"There are more things in Heaven

"Than have been dreamt Of in
your philosophy"
Shakespeare said 1t $50 years
ago, and yet this morning when
one of the things that are not
dreamt of in the average philos-
ophy happened to me, was rs
startled as IL no human being had
never had the experience before.
When l came to Tacoma, about
a year and a half ago. l met, at
a friends house, several news
paper women. One of them was
Mrs. George w. Cain, a writer on
a Tacoma afternoon paper.

I have been trying this morn

four in all, and except on the first
occasion, the meeting was always
of the most casual kind.
The last time, am pretty sure,
was when the women Of the Gold
en- Special" spoke in Tacoma in
the Hughes presidential campaign.
She was in the balcony of the
Elks' hall and l was on the floor,
and l can't remember whether we
came near enough to speak to each
other that evening.

Cain had other interests besides

the dirigible's crew of more than

An American officer, journeying
to the Sammies' camp from a dis

person to arrive on the scene.
The American officer, who was

airman.
The birdman took to the air an
hour and three-quarters previous

Added evidence of Tacoma's
growth and increased business was
provided Tuesday in statements
by Manager Bean of the T. r. & P.
. Co. and Commissioner Gronen of
the light and water department.
Manager Bean reported that
traffic on city street cars had al
ready increased 20 per cent over
last years average, and is con-
tinually on the increase.
His company has purchased 80
new cars to relieve the congcs-
ton, IS of which will be ready for
service on the Sixth ave. line with
In four weeks.
Because of the rush of business,
the company has leased six large
yellow cars from the Bellingham
railway and has already put them
in service. Interurban business,
-altho increased greatly over past
years, has not yet come up to its
record of 1909, Bean said.

AS YOU MAY

Every editor is skeptical person. He has to
be if he is not to be made ridiculous about 20
times day.
Especially is he doubling Thomas concerning
stories that ever and anon come to his desk con-
corning psychic phenomena.
AND YET What is to be said of such an ex-
perience as Miss Abbott here sets down?
On the face Of it plain, convincing testimony
that the soul Of one newspaper woman leaving
it's earthly abode was calling thru the spaces to
the soul of another.
Or is it merely coincidence? Merely delusion?
Merely-well, read it for yourself and label it as

NEW NASH CAR IS
COMING THIS MONTH

Formal announcement of the new
Nash car will be made September Is.
While recent developments at Ken
osha have indicated that the new
Nash car was practically ready for the
market, not until last weeks an
nouncement was any official assur-
ance given by the Nash Motors com
pany that new Nash car was on it's
way. No public announcement as yet
has been made as to the type, price
or specifications of this new car, but
it is known fact that the new car
is strictly Nash product from the
ground up and will be made $3.50
complete within the walls of the great
factory at Kenosha.
1t is also a known fact that the
type of motor that is being manufac-
tured for this new model represents
step forward in motor construction.
| Those who have been fortunate
enough to secure inside information
state that the engine is remarkable
! for it's simplicity of construction !;
while it represents standard type of
motor now in general use rather than
anything radical, yet it is enough diff
ton.
The production in the mammouth
plant is being pushed in order to fin
ish up a quantity of these new cars so
that they will be in the hands of the
big motor car merchants distributing
the Nash product in September.
The new car was unveiled before
the organization of Nash distributors
at the factory in July 1t was re-
ceived with the immediate approval
of this new distributing organization
which was gathered around the Nash
Motors company by General Sales
Manager G. B. Voorhis in record time.
The fact alone that the new car
even surpassed the expectations of
what this distributing organization
believed the Nash Motors company
would be able to produce, practically
assures the immediate acceptance by
the public of the value represented in
this car.
Although these distributors so far
have not been able to have a new car
on hand to show to prospective deal
ers, they nevertheless have gathered
around them large group of the
best automobile dealers in the coun-
confidence the trade places in the flu
ture of the Nash Motors company
and their products.

Timber Is Sold.

ALBUQUERQUE application
for the purchase of 235,OOO,OOO feet of
western yellow pine located on the
Sitgreaves national forest in Eastern
Arizona, has been received and ap-
proved by the forest service. The
prospective purchasers have also ap-
piled for approximately 400,000,000
feet of adjoining timber on the White
Mountain Indian reservation. Condi-
tions are such, it is stated, that both
sales can be operated by one concern
Because of the large investment re-
quired to log either chance it is ex-
pected that the two bodies of timber
will be sold to one purchaser.
The officials of the forest service
point out the fact that the operation
of the timber will necessitate the con-
struction of about 70 miles of common
carrier, standard gauge railroad,
which probably will be built south
from Holbrook, Arizona, or some near
by point on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad. The new railroad
will, it is stated, traverse a section
which is as yet largely undeveloped.
1t is at present for the most part
given over to stock raising, but con-
tains considerable amount of agri-
cultural land. 1t is expected that the
construction of the railroad will give
an impetus to agricultural develop
ment and will materially aid in the
upbuilding of the country. In this
way, it is pointed out, the sale of the
government timber is of Importance
to the sections in which the forests
are located, aside from the revenue
which is returned to the federal treas
ury, and to the state for schools and
roads, in lieu of taxation.
The probable location of the mill
will be just south of the Sitgreaves
national forest on the Indian reser-
walton.
