COUNCIL OBJECTS
To TAKING PAY
FOR GRAVEL

Eight councilmen don't want
the city to sell gravel-they prefer
to have contractors take it free.
Despite the fact that Commits
sioner McGregor reported that
there is no way to protect the city
gravel pit, at Delin street, which
cost Tacoma $4,000, and that in a
year the city will probably have
nothing, the council last night
turned down offers of a royalty of
from 81 to 10 cents yard for the
gravel, refused to call for bids
and practically gave notice to the
gravel diggers that they can go on
and take all they want.
Bell, Armstrong, Wilkeson,
Brand, Turnbull. Kregor, Stewart
and Russell voted against the city
getting anything for the gravel.

The firm favor held throughout
the country by Charles Klein's
great American drama, THE Lion
and the Mouse" has placed it upon
an equal plane of popularity with
Uncle Toms Cabin" and "The Old
Homestead for the good principles
made bare in the true-to-life teach
ings. THE Lion and the Mouse"
deals with a topic that has the seri-
Gus consideration of men in the bust
ness world of the present and APP
peals to every noble minded woman
through the constancy of Mrs. Ry-
der toward her stormy, money-mad
his ways by a sincere young woman.
The effect of this softening is obvi-
Gus as it illustrates to Ryder the
joys of love from home, rather than
money and power, and shows the
public how much suffering could
have been heaped upon the Ryder
household had not Mrs. Ryder been
the good sort she was in remaining
true to her VOWS through the many
brain storms of her spouse. The re-
ward was we'll worth the few re-
proaches of the man who has
thought of nothing but money, and
its getting. In considering a COM
parison it is but fair to the public
to assume that this drama will out
live the profitable existence of the
two mentioned older works.

Horse Scared to Death.

A valuable horse belonging to
Herriott Bros, wealthy farmers liv-
ing near Bedford, Iowa, was literally
scared to death by an automobile.
The Herriotts own fine Buick ma
chine. A roam roadster which they
own has always shown an unusual
fear of "chuchu" wagon, and one
day last week when one of the boys
ran the machine up to the horse at
the barn the animal simply died of
freight. He rared once, breathed
heavily o few times, then dropped to
the ground and expired.
