For the past three years $780,
600 to 100000 has been appro-
priated by congress for the pur-
chase of machine guns, but our
chief of ordnance, Brig. Gen. Will
liam Crozier, has bought not a
single machine gun during that
period, on the ground that no sat
isfactory type had been found.
AND ALL THE WHILE, THE
WORLDS GREATEST MACHINE

Ii was in 1911 that Col. Isaac
N. Lewis OF the coast artillery
first offered his air-cooled gun to
the United States.

Gill Invokes Nuisance

SEATTLE, May 10. = Since
Mayor Gill and Police Chief Beck

policy of smashing drug stores
that were operating as blind pigs

town has been figuring that the

hailed into court and being made

Lawyers had been supposing
that the officials had been re-

law for justification of their,
course, and the lawyers were
quite sure the dry law gave Of

1t was evidently a flaw in the ma

the design. Col. Lewis, a poor
man, had already raised $4,000
for the development of his gun
He had not been able to afford
the highest grade of steel.
But Gen. Crozier and his asso.

The remark caused the
first laugh of the hearing.
The plaintiffs concluded their
case after the representatives OF

fruitlessly because the tourist

He said they had spent $15,-

getting people to come to Spo-
kane from the east, and had sent
out 100000 pieces Iof litera-
ture to attract tourists besides
advertising heavily in several of
the leading magazines.
Similar testimony was given by
w. w. Blaine, secretary of the
Everett Commercial club, and
Giles Smith, acting secretary of
the Tacoma Commercial club &

l.. M. Lepper, secretary of the

He mentioned Mt. Tacoma,

Oregon's live volcano, natural

He is really dead this time.

from his desire for woman.
Baca went to Santa Tomas

he made a mistake in picking his

Little drops Of water
Falling every day
Makes the grass grow rapidly
Insuring us lots Of hay.
