A robbery is reported to have been COM
mitted at the Seattle. Lake Shore & East

leased.

The city council have decided that a
bridge across the river at this place is a
badly needed improvement, and have au-
thorized the San Francisco Bridge Com
pany to furnish plans and specifications,
together with the costs, to be submitted to
that body in very short time. Should
be one of the best moves ever made
for this place. Besides the vast amount
Of farm trade it will bring to this place, it
will be the cause of men of capital and
experience taking hold of the large saw
mill and factories of Blackman Bros and
running them TO their full capacity. A
plank road sixty feet in width will be
made from the bridge to the mills, a dis
lance of about one mile, and all lumber
used for building purposes in this city will
be hauled by teams instead of being
brought in by rail at a cost of 1925 per
1000. The lumber, on good road can be
transferred with teams. TO all parts of
town, very nearly as CHEAP from the mills
as from the yards near the depot From
the present outlook Snohomish will be
blessed with the most prosperous season
yet had in the existence of the city.

Union Pacific Resuminx Work.

The Castle Rock Adrocatc says: All
along the line of the partly constructed
grade of the Union Pacific preparations
are being made for the early resumption
of work. Men have been put to work
on the bridge at Vancouver and sup
plies are being placed on the ground
that would indicate vigorous prosecu-
ton of the work at very early date. At
Kalama and all along the line between
there and Castle Rock the contractors are
getting in supplies of feed for stock and
men. In conversation with prominent
railroad man this week the 4drocote
representative was informed that the en-
gineers had SO far made only the slightest
deviations from the original line and that
there was no prospect of bridging the river
at kelso, but will cross at the point where
the original survey touches the river and
where the elevation will be sufficient to
enable the trains 10 pass over the North
ern, thus obyiating the necessity of stop
ping as is the rule where one track crosses
another on the same level

TO SEE THE DRY DOCK
Chamber Of Commerce Excur.
sion to Port Townsend.
STARTS TOMORROW MORNING.
Strong E6ort to be Made TO Raise
the Subscription TO $4,000
Of Stock.

A meeting of the Chamber OF Commerce
trustees was held yesterday morning to
consider the question of bringing Captain
Leroy De Lions dry dock here 1t was de-
cided to make the effort to secure the
dock. In order to give the members of
the Chamber of Commerce a chance to see
the work an excursion to Port Townsend
viii be given to the members tomorrow
morning.
At the meeting E. o. Graves, E. F. Wit
tier, DR.. A. P. Mitten, Alfred Holman,
Herman Chaplin, Jacob Furth, Charles III.
Kittinger, Griffith Davies. George HI. He'll
bron. Thomas w. Prosch, u. r. Niesz and
B. F. Shaubut were present from the
board; Colonel C. NJ. Sheafe, Joseph F.
Mcknight, D. n. Howard and Captain W.
]. Bryant from the chamber at large, and
Captain ]. B. Libby, representing Captain
De Lion.
Mr.. Whittier, Colonel Sheafe and Mr.
Mcknight, who as q special committee
had gone to Port Townsend the day before
to look at the work on the dock as thus far
completed, reported that everything pre-
sented q very favorable appearance. All
the work had been done by days labor in
stead of by contract, and everything was
made from the best material. About $50,-
600 had been expended thus far, and the
fines. machinery costing over $50. 600 had
been ordered from the East. The sheeting
was to be of copper, and in short there
was nothing left to be desired so far as
good workmanship was concerned. The
members of the committee were all enthu-
siastic.
Captain Libby and Mr.. Mcknight then ex-
planned Captain De Lions proposal, which
was to reorganize the company on capi-
talization of $3.50, 900. If citizens of Seattle
will take SAC, 600 of this stock and furnish
site. the dock will be brought here when
completed and will always remain. Capt.
De Lion will guarantee Il per cent. inter-
est on the 1000 of stock for at least three
years after the dook begins to operate; and
as bond of good faith will give deeds of
all his property, amounting to about $780,
600, to be put in escrow until his share of
the bargain isfulflled.
Captain Bryant.w who is the United States
inspector Of hulls at this city, declared
that the dock would surely pay. There
are 200 steamers on the Sound, each of
which has to be docked on an average of
three times q year. All the Coast and
Alaska steamers would use the dock, in
stead of running down to San Francisco
as they are now compelled to do; and the
steamers running to China and Japan
would gather here for docking and ballast.
Last year the inspector of hulls had to
send the George w. Elder to San Fran
cisco to be docked. and that was the third
instance of the kind.
Mr.. Bryant continued that large force
of men-in New York 2OO-is put on a ves-

Immediately, without these rails, and if

How California Firm Got It's Honey
Into ENGLAND.

How . California Firm Got Its Honey
Into England.
Mr.. W. H. Wright, of the San Jose Fruit
Packing Company, is at the Rainier hotel,
on his way home from a trip to the East.
Mr.. Wright himself is in fact the CON-
pany, which puts up more canned fruits
than any other in the state of California
The hrm employs about 1000 men. I'VE
have been nineteen years building up the
business, said Mr.. Wright, .'and We now
send our fruits to all parts of the world.
England is our best market, and she takes
> good many peaches, pears and apricots.
You see the London market has buyers
for the very finest grades Of fruit that can
be procured in the world. We also send
to Australia and Japan, and all over
Europe.
I'VE first got foothold in England in
rather an odd way some years ago. Our
initial consignment was honey, and every
bit oft was seized by the customs officials
on the ground that it was adulterated. OF
course the fact received good deal Of pub
licity in the papers.
'sOur agent cabled us, and we cabled
back to have the honey analysed. So it
went to the government chemists who
pronounced it absolutely pure. That fact
was also widely heralded, and we got i've
or six thousand dollars worth of advertis-
ing over the whole affair.
1.-THE result was that when that honey
went on the market, it sold in a jiffy. The
next year we sent 200 tons, and the year
following still more, adding our canned
fruits, and so we have gone ever since.
1.-THE season promises to be a good one
in California fruit. Southern California
has recovered from its boom, and is now
on q sound basis. Some of the lot prop
erty, that never should have been plated,
has gone back into acres; but the best bust
ness property holds its own. The people
have pocketed their losses and are looking
