SAMTA'S PART Y
GREAT SUCCESS

That Times Santa Claus party
at the Glide pavilion last night
for the benefit of the poor was
a HUMDINGER!
No kidding, 1t was the clas-
siest, the finest, splendidest af-
fair of the sort OF the Yuletide
season.
The Times Santa took in over
$50 which will be distributed to
the needy.
Everybody had a good time,
the music couldn't have been bet
ter, the floor couldn't have been
smoother and the girls couldn't
have been prettier.
The folks at that hop last night
displayed the REAL CHRISTMAS
SPIRIT. sE
They couldn't have done bet
ter.
And in return for; all those
four-bit pieces the Times Santa
saw to it that everybody had the
liyeliest four hours Of dancing
ever given In Tacoma.
And they got 1t.
And something more, too.
THE TANGO! DID 1T GET

This is the answer Of the street railway monopoly
of Tacoma to the demand of the city that it take it's
unsightly wooden poles off Pacific avenue and G
street when the city installs the artistic lighting
system.
It shows the spirit of Stone Webster toward Ia
coma.
Business men and citizens generally demand that
the business streets of Tacoma be fixed up to look
like city before the great crowds this way for
the Panama exposition. TO further this idea the
council has inaugurated plan for lighting the
business districts by which they intend to remove all
the unsightly poles and wires from the street
And when they asked the Stone Webster company
to cooperate, and demanded that they do so, the
company tells the city that it will do it pleases

SPEAKS At
T|DEF[ATS

Commissioner Ray Freeland,
the one oity commissioner who
is for municipal ownership of the
tideflat street railway line, spoke
to the Milwaukee shop men at
noon today. He said the men
need not be alarmed over the
transfer question, that the city
could probably force transfers
with the Stone-W ebster company
but rather than allow them to
go over the bridge and pay them
by refusing their present fran
chise tax, Freeland said he would
prefer the city build the line and
operate it free to the working
men until it can be extended into
other sections of the city.
