Germany Prosperous.

The wealth of the German nation is
multiplying with marvellous rapidity.
Herr Dernburg, the colonial secretary,
puts the increase during the two de-
cades, 1Ss4-1904, at 10000. 900, 900 marks
(21,420, 000), and even the social demo-
cratic organ, Vorwaerts, accepts the
figure without protest. Every indica-
ton points to condition of almost un-
paralleled prosperity among all classes
Of the people today. The income tax
returns Of Prussia for 1908, published
a month ago, show an aggregate of
Prussian incomes 9.5 per cent larger
than that for 1907, which, in turn, was
more than 15 per cent larger than that
for 1906.
the volume of emigration, the amount
of Unemployment among trade union
lists, and the showing of savings banks
deposits all point very forcibly in the
same direction Emigration from Great
Britain is, proportionally, ten to f1fteer
times as heavy as from Germany, un-
employment at least three to foul
times more widespread, and the in
crease Of savings banks deposits les:
than one-twenty-fifth as rapid. The
cost of living. especially the price Of
years, but it is still lower than in Greai
Britain and the rise in wages during
the same period has more than com.
pensated the working1nan.
If Germany Is not already tbs
wealthiest nation in Europe, as some
economists contend, she seems at leas-
on the sure road to becoming so. and
she is today indisputabiy the mos
prosperous. During the past thirty
years the empire has accumulated 9

Asthma plant of Queensland

The euphorbias are very numerous in
the colony of Queensland, and among
them is the Euphorbia piluifera. the
Queensland asthma plant" which has
a remarkable reputation for curing this
troublesome complaint Several phar-
maceutical preparations of the plant
are extensively sold in Australia.
Analysis shows that a green plant con-
tanned 70 per cent by weight of water
and 3 per cent of ash, leaving Is points
of vegetable matter. A dried plant
contained an alkaloidal substance to
about one part in a thousand. 1t con-
tanned also a plucosidal substance to
the amount of not more than four parts
in the thousand. Possibly one or both
of these was the active principle of the
piant--London Globe.

gigantic lines of enterprise whose cost
was not carefully counted in the be-
ginning. The gap between income and
expenditure continues to widen. But
every impartial observer is obliged to
come sooner or later to the conclusion
that the difficulties of the situation are
merely inevitable to the launching of
new and ambitious world power in an
era of International prodigaIity such as
the last three decades have been. And
there is no reasonable doubt that, with
the German people and their resources
as they are, the kaiser's strong box will
never fail him at a really critical time.

BRUSH FIRES KEEP
The DEPART MENT
BUSY

Brush fires are proving a
source of annoyance to the fire de-
.partment. They were called out
twice yesterday afternoon to ex-
tinguish fires that had got beyond
control. A brush fire that started
near the Children's home yester-
day afternoon extended as far as
North Twelfth street before 1t
could be checked.
The department was called to
the corner of Union avenue and
South Twentieth street yesterday
afternoon. Supposing that the fire
was out, the department left the
place, but a few hours later citi-
zens in the vicinity were called
out and had to work hard to pro-
tect their property.
The brush fires are hard to
contend with, for the flames will
get into a rotten stump, smolder
for hours and then suddenly break
into life, scattering sparks about,
and again starting fires.
A small fire that started in the
filing room of the Pacific Box fac
tory, East Twenty-sixth and l
streets, gave the department run
at z o'clock last evening. The
damage was nominal.

AUTOS CRASH;
DAMAGE $500

Two automobiles collided on
the prairie road, several miles be-
yond South Tacoma, at 10 o'clock
last night. A car owned by w.
B. Sanford was returning from
the Country club when it met an
auto owned by George Anderson
and driven by a man named
Clark. 1t is said that both cars
were going at high rate of speed
and, before they could sheer clear
of each other, they struck side on.
The tonneau of the car owned by
Anderson was torn off and. the
side of the Sanford car was badly
damaged.
A young woman in the car driv-
en- by Clark was thrown 20 feet
but she was not badly hurt. The
damage to the cars is estimated
at $500.

VICTORY FOR TIGERS
BASEBALL WAR
NEXT YEAR
MAYBE

When II comes to lining up the
Northwest league for next year
Spokane will be against any mer-
ger with the Coast league and in
favor Of grabbing Portland and
going outlaw.
This is the tip given by Bob
Brown, manager and part owner
of the Spokane club.
1t looks now as IL next year
might bring on the long-looked-
for baseball war. The American
association is almost as strong as
a major league now and is APP
parently going to break into Chi
Gao, Pittsburg and other major
territory. This will probably start
hostilities. Then the Northwest
league has not been given a
square deal by the baseball COM
mission, which Is simply run by
the majors to suit themselves and
If it goes outlaw too there will
be a merry time.

SASS TuMBLES
FROM HIGH
ESTATE

Sass" the Tacoma police bull
dog with a record for good con-
duct extending over a period of
more than three years, has fallen
from his high estate.
Like many a human being,
Sass" was given authority and
he got swelled head. For many
months 1t had been his privilege
to ride in the patrol wagon, lie
around the station, or go to any
part of the city that he pleased.
All this time his conduct was
above reproach.
Monday morning Sass" was
made full-pledged member of
the force, and star No. IA was fas-
tened on his collar. 1t was noted
at once that the dog begun to
strut about the station and put on
airs, even to ignoring Captain
Read. But 1t was thought that
the feeling would wear off and the
dog was not criticised.
This morning when Sass" ap-
peared at the station he was not
good to look upon. The prize star
had disappeared, and the lacerated
jaws and bloody muzzle told a tale
of conflict. Their was a look of
disapproval in the face of Chief
Dudley as he gazed at Sass"
Discipline must be enforced"
said the chief. Sass will be
suspended for 80 days"
The dog probably understood,
for his head was bent downwards
as he followed Detective Brady
from the station.

Christy Mathewson and Fred
Tenney of the Giants have a neat
little thing they work to prevent
the hit and run or to head off an
aspiring base stealer.
With a man on first. Mathew
son suddenly whips the ball to
Tenney, who pays no attention to
the runner, who slides back to the
base to avoid being caught. In
stead, Tenney returns the ball to
big Six" at such an angle that
Christy, catching it as he stands
with his heel on. the pitchers
plate, gives with the ball, and
without the loss of a second,
brings his mighty right arm for
ward and delivers the ball to the
batter.

BURNING SLASHIRGS
CAUSE DENSE SMOKE

According to George S. Long,
Tacoma agent for the Weyer-
haeuser company and secretary Of
the Washington Forest Fire asso-
citation, the dense ball of smoke
that has hung over Tacoma for
the past 48 hours is not due to
forest fires, but to the burning of
slashings by farmers ant loggers,
somewhere in the western part of
the state. There is comparative
ly little danger of injury to good
timber this year, he says.
Reports from Vashon Island
say that three small fires started
on the island in the last three
days, but that they were promptly
controlled,

BERNARD MAY BE
MANAGER FOR
CLEVELAND
(By Unite1 Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 10
Secretary q. s. Barnard is most
prominently mentioned today as
the probable successor of Ma
poleon Lajoie, who resigned Tues
day as manager Of the Cleveland
baseball team. Lajoie will con-
tinue playing with the team,
which he has managed for five
years.
First Baseman Stovall, who
acted as manager for week this
season when Lajoie was injured,
is also mentioned as a possible
successor to the resigned manager.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-08-19

The effect is that the runner is
close to the base. while the bat
ter, unless particularly wide
awake, is caught mapping.
The success of the scheme de-
ponds entirely upon the accuracy
of Tenney's return throw. AS
soon as Mathewson throws the ball
he returns to his position on the
hill, gets the ball on his right
side, and his swing, as he gives
with the ball. is so natural that he
is able to deliver it to the plate
like lightning.
Just to show how far they car
ry things in the majors, it
might be mentioned that Tenney
and Matty practiced this stunt for
a month before springing it in a
game.
