At this time last year, there had been but four entries made to the first 500 mile race, so the prospect for the see ond one, em even better than those of 1811. The other five entries to the race consist of two Stats cars, entered by the Ideal Motor Car, company of In dianapolis, with Joe. Matson named to Urive; and' two Case cars entered by the J.. L Case Threshing Machine com pany of Racine, Wis. Joe Jagersberger and Louis Dlsbrow have been nominated - as the pilots of the. two Case entries, The fact that such famous drivers have been, entered early la the year, and that all the cars so far named are among the foremost racing machines In the world, makes It seem certain that the field of starters next May will have . even mora class than . the bunch that took: the word from Starter Wagner last year. . ::. :i '-. fl' , 1. ,, Owing to the fact that there have been so many early requests -for seats and parking space reservations for the next race, , the speedway ; management opened the seat -eale- en January 10, - From that time on seats may be ob- - talned for the next Memorial Day event either la person or by mail.

'.The speedway has arranged to pro vide - 4000 rooms In private homes In ' addition to the hotel accommodations. ho that a crowd of 150,000 persona may be cared for easily. One f f the Interesting features In connection with the next 600 mile race la that the foreign manufacturers have taken a greater Interest than ever be fore and many 1 requests for particulars have been received from European mo tor car makers. . It Is believed highly probable that several new foreign cars and drivers will make their American debut in this classic event , ' , The entry, list so. far for- tha, raoe thnws that four American cars have been entered as against ' three . foreign machines. All of the foreign cars are privately owned, . DePalma's mount be ing the property of E. J. Schroeder of New York,. Mataon's Flat" being owned ' by E. K' Hewlett of.

This leads tha rac- ing enthusiasts In the country to be lieve that motor car racing Is becoming more of - a sporting- proposition - than ever before, and eventually It may be come a competition entered only by cars owned privately without affiliation with factories or dealers. . -, You Don't Need a New Stomach You Can Now Look Any Meal Square in the Face, and Then Just "Go - For It," if You Take Stuart's ; - ' Dyspepsia Tablets.

Seattle, Wash., Jan. 20. Portland's efforts to break into the Alaska IfadT are being watched with Interest In Se attle but local merchants have taken no steps to offset the competition of the Oregon metropolis. In fact, local mer chants have displayed marked indiffer ence to the endeavor of rival ports to alienate a portion of the Alaska busi ness; Seattle haa been so strongly en trenched in. this trade since the Klon dike rush that It is evident that local interests hold the opinion, that no com petitor can oust them. . 'This condition was due largely to the lack of adequate steamship connections to other ports. Ban Francisco nas al ways had a portion of the northern trade, but' the distance, to the Golden Gate haa worked agalnat that port's Chances In Alaska. ' Those who know the situation and are willing to discuss it from an unprejudiced viewpoint admit that Portland has an excellent oppor tunity to get a portion of the Alaska business. The distance by water from Portland is but a trifle greater than from 8eattle. and If Portland can ob tain transportation that is satisfactory the business men of Portland, it la ad mitted here, should get a good share of the northern business. - Last year the Dodge Bteamsnip com pany operated the steamer St. Helens from Seattle to Bering sea. If Portland meets the terms laid down by the teamshln line. It is likely that the BU Helens' will be " lost to Seattle during the coming Nome . season, several veara aao Tacoma had an excellent op portunity to get into the Alaska busi ness, but the mercnama oi mat cuy failed to take advantage of the open ing, and consequently Tacoma ships but a small proportion oi tne ireignt wnicn goes to the north each summer. . It is admitted that Portland is In an advantageous position to get a good share of the passenger traffic from Cal ifornia to Alaska, as passenger steam ers leave San Francisco only about twice year. .. Preparing for Potlatoh. The' Potlatcb bug la still busily at work and next summer's festival is one of the main topics of Interest In Seajttle. The organisation Is well under way and those who carried the Potlatch bug to Portland last week returned well satis fled with their reception and also de termined to assist In every .way possible to make Portland's Rose Festival a success. " The Potlatch organization is more than willing to work in harmony with Portland, The Rose City did so handsomely last year during the . Pot latch that Seattle boosters recognise in Portland their best friends. No out side city sent a larger or more enthus- tastlo delegation to the Potlatch and Seattle Is determined to do the right thing by the Rose Festival In the expectation that Portland will reciprocate. . Tot Borne Industry. Local manufacturers for years have been appealing to the publio to patronise home industry, and In . rurtnertng this campaign the Seattle Manufacturers' as sociation ' has decided to use a lot of newspaper space In which to make dally appeals to the public. Every day a large display advertisement calls the attention of the householder to the su periority of local products and to the need of helping home Industry. Various facts and figures are presented show ing where the consumer will gain by being loyal and patriotic. The local manufacturers hope for big resulta from this campaign! which la attracting at tention by its novelty. - For years Se attle has been crying for more factor ies but whenever a manufacturer sought locatlo;. here he was usually driven away by the prices asked for sites. Those who have located here have often complained of lack of local patronage while .others, have complained about the discrimination of the government ln fa vor of eastern firms as well as-against excessive freight rates to the territory east of Puegt aoundV ' . - , .'- Mayoralty Contest On, "Who" will be the next mayorT" ThIs Is the question. With the candidates well lined up. the issues are being close ly drawn. . The campaign is non-partisan.. Former Mayor H. C Gill and for mer Assessor T. A.- Parish are Repub licans. Oeorge V. Cotterlll, former state senator, Is a rock-ribbed Democrat, while Dr. Edwin J. Brown and II. M. Wells are Socialists. Dr. Brown haa been a candidate for mayor several years ' in succession. ' Last year he polled the largest vote ever received by a Social ist in Seattle. Wells, who was formerly employed In the local ppstoffice and lost his position for participating In politics, Is the regular Socialist nom inee. The general opinion Is that the con test, following the primaries, will nar row down to Gill and Parish. It is conceded that Gill will poll his full strength In the primaries, while the voters who elected Dllllng last year will divide their strength between Par ish and Cotterlll, between whom, as far as a clean administration may be ex pected, there Is little choice. The wom en will vote strongly against Gill for the 'expose of th Gill regime lost htm the larger portion of the female vote. Plans Jail to Please. Considerable bitterness has been aroused over the Bogue plans providing for a civic center and for a plan of general civic improvement. These plans, designed by Virgil Bogue, an eminent engineer who spent months here in studying conditions, are to be voted upon by the electors in March. Various publio bodies have dUcussed the plans and publio opinion is seriously divided as to the advisability of adopting them. Those opposing the scheme point out that It will cost millions, that large sums are proposed for art and decora tion for which they, claim there Is no call and that the city' Is not, m financial condition to stand the expense. . Those favoring the plans argue the advantage of the city beautiful and of having pub lio buildings concentrated -and further more they state that now is the time to Inaugurate some definite scheme of oivio improvement. . . . Contractor "Stung" by Court. C. J. Erlckson, a local contractor who is building the Lake Washington canal, finds himself convicted under the state courts for carrying out a federal' pro ject. This case is an illustration of a peculiar conflict '.between, state and federal authority. . When Erlckson started work on the government canal, his men blew out a dam at the canal. Previous to this. Interests which object ed to the Lake Washington canal had obtained an Injunction . from the su perior court of Thurston county. 'The contractors Ignored this order and pro- kceeded with their work for the govern ment. They were taken to court on contempt charges and Erlckson was fined $300 and given a brief Jail sen tence. Appeal was taken to the state supreme court, which has , Just ruled that the lower court was correct In pun ishing the contractors. However, the higher court declares the Jail sentence void and reduces the fine to $100. P. A. Carlson, Erlckson's foreman. Is sen tenced to pay a like fine. Another peculiar feature of the case Is that some time ago the state supreme court In another decision held that the suit in which this Injunction was Issued was without merit and ordered the In junction dissolved and the case dta- j missed. Erlckson has fought the case bitterly. He contended that the blow ing out of tha -dam was done without his knowledge and at the orders of the federal engineer in charge of the work. , Postofflce Lores Many. (Special to The Journal.)

Mr Storey Is of the opinion that most of them will' bloom this .spring as they are ail well ' rooted and many of them have already attained a fine growth. , "One thing: I notice," said Mr. Storey, while discussing roses, ''Is the fact that Portland rose growers will not profit by past , experlenoe In the matter , of cutting back their rose bushes.1 In walk ing through the residence portions of the city one will now and then find a yard where - the rose bushes . are not broken down . and partially t ruined by .... the recent sliver thaw. : In every In stance these bushes were pruned In Oc f tobor or November, but in a vast major ity of the yards the rose, bushes had not been cut back and were consequently ' badly damaged by the, Ice. - It has al ways been a mystery to me why so : : many Portland rose growers waited un til spring to prune their rose bushes.
