Road Manager, Who Re-

No one as yet has been named for
the berth of general manager of the
Pacific Electric and Los Angeles In
terurban railways to succeed A. d.
SCHNEIDER, who acknowledged before he
left the city Saturday night that his
resignation had been rendered to take
effect April 1.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER gave no further reason
for his resigning than that his contract
expires at the date mentioned. He
said that he had given H. E. Hunting
ton notice in plenty of time in order
that he might be able to secure the
services of someone who would take
charge of the executive duties of the
road on the first of next month.
The retiring official was unwilling to
talk about his plans for the future,
but 1t has been said on good authority
that he is slated for a good position
with the Santa Fe Railroad company.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER is considered as a
good railroad man and competition for
his services is said to have been strong
since it became known that he would
retire from the service of the electric
A Busy Career
Mr.. Schindler's connection with the
electric lines has been a busy. re-
sponsible and successful one. Much
credit of the perfection to which the
lines over which he has had control
have been brought belongs to Mr..
SCHNEIDER.
His railroad career was started in
1886 when he entered the engineering
department Of the Southern Pacific
Afterward he occupied the position OF
assistant engineer for various roads in
the western states until 1892.
During the next two years he was as
sistant engineer for the Southern Pa
oific and was resident engineer OF the
Yuma & Tucson division during the
following year.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER was assistant engineer
and superintendent of the San Fran
cisco & San Joaquin Valley railroad
from 1895 to 1898. He was superinten-
dent of the valley division of the Santa
Fe from 1899 to 1905, which position
he left to become general manager of
the Pacific Electric and Los Angeles In
terurban railways.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER has made a host of
both business and social acquaintance

WATCH
TACOMA
GROW!

A million of the little cards bearing
the above inscription will be be dis
tributed in Southern California by the
Washingtonians who are now in Los
Angeles. John Blauuw of Tacoma was
the originator of the cards. and every
where a Tacoman goes those cards are
sure to go.
Whether it be on the street or in a
saloon or in the hotel or in fact any
where at all, a Washingtonian can al
ways find an excuse for passing around
the bits of paper, printed on both sides
with boost of the northern city.
Bauuw, the originator of the card
idea and many other advertising propo-
sitions, is a clever advertising man.
The personality of Blauuw is most
striking. He is more than six feet tall
and looks every inch Of the Morse vik-
ing from whose race he is descended
His head could be no more aptly de-
scribed than by the word leonine.
Keeps Presses Busy
Millions of the slips of paper were
distributed by Blauuw and other Ia
comans at the Portland fair. In an in
terview with Albert G. Johnson, man.
aging editor of the Tacoma News, the
following description of conditions al
Tacoma was given:
Watch Tacoma Grow is a part was
devised by Blauuw. So many of the
little bits of paper have been dis
tributed that a set of presses are kept
constantly running to supply the de-
mand.
Tacoma has emerged from a period
of slow methods and hard times and
now the metropolis of the northwest is
one of the most prosperous in the west
"a fight between two great railroads
for the control of the downtown real
estate of the city is responsible for
much of the new prosperity. Hartman
and Hill are trying their best to obtain
real estate in the heart of the city and
the result has been that a large num-
ber of people who were moderately we'll

more than $7,OOOOOO has been ex-

"This has started a boom and the
old boom in the eighties when every
one became a millionaire was nothing

of so much money in so short space
of time has been that there are a great
many new faces in the automobiles.
Among those who have made good
in Tacoma was Thomas Jefferson Fleet
wood Fleetwood formerly was part
owner of a haberdashery on Broadway
near Fourth street in Los Angeles.
HE came up to Tacoma with pre-
cisely $3.50 in his pocket. This he in
vested in tidelands and now he is worth
probably $4,000 in cash. Fleetwood
was a prominent Elk of Los Angeles
before he went north and is affiliated
with that society in Tacoma. That is
merely one incident.
present day conditions in Tacoma
are rather peculiar There are three
parties striving for control of the town.
The election of the mayor will take
place in a few days. One man named
Wright is backed by Hartman, an
other, Mccormick, is said to be under
the domination of the Northern Pacific

But one or two apartments are now

strenuous struggle between landlord

1t is all over and apparently Fred
Marshall, the owner, has come out of

a rapidly approaching unsanitary condi-
