 Members of Commission.
 Senator w. l.. Higgins of South Coventry, Clerk of the Superior Court Lyman T. Tingler of Rockville and pr. Max Mailhouse of New Haven is the commission that has been very pains taking in it's thorough search for an available site upon which to locate the colony. They also consulted with many prominent men in the state who have been vitally interested in the movement to establish the colony for years. All who have been privileged to see the latest acquisition of the state, the Rock Spring farm, say that it is just right-an ideal place and perfect ly situated. for the purpose for which II is to be tHilized.
 Some to concur with the commission in their judgment of the desirability of the place are the president of the State Medical society and the original committee from this society that was appointed to investigate the number, condition and the best place to treat this particularly unfortunate class of people in our state. Quite a number of prominent physicians from different sections of the state who have seen the place persona1ly say that it could not be improved upon, and one physician said it is far enough away from the larger centers so that the idle and see how the patients act and are treat ed.
 $25,000 Appropriation.
 The appropriation of s25Oo0 was set aside for the purchase of a suitable place, and it is understood that the commission obtained the site at a con- siderable discount from that sum. but they do not wish to say exactly what the figures were until they had official ly notified Governor Weeks
 Included in the deeds are all the growing crops on the beautiful farm, as well as all the land and buildings It is said that just as soon as an organ ization can be satisfactorily perfect ed that possession can be taken and the patients moved right in and and com mence to receive eatment just as soon as necessary furnishings can be pro- yided.
 According to the act tablishing the colony it will not be necessary for the governor to appoint a board of trustees as one member from each county in the state will have a voice in it's manage ment. and this board will make it's own bylaws and rules of governmen and appoint it's own superintendent and other officials.
 Purchase Completed.
 The commission hopes to see the colony in actual use in a short time Two members of the commission wers in Willimantic Tuesday and complet- ed the details incident to the transfer of the property to the state and paid over the money for the property.
 Another feature about the place that will be of inestimable value is the fact that the line of the Rockville Willi- mantle Lighting company runs within a mile of the farm and can be easily tapped at any time that is desired to furnish light and power also if neces- sary at the newly acquired property of the state.

 The city picked up very fine bar gain when the deal whereby that 26 acres of land to be used for filler beds was closed It was a wise buy and the city thereby comes into possess ion of tract of land at an extremely low price. which is ideal for the pur- pose for which it is to be used. The area of the tract is sufficient to take care of all the sewage that may be directed there for years.

WOODSAND ROYS
S0UABBLE0vER
The BRIDGE

Now Woods and Roys are at
loggerheads.
The Strauss bridge man got
hold of Roys this morning and put
IA flea in his ear on the bridge
faction 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 trout
grabs a fly. He read it 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, Harrington, 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 l am no
expert either. but have observed
some things and had some ex-
perience, said Woods.
"Well, l am going to express
my opinion whether l know any
thing about them or not, and l
Jam"
Eyes, and am going to call you
down, too," howled Woods.
Then Roys got up and paced
the floor and demanded Harring-
ton. Harrington came in and ex-
planned that the reason Waddell
suggested bascule for the city
waterway was that at the time he
WAS here the city was talking
Iabout only 170-foot bridge and
wanted 1t so high it would run the
pliers up 100 feet. Now the city
wants a 200-foot bridge and has
lowered the height so the piers
Jean be cut nearly in half.
Roys was worked up, however,
land he told Harrington he had no
Iconfidence in him.
Then the mayor went to dis
lcussing the plans for the comfort
lstation at Seventeenth and Pacific
lavenue and the bridge question
Twas dropped.

FREE SPEECH
MEETIN

A meeting of particular interest
for those who believe in the free
dom of speech will be held at
|1137 l-2 Commerce street tomor-
row evening at o'clock.
The meeting has been called in
connection with the case of Fred
IB. Warren, editor of the Appeal

hard labor in addition to a fine of
$3.50 and court costs.

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 drastic
effort Is to be made to curtaid free
dom of speech and of the press
and tomorrow evenings gathering
will take the nature of an indig-
nation meeting.

of the firemen and the hopes of
proprietors and employees went up
in smoke.
"It came at the worst time in
the world" said Manager j. B..
Burke this morning. "Just before
Christmas. We are stunned and
UP in the air. We cannot give
any rational estimate of the loss
but it seems to be total, with In
surance that Is almost nothing
compared to the loss. Had it
come a week later 1t would have
been very different story"
No Plans for Future.
Neither Thomas nor James Nc
Cormack would say anything this
morning. They were unable to
tell what of the future. Mr..
Burke said they could not tell yet
what would be the future course.
The store is gone, the building
a wreck, the great Christmas
trade which merchants rely ON for
their best reports has been choked
off Just as it was starting with a
rush and the city has lost in few
hours one of its best establish
ments.
The blaze started about II
O'Clock. At 1 the roof fell in and
the destruction was complete. The
firemen did good service and kept
the fire from spreading but moth
ing could save the store.
Loss at Least 100000.
The building was owned by
George l.. Dickson and John S.
Baker. The loss on this will not
be so much as 1t 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
terday of which there is no ac-
count.
The fire department was out at
the time putting out little blaze
at 953 South e. 1t rushed to the
big blaze but 1T was too late.
ALI street car traffic was tied up
by the fire until this morning and
many persons were caught down
town and unable to get home.

A Readable Story of What
a "Junket" Means

| Junket.
Our grandmothers will declare
that junket is a dessert made by
mixing the lining of a calfs 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 VI
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 company
of IA to the new city power plant
just to let 1t be seen that this
great enterprise is going to go
Through and that it is going to &c
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-
lsiastie over the prospect.

way those boys are burrowing in

where it is going to tumble over
a precipice AIS feet high and gen.

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 .Nisqually 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.
Even Superintendent D. A. Will
fans 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 1t
Hike 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 5000
feet counting both ends, and 1t
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

REFERENDUM
PETITION
FILED
When Will Treating Law
Be Decided2

Petitions with 3,512 names CALI
ing for the repeal of the anti
treating ordinance or submission
to the people were filed with the
city clerk last evening.
They will be reviewed by the
clerk and the signatures verified.
On the fixing of the date Is
expected to come the hitch in the
council.
The saloonkeepers say they
could not get lawson to agree to
repeal the ordinance, but that he
has agreed with them not to vote
to submit 1t at a special election.
AS there will be no general cleo
ton for 16 months this would be
practically repeating the ordi-
nance as 1t would hold UP its op-
Grafton for year and a quarter.
But they may slip a cog on this.
The charter in providing for
referendum on ordinances holds in
section 266 of artivle xviii that
unless the ordinance is repealed
when petitioned for by the requi-
site number that it shall be sub
mitted to the people the same as
called for In article xvii.
Article xvii declares that the
council shall CALL a special election
unless general election Is to be
held within 80 days. AS no gen.
eral election will be held within
90 days special election would
apparently have to be called.
II such an election is called II
will shut out all further special
elections as referendum on or
dinances of the council for a year
thereafter.

COUNTY MAY
ENJOIN T.R. 8P

The county commissioners have
instructed Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney Oakley to draw up an in
junction against the t. r. & p.
Co. that shall forbid the company
from operating over the county
roads where II has no franchise.
The injunction will lbe presented
to the court for signing next
week. Should the county be grant
ed the injunction, the T. r. G. p.
people would have to pay up its
taxes before it can obtain a
franchise or the cars will not be
able to be operated across the
county roads, and that means prac-
tieally not at all.
