The Seattle chamber Of commerce is
cooperating with the Tacoma chamber
in calling attention to the United States
military tournament which will be held
in the latter city July 24-30. The
famous Tacoma stadium, just completed
will be the scene Of the tournament, in
which two thousand picked regulars,
the flower OF the army, will compete in
athletic contests, drills, maneuvers and
feats OF skill. The new stadium will
seat 5000 people, and is the largest
gathering place of any sort in the north
west. 1t has been built of concrete
in a natural amphitheatre overlooking
Tacoma harbor. Thousands OF dollars
in prizes will be contested for in the
military tournament, and as the railroads
will offer special rates to Tacoma, many
people from other parts of the state
will probably visit that city and attend
the seven-day meeting.

NEWS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST

At a meeting of prominent business
men last week the Taxpayers League
of Seattle was organized for the pur-
pose OF keeping a check on public ex-
penditures, roofing out extravaganza,
and reducing taxation by every posi-
Bile means. Jacob Furth, president Of
the Seattle Electric Co., and one Of
the leading bankers and financiers in
the northwest, was chosen president Of
the league, and plans were laid for an
active campaign to reduce the cost Of
county and city government. Public
offices will be carefully checked up,
and all public work closely watched.
A similar league was organized year
ago in Thurston county and at the
same time the tax levy was fixed in
1909, this organization secured a re-
duction of several mills from the figure
first recommended by the taxing Off
cials. Similar leagues are in existence
in other parts OF the state. A move is
now under way to organize all of the
smaller leagues, including some which
are to be started in counties now I'M
organized, into a state tax league.
The unprecedented extravaganza of
the legislature of 1909, now being felt
in the increased state taxes, has called
forth a demand for a state tax league to
keep an eye on future legislative ses-
sions, and to prevent if possible repe-
tition of the log-rolling methods that
resulted in the extravaganza of 1909.
Railroad competition is beginning to
have noticeable effect in the western
part OF the state since the Oregon &
Washington began its service between
Seattle and Portland. Rates have not
been cut, but there is keen competi-
ton in the matter of fine equipment,
convenient schedules, etc. In the ex-
cursion business the new road is taking
the lead of the older lines. A mid
summer excursion to the Yellowstone
National Park has just been announced
for early in June that promises to be
the finest special exclusion train ever
run out of Seattle. For years the roads
in the Northwest have done little ex
cursion business, chiefly because they
have needed all OF their rolling stock to
meet current demands of a growing
country, but in the future the excursion
business promises to become more i'm
portant.

Estimates furnished by the deputy
assessor places the acreage of growing
grain in Columbia county at $4,000
acres, representing about half of the
assessed agricultural land. This is
divided into $4,000 acres of barley,
$4,000 acres of wheat, and about 1000
acres of oats. According to his calcu-
lations, there is an additional 5000
acres of wheat, alfalfa and timothy hay
which, with an ordinary yield, will
mean 5000 tons.

THROUGHOUT THE STATE

George Wilson, an old and we'll
known civil engineer of North Yakima,
connected for many years with the geo
detic survey in this state, is lost in the
hills somewhere between Yakima and
Ellensburg, and posses are securing
the hills of that section on a search for
him. He started out on Decoration

feeling exhausted and telling the others

for him next day and continued for a
week without success, when they re-
turned to Yakima and notified the
