skates had left many lines, one was
reminded CT the map of Europe. A
number of boys were out early to take
advantage o. skating weather--Sunday

of The bridge they had traced a large
circle with pathways running from the
center to the outside rim, looking
FROM the bridge like huge clock.
Very much delighted with skating
conditions they enjoyed the ice i'm
mensely and soon had enough snow re-
moved to leave them unhampercd paths
in which to skate. One small boy turn

by the Quasi Bros. over sixty years

CITY GIVES UP SITE
TO PAPER MILL co.

The city council Monday voted to
inform the L. S. forestry depart
ment that II did not consider the
Sultan river power site essential TO
the city light plants future devel-
opmcnt.
The action was taken after long
debate. and followed the presenta-
ton of argument by II. O. Pond
president of the Sound Paper Co.,
who said that his firm was ready to
spend s6,OOO.OOO to s10,000,000 in or
near Seattle constructing paper
mill which would employ 1000 men,
and s6.0O0,000 more in a power
plant at Sultan river.
\. ID. Whitney. secretary OF the
Pacific Power Development Co.
which proposed TO erect for the city
a $3.000.00O hydro-electric plant,
held that the plans for the plant
had been perfected at considerable
expense and time.
Ky Its decision the council VIZ
tually announces that IL will not
build It's power plant at Sultan river
and that 1t is agreeable to the con
struction of the paper mill power
plant. This invalidates the work of
the Pacific Power and Development
Co. which drew the plans for the
plant believing the city ultimately
would erect its power station on
Sultan river.
