WOMEN ON
JURY ENJOY
THE FUN

In the suit of William Dolberg
against DR.. William Keller the
lawyers got to trying each other
before Judge Card this morning.
Attorney Holt, for the defense,
wanted to introduce a deposition
of DR.. Simmons. Attorney H. M.
Johnston, for Dolberg, objected,
charging Holt with unprofessional
conduct. He said Holt went to
Simmons and laid his side of the
case before him before time to
take the deposition, thus getting
a biased view from Simmons.
Holt went on the stand and
Johnston grilled him.
Now you go on the stand"
said Holt, and Johnston took the
oath and became a witness and
had Holt probe his own conduct,
all of which the jury of women
seemed to hugely enjoy.

Through freight across this

the great transportation lines
are always studying is how to
reduce the cost of handling
through freight. Curves and
grades are being eliminated,
both banks of the Columbia are
now in use to obtain a water
grade route to deep water and
the ocean at Tacoma. Many
millions are being spent to con-
Columbia River gap with salt
water at Tacoma on Puget
Sound over the Point Defiance
cutoff. The expenditure of
millions of dollars to change
the present route over the
mountains to water grade route
via the Columbia into Tacoma
is to reduce the cost of hand
ling freight. The railroads
have chosen Tacoma because
1T costs less"
Tacoma is the key to the
overland transportation prob
lem on the Pacific coast. No
matter what frantic efforts are
made elsewhere for this busi-
ness, the port of least cost VIII
get the business.
Human ingenuity has not yet
succeeded in preventing a river
from depositing it's silt at its
mouth, and as long as the tide
ebbs and flows, and there are
gales on the ocean, IL Will be
impossible for any Sea-going
vessel of present day average
draft to do business over the
Columbia River bar.
With no time nor opportuni-
ty to study large engineering
problems, which western rail-
road builders have studied for
years, these are the conclu-
sions at which we must arrive
in view of the present activity
of the railroads at Tacoma.
