TACOMA PLANNING
 GOODWILL TOUR TO
 ALASKA NEXT YEAR

A Good Will Tour to Alaska by a small picked group of Tacoma business men has been approved by the Chambers Alaska Develop ment Committee. according to c. c. Garland, Chairman. To save time and permit calling on the largest possible number of communities an airplane tour has been suggested. The sole purpose would be to pro- mote friendly relations with Alaska citizens and ascertain how Tacoma can best aid in the development of the Territory. Probably the tour can not be made until early next summer, but present indica- tions are that the trip will be made.

Of 126 pounds in the saddle.
If this report is authentic, then
Count Rae, regardless of the fact

considered in the coming classic.
In the past week the odds on
the colt have dropped from So

fact that a large commission by

He has kept the trials of the

Count Rae, as a two-year-old,
failed to win a race, but in prac-

that he needed plenty of ground.

PARIS, May pa definite swing
toward at least partial payment of
Frances $55,000,000 June Is war
debt installment to the United
States was shown today.
A stormy debate was expected
when the cabinet considers the debt
payment sometime during the next
week and the outcome was uncer-
tain. But a poll of influential cab
met ministers showed that support
for some sort of payment, # any
way could be found to avoid fur
nishing a precedent for full pay
ment, was growing.
Premier CASTOR Doumergue, Louis
Germain-Martin, minister Of fin
ance; Francois Pietri, minister OF
navy, and Louis Barthou, foreign
minister, are in favor of some sort
of payment, it was learned.
They have joined Edouard Her.

of the dominant radical Socialist

HORTON TAKES
OVER DISTRICT
LEGAL WORK

Transfer to Harry w. Horton,
irrigation district counsel of cer-
tain files relating to cases in
which the district is still concern
ed was approved at a meeting of
the board of directors this morn
ing. These files had been pre-
pared by Charles L. Childers. for
mer counsel for the district.
A discussion was held by the
board relative to the status of cer-
tain cases against the district in
which Horton is attorney of rec
ord for bringing these actions. Hor-
ton was asked whether he would
defend the district Or his clients
in these cases. In his answer he
appeared to give the impression
that he would appear for the plain
tiffs saying that he could not de-
fend the district.
He was called away at that mo-
ment to answer a telephone call
and Directors Rose and Young in
talking the matter over were of the
opinion that such could not be done
as Horton could not appear against
the district while on the districts
payroll.
Upon his return the question was
again put directly to him and Hor-
ton explained that while he could
not defend these actions for the
district he would have to drop out
of them altogether, seeing how
ever, that his clients of record
would obtain satisfactory repre-
sentation in the matter. This
would be necessary, he explained,
as he had been the attorney to in
stitute the cases and for that reas-
on could not drop them complete
ly without first taking this action.
Routine business matters and ap-
proval of district warrants formed
the chief matters occupying the
attention of the board during the
morning session and adjournment
was voted at noon until 130 o'clock
this afternoon.
