He Tells His Plans for the Improvement Of
Il af The City.
Mayor-elect Keinschmidt sat in his office
in the First National bank yesterday re-
ceying congratulations and settling up
some little matters pertaining to the con-
test of the day before. Among the con-
gratulations was the following from Lieut.
Governor Richards at Butte: II extend
hearty congratulations. You belong to the
right family" II. M. Parchen telegraphed
from Los Angeles: Congratulate you up
on your victory"
'Srhe first step will take in my admins
traton," said the newly elected mayor,
will be to appoint from among the alder
men those think best qualified to fill po-
sltlons on the ways and means committee,
and make thorough examination
of the financial affairs of the city, and our
prospective revenue, and we will try to live
within that revenue. From that revenue
we will naturally have to make selection of
enough money for the purposes of good
government, and to paw interest, and the
balance must go for improvements that will
benefit the people. Every branch of the

wrong or crooked, but that | may know
just what is required. We can then deter

and until that is done little can be said.
will not run the city in debt. Only the
money we expect for taxes on the first of
December should be used, and we will not
anticipate next years income. The fnan-
cial problem will be most serious one to
contend with, and If the issuue of bonds
gives US the required relief the city may be
extricated from it's present difficulties.

myself posted. must depend on the coun-
Gil to back me, and j believe can show
good reasons why the policy shall form

l shall lay before the council from time to
time enough work to keep them employed.
ut is very essential that Main street
should be paved, and if property owners on
that thoroughfare will contribute their
warrant it, will have steps taken looking
to that end. One thing will recomm end
in regard to the streets is that we employ
the prison labor in preparing the Macadam
for Macadamizing. l also believe in
instead of having that work done outside
the city, the material should be brought to
to the ground and prepared there. There
is double object In this; it will give the
prisoners employment and make them earn
their board, and it will prepare covering
for the streets which will be of lasting
benefit.
'As to the city officers no doubt there
will be many applicants. but before we do
anything shall ask those who expect Office
to send in their applications. and l
Will make my selections from among the
applicants.
II shall not say much in my inaugural
on Tuesday night next, but will call atten-
tlon from time to time to the matters which
present themselves to me-"

Tho smoke Problem in London.

The latest attempt to solve the "smoke
ppoblem" is the scheme of MIR. Elliott,
London, for condensing the smoke in water
and recovering the by-products. The
smoke is drawn from the chimney by means
of fan into a tank of water in which re-
vovlnR stirrers are moving; by these the
products of combustion are churned up and
arrested and condensed in the water
When the water is fully charged it liz
drawn off and the tank is filed with fresh
ward treated and the by-products due to
the combustion of the coal are to be recov-

Where Soap Is "a Curiosity.

1t is stated that soap in India is regarded
almost i'll the light of u natural curiosity,
for it is rarely if ever to be obtained of a
shopkeeper there. OF course it is sold in the
larger towns; but the amount used by the
natives must be very small seeing that the
total consumption of soap in India last
year was only 5000 tons. This means that
the amount used by each person for tho
year was considerably less than one ounce.

making total Of u,2is.7S miles repre-
scented IN the combined systems They
penetrate the most popuIous regions Of
South Dakota. Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado,
with line running into Texas. There is
no sort of question that on and before the
completion Of the Puget Sound line the
Union Pacific viH use persistent and Judi
eAous efforts 20 induce immigration over
It's line. The present time for such adver-
tissment Of this country Is particularly
suspicious, inasmuch as crops were a fail
IRE the past year in Kansas and Nebraska.
and the year before, when they were
abundant, there was no price. Much the
same condition Of things exists in other
Western states, and there is wholesale dis
satisfaction throughout that whole coun-
trv.
One other point of especial advantage TO
the Union Pacific in its extension 10 the
Sound may be mentioned. Its entire vest
ern system lies through q country that Is
an almost treeiess prairie The SUNNY of
lumber must inevitably come from the
Northwest, and it must be carried over the
Union Pacific lines. The price of lumber
Is yearly growing higher in these barren
states, because the local supply is yearly
getting smaller. The time is near al hand
when there win be great marke, for
Puget Sound lumber in ali that wide re-
gion; and its transportation must be an
immense source Of revenue alike to the
railroad and 90 lumber dealers.

PORT TOWNSEND SOUTHERN.


The construction Of railroad from Ana
cortes, on Fidalgo island. thirty-six miles
up the Skagit river, and from Olympia to
Port Townsend, 10 miles, we're enterprises
undertaken during 1879 and 1890 by the
Oregon improvement Company. The PEG
pie Of Port Townsend had long been
anxious for railroad connection, but.
though they offered heavy subsidies, no
arrangement vas made until the first OF
the past year. The object Of the company
IN entering into the contract was twofoId,
viz, to occupy the rich territory west Of
Puget sound, untraversed by any railroad,
and TO acquire the land subsidy. whose
value was placed al 100000. The route
as surveyed and located was from Olympia
northwest 10 the head Of Hoods canal,
and thence along the west shore
Of the canal 70 Quilcene and Port
Townsend, 10 miles. The narrow
gauge Olympia & Tenino road, sixteen
miles, connecting with the Northern Pa
eide al the latter place, was purchased and
widened to broad gauge, to be used as a
part OF the new system. Construction
was begun In July from Olympia and Port
Townsend. Twenty miles were finished
and track laid from the latter place south
TO Quilcene, and seven miles more were
graded. About four miles Of very heavy
grade were constructed from Olympia to-
wards Hoods canal, at a cost Of about
$4,000 per mile. The Oregon Improve
ment Company in November was placed
in the hands Of receiver, and work on
the road was stopped.

The Walla WaiIa Grain Belt Trzversed
by Competing Ifnes.

An active competitor of the Oregon gail-
way Il Navigation Company, south Of Snake
river in Eastern Washington, is the
Oregon Il Washington Territory railroad,
Of which George ". Hunt Is the chief
owner. In 1877 q number Of business
men of Pendleton organized a company
to build q railroad from WaiIuIa
TO Pendleton, with branch to Center
vile, nos Athena, both towns in Oregon,
the purpose being 20 secure q road COM
peting with the Oregon Railway d Saviga-
ton They contracted with Mr.. Hunt, a
xell-known builder, to construct the line;
and when he had thirty miles Of grade
built he found the company had no money
He then undertook To carry out the project
himself. building forty-two miles to PEN
dletou, with q ffteen-mile branch 10
Athena. Later, in 1853. Mr. Hunt built
from Hunts Junction, near Wallula,
70 Eureka fat, and thence on
20 Walla WaIla- The road was
in 1859 extended to Dixie, waitsburg
and Dayton. The total mileage of the
Hunt system is now 1874 miles, traTersing
the Teat grain-producing belt Of Eastern
Washington, and carrying immense guam
titles Of wheat to the Northern Pacine,
The success of Mr.. Hunt IN the opera
ton Of his system induced him TO project
number Of branches and extensions. In
the early part Of last year, &c narrated
elsewhere, be completed arrangements to
build his Grayis Harbor line. The
ultimate design of Mr. Hunt In con-
structing this road was to connect with
his Eastern Washington system and to
s<sr
water. A road was surveyed from Hunts
Junction down the north bank Of the
Columbia, through the fertile Khckitat
country. crossing the Cascades az Cispus
pass. and then building both TO Portland
and to connection with his Gray's Har5or
line az Centralia- The people Of Port
land took large block Of his bonds
5000, 00o-in consideration Of which he
agreed 70 build into that city during this
year flS91). The project was to make con-
nection with the Gray's Harbor road at
the same time. Mr.. Hunt went East TO
place bonds for his extensions He has
not so far succeeded, though il Is known
that London capitalists at one time agreed
TO take the bonds, but were hindered By
the late financial stringency.
Its well understood that Mr.. Hunts
financial negotiations in Eastern credit
circles were opposed By both the Northern
and Union Pacific railroads, and their in
duence was largely instrumental in secur-
ing his defeat. But he is man OF irdom-
table perseverance and there is small
doubt that he viii ultimately succeed in
carrying out his schemes. Ii is likely that
he has enough personal resources to COM
plete the Gray's Harbor line this year with
out foreign assistance.
