John An Steamboat ine water car | Several days ogo Capt derson, of the Anderson Co., operating the lake passenger steamers, asked the port commis ston If he might use the port's ferry in which to carry n the parade. The rea agreed, think! bers say, that the captain carry them free They imposed on him merely payment of the cost of operating the steamer for the evening Later, however, they learned An derson proposed charging the Shriners 75 great big cents each for the privilege of treading the Leachi's decks. Capt. Anderson Peeved Shriners vont port commisstor the mem Whereupon the port commiaston | bid the captain «ive pause to his plans, canceled its permission to use the boat and announced that ft would operate the ferry, and charge the Shriners only 25 conta This didn't appeal to Capt, An derson, who said he would forbid the ferry's entering the parade. He contended it was his parade and it boats not approved by him artic! pate. | At thin juncture the port commis- | sion stood up on tte hind feet and reminded the redoubtable captain that he could not by any possible chance hold a monopoly on the jlake, over which the federal gov lernment is rather supposed to have jurisdiction. Will Enter Ferry Anyway It also reminded him that the Lascht is a municipal ferryboat and that whether he liked it or not, the port commission intended to efter it in the night's festivities carrying passengers at two-bits a head There the matter rests. Lake Washington Thursday night will mirror a pyrotechnic display of bursting bombs and rockets and beacon fires such as has never be fore been seen in Seattle-——and for the entertainment of Shriners. A flotilla of steamers will carry the visitors out to points of In terest. Bands will play and the firing of the “Old Glory” bomb, in itself a masterpiece of the fire works maker, will announce the be ginning of festivities at 7:30 At this signal the steamers will drop into single file formation, in a half circle off Leschi park, and then glide slowly towards Madison park rated and filuminated, hovering about them like a flock of sea gulls There will be beacon fires on the in a constant glare The parade will go over a course which will require three hours to traverse.
