TIME TABLES.
Special to The Kenna Record. J


Time tables are small printed
instruments of torture, issued
by the railway companies for
the purpose of increasing the
discomforts of railway travel.
No man, from the birth of the
first time table, has been able to
read one of them, yet no one
has ever denied his ability to do
so.
When a woman, upon decid-
ing to visit her old school
chum at Seldom-Spend blythe
Pike, asks her husband to look
up the trains, he picks up the
printed brain-wrecker and with
nOnchalant and debonnaire ease,
runs his finger down the list Of
trains, and after an interval,
announces that she had best 90
over the P. U. N. @. U. K. line,
on the train leaving the Union
Station at 9:15 a. m. She ac-
Cordingly makes her arrange

the Senate itself, has been shock
ed, and some of tie solons are
rather resentful of a plan which
boiled down simply means that
the Senate must be rushed.
Fhe theory of the Administra-
tion men is that with the carry
ing out of the proposed legisla-
live program the case of the
Democratic party can be put up
to the people of the country in
mid summer. According to the
Wilson idea, the voters will be
obliged to DO justice to the ADJ
ADMINISTRATION and therefore re-
turn a Democratic Congress.

that they are the minority in

POLICE TO RESUME HUNT
FOR BODY OF KIRKW00D

The search for the body of James
Kirkwood, who was drowned in the
Water ST. eddies last Saturday morn
ing, was given up Wednesday. but
will probably be resumed some time
Thursday by Chief Krieter and a force
Of men. Every means of raising the
body has been used by the police Off

used for two whole days but the body
failed 10 come TO the top. Owing 10
the great height and the swiftness of
the river at this time OF the year,
there is little hope by many that the
boy viii be found before the water
goes down. Some think that the
body has been carried down the river
by the swift current. as it is claimed
that it could have been swept through
the narrow channel of the south
branch Of the river at this point at
this time Of the season.
According to word sent by his par
ents the young man was forbidden to
remove the boat from the yard
where he built it, They claim that
he built the boat entirely himself.
When he found it impossible to take
the boat TO the river himself the par
ents claim that he traded it for a
number of batteries and the boys with
whom he traded removed the boat to
the river. KirkwOOd followed them
and was in the boat when the acct
dent occurred.

A city manager scheme of mu-

Mayor A. V. Faweett declared
today that several prominent men

services of a manager who would

gested that the city be run SINH

"Tacoma's commission form of
government is an excellent theory,
but it has not worked out prop
erly," declared Mayor Fawcett.
I'VE elect commissioners as heads
of important departments, who
know absolutely nothing of the
character of work to be done. AS
a result, expensive engineers are
hired to do the work and the
commissioners become mere fig
ureheads. The city could be
saved a large sum of money by
the city manager scheme. The
council, not drawing any salary,
would contain representative men
who would supervise municipal
affairs and could keep an eye on
the managers work all the time.

LUCKY
FELLE

H. L. Putnam, a rancher of
FirwOOd station, is the un-
luckiest man in Tacoma.
Putnam lost his way late
last night trying to find the
Union depot. He wandered
down towards the 22nd
street docks, and the first
think he knew he had fallen
into a tub of liquid creO-
sOte.
1t was pitch dark, and
Putnam, sn0rting and wildly
wiping the burning liquid
out of his eyes and mouth,
tumbled off the end of a
pier into the city channel.
The rancher treaded wa.
ter, yelling for help. Then
he managed to grasp a
stringer of the dock and
cling to IL, still yelling. just
as help was coming, the gas
company's waste pipe on the
dock opened up, and Put
nam was flooded with grease,
coal dust and mud.
At last Putnam was lifted
on the dock, and taken to the
police station. He used four
gallons of gasoline to clean
off the mess, but when he
started for home today he
was still as black as u hat.
