Seattle a City on Hills
Aside from the attractions at the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific show there Is
much to »cc in Seattle itself.
- Seattle, the largest city in the north
west, is built on a series of hills over
looking Elliott bay, one of the land
locked arms of Puget sound. It is a
typical western city of western "energy
and rapid growth. Since the Klondike
discoveries in the Northwest Territory,
the later gold discoveries in Alaska and
the 'beginning of the development of
Puget .sound trade with the Orient, it
has gone forward by leaps until from
a population of 43,000 in 1890 it has
grown to a city of 250,000 or more. Tho
city limits have been extended, taking
in Ballard, West Seattle and Bast Se
attle.
Like many of the localities in the
northwestl and particularly in the state
of Washington, its name is an Indian
one. It was given in honor of Chief
Seattle, or Bealth, as it is sometimes
written. The old chief was a respected
friend of the whites, even when others
of the natives counseled hostilities. It
was through his efforts largely that
the relations of the settlers and aborig
ines on Puget sound were usually
peaceable.
The old chief himself has been dead
many years, but up until a few years
ago the bent and decrepit figure of his
daughter, Princess Angeline, was a fa
miliar one on the streets of tho city,
when she too died. In attendance at
her funeral were many of the pioneers
of early days, now among the most
prominent men of the city. A huge
boulder of rouch granite marks her
resting place in Lako' View cemetery.
Fine Parks There
In and about Seattle are a number of
fine parks. On the shores of Lake
Washington are Madison, Madrona and
Leschi—none of them more than twenty
minutes' ride from the heart of the
city The shores about and between
the three are lined with the house
boats of summer residents from May
till long into the fall.
At Madison and Lesehi during the
summer, on alternate evenings, Wag
ner's Second Regiment band gives con
certs. Woodland park, about five miles
from the city on Green lake, Is reached
by trolley cars. Green lake itself is a
small body of water, plentifully stocked
with trout. Ravenna park is a natural
park, about the same distance from
the city, on the state university car
line. A mineral spring Is one of its
attractions.

The identity of the burglars who blew
open and looted the safe In postofflce

Detectives are working on the case

PROPOSE EXTRA
FIRE DISTRICT
SECTION OF SEVENTH WARD
TO BE INCLUDED
WEST SIDE PROPERTY OWNERS
WANT NO CHANGE
Building Committee Believes Innova
tion There Would Result in Long
Controversy being Set
on Foot
Proposed changes in the fire limits
were considered last night by the
building committee of the city council,
aided by a number of property owners
from the sections involved. As a re
sult the western and southern limits
were left unchanged, but a section in
the Seventh ward, south of Third and
east of San Pedro streets to the boun
daries of the fire limits, will be rec
ommended to the council as a sec
ondary district.
It is proposed In this District No. 2,
as It will be called, to permit frame
additions not in excess of $1500 or
above 20 per cent of the main build
ing's valuation, and to allow the rais
ing of frame structures with the
building of brick additions underneath
them. This was urged by Councilman
Lyon, T. J. McGinley, president of the
Seventh Ward Improvement associa
lton, and E. J. Baldwin.
Building Inspector J. J. Backus said
he had drawn up the ordinance and
proposed changes at the request of the
building committee, and was opposed
to any changes unless they should be
along the line of an extension of the
fire limits.
John A. Rice, former Councilman
Fran': Walker, Dr. W. A. Lamb and
Lawrence Holmes spoke against any
addition to the flre limits on the west
side. "The northwestern section Is the
most neglected and abused part of the
city," said Mr. Holmes. "If you ex
tend the fire limits after all ejse that
has been put upon us there would be
nothing left but for us to let our prop
erty be taken for taxes and then move
away from the city."
Allison Barlow spoke In favor of the
extension, saying it would tend to pre
vent the erection of small shacks and
materially benefit the improvement of
the section involved.
The building committee was of the
opinion that a move to change the
limits would open the way toward a
long controversy, and voted for the
Seventh ward secondary district only
because Councilman Lyon and his con
stituents assured them that they would
be glad to run the risk of any result
ing raise in Insurance rates.
The council held a short meeting be
fore the session of the building com
mittee to allow the payroll of the
park and street departments.
MUSIC
A CROWDED house greeted the
Woman's Lyric club last night at
Sympson auditorium when, under
the direction of J. B. Poulln, the or
ganization gave the first concert of its
fifth season.
The program, which was well ar
ranged and one of the most enjoyable
ever given by the club, opened with
the chorus "With Revels and Wassails"
(Woodman), and that in turn by the
following club numbers: "Soft, Soft
Wind" (Gaul), "Betrothal Dance"
(Hemberger), "God in Nature" (Schu
bert), "Across the Fleld3 to Anne"
(Clough-Lotghter), "Ashes of Roses"
(Woodman), waltz from "Faust" (Gou
nod).
The second selection, "Soft, Soft
Wind," was rendered without accom
paniment, while the beautiful Schubert
number, "God In Nature," Mrs. Ada
Marsh Chick at the organ, furnished a
beautiful and fitting accompaniment,
assisted by Miss O'Donoughue at the
piano. v
"Ashes of Roses" was In some re
spects the gem of the evening, although
"Across the Fielda to Anne" won an
enthusiastic reception, with the quar
tet features rendered by Mrs. Robert C.
Rankln, Mrs. J. I. Moyse, Mrs. Robert
Adams and Mrs. George Sloan.
Throughout the evening the audience
received each number with spontaneous
and generous applause.
The club was assisted by Miss Leonia
Virginia Kellam, who responded to an
encore after her programed selection,
Strauss' "Serenade," and by Mrs. Eva
Young Zobelein, whose beautiful con
tralto voice was heard In two love
songs by Friml in the native tongue of
the Bohemian composer, for which Mr.
Friml played the accompaniment. In
response to an insistant demand for
"more," Mrs. Zobelein, playing her own
accompaniment, sang a German bal
lad.
Miss Mary L. O'Donoughue, the club
accompanist, ably supported the cho
rus.
Two groups of piano selections by the
Bohemian composer, Rudolf Friml, de
lighted everyone, and applause long
and loud and insistant filled the hall
after each appearance. Friml returned
only to bow his thanks for the appre
ciatlon accorded his program numbers,
which were an a, b and c number of
Moszkowskl, "Caprice Espagnoll," "Et
incelles" (Sparks) and "Valse," and
Rubinstein's "Staccato Etude" and
Liszt's "Polonaise No. 2, E major."

gram rendered was most artistic, giv
ing each artist an opportunity for solo
and ensemble work.
This evening at Simpson auditorium
the trio will render a recital program
constituting the second event of the
Philharmonic course. The ability of
these artists is unquestioned, and it is
seldom that a 'cellist as talented as
Miss Mukle is found in a combination
of this character, her friendship for
Miss Powell being largely instrumental
in bringing Miss Mukle to this country.
The only concert to be given by the
Powell trio in Los Angeles this season
will take place this evening in Simpson
auditorium, with the following pro
gram:
Wienlawskl —Concerto for violin In three
movements, D Minor Allegro: Romance, a
la Zincara.
Boocherlnl —Sonata for "cello, a Major.
Chaminade —Two movements from A Mi
nor Trio, Op. 34. I<ento, Allegro Energies.
Emst —Fantaslo for violin on Airs from
Rossini's Opera. "Otello."

OBTAINS NEW HISTORY
OF JESUIT MISSIONS
Librarian Charles F. Lummis Reports
Finding Almost Priceless
Manuscript In
Chicago
The public library has secured an
other Important chronicle of the earli
est days, which Librarian Lummis re
gards as of great importance. This
is the "Historla de las Misiones Jesu
itas en la California Baja—History of
the Jesuit Missions in Lower Califor
nia," from their establishment in 1697
to 1737 by William Gordon, a Scotch-
Spanish missionary, who has given a
graphic account of this remarkable
pioneering.
The manuscript, although prepared
by a Scotchman, is good Spanish and
in a beautiful Spanish hand. His
"Historia" is a well preserved manu
script of 339 pages of his original au
tograph diary, and is owned by Ed
ward E. Ayer of Chicago, who has
loaned it to Librarian Lummis to be
copied for the Los Angeles library.
"Bancroft knew nothing about this
remarkable manuscript, which Is far
more important than most of those
upon which he does depend," said Dr.
Lummis yesterday, "and has but a
bare mention of the name of this ex
traordinary character.
"Gordon was a missionary at the
mission of Nuestra Senora del Pilar
In Lower California in 1734; and the
stirring events of the following years,
the character of the Indians, the pri
vations of the missionaries and, in
fact, a history of the whole earlier life
and customs of that region, are given
with the simplicity of manner and sin
gleness of purpose which, as Quaritch
says, 'remind one of De Foe's magical
narrative.' "
A certified copy of this work will be
made ht once for the public library,
and probably later an English trans
lation.
