incidentally while we are ON the sub
Ject OF commercial clubs it might be
well to mention several things of i'm
port this club has carried through
recently. One was securing a reduc-
tlon on stock shipments from Grange
vile which has been $25 a car higher
than Sites to $15 car. What this
means to shippers from this vicinity
can easily be figured out. Also a re-
ductlon was secured on carload rates
and small reduction on local shin
ments.

The engineering work on the Idaho
side will be entirely completed within
the next three months and recent
announcement in Seattle stated the
construction of the line would require
about eighteen months. The work at

the work will be well started before

necessity for material yards and extra

would also be essential in handling
the heavy traffic occasioned by the
construction work and the regular
tonnage to be diverted through the

Chairman Noyes' Tribute
to "the Master Builder

Theodore w. Noyes, chairman of the
Shepherd memorial committee and the
presiding officer, made the Introductory
address. pointing to Alexander Robey
Shepherd as the master builder of WASH
ington and calling for a new Shepherd
campaign for civic development. His sub
ject was Shepherd and the Ne Wash
ington.' as follows:
Only an associate of Sh II, who
stood by his side in his years o. fierce
struggle can picture the man whom we
honor today with those personal. intimate
characteristic touches which make the
perfect portrait.
Many men of the New Washington, for
whom I speak. may never have seen
Shepherd-not even in the home comings
Of 1887 and 1895. when apparently all
Washington turned out to greet him.
Our impression Of his great personality
may spring from perusal of the pages Of
municipal history. or from the fireside
tales concerning him told by our fathers
or others of the local patriarchs. For ex-
ample my own conception Of his char
acter, his controlling motive. his true
greatness, is derived largely Ghough not
entirely from my father. who knew his
inmost thoughts and plans, and who as
hrm friend and d loyal WashinStonian
fought for him, and with him for WASH
ington.
We of the younger generation can there
fore portray Shepherd only in the broad
est outlines, appreciating and emphasiz-
Ing those traits in his makeup which
stand out strikingly conspicuous. and
which impress themselves indelibly upon
the observer.
Shepherd as determined force persona
fed and Shepherd as in devoted loyalty
the great and typical Washingtonian
will live forever. humanity speaking. in
the minds of the men of Washington; as
his physical aspect Will be perpetuated
by this monument of bronze and granite.
The rugged lines of face and head and
figure faithfully portrayed in this statue
suggest (what his whole life cOnfrms)
and energy, OF elemental dominating
force. In his name the characteristic en-
phasls is upon Alexander, the conqueror.
and not upon the Shepherd. He was no
poet. reclining in the shade Of the wide
spreading beech. and feeding milk 10
