Slowly the idea of Fourth OF July
celebration is being assimiia,ed In the
minds OF Seattle citizens and soon It will
bring forth fruit in the shape OF pubic
meetings for the arrangement of details.
The great question seems to be how the
celebration can be gotten under way. Al
most every one spoken to on the suhiec.
Is favorable TO a day OF general observance
but not one seems anxious TO take active
measures in the start. The prevailing opin-
ion among business men IS that the initia-
tive should be taken by the Chamber of
give substantial backing to anything I'M
dertaken and would he a great aid in the
beginning. Another idea is TO have a meet
ing called by the officers of last years
celebration committee and at such a meet
ing organization could be perfected.
Mayor Humes said yesterday that he
was ready TO help in any steps that might
be taken and that he would join with
any one else in calling a meeting though
he did not care TO do so alone. Il beliaya
with others he said, that the Chamber
OF Commerce should take this up in order
10 give it a successful start. There is a
general disincination TO shoulder the re-
sponsibility and even the dictates OF pa
triotsm cannot induce one to so ahead
In this matter without feeling behind him
the unwavering support of a majority of
the citizens. l am anxious for the sake OF
tae city TO see something done at once
and will do what l can to help it,
An astute real estate man sized up the
situation from his point of view by saying
1t may be an unpopular thing to say
and do not care TO be quoted. but the
fact is a Fourth OF July celebration has
become matter of dollars and cents. The
only people TO handle q thing of this kind
are such men as will reap direct benefit
from its success. A crowd must be at
tracted from other cities and towns and
the people who would sell things 10 the
crowd are the ones who would work hard
est and contribute the most money for A
demonstration. Let the merchants. the
cigar dealers. the restaurant hotel and
saloon keepers come TO the front. II the
Chamber OF Commerce would make a start
/ believe the business men would support
the move. They would do so as a proiita-
bic investment IL for no other reason. Do
not understand me as saying that Seattle
citizens are deficient in enthusiasm. but
simply that the experience of Fourth of
~ats SVHiHittceS III the past mas been rath-
en- discouraging.'
The attitude OF the Chamber OF Conn
merce S yet uncertain since no suggestion
has yet been made in its meetings of the
approaching holiday. The subject will
probably receive consideration at the next
regular meeting OF the chamber and from
expressions heard from one or two mem
bers or the executive committee Il Is
thought probable that favorable action
will be taken.
The Elliott Bay Yacht Club may be de-
pended upon to arrange its annual yacht
Ing regatta. II is probable the club will
nave Its annual races on July whether
any entertainment Is offered in the rest
of the city or not

The question has arisen in city hall
circles whether the city itself will not
be liable in CASE suits for damages are
brought by residents of Montana street
who claim that their property has been
injured by blasting in the shaft which
General John A.. Leggat is sinking on
Montana street between Broadway and
Granite streets close 20 the sidewalk on
the Fast side OF the street. General
Leggat is in pursuit of the vein of the
Thomas lode and believes he is ON a
hot trail and hat fabulous riches will
be found directly under Butte IL he can
only get to IL. He got a tip. but whether
1t came from natural or supernatural
sources is not known. He asked the
city for permission to sink a shaft on
Montana street between the sidewalk
and the road in a place where IL would
not interfere with traffic. He was
granted the permission. provided he
would put up a bond indemnifying the
city against all damages and from all
injuries n TO restore the street to as
good a condition as II was before he

acting on the advice of the city attor-
ney. declined to accept the bond. There
was no objection to the sureties. who
are NJ. J. Connell and John T.. Lloyd.
But the objection was TO the form of
the bond. the city attorney considering
that IL was too indefinite as TO time. no
provision being made as 10 when the
work should start and when IL should

planned TO the culprit that IL was not
