i TACOMA, Wash- July 20. (Special.)
f Financing of further improvement of
the street car system by the City for
in equity interest in the Tacoma Rail
,way & Power Company and city control
of the lines has been offered by Louis
II. Bean, manager of the traction sys
tem, as means for gaining better street
car service. His proposal has been
made to the committee of 25 citizens
now investigating the situation.
Mr. Bean suggests a gradual acquisi
tion of the -properties by the City. The
estimated cost of the improvements,
rehabilitations and extensions Is $1,615,
000. Mr. Bean proposes two alterna
tives. One is, for the City to gain an
equity by financing the needed im
provements.. The other is to deed the
properties of the Tacoma Railway &
Power Company and Pacific Traction
Company to the City, the municipality
leasing it back to its present owners
on an agreed valuation and percentage
of rroflt.
The voters at the last city election
turned down the proposition of a bonri
issue to buy the lines. Tacoma has a
'-cent streetcar rare, that concession
having been granted as a war emer
gency measure by the Council on the
recommendation ot the committee of 25.

EUGENE, Or., July 20. (Special.)
3. II. McClung, of Portland, Ore
gon pioneer, has gone to McKen
zie Bridge on his annual fishing trip.
His record as a fisherman is probably
unequaled by any other citizen of the
state. He first fished in the McKen
zie in 1860 and has been visiting the
river nearly every Summer every since.
He says that in the 58 years there were
but three, or possibly four years, when
he has not taken his McKenzie trip.
Mr. McClung Is the last living of a
party of seven who were the first white
men to visit the tributaries of the Mc
Kenzie heading, in The Sisters. -The
other members of the party who made
the trip up the McKenzie in 1860 were
business men in tTie town of Eugene,
which had at that time a population of
about 600. The business interests of
the village, were pretty generally rep
resented in the excursion. The person
nel of the party was as follows:
A. S. Patterson, clerk in the store- of
J. L. Brumley.
A. J. Welch, clerk for Goldsmith &
Blanding, occupying a building on the
present elte of the Cockerline & Wether
bee business block.
C. H. Moses, Jeweler.
A. Renfrew, proprietor of a hotel
which stood - on present location of
Hoffman House.
Joe Stevenson, who conducted a
butcher ehop at site of present Friendly
building.
Joel Ware, printer employed on the
People's Press.

Shipwrecked in a land of unlimited

to Will H. Armstrong, as Hula Hula,
central character in "The Isle of Joy."
the new musical comedy to be present
ed by the Armstrong Folly Company
at Oaks Amusement Park for one week,

How Fatlma, queen of the isle, forces
Hula Hula to become royal consort for
a brief time and what happens to Hula
Hula while he is lording it o'er his

funny. The role of Fatima gives
Maudie Smith, the company's leading
lady, full opportunity to display all her
grace and sprightllness of manner.
Perhaps no other musical comedy be
fore the public lends Itself so readily
to striking, gorgeous costuming as
does "The Isle of Joy."
The chorus for Armstrong's produc
tion of the comedy is a study in color
ing. These come so fast that the girls
scarcely have time in which to make
the changes.
Henry Sherr, it is assured, will be
funnier than ever this week in the

Mr. McClung eaya at that time there
were no white settlers on the river
above Waltervllle. The party made its
way over an Indian trail. The trip was
without incident until a point near Mc
Kenzie Bridge, known at that time as
Big Prairie, was reached. The mem
bers of the party were surprised to
hear a great amount of shooting. Pres
ently they came upon a camp of In
dians, whose chief cams to meet them,

the Warm Springs Reservation on the
Deschutes. The Indians made the trip
into the mountains every Summer to
get their year's supply of meat.
Mr. McClung and Mr. Moses, after
reaching The Sisters, spent a day ex
plorlng a glacier.
Mr. McClung eays he did not know
that trout were more plentiful then
than they are today, and quoted
"Uncle" George Frizzell to the effect
that there are Just as many fish as
there ever were, but they are harder
to catch. He eays that in 1860, before
the days of the artificial fly, grass
hoppers were used for bait. During
his more than 50 years' fishing, 75 trout
was his best day'a catch.

A special feature which will be put
on is an Oriental dance. Miss June

reputation, is billed for this stunt, and
in her tryouts has convinced Manager
Armstrong that she deserves the praise
which has been bestowed upon her.
Miss Flora Sims, whose pleasing
lyrlo soprano voles has greatly added
to the pleasure of Oaks patrons, is
slated for a solo at each of the two
daily performances of the "Isle of Joy.
The musical numbers will be under

hear the guns and at night we see the

"They have a number of radio sets

"There is a hill about a mile from
here that I climb at night and see all
the fireworks at the front and it sure
is a grand sight.
"This camp is about a mile from

there after 5 o'clock in the evening.
There are a Y. M. C. A. hut and Red

M. A. POWELL WINS
In response to Painless Parker's offer recently made
through this newspaper to give $100 for the "best
idea," letters were received from all parts of Oregon
and Washington.
The letter printed below was awarded the prize:
I wish to personally thank all who competed for the many helpful ideas
that were submitted.
The large number of letters received shows an interest that is most
gratifying, and there were so many exceptionally good letters that it was
with great difficulty that one could be singled out by te committee as bet
ter than the others.
Many of the suggestions made are being put into effect in all my offices;
I thank you.

Dear Sir:
Education hy publicity vrill cure the public mind poisoned against you by
oppositional dentists.
Education is enlightenment, Publicity is one form of education. Publicity is light.
LET IN THE LIGHT.
You can reach the people with the truth thru printers ink. History fails to
show any instance where the American people failed to respond to the truth when
'it was known.
The English people let in the light on old King John and his land barons. The
result was Magna Charta, the first great Bill of Human Rights. American
immigrants along about 1776 held a little tea party in Boston Harbor that let in
the light on the methods of a disciple of Kultur, at that time ruling in England,
tho hailing from foreign parts, and the result was our American Republic.
We are now letting in a little light on Bill of Berlin. When the rays penetrate
the thick heads of his subjects peace will come again.
When anything obscure goes wrong with the human machine the surgeon lets
in a little light X-ray, violet ray-and others. Disease, crime and irregularity fly
before light.
What is true of the body is true of the mind. - The psychology of business is
based upon knowing the facts. Therefore, let in the light. Shed it bravely
upon any nefarious member of the dental profession you know and the public
will respond.
My idea is to keep these facts constantly and accurately and good-humoredly
before the public. The piSblic . likes to laugh. And with its laugh it likes to
learn. We are a hungry people hungry for information.
Continue your educational advertising. Continue to do uniformly good work.
Continue to give the best service that it is possible to render. Continue to charge
low fees made possible by your large organization, and human nature will do
the rest. M. A. POWELL,
