A Good Road Being Buiit to the g.. l.. y.
Il. Depot.
A large number of men with teams are
at work grading the approach to the north
end of the new Washington street bridge,
adjoining the Seattle. Lake Shore & East
ern railroad tracks. The grade Is being
raised about FIVE feet. and when finished
will be on a level with the tracks. The
new bridge since it's completion has been
of little use, for the reason that the north
end opproach was in such condition that
loaded wagons could not cross. II
is the intention of the railroad com
pany to fill in between their tracks,
and put down crossings. and when these
improvements are completed there will be
an excellent highway which will prove Of
great advantage to the people residing
east of the city.
Were II possible to grade Howard street
from the second bridge across the island
to the new bridge. interesting. Washing.
ton street, it would greatly add TO these
improvements. The trouble is that the
property along this portion of Howard Is
all owned by two men. who do not care to
bear the necessarily great expense OF grad.
ing the street in front Of their property
which is as yet covered by small shanties.
Councilman Kohlhauff thinks the street
should be graded anyhow, and believes the
city has right to order it done, provided
six councilmen can be indnced to vote for
the measure,

The w.sh,pxton Ranks.

The report of the comptroller Of the cur.
reucy shows that the ratio of net earnings
to capital and surplus of the national banks
in Washington territory for the year end.
ing September l 1888, was $3.50 per cent
The ratio for Oregon was II 81 per cent,
while that of the New England states was
6.28. and for the whole country 10 WAS
S.57. In no state or territory was the
ratio AZ large as in Washington. As
stated in the report of al interview with
Samuel Collyer, cashier OF the Merchants'
National bank of this city, a few days age.
there were on the lat of September twenty
four national banks in this territory with
an aggregate capital OF 81. .S55. 900 and de-
posits of $685., ,570.6s. In Oregon there
were twepty-seven national banks With q
capital of 81, 2,360, 900 and deposits of a..
544,Sl5.3S. The ratio of earnings indi-
Gates the superior opportunities afforded in
money. and at the same time is measure
of general prosperity. Money commands
high rate OF interest only where the
profits Of the various kinds of business in
which it IL employed are high. In other
words, money. like labor, is worth what IL
will earn. The fact that it 10 earning
more in this territory than anywhere else
in the United States shows that the people
who use 1t are deriving more from its use
than the people in other states and terri
tories. This is not due /, the tact that
the amount of money per capital in this
territory ia disproportionately small. In
only thirteen of the states and territories
is the avarage amount of the capital, sur
plus, undivided profits and individual de-
posits of national and state banks, loan
and trust companies and savings sad
private banks as large as in this territory.
Only in the New England stetes, New
York. Pennsylvania. California. Montana,
larger than here.

LABOR AND MATERIAL.

Lien ON Buildings.

Those Supplying Them Are Entitled to "a
Lien ON Buildings.
The decision in the case of the Spokane
Manufacturing 4 Lumber Company vs..
McChesney and others, decided in the
supreme court at Olympia last week was
an important one as affecting the rights OF
laborers and those furnishing materials for
the construction of buildings, and the liza
bilities of owners of real estate. In this
district the rulings of the supreme court
of California mad been followed, where it
10 held that the roal estate can only be
held for labor and materials to the amount
due the contractors from the owner, for
the erection of the building, at the time
the claim OF lien il fled. This was the
uniform ruling Of the California courts.
and il was argued on behalf Of McChesney
and others, that our statute on liens was
taken from California, and that the
Interpretation OF the California courts
adopted before the enactment of the stat
contended on that side that any other rule
would, in effoct, compel the owner of the
realty who contracted for the erection of
a building to pay twice for the building,
to the extent of whatever sum he was
compelled to pay the laborers and material
men IN excess OF the amount due the con-
tractor, and that such claim 10 unconstitu.
tional.
Tie Spokane Manufacturing and Eum.
Der Company, by their attorneys, Messrs.
Hyde and Jones, appealed from the decis-
ION Of the de.islon of the district court
holding this doctrine. The supreme court
following decisions Of the supreme courts
of Nevada and New Mexico, overruled the
decision of the district court and held that
laborers and material men are entitled to
an absolute lien for their work and ma
terials.
In view OF the large amount of building
going on throughou. the territory, this de-
cision Is Of great interest to all who con-
template building, or who furnish mate
rial or work tor buildings.

Articles Of Incorporation FILED 1t seattle
Elijah Smith Among the
Inoorporstors.

Superintendent Reed, OF the Seattle
lake Shore h Eastern, yesterday said to a
REVIEW reporter when asked when work
would be commenced on the depot build
"Work will begin on both the freight
and passenger depots as soon as the
ground settles so that foundations can be
laid. In fact we are arranging for begin
ming work on vast number of improve
ments. The arrangements will all he

work begins 1t will be pushed forward
rapidly"
STILL ANOTHER ROAD.
Within the last few months Spokane
Falls has secured two new railroads-the
Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern and the
Spokane & Northern-and now there Is
every indication of another road from the
Sound to this city.
From the Seattle Journal it is learned
that articles of incorporation Of the Seat
tie & Northern Railway Company have
been fled in that city, with Il. W. Nc
Neill Fred f. Sander and Thomas j. Mil
ner as incorporators. The objects for
which this company Is formed are: 10
construct, equip, maintain and operate the
following railroad and telegraph lines.
|. A railroad and telegraph line from
the city of Seattle to Portland, Oregon, a
distance of 1856 miles.
2. A railroad and telegraph line from
the city of Seattle, in northerly direction
via the town of Whatcom, to point near
the town Of Blaine, q distance OF 100
miles.
"a railroad and telegraph line from
where the last named road crosses the
Skagit river. up the Sauk river: thence in
an easterly direction to Spokane Falls, a
distance OF about 300 miles.
A railroad and telegraph line from a
point of connection with the first named
road, where the same crosses the SkaQit
river: thence westerly via Fidalgo island
and Deception pass to Admiralty Head on
Wildly island, distance of about thirty
Ave miles. The remaining clauses give
power to do all such things as are usually
taken by railroad corporations The
capital stock is placed at rs, 100000 in So
600 shares of 800 each. The duration
and time of existence of this corporation
shall be fifty years. The first trustees,
who snail manage the affairs of the cont
pany till the third Tuesday in May, 1880.
are: Elijah Smith. Jas. II. Benedict. .Jno.
S. 1'ilney, John p. Hoyt, H. w. Mcneil,
Fred f.. Sander, and Thos. j. Milher.
The only information yet obtainable
concei nj ng the fling of the above articles
of incorporation is that instructions were
sent from New York to file these amended
articles, which differ chiefly from the
original set in that they include q line
from Seattle to Portland. The new road
as projected will reach this city by much
longer route than that traversed by the
Seattle, Lake Shore * Eastern.

"A rancher up in that country good
many years ago had domesticated lot of
wild geese. One day Condor had

the shooting and the terrified shrieks Of

Prospector's returning yesterday from

nation must seek field of less ei,ainty

You will search in vain for its location
at that time Garfield, as a town, was little
more than name. fertile spot of mother
earth not better than the thousands of
acres around it. The centre of the richest
farm land in the Palouse country and the
ultimate point Of trade for the same was
all that any one claimed for it, but with
out transportation facilities, to many this
seems improbable
Irving. in his legend OF Sleepy Hollow,
has described our school houses Of that
day, not so his description of tie inhabit-
ants, for while indifference secured the
door of the Dutch school house with a
hickory withe, necessity seated Garfield
house with rough board benches. Add to
this postotIice, a blacksmith shop, gro.
cery store, few dwellings and saloon,
which latter at this writing we have not,
and you have taken in the town." About
this time Garfield awoke one morning and
found that the o. II. Il N. Co. had built a
railroad right through the town; then
soon the N. p. quilt another road through,
"then was the winter of our discomfort
made glorious summer" and from that day
until the present Garfield has been forging
ahead, until her population has increased
many fold. her public buildings Of the best

THE GOLD STAMPEDE.
Los Angeles Losing Its Entire Floating
Population.

Population.
Los ANGELES, March S.-Local excite
ment over the discoveries of gold in Lower
California continues unabated though men
claiming experience show less enthusiasm
than the others. 1t is admitted there is
plenty of gold in that country as placers
were worked proftably there hun.
dred years ago, but the absence
of other water than accumula,.
tions of winter rains or snow is a
drawback. At the Santa Fe depot this
afternoon when the San Diego train
was about to leave, the rush for places
was great and has never been equaled in
this city. All the floating population seems
TO be bent on going and the demand from
San Diego on local labor channels has
been 90 great that certain lines are ex-
hausted and application had to be made
to San Francisco. At noon telegram
was received here that the Ensenada
steamer was already overloaded and could
accommodate no passengers from this
city.
The little steamer Falcon which former
iy carried excursionists between San Pedro
and Santa Catalina island, has been char
tered to engage in the carrying trade be-
tween San Diego and Ensenada.
