The city of Seattle is one of the most beautifully and commodiouuy situated cities in America. Puget

- sound. its ingress and egress with

the outside world. is a land locked and land protected bay large en- ough to provide anchorage for all the ships of all the navles in the; world. As a matter of fact severar of the most powerful warships and ttcarriera" of the British Navy were, repaired safely at the great naval base of Brcmerton. a short run) down the sound from Seattle.

The eitv was named after a re-J vered Indian chief "Seattle" who. in the very early days of settle-', merit saved the small population) from a well planned massacre by; hostile Indian tribes. It is one of) the fastest growing of the many. fast growing cities of America.

It is laid out in squares like New York City. Avenues and cross streets are known by numbers. The streets. are wide and locolnotion is com-' paratlvely fast. One must step cir- cumspectly and lively in order not; to be struck by moving vehicles.

tented at night by all approach from the ”Sound" is hard to dup-I licate. The terrain has a gradual. ri from the waterfront for several! ml es. and every street light in the; city seems to he visible. Many of the tall buildings are brilliantly,- iighted also. '.

The natural topography of the city site was quite hilly. but at the. beginning of the century the city fathers engaged in a system of "hydraulics" which sluiced the hills through large steel pipes down grade into the waterfront part oil the harbor. In this way many mil-1 lions worth of property were added to the working capital of the city.) It was all done by "gravity" force) and was comparatively cheap.

One of the rivers in the higher land some miles away was "tap-J ped" by a large dltcll which carried; the water into a pipe. which be-. comes a giant siphon, keeping a- steady flow over hill and hollow: provided always that the oirtiet is lower than the intake. When that. water with hundreds of feet or gravity force behind it. is directed through large hose and nozzle. iL( strikes with force enough to tear down clay banks very fast - even moves boulders weighing hundreds of pounds.

A natural sluice way is formed in the clay and bedrock. and the water. clay and rock is directed into another pipe which carries it to the waterfront. In later years re- volving rubber belts are being used to transport the hills into the har- bor. The belts are propelled at about six or seven miles per hour. Those belts are moderll adaptations of the ancient China belt in common use at the dawn of Christendom. Those belts are Jeing used exten- sively during the last few years ast purveyors of ore and other com- modities to the holds of freight-

mrrying ships.

Numerous freshwater lakes with- .n the city limits enhance the bean- ,ly and diversity of the scenery. A tsystem of "locks" has been devised whereby large ocean going ships are floated into the fresh water lakes. The living organisms called barrlacles and other salt water fun- gs are removed by the action of the fresh water-making the lvork and expense of dry docking un- necessary. The lakes within the

vcity provide fine facilities for boat- ing and bathing. The "cable" cars' for the high. steep grades were quite an oddity. but very jerky and jumpy. It was another adaptation of the old China belt system. but

the belt was -. steel articulated anal slotted cable. The cable ran con- tinuously between the cobbleston

of the street. in a narrow slot. On grades where it was required to stop. the car was held by its

The University of Washington and the high schools were comparat- ively new and up-to-date. The high schools appeared tn be also voca- tional schools. The Lincoln High School had full fledged blacksmith. carpentry and other trades mom in a number of buildings in the rear of the big school.

It costs little to equip a team. only a catchers mitt. a first base glove, several balls and bats being the re- quirements.

Magic Holds

EPBOM, .8urrey, England. Ma 28 - (GP) - The racing luck oi the Aga Khan worked its old magic today as Tulyar. a game and gritty brown colt. came bowling home in the ifiird Epsom Derby, with his- Canadlan-owned tsblemate among the also-rans.

came down to 20-1 in the market today. But the wise money came thick and fast for Tulyar. bringing

; the son of the wartime St. Leger l winner Tehran down from I00-7 to

finish an extremely firm favorite at SE5-l.

Both Tulyar and Indian Hemp are trained by Marcus Marsh but in England slablemates do not run as an entry.

Unbeaten in his three previous l-aces this season. at distances rang- ing from seven iurlongs to in miles. Tulyar was overlooked bv some of the selectors because he was supposed to be finnicky about firm going. But Tulyar. nursed along by veteran Charlie Smirke. ran out of his race over Epsom's sun-baked turf in 2:36 25 seconds. just un- der three seconds off the fastest derby time of 2:33 -U5 seconds set up by Mahmoud. also owned by the Aga Khan. in 1936. .

The race basis at an internation- nl sweepstake. drew more than 200.- 000 fans to this popular Surrey course for the biggest racing out- ing of the season. The result was a triumph for British bloodstock. the first two horses being bred in the United Kingdom. Faubourg if was the only French invader to run prominently as Bob Mator and Hold Buccaneer filled fourth and fifth

At the meeting it was stated that intermediate teams might be formed in New'Brunawlck and if this is so there is no reason why there could not be intermediate teams formed here. Last year the Air Force team from Sumnlel-side won the Maritime tri-service crown and we venture to predict that they could give any intermediate team a strong go.
