There were no railroads below Titus

But Mr.. Henry NJ. Flager was in
the state and had begun his wonder
full work of building up the East

He was building his famous road

He said that he would build it to
Key West. but if he had said he
would build it to Panama it would
have sounded just as probable.

road after it was completed, but

that one could buy a round trip ticket

few hours on the boat all for about

that could go into Key West on the

it for twice the cost.

TACOMA, Sept. 4o.-Despite the
fact that his table of results, made
up on returns from kilograms sent
out to each county in the state, shows
that Ernest Lister now stands third
for the Democratic nominee for gov
ernOr. G. E. Jackson, Listers cam.
paign secretary, declared late tonight
that the TacOman's nomination is
certain, as the counties yet to be
heard from are known to be his
strongholds
He said the returns yet to be re-
ceived will give the Tacoma candi-
date more than enough votes to wipe
out the difference shown on returns
thus far gathered.
I'm counties making partial re-
ports large gains are expected for
Lister in Spokane, Kittitas, Yakima,
ThurstOn, Stevens, Columbia, Cowlitz,
Mason and Jefferson when complete
returns are in.
Todd is expected to make gains
in Lincoln. Douglas, Ferry, Stevens
and Okanogan.
Blacks greatest strength in shown
in the completed returns. He may
get little more from Garfield, Adams
and Lincoln.
I'VE base our claim for large ma
jorities in the Southwest on tele-
grams from those districts which,
however, do not contain details, as
the figures from these counties will
not be available until the official can
vass is completed. However, we are
confident that they will afford Lister
sufficient to overcome the majorities
with which Black and Todd now lead
and give him final majority of at
least SOO."

May DONATE

A. J. Stewart Suggests Pho

Landholders Whom Growth

Favor the Scheme

1t remained for A. J. Stewart to
propose a park plan which, 30 far,
has met with enthusiastic endorse.
ment from those who have talked
with Mr.. Stewart suggests that all
the pioneers of Aberdeen and HO-
quiam join in donation scheme, and
that each piece of property given be
made q park and named after the
donor and connected with a system

his proposition, "and what would be
grander than to have our pioneers
remembered by system Of parks and
boulevards beginning at Hoquiam,
continuing through Aberdeen over
Dabney hill and to South Aberdeen,
all connected by new and handsome
bridges across the Wishkah, Chehalis
and Hoquiam rivers?"
w. J. Patterson, to whom the
scheme was suggested, expressed his
endorsement, and it is understood
will contribute to a fund for the i'm
provement of the parks II he does not
donate a tract. Former Mayor Eu-
gene France, who is in Chicago, has
expressed himself in favor of some
thing of this sort, and 1t is believed
would join in the movement for the
greater park system.
-, viii Donate a Park
1t has always been the plan Of
Mrs. j. B. Stewart to give park to
Aberdeen. but the treatment given
her on several occasions by members
of former councils has caused her to
delay Mrs. Stewart, however, has
overlooked the past and In a state
ment today says she will join the
movement for a free park system and
give a tract to be called Stewart
park.
Judge J. c. Pearson this morning
endorsed the suggestion OF Mr.. Stew
art and said he would give about
two blocks in North Aberdeen on Pi-
oneer boulevard and that 1t could be
connected with Dabney hill With
a block or two which he has suggest
ed be given by the heirs of the late
Alexander Young, Judge Pearson ia
fors calling the portion to be do
mated by him and the Young heirs

viii Give . Block
Mrs. William Irvine joins in the
proposition Of Mr.. Stewart and says:
"In early days, when lots and blocks
were given away by pioneers, it prac-
tically meant nothing. 1t was gen.
erous in way, but not 80 great an
exhibition of generosity as the CIV
ing Of tract today. will give a
block in North Aberdeen on which
there is a fine water power"
1t has also been suggested that the
city council call q special meeting of
pioneers and others who may be in
terested in the proposition and that
the scheme be thoroughly discussed.
In line with the improvement 1t is
urged that II the plan Is started a
