Will Fall in Line.

The Chinook Observer:
Great work is being done
work that promises a success
full elimination - towards
having the grand old watch
tower over the twin cities of
Puget Sound, Mount Tacoma,
officially known by its In
dian name. Seattle
will surely fall in line, espe-
cially II the name be given
the Indian spelling"
The Salem, Ore, Journal,
In a big-type double-column
editorial, recites something
of the history of the bitter
ness that grew out of the Sc
lection of Tacoma as the
terminus of the N. p. r. R.
and says:
1.-The fact that Mt. Rain
Ter has so long retained that
name instead of being given
the title Tacoma is due en-
tirely to the Northern Pa
cific misunderstanding that
the opposition to the change
grew out Of opposition to the
railroad by cities that felt
themselves aggrieved by its
choice.
Anacortes American: BELL
ingham has also taken up the
idea with campaign to
change the name of Mt. Bak-
er to It's aboriginal title of
Kulshan, the members of the
Mt. Baker club declaring in
favor of restoring the old
name. Bellingham, unlike
Tacoma, has no local opposi-
tion."

sentiment recently expressed
in favor Of this proposal.
individuals whose opinions
weigh heavily, including
Judge Ronald and Mayor
Gill of Seattle, social organ
izations without number in
the state, and newspapers,
publicists and correspondents
throughout the country have
shown an interest in this
movement that is little short
of amazing, but to even in
dictate it specifically is impos-
sible here.

been honoring an English
man who fought against us
In the English navy when we
were for our independence"
The Spokane Chronicle
also discusses the subject
alphabetically under a two
column head.
The Colfax Gazette (Oct.
I'D speaking of the proposed
submission Of the matter to
the geographic board, says:
1.-THE matter of the name
has provoked q great deal of
hard feeling between the peo-
pie of the two cities, but 1t
seems now there is a fair
way to settle the name once
and for all. That
seems the best solution of
the whole matter"
The Colfax Commoner
says: Tacoma is out with
a proposition to submit the
question to the geographic
board at Washington, agree
ing to accept any aboriginal
name that name-giving body
may choose.
Seattle Is Willing.
Seattle, through It's news
papers-all of them-and
many of its public men
through published letters
has signified a willingness.
" 1t begins to look as
though the old controversy
might be settled at last and
the state at large be given a
rest on this time-worn topic"
The Yakima Republic says:
ut is contended-as indeed
1t has been for years-that
the name Rainier was given
this magnificent peak by the
Englishman Vancouver, COM
memorating a friend of his,
Peter Rainier, but that the
aborigines had many years
before given the mountain
much more suitable Names"
The South Bend Journal
says: 1.-THE beautiful noun
tain should never have been
named anything but its orig
inal Indian name Of Tacoma.
Rainier was an Englishman
and he fought to deprive this
country of its liberty.
"Old time sectional jeal-
ousy between Seattle and Ia
coma caused the name Rain
Ter to be applied to the noun
tain but that feeling has died
down, we trust, enough to
permit the original name to
be restored"

A Common Sense Plan.

The Walla Walla Bulletin
under the heading "A Com
mon Sense Plan" says (Oct.
23), Tacoma is proposing to
Seattle and the rest of the
state that the geographic
board of the u. s. be asked
to rename the mountain. 1t
is a common sense plan.
Rainier is the name of a
rather inconspicuous British
officer. There Ia no
reason why his name should
be perpetuated, by one of the
nations most beautiful
peaks.
"If Tacoma is willing to
drop her claim, surely Seat
tie ought to be willing to do
as much. An old Indian
name of real significance
would be much more appro-
pirate and it would be to the
dignity and credit of both
cities If they can agree upon
the action"
The Walla Walla Union
quotes the editorial of the
Portland Journal, adding: at
Is thought very likely the
next legislature will take
action such as will bring to
an end a controversy that
has embarrassed us all too
long"
Under a three-column head
the Spokesman-Review (Spo-
kane), of Nov. 2, views the
whole history of the contro-
versy with a picture of the
mountain) is which It says:
Honoring u. s. Enemy.
THE Western Washington
cities have both been subject
ed to considerable ridicule in
recent news on account of
their rival claims to the
mountain and their persist
ence in sticking to two diff
ferent names has resulted in
the complete mystification of
visitors to the Northwest
who failed to understand the
situation"

folks, did you know that all
these long years, We have

one given it by the red men,

The Snohomish Tribune,
in an editorial set double col
umn, speaks enthusiastically
of the campaign to get rid of
the name Rainier, bespeaking
success for it.

Seattle Star booster.
The Seattle Star dec. 6,
1870 runs a four-column
front page heading crying:
LET Tacoma Name the
Mountain" and follows in
big black type with, Lets
end the quarrel; here's a fine
big opportunity for Seattle to
do a fine big, broad-minded
thing-a thing that the whole
state and the whole country
would applaud"

7, 1879 proposed the sub

AS THOU WILT


If in the sheltering circle of my arms
No little child of mine shall ever
rest
Nor I may feel the touch that thrills
and charms.
OF helpless, searching lips against
breast.
Yet for the sake of that beloved child
OF whom my dream is ever, night
and day,
Teach me the mother spirit, tender,
mild
That from 40 childish need can turn
away
And if the love that had held so sure
Grow dim and distant till it vanish
quite,
Grant me the changless love that shall
endure.
Strong and sufficient for earth's
darkest night.
Take from my heart all bitterness and
pain
Until these futile, selfish striyings
cease;
Use Thou the life that I should but
spend in vain
And in the joy of service grant me
peace.
-Ethelwyn Dithridge in Los
Angeles Times.

FISH AND GAME LAWS

Non-residents may ship or carry

tached to fishing licenses. Such 20
pounds lots cannot be shipped or car
ried Oftener than once in days. Such
20 pounds cannot contain more then
the daily bag limit of any one variety
nor any fish of less than the minimum
size provided by law. NOn-residents
are not entitled to carry or ship so
pounds of game fish when accompani-
ed, the nonresident limit is 20 pounds,
(NOte-FOr some reason there seems
to be misunderstanding that the 20
pounds may contain any size or any
number of fish, as long as the ship
ment does not exceed 20 pounds This
is wrong, the shipment is restricted to
20 pounds and the 20 pounds is further
restricted to contain no undersize fish
and no fish in excess Of the daily bag
limit i. e. not more than 10 bass, 10
pike, 2 muskie, Is pickerel, etc, etc.
Two fish OF any weight may be ship
ped in lieu of the 20 pounds but the
two fish must, Of course, be Of legal
size)
Residents are restricted the same
as nOn-residents, but a resident may
ship so pounds of game fish when per-
sonally accompanied The so pounds
are restricted to contain no FISH in
excess Of the daily bag limit nor any
undersize fish.
