Another Real Romance Ralroadng the Story of Daniel Willard Who
Began Track Worker and Climbed the Grade
President of a Great Line.

the farms and mines of Wisconsin to
high office with the 500. lie at once
recognized the abilities of Daniel Will
lard and helped In his advance. 1t is
seldom that twins meet so late in life.
but the two men 50 often referred To
as Two Of a kind recognized their
common ties at once and became true
brothers.
Mr.. Underwood was the supcrin-
tcndcnt of the road and had promoted
MIR willard To- be his assistant. They
worked together in this way until
1899, when Mr.. Underwood was called
to be general manager of the Balti-
NOR, and ohio Railroad and a vice.
president. Mr.. Willard shortly fol-
lowed him to hc the assistant general
manager Of the Baltimore and Ohio.
and helped in tho many improvements
to which IN" railroad WAS submitting
under ne new direction.
In this position the ability of Daniel
Willard had full play. There was
plenty of room for his activity. lie
showed tu the fun his power of grasp
ing essential facts. His broad en-
perioncc in many limos came into play.
out of tn. West come many men of

1t was evident that two such master

not needed for one railroad after they
had been working together for year

the parting. simply that there were no
more tunnels needed.

Mr.. Willard went to the Chicago, Bur

astonishmcnt of his intimatcs, he kept

THE TINES LITTLE SPAsM.

Getting It's Zip tnroUga booze soaked brain
warped through years ot dissipation nj nsort
with dcnizcns OF TIE underworld the Seattle Times
has seen tit during tho past week 10 hold ta- city
OF Olympia and the county of rmrstou up 10 the
scorn OF the entire state. to isrcprescnt it aa the
source of all corruption, hot-bed OF vice, con-
spracy aud connivance to assist criminals in
evading the law, and to evolve from this cam
paign for the removal Of the state capital to
more "respectabe" location. All this because
the sheriff Of this county, through admitted care
lessness, let couple of prisoners escape from the
county Jail.
The Seattle Times would have you think that
the people of Olympia conspred together to aid
the escape of Gillies and Roberts, that the county
officials directly involved in the affair, and
that the entire city and county glad that they
did get away; but the Seattle Times, unless its
view of the situation is entirely perverted by
this booze-soaked, dissipated brain that all truth
is gone out of it, knows better than that The
charitable view of its postion-and it is not en-
titled to bit of charity-is that it reached the
point where it had to throw fit about some
thing and selected this situation as the object of
its little spasm.
If any newspaper ever dealt any community
absolute injustice or ever wilfuy misrepresented
and perverted generally known and easily obtain
able facts the Seattle Times has so treated Olym-
pia. The caeressness and negligence Of one off
cial cannot rightly be blamed upon the entire
community; the assistance that was given these
prisoners by one two outsiders cannot properly
be held to be, nor is it by any means, the attitude
of the city and the county, of it's other officials.
Likewise all the insinuatiOns and suggestions as
to official conspiracy to aid the prisoners are of
course, an absolute lie, the alcoholic dream of a
constantly soused reporter.
Olympia, to our mind, need not fear the Times
little spasm-but it should not forget it. 1t will
make no progress in its booze-conceived revival
of agitation to remove the capital-that was set
tied long ago; but it has attempted to besmirch
the city's name and reputation, without just
cause and upon distorted and untrue statements,
and the people of Olympia should not forget that
some day it may come in handy

LISTER AND THE CAPITOL PLANS.

Suggestions that Governor Lister tacitly acqui-
esces in the Times little spasm come, of course
from those who really do not know the situation
or else are prompted by some vindictive DESIRE
for the record plainly shows that he sought to go
as far as Republican legislature would let him
go with the new development, until the state
supreme court halted all progress by declaring
the capitol bond issue unconstitutional We will
all agree that he can neither be blamed for what
a Republican legislature does nor for supreme
court decision.
The state of Washington had not acquired all
of Capitol Point for its building purposes as the
plans designed, until Lister took charge of the
situation; it had not had the streets closed up so
the whole tract could be laid out in one park
until Lister had this done through the capitol
commission. And the warrant Indebtedness
against the general fund would have been taken
up, the Temple Of Justce-an unsightly hang
over from Republican administration-woul
have been completed and the two blocks of prop
erty for the Main street entrance would have
been completed and the two blocks of property
been purchased, if the bond issue had not been
knocked out by the supreme court, for this work
was well under way and all arrangements for it's
completion had been made, when the decision was
given.
ton had been made, when the decision was given.
But in other ways, in which his efforts not
blocked on the one hand by Republican legisla-
ture which refused to authorize than third
of the proposed bond issue or by court which
held that bond issue illegal, Governor Lister has
demonstrated his friendliness toward Olympia as
the Capital City, in the form which counts. More
of the state departments are located in OLYMPIA
now than ever before, having been moved here in
the last three and half years from other cities
and these additions of offices previously main
tanned outside have meant more residents for the
city of Olympia and larger payroll for the city.
Such actions count for much; talk is cheap.
Anyone who tells you Governor Lister is hos
