PLACER BLANKS QUARTZ BLANKS Fur Salt: at The Echo office UEATH OF FRANK BtSH Very Suddenly Wednesday Morning In a Bear Room of the Big Rock Saloon, Frank Bush, a Grand Army veteran and one of the oldest citizens iD this vicinity, died between 3 o'clock and i daylight Wednesday morning, as near las can be ascertained at the age of 67 i years.

The excessive use of tobacco and other stimulents is believed to have affected his heart and caused that organ 10 fail to perform its function. He made his home near Chiwaukum, where he owned a ranch, but for the past two or three weeks he has I about town and had been drinking conj siderable. Mr. Herder, who is employ, ed in the Big flock, says Bush told him on Tuesday that he was hick. Wee: day morning about 3 o'clock one of the men employed in the saloon put Bust to bed in a room back of the barroom.

Between 6 and 7 o'clock that morning Mr. Herder called Bush, not getting- an answer he entered the room and found him in the bed From the best information obtainable Mr. Bush came here between 1887 and 1890. For some time he held the. position of timber inspector for the government.

Some six years ago he lost his wife. For the last few yerrl he has followed the occupation of timber cruiser and locator. "He was a man some two inches over six feet and had the appearance of one with a robust constitution. In his younger days ha must have been a very giant in strength. He had many friends and enjoyed the confidence of all with whom he had business trans-actions.

The remains have been taken charge of by Undertaker Keating who will prepare the body for burial Mr. Bush originally came from Pennsylvania. He Is also said to have a brother in Mt Vernou, Wash. On account of the manner of death it was deemed advisable by McCoy, the county coroner, to hold an inquest. The verdict returned was "Death from natural causes." The body has been embalmed and will beheld until relatives can be heard from.

Pratt, secretary of he Taeoma Oharnbpr of Commerce, his efforts to make the visitors feel heir welcome, assisted by one of the tost pleasing personalities it has ever our fortune to meet, Mrs Pratt, vill not soon be forgotten by the newsiaper men who attended the convene ion. The writer has said this much about Facoma and Mr. Pratt and his gracious vile with no intention of being fulsome, imply because he en-joyed the stay and he easy natural manners of the lady md gentleman who took so much rouble to make their guests comfortable and their visit to the city pleasant.

Lack of space forbids Our giving a account of the proceedings, and as hey were printed in the daily press pom day to day the public is generally atailiar with the important transacious. The principle of the meeting vas transacted on Tuesday morning, the afternoon a reception was held a the Elks' Club rooms, and in the ivening the members of the Assoclaiou ended the theater. The forenoon of Wensday was spent seeing Tacoroa. The street railway lompany placed three of its largest ars at the disposal of the editors. If Jr.

Pratt failed to call our attention to tojthiog of importance, or improveneutunder way or contemplated, it an oversight. He is an enthusiastic booster for his city. We learned rom him that Tucoma had doubled in in the past three ypars. I'liut she has some fourteen mi I of street railway under construction. Xti have forgotten how many miles of treets are being paved under contract, naiiy all the paving being done with toncrt'te, in a icost substantial manner.

The residence tt-r If keeping pace, if cot going ihead, of the business section, which All $1.00 Per Year lis a heathy indication of growth. Some handsome residences are going up on the bay view from. The Taooma smelter, which employs more than a thousand men, has recently computed second tailest smoke stack In the United States.

It is built entirely of concrete reinforced with steel rods. This Is one of the largest and most prosperous institutions in Tacozna, which gives every evidence of Hal growth and future prosperity. I Indeed, why should it not? There Is room on Puget Sound for both Tmooma and Seattle to become cities as large as Chicago. In I'oint Defiance park Tacoma has an attraction that is not equalled by that of any city in the northwest. Who visits Tacoma without seeing Point Defiance park would go to Egypt and never see the pyramids.

At the park pavlllion luncheon was served. After which Congressman Cushman, who had just returned from Washington, made a brief address. The afternoon was spent in a trip nearby points around the Sound in the Steamer Vashon. In the evening a reception was held at the Hotel Taooma, at which Governor Mead delivered address in the course of which he declared himself in favor of the direct primary. Thursday morning the entire party went out on the Tacoma Eastern to Mineral lake, in Lewis County, where luncheon was served and where also the last formal meeting of the Association was held.

The officers for the ensuing year were elected and Everett decided on as the next place of meeting. -juUi'xi Friday morning the Kitsap Transportation tendered the use to all who could avail themselves of the opportunity, of a trip by the west passage to Seattle on their new steamer Kitgap. The Kitsap hud just been completed by a Portland shipbuilding company and had not then been turned over to her owners. She is one among the handsomest vessels on the Sound, elegantly finished and furnished and was built with a view to developing a high rate of speed. Her performance on the trip, iho not crowded at all, indicated her owners would not be dissapolnted.

W. L. Gazzam, the manager of the company, took great delight in showing the editors thru the boat, of which he seemed justly proud. iadi i At Seattle the party was taken charge by some of the local members of the newspaper profession and members of the Chamber of Commerce and given a luncheon and trolley ride to and other of interest, winding up with an invitation to inspect the battleship Nebraska, extended by the Moran builders, which was accepted, after which the members separated and departed for their respective homes. Poets may slug, and orators about, And Contribute a bit to our pleasure, But sure are we that Taonma sod Pratt Have given us Jo; without measure.

May Tacoma and Pratt Wax great, and grow fat, With all that mak-i life worth living, Right glad to confess Is the wish of the Press And hope they had pleasure In firing. Ownership by the Chicago's recent municipal election! may be takes as an Indication that the, people are In earnest In the matter, of owning and controlling public UtUltlaa. This is something entirely dlfsrosit from operating those utilities. Naturally a people so Independent at the American chafes at seeing rateable franchises and monopolies practically given away and the public which makes them valuable treated cc a mere convenience. Chicago's vote for CUj ownership and against operation by the city draws a line just where other communities will draw it until public service In this country Is divorced from poll- tics.

Mayor Dunn's Glasgow on municipal railways warned Cnlcaga against the evil of politics, and it la this matter of operation that the political evil will strike. When our Ideals of public service have become clearer and cleaner communities can run enc- cessfully anything which they are able to own and maintain. A step la that direction Is the public control of corporations which operate the nttlltlesv, and in some cases that control can only be Insured when the corporation la a lessee, with the municipality as owner. Ti The man who was arnatat throwing ten and twenty dollar Mis about in a Chicago park turned to bo a stranger within the was thought that Is the way everybody ado in Chicago. Andrew Carnegie will spend the worn- met at Eklbo castle, where there are no Georgia ladles who long for the that soothes aad satiates..
