that it was a time for quick thinking.

decision was made. He jumped for the

Manning had been absent without

he reported at the Office. He went at

Manning failed to catch the signih

ELECTRIC line FROM
TACOMA TO ORTING

Tacoma, Sept. ia trolley line
twenty -one miles in length connecting
Puyallup, Orting and Sumner with
Tacoma, will be constructed within
the corning year by the Tacoma Rail-
way & Power Company and the Puget
Sound Electric Company.
The line will connect with the Seat
tle-Tacoma interurban road just north
of the point where the road crosses
the Puyallup river. It will traverse
the richest agricultural district in the
vicinity Of Tacoma and will lessen the
distance by trolley road from Tacoma
to Puyallup by eight miles. The road
will cost nearly $500. 600, will be built
of the heaviest equipment, and will
give an hourly service between Orting
and Tacoma and the intermediate
points. The line will bridge the Puy-
allup river three times, these being
the maximum engineering feats. The
country traversed is all level valley
land.
Franchises will be asked Of the val
lev towns at once and work will be
commenced within a month. The
greater part of the right of way has
already been secured.

STATES VALUATION IS
ABOUT $525,OOO,0OO

Olympia, Sept. Washington g
state tax levy will be based on an az
gregata valuation of about $685., 600,
600. -or practically the same aggregate
as reported by the several counties,
instead of at about $3.50, 900, 600, as
was commended for by State Auditor
Clausen.
Mr.. Clausen pointed out that to
leave the valuations at the larger fig
ure would result in the collection of
much more money than is needed for
the highway and military funds, levies
for which funds are fixed by law and
cannot be changed. He stated that
the military fund now has more cash
on hand than it will need for the en-
suing year; that really no levy is
needed for that fund and none would
be made but for the mandatory law.
Enough Money for State Roads
He also declared that the fixed high
way levy on the smaller valuation
would bring in all the money that
would be needed for so-called estate
roads," more in fact than the last leg
islature appropriated, and that the
last appropriation will, to large ex-
tent, revert back because it is greater
than is required for expenditures.
Mr.. Rockwell led the opposition to
the Clausen plan. He pointed out
that even if the higher valuation re-
suits in raising more money than
enough for military and road funds
the extra money will not be lost. The
extra cash will lie in the state treas
ury and only such amounts will be
expended from these funds as the leg
islature appropriates from the funds.
Finally the following resolution draft
ed by Land Commissioner Ross, was
adopted:
"Moved that this board proceed to
classify property and equalize the as
sessments thereof as between counties
SO that the total equalized value shall
be as nearly as practicable equal to
the aggregate value as returned by the
county boards.

California President Can See No Good in
Spelling Reform"

California President Can See No Good in
Spelling Reform"
Stanford University, Cal, Sept. II
Commencement exercises, which were
postponed from last June, were held
here Saturday night. The commence
ment address was delivered by Benja-
min Ide Wheeler, president of the
University of California. President
Wheeler's address was on the subject
of philology. In the course OF his ad-
dress he said:
"The establishment by the United
States of standard of written Eng
lish different from that recognized
elsewhere in the English speaking ter
ritory is an isolated and indecisive
movement promising loss and waste
to intercourse and culture and intro
ducing consciousness of contrariety
where the opposite is desired.
'The English language is not the
property of the people of the United
States, still less of the government; it
is precious possession of the English
speaking world, and the moral author
ity to interfere in it's regulation must
arise out of the entire body and not
from segment thereof.
''Any radical change such as.for in
stance, would be involved in phonetic
writing, would have the effect of cut
ting US off from the language of Shakes
peare and the English Bible, making
this semi-foreign idiom, to be &C.
quired by special study.
''The proposal gradually to intro
duce, through the cooperation of vol
unteers, certain number of new spell
ings, and then, when these are we'll
under way, presumably certain others,
seems to promise an era of CHASTITY con-
fusion in printing Offices and in pri-
vate photography and heterography, as
we'll as much irritation to- readers
eyes and spirits.
''The list of 800 words proposed by
the simplified spelling board is some.
what haphazard collection, following
no very clear principle of selection.
One hundred and fifty seven of them,
such as color for colour, are already
in their locked form familiar to Am
erican usage. There is no excuse,
however, for thru (for through from
any point of view."

Jones Opposes Plan

This plan is opposed by Representa-
tive Jones, who rather considers the
Celtic project more important than
the bar project. at least to the Upper
Columbia river region, which wants
lower transportation rates to and from
tidewater. He takes the view that the
Cello barrier, which now PREVENT
navigation up and down the river,
should be opened as soon as possible,
and that the bar improvement is not
as urgent as is alleged, because ships
of % feet and more draft can already
pass in and out.
This opinion'is shared by Mr.. Rams
dell, and he urges that the two pro-
jects be striven for together, saying
that otherwise there will be divided
effort, which will react against the in
terests of the entire river.
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Ransdell said
that it is extremely unlikely that the
jetty can obtain So, 500, 900, or that
even the whole Colubmia river can
secure such sum. Both were even
doubtful that there will be a river and
harbor bill at all next year.

CANNOT GET $2,5OO,O0O
FOR JETTY AT THE BAR

Portland, Or, Sept. 17.-That the
So, 5OO,OOO needed for completion of
the Columbia bar jetty cannot be Sc
cured next year from congress is the
opinion of congressman Ransdell, of
Louisiana, and Jones, of Washington,
members of the rivers and harbors
committee, who Saturday inspected
the jetty, escorted by members of the
Chamber of Commerce, Gov. Cham
berlain and others.
That it is inadvisable to resume
work on the jetty until this sum shall
be available, either as an appropria-
tion or under continuing contract, if
very wasteful construction is to be
avoided, was the opinion Of the two
committee members, which accorded
with the view of Col. Roessler an
nounced before meeting of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce Friday
night. Col. Roessler advised further
that money should not be diverted
from the bar project by insistence upon
sums of money for other improve
ments on the river, larger than are
necessary for maintenance of present
work.

May Require Ten Days
After the hearings Secretary Taft

complete his errand. He considered
the afct that representatives of every
faction had visited the agents of Pres

Mr.. Taft was careful not to commit
himself to either faction, but encour.

Early in the morning Minister Nor

to President Palma, who spoke freely
