(Special to The Journal.)
Seattle. Wash. July 22. Seattle ia
well tired out after a week of nctivlty,
during which the. hopt was played tn
. thousands of visitors from all parts of
the. norRtwest.' To tate that the Gold
';' en Potlatch has surpassed expectations
from every standpoint is putting It mlld-
f Jy. Even the .nost enthusiastic work
' ers had no idea so many strangers
would be attracted to this city and the
' first annual Potlatch passes Into hts-
' tory tonight with "su-cct-ss" spelled In
very feature.
FoUatcb. Z Bnsinaos Bnccen.
s ' Considering the Potlatch from a pure.
' ly selfish, commercial standpoint, it has
' been as successful aa In attendance or
brilliancy of pageants. No such crowds
of people have thronged Seattle's streets
aince the Alaska-Yukon-Paclfic fair in
- 10, and on only a few days during
that exposition was the city so crowded
" aa during the past week. Every hotel
s has been turning people away, the ree-
- taurants have been thronged, the curio
. dealers have done 'a thriving business
while the refreshment stands have made
good money as the weather, especially
the first three-days, was exceptionally
; hot. However, the wholesalers have
' probably fared as well aa any other
Class. The Potlatch brought hundreds
' of merchants Into the city. . Ohe whole-
sale firm sent Invitations to Its cus
tomers, offering to furnish them lodg
. inga during the week. This generous
. offer was accepted by many, and while
It cost heavily, the officers of this firm
. report themselves more than satisfied
with results. Another wholesale house
. reported that its heavy Sales on Mon
day morning alone more than com-
pensated for the contribution it made to
. the Potlatch. This seems to be the
i general tenor of sentiment among the
i substantial merchants. Consequently
the Potlatch Is leaving a pleasant mem-
": ory. ; The week brought better busi
ness than Seattle has had for months
and it comes after a period of business
depression and general apathyln "cfvio
spirit which the more enthusiastic hope
: is now at ai end.
The visitors were surprised and de-
Jigtited with the decorations, which ex
celled anything seen here, not excepting
the opening of the A.-Y.-P. , fair. Se
tt!e" hospitality was well exemplified
'during the week, and this feature has
been favorably commented upon by the
city's guests. The Portland people have
been-especially lmid In their praise of
Seattle's hearty reception. Automobile
owners have been very liberal with their
machines, which have been at the dis
posal of the Potlatch management or
the various entertaining organizations
every day. Certain It Is that relations
between Seattle and her iiuIkIjuIjis, es
. pecially Portland, are no on a most
friendly basis.
Display of Home Industry.
During the we:fc. home industry was
well advertised. On aH'ne main 'busi
ness corners, small booths were built,
attractive and nicely decorated, each as
signed to some local company, -where
home manufactured wares were placed
on exhibition and advertjlrrg literature
and samplea distributed. At these
booths, nothing was sold, the Idea be
Jng simply to make home-made wares
known to visitors. It Is early to pre
dict results, but the general opinion ia
that the effort was well directed.
In the city and they expect to make up
a crowd of not less than 2000 to par
ticipate In the festivities of the day.' A
Lvarlcd program of sports will, be given
during tho day. It Is reported that the
order of Eagles, Elks nnd, Moose will
send teams to compete with the knights
In the sports. Several, hfindaome silver
cupa will be given as prises.
Arrangements have beetr made for
two special trains to carry the picnick
ers to- the grounds. The trains will
leave Montavllla nt 8 and 9 o'clock, re
spectively. Special street cae service
will carry the crowds to Montavllla.. The
special cars will run from 7;80 to 8:30.
starting from Third and Morrison
streets.

i (Special to The Journal )
, Seattle, Wash.. July 22. Seattle Is
I Involved In another merry fight, this
' belnu on the question of whether or
! not a draw bridge shall be built it the
mouth of the East anil West Water
I ways. These two waterways front on a
1 large area of tidelands. Numerous boat
! yards, a large drydock and many fac
tories are located on these two chan-
nels, which largo vessels navigate
every day. For years the residents of
i West Seattle have clamored for a
shorter streetcar route into the city
' and now they want the city to erect a
bridge over these waterways. Shipping
I men are up in arms an they claim the
! bridges will keep them- out. The own
ers of property ami plants above tho
proposed draw are also in the fight,
1 while the Wept Seattle populace insiKts
on this- bridge. The Municipal Plans
I commission and Its engineer, Virgil
i Hogue. have advised strongly against
the ntw draw, recommending the pres
; ent rout.! by Spokane, avenue. Th
I matter in now In the city council with
a prospect of precipitating as merry a
! row as has been seen here in months.
I Opponents of the bridge have used
I Portland's experiences with drawa as a
strong argument.
The local board of T'nlted States in
spectors has under consideration tho
evidence against Captain J. A. Guptill.
master of the wrecked steamer Spo
kane, and within a few days will de
cide whether he Is amenable to punish
ment for negligent navigation. It is
believed that the Inspectors are satis
fled that Captain Ouptill and his men
did everything possible nfter the vessel
struck. The point to be decided Is
whether or not he was reckless in at
tempting to pans through the Narrows
at the time he did. Captain Guptill
has produced considerable expert testi
mony to uphold his action. It la not
Improbable that some penalty will be
Imposed, as the Inspectors are certain
that too many mishaps have recently
occurred. The same board this week
roundly censured tho two engineers of
tho freighter Tamplco, which sank In
the harbor two months ago while bunk
ering. It has been shown that the in
board discharge valvo had been left
open and from the questions' of tho
board It is believed that the engineers
will be penalized although they have
offered to produce evidence to prove
that some person maliciously placed a
atlck In the valve to prevent Its closing.
m
. F. A. 'Huntley, state commissioner of
horticulture, has spread an alarm slat
ing that the dreaded brown tall moth
threatens to. devastate the crops of
this state and the coast. This week six
1 acres In the Rainier valley, near Reat
I tic, were found covered with cocoons.
i-ronipt measures have been taken to
ward off the danger and the state and
district horticultural officers are send
ing out stern warnings.
U seems rather a strange freak of
fate that Will H. Thompson, a well-
known attorney, archer and author of
this city, should have been shot by his
own revolver while engaged in a bow
and arrow hunt in Uritish Columbia,
Mr. Thompson is tin enthusiastic archer
ami with a party of archers recently
left for an extended cruise Intending
to s.jek big game with how and arrow
alone. As u matur of better protection
Mr. Thompson carried a revolver and
when it dropped from his pocket, while
he was drinking from ;i stream, a
cartridge exploded. Inflicting a painful
wound In the lift forearm. Previously
Mr. Thompson hnl shot a wildcat with
a how arid arrow.
On July 25 Grant Smith & Co. and
Stlllwell will recelv-o from the city final
payment for the largest regrade con
tract ever executed in SeattlB, the city
auditing committee having approved the
claim. This firm held the municipal
contract . for the Kenny Hill regrade,
which has hern under way for nearly
four years. Its total cost to the city,
and adjoining owners was close to
$2,000, 000, and Its completion has made
available, a large area of land close to
the city's center heretofore practically
useless because of its elevation. It was
on this hill that the old Washington
hotel was located. However, the work
of leveling the Washington hotel site
was done by private contract. From
the city the contracting firm, which
finished work ubout a month ago. will
receive a total of $874,954, of which
amount $57,649 was paid but of tho mu
nicipal sreneral fund and the remainder
by the local improvement district as
sessed for the regrade.
Unexpected opposition has arisen in
some quarters to the plan of creating
a Port of Seattle. After studying the
matter, owners of some of the larger
wharves and extensive waterfront prop
erty have expressed the opinion that
there is no need . of a Port of Seattle
commission. Especial objection Is made
to the taw which allows the commission
to levy a two-mill tax, and gives three
men the handling of so large a Bum Is
pointed to as a hazard, while many wharf
owners believe that there Is ho crying
need oT Immediate . Improvement. An

Attorneys representing the receivers
of the I'nlted Wireless have commenced
suit In the local courts to recover prop
erty of George H. Parker, director of
the United Wireless, recently convicted
in New York. Parker lived in Seattle
several years, coming here without
money or property. He accumulated
much wealth during his connection with
United Wireless and Invested It in val
uable Seattle property. The lawyers
have now tied it all up and have also
