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. Indian
. apolls hotels have been besieged with
reservation requests already and are
booking their, rooms for visitors next
May. . v . ... . .
rorelgners Taking Interest.
'.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. Los - Angeles,
' Rnd " Wishart'a ' - Mercedes his . own
nersonal nrooertv. 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. . -,

Seattle Watches Alaska Business While Portland Plans
Strongly Entrenched In Northern Territory Seattle Merchants Feel Able to Hold Advantages Gained, but
' Portland May Become Serious Competitor; Manufacturers Plan Campaign to Boost Home Industry;
- ,,MunkipaJ Campaign la Really On; City Beautiful Plans Fail to Please. -'
" (Speelal to The Journal.)
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.

These roses all came from Ireland
from the celebrated nurseries of Hugh

Dickson, at Newtonardar, County Doon.
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. In
a few weeks the sap will begin to run
and every plant that la pruned after ...
the sap starts Is seriously wounded, and
at the very season when It should be
handled most carefully." ' ";:. "
