Now thousands upon thousands
follow the great steeihead

trout travel on spawning runs

Tacoma built Its municipal
street railway primarily TO serve
the tideflats workers in the indus
tries which grew up ike mush-
rooms in the World war period.
The tracks extended from the loop
al 18th and A SITS east on 18th
ST. to Taylor way. south to Lincoln
ave, and north to the Todd ship
yards.
An enormous passenger traffic
was handled during the ship
building period, but much Of II
was handled free because of the
physical impossibility Of collecting
fares from the mass Of men who
swormed all over the top of the
cars, hung on by finger tips, and
daily took serious chances in order
to get to work or return home
At this time. the Port of Ia
coma property was served directly
by the Chicago. Milwaukee & st.
Paul railway This line was able
10 extend its tracks very easily to
the Port Of Tacoma property when
the Port piers were constructed,
and had an advantage over the
other railroads.
Charges Burdened Industry
The municipal street railway
provided freight service for the
Industries on Taylor Way and
Alexander ave. but all cars were
delivered through the Milwaukee
railway to the municipal railway
al Sitcum ave. For the switching
service Of the municipal r jlway a
fiat charge Of s. per was
charged, which was in &C lion TO
the charges of the railroads and
an extra burden on the fideflats
industries dependent on the mu-
nicipal railway for service. In the
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-02-08

course of time, IL seemed necessary
to remove this disadvantage TO en-
courage development of this area.
Then the Northern Pacific rail
way built the Lincoln ave. track
to serve the Buffelen Lumber &
Manufacturing Co. which was
bringing in a heavy train OF logs
daily from points reached by the
Northern Pacific and would have
been delivered via Milwaukee rail-
way and municipal railway at
heavy expense if the Lincoln ave
track had not been built. The
municipal railway delivered these
logs for the Northern Pacific and
also had direct connection at Lin
coin ave and Taylor way where
it interchanged all traffic with the
Northern Pacific
The Great Northern and Union
Pacific were dependent on the
Milwaukee or the Northern Pa
cific for service to the industries
on municipal railway tracks
This vas the situation when
Ernest Dodge. president Of Ernest
Dodge. Inc. became chairman Of
the traffic bureau Of Tacoma
Chamber Of Commerce in January.
1922 Under his direction s'n in
tensive study Of the problem was
inaugurated, belt lines In various
parts Of the country were studied
and visited In the effort to find
remedy. Meantime. il was sug-
gested that the municipal railway
lease its tracks to the Milwaukee
or 70 the Northern Pacific. but
tideflat industrialists wanted this
area served by all four railroads
on equal terms.
After years and months ~
discussions and conferences with
railroad officials. contracts were
negotiated BY the traffic bureau
for the city Of Tacoma with the
four railroads serving Tacoma
under which the Tacoma Municipal
Belt Line railway came into eXis-
tence on Nov -. 1924

The city or belt line railway
acts as agent for each Of the four
railroads and performs the ser
vice. but the railway collects the
charges and pays the belt line
railway each month. There Is no
charge against the industries for
this switching service on line haul
traffic. Thus the belt line indus
tries are. in effect. on the tracks
of all four railroads and the tide
flats area served BY the belt line
is the most attractive location for
industries In the city.

From a strictly business angle
the outdoors life represents q major
industry, for people seeking diver
sion and relaxation in the distant
open spaces become generous
spenders.
In the last decade, winter
sports have vaulted 60 great
heights. vet have not begun TO
reach the peak.
Where a mere handful. 50 10
speak, found pleasure in skiing 10
years ago. thousands now follow
the sport of the hickory slaves.
From the heart of Tacoma one
can drive to Paradise Valley in an
hour and a half II was Paradise
Valley that pioneered this boom
ing ski market.
And after one reaches Paradise
there is every comfort and accom-
mediation of home available.
Every Form of Terrain
Paradise Valley provides every
form of skiing terrain steep
and lengthy runs for downhill or
slalom thrills, countless miles of
varied terrain for cross-country
hikes.
This. too, amid matchless
scenery. Visitors Of world
travel. ski experts from Eu-
ropes outstanding winter lands
have openly expressed amaze
ment and approval of this
Paradise country.
Mile upon mile in every direction
the snow-covered territory beckons
to the skier
on the other side of Mount Ia
coma there is the Cayuse country
and Sunrise park. where even the
most fastidious skier can find his
pleasure.
And Cayuse pass, too, is but
short drive from Tacoma.
Snoqualmie. Baker, Hyak and
various other ski sections are
equally accessible from Tacoma.
All offer that which sends skiers
into the full JOY of their sport.
Trout Fishing Appeals
Anglers are not compelled to re-
main inactive during the winter.
Steelhead trout fishing has be-
come one of the major outdoor
winter sports, and within the last
20 years. Like skiing, only a few
followed this arduous but thrilling
sport. But as their successful
stories passed from mouth to
mouth and their displays drew
wide attention anglers at heart
took up the sport.

Presidential Succession Act Does Not
Provide for Hours u. S. Has No Chief

There is no provision of law with
specific application to the interven-
ing hours between the expiration
of the Presidents term and the time
his successor takes the oath of Of
fee, notes a writer in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The Presidential Sue
ceSsion act has application only to
the removal, death, resignation or
inability of both the President and
vice president.
In letter dated February 20,
1921, by Chief Justice John Marshall
to an inquirer on the subject of who
is President from midnight when
the term expires to the hour when
the President-elect takes the oath of
office, said:
Il have conversed with my breth-
rem on the subject you suggested
when l had the pleasure of seeing
you, and will now take the liberty to
communicate the result.
'As the Constitution only provides
that the President shall take the
oath it prescribes before he enter
on the execution of his office and,
as the law is silent on the subject,
the time seems to be in some meas
ure at the discretion of that high
officer. There is an obvious pro-
priety in taking the oath as soon as
it can conveniently be taken.
But some interval is inevitable.

Useless by Itself
A pen is mightier than the
sword, but it needs two aids:
brains and ink.
History repeats itself, par
ticularly the worst history.
Pope said, MAN is the glory,

If the mind could reject poison
as the stomach frequently does.
When you see man doing his

will expire, and that of the Presi-
dent-elect commence at II in the
night of the third of March. 1t
has been usual to take the oath at
midday on the fourth.
THUS there has been uniformly
and voluntarily an interval of II
hours during which the executive
power could not be exercised. This
interval may be unavoidably pro-
longed. Circumstances may prevent
the declaration of the person who is
chosen until it shall be too late to
communicate the intelligence of his
election until after the fourth of
March. This occurred at the first
election.
Undoubtedly, on any pressing
emergency the President might take
the oath in the first hour Of the
fourth of March, but it has never
been thought necessary so to do,
and he has always named such hour
as he deemed most convenient.
IF any circumstance should rem
der it unfit to take the oath on the
fourth of March, and the public bust
ness would sustain no injury by its
being deferred till the fifth, no i'm
propriety is perceived in deferring
