Meacham is chief machinist mate in the naval reserve, and he spent two weeks on the boat. ‘When the boat ran. short of ice it would draw along ‘Taku glacier and reservists would dis- lodge huge pieces of ice by firing into it. This ice was then taken from the water and used aboard ship. At Juneau Herbert J.

Jackson and Miss Sather pursued them, calling for help. They went as far as Eighth and Pine, where Jackson fired several shots at them. ‘The bandits returned the fire, but none of the bullets took effect. The chase continued, but finally the andits escaped. The police organized a search for the robbers, guarding all the high- ways leading out of town, but the highwaytmen did not attempt to run the blockade. Several hours after the holdup an envelope containing $519 in checks and 34 $1 bills was found on corner of Ninth ave, and Union st., a half block from the taxicab of- fice, where {t apparently had been thrown by the robbers.

Fowler, administrator of the estate that owns the 90-acre site two miles south of Des Moines. That means that Seattle and Tacoma folks are “over the hump” in the campaign to raise sufficient funds to buy this wonderful piece of park land and turn it over to the state for development and maintenance. Tt means that for the next 30 days the two Seattle real estate men, who have been waiting on the side- lines for the people’s option to expire, will have to cool their heels outside. The two firms are eager to “cash in” on the publicity tne park site has received by bity- ing it up and developing it asia private park. Hundreds of Seattle men and women have contributed to the park fund, to make this $1,800 down payment possible. The big majority of the subscriptions have been in small amounts—from $1 up. Several have been in sufas from $100 to $300, | We need more of those, folks. We need them to insure success for the park. We need them to keep Tacoma from going ahead of us.
