ROAD PLANNED FROM
SEATTLE TO MT. RAINIER

Seattle, Oct. 3O.-The route of the
second highway to the National Park
and Mt. Rainier has been determined.
1t will approach the park from the
north direct from Seattle. Major C.
w. Kutz, U. S. A., corps of engineers,
in charge, said that this highway
when completed, would be the most
elaborate in the development of the
great thoroughfares into the park. Aft
err entering the park and reaching an
elevation of about $500 feet, it will
turn west and skirt all of the numer-
GUS glaciers, until it reaches the south
ern side of Mt Rainier, at a point not
far from the Camp of the Clouds,
where it will connect with the present
road from Tacoma
"The plans for the improvement of
the park" said Major Kutz, "contem-
plate a road all around Mt. Rainier
at about snow line. The road from
Seattle will enter the park along the
stream flowing from North Mowich
glacier. The road will be constructed
as rapidly as the congressional ap-
preparation will permit. The road
from Tacoma will be completed next
spring to the Camp of the Clouds, the
only gaps now being at two points
requiring bridges. These will be con-
structed before travel begins next
spring. The work for the season was
completed on October Is. We hope
for an appropriation to widen the road
at dangerous places. This is the first
road to reach glacier, the Nisqually.
"Under rules for the control of trav-
ell this is the only national park in
which automobiles may enter at, any
time. The many unique features of
this park give it, in many respects,
unequaled attractions among all the
national parks.

AUTOS RESPONSIBILITY
FOR FRIGHT OF TEAMS.

Olympia, Oct. 30.-It is all right for
drivers of teams to hold a loose rein
but auto drivers in crowded streets
must not run at 25 miles an hour and
blow the horn just as they whizz past
a wagon, declares the supreme court
in the Tacoma damage suit of A. Grant
against John D. Armstrong and the
Bell Fuel Company. Grant was riding
in a wagon when Armstrong; auto
frightened the fuel compaliy's team,
which latter ran into Grants rig,
breaking Grants right leg, knocking
out four of his teeth and doing him
other injury. He sued both auto and
team owner, and the jury decided
against him. The Pierce county court
then dismissed the case as to the fuel
company and granted a new trial
against the auto owner This ruling
the supreme court now aff1rms.

GREAT NORTHERN STEALS
MARCH ON MILWAUKEE.

Spokane, Oct. 1910 prevent the
system from passing into the control
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
the Hill interests have bought 60 per
cent. of the common stock. The actual
buyer is the Northwest Improvement
Company, the holding company of the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific railroads.
The Spokane & Inland is capitalized
for S1O,OOO,O0O preferred and $10,OO0,-
900 common stock. Practically all of
the common is issued, while over half
of the preferred stock is still in the
treasury.
About six weeks ago the company
was negotiating for the sale of it's en-
tire system to the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, a deal which Hill did
not look upon with favor, hence his &C
ton in acquiring control of the prop
erty for himself
Hill already had a large interest in
the system, the records at Olympia
showing that the Great Northern own
ed S10S3,350 preferred stock and ST.
157,350 common. This would mean
that Hill owned 1000 shares of the
common, and his recent purchase of
80 900 more gives him control.
The Spokane & Inland has a total
of $50 miles in operation, through a
rich section of territory adjacent to
Spokane. 1t is said official announce
ment of the new control will soon be
made.

USEFUL TREES OF FLORIDA.
Great Variety Growing I'm the state
Durable Woods.

Great Variety Growing In the state
Durable Woods.
Florida has perhaps more useful
trees growing within her borders than
any other State in the Union-a great
er variety. But there is a general de-
sire to introduce more, as the soap
berry, the tallow tree and the euca-
lyptus.
An addition to the discussion of the
latter, tree which is very valuable
because it has the unusual quality of
growing with great rapidity, yet fur
nishing hard and durable wood, Is
furnished by letter to the editor Of
the Florida Fruit and Produce News
by E. E. Thompson of Avon Park. Mr..
Thompson says in part: Eucalyptus
trees we're first planted here about
1894, and were injured by the great
freeze, but sprouted and grew like
orange trees. A few eucalyptus trees
planted later have made such wonder
full growth as to cause people to look
up, take notice and rubberneck to see
the lofty tops. The growth in ten
years Is six feet around the body.
1.-THE seasoned wood is hard as hick-
DRY and posts show no decay in the
ground. The limbs. twigs. leaves and
seed cases make the very best fuel.
Our people are convinced Of the great
value of eucalyptus and are planting
them up and down the avenues and in
the cemetery and will soon plant them
in forest FORM"

lyptus show greatest development In

and in swamps, river bottoms. etc..

PROSECUTION BARRED
BY NEW MEDICINAL LAW

Olympia, Oct. 3O.-Prosecution for
practicing medicine in violation of the
old laws is barred by the new medical
license law, according to the decision
rendered by the state supreme court
Friday in the case of the state against
William Hanover. He was tried last
April and convicted of having prac-
ticed medicine at Seattle in October,
1908, without the required license.
The new law pas sed last season re-
pealed the old law, says the court, and
there was no saving clause, so the
conviction of Hanover is set aside
and he is given his liberty.
