Taylor's story is that General
Ulysses S. Grant was to have been
the presidential nominee of the dem

the republican party. 1t was a plan
conceived by southern democrats,
says TAYLOR, in order that they might
be sure that a friend of the south
was in the white house.

Competition between cities is becom-

best advantages for homes and bust

A civic center formed by the group
ing of important public buildings
might be part of the plans. They
would also include typographical sur
vey of the city area and the outlying
lands to determine the best routes of
traffic, the easiest grades for ingress
and egress and the best location for
factories and terminals.
Business is necessary to make the
city grow, and homes are needed to
make 1t attractive. Too many people
have to live too far from their work
and pay a daily tribute to the street
cars for the privilege of toiling. They
do this because sufficient decent and
attractive homes cannot be found near
to business. Clean and pretty side

"U" CELEBRATION is BEGUN
Golden Jubilee at Washington Institu-
ton Is ON Now.

Seattle.-Celebratio of the golden
jubilee of the University of Washing
ton was begun with a rally of college
alumni and reception to the college
women of the state. The university
was founded in 1861, less than 10 years
after the settlement of the City of Sc
attic, and Arthur A. Denny, a highly
educated Tennesseean, who was after
ward Washington's delegate to Con-
gress, was the founder of both city
and university.
Mr.. Denny gave a large part of his
farm to the university, and a portion
of this land, in the center of Seattle,
is covered with History buildings. The
state also made liberal grants of land
When the old wooden university build
ing was demolished last year, it was
estimated that the land sold to raise
money to erect that building was
worth $2,000,000 in 1910. The uni
versity's land holdings are still val
ued at millions of dollars, and the in
stitution is one of the largest, as well
as one of the Oldest and richest in the
