This is recalled also by an announcement
that every National League club except the
Dodgers will have at least one son of a former
big Lacquer in training camps this spring.
The Dodgers have stood apart ever since
Dixie Walker departed.
Indeed Dixie and his brother Harry are
the only sons of major Lacquer whose names
readily come to mind as having outshone the
old man. This was partially due to their ability
and partially to old Ewart Dixie Walkers

 A bargain is always more ap- preciated than an outright gift. MT. Brownell is asking little more than the amount paid in taxes for this property over the period of years since he and his father acquired it in 1905, and held since then except for brief time.
 The proposition will come 70 a vote of the people. We would be foolish and ungrateful to turn it down. Let the voters be thinking about it, making up their minds, and show the ap- preciation of the townspeople for MT. Brownell's services by accepting his offer, and making it a permanent monument by naming the area Brownell Park.

The C.adGe 3oe9e4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

"No man is without honor, save in his own country" is a perfect expression of the situa- tion in which any man finds him. self when he makes a really gen. erous gift to community.
 The proposal of MT. Brownell to sell his entire homestead to the city for what amounts to al- most a token payment comes within that category. MT. Brown ell has the respect of Washing ton and other business men in the Territory. He has given mnay years of his life to Seward. He has accomplished much good for the city, and has gained the criticism of many, whether right fully or wrongfully, I am not prepared to say, because I have only recently made his personal acquaintance.
 However that may be, it can not be gainsaid, that whatever MT. Brownell did during his ad- ministration as mayor, was done with the absolute belief that he was doing what was right and best.
 Now he is offering his land to the city. He has refused many times to sell at five times his present offer because he would not sell to an individual. He wishes the mountainside to re- main a beauty spot, and not be denuded, left bare and insight ly, open to erosion, as would happen if the trees were all cut down.
 He has prepared warranty deed, which will give us the privilege of making arrange ments for immediate construc- tion of a nurses home and hos pital. This also permits the sub division for homesites, and the building upon the hillside of beautiful houses, providing that the trees are removed under SUD- ervision, so as to leave the park effect for beauty.
 The homestead also controls the source of the city water SUD- ply. which rises on the noun tainside, the hydroelectric line in Lowell Canyon, and the right of-way to the bay.
 All this for the sum of S1OO per month over a period of ten years, with the right of immedi- ate use. NO INTEREST, and no

There is a great deal of dis
cussion, pro and con, about the
proposed franchise for Northern
Cab Companies, Inc. This is as
it should be. No community
should enter into such a con-
tract with company of any
kind whatsoever without
thorough understanding of the
implications of such franchise.
There are arguments on both
sides, both good and bad. It is
up to the voters to decide the
issue. Before a franchise can be
gra Mt d, the people must
pass on it. Before it can be
brought to the people for a vote,
the council has to pass it, then
it is up to the voters-the resi-
dents of the community, and the
only fair thing the council can
do about it is to give the petit
toner the chance to bring his
case before the people.
No matter how the issue goes,
whether it is approved or dis
approved, we will, without
doubt, be hearing a month from
now such things as we are hear
ing today. II wouldn't vote for
it." "That's stupid thing to do"
