That Tacoma has been beauti-
fully bumped; that she will be up
against expenditures that will run
to $50, 400, 900 and more before
the deal Is over and that this city
will be ruined as a world port
for the benefit of Seattle. is the
statement made by City Engineer
Raleigh I'm long report to the
city council on the action taken by
Pierce county commissioners I'm
conjunction with the King coun-
ty commissioners on the White
Stuck-Puyallup river matter.
Raleigh says that while the
Pierce county commissioners have
agreed to a deal with King coun-
ty by which certain farm lands
in this county are to be protect
ed, that no provision has been
made to protect Tacoma. That
the waters of White river which
should go to Seattle are to be
forever diverted to Tacoma and
they will for all time continue to
pour their burden of silt into Ia
coma harbor and finally fill it up
unless Tacoma goes to the ex-
pense of continuous dredging.
His view of it is that Tacoma
has simply been bumped hard.
That the diverting dam never
should be built at all He says it
would be cheaper right now to
cut through the land to the
sound and let the White river out
at Des Moines at an expense of
possibly $15,000,000 than to go
ahead with the scheme of the
King county compromise.
He considers the whole thing
an outrage on Tacoma and calls
on the city to go to court for an
injunction to prevent If possible
the preparation of this game on
this city which will forever free
Seattle from any trouble and
forever dump trouble at the door
of Tacoma.
The city council referred the
communication to the city attor-
.ney.

UNITED STATES AUTHORITIES
ISSUE WARRANT FOR j..
PARKER WHITNEY, MIL
HONAIRE CLUBMAN OF SAN
FRANCISCO, FOLLOWING
GIRLS STORY.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-
j. Parker Whitney, arrested on a
white slavery charge i'm Sacra-
mentO early today, will probably
come to San Francisco to tell his
own story when the federal grand
jury considers the charges
brought by Genevieve Hannah.
James p. Sweeney, the million
aire ranchman's counsel, said to-
day that Whitney would make a
counter accusation of blackmail.
District Attorney Preston says the
girl met Whitney in New York,
become engaged to him, and &C
companied him to Atlantic City,
Boston, Seattle, Tacoma and Van
couver. She found later that
Whitney would have nothing to
do with her.
The warrant was issued last
night by John w. Preston, United
States district attorney for this
district, following a grand jury
investigation In which Whitney
was indicted.
The indictment followed the
story of Miss Genevieve Hannah
of New York city, who declared
she met Whitney in New York
city In the Plaza hotel and that
she travelled with him In several
cities in the east and then came
west under the promise of mar
riage. Miss Hannah then return
ed to New York and when she
came back to San Francisco Whit
ney ignored her, she says.

Give 1t a Name.

The fad now is to give your
farm or place 4 name.
. But we should 60 a little fur
ther, and do a little better, and
give the public a little more sat
isfaction.
We should not only give our
farms names, but those names
should be neatly painted on a sign
over each entrance, together with
the name of the owner of the
place.
And while we are about it let's
do another good job and give a
name to every country church,
and school house, and cemetery,
and public place of every nature,
and have the names of those con-
spicuously displayed.
And then when the township is
thus completely named and char
ted a map could be printed giving
the location of each place by
name, together with every high
way, lake and river in like man
ner, and residents could provide
themselves with these maps.
And with such a map a person
totally uuacquainted in the terri.
tory could 60 anywhere and find
any place without asking a single
question.
And that is something no man
on earth can do today under pres
emit conditions.
Give it a name.

Best Cough M0dE-

children had a hard cold and
cOughed dreadfully. Upon the
advice of a druggist purchased
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and it benefited him at

medicine for children because it
is pleasant to take. They do not
object to taking it," writes Mrs.

This remedy contains no opium
or other narcotic, and may be
given to a child as confidently as
an adult. Sold by all dealers.
