A dated verse reflecting longing and loneliness as the speaker asks when a beloved will return. Personal emotion dominates the piece with lines about missing companionship, an empty town, and the ache of waiting. Copyright 1921 Beattie Star.
A 1921 opinion argues that the rise of auto buses threatens steamboats and rail interurban lines. It suggests public works regulation may curb buses, but notes people choose service they prefer at fair prices. The piece urges Green to improve service rather than fight mobility shifts. It emphasizes consumer choice and quality as decisive factors.
A visitor documents the contrast between fir, spruce, and hemlock forests and miles of stripped hillsides near a logging camp in Western Washington. Debris and broken timber line the landscape as heavy machines move logs, prompting reflections on civilization and reforestation prospects. The piece also jabs at political talk and a tangential note about Governor Hart and a pun.
A Congress record excerpt discusses rural price discrimination by a Buffalo area butter packer. Rudolph Miller, a Macon Missouri creamery operator, faced a system where the packer paid farmers 24 cents per pound for butter fat while selling creamery butter back to Miller at inflated margins. Miller pursued legal action, leading to a 1914 Supreme Court ruling that fined the packer $5,000, yet discriminatory practices persisted.
A satirical piece notes that many movie girls are out of work while press agents boast of culinary skills and success stories, contrasting claims with reality and the public image of leaders.
The editor invites letters from readers and promises space for concise respectful correspondence. Submissions should address subjects of general citizen interest.
A Seattle merchant letter to The Star reports that the Washington Flankers' association forms a committee to push California banking law reforms. The writer urges banks to expedite rediscounts, stop fueling eastern and foreign paper, and keep surplus deposits for Washington loans and local industries.
A letter to The Star argues a fair petition rule for local street work. It proposes residents sign five times to counter non residents objections and suggests non residents veto limits to ten per cent, aiming to balance homebuilders needs with speculative landowners.
A reader criticizes The Star editorial on a coroner verdict absolving a woman who ran over a child. The letter argues ignorance of the law is no excuse and calls for manslaughter charges to curb reckless driving.
A reader writes in support of detective Tennant and calls for public backing and funding to pursue a Seattle crime case. The letter praises Tennant, urges full public support, and argues no expense should deter bringing a murderer to justice.
A parable of a steam train shows the engineer delaying a start to gain momentum. By backing up slightly and easing into motion, each car contributes slack, allowing the whole train to surge forward. The tale notes many fail by forcing forward without this patience, while the wise learn to back up and then proceed.
Ferrier endures a night of bluff and betrayal as Joan shifts with Major and Hastings. A drugged drink and a vanished belt signal a trap. Ferrier awakes to a dawning room of chaos, a ruined trust, and a future darkened by deceit. He recalls Micky’s nursing in Canada and faces an uncertain, bleak departure.
