PUYALLUP WATER SUPPLY
City Council Considers Purchase of
Maplcwood Springs

PUYALLUP. Aug. 19.--Offered as a
solution to the problem facing this
city regarding the purchase of Maple
wood springs and the 100 acres of ad-
jaccnt land for the water supply. it
was advocated that Tacoma and Puy-
allup work together in making one of
the most beautiful parks in the North
west ont of the tract.
The city commission of Tacoma has
agreed to sell the springs and the land
to Puyallup for $4,000, but the coun-
ell members say they feel the re-
straining hand of public sentiment
too strongly to call an election to vote
bonds for this project at that price.
The idea was offered by Mayor Graves
as medium whereby Puyallup could
get the springs and Tacoma another

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-On the

hame White. the English aviator who
won the International trophy here last
year at Belmont park, intended to
marry Marie Campbell, the pretty
daughter of Mrs. William Converse of
this city. some surprise was occas-
toned by the announcement of the en-
gagement of Eleanor Seers to young
Harold Vanderbilt. At the time of
the Belmont meet Grahame White
was much devoted to Miss Seers. who
accompanied him in several of his
cross country flights and appeared to
reciprocate the interest he made no
effort to conceal he felt in her.
A report was circulated at the
time that they were engaged, but this
was later denied. Subsequently ii
was stated that the aviator, who was
very popular here, planned to marry
Pauline Chase, the "Pink Pajama
Grip of the Liberty Bells musical
comedy company. Some strength was
given to this by the fact that they
sailed away for England together al
the close of the meet. Nothing has
been heard of the matrimonial aspi-
rationS of the aviator since then un-

Much interest has been excited here
by the story of Henry Kurt Steinruck.
a handsome German actor. who says
he is in receipt of $4,000 year from
some mysterious source in Europe.
Steinruck is the son of a well to do
merchant in Dresden and was BAN
ished from Germany several years ago
because of the interest taken in him
by the Crown Princess Louise of Sax
ony. former wife of the present king
Frederick Augustus. He affects to
be much worried over the report that
the memoirs of the former crown
princess to be published shortly in
London contain some reference to his
esca pades with her. These caused his
incarceration in lunatic asylum
and subsequently led to his enforced
deportation to a retreat in the noun
ta1ns. The actor is now happily mar
