TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM
Seattle Trying to Work It Out
For Fair

SEATTLE, May 14.-SeattIe Elec
trio company officers will work out
the problem of taking care OF A.-Y.-
P. exposition traffic as soon as the en-
s,ine RS for the 1903 fair complete their
ground plans. A loop will De con-
structnc IL the fair grounds for ham
ding all street car lines centering at
The university and trackage enough
will be built to tiNr care of all the
cars needed tc move promptly visitors
to the exposition.
At least four and possibly half a
dozen lines will be built tU the expo
sitiOn grounds and there will be no
lack of transportation facilities avail
able on the day the exposition opens
it's satcs. In addition to the street
car systems centCring at the eXposi-
tion grounds, a fleet of steamers on
Lake Washington will handle traffic
to and from the university grounds,
making connections at Madison street,
Madrona and LesChi parks with street
cars leaving for the city.
All lines leading to the exposition
grounds will be double tracked and as
many cars as are needed for the
traffic will be handled by the Seattle
Electric company. 1t is believed by
both the exposition and street rail-
way arrangements that there will be
no such unpreparedness as character
iZed the opening of the jamestown eX-
position last month.
Most of the exposition traffic prob
ably will be handled on the univer-
sity line, and that is to be double
tracked for it's entire length long be-
fore the exposition is opened in 1909.
The one line is far from sufficient for
the business that will be offered, but
this is overcome by plans for other
street railway construction.
The proposed Twenty fourth Avenue
line is to be built from the univer-
sity grounds to Jackson street and win
be double tracked it's entire length.
Transfer can be made to this line from
all the hill lines. The Broadway and
Pike street line will be extended to
the exposition grounds. and another
line is planned from Wallingford Ave-
nue. on Forty-fifth street out to the
exposition. There is a possibility this
line may be extended as far as Bal
lard.
1t has not yet been fully decided
but Seattle Electric company officials
are contemplating the construction OF
a line from Fremont, on the north side
of Lake Union, out to the exposition
If this line is built it will mean big
addition to the fair grounds service.
for the road will be one of the mos.
direct that will reach the exposition.
Plans for taking care of the EXPOSE
ton travel are satisfactory to the
managers of the 1909 fair, who believe
the new service will be all that the
traffic needs. Incidentally the new
car service will permanently build up
q section of the city that is in need
of better car service.
Plenty of time, it is explained, re-
mains in which the Seattle Electric
company can complete it's new rail
way system for the care of exposition
travel The gates of the fair will not
be opened for two years, and the street
railway company plans to begin pre-
parations as soon as the exposition
management completes it's ground
plans and it can be understood just
what is wanted.

home Of Ernest A. Weldon, a Seattle
Electric company foreman. found Mrs.
Weldon suffering from spinal menin-
gifts, in it's earlier forms. At first 1
applied the usual remedies namely
morphine to relieve the pain, an injec-
ton of hydro bromide of hyoscya mine
for nervousness, and used leeches,
mustard plasters and cupping to draw
the blood to the surface and away from
the congestion in the spine and neck.
She grew worse and in few days had
every symptoms of the malignant form,
such as extreme pains in the neck and
back of head, her head drawn back,
muscles of the arms and limbs con-
tracted, herpes or form of fever sores
in the mouth and wild delirium.
Il then decided to try the lamp on
her. believing it would have a beneficial
result. though not daring to hope that
it would prove such a decided success.
1 had her husband connect the lamp
with the lighting circuit, and turned
her over in the bed. The treatment
applied for 20 minutes, the lamp being
held a foot away from the flesh and
moved slowly back and forth over the
back and NECK. At the end of that
time, she dropped into a calm sleep,
the first in four days, and on waking,
was rational, also the first time in
days. She slept for three hours. The
treatment was applied again at inter-
walls of four hours, and recovery was
steady from then on.
THE only other time l have tried this
treatment was on Albert Gertner. a
young man. l was called to this home
a week ago. in the evening. At first |

nant form. the kind that is usually ia
tai within forty-eight hours. l had
him taken to ST. Luke's hospital at
once, and placed in room next to that
of Mrs. Weldon, so that the same lamp
could be used. His case responded 20

longer delirOus, his limbs and head are

points to his recovery. yet it is too
early to say that he is out of danger.

chemical action of the rays from this
lamp tends to promote circulation, thus
carrying off germ life"
In announcing his discovery, DR..
Churchill was not prompted to do so
by any desire for nOtoriety, in fact he
preferred to have his name withheld
from the discussion. In giving the re-
suit of his recent observations to the
world DR.. Churchill has done so sole
ly for the enlightenment of the medical
profession and any possible benefit
that may accrue therefrom to persons
afflicted with spinal meningitis.

SEATTLE PHYSICIAN DECLARES He HAS
FOUND CERTAIN CURE FOR MENINGITIS

SEATTLE. May 14.-Cure for spinal
meningitis is believed to have been
found in the Rogers Therapeutic
Lamp, an invention of a Seattle physi-
clan. and used for the first time in the
treatment of this most fatal disease by
another Seattle physician, DR.. F. A.
Churchill. Two malignant cases which
under ordinary treatment would doubt
lessly have proved fatal. and the only
two cases the treatment has been tried
on. responded to it Immediately. Both
patients now are on the high road to
recovery.
The lamp used is simply a 500 candle
power lncandescent therapeutic lamp,
with hood reflector and can be bought
at various Seattle stores
The bulb is much the same in ap-
pearance. as an ordinary round incan-
descent lamp. The filament is very
large. The hood reflector is used sim
ply to increase the light, and is made
of copper, nickel-plated. 1t can be at
tached to any lighting circuit
Asked to explain the treatment, DR..
Churchill described it briefly as fol-
lows:
II have used 500 candle power in
candescent therapeutic lamp in the
treatment Of some diseases for a pc
Rod of four or five years. 1t is made
by several firms, and is used by large
number of physicians. l found it sue
cessful for several diseases, and believe
its principal. that of the use of light
rays will in time be used much more
generally, for light has a tendency to
destroy germ life.

water naturally drains but this water
finding underground channels appears
on the slopes as temporary springs
wherever excavations or natural
pockets are TO be found. On the levels
the soil has become saturated and this
implies that all low-lying areas are

collections of water are of longer or
