feeling for many years between
the cities of Seattle and Tacoma
In dispute which had merit on
both sides
Yet only lucky chance gave
Vancouver a chance To leave his
mark In Washington
You will remember that In 1890.
England and Spain almost came
10 blows over the Nootka contro-
yersy. the question being whether
England or Spain should own the

ton. Vancouver was 10 have been
a subordinate on the expedition.
But because OF the war scare.
Roberts Was transferred 10 bat
tleship and Vancouver got the job
as chief Of the exploring party.
Vancouver acted as British com
missioner in settling the Nootka
controversy and awarded the
Northwest TO England
Then he sailed all through Puget
Sound naming places after his
British friends. For instance.
The third lieutenant. Joe Baker.
young man aboard Vanc0uyers
ship, happened to look out one
morning and see an imposing
mountain
He called the captains attention

from across the bridge. including

erton, the upper Sound country,
Hood canal, the Olympia peninsula
and other communities to get to
the downtown shopping district.
Notice Served
Lets have one main highway
which brings people into town
rather than around il. We realize
this improvement cannot be made
Immediately but we are going on
record at this time and giving
notice to all concerned so that the
next budgets made up will include
funds for these Improvements. The
necessary legal. financial and en-
gineering arrangements should be
started now in order that this high
way will be ready TO carry the
traffic when the bridge is COM
pleted.
we believe this project should
be financed by federal or state
funds as has been done IN the case
of other through traffic highways.
This is for the benefit of the public
at large.
Connection With Bridge
THE Tacoma Narrows bridge
will provide wonderful west en-
trance and this highway will
properly connect it with our fair
city. therefore we ask this COM
munication receive sincere con-
sideration."
Bourgaize pointed out in the let
ter that his organization started
working on the Narrows bridge
project 13 years ago and that in
another two years it will be COM
pleted.
This club" he said. has an
efficient and persistent folloW-up.
as demonstrated by our continued
efforts for the bridge over a long
period. We do believe, however.
that the Improvement of this
street Is so obvious and meets with
such public approval that no or
ganized effort will be needed to
accomplish it."

RAYON AND COTTON LINTERS
BECOMING FRIENDS

Will rayOn cut down the of cotton in the manu-
facture of automobile tires? The growing south
learning that there is occasion to be disturbed Ap-
parenty the has been created by
who have been trailing their most progressive competitors
who manufacture tires.
The so-called rayon tire bears the trade name of
Rayotws and the Patent Office shows that
patented rayon cord for which cotton nters is raw
material If rayotwiSt grows into general will
tribute greatly to the of cotton nters ners
Is that part of the cotton crop which the south
burdened with its greatest surpuses Cotton growers will
benefit through the reconciliation economic relations
between rayon and cotton those products become
partners in creating new and useful product
1t matter of history that Goodyear pioneerd the
pneumatic tire for trucks and buses. that company
in constant pursuit of methods to make better tires
rendered exceptional service to the public In doing
it has become of the largest employers the SOUTH
and it is also by far the largest of cotton in the
entire industry Staple cotton used in the manufacture
of tires for and there is likelihood of
any changes.
Because of the problems of extreme internal tire heat
in small percentage of trucking operations there have
been demands for long time, for different kind of
tire That has produced the copartnership of cotton
and tire that sells at 65 cent premimunl
the standard make of pneumatic tires and is this
combination of rayon and cotton nters that forms the
basic materials in this rayotwist.
The examination of the foregoing facts shows that it
must be twisted logic to that the limited of
rayon, together with cotton ntes constitutes attack
the cotton industry. AS matter of fact it will be
helpful to cotton 1t is ronical that such campaign of
misrepresentation should be directed against the very
company which actually created market for cotton in
truck tires
