Come and See

We are not asking YOU to 60 away
out in the woods to buy something
down in a hollow, covered with brush
and stumps, with no view except the
sky above you. Nor do YOU reach the
property by a winding COW path
through a series Of shacks and tumble
down farm buildings No, sir This
property is on the car line, only about
80 minutes ride from the center Of the
city, is all cleared and ready to build
on. 1t lies high with a fine view Of the
Sound, Elliott Bay, the city and the
mountains, and the district around It
is improved with graded streets and
cement walks, and is built up with
good modern homes. You can't match
these lots anywhere at anything near
our prices.

The Warnings on the Pave.

Motorists complain that pedestrians no
longer heed their warning signals. So
numerous have become the automatic
vehicles and so crowded the thorough
fares that it calls for some especially
strange sound to attract attention, and
consequently the manufacturers of
whistles horns, honkers, hooters and
other forms of attention-arresting
contra ptions have been turning out
wonderful assortment of signals,
ranging from the old-fashioned mel
low horn that makes noise like a
grandfather goose to musical instru-
ment. Some of these devices utter fiendish
cachinnations as though the merriest
fends from the neither regions were loose
in the streets uttering cries of JOY at the
gyrations OF lodging humanity. Others
play veritable tunes of music that sug-
sest a military drill. Some are reminders
of the old times of Independence day
when shrieking fireworks played part in
the so-called celebration. So novel, in
deed. are some of these notice arresters
that they fail utterly of their purpose.
which is TO signalize to all in front the
approach of a swiftly moving motor. The

Texas and TEMPERANCE.

The temperance fight in Texas has just

certainty. With the vets winning the
Subernatorial prize and the drys the plat
form, and the legislature dry by two
thirds majority, continuation OF the
contest is inevitable, and the probability
strong for an increase of bitterness.
1t is suggested that if the nominee for
governor repudiates the prohibition plank
of the platform independent ticket
will he put in the field. That of course
would make the campaign one of extraor-
binary energy and excitement, but it

The deepest significance of all this is in
the fact that We are now the skirmish

not see as to national matters two years
hence? What more likely than that an
effort will be made to introduce the is

an expression of some kind from one or
both of the old parties in 1872?
Let us suppose Gov. Harmon reelected
and, as a result, his presidential stock
rising to a high figure. Or let us sup

when he chooses his horn he does SO

emergency to give ample warning OF his

horns, however. utter such strange sounds,
such unmotorlike noises, that they fail
to mean to the people in front what they
are designed to convey. A noise that
suggests hysterical giggle in a high
pitched voice. which is that emitted by
one of the devices now in use, is not cal

the coin experts here in Washington have
been considerably puzzled by a peculiar
appearance presented by some of the
gold coins returned to the Treasury.
Though newly minted. they have been
scratched and battered far more than
coins many years older. So suspicious,
indeed, has been this token of misuse
that an investigation has been conducted.
with the result of the discovery that by
persons unknown large number of fresh
ly minted gold coins are subjected to an
effective process of thicvery. which is
similar to the old-style sweating or
clipping. The coins, ii appears. are put
into burlap bag, In which they are vio-
lenty shaken for some time. BY this
means small particles are knocked off
the edges and surfaces, without materi-
ally altering the appearance of the
money. The bag is then burned, and tie
fine bits of gold are recovered in the
form of melted Jumps. which are sold
to the refiners AMI jewelry manufactur-
erS.
