APPLEBY
GOT idea
AT CAMP

Stephen Appleby, cashier of the
National Bank of Tacoma, is the
man who deserves chief credit for
bringing the American Lake camp
matter to a head.
AS a member of the business
mems camp, held at Cosgrove last
summer, he learned that the army
bill passed by congress had pro-
vided for the placing of a greatly
increased number of troops in the
Puget Sound area.
Goes to Washington.
AcQuainting only carefully Sc
lected committee of public spirited
Tacomans with his plans, he met
Maj. Gen. j. F. Bell, second high
est officer in the army, and finally
gained the generals complete APP
prevail of plans for division post
at the lake.
This was after Gen. Bell had
come here last summer especially
to go over the ground himself.
Fortified with the backing of
the army, Mr.. Appleby, together
with Jesse o. Thomas and Frank
Is. Baker, went to Washington ID.
c., and there saw Newton ID.
Baker, the secretary of war.
After carefully studying the
matter over and calling in Gen.
Bell, Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott and
other army heads, the secretary
decided to sign an agreement
binding the government to assign
a division of troops here, II the
site should be donated, but first
he wished to consult the Presi-
dent.
Wilson Says Yes.
The matter was of such SUI
|preme Importance that he did not
wish to assume full responsibility
for the step. This necessitated a
wait of several weeks. as Presi-
dent Wilson was at that time in
the concluding part of his cam
paign.
With the election over, he found
time to study the situation, and
he, as commander-in-chief of the
army, assented to his war secre-
tary's signing the agreement.
This was not done, however, I'M
til after Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the senate military
affairs committee, and Congress-
man Dent, chairman of the house
committee, had also o. KID the
project.
Bank Shows Public Spirit.
During all these months Mr.. APP
pleby has been giving nearly his
entire time to the subject. His
employers, who are no more d.
rectly Interested In the success Of
the enterprise than are any other
Tacomans, have cheerfully given
him unlimited leave Of absence on
full salary.

To the People of Pierce County:
Tacoma, the City of Destiny, is
now ready to establish that des-
tiny as a world power.
Most beautiful and picturesque
IN location, with unrivaled harbor,
with a great tideflat area just now
opening for industrial develop
ment, with her mountain for
sightseers, her adjacent valleys
for agriculture, with timber un-
matched, Tacoma has wondered
what to do with her great prairie
and beautiful lakes, and now the
United States government has Of
fered the solution to the prob
lem by proposing the establish
ment of a great army headquar-
ters, mobilization center and di-
vision encampment.
Pierce county is asked to fur
nish the site. The government
will do the rest.
Not a Mere Barracks.
At meeting some time ago
citizens from all over the county
asked me to be chairman of the
committee to further this project.
The committee has been active
in the preliminary work with the
government, and the message is
here from Washington announc-
ing that the secretary of war,
with the approval of President
Wilson, Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the senate of mill
tary affairs, and Congressman
Dent of the house committee, has
