Cetinje Montenegro: The long-existins
feud between the prince of Montenegro's
two sons, Danilo and Mrko, appears to
have reached such pitch of rancour that
it will become necessary for Prince Nichol-
as to exercise his parental and princely
authority to prevent the brothers waging
civil war on each other.
Mirbo is credited with doing his utmost
to render Danilo. his elder brother and
heir to the throne, unpopular with the
people. After Mirkos marriage with the
daughter of Col Constantinovitch, matters
only became worse, and Nicholas, though
he favors Mirko, was obliged to assign his
younger son a residence at Podgovitza.
Here Alirko is reported to have organized
regular campaign against Danilo and
even against his father.
Prisoners arrested during the disorders
at Andrijevitza declare that Mirko had
told them that his father must disinherit
Danilo, for he was drunkard and ehL.iiid.

has three departments of work.
The first is the agitation or educational
department. In this department most OF
our money and energy is expended.
The second department is legislative
the securing of progressive legislation
touching the liquor traffic. We worked
for eight years to secure the Beal local OPP
ton law, which gives the people the right
once in two years, upon the petition of 10
per cent of the qualified voters Of saying
by ballot whether or not they want sa-
looms in their villages or cities This law
has been in effect little less than TWO
years, and during that time 1862 towns and
cities have banished saloons.
If all the saloons put out of existence az
ready under this law We're placed side by
side, allowing 80 feet front to each saloon
1t would make row of saloons four miles
long. A number of other less prominent
but very important laws touching the
traffic have been secured in the meantime.
The purpose of the league everywhere Is to
press for local option or local prohibition
Just as fast as the growing public sentiment
demands
The league is not a political party. nor.
strictly speaking, an organization. 1t is
what its name indicates, A LEAGUE-a
league of all moral religious and reform or
CARNATIONS. 1t is no longer confined to
Ohio. 1t has spread to forty states and
territories with competent men in charge.
Within five years we expect to have in the
field 400 trained men, with every state and
territory thoroughly organized, with an
annual income of 81 100000 to pay the bills.
The man who looks upon the Anti-Saloon
league as an organization which has come
to build little local sentiment. to secure
the passage OF few laws or vote a few
hundred towns dry, has no conception of
the movement. These are the merest Incl
dents in its progress
1t is the federated church in action. and
has come to solve the liquor problem.

OPPOSITION TO
WICKERSHAM

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 20.-AIex-
ander Mckenzie of North Dakota. who
was receiver of the Anvil creek properties
at Nome in the time of the Moves judiciary
scandals in 1900 and who was sent to
Jail for contempt of court, is taking a
hand in the fight against the appointment
of Judge Wickersham to succeed himself
in the Third Alaska judicial district
He has had long talks with the presi
dent and with Attorney General Knox
about Judge Wickersham. The attorney
general has recommended to the president
that Judge Wickersham be reappointed
but such influences have been brought Ia
bear against the Judge that Mr.. Roosevelt
has felt compelled to hear what Wicker
sham's enemies had to say.
Mr., Mckenzie and others who are on
posing the judges reappointment have
charged Wickersham with nearly every
crime in the calendar. except murder
None of the charges have been made In
public, however, and the authors of them
are anxious that their participation in the
present campaign against the Judge shall
not become known
A fight is also being made against the
reappointment of Judge Brown in South
eastern Alaska, but by different persons.
A favorable report was made 10 the
house yesterday on Representative Cush
mans bill authorizing the construction OF
two steam launches for use in the Puget
Sound district for customs purposes. at a
cost not to exceed $50, 1000.

What Tacoma real estate men regard al
one OF the greatest accomplishments o.
The kind ever undertaken in this section

Twelfth streets. on the hill. About twenty
years ago this land was owned by a troupe

for some reason or other, the property
was divided among the members and the
association ceased to exist. The troupe
finally moved from this section of the
country and apparently abandoned the
land. At that time the property was out

able The report was circulated that the
land belonged to nobody and during the
boom days squatters built shacks there
for temporary homes. At one time there
were 1900 II the squatters living on the
property Many OF them moved away
again and some Of the shacks were torn
down. but great many remain and about
zoo people are living there now.
The property has always been a source
OF contention and during the past % years
the title to different tracts has been In
litigation time and again. Different par
ties purchased land there. but could not
get a clear title to the property. Finally
the owners appointed S. r. Belkwill, J. 4.

and decided the property to them for the
purpose of getting the title cleared and
the property plotted
The trustees had the property surveyed
and plated. and for 5000 gave the city
the right Of way through the property for

WATER CLUB HOUSE IN VARIOUS STAGES OF CONSTRUCTOR

Perhaps the boys do not want a tree
house or backyard workshop, but it may
be that the cave does not appeal to them.
The taste of all boys is not the same.
Living near the water, it may be that the
smell of the salt or the fresh water has
penetrated their nostrils. and nothing but
water club house will satisfy them. If
this Is true, 1t is easy to plan for a shanty
on the water for next summer.
lt Is impossible for boys to have club
house where the water is deep unless
they are equipped with q pile driver. and
1t Is not TO be supposed they are. Consid-
ering that the club house is to be built IN
water no deeper than the chest, every inch
makes 1t more difficult for the boys to
work.
If the bottom of the bay or lake where
you decide to construct your house is of
soft mud the foundation piers may be built
by driving with wooden-headed maui
(which will not sink several stakes in a
circle, over which a barrel may be placed
Making these cribs is fun. Sometimes
box may be used instead Of barrel, or
vines may be woven in and out around the
stakes. A barrel however, will be found
as handy as anything.

at the other. They must be at least seven

feet out of water. When placed in the
center of the barrels the latter must be

Eight barrels should be used This will
give one for each corner post and one each
for each long side The barrels should he

The rear uprights should be strapped
with a 2x4 across the top, as should the
front two. Between the back and front
uprights another should be placed, its
height being asoertained by laying plank

top of the rear upright The latter should
be several inches lower than the front.
The roof need not be made from matched
lumber. Wide planks with lath over the

it waterproof The sides should be put

covered with beautiful homes.
The abstract books will be placed in
the office Of the county auditor for the
use Of the property owners in that dis
trict
What will further increase the value Of
the property is that the city is preparing
to open Twelfth street. 1880 having been
appropriated for that purpose. Twelfth
street runs through the southeast corner
Of the property and forms part Of the
southern boundary.

I cepted the plat and abstract.
The part that Judge Parker, as city
attorney, took in the matter was largely
in advising Attorney Parsons Judge
Parker was well qualified to do this, as
while he was one of the Pierce county
superior court judges he had been called
upon to examine and render opinions in
which the title to this property was in
yolved.
Because of the unsatisfactory condition
of the title to the land, people refused to
invest there. Property all around the
tract had been improved and handsome
residences built there.
The matter is now entirely cleared mp
and the title to the "Nigger tract" is as
good as that of any property in the city
Streets have been laid out and are being
improved and the shacks are fast dsap-

The Hyde Park Bank holds the record
of having never owned a poor note since
it's organization in January, 1893; a fact
which is easily accounted for when il is
considered that the loans are all in Yer

can easily be examined by bank officials
Absolute safety rather than the high
rate of interest that can be secured on
western loans is the first preduiste de-
manded by the Hyde Park Bank in max
ing loans.
