TRIP on GREAT LAKES
Rector OF St. Anne's In Great Cana.
dian North -West-GloriOus
Sun And Cool Air

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph +. McComas
have been taking a trip on the Great
Lakes and on the 10th of August were
at Port Arthur, Canada. He writes
very entertainingly to a friend here of
that prosperous little city and We are
permitted to give our readers an in
teresting extract from his letter He
says in part:
Very much to our surprise we are
way up (and il seems way up0 here
in the beginning of the great Canadian
Northwest. Port Arthur and Fort
William twin cities) are, locally call
ed the Young Twin Giants They
are well so-called, for enterprise and
enthusiastic development characterize
them, while nothing seems impossible.
Each is the Lake Superior terminus
of great trans continental railway;
the Canadian Northern, here, and the
Canadian Pacific at Fort William.
They are less than five miles apart
and are connected by these two rail
ways, an interurban electric road and
a magnificent speedway. The cities
are severed, paved with brick, as
phalt and macadam) and concrete
sidewalks, beautifully lighted and we'll
laid out.
This hotel prince Arthur HoteD
is small, but worthy of being in New
York or London and the shops provide
every luxury. There are six churches
(Church of England) in the two cities
and the site for Cathedral in Port
Arthur. The finest of the churches
is St. Paul's, Fort William, with a
fine chime of bells and beautiful or
gan and choir. This all seems strange,
for Algoma (the district of Algoma
in Western Ontario) is vast wilder
ness, north of Lake Superior, stretch
ing into the Hudson's Bay territory
almost totally 'untamed.' This sug-
gests the Hudson's Bay Company.
Fort William owes its existence
to them. Their stores, there are mod
ern department stores, now, but car
ried on in the same official way; The
Governor and Company of Adventures
Trading into Hudson's Bay Like
most conservative benefactors, the
company is either enthusiastically
praised or unreservedly condemned.
"The weather has been cold and
clear; today is warm, especially in
the city; but out upon Lake Superior
it was much like early November.
The meadows, between these two
cities, are glorious with spring and
autumn, flowers, buttercups and gold
enrod and asters; lovely white and
purple Canadian thistles; fragrant
everlasting and white clover. Over
all a glorious sun and cool air.

Take Up Residence Here

Mr.. Croucher, assistant manager of
the Colonial Theatre, now under lease
to Manager Charles w. Boyer and
Mrs. Croucher, have taken up their
permanent residence here and have
rented apartments at 199 Main street,
where they are located after today.
Mr.. Croucher has already made a
favorable impression with the Anna
polls people by his courteous manner
and business-like methods. 1t was at
first thought Mr.. Croucher would be
returned to the theatre at Martins
burg, where he was very popular, and
request for his return had been made,
but it was finally decided to retain
him at the Colonial Theatre, where
Mr.. Croucher's work so far has been
very successful.

Spa Creek Bridge Not A Race Track

A warrant was issued this morning
for the arrest of Tom Crosby, colored,
charged with fast driving on Spa
Greek bridge. Officer Samuel Jones,
of Eastport, says the bridge is not a
racetrack, and the County Commits
sioners want this distinctly under
stood.
Certain parties are in the habit of
racing over the bridge at any and all
times in all sorts of vehicles. Last
night Crosby, it is said. nearly ran
over Mr.. Charles Friemel and friend
who were crossing the bridge when
Crosby made his wild dash over. Mr..
Friemel made narrow escape, and
when he reprimanded the driver, the
latter is said to have shown fight.

Water erFan1ine!

1t is with regret that this Company
is again called upon to warn its pa
irons in the careful use of water. Our
storage supply is completely exhaust
ed, so that we are pumping into our
reservoirs alone the daily supply run
ming from our streams, which is di-
minishing day by day. Many rains
fallen in Annapolis have passed by our
wter sheds entirely. A personal in
spection of our plant reveals the fact
that our supply TODAY is lower than
at any time during the drouth of last
year.
1t is ABSOLUTELY I'M PERAIVE
that all street and lawn sprinkling be
discontinued. While the public has
cordially co-operated with the Com
pany towards this end, it is a regret
able fact that some persons still con-
tinue to sprinkle their lawns gardens
and streets, utterly unmindful of the
injury they are working the com
munity.
No charge will be made for street
or lawn service from July /, 1911, un-
til further notice.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE
that this appeal be STRICTLY and
HONESTLY OBSERVED.

Torgy'II Get
His 'PhOne

The city commission and county
commissioners tried to settle the
matter of the franchise for the
pole line along the county road
this morning and this much Is
settled-Torgy Peterson gets his
telephone line to his home.
The city agreed to string the
wires and pay for them and the
farmers or somebody else will
have to set the poles, according
to the city contention but Peter
son is still holding out for the city
to set the poles.
Martin wanted one-fourth rate
for current to the county but the
city would not stand for that but
offered half price. Martin also
wanted the canyon road lit up for
four miles.
Lawson agreed to light 1t at
half price.
The whole proposition will be
settled next Thursday and the
city will get the franchise.

PETIT LIKED BY MANY
TN fight AGAINST ROYS
Well Known Tacoman Isl
Contestant for Public|
Safety Commissioner.

One Of the candidates for the
position of L. w. Roys who seems
to be 1eaping into the limelight
of popular favor is F. H. Petit,
628 South Fife street.
Mr.. Petit is big, wholesoul-
ed, open-faced citizen, showing
underneath a pleasant counter
ance,. lot of good hard practical
common sense and a business
sagacity that. makes him friends
everywhere. He is A years old.
Mr.. Petit came to Tacoma in
1898 from Valparaiso, Indiana,
opened up shop and went to
work at his trade as a horse
shoer. He hammered away until
five years ago and. was a good
horseshoer. Then he went into
the West Coast Wagon company
and became vice president, which
place he held for three years. He
resigned and retired from this
position to become Northwestern
representative of the Standard
Horse Nall company of Brighton,
Pa, which place he still occupies.
Pettit's long service with the
leather apron put him in touch
with every man whose hands are
hard and who earns his bread by
the sweat of his face and his bust
ness associations in the last few

Chief interest In the election oI
commissioners next Tuesday will
probably center about the public
safety commissioner, l.. w. Roys.
Mr.. Roys' words, which are
published above. are quoted from
an interview in which citizens of
Tacoma protested because of the
restricted district. A public meet
ing held shortly after the inter-
view took place developed the fact
that much indignation existed be-
cause of Mr.. Roys' answer.
Mr.. Roys took the position OF
public safety commissioner eyi-
IDENTIFY with the idea that he would
allow the vice places to flourish.
Public pressure finally resulted in
closing of the Sandberg dives. The
election Tuesday will demonstrate
whether or not a majority of the
people believe that Mr.. Roys' idea
Is the most popular one and best
for the community.
The evil Is as old as the hills
and much has been said pro and
con. Encouragement of sucn
places Is against the law, but
some people declare that 1t were
better to let them run rather than
have vice scattered over the town.
The scattered over the town
talk might have had a leg to
stand on had such not been the
case. 1t was we'll known that un-
derworld denizens held forth In
many places other than the So
called restricted district.
In the Sandberg dives hundreds
OF women were gathered. Judg-
ing from complaints, young boys
visited these places as openly as
did men. The nuisance became so

Autoists to Help

Mayor Seymour this morning
brought up the old question of a
road to South Tacoma. He
thought 1t ought to go. The coun-
ty commissioners thought it ought
to be fixed too but the hitch
comes in getting the money.
Secretary Prince of the Auto
mobile club was present and the
mayor asked him to call a meet
ing of the club and get the auto
owners interested. A mass meet
ing will be called and by popular
subscription and donations from
the county and city and with a
part of the cost put on the prop
erty through an improvement dis
trict the commissioners concluded
the big proposition might be put
through.

activity today and the actual work
of framing his case is well under
way. The McNamaras will be
tried for murder. This was de-
cided after a lengthy perusal OF
the law and such facts in the case
as are now at hand.
According to advices received
by Chief Sebastian, the party left
Triniday, Col, early today and is
now rushing across New Mexico.
1t should reach Flagstaff, Ariz.
about sunset tonight. If the
train is on time the prisoners will
be on California soil shortly after
midnight tonight.
Beyond vague plan to meet
the train somewhere outside the
city and bring the prisoners into
Los Angeles in an automobile ar
rangements for the arrival of the
party are still incomplete.
