Yesterday, to save the carrying of benches a few feet, heavy wagons were driven over the beautiful lawns below the formal gardens. Wheels sank into the sod and sharply shod horses’ feet tore up great bunches of turf.

TRAN FAILS TO SLOW UP AND YOUNG WOMAN KILLED Interurban Train Dashes Through Town of Foster and Runs Down School Teacher. BY T. J.

For the through any more. The “nothing doing” sign is up on the brewery strong box. it’s looked, the combination lost and the keys are thrown away. For twenty years the politicians of Georgetown have lived fat off the brewery. The brewery and the politicians were in partnership; they were pals and the brewery was always a good fellow, ready to dig deep and often any time any of the boys framed up a little deal Bat no more. The gaunt spectre of local option lifted its dry voice in the state and preached an alcoholi¢ and political reform. The boys” wore a path to the brewery strong box. The brewery paid, paid, paid, always paid, Georgetown's mayors were elect ed by brewery money; Georgetown councilmen were elected by brewery money, every artery of Georgetown't political life pulsed from the brewery. The brewery was the heart, a heart now fluttering with weakness or expiring of fatty degeneration, “Cranks,” “enemies of personal liberty,” “crazy minis ters,” “church mute” and the like grew active, Delivering the goods became a harder and harder matter for the gang. Public opinion began to take definite shape and march along definite ss, One by one the outposts of beer fell. The brewery nagers began to think, to see they were losing a long and expensive fight. The strong box didn’t open so readily any more, only the terror of annexation to Seattle was the sesame. It worked the last time and the gang wallowed deep in the brewery gold But this time the box didn't open. The brewery had paid ite Jast dividends to tts political stockholders. The partnership was dissolved. Soon the brewery doors will close. The beer vats will make way for the machine lathe, the anvil will take the place of the keg, and where once the pink-cheeked malt worker reigned supreme the dark oily carsmith will hold sway That is why there is a Plutonian gloom hanging over the gang in Georgetown; a gang distraught and’ without under standing.
