Power Company
Keeps Promise

The Seattle-Tacoma Power COM
pany today handed into the city
two checks for $4,977 and $2,127
respectively and kept faith with
the city with $2,127 surprise.
Two years ago in April when
the city was considering the mu-
nicipal power plant project the
company was offering suggestions
and inducements looking to con-
tinuation of its present business
with the city.
The city had complained that DIT
charged too much for electric
juice and Manager Ramsdell re-
sponded that If the city would get
down to business and increase the
load factor of it's electric business
that the company would make a
better price.
The city officials thought 1t a
bluff but went to work all the
same to increase the load factor.
City Electrician Lauzon had it
brought up to the mark necessary
when he went out and this last
year the books show the load fac
tor for the year ran over the 25
per cent.
The company kept its agree
ment and today Nick Lawson was
handed a check for Sz,127. being
the amount of the rebate.

PETE SANOBERG
WAS "STUNG"

Suit started by Pete Sandberg
In superior court yesterday for an
injunction to restrain Carl Met
tier from disposing of the property
recently turned over to him by
Simon Mettler, ex-county commits
sioner, indicates that Sandberg in
his alliance with Mettler at the
court house got badly stung.
Sandberg stood in with Me and
Mettler" politically. and helped to
boost them into office.
The alliance was used apparent
ly by MettleF, however, to get
backing financially, and Sandberg
in his petition in court declares he
is on Mettler's paper for $4,000.
He says Mettler agreed with him
to convey to him certain parcels of
real estate in Tacoma, which he
later turned over to Carl Mettler,
but that he failed to carry out his
verbal promise.
Carl Mettler in the injunction
issued by Judge yesterday is sum-
moned to appear in court March
10 and show cause why Sandberg
should not get judgment and why
he should be allowed to retain the
property turned over by Mettler.
Mettler, it is stated now, has
gone to Alaska with George Yer
COVE to try to make a stake there.
In the meantime his creditors
will fight it out in the courts to
see who gets what he had when
he went under financially through
the operation of the Wells Con-
struction company.

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 21.-Car.
loads of women are dragged along
with Diaz's federal troops where
ever they go-the wives and fam
lilies, formal or informal, of the
Mexican officers and soldiers.
| found these women, the camp
followers of Navarro's army, hud-
died in steel box cars in the Juarez
railroad yards, the most interest
ing and pitiful sight of all strange
things l have seen in this land of
instruction.
A good friend from Ell Paso had
introduced me to a Mexican cap
tain. After the embraces which
are considered absolutely neces-
sary by men of the captains caste,
we began our night tour of the
railroad yards. AS we came to
each car all the women rose to
their tired feet, bowed and saluted
Eli Captain" effusively. Many
gave evidences of some education.
They ranged in years from the
beautiful senorita of seventeen to
the aged sonora of seventy. What
ever they may think of the war,
away down inside their hearts,
they all pretend to be enthusiasts
tically for the government.
Crowded in among them, here
