WOODSAND ROYS
S0UABbLE
The BRIDGE

Now Woods and Roys are at
loggerheads.
The Strauss bridge man got
hold of Roys this morning and put
"a flea in his ear on the bridge
action of the council the other
day. The Strauss man gave Roys
an Oregon paper containing a
knock on the vertical lift bridge.
Roys grabbed it like a trout
grabs a fly. He read 1t at the
commission meeting this morning,
"Well, what do you know about
bridges, anyway" snapped Woods.
"Well, l know that Waddell
when here recommended a bascule
for the city waterway and now
his partner, Harring ton, comes
here and recommends a vertical
lift" said Roys.
"Well, you don't know anything
about bridges. / know more about
bridges nor you do, and / am no
expert either, but / have observed
some things and had some ex-
perience, said Woods.
"Well, am going to express
my opinion whether l know any
thing about them or not, and l
Am"
Eyes, and am going to call you
down, too" howled Woods.
TIL en- Roys got up and paced
the floor and demanded Harring-
ton. Harrington came in and ex-
planned that the reason Waddell
Suggested a bascule for the city
waterway was that at the time he
was here the city was talking
about only a 170-foot bridge and
wanted 1t so high it would run the
piers up 100 feet. Now the city
wants a 2O0-foot bridge and has
lowered the height SO the piers
can be cut nearly in half.
Roys was worked up, however,
and he told Harrington he had no
confidence in him.
Then the mayor went to dis
cussing the plans for the comfort
station at Seventeenth and Pacific
avenue and the bridge question
was dropped.

FREE SPEECH
Meeting

A meeting of particular interest
for those who believe in the free
dom of speech will be held at
1877 1-2 Commerce street tomor-
row evening at s O'Clock.
The meeting has been called in
connection with the case of Fred
b. Warren, editor of the Appeal
to Reason, who has been sem
fenced to six months in Jail at
hard labor in addition to fine of
$500 and court costs.
Among the speakers will be
Judge Windsor of Seattle and e.
j. Brown of Seattle and Peder
Jensen.
Warren's sentence was the re-
suit OF his Offering a reward of
$1,000. for the return of ex-Gov-
ernor Taylor of Kentucky.
1t appears as though a drastic
effort is to be made to curtain free
dom of speech and of the press
and tomorrow evenings gathering
will take the nature of an indig-
nation meeting.

A Readable Story of What
a "Junket" Means

Junket.
Our grandmothers will declare
that junket is a dessert made by
mixing the lining of calf's stom.
ach with sweet milk until the mass
is coagulated into a delicious Gus
tard.
But that is not the kind the
city commission had yesterday UP
the Nisqually. An official junket
is a lark somebody else pays for.
In this case Messrs. Savage
Cornell and Bonnell were the
hosts and they piloted a company
of a to the new city power plant
just to let it be seen that this
great enterprise is going to go
through and that it is going to go
through right.
Freeland, Lawson and Woods
of the commission went up. Roys
does not go to investigate any
thing of this kind, and Fawcett
stayed at home to watch Roys.
The commissioners that went
are satisfied, and, in fact, enthu-
siastie over the prospect.
AS matter of fact the situa-
ton Is inspiring. 1t is worth a
trip up to the canyon to see the
way those boys are burrowing in

crate electric juice to light Taco
ma and run the wheels of indus
try here.
One thing that is indicated on
this junket is that some mighty
important factors in this power
plant case have been overlooked.
1t is generally supposed that Geo.
Milton Sagave. Ernest and Dan
Cornell, J. E. Bonnell and their
associates in the .NisqualIy con-
tracing company are building the
tunnel for the power plant.
But they're not.
There are eight fellows whose
names will never be known in the
case who are digging that tunnel.
E0lBSl II. "a w III
Jams does not know who they are.
The Real Workers.
But the way. those boys get
down with their heads up against
that basalt rock and go into It
like a mole shows that the tunnel
will go through and that some day
the people of Tacoma will have a
vote of thanks to offer to these
eight dirty, mud soaked fellows.
Down 800 feet under the noun
tain they are tearing through solid
rock and breaking worlds records
for speed. The junketing party
looked on amazed at the way the
big air drills drove their way in.
The tunnel is over 10 feet square.
1t has been put in about 1900
feet counting both ends, and tt
has all been done by eight men.
They are not the same eight. 1t
is not an easy job hanging onto
the rear end of an air drill and

The building was owned by
George l.. Dickson and John 5.
Baker. The loss on this will not
be so much as it was only a one
story affair, but the 125 feet
square was packed solid with first
class stock and the loss on this
will be over $100S00 and may be
more than double that.
Manager Burke says that they
cannot tell the loss at all. A lot
of goods came in by express yes

count.

the time putting out a little blaze

heard the newsboys shouting
about big fire but needed them
not. She was busy with her own

She walked right UP to the
front of the establishment and
then awoke from her reveries with
a shock.
The store was gone.
1t was there last night, gay and
glorious in Christmas decoration.
She faced simply pile of charred
ruins. One big mirror in front
window had escaped. She was
right in front of it. She cast one
glance into 1t and burst into tears.
Out on the corner already on
the scene were Thomas and James

away in smoke of fortune.

Around about the blackened
mass which told the story of one
of the worst fires in the history of
the business section of the city
were 125 more clerks and en-
ployes whose occupation was gone,
whose outlook for a merry Christ
mas was darkened by the charcoal
of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of ruined goods.
How the fire started no one
knows Night Watchman John
Lonachan was sweeping down the
balconies when he was startled by
sheet of flame that seemed to
spring from the ceiling and sweep
over the great store. He ran
and barely escaped through the
front door when the whole store,
packed with Christmas goods and
radiant in decorations of fir
boughs was kissing mass of
flame.
Nothing but a tidal wave could
ever stop a Christmas fire in a
department store. The place was
doomed despite the best efforts
