The Bellevue Ferry.

Seattle, FeD. ., lSl2.
The Ranch,
Kent, Wash.
Dear Sirs:-In an endeavor to knock
the Bellevue ferry over the shoulder
of the Kirkland ferry. the selfish
private interests who will be disturb
ed in their monopoly by the establish
ment of the Bellevue ferry are flood
ing King county with misstatements
about the Kirkland ferry May be
you have seen one of their circulars,
which are unsigned. They don't dare
put their names to those misstate-
ments. You know just how much
cowardIy. anonymous communication
is worth.
Here are some real facts about the
existing and proposed ferries on the
lake. You notice we are not afraid to
put our name to this.
Here are some official figures show
ing you just how the kirkland ferry
is building up the country across the
lake:
Receipts for the past four years:
1908. 4, 8S8. 90
l9O9. ............ Sll, 6l2. w
1910. Observation-Disclosures. .$15, BIG. 90
1911. $24, GAL. 90
(1OH months in 1917
The business of the kirkland ferry
is doubling every two years. Soon it
will not only be self sustaining, but
be big money maker for King county,
in spite Of the low rates which the
private monopoly recently went into
court to try to have raised so that
their old graft might be restored.
The Bellevue ferry will do as much
for the south half of the lake as the
Kirkland ferry has done for the north
half. 1t you will vote the $3.50, 900
bonds at the March 9Th election for
the construction and initial operation
of this ferry, it will enable stretch
of 30, 900 acres of rich dairy and farm
land to build up; will bring in 10, 900
new families and will add millions to
the taxable wealth Of King county.
Further, it will give east of Lake
Washington farmers relief from the
grinding private monopoly which is
now fighting the ferry through these
anonymous circulars, and which is SO
eXorbitant in it's rates that it costs
more to ship ton of produce from
Bellevue direct to Seattle than it does
from San Francisco to Seattle, two
hundred times as far.
Remember, this Bellevue ferry has
been heartily endorsed and urged by
such dislnterested and conservative
bodies as the Port Commission, the
Chamber of Commerce, Seattle Com
merc1al Club, the editorial page of
the Post lntelligencer. the Pomona
Grange of King county farmers and
numerous improvement clubs.
Vote for the ferry bonds on March
5th. They mean more to King county
than any other one issue that will be
put before you at this time.
Yours very truly,
BELLEVUE FERRY COMMITTEE,
By G. r. Campbell.

ter three o'clock in the afternoon when

noon that il is probable that the Yer

Vermont and northern New York be-
long. Brattleboro will also come in

Tubercle saeIIll in Butter

To the Editor of the Free Press:
1t has been called to our attention
that possibly some misapprehension
exists in reference to the report of
examination of butter for tubercle
bacilli made at the state laboratory
OF hygiene and which appeared in
your columns on January 10, 1912.
In making this report the actual
condition found on autopsy OF these
animals was reported as accurately
as possible. These autopsies show
ed positive evidence of tubercular in
lection in three instances, and the
presence of enlarged glands in five,
with absolutely negative results in
case of the other two animals. The
presence of enlarged glands in the
five animals is not positive proof OF
the presence of tubercular infection
in the animal as such LESSONS may be
due to the presence of other and less
important bacteria. II would not
have been accurate, however, to have
reported results in these cases as
negative.
There was no intention in making
this report of casting any further sus-
! pioion on any sample of butter exam
ined than that which the actual find
ings warranted.
1t has been suggested that the aver
age reader might take the findings in
these five cases as being positive
proof of tubercular infection and that
this Impression II such exists, may
be corrected. We publish this com
munication.
