ASHTON
GIVES in
ON PLAT

James NJ. Ashton, after a con-
ference with the county commits
sioners and other tideflats own
Iers, at the tideflats replat hearing
Thursday morning, agreed to give
two 400-foot waterways, in ex-
change for the replat and vacation
of existing streets through his
property.
The two waterways will be the
Wapato creek and one at Sitkum
avenue.
The principal argument was
over the waterways. The small
property owners asked for two so
their land behind that of the Ash
ton interests would not be shut
off from the bay.
Commissioner O'Farrell de-
manded of the gene-al that he
must give the county as much land
as he was receiving.
Ashton proposed that instead of
the 400-foot waterways, on Sit
KUN avenue, the city should give
100 feet and the Milwaukee should
give 100 feet. Lawler, spokes-
man for the other property own
ers, claimed that this would not
be fair.

80 Years of Joab In Tacoma;
"reminiscences

When Albert Joab met his
Waterloo Monday night before the
sturdy S1-year-old fist of Dad
Simpson, 1t recalled to old timers
some of the other high lights in the
career of the colonel" since ne
came to Tacoma some 30-odd years
ago.
With bushes 1t is discovered
that Joab began his climb to social
distinction as newspaper re-
porter!
Fresh from Yale, he was, versed
In all the arts and letters.
He GOULD quote Shakespeare by
the yard.
Joab was Joabed the first crack
out of the box.
At dinner with some of his
boon companions upstairs in the
once famous Chilberg restaurant
on Pacific avenue, where the Tour
list hotel now stands, Joab thought
1t would be great joke to call
up the police and tell them that
one of his friends was drunk and
|disorderly, 1t is recorded.
The police sent out the hurry-up
wagon on rush orders.
When they found who had called
them up, they pinched Joab instead
of the friend, and hurried him off
to the city coop where they locked
him up.
But Joab's real claim to fame
came a little later on, in the sum-
mer of 1895, when he announced
one fine Monday morning that on
the Sunday afternoon preceding,
while stretching his limbs under a
tree on an island in American lake,
he saw a monster cougar coming
down an old dead tree on spiral
trail, lashing his tail and making
loud noises.
Joab at the time was out on a
little trip with Attorney J. l.. Nc
Murray and two fair ladies. He
had Just finished his lunch and was
gazing languidly up at the broad
sky when his,eyes were held SPELL
bound by the terrible sight.
He called to his friends who
were out in a row boat on the lake,
but when they arrived on the
scene the cougar had disappeared.
{ Well, on the Monday afternoon
after Joab had made the startling
announcement to the Tacoma pub
lie, Joab and McMurray and a
number OF court house employees,
with John d. Fletcher and Joe
yesterday, armed themselves with
guns an axes and went out to the
lake to beard the cougar In his
lair.
They cut down the dead tree, to

CHICAGO, May 17-Wheat con-

nine cents under yesterdays close
at 1921 and half an hour later

Der was down seven at 81 and
later went to $1.99.
The food gambler was on
the run today and the food
hoarder was tout of luck"
Flour prices were on the
decline, together with va
rious other foodstuffs and
families that had stored away
huge quantities of provisions
in fear of a famine" faced
the prospect of eating maxi
mum priced food for the next
several months, while their
neighbors enjoyed cheaper
commodities.
Flour, which scared to $3.50,
wholesale, only two days ago, had
dropped to SIC. One or two To-
cal millers, 1t was reported today,
had even offered best grades as
low as $3.50. Butter and eggs
were off slightly.
Dealers in all commodities said
today that the outlook for lower
prices was more optimistic than in
months, while Mr.. Ultimate Con-
sumner began to lose a little OF
that worried look.
Various reasons were assigned
for the marked decline in wheat
prices, with the resultant drop in
flour. The trade said it was
due to the farmers "loosening up
on their wheat holdings; the man
in the street had an idea that the
eurbing of speculation had some
thing to do with it; while persons
IN close touch with official affairs
limited that fear of federal prose-
cution might have influenced
traders.

lowing pome;
"Oh, monster big cougar sat up

Singing Joab, Joab, dear Joab;
And he combed out his whiskers
and purred in his glee,
Singing Joab, dear Joab, dear
Joab.
Now those folks From Tacoma

all the cougar hunters to go to

Fletcher and Joe yesterday behind
on the mainland to lake care of the
luncheon which the two young
women had thoughtfully prepared.
On their return, much disguised
at their catch, they found the two
lawyers uncomfortably large
around the waist. The lunch was
gone.
Fletcher and yesterday explain
led that while they were waiting
two other hungry young women
had passed by on bicycles and had
stopped at the boathouse. AS thew
were all hungry they made away
with the lunch.
I'VE hear SO much about
Colonel Joab. Who is he? A
colonel of what? The Salvation
Army writes AN inquqisitive
reader"
The answer is, kind reader, that
Joab really was once a colonel,
though there is no record that he
ever commanded anything except
an extensive vocabulary.
There was time In the history
of the state when a man could get
an officers job ON the governors
staff by putting up the cash for the
expensive, glittering uniform.
All the reports go to show that
Joab forked up for the uniform
and became soldier on the staff
of Gov. Squire, or Gov. Ferris, or
both, 1t is not quite certain. He
had a great old time travelling
about the state with the COVER
nor's party.

in which Col. Joab figured,

coma Blue Book experience
