CAN'T COMPEL
CITY TO. BUY
THE HEBB SITE

Judge Main this morning signed
the order formally dis<nissipg the
suit OF w. o. Carlton against May
or Cotterill and the city council to
compel them to purchase the iiebb
power site for 100000. Vivian
Cnrkeek, attorney for Carlton,
stated that no appeal would be
taken. Judge Mains decision was
that there was no meeting OF
minds between the council, the
Hebb people and the voters, SO
that the purchase Of the site was
not compulsory on the part OF the
city.

you work seriously for something
else and get a laugh. that's misery.
When I was a child my highest
ambition was TO be either a mother
superior In a convent or the head
of the Salvation Army. ! decided
against the mother superior busi-
ness because II was not exciting
enough: and after practlcing with
one Of my mothers tin plates FOR
weeks | decided II could carry =
tambourlnc that well of stage I
could 60 on and be paid for Il.
The stage r. the only place. any
how. where n woman has all the
best OF II.
n refuse 20 hid myself ! shall
rock along IN fine comfort. Some.
times | shall be seraphicaiiy happy
and sometimes shall wish ! was a
human being instead OF an actresa.
On the whole | viii be fairly sue
cessfui, but that sense OF hnmor
will stay with me always and pull
me back in time 10 keep me from
being either fool or a martyr.

For the downtown landlords
you remember that. there are
only a few Of them--boost the
rents. the merchants are COM
peiied to boost their prlcess and
the increase is passed on to
you--and you--snd you.
The figures given in the letter are
true. There are more inches OF
land on the four big shopping
streets. between fesler way and
Pike. than there are men. women
and children In Seattle. And the
average value h s333.33 per inch.
In spots the land is worth more
than $4,000 front foot On Second
ay. a fair valuation Is $1,000. Old
Cyrus Nrslker got much Of his land
for nothing. or next TO nothing,
years ago. He acquired land at the
corner OF Second and Madison, on
which a one-story building now

II Is the most valuable corner In
Seattle. One months rent would
buy the building on II twice.
He and the other landlords sat
tight and got rich swiftly and sure
ly by the growth Of the city. They
couldn't help getting rich. Their
only occupation was boosting rents.
Every man who came 20 the north
west increased the value OF the
downtown land. Every child born
Of woman made Il worth more.
They sat in idleness aad watched
their land increase In value from
nothing an acre 10 s333.33 an inch.
The value OF the downtown land

OF s42. 100000. was made by the
people who didn't own II. but
nevertheless. paid rent for II, by
indirection. over and oeer again.
