IT'S to be hoped the Philadelphia
Record understands the tenacious char
acter of great monopoly when it an
ticipates that on The expiration of the
patents of the Bell Telephone com
pany ''there will be an expansion and
improvement in the telegraph industry
that Will astonish the people" 1t would
be pleasant sort of establishment for
those now at the mercy of the present
controllers. The fact that the Bell
company paid $4,000 in legal expenses
last year shows that it has to fight for
its monopoly.

THERE is probably no political signif-

HOW SIR JOHN WON.

The majority of the Canadians in this
city are advocates of reciprocity with the
United States, and therefore their sympa-
thies are with the Liberals in their own
country While they looked for a differ
ent result from the recent election. thew
are consoled by the fact that the Consery.
alive majority was at least materially re-
duced. John T. Barry OF st. Johns, n. B..
who, on his arrival in the city q week or
two ago, expressed strong hope of Liberal
victory, was asked by a Posr-INTrLL1-
GENcER reporter how he explained the re-
suit. He said:
well, Sir John Macdonald is the cley
crest politician in Canada, and he knew
that il he waited till the regular time for
dissolving parliament, year from now, he
ground all along. and in spite Of his iiss eng
of the old flag his majority is reduced
greatly.
'.The greatest surprise is the Lib
eral gains in Ontario and Quebec.
where it was expected that the To.
ries would win. 1t is evident
that the French in Quebec have not gotten
over the hanging of Louis Riel Another
Of closer relations with the United States
is the fact that thousands of French have
moved into New England, so that in MANY
of those factory towns you hear hardly
anything but French spoken. These peo-
pie are constantly visiting their relatives
in Canada, and thus are cultivatine q sem
timent in favor of union.
ut must have been the old flag cry
which carried the maritime provinces. At
the time of the American revolution 4
number of loyalists took refuge there and
were granted large tracts of land. Their
descendants are now among the richest
residents in the provinces, and the old flae
cry would appeal to their traditional ore.

Herman Lawson, the unfortunate pipe
man Of the fireboat Snoqualmie who was
so terribly injured during the practice Fri

tenth chance Of life, bearing with courage
the most dreadful agony. He passed q
very bad day yesterday, and underwent .
severe operation, but rallied somewhat in
the evening. At $50 o'clock his wounds
were dressed, and his condition was
thought to be slightly improved, although
he was still very low. He was not able to
retain any nourishment on his stomach

as to the cause Of his wounds. Many who

Captain Kelleher, Of the fire company on
board the Snoqualmie, who saw the acct

stream struck him in the side. It
sent him with dreadful force
over the wharf for a distance
of forty or fifty feet, turning him

SEEKING NEW FIELDS.
Ballard Mill Companies After Eastern
Trade.


The mill companies of Ballard are max
ing arrangements to send travelling sales
men East for the purpose of working up q
market for their cuts. Portland has been
shipper to Colorado and Utah points for
some time. Tacoma has recently worked
up line of trade east of the Rockies, but
the Ballard mills have only sent ship
ments when ordered by persons who are
familiar with the quality OF the material
turned out there.
Now il is proposed to enter the field as
competitor Of all other markets. In doing
this the mill men of Ballard are simply fol-
lowing the usual course of procedure
where cities spring up from dense forests
and finally become so firmly established
as to warrant such action.
Ballard has long since passed the stage
where doubt of the stability of the city can
be entertained. She is too staunchly es-
tablished to admit of any argument on
this point. Her location as z city is of
such character as to always be a desirable
place of residence and business site.
The strides the town has taken during
the past year are beyond anything of its
suited in larger profits than anywhere
else. and yet there is chance of securing
holding which are bound to yield big re-
turns within the next few months.
No place can offer the same conditions
for the advancement of all interests as
Ballard. The Salmon Bay City has no
rival ON the Sound whose prospects are as
bright nor where as many advantages are
offered.
The institution of new manufacturing
industries, the extension Of the electric car
systems and the improvement Of the
school facilities are all factors for the ad-
vancement of values around the city. ALI
these are in progress of construction.
Real estate in Ballard is growing more
valuable every day, and it is no wonder
that choice bcations are being purchased
at prices which net the original owner
handsome profits. The steady advance of
prices is of healthy nature, and is not
caused by any boom, for Ballard is not
what is termed blooming" 1t is simply
assuming such proportions as her natural
advantages bring about. and those are the
building up of city Of wonderful develop
ment.
People who wait until Ballard has out
grown her present position will have to
paw four times as much for property as
they would now. This is the time to in
vest and let the investment earn the profits
to be derived from the city's expansion.
A few months will mean considerable
difference in the values of Ballard prop
erty. for everything points to steady in
crease in prices, which are all regulated by
actual worth of the property in question.
An investment now means large profits
in a short time. Buy now, before you miss
a good opportunity to make money Or Sc
cure cheap home.

THE LONE HIGHwAYMAN AGAIN.

Seriously Wounds . California Stage
Driven but Secures No Treasure.
REDDING, March THE Redding and Weaver
Vile stage was stopped by lone highwayman
tonight at about halfpast o'clock, two
miles from town. Driver Ed. Graham was
called to halt, and refined up his
team. Immediately . masked robber called to
the driver "Drive up hill q little further"
The team was started and then pulled
up. IA little further the robber shouted, ''or
I'll shoOtp' Messenger Ward raised his gun,
and - he did 90 the highwayman, who was
standing on four-fo0t embankment about
level with the drivers seat, and but
Q few feet distant, fired his revolver ct the
driver, the ball taking effect in the right side:
into the road, pulled his revolver and blazed
away over the TOP OF the coach A second shot
was fired BY the would-be robber, but without
effect BY this time the frightened stage team
was at dead run, and 1t was not known
whether Messenger Wards shot took effect or
not
As it ID supposed that the highwayman is
well acquainted in this neighborh0od, and
knew that this was treasure-trip night, but he
was unprepared for resistance. He was
short, slender built man and wore q light gray
mask There were four passengers aboard, and
with the exception of the driver no one
was injured, although the stage was
considerably damaged by the wild run
OF the horses Grahams wound, while not nee
essarily fatal, Is of serious nature, and he brob
ably owes his life to the thick clothing which
he had on. No one was allowed to go TO the
scene of the attempted robbery, a. this would
make tracking In daylight utterly Impossible.

TAr1orALIsM AND THE GOSPEL.


of Relying ON Reason.
Rev. George A. Tewksbury preached q
sermon at the Plymouth Congregational
church last evening on "RAtionalism and
the Gospel" He spoke of the case of
Naaman and its moral parallel, and said
that spiritually all are lepers and leprosy
lies deep within man and is stealthily
working on sinful souls; that the effect Of
sin is uncleanliness.
He referred to the preconceived ideas of
rationalism and to the divine origin of the
power of thought, the gospel was in
Unite or it was nothing. He spoke of the
redemption and the mystery of godliness
and said the love of God passeth all knowl-
edge and nothing could comprehend it.
but that we must believe as facts much
that we cannot understand.
He compared God to q physician and
thought that we should not tell God how
to cure us, but should abide. in Him and
have faith in His wisdom. He desought
all to let their rationalism be that of God
himself and to forsake all other thoughts
lest they drag them down to death.

In past years we have
brought out spring silks very
early, but this season earlier
and in greater variety than
ever.
Look in the silk department
today and you will see an array
Of styles that will please and
absorb you. But they are
merely samples of the great
stock that is held in the shelves.
It's not our province to make
styles. We simply keep pace
with the new ideas and give
you the goods that you may be
along with what is dictated by
dame fashion as correct.
Here's the touch between
us. You want the latest and
best. We make a point Of
having it for you.
This takes thinking, the kind
that keeps wide open eyes at
midnight.
When you're looking over
the silks, note particularly those
silk grenadines.
There's beauty for you.
The kind of loneliness that
opens wide tight-closed purses.
Here they are with their
stripes, the plain ones. the bro
cades that makes one wonder
how the silk weaver could
dream out such effects, and are
they dear at from $I.a5 to
$2.5o?
There's the visions OF soft
summer days, the kind we have
in Seattle, in the new figured
India and Japanese silks.
Scent Of fragrant flowers in
the strewn floral patterns,
promise Of cooling comfort
when the days are warm.
Hand in hand come troops
of new dress goods. All are
SO worthy Of special attention
that none can be fairly singled
out for particular mention.
Every piece and pattern
that is shown you is new.
The Challies want to have
their say, but the Ginghams
and Sateens are clamoring
equally hard for notice.
These are the days when the
word new fits to everything,
and yet we have received but
a part of the spring stock.
The Muslin Underwear is
marching along to victory to
the inspiring time Of quick
sales. The low price drums
are beating the reveille and
you should see the answering
gathering of customers.
Going to move to second
