PARK OFFICIALS TO STUDY GOLF QUESTION
BOARD
WANTS
FACTS
■Secretary (kwer reported
. to tlie park board al today's
meeting that he had taken
up with Secretary Cotterill,
of the Seattle park board, the
* matter of estobllshlng a mu
n i(-4I>a I Kolf course here.
He nought from <'<>iiei'ill
farts concerning cosln of es
tablishment, upkeep, and the
amount of public interest
there.
It la regarded as certain '.hat
Cotterill will reply favorably, as
Seattle's one course has been to
satisfactory llm I the construction
of two more is being considered.
Gower declared tlie public, If
It wanted the municipal cour.se
..lii-re, should Inform the board so.
At present, it is uncertain nn.'.
general a demand there Is for
the course.
The board was unanimous that
the Pt. Defiance course would not
do. Not only would the cost of
clearing the land be heavy, but
It was the attitude of the board
that not one tree should he ut
from the park for any purpose.
"The SpaliHway park
course Is ideal," Secretary
(lower told the board. ''It
» could scarcely lie better.
Once I tried to buy It for the
Tacoma <;<>lf and Country
club, I considered It so
good."
The question of establishing a
course was kepi under advise
ment, pending advices from Sec
retary Cotterill of Seattle, and
indications as to local sentiment.

BUY A SWAGGER CANE
AND AID LOCAL WIFE
AND CHILD OF CON VICT
By A. J. Eldred
H Anyone in Tacoma want to buy
a cane?
Not an ordinary cane, like the
wrlat-wateherß wear.
But a cane made with infinite
care, by a Tacoma convict, now iv
Walla Walla.
If there is any such person, he
can buy the ornament—and It is
a real ornament —with the knowl
edge that the money derived from
* the sale will go to the help of a
Tacoma woman and her baby—
tbe wife and child of a Tacoma
offender.
The cane la made of cardboard,
ateel and stiver. The cardboard

WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 11.
—Order and safety in Mexico
were looked for today by ultt.e
department officials.
Carranza, already promised
recognition by the Pan-American
powers, apparently was well *ble
to handle the situation.
From Northern Mexico, where
Villa is In control, came word'
that foreigners were nervous over
Villa's statement that he cju'.d no
longer be responsible for tieir
safety. But It was generally be
lieved that thero would be no
outbreaks; and that he meant
simply that now the legal re
sponsibility for protecting them
fell on Carranza, ihe recognized
head of the republic.

his formal sanction to Secretary
Lansing's action or Saturday in
extending a recommendation that
Carranza be recognized as presi

CHICAOO, Oct. 11—For the

Great Suffrage Fight
is Coming to a Focus
NEW TORE, Oct. 11.—Millions
of women are marching to put a
white spot on the eastern map—
a spot that will indicate New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Massachusetts as equal suf
rrage states!
Politicians' eyes will be focused
on these states until atfer tne
last election on Nov. 2.
Should the states "vote right"
(from the women's standpoint),
nine million new voters will be
added to the voting body in the
United States. Nine million n«w
voters will take part in the presi
dential election ot 1916.
The electoral college will in
clude voters from 15 equal suf
frage stateß. The woman vote
will represent approximately thir
teen million ballots as the esti
mated vote in the 11 suffrage
states is now 4,000,000.
Women suffrage no longer will
be considered a "western eccen
tricity," It will be a national po
litical factor without geographical
limitations.
The New Jersey election, to he
held next Tuesday, will mark the
first onslaught of the suffrage
forces on the rock-ribbed, reac

The election will be notable be

Superintendent Andrew Holmes
of the Nisqualiy municipal elec
tric plant at. !_«. Grande today was
ousted from office by the city
council, sitting as a committee of
the whole.
His place will be taken Jan. 1
by one of the present operators
at the power plant, whose salary
will be Increaaed from $100 to
$125, and who will acquire the
title ot "chler operator."
A broadside attack on the
light department, with the idea
of cutting out all superfluous as
sistants and expenses, was begun
by Mayor Fawcett.
Out 91,000 Item, Too.
The remainder of the council,
who committed themselves in fa
vor of putting the city depart
ments on a business basis, at the
time of the recent budget prun
ing, had to fall In line, to be con
sistent. 1
Mayor Btartn It.
Mayor Fawcett opened hig cru
sade upon the light department's
payroll two minutes after the
budget bad been taken up.
"I move the elimination of the
I v pel I n ten dm t at La Grande pow
er house, and the appointment of
a head operator from the present
operators, at $IX6 a month," of
fered Fawcett.
Andrew Holmes, the present
superintendent, gets $160. Each
of the operators gets $100. By
the mayor's motion. Holmes
would be eliminated, and a aav
ing of $125 a month, or $1,000
a year, would Ire effected.
Calls Him Figurehead.
Electrical Superintendent Col
lins offered a brief objection to
tbe change, but had no retort
when the commisisoners asked
whether or not the elimination
of Holmes would Impair the effi
ciency of the plant.
"Every other erectrlc plant in
the country la managed by the
bead operator," said Mayor Faw
cett. "This superintendent Is a
figurehead. He isn't needed.
"There are three superlntead
enta in the light department now
— Collins, Arquette and Holmes.
That looks to me like a ridiculous
waste of money. If we're going
on « business basis, let'a go, and
forget about personalities. It Isn't
firing men for inefficiency—it's
cutting down our operating ex
