Below is again printed the zone
rates. showing the advantage the
local merchant has over his outside
competitor. An eleven pound pack
age can be mailed to rural deliv-
ery customer for Is cents. 1t would
cost a Seattle merchant 46 cents to
deliver the same package, and
take two or three days longer to do
it,. 1t is an interesting problem.
and as to what effect it will have on
the local merchant and how he will
finally solve it, is matter for
study. That there will be hustle
for business is certain. Whether
the city merchant will get it all, or
whether the country merchant with
the advantage Of rates and time,
may still get his share, is the ques-
tion.

PEACE MOVE is REPUDIATED
Turkish Cabinet Forced Out and
Nazim Pasha Shot.

Constantinople- crisis in Turkish
affairs came Friday with dramatic sud-
deness. The grand vizier, Kiamil
Pasha, and the Ottoman cabinet re-
signed, and Mahmoud Shefket Pasha,
formerly minister of war and COM
mander of the constitutional army
which enthroned Mehmed V as sultan,
was appointed grand vizier.
In a great demonstration of the peo-
pie in the streets, Nazim Pasha, for
mer war minister and commander-in-
chief of the army, was shot dead.
Enver Bey and Talaat Bey had given
explicit orders that no blood should be
shed. But Nazim Pasha's aide-de-
camp fired from window of the porte
at Enver Bey and his companion, and
they returned the fire. Their bullets
killed Nazim Pasha himself.
In spite of this tragedy there was
no disturbance of order elsewhere.
Thursday the grand council pro-
nounced in favor of peace almost at
any price. Friday a vast crowd,
drawn from all classes, declared for
war rather than peace without Adrian
ople. Because the crowd was backed
by general public opinion, the govern
ment surrendered and relinquished

HARBoR LAND PROBE SOUGHT
Washington Legislators Attack Sc
attic Waterfront Owners.

Olympia a resolution which is to
be made special order of business in
the house is adopted, an investigation
will be begun at once to determine the
ownership of harbor property in Seat
tie and other cities on Puget Sound, of
an estimated value of 500, 0O0,0
The resolution was introduced by
Houser, of King county, who made a
bitter fight for it's immediate adoption
but lost by small vote.
In fiery speech Representative
Houser outlined his contentious, de-
claring that the present owners of
practically the entire Seattle water
front where docks are located, and the
waterfronts of Tacoma, Olympia and
other Puget Sound cities, have no just
titles. He asserted that the dock
property is being held fraudulently
and fayed the holders in no uncertain
language.
After his fight, which was backed
by other house leaders, including Rep
resentative Murphine, leader of the
Bull Moosers, an attempt was made to
have the house adopt the measure and
have Speaker Taylor appoint COM
mittee to begin an investigation at
once. There was storm of protest
which kept the house in a state of
confusion for nearly an hour. The
measure was sent to the printer with
instructions to rush copies back.

ALAN RACE TRACK Is SCORED
Washington Asks Idaho to Erase
Foul Blot on State.''

Olympia-By the adoption of joint
memorial requesting the Idaho legisla-
ture to suppress horse racing and pool
selling in that state, the Washington
Legislature hopes to bring to an end
the race track conducted at Alan, Ida
no, near the Washington state line.
A memorial with that purport was in
troduced in the senate by Senator
Hutchinson, and it is thought will be
adopted by both houses. It received
the Endorsement of the senate memoir
ials committee.
The race track at Alan and the pool
selling which is permitted in other
parts of the state is described in the
memorial as "a foul blot on your
state, which should be wiped out. :"
The interest of the Washington legis-
lature in the proposition is the fact
that the track is near Spokane and at
tracts hundreds of people from that
city and other towns in Washington.
To the track the memorial attributes
the downfall of hundreds of Washing
ton young men.
'"The Alan race track is curse to
Idaho and Washington" said Senator
Hutchinson in introducing the pro-
posed memorial. cit is really a
greater curse to Washington than Ida
no because it gains its patronage from
Washington. I do not believe the
people of Idaho generally know of the
conditions, or they would have sup
pressed the track long ago."
