Five monster municipal prof.
ects, four of them centering about
a plan for a huge municipal ter
minaI, similar 20 the Brooklyn
Bush terminals, were announced
tentatively by Mayor Fawcett at
tOday's council meeting.
The mayor declared that las
soon as this darned recall is set
tled'' he was going to put the
projects before the citizens of Ta-
coma on a bond issue. He wants
to have the council well organized
before formally bringing up his
schemes, he said.
Fawcett's first plan is for the
purchase of the 72-acre strip of
land owned by the Northern Pa
cific, between the city waterway
and the middle waterway. on
which the Tacoma Yacht club
house stands. This land can be
purchased at $4,000 per acre, a
remarkably cheap figure, the
mayor says. On this strip of land
would be erected a municipal ter
minaf where docks, manufactur-
ing plants and mills could lease
sites.
Cold Storage. to
The second plan is for the cree
tion of a large municipal cold
storage plant, either at the mu-
nieipal dock, or on the terminal
property. The mayor would next

MAYOR PLANS
MUNICIPAL
TERMINAL

dredse out the middle waterway
from the st. Paul mill docks to
the end oi~the 18th street bridge,
SO that shipping would have ac-
cess TO three sides of the termi-
nal property.
s The fourth plan, upon which
the mayor has not definitely de-
cided, is to condemn a strip of
land from the 18th street end of
the middle waterway to the east
waterway of the city channel,
near the Carstens Packing COM
pany. This would form an island
on the large section of land and
at the end of the 18th street
bridge, and would furnish a circu-
lar waterway for steamers and
ships.
Municipal Cemetery.
Faweett's fifth project is a mu-
nicipal cemetery. He is assured
that a city-owned cemetery would
meet with success.
Purchase of the ~ acres for
terminal purposes and the dredg-
ing Of the middle waterway would
cost approximately 1880, 000. /"
said the mayor today. But once
we acquired that land we could
fill II up quickly and the revenue
would go into a sinking fund to
pay off the bonds. The revenue
would be large, because IL would
be a municipal ocean dock.

Making the charge that cafes
and saloons in Tacoma are vio-
Iating the misunderstanding law
and the Sunday liquor law, by
selling liquor to patrons during
the small hours of the night and
on Sundays. Mayor A. v. Faw~

looms.

I've had one report recently
that this was going on, but had
no idea that so many places were
violating the law" said Mills.

Gently, Mills replied:

Mayor Fawcetts most serious
charge involves the Argonaut
cafe and the Lotus cafe, on Pa
cific avenue between 10th and
18th streets. In the Argonaut
there is a secret room in the
basement. conducted by Dave
Evans, proprietor of the cafes

In this room men and women
congregate after midnight, when
the bar is supposedly closed, and
the crowds hold riotous drink

Boon To Mankind

Ignatius Tootle, the renowned au-
thority on floral life, who lives near
the quiet village of Yankee Springs,
is at the present time trying to out
burbank Burbank, the wiz, by grow
ing rectangular watermelon. Mr.
Tootle has noticed for years that ulti-
mate consumers have had much trou-
BILE trying to carry watermelons from
the store, inasmuch as they (the wa
termelons) are of awkward shape and
quite slippery, and after watermelon
has fallen and has hit the cement side
walk its usefulness may be said to be
over. Mr.. Tootle's watermelon will
be long and will have square corners,
one of which corners will fit into the
bent elbow when the melon is carried
on the inside of the arm. Mr.. Tootle
expects to have his new melon grow
ing and on the market by 1927, if moth
ing happens.-Boston Globe.

The Way of Progress.

A dog barking at passing automo-
bile is generally supposed to be al tell
ing symbol of futile objection to the
march of progress as could we'll be
imagined. In almost the same category,
however, belongs the strike of the
stevedores in New Orleans against the
introduction of the electric truck to
transport freight between vessels and
warehouses. The wonder is that this
improvement has been so long delayed
instead of only now appearing
then as a source Of a new labor diff
Guilty. One cannot have much SYM
pathy for opposition in this particular
instance. The motor vehicle in all of
its forms has come to stay, and the
rest of the world has been rather rap
idly adjusting itself to the new condi-
mountaineering Record.

PARADISE FOR THE BIRDS
Providence Seems to Have Provided
Temperate Zone for the Feathered
Friends of Man.

Up in the far country where the
timber fails, the calendar is respect
ed. There is no summer before the
official day set for It. The ground is
held fast by frost until June is well
started. There are flurries of snow,
wild, bitter winds, sky that has 10
mercy. And then, suddenly. the wind
shifts and comes out Of the south. 1t
is summer then with leap.
The interest of the temperate zone
in the northland is that it is there
that have gone great many of the
migrating birds which paid US few
days visit and passed on. For all its
inhospitality to man, that country in
summer Is a paradise for birds. Its
marshes are safe refugees from two
and four-footed enemies. There is ex-
haustless material for nests. And out
of the pools come myriads of insects,
food that does not fail until the time
for the southwark bird movement ar
rives.
Some man has said that there is
no God north of latitude So He did
not inquire as to what the birds
might have thought of that-Toledo

The American Farmer.

All things recalled, wouldn't it be
the part of craftsmanship to do con-
occasionally for the American farmer?
He's one-fourth of your population,
and the nations best hope. The
American merchant borrows at five
per cent. The American stock gam
bier, producing nothing, accomplish
ing nothing, merest leech living by
the toll Of others, borrows for eveN
less. The American farmer, with all
that can be said TO his good and sol-'-
ent advantage, must and does pay So
per cent.
And all the time the savings and
postal banks are bullying with billions
If the government would make two
blades of grass grow where but one
has grown beforehand publicly il
would pay-the wide-fung chance lies
open. Let it model action on French
or German lines, and place the farmer
on borrowing par with the merchant

Makes Jobs for Detectives.

Probably the only people to benefit
by recent suffragette outrages are
private detectives, many of whom
are doing little else just now but
guarding pictures and other treasures
of well-known hosts and hostesses
from attacks at social functions, the
London Globe states.
The head of one private detective
agency told me the other day, says
THE Carpenter" in the Express, that
he had been obliged to engage a spe,
cial stan for this work, and that to
some receptions he has sent as many
as dozen faultlessly attired guests
to look after the pictures and china
of the host.
