GETTING READY
FOR NEW WHEAT

Plans for handling the season $
grain output are being made at the
elevators and warehouses of Taco
ma Wheat will begin moving tle
last of this month, but business will
not be brisk with the shippers until
the middle of August. Many changes
ares to be made in the methods OF
handling the grain whereby it can
be taken from the cars and loaded
on the large ocean liners with great
er speed and less congestion than
has been the case heretofore. the
warehouses are being cleaned up
and old stock is being moved TO make
room for the new crop.
Although the wheat crop OF the
West is said not to be up to the
standard in quantity, it is anticipat-
ed chat the Tacoma houses will ham

MAMMOTH SHIPMENT OF STEEL
RAILS FOR new JAP RAIL WAY

The commercial progress of Japan
is apparently not being stayed by
the present difficulties with Russia.
Evidence of this is found in the
large quantities of general freight
and machinery being sent from the
Pacific coast to that country
Every vessel that has left Tacoma
for Japan during the past six
months has carried engines, boilers
and machinery for new enterprises.
The bill of a shipment of 3 carloads
of steel rails has just been received
at the local Office of the Kosmos line.
The steel is killed to Yokohama and
to the same company to which were
shipped the 5 locomotives which
were sent from here a few weeks
ago. The rails will probably be sent
to Japan on the Stentor, which is due

yorable than ever.
Real estate men do not feel at all
alarmed over the fact that the op-
tions recently taken on q few pieces
Of Seattle tide-lands have been all
lowed to lapse. The reason for that
is easily seen. The options that were
allowed to lapse were on lands nor
easily accessible for railroad purpos-
es and the price was so high as TO be
practically prohibitive. The price in
some instances has been placed at
$4,000 an acre.
Little significance Is attached to
the purchase by Everett parties OF
two small tracts of lald east Of the
Puyallup river. l.. K. Manning, who
made the deal. says: "That trans
action does not mean anything. 1t

other tide land deals These people
bought the land for Investment, just
as they might buy anywhere"

MAYOR WRIGHT KICKS A HOLE IN
AN ALLEGED BOOM FOR GOVERNOR

A political boomlet born in the
stiffness of night and of doubtful
parentage was showed out into the
cold world this morning, to be quick
ly punctured by sudden contact with
a bunch of hard facts.
It's alleged purpose was to land
Tacoma's chief executive at the head
of the Washington Democratic state
ticket. 1t came as great surprise
to the mayors political friends and
its existence was quickly ended by
Mayor Wright himself.
"Such talk is futile" said Mayor
Wright disgustedly, when The Times
asked him If he was out for the nom
ination for governor and showed him
a column article on the subject in a

addition to the arrest of the men,
everything on the premises that was
used in connection with the illegal
traffic was ordered seized.
Deputy Sheriff Dpten gathered in
the spells, but there were no intoxi-
cants found, and not much Of any
thing else to indicate that the sale
of such was being carried on.
1t is alleged that the United States
license of these men ran out on July
|, and 10 dispose of liquor without
this license means q penalty of from
one to five years in1he penitentiary.
The three men are Ben McHindley,

morning paper.
There is not the slightest doubt, ''
he continued, "but that ex-senator
Turner will be the head of the Demo
cratic state ticket. The Story was
not started by any of my friends, but
came from those who want to an
tagonize Mr.. Lister, Pierce county
candidate for the nomination for
lieutenant governor on the Demo
cratic ticket"
Mr.. Wright's friends characterize
the story as a pipe dream. The fact
is also pointed out that an agreement
was reached by party leaders some
time ago whereby Pierce county was
to be permitted to name the lieu
tenant governor as its share of the
convention honors.
