September 1, 1862." This wan the epitaph of Washing ton's great first governor. His glor ious tragic denlh exemplifies the truth of the saying: "The nob'est dfath that man can die Is when he dies for man Washington claims Its share in th g ory (if his great name and fame It waa a fortunnte circumstance that gave to the territory as Its first governor a man "whose mind and soul was cast in Nature's noblest mold." "looking backward through the mlft of years to that rainy November day In IS53 when the young gover nor rode Into the village or Olympic to take up the reins of government, we may Imagine his quick and com prehensive mind was busy with dreams of the greatness of the com monwealth whose cornerstone he h:-iu come to lay. "Visions of the coming greatness of the state must have daziled hl bra'n as he saw the wonders thr.t would be; but. however bright th dream mav have been he could not have believed S years later there wou'd be residing within the boun daries of the territory more than one million five hundred thousand people; that four tnnscontinental lines of railroads would have their terminals on Tugef Sound and that the ceaseless rumble of car whe'is carrying a mightv commerce could everywhere be heard, or that ship- innumerable would file 1n and our through the Straits of Juan de Fucn. bound on "ong voyages to all par's on all oceans, weav'ng a web of com merce as thev come nnd go. hini'lntr the nations in stronger nnd more :un Icabte relations "The life and achievements of Cen- eral Stevens are too well known to require repetition. Suff'ce to say he was horn In Massachusetts, educated West mint, served with distinc tion In the Mexican war and later in the engineering corps of the armv, became governor of Washington In IslK. in which cnpnclty he put In motion the wheels of government, displaying great capacity and marvel- oms energy.

FRANCIS CO. kD CLUB CARAVAN' IN ITS BATTLE WITH MUD 4 Goodrich Tires Plough Leagues of Mud Fre e from Tire Trou ble Wear out 3 sets of Chains T H ROUGH sprine and summer, Goodrich Test Car Fleets in every region of our land have demonstrated the lasting strength of Black Safety Tread Tires on any kind of a road in any sort of weather. Millions of miles of mauling these matchless fabric tires under The Test Car have proved their right to the title, "America's Tested Tires." Yet the TEST of Tests, which out-tested the Goodrich Test Car Fleets, came to them unscheduled and unplanned. A Mileage ' Battle With Mud THE San Francisco Ad Club set forth with a Caravan of automobiles to motor cross con tinent to the St. Louis Advertising Convention. The pilot car was equipped with four Goodrich Black Safety Tread Tires. At the Sierra Nevadas, the pleasure jaunt, by a whim of weather, turned to the bit terest test of tires, rain and snow and storm-strickened roads ever staged. Where You See This Sign Goodrich Tires are Stocked With storm skies over the caravan always, and rain storm and snow storm whipping fore and aft, that pilot car fought its way over the desert, the Rockies, and the Prairies. It ploughed those four Goodrich Tires through the slush and snow, the scattered rock and frozen mud of water guttered trails on desert and mountain. Even in the flat lands, those tires waded tarlike mud, sank into quag mires, and forded flood-swollen streams. The pictures here, reproductions of photo graphs the hub-mired car and wheels clogged with clay tell what those tires endured. Black Treads Outlasted Chains ALL. four tires, unscathed, reached a point fifty miles from St. Louis. Here one fell a victim to a puncture, but the others wheeled into St. Louis on San Francisco air. The tire -trying test wore out three sets of chains, but not those four Goodrich Tires. This dramatic demonstration but confirms what Goodrich Test Car Fleets are demon strating every day in widely separated regions of our country; the durability of "America's Tested Tires," Goodrich Black Safety Treads.
