Secretary Cover of the park
board denied today that the
board had any intention of In
terfering with municipal develop

breakwater to Point Defiance
would be built with Stag.
-Four years ago the board
tried to get Stag for such a
breakwater," he said. The deal
was delayed by other things, and
the idea Just came to a head re-

Historic Event, in
Steilacoom. at Least

The passing of the Steilacoom
line yesterday was historic
event. Its significance is meas
ured by the fact that "Purd" let
me ride on the rear platform of
derelict car No. 551 for an entire
round trip. He even let me break
the company's rules by asking
him questions.
And when we reached the old
est city on Puget Sound, he
bought me a cigar in BARS drug
store, and let me smoke 1t during
the return trip.
For "Purd" was celebrating.
He bought ice cream cones for the
Riddles of Steilacoom. and shook
hands all around with the group
of old-timers that always is on
hand when the car with the aft
ernoon newspapers rolls in.
For 'Purd" left Steilacoom at
$40 last night on his last return
trip over the crooked, winding
ribbon of rails that has connect

Manager Bean once told me
that the only way he could get
rid of me was by abandoning the
Steilacoom line.
He can't do it. He is taking

The Steilacoom suburban cleo
