EXAMINE AERO EXHIBIT.
Gen. Wood and Gen. Allen Inspect
Flying Machines.

Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, and
Gen. James Allen, chief signal officer of
the army, visited the national aeroplane
show at the exposition building, North
Capitol and NJ streets yesterday afternoon
and went over the exhibits in detail.
They had come particularly to see the
eight-cylinder Curtiss military machine,
two of which had already been trans
ferred to the army at San Diego, Cal
This machine had not arrived, however,
and they had to content themselves with
watching the workings of the Curtiss four
cylinder machine, which has been bought
by the National Aviation School for
training flights at College Park
Gen. Wood said, after looking over the
show, that IT. was the best single collec-
ton Of aeroplanes he had ever seen, and
added: 1T is a very creditable show, and
Washington is fortunate to have the OPP
portunity to study SO many different
aeroplanes at close range"
Besides the complete machines on ex-
hibiton, there is one in the process of
construction. Piece by piece. the man
carrying air vehicle is being manufac-
Iured and put together in the big hall
by the men who constructed the Rex
Smith biplane, and as the week pro-
crosses the skeleton is taking on more
and more the likeness Of the machine
which it eventually will be when the
exposition closes next Saturday night.

He recited a number Of Mr.. Riley's chill

if the belief in Santa Claus left impress
sions on the adult mind. as indicated in
these poems, the fiction was q classic
that must endure as long as Christianity
and civilization. The sentiments Of Ri

RAPS ALL Who WOULD
ABOLISH SANTA CLAUS
Prof. Pearson Says So-CaIIed
Modernized Parents Have
Cog Loose.

'So-called modernized parents who ad-
vocate the abolition OF the Santa Claus
romance. the dominating feature of their
children's Christmas festivities. have a
cog loose somewhere. It's an abrupt way
of putting it. but such advocacy needs
abruptness. censure or anything else that
will put stop to it, To deprive children
OF Santa Claus would be to rob them Of
all that intensity of joyousness that
makes Christmas what il is and has been
for children and their elders since the
yuletide began.
In these words Paul NJ Pearson, pro-
fessor OF English literature at Swarth-
more College, paid his respects to those
persons who desire Christmas without a
Santa Claus. He made the comment in
lecture on American rumorists last
night before the Friends Club in the
chapel Of the Friends School. Prof. Pear
sons arraignment of the anti-Santa ag-
itation was severe and bitter. He minced
no words, and his audience. If hand

1.-THE SQAW MAN" AT SCENIC
A Western Drama With a Touch of the
Pathetic Presented by Strong Cast

In the long list of plays which life
on the plains has given rise to, most of
which have been trashy, not to say
rotten, THE Squaw Man" stands out
in conspicuous relief as the one and
only strictly western favored play which
possesses any merit.
The Squaw Man is the scion of an
English family who has fled the home
coop for the double purpose of saving
the name Of scoundrelly cousin and
sparing from shame his wife to whom
he is deeply and reverantly attached.
He lands on Montana cattle ranch,
where his life is saved by an Indian
maiden, and through gratitude for her
heroic deed becomes Squaw Man, an
easy thing in the early days when life
on the plains was free and loose. The
scoundrelly cousin dies in England and
his wife, free at last to pursue her nat
ural inclination, comes out to the states
on a visit and meets the Squaw Man,
who, however, is too honorable to listen
to a solicitor, who urges him to desert
the Indian wife and child. He decides
to send his boy to England to be edu-
Gated. 1t is then that the squaw wife,
seeing the sacrifice the white man was
making for her sake, decides on self
efacement, when she takes to the des'
ert and blows out her brains that hel
white lover might be free to follow his
inclination. There is room for fine
lot of acting which is made use of by
very clever company.

DROWNED AT BREMFRTON
Charles Boyle, Victim of Accident, Former
Iy Resided in Leavenworth

Mrs. A. ]. Martin received the sad
intelligence OF the drowning of her
nephew, Charles Boyle, at the Bremen
ton dock, Puget Sound, last Tuesday.
Mr.. Boyle was twenty-five years old and
formerly lived here, where some of the
older residents are still able to recall
him though it has been more than ten
years since he removed from here.
From Turner Walsh, bookkeeper for
the Leavenworth Mercantile company,
who witnessed the drowning, we learn
ed the following facts. Young Boyle,
who was employed about the docks by
some OF the steamboat companies, tried
to get two grips belonging to women
aboard departing boat that had just
lef, the dock. With grip in each
hand he made spring for the deck,
but his head struck an upper rail knock
ing him back and he fell between the
dock and the boat In falling back
ward his head must have struck the
dock, rendering him partially uncon-
scious, otherwise, being an excellent
swimmer, he could have remained on
top of the water. A strong tide was
running at the time and Boyle was
washed out from between the boat and
dock, and though remaining with his
head partly out of water for what Mr..
Walsh says appeared to him ten min
utes, before he finally sunk out of sight,
very little effort was made to save him.
Neither the boat people nor anyone
else seemed to know what to do. Some
one threw life buoy to Boyle but he
made no effort to grasp it, which furth-
indicated that he was stunned in his
fall. Mrs. Martin left for Bremerton
Wednesday afternoon to attend the
funeral of her nephew.
Boyle was a young man of excellent
habits and had a host of friends. In
terment took place on Thursday.

NEW ROAD ACROSS CASCADES
viii Probably Be Built in Near Future
Cost Would Be Small

G. S. Tichenal, of Cashmere, who is
interested in the building of a wagon
road across the Cascade mountains made
trip up to the tunnel last week, walk
ing from there down to Merritt, sizing
up the situation.
Mr.. Tichenal says there would be
about ten miles of road to be built, as
there is already road as far as Merritt,
and it could be done for about SIS, 900.
Auto enthusiasts in King and Sno-
homish counties would like very much
to see a road built over the mountains
and it is said are willing to raise a fund
toward building it. The plans are to
use the old Great Northern roadbed
which in the days gone by was used as
a switchbach. This would lessen the
expense great deal and with a little
improvement an excellent road could
be made.
About four months out of the year
the road would be impossible on ac-
count of snow, but during the balance
OF the time there would be thousands
Of tourists and pleasure seekers visit
this valley. 1t would be possible for
residents of this section to jump into
their autos and make the trip down to
Seattle in less time than the trains.
That the road will be built and not
far in the future is almost certain.
An effort will be made to get the
county commissioners of Chelan, King
and Snohomish counties to take up the
matter and get the exact figures on the
construction of the road. The state
highway commission and automobile
associations will be appealed to, so it is
not unlikely that we shall hear some
startling news on this project soon.
The benefit that this county and
section would derive, through advertis-
ing alone cannot be over estimated and
it is hoped that everyone believing in
good roads will boost the proposition.

THOUSANDS ARE COMING WEST
An Effort Should Be Made to Get Home
seekers to Locate Here

The annual homeseekers rates from
the Eastern states to the Pacific Coast
states will begin September IS and the
railroads are making preparations to
handle large crowds.
These rates are usually made twice
year in the spring and fall and
range from $33 from Chicago to $25
from the Missouri river for one way
trips.
During the colonist movement in the
spring it is estimated that over 100,-
900 people came to the coast and it
is thought that there will be equally as
many. or more, to take advantage Of
the special rates this fall.
1t has been proven that at least half
Of the emigrants that come west locate
in the Pacific Coast states and nearly
half of them become residents of Wash
ington.
There is no other state in the West
that is attracting so much attention in
the East as Washington, especially that
section which is devoted to fruit raising,
and since we are living in fruit sec
ton, something should be done to
induce some of the homeseekers to
locate here. No town or city in East
ern Washington offers the opportunities
and advantages as does Leavenworth
and it is yet in its infancy.

NORTHWEST NEWS LETTER
President Taft to Visit SeattIe--Northwes
Will Be Represented in New York

The climatic advantages OF the
Pacific Northwest in summer are be-
coming known to the people of the
East and Middle West, according to
w. D. Skinner, general freight and
passenger agent of the Oregon-Wash-
ington Railroad & Navigation company,
who has just returned from meeting
of the advertising men of the Hartman
railroads, held in Chicago. A year
ago, the summer resort features of
Puget Sound and the Northwest, said
Mr.. Skinner, were comparatively un-
known to our Eastern men. Through
our efforts on this end of the line, how
ever, thousands of tourists have been
apprised of the facts. Our Eastern
representatives are all working to stim-
ulate tourist travel and next summer
will surely see large movement this
way" A tourist crop will help the
whole Northwest, for many travellers
become investors. Such has been Cal
ifornia's experience.
