MISS SOONER SEEN 7
 IN EMOTIONAL ROLE

Cecil 6pooner's players in "A But terhy on the Wheel" gave the first nighters at the Park last night an abdlnldance of thrills.
 Miss Spooner as the wronged wife essayed q role calling, for much emo tional effort The part is devoid of the 'hoydenish atmosphere in which Miss Epooner has scored numerous hits here On the contrary it calls for heavy dramatic effort. The casual theatre goer who may have associated Miss Spooner with lighter roles and who had the opportunity of seeing her last evening saw that her versatility is great.
 In the second act, the stirring court room scene which features the. play, she rose to unusual dramatic heights, Outbursts of spontaneous applause re- fected the general appreciation of her efforts. A large company especially augmented for the court room scene gave her able support.

 CORNER FOB CUOkS 
SHAD

The primary reason for the scarcity of shad is a perhaps not inexcusable lack of knowledge on the part of the legislators of this state concerning fish facts. And the logically sequen. ,tial fact of lack of sane and essential { protective legislation. Give us ade- quate laws based on common sense conservation principles and we will show you shad in surprising, quanti- ties. Each year the product of the shad fisheries is smaller. Something must be done to arrest the steady deple- ton of these fish, which has already eliminated them as an article or pop ular diet and in the very near future threatens to reach the point of total Eextermination.

COMPARE SAN FRANCISCO AND
SEATTLE

For years we have looked upon San Fran
cisco with wonder and envy with its 40 great
public piers. public ownership OF the entire
waterfront and belt line raiway-public prop
crty with an annual revenue OF Sl.500oOo.
Deduct from that sum $4,000 rental earned
by the ferry building, which is San Fran
cisco's union depot 10000 earned by the
belt line railroad; the dockage revenue from
ships which come into Seattle harbor free ot
such charge and the remainder IS $4,000
OF wharfage and storage charges.
Now compare the Seattle Port Commission:
In 1915. the earnings were Sal 900. and last
year. 1910, the terminals operated earned
earned $4,000 In 1915. the average earn
ings paid little more than 20 per cent OF the
interest and redemption; in 1910. they paid
more than ~ per cent.
Smiths Cove Terminal is finished. and last
year paid the operating expenses, interest and
redemption bonds.
Bell Street Terminal made fair showing
as the Seattle Terminal OF the Government
Railroad in Alaska.
HOMER HILL CAUSES $4,000 LOSS
Stacy Street earned half the interest, and
Hanford Street made a splendid showing.
The Spokane Street Terminal was not com
plcted last year-thanks to the injunction suit
brought by Mr. Homer Hill on behalf of the
private interests which he cloakcdl The bonds
had been sold, the contracts let; and the in
tercst lost to taxpayers by these obstructive
and destructive tactics amounted to over
$4,000 Furthermore, it delayed the great
cold storage plant for Northwest apples,
potatoes and fish, so that the crop and catch
OF 1916 could not be accommodated.
The Salmon Bay Terminal was handicap
ped by the Governments delay in the COM
pletion OF the ship canal
The Ports showing OF 100000 annual
revenue is therefore made with four termin-
ais
The newspapers criticize the Port Com
mission for again submitting the question OF
immediate construction OF the Public Belt
Line or marginal harbor railway. The Belt
Line has always carried. The Belt Line has
always received majority OF the votes cast
A year ago $4,000 people asked for it, while
only 24.0OO opposed. The Belt Line carried
with majority greater than that which
elected HI Gill as mayor. The papers never
tell you that The Port Commission repre-
SCENTS the majority Of the voters and not
minority.
