HRAISEDo DRAFTS.
Seattle Banks Victimized by Cum
ming Crooks.

SEATTLE, May 26-To-day the Puget
Sound National Bank and First National
Bank were victimized out of $4,000 and
So, 500 respectively, by VIM. White, who
came to the city about four or five weeks
since and negotiated to purchase
real estate, representing himself as a
man of considerable property. This
morning he called on Daniel Jones, a
| wealthy dealer in real estate and said he
had several thousand dollars in nego-
table paper he desired to cash, and
asked Mr.. Jones to identify him
at the Puget Sound National Bank.
Jones consented to do this favor and
the cashier honored the following pa
pers, which afterwards proved to be
of false utterance: certificate OF
deposit of $500 on the Commercial
National Bank of Portland, raised from
$25; draft issued by Clark & Larrabee,
Butte, Mont. He also deposited what
proved to be good certificate of deposit
on the Commercial National Bank OF
Portland for $1,000. Mr.. Jones, who
had acted in good faith, left White who
went to the First National Bank, where
he was known, cashed draft on the
First National Bank of Butte City,
Mont, for $1,000, which was raised from
$25. The forging WAS bungingly ex-
ecuted, the banks were crowded with
the usual rush of Saturday customers,
and the cashiers Of neither bank sus-
pected that the checks were raised. "
At 20 this afternoon man came into
the First National Band and informed
the cashier that White was "crook, "
that he had raised a check for
$25 to 81, 500 at Aberdeen last fall. This
led to the discovery of the forgery, and
the police were put to work. White had
in the meantime got out Of the way of
the police, who were searching high
and low for him. Strange, but true,
White paid off the workmen on
his house and every debt he owed in the
city when he drew $4,000 from the Puget
Sound National Bank. He returned
1884 to Cashier Furth with the
request that 1t be applied to
pay off the balance of a mortgage
on his lots. 1t is suspected that Whites
trip was especially for the purpose of Sc
curing small drafts so that he might

TIE era OF great ilrigation schemes has

The era OF great irrigation schemes has
evidently get in for Southern California.
Just now it looks as if the northern end
of Los Angeles county would be specially
favored. Out in the San Fernando val
ley the Porter Land & Water Company
are constructing two reservoirs to hold
fifty million gallons of water each. Ante
lore Valley also promises to come in for
a pleasant irrigating deal, the Messrs.
Fillmore and Doughty, of the Southern
Pacific Railway Company, being credited
with the design of diverting enough water
from the Mojave river to irrigate thirty
thousand acres of that somewhat ne
elected region. The Government of the
United States has at last shown some in
terest in the matter; and, with individual
snd national effort united, we are en-
titled to lock for great things in
the near future on lands here
tofore supposed to be almost worth
less from lack of sufficient rainfall.
Mr.. Judah, the engineer to whose genius
the Coast owes the inception of the
Central Pacific Railway, always had a
strong conviction that, at some day, all
the cations leading from the sierras
would be damned, and that the inn
prisoned waters would be employed in
fertilizing the arid lands OF California.
What at the time was mere forecast
has since been largely realized, and it
will be fully verified in the next twenty
years.

COLONEL THOMAS GATES, who has been

as grain and fruit region, the valley is
one of the best in the State. 1t is we'll

higher benches, and the rainfall is over
the average for Southern California in
the valley. The soil is rich, and in some
places vegetables and certain fruits ma

very thriving agricultural population in
that region when the merits of the
country become better known.

INTERSTATE Commissioners.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The Interstate
commerce commission to-day issued a
lengthy circular, calling the attention OF
common carriers to the provisions of recent
amendments to the interstate commerce
act and urging that special care be taken
to avoid violations thereof.
Among the declarations of the amended
portions is one to the effect that no advance
shall be made in joint rates, fares or charges,
except after ten days notice to the commits
sion, and no reduction shall be made eX-
cept after three days notice.
The time in each case is to be computed
from the day when notice of change reaches
the Office of the commission in Washington.
Transportation of passengers or freight
over continuous lines or routes operated by
more than one carrier upon through tickets
or through filling necessarily implies the
existence of joint tariffs in the future.
All advances and reductions in joint
tariffs will be given the same publicity as is
required in the case of Individual carriers.
Another amendment makes it now an in
dictable offense for any carrier to par
ticipate in the reception of compensation
either above or below the established rates
for transportation of any joint traffic what
ever. 80
The commission is required to execute
and enforce the provisions of the act and il
is made the duty of any district attorney OF
the United States, upon request of the com
mission, to institute and prosecute all neceS-
sary proceedings for that purpose.
These rules apply equally to joint and in
dividual tariffs regarding export traffic.

Disgusting Skin Diseases.

What spectacle is more disgusting than
that of a man or woman with skin disease
which shows itself in pimples or blotches
on hands, arms, face and neck! 1t is
simply impure blood. See what Brand
reth's Pills did for a chronic case:
George Chapman, Pincening, Mich, says
For four years was ii the Mounted In
fantry in the U. S. Army, residing during
that time principally in Texas. Almost all
of that time 1 had chronic skin disease,
characterized by any eruption over the
entire surface of my legs and thighs, arms
and chest. The doctors termed it eczema.
1 had given up all hopes of ever being cured,
when Brandreth's Pills were recommended
to me. 1 concluded to try them, and did
so, and have thanked God daily since then
that did so. l think used them altogether
for about three months, and by that time,
was completely cured and have never had
any trouble since. My skin is as clear as
any ones.

Refuge.
Especial to THE HERALD-EXaminer-D Dispatch
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 7.-During
the past few days u large number of New
England people, mostly from New Bedford
and other points interested in whaling, have
called upon the chief of the revenue marine
service to make inquiries regarding the es-
Establishment of the house of refuge at Point
Barrow. Alaska. Superintendent Bonnet
has not received a copy of the bill, but S
soon as he does he wiz at once commence on
the plans. 1t was at first thought that the
supervising architect of the treasury would
take charge of the plans, but he declined,
and the building will be erected under the
direction of the revenue marine.
The superintendent will in turn, delegate
this power to some officer of the service on
the Pacific coast presumably Captain
White, who is now living at Oakland, Cali
fornia, on detached service. He will have
the benefit of the service of Captain Healey,
commanding the pier, now in San Fran
cisco, and the department will be guided in
the matter by the report of these two Off
GERS as to the amount of the appropriation.
Fifteen thousand dollars will be expended
in the erection of the house and provision
ing it.
The three essential points of this work to
be considered are shelter and foed, and most
important of all fuel; the latter will be sent
from San Francisco. No clothing save an
extra supply for the four or five men who
will be in charge of the house, will be
slowed there.

LOUISVILLE, March S.-The most disas-

CURED here in seven years broke out this
noon in the basement of Klein, Cans &
Simonson's clothing house, on West Market
street In fifteen minutes the blaze had
spread through the large stores and was
leaping through the roof. Soon after the
roof fell, and a little later two large sec
tons of side walls, with one of those in the
rear of the H. Strauss dry goods house,
went down. A strong west wind was blow
ing when the rear of Strauss store fell in,
sending a mass of flames upon the loose
structures in the center of the block.
1T seemed inevitable that the block should
all burn. After a hard fight, however, the
firemen gained control and confined the
flames to the Strauss place. One fireman
was painfully, and another slightly hurt.
Klein, Cans and Simonson's loss on stock
is S2S5, 900; buildings, SCI, 600; the Newcomb
building, $4,000; Strauss stock, $40, 600;
the Churchill building, $1,000. The insur-
ance amounts to about 1855 77.
