On Wednesday we had quite a talk with
Mr. "A. brown, the well known stable man

Brown informed us that between 400
and 400 men were now scattered in the
various grading camps between Medical
Lake and Davenport, and men and teams
From Cheney TO Medical Lake the grade
has been completed. Hunt has

six sub'contracting camps. On last FRI
day the last two and half miles Of grade
was let, bringing the road right into
Davenport, the contractor now having his
camp established at Mr.. Woodin's two
miles east OF town. One contractor, who
has up to last Saturday night been in the
employ OF the Seattle and Lake Shore
Road, has taken sixteen miles west from
the old town OF Fairweather, near Capp's
postofice, and moved his entire outfit
there to commence work.

AN HONEST REDUCTION.

The democrats have proclaimed, In
season and out Of season, that in at
tempting reduction Of the tariff, they
are prompted solely by a desire to reduce
the revenues of the government. They
have all along protested that they intend
ed no attack upon the industries Of the
country and have dsclaimed, with some
attempt at indignation, the title Of free
traders, to which their ticket, their plat
form, and their leadership entities them.

they have generally tackled on the preten.

THE BADGER GAME.
where the Twain are surprised by An
Alleged Husband, who Extorts
Money.

The town has criminal sensation In
the revival OF what used to be known as
the badger game. The polio department
has been suppressinR its knowledge on
the subject in the hope Of driving out the
renewed evil without publicity. but vic
tins have for n month become more and
more Numerous, and some of them are
well known gentlemen of wealth and So
ciety. In the old times, when the police
commissioners were creatures of Bill
Tweed, and the dect,ve department
wss potoriously corrupt, the badger
game in its various phases was au In.
sutton of the metropolis. IN one OF the
famous exposes of official corruptness,
witnesses testified that u superintendent
and an inspector of police stood outside o
house at night writing for their share Of
the plunder Of an inyeigled inmate. But
of late years ii has been the boast OF the
department that the peculiar forms Of rob.
berry in question had been eliminated al.
together from New York life.
"Handsome" Harrie Ross and Jessie
Smith we're the revivalists of the badger
game. Harry had been a bunco oper.
ator and a 1reen-goods' swinder, lie
was noted for his good looks, being a
six footer with the face of an Adonis
and the manners OF polished gentleman.
Jessie was an equally pleasant sight In
a feminine way. for she was young and
very stylish. These two are supposed 10
have begun work together not more than
three months ago. Their scheme was
bold in conception and operation. They
would 90 to tirst.cass hotel, register
as husband and wife under some as
sumed name, and deport themselves in the
house with decorous dignity-.'except that
Jessie would, at the first opportunity, be-.
gin an apparently sly Irritation with some
transient guest. Usually she picked out a
Western or Southern merchant on bust.
ness visit to the city. Full of ambition
for sentimental conquests, and hattered
by the covert attention of so comely q
Young woman, he would lose no time In
making her acquaintance. She would
angle adroitly, and without much delay
land her fish in her room. There the
couple would be 'surprised'' by
the entrance of the pretended
husband, whose stimulated rage
OF jealousy scared the dupe half out
of his wits, and made him only TOO glad
TO buy escape at u price rarely less than
$500 and often much more. Certainly
four of the Broadway hotels were thus
used by Harry and Jessie without sus'
picion on the part of the landlords. But
the success of the venture was learned
by one after. another of the pro-
fessional confidence operators. and In
speotar Byrnes now admits to your cor.
respondent that dozen couples have
gone into the business. Some OF them
are far less discriminate in their work,
however, and several have dropped to
the level of decoying drunken men from
the street. That was what drew the at
