L. 4 ~. ". Midland.

A lively war is going on between
the L. & N. and Kentucky Midland
Railroads over the side track con-
Meeting the two roads in the L. & N.
yards.
The track was laid at the expense
of the Midland, on the ground owned
by the L. & N, and without it the
Midland has great difficulty in back
ing into it's freight yards, and it is
claimed by the Midland officials that
the L. & N. people know this, and
have lately been trying to hamper the
Midland in revenge for certain
freights that the Midland gets now
which the L. & N. used to monopo-
lie, and also because the Midland
refused to let the L. & N. run a
switch around upon that part of the
track in question, so that at any time
the L. and N. desired to do it, the
Midland would be effectually blocked
out of its track and freight yard. All
this within the past few months cul-
minated on Thursday in an attempt
by the L. and N. to out-butt the loco
motives of the Midland. The track
having been blocked and held with
freight ears by the L. and N. a few
days past, either inadvertently or
purposely, and the officials of the L.
and N. showing no disposition to
remedy the grievance, Traffic Man.
ager Harper, of the Midland, deter
mined to put into use his own reme-
dy. Accordingly, he bided his time,
and when the L. and N. pulled their
cars off the track, Thursday, intend
ing to replace them with others, Mr..
Harper had his switch engine with a
train ready to back the Midland cars
upon the track. AS soon as this was
noticed by the L. and N, the big
switch engine, which is more power
full than the Midland engine, backed
with a train of cars into the Midland
cars and endeavored to push the Mid
land cars and locomotive off the
track. 1t succeeded, but finally had
to go across the river to get water,
and, during it's absence, the Midland
backed down again upon the track,
where Mr.. Harper held the cars in
their place with rails laid across the
track and spiked. That is the atti-
tude of the situation at present, but
it will have to be settled at railroad
headquarters, or be carried to the
courts.

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS-.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-O'Ferral, of Vir.
ginia, and Smith, of Arizona, were the only
democrats in the hall when the house waf
called to order. The clerk. under direction
of the speaker, called the roll on the ap-
proval of Fridays journal. The vote re-
suited, yeas, 1853; nays, none; no quorum.
call of the house was ordered and one
hundred and fifty-nine members responded,
and still no quorum. Adjourned.
After the passage of a number of unim-
portant bills the senate considered the
joint resolution proposing an amendment
to the constitution in relation to the manu-
tation and sale of alcoholic liquors, and
Blair called for a vote. Cockrell asked that
the committees report be read, and
the reading occupying what was left of
the hour assigned to the calendar, no
vote was taken on the resolution. The SEN
ate then resumed consideration of the bill
to define and regulate the jurisdiction of
the courts of the United States. the pending
question being on Daniels amendment ex-
tending the jurisdiction of the supreme
court. It was rejected. Vest offered SUBJ
stitute for the bill proposing three divisions
Of the supreme court, of three justices each,
the chief justice to make assignments to
these divisions: that all final decisions of
these divisions be considered by the court
en- banc, and shall require the concurrence
of five justices. Vest did not insist on a
vote on his amendment, and the bill was
reported from the committee of the whole

session, and adjourned without disposing

DICK TATE'S WHEREABOUTS.
kentucky's Missing Treasurer Seen in Dali
las Comfy. Mo

las County, Mo.
FRANKFORT, KY, Sept 22-Dick Tate, Ken
tucky's fugitive treasurer, has been seen
again. ]. McIsey, of Springfield, Mo-, has
written here for requisition, declaring
positively that he has spotted the man. He
had so much confidence in his judgement
that he inclosed the necessary fee for the
requisition. McBey says he has certainly
located Tate in Dallas County, Mo-, the
county just to the mouth and adjoining the
County of Green, of which Springfield is
the county seat. The idea of the arrest of
Tate in Missouri is believed by the officials
here to be out of the realms of probability,
unless he has grown desperate enough by
the enforced absence from his family to be-
come careless as to the consequences of his
return to America.
The only thing that gives any, color to
McBey's confidence" said friend of Mr..
Tate to day, sis that Tate has half
brother living in that part of Missouri, to
whom he may have rashly gone in disguise
in safe concealment from the officers of the
law, yet close enough to Kentucky to learn
all that he may be yearning to know of his
family and friends. However, l think his
arrest there or any place else in America is
most doubtful"
Tate was state treasurer of Kentucky two
years ago, leaving his accounts in muddle
and about S150,OO0 short.

The appearance in this city of Clara
Morris will be an event of more than ordi-
nary Importance in Helena theatricals. Be-
yond doubt Miss Morris is the greatest
emotional actress ON the STAGE and her
praises have been sung by men of eminence
in the world of critics. What stronger
praise could have been put into words than
this by the late Dion Boucicault to Miss
Morris after a performance of Camille? d?

The above company opened a three nights

pretty drama, entitled "Queena" and it was
witnessed by fair sized audience. The
audience was very liberal in its applause of
the Work of Miss Gage in the title role, and

been in bed instead of on the stage; her
voice was very weak, and she deserves cred

complained Of her acting to learn that she
was very i'll, and had physician attending

Sam Silverman Talks About the New
OkanOgan Country.
Samuel Silverman, mining man who
is we'll known in Montana, Idaho and this
state and has for over fifteen wears been
identified with mines in various states, was
seen yesterday at the Rainier hotel, says
the Seattle Telegraph of last Saturday, and
in reply to inquiries of the reporter about
the mining resources of this state, gave the
following information:
81 am interested III a mine near Ruby, in
the Okanogan country. upon which forty.
five men have been at work and turned out
over $30O.OO0 of ore above the 100 foot level
We paid $4,000 for seven-eighths of the
mine, when it was only sixteen feet deep
and short time ago sold a part of the mine
to men IN Montana and St. Louis for 1925.
600. That fact alone ought to prove that
there are mines III this state of great wealth
Colorado. Utah, Idaho and Montana owe
their present prosperity to their gold, silver
and lead Mines Montana heads the list
June 30 last with an output of over $40, 900,
coo. The mineral resources of Washington
state are at present comparatively obscure
and but very limited territory has vet been
prospected.
There are several reasons why the min
ing industry of this state has been neg
lected. The rich agricultural land of the
southern part, the coal and timber land OF
the west. together with the great shipping
facilities of Puget Sound have attracted the
attention of the capitalists and furnished
such profitable Investment that the mineral
wealth of the northwest has been over
looked.
The greater part of the mining region of
this state was until recently an Indian res
ervatlon and almost as unexplored AS Africa
The hardy prospectors have, however
worked their way into the mountains OF
Washington, and their energy and toll have
been richly rewarded in many cases. The
discovery of precious metals made in the
northern counties have surprised the
mining men of the northwest; anC
the capitalists who have made in
vestigations have not been slow t,
make investments. The mines of Okano
gan, on the eastern slope of the Cascades
have passed the stage of prospects and a
large and rich veins as any fouud west O
the Rockies are found. Besides the one
hove mentioned. there are three others noy
being vigorously developed. Several car
loads of rich ore from the Fourth of Jul
mine. shipped to Butte, netted the owner
from 500 to $500 per ton, and there ar
other valuable mines there.
1.-The ad-silver mines recently locate
near the proposed line of the Great North
ern railroad compare favorably with simi
lar mines in the CHur d'Alenes and wit
railroad facilities those mines are bound /
become great producers. 1t will not
long BEFORE the state of Washington will b
known as the peer of producers of preciou
metals and will send her share of gold an
silver into the streams of commerce"

full. 1t is clear and resonant, exceedingly
flexible and pure. Her articulation is per-
feet, and she sings with freedom from eff
fort seen rarely except in the most famous

full and thrilling. 1t is rather dramatic
than emotional. Her renditions last night
covered an extraordinary versatility and
range.
