In Seattle, Mr.. Aston is considered
an expert on laying out and plan

have gone as far as we have author

to have the other fellow name his

and come TO an agreement. Aston

Grafton Committee nevertheless
continued its investigations and
has reported progress in detail at
every convention since 1914. The
report for this year analyzes the
effect peace will have on the i'm
port trade of the United States and
emphasizes the probability that the
American worners will be faced
with a sharper competition than
ever before from the workers Of
Europe due to the fact that the
United states must buy more heav-
lily in the future than in the past
of the nations that became its large
debtors during the war.

Wednesdays Meeting

Wednesday morning at 10:30 all
seats in the Commission Council
Chamber were filled by members of
the Joint Committee and interested
spectators.
The Mayor asked the object of
the meeting, and r. j. Faussett,
spokesman for the three first
named Committees, said it was to
demand that Port Engineer Tag
CART Aston be appointed to set a
value upon the City Dock and the
buildings thereon. James +. Bell,
for the commercial Club members,
said that during his incumbency of
the office of Mayor the necessity of
municipal owenrship of a free dock
was discussed, favored by himself,
and that finally the dock was pur-
chased for $17, 500. He left the
city for a time and when he re-
turned all he found of the original
dock was the dock site. He said
the city needed a dock then where
any kind of a boat could tie up.
and needed it now. His impression
of the discussion of the question in
the Commercial Club, whom he
with other committeeman, repre-
sented, was that the Club favored
the taking over of the dock and
saw immediate need of it to provide
a landing place for ferry connect
ing Snohomish and Island Coun-
ties, which Mr.. Nierhoff promised
would be ready to commence busi-
ness about July |.
Judge Shelter, of the Committee,
said that he had not given the at
tention to the dock question he
should and was not in possession of
sufficient information to discuss
the matter as he would like. He
favored taking over the dock.
Commissioner Clay said there
was a legal question in this sub
ject. That if the city took over the
dock could it pay cash down the
money required by the appraise-
ment if the tenant refused to give
- -, Tho
The Mayor reiterated his state
ment that he mad employed a man
to check up the value of the prop
erty, the data so obtained to be Civ
en- to the appraisers for their guild
ance. That he was making and
had made progress looking to the
consummation of the deal. He
showed by his remarks that he did
not want to be dictated to as to
whom he would appoint as an ap-
rraiser, and. though not saying so
in so many words. showed plainly
that he did not want to appoint
Aston.
Captain Ramwell made a coarse
personal attack on r. ] Faussett,
denying the latter's authority TO
act as spokesman for the Commit
tee which had selected him for that
job. Ramwell denied the truth of
the statements made by Mr.. Sny-
der, of the Municipal Market. and
might as well have said that Sny-
der lied. He said that Snyder
could find a place 20 land his fish

ing insinuations at the Freeholders'

profits on the citys property for
which he pays a ridiculously low
rental has made the doughty Cap
tain real mad.

LIFE RESEMBLES MAGIC VASE
Each of Us May Confidently Rely on Getting Out of 1t Just What
 We Put Tn.

An eastern legend tells of won- derful magic vase-known as the vase of life-which was ever full of mys- terious liquid. No one could tell what this liquid was. No chemist could ana lyze it or tell what entered into its composition. The marvellous thing about it was that whatever one dropped into 1t would overflow and run down the sides of the vase. That Is, the original liquid would not run over, but the thing which was dropped into it would overflow in kind and amount. The depOsitOr would always get out of this magic vase exactly what he put into it.
 Life Is just such 8 magic vase. It will run over to you only that which you drop into it-nothing more, nOth- ing less, nothing different. If we drop in love, generosity, tolerance, mag nanimity, kindness, helpfulness, un- selfishness-the life vase will run over to us the same things in the same amount and quality. If, on the other hand, we put in hate, jealousy, envy, cruelty, selfishness, grasping, greed, malicious gossip about our neighbors it will run over with all of these black devils to torment us and rob us of happiness and success.-O. s. Mar den in New Success.

Statesmen Robbed Russia.

The congress of Berlin, consisting of Germany, Austria, France, England, Italy, Russia and Turkey, lasted only one month-from June 13 to July 13, 1878. Russia did not have "a look-in," but was treated in the most arbitrary manner by Bismarck and Beaconsfeld.
 The peace of San Stefano, although formally concluded between the victO- rious Russians and the conquered Turks, was torn up and Russia was practically robbed of all her success given only Bessarabia, taken from Roumania, and the rocky citadel of Kars in Asia Minor. Nations that had not participated in the humbling of Turkey were liberally treated. Bull garia, north of the Balkans; Serbia, Montenegro, Roumania were declared independent. Not single reform" promised by the sublime porte was carried into effect.
 The congress of Berlin was nothing but a personal triumph for Beacons- field and Bismarck and has been the direct cause of at least five subse- Quent wars.

First Middle West Railroad.

The first railroad in the Middle West was built in Michigan and ran between Detroit and Pontiac. The first section, extending as far as Royal Oak, was opened in 1839 and in 1889 1t extended as far as Birmingham. It was not until 1843, however, that the Pontiac end of the line was completed. The first passenger coaches were divided into three rooms, benches being run length wise and passengers entering through doors 'in the center of the side. The rails were of strap or bar iron, spiked to wooden cross ties, but were so fn- effective that they frequently broke, turned up and entered the cars, oc- casiOnally causing serious accidents. For this reason it was customary to sheath the bottoms of the cars with iron as special protection.

Out of the Mouths of Babes.

The trouble was caused by fathers chickens and his habit of calling them "chicks" for short. At least Bobby thinks it was. He and mother were on the car when one of mothers friends entered. She wore a new hat which was adorned with a beautiful green feather. Bobby was eyeing the feath- CT when he heard mother say to the woman, "You're 50 chic, you know"
 So he drew his own differences and acted accordingly when the cross next yellow furs, came to call. He looked at the furs on the woman and then at his mother. Then
 "Now, you can call her a cat, moth- er," he informed her.
