TWO INDIAN FACTIONS.

vided.

The Mukleshoots Arc at Present d.
vided.
Mr.. C. C. Thornton, the TuiaIip Indian
agent. was at the Arlington Yesterday,
and today he goes down to the Mukleshoot
reservation which is also under his charge
He will end his trip by going to the Madi-
son reservation.
The Indians in the Mukleshoot reser-
walton have developed a slight factional
difficulty" said he yesterday, this show
ing that Indians are in some ways not
unlike white men.
ssThere are some two hundred Indians
IN the reservation, and from what I can
learn about sixteen of them want a new
sub-agent. A few days ago had letter
from Slaughter, dated March 6. 1t was
written by S. w. Storrs, who said that he
was coming home through the reservation,
when he was called into meeting of these
men who chose him sub-agent in place of
Charles Forget who, Storrs said, Is about
to leave.
Now the fact is" continued Mr.. Thorn
ton, Il know nothing of Forget's leaving,
IN that matter. Furthermore, if he does
leave, the appointment, as understand,
is in my hands, not in the hands of the
Indians. | am responsible for the acts of
the sub-agent. and don't propose to have
sixteen Indians choose him.
"StOrrS sent these names as those at the
meeting: Robert James, John Lacolon.
Peter Colquiton. William Daniel, Domin-
lex. Seile, Star, James Robb, Joseph Bell,
Daniel Lacolon, Samuel Shaw, John
James, John Cutsup, Sam Steve, Philip
and Stuck Jack, Anthony James.
These men are not the representative
Indians Of the reservation by any means"

rAcoMA's TERMINAL SUBSIDY.

Terms Of the Agreement With the Union
Pacific to BE Settled Soon.
TACOMA, March FL Special. THE cifi-
zens of the Union Pacific subsidy COM
mittee this evening met with Chief En-
gineer Bogue and assured him that the
terminal subsidy would be continued one
year from January l, next. Bogue simply
wanted to know, he said, so that when the
road reaches here it will be sure of term
inal facilities.
Bogue went to Portland at midnight
aud viii return nett week with General
Dodge. one of the Union Pacific heavy
stockholders, when definite proposals and
an agreement relative to the terms of the
subsidy will be presented for signature.
The citizens subsidy committee seem
confident that if the Great Northern and
Union Pacific do not build the road jointly
then the Union Pacific will build it alone.
Other railroad men, who know something
of the inside features Of the Union Pacific
financial condition. say the Union Pacific
cannot build the road, as heavy stockhold.
ers in the Northern Pacific are also heavy
holders of Union Pacific stock, and there
fore win not permit the building of the
road unless it is TO be Northern Pacific
feeder. to be used to keep its rivals, the
Canadian Pacific and Great Northern, out
of the field.

Foreclosure ON the Chicago, Kansas &
Nebraska-Gould May Buy II.
KANSAS CRY, March 12-Judge Cald-
well, in the United States circuit court,
has signed a decree of foreclosure in the
case Of the Rock Island road against the
Chicago, Kansas e. Nebraska, and the lat
ter line will now be disposed of at public
sale to satisfy the Rock Islands mortgage
Of SIS 100000 The case has been holly
contested for over year. The con-
troversy arose over the foreclos-
ure of the mortgage on the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska road. Counties of
Nebraska and Kansas through which the
road was built voted s., coo 900 in aid of it,
and they fought the foreclosure. Judge
Caldwell referred the case to Newman Erb
as referee. Erb decided in favor of the
Rock Island, and Caldwell sustained the
decision. The Kansas and Nebraska coun-
ties lose the value of their stock, which
will become worthless on the sale of the
road. 1t is rumored q Gould syndicate
will buy the road when it is put up at auc-
ton, and thus kill active competition with
the Union Pacific.
NEW YORK, March 12-The directors of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail-
road have declared a semi-annual dividend
of n per cent. on preferred stock. The
statement of the road for the six months
ending December 81, shows the net earn
ings to be $3.50. 900; surplus, after paying
dividends, $296 600

Telephone Company has declared divi-
dend Of per cent.

IN GOULD'S BEHALF.
Old Union Pacific Pioneer Com
ing to the Sound.
TO LOOK At PORTLAND LINE.
General Dodge, the ssWisard's" Repre-
sentative. ON the way-An lndepend-
emit Line Now the Talk.

A personal representative of Jay Gould
will soon be here TO look over the route Of
the Union Pacific road from Portland to
Seattle. He is General NJ. A. Dodge, Of
Denver, who has been selected BY Jay
Gould to look over the ground between
Portland and Seattle and make some adj
justment of the difficulties over the extern
sion between these two cities. General
Dodge, who was one of the original engi-
neers of the Union Pacific, and who has
since been in the directory Of that road,
has high reputation as a practical rail-
road man. and is one of Mr.. Gould's most
trusted advisers. He is now in San Fran
cisco, but will soon be on hand to look
over the ground between Portland and
Seattle.
General Dodge's coming has been pre-
coded by that of Mr.. and Mrs. F. s. Pusey,
of Denver, his son-in-law and daughter.
Mr.. Pusey. who is one of the Union Pacific
contractors, said last evening: 81 have,
of course, no official connection with the
road, and can speak only as an outsider.
My understanding is that Gould was not
wholly satisfied with the route and other
arrangements were made for the extension
by Adams, and now he is trying to make
coHtS pan W LAcl " III serve tie cuQ OcttcI
Personally have no doubt that some basis
of agreement will be reached by which the
Union Pacific and the Great Northern will
join their forces in this extension
The latest report from other sources is to
the effect that an independent line will be
built without regard to the agreement with
the Great Northern. Difficulties have
arisen about the route which seem incapa-
bic of settlement, the Union Pacific being
unwilling to give up the route already
selected, while the Great Northern desires
a more direct and less costly one. The
subsidies secured by the Union Pacific are
also an inducement to it to continue work
independently, as they are chiefly on the
part of the road which it had been agreed
that the Great Northern should build
The Union Pacific may have lucrative
source of revenue in a trackage arrange
ment with the Burlington. The two sys-
TENS have such arrangements on several
lines in the East and are generally har-
monious in their workings.
Y. G. Bogue, chief engineer; w. ". Cot
ton, general attorney, and E. Mcneil,
general manager of the Union Pacific, will
be here tomorrow to arrange for the re-
sumption of word on the road.

SEATTLE FLOUR MILL COMPANY.
The Prospectus Issued Yesterday-Good
Business Assured.

The Prospectus Issued Yesterday-Good
Business Assured.
The Seattle Flour Mill Company has
just issued prospectus containing among
other matter the following facts regarding
the new organization:
This company proposes to erect q mill with .
capacity of 600 barrels of 1s6 pounds per twenty
the city. and about two miles from the business
center. The location is most advantageous
and desirable one, and OF large intrinsic value,
having rail communication with eli roads en-
tering the city on one side OF it and deep water
on the other.
The field for such an enterprise il entirely un-
standpoint, OF this enterprise can be readily I'M
derstood from the following facts: Washington
ranks first among the states of the Union in the
yieid Of wheat per are, the quality OF which is
amounted to 81 900 600 bushels.
Seattle is connected by rail with the majority
facturer to handle raw material promptly. Al
most adjoining the location upon which the
mill is to be erected 10 an elevator with 10000 900
YEAR This viii enable the mill compsny pai Il
they 30 desire, to draw their supply from the
elevator at any and all times in case they do not
wish to carry q stock of wheat on hand
The average price of wheat at Seattle during
the past year has been 50 cents per bushel. The
average sale of -four Seattle during the past six
months has been l5ooo barrels per R,onth-the
With the present demand for 1000 barrels per
month at Seattle alone, with a rapidly growing
population and an open highway to the markets
OF the world, there is nothing to prevent the
success of this enterprise under proper manage
ment.
When it is borne in mind that Seattle is 5000
miles nearer Vladiyostock, $500 miles nearer
Shanghai, $500 miles nearer The mouth of the
AMOR river and 4. 100 miles nearer Canton than
il Liverpool, the advantages OF this location can
be readily understood.
The following named gentlemen are the incor-
porators of the Seattle Flour Mill Company: A.
NJ. Brookes, cashier Boston National Bank of
Seattle: Alexander Tod Brown, of Edinburgh,
Scotland; A. q. Simpson, of Arcadia, Mo-;
Abram Barker, vice-president of the Merchants
National Bank of Seattle, and A. p. Mitten, q
capitalist of this city.
OF the above trustees the following officers
have been elected: A. NJ. Brookes, president:
Abram Barker, yiee-president; A. G. simpson.
general manager; A. 7. Brown. superintendent:
A. n Brookes, treasurer, and A. r. Mitten, sec
rotary.
The capital stock of the company is
$4,000, divided into 1000 shares. It is
believed that only so per cent will be
called in, and on that amount the mill will
pay Is per cent. income.
A. G. Simpson, the manager, has gone
East to make the arrangements for build
ing.

ing to leave it. The western end is, I
know, useless. because the soil is too dry
and sandy. but in the eastern part there
are fine crops of corn. The corn is crop
that does not fail in Nebraska.
II should think that when these hills OF
yours are cleared off, those of them that
are too steep for ordinary cultivation
would form the finest possible grazing
lands. You have no severe winters to- kill
the cattle, and your grass is green all
winter, so that the stock can Craze the year
around. In Nebraska it Is necessary to
feed cattle for about six months out Of
every twelve"

they can be made in the East and brought
