Business on the waterfront is grad
ually assuming healthier condition
and everything is looking much
brighter than it has for several
weeks. The summer season has been
unusually quiet this year, though at
no time has it been disoouraging to
the waterfront men. During the
months of July and August, while
other ports on the Sound have been
complaining because of the almost
entire cessation of shipping, Tacoma
has been loading mammoth cargoes
into the ocean liners bound for the
Orient.
In this connection 1t ds interesting

the Tacoma exports are distributed.

a writ of habeas corpus. The argu-

WRIGHT AND NALONY'S COLLECTION
MACHINERY MAY NEED AN O|L|NG
Big Decrease in "Open Town" Revenues for August
Is UneXpEained-= Gamblers Have Been Given
a New Set of Names

A cog has slipped somewhere.
Something has gone wrong in that
mysterious mechanism through
which the open town" revenues are
collected. Wright and Mallory, in
ventors, managers and proprietors of
the intricate machinery" probably
know where the break occurred, but,
of course, the common people are
not expected to grasp those matters
anyhow, so why should the proprd-
etors, ct al, be called upon to ex-
plain?
Shortage of $4OO.
The fact of the matter is, there
was a slump during the month of
August, a decided slump of about
$400 in the amount of tariffs col
lected from the gamblers, the disor-
derly women and the Baldie Amalga-
mated Slot Machine syndicate.
Cause Is Unknown.
The cash book in the police court
shows the deficit, but why should
anyone ask the cause of an affair so
Insignificant? The clerk doesn' t
know, but then, all he has to do is to
write down the fictitious name, and
credit the unknown individual with a
certain amount paid. The gamblers

The small sum of $400 may have
been overlooked by the Wright-Ma-

some gambler, finding that he was
getting the worst of the deal under

New Array of Names.
The books show that $3,377 was
collected from the various "open

as the sum last month under the
