OLD TACOMA
RESIDENTS
TO PROTEST

Dissatisfied with a recent ac-
ton of the park board, when 1t
decided to hold the Tacoma Smell
ter Co. under a forgotten agree
ment to furnish Stag for break
water outside Point Defiance
park, residents of Old Tacoma to-
day made plans FOR public in
dignation meeting, to be held In a
few days.
Old Tacoma wants the Stag
used for permanent roadway
along the waterfront and for
fishermen's breakwater and dock.
The residents charge the park
board with bad faith. in blocking
the improvement after all plans
had been made by the city.
II am convinced that the pub
lie wants the Stag for a big mu-
nicipal improvement rather than
for a protection for the Tacoma
Yacht club, and | am doing all
can to convince the park board
that it Is taking the wrong view
point" said Commissioner Gronen
today.
II will gladly speak at the in
dignation meeting. and will eX-
plain just how the park board
double-crossed the city.
at is up to the citizens to pre-
vent this steal. II we do not get
the Stag, it means that the city
cannot afford to build a fisher
mems dock for several years. In
the meantime, our fishing indus
try will have disappeared"

tain highway, Sunday, when City
Meat Inspector II. A. Button ex-
planned the new meat inspection
system OF Tacoma, Andrew Chris
Jensen, chairman of the meeting.

Christensen declared to Mayor
Fawcett that the farmers were
suffering hardship by the
health departments new inspec-
ton work, and that all business
of the Tanwax and Leber districts
would probably go to Seattle as
result.
ut means that we will have to
cease raising hogs for market"
said the farmer. The health de-
partment wants us to send en-
trails of the animals along with
the meat. Anyone who UNDER
stands butchering knows that
pork Is unfit for use II the carcass
is not cleaned Immediately after
butchering.
I'VE are raising hogs now In
order to use our skinned milk
for food. II we giveup hog rails
ing. we will send our milk to the
condensories, and do our trading
in Seattle"
DR.. Button reported to Mayor
Fawcett that after he had told the
farmers about the inspection
rules, seven-eights of them were
satisfied.

GIANT SUB READY
FOR A GETAWAY;
BUT VERY WORRIED

BALTIMORE, July a.
The tug Timmons began re-
moving the barges construct
ing the German submarine
Deutschland, at 1:3O today.
Every indication points to
immediate departure.
Official and unofficial spies
were scattered down the Pata-
pasco today by the Germans to
protect the sub-sea freighter
Deutschland against the suspected
Vaccinations of the British.
This counter movement was
taken in view of the United States
governments refusal to convoy
the submarine to the capes.
Hints that the Deutschland
might be rammed accidentally"
have become facts to the over
wrought Germans.

Tour From Los Angeles.

The old idea that successful cross
country automobile tours were impos-
Sible before July l was given crimp
when Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Blank
strum of Los Angeles pulled into
Rock Island. They left Los Angeles
May II. travelling 2,793 miles in %
days. Just outside of Davenport they
encountered the first tire trouble, one
of the rear tubes blowing out, but the
other three wheels carried California
air into Rock Island.
Mr. Blankstrum had nothing but
praise for the White Way" route from
Omaha to Rock Island. and in spite OF
the heavy rains and mud the travelling
was accomplished without any great
hardships. He followed the Lincoln
highway from Los Angeles to Omaha

Everything ouarantsed-

agriculture for change in the regu-
lations so they might shoot ducks in
the spring the department has pre-
pared and made public some contem-
plated changes which will, on approval
of the president, become a law after
Aug. Is.
THE regulations if adopted Will
open the season on migratory water
fowl Sept. Is and close Nov. 16, which
would deprive the gunners Of the best
month of the fall season to shoot
ducks
THE department then in turn pro-
poses to open the season again rep.
and close March II.
No Help LEGALLY.
"Now this change would not help
the gunners in this part of the state
a particle, for the ducks do not get
here as early as March 8. Personally
| am not in favor of late spring shoot
ing, but l am in favor of giving all
sportsmen an equal chance.
Il am sure the sportsmen are will
ing to open the season as late as oct
Is and close Dec. Is in order to have
the entire month of March, but to ruin
