hours with flying feet as long
as they wish.
1t is expected by Mr.. Spring and his as
sociates that there will be at least 1000
people present at the picnic. and that it
will be the largest and most enjoy able
gathering of wage-earners ever held in the
state of Washington. Various games and
athletic events will take place, and liberal
prizes have been donated to the particle
