Real Reason of This
Viaduct Mancuver

Charley Spinning, Carl Stebbins
and the other private dock owners
who tried TO kill off the municipal
dock are still hand ait the game
and they are stirring up certain
people to get out a petition pro-
testing against the carrying for
ward of the deal with the North
: ern Pacific. for the dock water
front.
Spinning and i. L. Hirsh and
others had a conference this
morning ON the matter of launch
ing the petitions. Then the Times
was asked to say nothing about
who Is behind it but to state THAT
the people" are getting up pc
tition.
The petition as MATTER of fact
is the child of the same opposi-
>-tion that fought the dock for
private selfish purposes and which
was so beautifully whipped in the
bond election.
The whole controversy is now
ON that viaduct to the FLYER dock.
The old ordinance provided that
the N. P. must bpp.ld "a viaduct
when the Point Defiance line is
-built. 1t does not say what kind.
Any kind would do. 1t might be
simply a wooden pathway over
the tracks.
History of Viaduct.
When the city began dicker,nig
with the N. p. for the dock site
THE company. lheld that If the pas
senger dock was moved away
from there the Nssduct would not
DE needed and made it a 1aGlt of
THE deal for THE deck site that tI1e
necessity for building it be can
celled unless it is shown to be
needed 1afer.
The council agreed to this. If
the viaduct is not needed it GER
dainly will mot be thing of
beauty and they do not want it.

his conception Of It appeared-as car

Of his imagination; later a Partisan
fashion expert saw the cartoon and
seized upon the idea.
Some months later the hobble skirt
appeared in Paris, and In December,
1909. was actually being worn in Lon
don, and speedily became the rage.
In one or two cases enthusiastic

that they had hobble skirts made for
