MINISTERS ARE
BETWEEN TWO
FIRES NOW

Tacoma preachers of the Min
fsterial alliance are having the
most distressing time of their
Hives this week and resolutions
adopted at their meeting Monday
to be presented to the city council
Tuesday were held up and did
not get before that body.
The ministers in their meeting
by an overwhelming vote took
the unprecedented position of IA
voring license for the saloons of
Tacoma, urging the city council
to raise the fee to $4,000 instead
of $1,000.
The resolutions came in from a
committee composed of Revs.
Stout and Moore. The resolu-
ton to have the council license
saloons in Tacoma for $4,000 was
adopted on motion of Rev. T. w.
Lane.
o. L. Fowler and Joe Vigus
protested vehemently against any
body of ministers anywhere ever
advocating any form of license
for the liquor traffic, but they
were smothered in a chorus of
''ayes" in adopting the resolution
after Rev. Mr.. Stout had de-
clared they wanted to be practi-
cal and make the saloons pay the
cost of the department of safety
which has to care for the saloon
product.
To try to offset the effect of
this sensational endorsement of
the license principle by a body
of ministers, the association later
at the meeting voted for reso-
luton declaring for statewide
prohibition.
This put them in the attitude
of standing for high license in
Tacoma and yet prohibition in
the state.
And the preachers have been
hearing from the action ever
since. The w. C. T. U. members
good church men and citizens
generally opposed to license have
been making it so warm for the
ministers in the last AS hour,
that the resolutions have beer
held up and they did not go t.
the council Tuesday. If thing
continue to be as warm arount
the ministerial telephones as
they have the last two days it il
doubtful If the city council eve
does get the ministerial plea TO
high license.

Springer, and 1t is from his branch
of the family that the Misses
Holmes have descended.
Finally the U. S. government
took hand in the matter and, to
ascertain the rightful owners u
the property, took census of all
the Springers in the United States.
This was followed by an offer on
the part of the government of
$11, 100000 for the land included
in Wilmington, which was refused.
Meanwhile the two manicure
girls were working and gathering
the descendants of the wealthy
Carl Christopher Springer. Now
the girls are going to Stockholm
to make a demand upon the Bank
of Sweden for the money deposited
there by Carl Christopher Springer
in 1853, and which, If they obtain
will be divided among themselves
and their relatives.

grees.
The forest ranger on duty in
the tower is furnished with
pair of field glasses and COM
pass. AS soon as he locates any
smoke on the horizon he at once
gets its direction from the tower
by the use of the compass. Then
he turns to the map and lays out
the line on it. Other rangers in
similar look-outs spot the smoke
and locate it from their positions.
Then all telephone headquarters
where all the lines are drawn on
one map. They converge on the
exact location of the fire. This
enables the chief forester to send
his fire fighters directly to the
scene of the fire.
Fires have been located in
this way at a distance of from
65 to 70 miles.

ME, who are now on their way to
Sweden to claim their share of
nearly $160,000,000.
The story of the good fortune
of the young women dates back to
1853, when Carl Christopher
Springer left large sum deposit
ed in the Bank of Sweden in
Stockholm and came to this coun-
try. He settled in Delaware and
acquired from VIM. Penn land,
which today takes in the entire
city of Wilmington.
Carl Christopher Springer left
a will bequeathing his estate, but
enmity arose between the heirs
and the will was destroyed. One
of these sons was Lawrence
