Possibility That Harbor Line Nav Not
BE Settled for Years

A"osiniuty Ahat Harbor Line May Not
BE Settled for Years.
Ex-Governor Eugene semple, of the harbor
nne commission, said yesterday: "The prospect
oi an immediate settlement of the harbor line

very bright -
I'VE have had the decision against the
commission in the superior court, and an an
peal from that finding. II is left TO the marty
snat won TO make the journal entry or decree
with the clerk OF the court don't know how
much OF hurry they are in, but of this am
sure, that they have not yet made the entry.
AFTER the entry, the clerk has thirty DAYS in
wnlen 20 prepare transcript. Then the appel
iants are given thirty days to file their brief.
we are anxious that no time should be lost.
ana so we shall not take the thirty DAYS bnt
shall put in our brief at once Following that.
the appellants have twenty days for their
answer - iA
Nv hen the case is thus finally ready for the
supreme court there is likely to be Considerable

cldi districts Tor tho classification OF these an
peals The judges must take the districts in
their regular order, and King county is number

All this is possible, but sincerely hope that

THE BAKERS STRIKE.
Some of the Bosses Want Night Work
Done.

Last night some of the boss bakers held
meeting at the snoqualmie hotel to discuss the
question of abolishing night work on February
Is, in accordance with the demands of the
Bakers Union. No decision was reached,
A. Krug, OF the Queen City bakery, said he
had incorporated his business, taking as part
ners his men. They were therefore not subject
to the union, and being members of the firm
could work such hours as they chose.
d. Holden, according TO Mr.. Krug, has sold a
half interest in his bakery, and now he does
night work and his partner works in the day.
'sBut,' continued Mr.. Krug, "these partner
ships and interpretations are not recognized by
the union, for il has declared boycott on our
bakery. A committee OF union men follows our
wagon around asking people not to patronize US.
l hardly consider that fair treatment after
have taken men in and given them chance to
own in their own right share in the business"
ID. uamm said: 81 cannot do away with night
work, because my customers prefer hot bread
early in the morning rather than at night. All
the night work is done by members OF the firm"
Edward Eekert, of the Seattle bakery, de-
clared: Il have been making canvass OF my
customers and find that they want hot bread
in the morning. Ii cater TO them / must do
night baking"
The tendency among the bakers seemed to be
TO cling to the plan for night work.

no SITE YET.
The Opera-House Company Still Look
ing Around.


"We have not yet decided on site for our
building, said L. ID. Ross, OF the Seattle Opera
house Company, yesterday. 'There are a num-
Der of good sites on which we have options, but
the final determination has not yet been arrived
at. OF course a number of considerations are to
be taken into the account beside that OF the loca
ton which in the abstract is the best.
''We have been thinking some of the corner
where the old courthouse is, but for that cash
must be paid We did not expect to pay all the
money and get our title cleared and the land
paid for until the building was nearly COM
pleted.
ave are, however, still confident OF getting
the house ready for the summer theatrical sea-
son. You see, the summer season is the best
here. for the better class of companies play in
the Eastern cities during the winter and come
out here when the theaters there are closed.
''Then, too, the number of tourists and sum-
mer visitors give us rather larger houses here in
summer than we could perhaps get in winter"

JANUARY SO, 1901.

JANCahf 81, ioJi.
Keeping right along at
steady pace, our mid-winter
clearance sale gives promise Of
closing with as big business
as it opened to.
There is good cleaning
throughout the house. The
harvest of bargains has not all
been gathered. Every de
partment has pushed forward
new special lines this week.
They are yours to pick up.
The days gone by have been
SO prolific in bargains that out
of the many you may have
overlooked some. 1t pays to
ask for the special goods.
Continuance of the rain
keeps up the run on the ST.
Gossamers. Have you looked
at them YETI The value is
apparent at first glance.
Umbrellas have a special
value to you now at the re-
duced prices.
Constant repetition of the
doings in the Shoe Depart
ment may be wcarisone, but
there is the business to justify
it. When there are big round
dollars to be saved on your
footwear it is certainly worth
your while to be reminded of
it. The men are not slow to
appreciate the way their shoes
are marked special.
In Curtain Department,
third floor, there is Il lot of
extra values that appeal to
housekeepers with artistic
tastes and moderate filled
purses.
There are a lot of those ele-
giant Irish Point Curtains at
extra low prices. Nothing
cheap about their makeup;
only the price markings are
cheap.
Nottinghams, just what COM
bine useful and artistic ideas,
are down at the right prices.
Look them over and also
examine the Lyons Silk Ia
pestry Curtain Goods.
Second show window from
corner will have an interesting
display of Embroideries and
Laces ready for your inspec-
ton by afternoon. This is
sort of a foretaste of the early
spring goods.

Adelaide Moore.

Adelaide Moore and her company presented
"Pygmalion and Galatea'' and the afterpiece
"a silent Woman" last evening at the Seattle
opera-house to an audience that was very much
pleased with the performance. The light
comedy given was not such as to test the full
capabilities Of the players. Miss Moore was
classic Galatea, Mr.. Joseph Wheelock an admir-
able Pygmalion and Mr.. Clay Clements part was
not broad enough to show the great talent of
which he is possessed. The company will play
at Tacoma this evening.
