SEABORNS
FINISHING
3 VESSELS

Three wooden vessels OF the
Ferris type, built by the Seaborn
yards, are practically finished and
awaiting the government call be-
fore they go into active use. Those
which are finished are the Out
malt, Mojave and the Wahkiakum.
1t is expected they will be deliv-
cred to the government within two
weeks.
The Cheboulip, the first steel
ship to be launched at the Todd
yards, is nearing completion and
will be turned over about July I.
This boat was launched under the
name of Tacoma" but the name
was changed as there is already a
ship in the navy of that name.
1t is probable the vessel may be
armed and used as a cruiser.

SEATTLE. June 22.-Caught
with the goods!
Mayor Hanson showed up
Thursday the double game being
played by the Puget Sound, Trac-
ton, Light & Power Co.
Pleading poverty in Seattle to
get out of franchise obligations,
and boasting bullying profits in
New York to sell bonds, is the
game he showed the Stone-Web-
ster interests have been working.
The mayor issued the following
statement Thursday:
Must BE True.
Il am very much pleased to
note in the New York Times of
June 10 that the Puget Sound
Traction, Light e. Power company
Is making more money than ever
before in its history. The state
ment published as an advertise
ment in the New York Times must
be true, because it was for the
purpose of selling their notes, and
any misstatement of facts would
be a penitentiary offense.
In view of the fact that in the
month of March, 1918, this com
pany earned net, over and above
all charges, SIG, 900, and also in
view Of the fact that this is near
ly double the net earnings of
March, 1917, it does seem that
these kindly gentlemen would
hasten to the city hall and pay
their taxes, amounting to approx
imately $4,000. We feel that
the patriotism which so inspires
the opponents of our bond issue
will cause them to carry out their
obligations to the government un-
der which they live.
Earns Millions.
I'VE note in this paid advertise
ment that for the year ending
April 30, 1918, the gross earn
ings of the Puget Sound Traction.
Light & Power company were
$10,172,652 that its net earn
ings, less S6,306,622 for operat-
ing expenses and taxes, were 49,
S66, $50, and the annual interest
charges on the entire outstanding
fund to date, including the issue
now being offered of $12,250, 200
would be $2,192,950, leaving a net
earning OF $1,673,0S0.
I'm italics, this company claims
that the net earnings were over
one and three-quarters times the
annual interest charges on the en-
tire funded debt.
So while the company has been
pleading poverty and indigency in
Seattle, they have exploited their
earning power and wealth on Wall
street, and sold $12,500,0O0
worth of gold notes.
"InexCusable Waste"
These earnings are made in
spite of the fact of incompetency
in management, the expense for
substituting press agents, using
unnecessary advertisements, pay

Hearing so much about the
wonderful results being obtained

| 1t has given me such fine appe-
tite that l can eat anything 7
want and don't have any more of
that bloated feeling or sour SOM
ach, and l can take a good, deep
breath any time without the least
discomfort. That awful pain in
my back and the rheumatism that
/ suffered from are entirely gone.
/ sleep like log at night and get
up in the morning feeling rested
and refreshed. Tanlac has done
me so much good and have such
