Reason OF south Twelfth street Prop
erty Owners for Their Action.

There has been considerable discussion
concerning the action OF the property
owners aleng the line of South Twelfth
and South Fourteenth streets. which may
be misunderstood without explanation.
and for that reason the residents Of that
locality desire that the public may
thoroughly comprehend the situation.
The property owners contend that
South Twelfth street was never improved
according TO contract and that Tor at least
ten blocks at the south end not only the
grading vas badly done and the street left
in an unfinished condition. but that no
attempt has ever been made TO construct
sidewalks only on one side Of the street. An
inspection of the street at the south por-
tion reveals the fact that the street is Ut
tsrly impossible for man or beast. Before
the attempted improvement was m ade. the
property owners say. they had the use of

useless. Many Of the residents com.

work Was being done. but no attention

The same defects may be observed on

never been graded N anything like al

The supreme court in the case Of Wilson
vs.. the city of Seattle decided that the
South Twelfth street assessment under the
old city charter was void. because the
property owners had not received such
notice OF the assessment as Was required
BY law. and they argue that the city now
seeks under new assessment 10 make
that right which the highest coart OF the
state has already declared wrong.
The property owners object to the re-
assessment for the reason that if imposes

than vas imposed under the law Of the cd
charter. and that those who signed unaer

and told of their discovery Of Greenland.
In 9S5 Eric led an expedition of IS ships to
Greenland, and soon all the habitable fords
Of the arctic island were peopled with North
men. Eric's son Lief went home to Nor
way In 900 and was converted to Christian
fly, which was just then raging in the fer
vor of new idea. He took priest to
Greenland and established churches, tho
remains Of edifices dating from the elev-
enth century being visible there today.
AT the time of Eric's discovery sea
king named Bjarni. voyaging between Ice
land and Greenland, was swept from his
course and driven nine days sail south
west from Greenland, where he sighted a
level coast. Lief, the jealous proselyter.
started with IS companions to find the land
described by Bjarni. lie first hit upon a
barren shore, with icy mountains lying in
land. Farther south he struck level,
randy shore, skirting forest country, and
still farther south and west river up
which he sailed to an inland sea. On the
shores Of that sea his followers found grapes,
and a colony was established that kept up
commerce with the Greenland Norsemen
for 10 years. No certain traces Of this mys-
terious Vineland have been discovered ex-
cept the tower at Newport be so considered,
but the Greenland colonies lasted until the
fifteenth century. Then succession of
calamities, the rayages Of fierce Eskimos,
a pestilence imported from Norway known
as the black death and an impenetrable ice
pack which settled along shore combined
10 extinguish the last Norsemen on the
American soil
Traditions of the Morse discoveries did
circulate among the maritime people Of
those early centuries. A rowing Welsh sail
or prince took the story SO straight from
the Norsemen that he sailed with an ex-
petition away to the west to some unknown
land and returped to make voyage In 10
ships, after which he disappeared from the
