If the Tribune has been drawn into
writing about the park conditions 1t has
itself to blame when it repudiated our
statements as to the loose state of al
fairs down there. Since it has no infOr-
nation according to its own admission,
it would have been better to leave the
matter to those who have. That the
police has no information is positively
not so for VIZ are aware that reports have
been made to them in specific cases Of
the violation of the decency of these
grounds at the same time that it was
going on. We did not desire to set up
any opposition to the Tribune's campaign
if it purports to start one to add beauty
to the grounds. Indeed, WhehW we warn
ed anyone against mourning any eX-
pense in this connection until the ne
cessary protection is guaranteed we were
rather cooperating in spirit with the
idea of improvement and lasting improve
ment at that. The Tribune claimed that
it was not aware Of The conditions we
depicted, and yet shortly afterwards it
declared that foul language which was
among the violations of order cited was
to be heard everywhere except in the
church which amounts to saying that it

ness in evidence otherwise for no gentle
man goes about the street, on ships, in

there are people III the park or the IUWdoWn
kind who cannot appreciate decent Ian

class. Therefore, we maintain that it is
logic to take steps TO safeguard the re

True Spirit of IA
Memorial Day siIs|
f. 5t - 5 ;;szz!= :

Memorial day, which was originally
dedicated to the memory of the SOL
ders of the Union army in the Civil
war, without whose services and sac
riiice we should, rs far rs one can see,
have had no Union, has broadened
out. In truth it is not a war, but
peace day, and ought to be so regard
ed. For 1t testities TO the spiritual,
as well as the material gains won for
us by the brave men who had laid
down their lives for the nation While
for many years the day has been OBJ
served rather as Il holiday than
holy day-the present customs being
nothing new except perhaps as they
have been Observation-Disclosures have al
ways been large numbers of our peo-
pie, as there are today, who keep the
day, in thought MT least, as there are
still those who tittingly observe it.
1t is not likely that the people will
ever forget what they owe to the
brave men who fought their wars. The
important thing is that they should
capture something of the spirit that
animated them, and show the same
devotion to the country. the same re-
gard for its honor and welfare. We
need an army of peace. need it sorey,
composed of men and women who will
count nothing dear ii only they may
do something to Make righteousness
prevail in our national llfe-rlghtcous-
ness and true freedom
The suggestion has been made that
Memorial day be observed on the last
Sunday in May. Thus ii would be
possible TO emphasize the religious sig.
niflcance of the day. We only suggest
that. if this is done, the day following
be retained us n holiday. It has been
for so Ions observed rs such that 1t
would be a pity to deprive the people
of 1t. But whatever is or is not done
in this way, our people should endeav-
or to draw some Inspiration from the
sacrifices that others have made. and
vow that country which has cost so
much in blood shall he kept clean and
true.-Indlanapolis News.

COVE COMMENTS
(By c. A. Renoufj
$50. s*sss sss &s4

Let us take a look at Vashon
and the Puget Sound Region.
While | do not pretend to be an
expert, YET some of the superb
cial geological evidence is written
very plainly,
During the last ice age, all this
part Of the country was covered
with ice the same as Greenland is
at present and the great glaciers
moved down from the Cascade,
and the 0lympics to the sea bear
ing vast quantities of boulders,
gravel, sand and mud.
If you have seen the terminal of
any glacier, you may have noticed
how it will spew out mud in one
place, sand in another and gravel
in third place with heaps of
rounded stones and boulders to
build up the terminal moraine.
This is what we fiud on Vashon,
and you will find all these on even
ten acre ranch. What we call
hard pan is the solidified mud III
the process of turning into rock.
But before all this happened
there had been IA time when the
climate was tropical literally a
streaming hot house when the
rank vegetation formed the coal
deposits in what is known as the
carboniferous era.
The east and west pass were
either gouged out by immensive
glaciers or were caused by the ele-
walton OF the Cascades and 0lym-
pies and election of vast quanti-
ties of material by Mount Rainier
or combination of all these
causes.
East of the Cascades the soil is
mostly volcanic ash, while there is
none on this west side no doubt
the prevailing winds carried the
bulk of this ash to the eastward.
Ii the eruptions occurred before
the Ice age, what ever ash fell, this
side is buried deep. If the erup-
tons occurred during the ice age
1t was carried off by the ice.
1t not happened since the ice
age because there is no evidence
OF volcanic ash on or near the sur
face in this locality.
Drifting down the Yukon river
in the spring of 1900 | noticed a
well defined deposit of volcanic
ash from six inches to one foot
deep at about one to two feet UNI
der the surface this continued
down to Selkirks where the Sci
by river joins the Yukon at right
angles and here there was great
deposit of lava that had flowed
down from some volcano and fill
ed up the angle with cliffs of vol
canic rock which had solidified as
as it met the water of both rivers.
From thence down to Dawson the
formation is volcanic giving the
effect of old castles and fortreSses
very picturesque scenic trim. But
consider the eternity of time it
has taken to accomplish all this in
the slow grinding processes of ma
ture.
