The tugboat crew pulled the help- less couple aboard, dried their clothing and gave them large quan titles of strong, black coffee, after which they were landed near Seward park, to catch a street car.

Turning ‘out a’ it 8a.m., they swung into the’task of building a temporary road into the park so that auto- ists from King and Pierce counties could get into the place and see the beauties that their contributions will help to get. The heat of the warmest day of the year. compelled the volunteer crew to “knock off” about the middle of the afternoon, for back in the woods, with brush fires going, it was almost unbearable. Dripping with sweat, and so tired from their zealous efforts that they could hardly drag one leg after the other, the crew still could smile as they ‘checked out,” and say: “Too bad we couldn't finish her up today, but we're coming back and clean up the job. after the park is We'll all be glad, there, that we made the sacrifice.” The roadway into the park isn’t all completed, but it is now possible to get far enough into it, by the new roadway, to see and appreciate the natural beauty that the park has to offer. evening.

Monday got a three degree, head start, on Sunday, the weather bu- reau reported. At 4 a. m, Sunday the thermometer touched 56, while Monday morning it was up to 59. A.northwesterly wind sprang up during the forenoon Monday and the forecasters declared that this might temper the heat. Sunday's temperature came within one degree of surpassing the record of 1923, as the hottest day last year, from readings on the top of the Hoge building, was but 88 degrees. The heat Sunday brought almost all of Seattle's population out of doors. Parks and bathing beaches were crowded and others swarmed to beauty spots along the mountain streams and lakes in the surround ing territory, PORTLAND, June 30.—The ther- mometer today started to climb again towards another high mark under a burning sun.

The totals were: McAdoo, 444 6-10; Smith, 278. Both showed gains over the totals for the eighth ballot. Chairman Walsh announced at 4:45 that immediately after an- nouncement of the results of the ninth ballot, just taken, he would entertain a motfon’ for adjournment until evening—for the 10th ballot on which “McAdoo will go over,” his managers claim, will be taken.

As the balloting proceeded, it was the belief of many that both McAdoo and Smith had reached their peak vote and that a. switch to another candidate would be necessary to break the deadiock. OIL. INDICTMENTS ARE ANNOUNCED At the conclusion of the sixth ballot Senator Pat. Harrison took the chair and read to the convention a dispatch from Washington an- nouncing the indictments of former Secretary of the Interior Fall, Harry Fy Sinclair and E. L.

The band played, and then ‘the delegates settled down to take one more ballot. The first two ballots revealed that the old Jim Reed-anti-Reed fight still thrives in Missouri. The Reed delegates in the Missouri delegation objected to being bound by the unit rule, and having their, votes cast for McAdoo. After a poll of the delegation on the first ballot, the same demand was made on the second.
