CENT KALI A. Wash.. March SJ. (Special.) Reflecting; the sentiment of tho residents of 10 counties, more than 100 members of tho Southwestern Washington T3evelopment League. In executive session today, administered a keen rebuke to Seattle and Tacoma for permitting the defeat of the Pa cific highway bill in the Legislature and for falling at all times to give proper recognition to the buslnesa in terests of tho southwest. The league went on record aa showing Ita disap pointment over the political and com mercial spirit of the Puget Sound cities. Two sets of resolutions, dealing with J tne same autject. were prepared, but for purposes of harmony the milder of the two waa adopted. By the resolu tions as paased the league demands the building of the Pacific highway and In vites specifically the assistance of King and Pierce counties. Special Session Asked. In the aame resolutions, the League made an appeal to- Governor Hay to call a special session of the Legislature to reconsider Its action on the good roads programme and of enacting all the road bills passed In the House of Kf prese n ta 1 1 -es. Although the resolutions were draft ed In such language as not to arouse the Ire ofSeattle and Tacoma, a free translation would fit the remarks made by A. C Little, of Raymond, who said: "It ,1s an old. old cry. We never hare received any recognition from Seattle or Tacoma, In any -way. They have always turned us down because they bad the balance of power. Let us see what they will do now. Before the resolutions were adopted. El C. Finch, of Aberdeen, chairman of the Good Roads Committee, submitted another set of resolutions In which the Legislature and the King and Pierce county delegations, especially, were cen sured for foiling to pase the Pacldo highway bill and other road measures. Plain I-anguage Advocated. "We should place the blame where It belongaV he said in support of the reeo lution. "Tne road measures passed In the House by a strong majority, but when they got In the Senate what hap pened? it was tne King County delega tion, aided by some of the Pierce Coun ty Sens tors, that defeated the Important road bllla. We excuse the Pierce Coun ty men to some slight extent for we uuderatand that they were misled, but we should accept no explanations from King Cwunty. H e have heard much in the paM about the 'Seattle spirit." It used to be considered complimentary, but now it conveys a directly opposite meaning. We hare nothing to lose in passing these resolutions. We should show King Coun ty how we feel and what we propose to do in tne future." Senators Eastham. of Vancouver, and Fishback. of Adna. Lewis County, were among the delegates who objected to the Finch resolutions. They said that If It was desired to have the Pacific highway measure passed at a special sesslen or the Legislature, the proposed resolutions would excite the enmity of the King and Pierce County delega tions and that no favorable legislation. In the event of a special session, could be expected. Southwest Trade Forgotten. -i neueve you win agree with me that the members of the Legislature from Southwestern Washington were a nnit for the good road bills." said Mr. Fishback. "It was Nichols of King who wss the prime mover against the Pacific highway project. He argued that such a rosd would be a funnel. carrying everything Into Portland, and his scheme, by having a Pacific and Inland Empire highway, was to attract business to the Sound. But he seemed to forget thst the trade of Southwevt em Washington Is much larger then that which he could hope to get by thla highway project. Nichols fooled some of the Senstors when he got them to sign up for his "combine." Many of these were from Kan tern ashlngton. If ther are given another chance, they will repudiate the Nichols scheme. Hence. I do not think it advisable to adopt the Finch resolutions." C. J. Lord, of Olympls, cautioned the delegates against taking any radical action. lie said that he was not rep resenting Governor Hay officially at the meeting, but announced that the Governor would call a special session provided that It was not to continue more than two days, that the legis lators should pay their own expenses and that only the road measures would be taken up for reconsideration. Pacific Highway Indorsed. Mr Finch then announced that he would withdraw his resolutions. The resolutions, prepared by the executive TRIAL PACKAGE SENT FREE. There is no long wait between the time you take a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet and the feelng of relief it will bring to an overloaded stomach. It gets busy in a Jiffy and quickly sets things to rights in that tired and dis ordered stomach. It goes right at the work of digesting the- food It finds lodged there and in no time at all has things on the move the gases cease forming, the breath s sweetened, the coating on the tongue disappears and you are no longer conscious that you even had a stomach. That Is one of the chief recommenda tions for Stuart's Oyspepela Tablets that they don't take forever to accom plish the purpose for which you. need them. It is Just as if you put an ex tra stomach or two to work when yours needed help. You can't continu allyiverload your stomach and expect It to always smlie. It Is going to get rebellious and sulky after awhile and refuse to o on being driven to do double work. You must rest it occa sionally not by starving and thereby weakening yourself physically but by using a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet to do the work of digesting your food. These tablets contain all the active elements of the natural stomach Juices and will alone and unaided digest food Just the same as the gastric Juices. And nothing could be more harmless than these tablets. They do not affect the system In tnr way do not cure any ailment except as they digest food. Use them freely. Stuart's Dytpepsla Tablets are sold by all druggists everywhere. Price. f0 cents per box. A trial package will be sent If you 'will write F. A. Stuart Co.. loo ruuart Blflg.. aiarsnajl, Mich. MORRISON AT SEVENTH MORRISON AT SEVENTH Portland's Most Dependable Complete Homefurnishing and Office Furnishing Service. Quality is the First Consideration in the Selection, of This Store's Merchandise. Prices the Fairest EASIEST TERMS OF PAYMENT TO HOMEFURNISHERS committee, were adopted unanimously, as follows: That this' association uanimously places itself on record as favoring the Pacific highway' and pledges itself use all honorable means to secure Its completion as speedily as possible. and That this association asks the co- ope rut ion of King and Pierce counties, and any effort at action by the busi ness Interests of King and Pierce counties in opposition to the building of the Pacific highway be construed as unfriendly to the Southwest. "That the executive committee be authorised to ask Governor Hay on be half of this association to call a special session of the Legislature conditioned on the following: That after tho com mercial bodies of Seattle and Tacom shall have secured sufficient pledges and assurances from the Senators and Representatives of King and Pierce counties that, they will enforce -the passage of the Pacific Highway bill and other state road appropriation bills." Although the adoption of the reso lutions was in effect 'a compromise to preserve harmony, many of the mem bers of the League have not been ap peased and still believe that Seattle and Tacoma will never come out with free hand In dealing with affairs of Southwestern Washington. "Senate Combine' Exposed. "I can't easily forget that 'Senate combine." ". said A. C. Llttlo, of Ray mond. "Those fellows who killed the Pacific highway bill understood the situation. They didn't propose to build up Portland at their own expense. "The Governor ought to call a spe cial session, so we can see what Se attle and Tacoma will do. There are many of us In Southwestern Washing ton who have taken .about all we are going to stand. Wre never have re ceived proper recognition from the larger cities of the state. 1 here were some members of the Senate who were our friends, but we should condemn President Paulhamus, Nichols of King and Metcalf of Pierce. They were not satisfied to hog the whole thing, but they disrupted the whole road programme. Let us make those Senators go on record either for or" against us." Representative Davis, of Tacoma. who had been excluded previously from the room when the various commit tees were In session, was permitted to address the delegates. He said that the majority of the people of Tacoma II ii . faterstiog Economy News of Woman's and Misses - New Taillored Suits and Coats Just when women axe about to decide on -their New Spring Tailored Suit or Coat comes this opportunity to choose from garments that have the mark of Spring newness and distinctiveness in styles and materials, at savings that arc noteworthy.
