HIS FREE
CIGARS

Since June ~ Constable Fred
Shaw has been paying tribute tt
Police Court Clerk e. J. Hackett
in the shape Of cigars, but here
after it will be necessary fol-
Hackett to buy his own cigars OF
get them from some other source
Constable Shaw got married and
he tried to keep the matter q
secret. Clerk Hackett "got WISE
and bled the constable. Police
Captain Read learned of the mar,
iiage yesterday, also wanted
"backsheesh," and then the story
came out.
Shaw had been keeping com
pany with Miss Bertha Andrus
daughter of Albert Andrus, mana.
ger of the South Prairie mill, four
years. AS the time drew near for
the new marriage license law to
go into effect he began to gel

attic and obtained a license. Two
days later the knot was tied In
Seattle at the residence of Mrs,
Joseph Klotz, former resident OF
Tacoma. Rev. J. Sigursson of the
Lutheran church performed the
ceremony and among those pres

GREAT NORTHERN LOWERS
RATES AND GIVES THEM
CHANCE TO COMPETE WITH
SEATTLE IN NORTH.

Seattle jobbers and wholesalers
WILL not have a monopoly of the
trade north of that city after
August 20. On that date the
Great Northern puts a new com
modify and class freight tariff into
effect that will make the same
rates apply to both cities, although
there is a difference of Al miles
In the haul. The new tariffs are
now in the hands of the printers
and the Tacoma Traffic association
will mail copies to shippers in a
few days.
Tacoma jobbers are we'll
pleased with the announcement
that the Great Northern is to put
new tariff into effect next
Monday. Men who have gone in
to the situation thoroughly see no
reason why Tacoma should not
now get the bulk of the jobbing
trade in the towns north of Ey-
erett.
Our expenses are not so great
as are the expenses of the Seattle
jobbers and manufacturers" said
la prominent jobber.. And, in adj
dition, we manufacture more
goods here than they do in the
Elliott Bay city. 1t is up to us
now that we are to get the rates
to work together and get the bust
ness. A little Tacoma spirit is
what is needed. The opportunity
is here. 81
Ever since the Great Northern
begun running freight trains into
Tacoma, jobbers in this city have
been reaching out for business at
points on the Great Northern coast
line between Everett and British
Columbia and their efforts In this
direction have been gratifying. In
going after this trade the Tacoma
jobbers were handicapped by a
difference of s cents 100 pounds
in favor of Seattle.
Now that this differential ia to
be removed, this city will send
large shipments of Tacoma made
goods to Bellingham. Anacortes.
Everett, Mount Vernon, Blaine
and tine smaller towns along the
coast line.
Other Good Things Coming.
From semi-official advices re-
ceived in Tacoma. there are still
other good things to be expected
from the Great Northern. Within
the next 80 days it is predicted
that freight trains OF that COM
pany will be running through to

MAN LOST FOR 10 DAYS

ACTS LIKE WILD BEAST

Ia hunter, half turning as though
about to flee.
AS Morgan approached him and
laid hand on Gurrad's arm, Cur
rad raised his free fist as though
to strike his captor, and attempted
to escape into the bushes. He
was no match for the logger,
however, and Morgan brought him
to the Grays Harbor company's
logging camp and telephoned to
Ellis Marten of Aberdeen, who has
been heading the search.
Mr.. Marten Immediately
brought the unfortunate man to
the city, taking him to the home
of his sister, Mrs. Korthase of
North Aberdeen. where his mother
overcome with joy, awaited him.
Marten turned over to. Morgan a
check for 800, which has been
the standing reward for Gurrad s
recovery for several days.

RANKS OF THE STRIKERS
ARE SWELLED, AND RE-
BELLION IN EIDE N
REACHES DAN ERO u s
STAGE.
A MONTANA POWER SITE

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 10.-Seri-
GUS rioting is reported from the
country districts today, where the
strikers are trying to get the
farmers to join in the strike.
Troops have been rushed to the
scene, and trouble may be ex-
pected.
A strict news censorship is be-
ing kept by the government re-
garding the strike, and the news
papers are suppressed. From in
formation to be regarded as relia-
BILE, 1t is stated that several have
already been killed. Sympathy
for the strikers is openly express
ed on all sides, and their ranks
are steadily being augmented by
sympathizers.
Strikers are receiving strong
financial support from fellow
workers all over Europe, and ap-
parently there is small chance of
Them being starved into submits
sion.
Owing to the strong increase of
sentiment favorable to the strik-
ers, and the action of King Gus
stave when he attempted to bring
the employers and strikers to an
amicable agreement without sue
cess, much apprehension is being
felt for his safety. Without re-
gard to repeated warnings that his
life may be in danger, he drives
recklessly into the strongholds of
the strikers, in an effort to restore
confidence of the people.
The reports today offset those
of yesterday, which stated that
the strike was nearing an end.

NEWELL |
DEFENDS
HIMSELF
Replies to the Charge of
Ballinger That He Is
Not Competent to
Handle Work of
Reclamation

SPOKANE, Aug. 10.-Explain-
ing his administration of the
United States reclamation service
and virtually defending himself
on the charge made by Secretary
Ballinger, that he is incompetent
to handle the work, r. II. Newell,
director of the reclamation, late
yesterday spoke to the delegates
attending the Irrigation congress.
and they showed their approval by
interrupting him with applause
time and time again.
Newell explained that the rush
of settlers for the irrigated lands
was so great that there were many
more applicants for land than
there was land available. The
government is not slow, he de-
clared, but the settlers are impa-
tient to get water faster than any
skill can put 1t on the lands. He
outlined the work that has been
done in the last seven years, and
denied that there Is competition
between the government and pri-
vate capital.
mo advance of mankind is
made without protest and sorrow
to someone. The reclamation act
is perfect document, but. like
most acts of congress, is the re-
suit of compromise of many con-
flicting ideas. 1t is purposely
very broad, and leaves as many
details as possible to executive
discretion. Wherever 1t may be
defective. these defects can be
remedied in only one way, namely.
by congress, and not by any Off
cial."
