Taft today to issue proclamation
virtually warning American citizens to

The decision to issue such a warn

to inform Americans In peril there
to withdraw across the border leav-

BIG IMMIGRATION IS
EXPECTED THIS SPRING
Colonist Fares Will Attract MANY
Homeseekers to the Pacific

SEATTLE. Feb. 27.--The 1912
spring season colonist fares Westbound
will be in effect from March 1 to
April Is, inclusive. One-Way second
class fares will prevail from all points
in the east to the Pacific Northwest
In years past this arrangement has
brought many settlers to the coast.

gates from forty-one cities in this Sec

Give Gill Another Chance
1T looks as if Seattle will give ITS
recalled mayor of year ago Hiram
G. Gill, another chance. He was an
easy leader of the four candidates en-
tered in the race, getting forty per
cent of the entire vote. George f..
Cotterill ran second and will hence
have to fight it out at the election
next Tuesday. The primary elimin-
ated Thomas w. Parish, who resigned
from the state Tax Commission to
make the primary race. The social
list candidate for mayor, while he did
not get enough votes to qualify for
the final ballot, received more than
10. 900 votes But this growing part
will be represented on the final bal
lot by its candidates for corporation
counsel, city treasurer and two coun-
clmen.

rapids, it would be possible TO float
all products Of that rich district to
tidewater and then put them through
the Panama canal, thus giving q cheap
means of transportation to the east.
A part of the money would also go
for power plants, to pump water on
the adjacent lands. The whole project
was approved by the rivers ana har-
