Carl Bach, representing the
musicians union, appeared be-
fore the council backing petit
ton asking that the ordinance be
amended to allow music in sa-
looms, but the council did not re-
spond.

take" said the mayor.
Bach protested. He said cafes
had music, and the saloons want
ed a square deal and the must
clans chance to make money.
Il think they ought to have 1t, :"

u. S. MAY PAY
FOR A TENDER

The Puyallup river lift bridge
will be done next week, according
to Commissioner Wods, and he
asked the council this morning
what was wanted in the matter
of bridge-tenders. AS the bridge
will not have to be raised oftener
than three or four times year,
a bridge-tender is really hardly
necessary.
Woods will see what the govern
ment will require before the
city acts.

HERE THEY TERMINATE
AS SIT COSTS LESS'
There are many important
facts concerning Tacoma of
which a large number of our
| best citizens are either fgnor-
ant or do not realize the full
significance. 1t is duty that
will be a pleasure to every one
living in Tacoma, IL he will
make some effort to learn the
| truth of what is going on
about him. Why be obliged to
| stand with open mouth, or like
a dummy when some pessimist
or chronic GROWER attacks our
city? Why not be in a posi-
| ton to give such a one the
facts? Is 1T not just as import
ant to be informed and know
the truth of our city as it is
of ones own business? What
personal affairs. Every day we
meet people who are surprised
and glad to learn of some i'm
portant fact they should have
learned before about "our own
! town."
Not long ago the writer was
talking with a man who la
mented the fact that we do not
see so many ships lying in the
Tacoma harbor as there were
| years ago, and he thought Ia
coma was losing her COM
merce. The reason for this APP
parent lack in the number of
vessels is that instead of a lot
! of old wind TANNERS lying at
our wharves, a less number of
large steam liners coming
here with more rapid means of
handling cargo, quickly stow
away from four to six times the
load of a sailing vessel, and
! are gone. The steam vessels
make the same distance and
back again in less than half the
time required for sailing ves-
sells.
Last week the writer went
to the office of Dodwell & Co.
to inquire IL the commerce of
Tacoma had at any time fallen
off, and was informed that 1t
is, and has been, steadily in
creasing. They say that when
the Panama canal is open they
will have additional ships ply
ing from Tacoma to Europe
and across the Pacific.
The natural advantages of

steady development into the
largest city on the Pacific
coast. One of the most inn
portant factors will begin to
show its effect before the end
of 1913. When the Point Defi-

meet Tacoma with the Column
bia river grade, which is the
only point between Alaska and
the Panama canal where trains
can pass from beyond the
mountains to tidewater on a
continuous downhfll haul. is
completed, then the Great
Northern will no longer come
over the mountains to meet the
ships at a point number of
miles to our north. but with
the Northern Pacific and the
Hartman lines will come di-
rectly to Tacoma from the
south. Here at Tacoma these
roads have provided for their
needs a combined waterfront
acreage larger than in any 9TH
