The log rolled and he was plunged into the water, At this moment the near-tragedy took on the aspects of a comedy, as the water reached only to Pierce's shoulders.

The resolution passed by the Seattle Sportsmen's as- sociation, reads: “Whereas, the creation of a state salt water park as proposed by The Seattle Star offers a much needed game and bird refuge and sanctuary, and automatically becomes such when accepted by the state park board, be it resolved by the Seattle Sportsmen's association that we heartily indorse the movement and pledge our 1,000 members to do their bit in securing it.” The resolution was signed by Dr. M. A, Winningham, | president, and A. J. Beach, secretary | Funds were continuing to roll in Thursday at the Auto club headquarters, 416 University st., where all contributions are being received. The plan, briefly, is this: Seattle and Tacoma citi- zens, jointly, are raising $15,000 to purchase a 90-acre tract two miles south of Des Moines, which will be turned over to the state park board for a state park. It runs from the Tacoma high line to the Sound, has an excellent salt water bathing beach and will provide parking and picnicking grounds for more than 10,000 families of the two cities, as well as tourists, The state is contributing $3,000 toward the purchase price. It will improve and maintain the park as soon as title is turned over to the state. The park is midway between Seattle and Tacoma, and can be reached by bus from both cities. The Star would like to see EVERYBODY in Seattle contribute, even if the donation is no more than $1.
