A reader signs as WwW. W. Grow to Jr., Seattle, asking The Star to interpret a dream about social groups and prohibition. He lampoons “rich” and “diplomats” enjoying special privileges, calls himself a goat, and references Peter’s refusal to drink with a law breaker. The dream ends with his bottle going dry and a jest about angels.

A Star editor outlines a city fare dilemma in Seattle citing census homes 80,048 and 69,052 potential revenue homes. Maj. Reeves records 7,938,139 August fares, arguing four fares daily yields 48.65 yearly per home, while council actions place a heavy burden with no municipal ownership.
