Four carloads of rails arrived Wednesday and
four more yesterday from the East for the Sc
attic Terminal railway. Men will be set to work
today or tomorrow laying the track, and it is
thought that the rails will arrive last enough to
admit of continuous work so that the line will
be completed to the West Seattle wheat ware
houses before the shipments of wheat begin to
arrive. The work is going ahead rapidly on the
draw-bridge and it will be ready for rails when
the track layers reach it.

willing TO venture opinion TO what under
standing the convention would come to on the
question OF utilization with the Federation OF
Railroad Employees
Mr.. Arthur said that from what he had oh
served sentiment was about divided on the
matter. 81 have not had sufficient time to
CLEAN the opinions of the delegates since
nave arrived and cannot, therefore, give you
an idea about how the matter will be disposed
When asked how he regarded the proposition
to unite with the knights Of Labor Mr. Arthur
would not commit himself
The general sentiment Of the delegates seen

the delegates would knock IL out THE west

he. but l believe they are largely in the
minority"

The Government Owned the Box

case was tried before Judge Mills in the
Police Court this morning in which the owner
ship OF Photographic box was the question to
be decided. John Nephew, the photographer,
was charged with the larceny Of the box from
Jos. Able. The latter it appeared, went to
Nephew's place Sunday to develop some pic
lures, and while there Mr.. Nephew claimed
that he owned the box. Mr. Able,
it was shown, had borrowed the
box from Cudlip's establishment and
each side attempted to prove ownership by
certain breaks in the box. From the evidence
submitted Judge Mills was satisfied that the
box was really the property of the government
and had been loaned by Mr.. Killers OF the geo.
logical survey to the late Mr.. Cudlip about five
years ago. In conclusion the court
found that Mr.. Nephew was hon
estly mistaken in tho belief that
the box was his property and therefore dis
missed the charge of larceny. The box was
turned over to Mr.. Killers to be returned to
the geological survey. Mr.. Nephew was not
satisfied with the judges decision. and wanted
to appeal the case, but the judge told him that
his remedy was to replevin the property.

sent to District Surveyor Forsyth, with re,
quest that survey be made in order to accu-
rately determine the metes and bounds of the
various pieces of property included in the
square. 1t is probable that Mr.. Forsyth will
be able to make report next week and
when that has been received a petition will be
filed IN the court asking that the property be
condemned for the use OF the government A
jury will be appointed to view the property and
determine its value, and the findings of the
jury will have to be approved by the President
